Hermann Loew – Wikipedia Hermann Loew – Wikipedia http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Loew aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie Friedrich Hermann Loew (* 19. Juli 1807 in Weißenfels; † 21. April 1879 Halle (Saale)) war ein deutscher Insektenforscher. 1 Leben 2 Schriften 3 Literatur 4 Weblinks Hermann Loew war Lehrer für Mathematik und Naturgeschichte in Posen und arbeitete später als Professor und Direktor der Realschule in Meseritz. Außerdem engagierte er sich politisch und gehörte vom 18. Juni 1848 bis zum 20. Mai 1849 der Frankfurter Nationalversammlung (in der auch sein Bruder Friedrich Loew vertreten war) und von 1874 bis 1876 dem Preußischen Hermann Loew Abgeordnetenhaus an. Zu seinen wissenschaftlichen Leistungen zählen insbesondere seine Arbeiten über Fliegen (Insecta: Diptera). Loew hat unter anderem zahlreiche Raubfliegen (Asilidae) erstmals beschrieben.

  • The Craneflies of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55)
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Craneflies of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55) John Kramer* Tipula maxima – Graham Calow LESOPS 26 (2011) ISSN 0957 - 1019 *31 Ash Tree Road, Oadby, Leicester LE2 5TE 1 Introduction It is necessary to say at the outset that, since craneflies are not a scientific group, its meaning has changed over the years. It seems to be synonymous with daddy long-legs , meaning all long-legged two-winged flies. These, in the past, have included Winter Gnats (Trichoceridae) Fold-winged flies (Ptychopteridae) and Dixidae. The present meaning, used here, is restricted to the super-family Tipuloidea (Order Diptera) which, for the past 20 years (Starý 1992), has been composed of four families - Tipulidae, Pediciidae, Cylindrotomidae and Limoniidae. I have tried to provide a firm basis for further work on craneflies in VC55, and to suggest what that work might be. There are voucher specimens for most, though not all, of the records and wherever there is only a single record, more records are needed to firmly establish that species on the county list. Pioneering work in Europe Before any meaningful lists of craneflies could be produced it was necessary to have fixed and unambiguous names for them. The genus-species naming system for doing this was first provided for the then-known craneflies by the 1758 volume of Linnaeus’s Systemae Naturae , published in Sweden, so this date provides a starting-point. Linnaeus named 14 of the more conspicuous craneflies on the British Checklist. Johan Christian Fabricius was a student of Linnaeus and did more work than his mentor on insects.

On the basis of long-term data (2007-2018), the fauna of robber flies (Asilidae) of the Republic of Mordovia was studied. Taking into account our own and literary data, 35 species of robber flies from 18 genera were noted. Of them, 19 species were noticed in the Republic of Mordovia for the first time. We presented the photos of morphological traits of Choerades fuliginosa (Panzer 1798), Choerades gilva (Linnaeus 1758), Choerades ignea (Meigen 1820), Laphria gibbosa (Linnaeus 1758), Andrenosoma albibarbe (Meigen 1820), Andrenosoma atra (Linnaeus 1758), Didysmachus picipes (Meigen 1820), Dysmachus stylifer (Loew 1854), Pamponerus germanicus (Linnaeus 1758), Philonicus albiceps (Meigen 1820), Machimus gonatistes (Zeller 1840), Neoitamus cothurnatus (Meigen 1820), Neoitamus cyanurus (Loew 1849), Dioctria atricapilla (Meigen 1804), Leptogaster cylindrica (De Geer 1776).

Female Asilidae deposit Robber flies (Insecta: Diptera: Asilidae) comprise a white/yellow/brown eggs on low-lying plants and grasses, large and widespread family of insects. The adults are in sand or in crevices within soil, bark, or wood. Egg- often active flies of considerable size and readily attract laying habits depend on the species and their attention (Geller-Grimm, 2005). Asilid adults attack morphological adaptations; most species deposit eggs in insects of almost all orders, from wasps, bees, and flies groups in the soil or inserted into plant parts; a few to dragonflies and grasshoppers; even some spiders are deposit their eggs in masses, which are then covered with eaten (Lavigne et al., 1978; Lavigne, 2001).

