Various species of fruit fly cause developed mesoclinate frontal setae and damage to fruit and other plant crops, some fruit subcostal vein bent sharply anteriorly at right flies are used as agents of, thereby reducing the angle before the apex, weakened or evanescent populations of pest species. Most fruit flies lay beyond the bend. In addition, the costa has three their eggs in plant tissues, where the larvae find breaks viz., costal, humeral and subcostal their first food upon emerging.

Found in a single locality (Parszowice) in Lower Silesia, this species was recorded in a garden on Bryonia alba. Notes on the identification, biology and remarks on the general distribution and origin of the northern populations of this species are given. Colour photographs of the habitus and live specimens are also provided. Key words: Goniglossum wiedemanni, Carpomyini, species new for Poland, Lower Silesia, general distribution, Bryonia alba. INTRODUCTION Species from the family Tephritidae, the larvae of which develop in fruit, belong to the subfamilies Dacinae and Trypetinae. They occur most numerously in regions with a tropical or subtropical climate, where they pose a serious economic problem: in some areas they give rise to crop losses worth many millions of dollars. In central Europe, there are only a few species whose larvae feed on fruit; they belong exclusively to the tribes Carpomyini and Trypetini from the subfamily Trypetinae.

Another part of the updated checklist of Finnish flies is presented. This part covers the families Lonchaeidae, Pallopteridae, Piophilidae, Platystomatidae, Tephritidae, Ulididae, Coelopidae, Dryomyzidae, Heterocheilidae, Phaeomyii- dae, Sciomyzidae and Sepsidae. Eight species are recorded from Finland for the first time. The following ten species have been erroneously reported from Finland and are here deleted from the Finnish checklist: Chaetolonchaea das- yops (Meigen, 1826), Earomyia crystallophila (Becker, 1895), Lonchaea hirti- ceps Zetterstedt, 1837, Lonchaea laticornis Meigen, 1826, Prochyliza lundbecki (Duda, 1924), Campiglossa achyrophori (Loew, 1869), Campiglossa irrorata (Fallén, 1814), Campiglossa tessellata (Loew, 1844), Dioxyna sororcula (Wie- demann, 1830) and Tephritis nigricauda (Loew, 1856).

  • Flies) Benjamin Kongyeli Badii
    Chapter Phylogeny and Functional Morphology of Diptera (Flies) Benjamin Kongyeli Badii Abstract The order Diptera includes all true flies. Members of this order are the most ecologically diverse and probably have a greater economic impact on humans than any other group of insects. The application of explicit methods of phylogenetic and morphological analysis has revealed weaknesses in the traditional classification of dipteran insects, but little progress has been made to achieve a robust, stable clas- sification that reflects evolutionary relationships and morphological adaptations for a more precise understanding of their developmental biology and behavioral ecol- ogy. The current status of Diptera phylogenetics is reviewed in this chapter. Also, key aspects of the morphology of the different life stages of the flies, particularly characters useful for taxonomic purposes and for an understanding of the group’s biology have been described with an emphasis on newer contributions and progress in understanding this important group of insects. Keywords: Tephritoidea, Diptera flies, Nematocera, Brachycera metamorphosis, larva 1. Introduction Phylogeny refers to the evolutionary history of a taxonomic group of organisms. Phylogeny is essential in understanding the biodiversity, genetics, evolution, and ecology among groups of organisms [1, 2]. Functional morphology involves the study of the relationships between the structure of an organism and the function of the various parts of an organism. The old adage “form follows function” is a guiding principle of functional morphology. It helps in understanding the ways in which body structures can be used to produce a wide variety of different behaviors, including moving, feeding, fighting, and reproducing. It thus, integrates concepts from physiology, evolution, anatomy and development, and synthesizes the diverse ways that biological and physical factors interact in the lives of organisms [3].

Psyt- talia masneri, sp. n., was reared from fruits of Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker Gawl. (Liliaceae) infested with Taomyia marshalli Bezzi in western Kenya. Psyttalia masneri is the only opiine braconid known to attack members of the genus Taomyia. Unusual morphological features of P. masneri and its host are detailed. Psyttalia halidayi, sp. n., was reared from fruits of Lettowianthus stellatus Diels (Annonaceae) infested with Ceratitis rosa Karsch in coastal Kenya. Psyttalia halidayi is morphologically similar to several described species of Psyttalia that have previously been used in the biological control of tephritid pests.

  • A Scanning Electron Microscope Study1
    Türk. entomol. derg., 2018, 42 (2): 109-116 ISSN 1010-6960 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.16970/entoted.371182 E-ISSN 2536-491X Original article (Orijinal araştırma) Spermathecae morphology of some Tephritinae (Diptera: Tephritidae) species: A scanning electron microscope study1 Bazı Tephritinae (Diptera: Tephritidae) türlerinin spermateka morfolojisi: Bir taramalı elektron mikroskop çalışması Murat KÜTÜK2* Mehmet YARAN3 Ekrem ASLAN2 Filiz ÖZBAŞ GERÇEKER2 Abstract Spermathecal structure of five species [Campiglossa producta (Loew, 1844), Campiglossa tessellata (Loew, 1844), Euaresta bullans (Wiedemann, 1830), Tephritis formosa (Loew, 1844), Tephritis nigricauda (Loew, 1856)] from subfamily Tephritinae were examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. The specimens were collected between 1999 and 2013 from various provinces of Turkey. Spermathecae were coated in gold/palladium with a Emitech SC 7620 Sputter Coater and examined with a Jeol 6390 LV scanning electron microscope (SEM) operated at 10 kV. Spermathecal structures were characterized as spermathecal bulb, pumping region and spermathecal channel. Descriptions of the spermathecal structures, size of spermathecal bulb, aspect ratio of spermathecal bulb and SEM micrographs of spermathecae are presented for each species. Keywords: SEM, spermathecae, Tephritidae, Tephritinae Öz Tephritinae altfamilyasına ait beş türün [Campiglossa producta (Loew, 1844), Campiglossa tessellata (Loew, 1844), Euaresta bullans (Wiedemann, 1830), Tephritis formosa (Loew, 1844), Tephritis nigricauda (Loew, 1856)] spermateka yapıları ışık ve taramalı elektron mikroskopu (SEM) kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Türler 1999 ve 2013 yılları arasında Türkiye’nin çeşitli illerinden toplanmıştır. Spermateka örneklerine Emitech SC 7620 Sputter Coater ile altın/paladyum kaplaması yapılarak Jeol 6390 LV SEM ile 10 kV’ da incelendi. Spermateka yapıları spermatekal bulb, pompalama bölgesi ve spermateka kanalı olarak karakterize edilmiştir.