  • (Diptera: Asilidae) of the Nearctic Region
    CATALOG OF THE ROBBER FLIES (DIPTERA: ASILIDAE) OF THE NEARCTIC REGION EmMm Fisher Calif. Dept. Food & Agric. 3294 Meadowview Road Sacramento, CA 95832 and J. Wilcox Anaheim, CA (dec.: Dec. 1982) Preliminary draft -- not for publication. April, 1997 - . Catalog of the Robber -Flies (Diptera: Asilidae) of the Nearctic Region. By E. M. Fisher and J. Wilcox (dec.). This draft, a preliminary version of a complete catalog for Nearctic Asilidae, contains a classification and listing of all described robber fly species found in the Nearctic Region (United States, Canada and northern Mexico). Included also are references to original descriptions and relevant taxonomic decisions, ' plus type locality and distribution for each Nearctic species. Not present here--but planned for the final version--are a bibliography for all references; an index to included taxa; general references to useful keys andlor revisionary studies for individual genera (or tribes or subfamilies); full introductory and explanatory information; and acknowledgements of contributors and reviewers. e The classification used is that published by Artigas & Papavero (1988 to present)--with a few minor exceptions. Although their classification scheme is still being developed (particularly with regard to the Asilinae s.l.), it is adopted here for two reasons: to provide a more uniform system of classification for New World Asilidae; and because it seems to be a distinct improvement over previous systems (for example, the classification used by Martin & Wilcox [I965; in Stone, et. al., "A Catalog of the Diptera-of America North of Mexico"]). It is obvious to many systematists that all available classifications of Asilidae are flawed (principally by general lack of rigorous phylogenetic analysis); and that it is to be expected that many changes will be made as a result of future studies.

He was educated for the medical profession and took his degree, but devoted himself to zoology, especially to entomology. For many years he was keeper of the entomological department of the Berlin Natural History Museum and also a professor of zoology at the University of Berlin. About the year 1876, differences with the then director of the Berlin Museum induced him to resign his appointment in Berlin, and he subsequently accepted the professorship of Zoology at Greifswald, which he held until his death. Gerstaecker was an industrious and thorough worker in all departments of entomology. Among his principal works may be noted the “Arthropoda” in the “Handbuch der Zoologie” (1863) and the same phylum in Bronn´s “Klassen und Ordnungen der Tierreichs”.

  • Collection Notes
    533 COLLECTION NOTES Much information on the depositories of entomological collectors and authors can be found in Horn et al. (1990) [for information up through the year 1960] and Gaedike (1995) [for information 1961–1994]. However, this information is by no means complete. It was decided by us to include brief biographical and collection information on selected authors and institutions below in order to supplement, correct, and synthesize that pro- vided elsewhere. A summary of the top twenty institutional and private collections (by number of types) housing bombyliid types is given in the table below. Table 1.

Bigot Collection Jacques Marie Frangile Bigot (1818–1893) was a French dipterist of independent means who, over the years, acquired a large collection of Diptera from various sources many of which were described by Macquart. Bigot’s collection was purchased after his death by G.H. Verrall and now resides in two major parts: a Palaearctic collection of Diptera in UMO; and an exotic (i.e., non-European) Diptera collection divided between UMO and BMNH (all “exotic” Bombyliidae are in BMNH). A complete inventory of the Bigot collection made by Verrall at the time of purchase exists in UMO. Bigot described 85 species-group names of Bombyliidae, of which 49 (58%) are currently considered tax- onomically valid.

The existence of two dif- tant ecological roles in nature. Adults are usually con- ferent morphotypes in specimens identified as Chrysotoxum vernale Loew (Diptera: Syrphidae) prompted their taxonomic spicuous flies that feed on pollen and nectar from a wide study using an integrative approach that included morphology, range of plants in numerous habitats (Rotheray and Gil- wing and male-surstylus geometric morphometrics, genetic and bert, 2011). In Europe, syrphids are one of the better ecological analyses. As a result, a new species is recognised, studied Diptera families. However, the taxonomy of Chrysotoxum montanum Nedeljković & Vujić sp. nov., and C. certain groups is still provisional and uncertain, such as vernale is re-defined.
