  • Biology and Immature Stages of the Clam-Killing Fly, Renocerapallida
    Eur. J.Entomol. 100: 143-151, 2003 ISSN 1210-5759 Biology and immature stages of the clam-killingRenocerapallida fly, (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) Jana HORSÁKOVÁ Department of Zoology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Kotlářská 2,611 37 Brno, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Sciomyzidae, Renocerapallida, clam-killing fly, rearing, life-cycle, egg, larva, puparium, morphology Abstract. The larva of the Palaearctic Renocera pallida (Fallen, 1820) is confirmed as a predator of small species of bivalve mol­ luscs of the family Sphaeriidae. To date only the larvae of three Nearctic Renocera species (and larvae of two other species of Scio­ myzidae in two genera) are known to have the same food preference. The life cycle, biology, larval feeding and behaviour are described for the first time and compared with that of the Nearctic Renocera. The systematic position and biology of Renocera in general are discussed. Descriptions of the egg, second and third larval instars and the puparium of R. pallida are presented, the main features of the egg and larvae are illustrated by scanning electron micrographs. INTRODUCTION T. valida Loew, 1862 in North America (Trelka & Foote, Since the first modern publication on the biology of 1970); T. data (Fabricius, 1781) and perhaps also larvae of Sciomyzidae by Berg (1953), the natural food Euthycera chaerophylli (Fabricius, 1798) in the and life cycles of about 200 species have been Palaearctic (Knutson et al., 1965) are specialized determined. Almost all the larvae reared are predators or parasitoids/predators on various slugs. Apparently only parasitoids of terrestrial or aquatic gastropods, or con­ the primitive Salticella fasciata (Meigen, 1830), is able to sume snail eggs.

TRITON No 18 September 2008 LARVA OF THE SCIOMYZID FLY PHERBELLIA ALBOVARIA PREYS ON THE LAND SNAIL ANGUISPIRA FERGUSONI Aydın Örstan*) Abstract: The land snail Anguispira fergusoni is a newly recorded prey for the parasitoid larva of the sciomyzid fly Pherbellia albovaria. Key words: Mollusc, gastropod, insect, predation, North America During a field trip in a public park in Montgomery County, Maryland, USA on 24 May 2008, I collected 6 empty land snail shells. The shells were kept in a sealed plastic bag until 15 June 2008, when I found a dead fly inside the bag. The fly was about 7.5 mm long from the front of its head to the tips of its wings and had markings on its wings (Fig. 1A). Lloyd V. Knutson identified the fly from its photograph as Pherbellia albovaria (Coquillett) (Diptera: Sciomyzidae). The examination of all the shells from the field trip revealed that one Anguispira fergusoni (Bland) (Pulmonata: Discidae) shell had a dark object in its penultimate whorl that was about a half a whorl long (Fig.

  • Fauna and Bioecology of Snail-Killing Flies (Diptera Sciomyzidae) in the Central Black Soil Region of Russia
    УДК 595.773.4 FAUNA AND BIOECOLOGY OF SNAIL-KILLING FLIES (DIPTERA SCIOMYZIDAE) IN THE CENTRAL BLACK SOIL REGION OF RUSSIA S. P. Gaponov Voronezh State University Поступила в редакцию 11.01.2016 г. Аннотация. В результате изучения фауны сциомизид в Центральном Черноземье выявлено 54 вида из 21 рода. 12 видов указывается впервые для региона. Исследованы некоторые особенности биологии сциомизид региона и новые хозяева (жертвы) из числа моллюсков. Ключевые слова: сциомизиды, фауны, хозяева, фенология, Центральное Черноземье Abstract. Fauna of the snail-killing flies in the Central Black soil Region includes 54 species from 21 genera; 15 species have been found in the region for the first time. some peculiarities of biology of the sciomyzidae and their relations with molluscs have been studied Keywords: snail-killing flies, fauna, phenology, Central Black soil Region Family sciomyzidae (snail-killing flies) with coastal vegetation, seasonal ponds, puddles, and contains about 600 species, of which 100-110 can ditches (Anticheta, Ilione albiseta, Renocera, some be found in Russia. Currently, the family includes Pherbellia, Tetanocera). Larvae of aquatic species of subfamilies salticellinae and sciomyzinae (tribae genera Sepedon, Hydromya, Dictya, Dictyodes, Ilione, sciomizini, Tetanocerini) [1]. Larvae of snail-killing Pherbellia, Hoplodictya, Neolimnia Dichetophora, flies are predators or parasitoids of molluscs; Sepe- Elgiva, Limnia, Pherbina, Psacadina and some don knutsoni and Sepedonella nana use freshwater Tetanocera [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19] oligochaetes for their larval development [1]. species are usually predators and attack aquatic nonoperculate whose larvae attack aquatic molluscs are usually pulmonate snails slightly submerged in shallow and predators feeding on several prey [1, 2, 3].

  • Epigaeic Diptera Brachycera from the Coastal Sand Dunes of National Park Thy, Denmark Epigæiske Fluer (Diptera Brachycera) Fra Klitterne I Nationalpark Thy
    Epigaeic Diptera Brachycera from the coastal sand dunes of National Park Thy, Denmark Epigæiske fluer (Diptera Brachycera) fra klitterne i Nationalpark Thy Boy Overgaard Nielsen1*, Lise Brunberg Nielsen1 & Søren Toft1 1Genetics, Ecology and Evolution, Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Ny Munkegade 114- 116, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract In 2013-2014 flies (Diptera Brachycera exclusive Calyptratae) active on the sand surface (epigaeic) were collected in pitfall traps in yellow and grey coastal sand dunes in National Park Thy, Denmark. A total of 15,670 flies of 227 species representing 31 families were captured. Sphaeroceridae, Dolichopodidae, and Chloropidae were particularly species- rich, contributing 61, 30 and 25 species, respectively. Twenty species were new to the Danish fauna (Appendix). Phoridae made up c. 40% of the flies captured, while Dolichopodidae and Chloropidae contributed c. 14% and c. 9% of the total catch. The species collected in yellow and grey dunes were ranked according to frequency. The ten most frequent species in yellow and grey dunes contributed c. 73% and c. 87% of the total fauna, respectively. Several species captured were few in number, e.g. 51 species and 46 species trapped in yellow and grey dunes, respectively, were singletons. The species composition and number of flies recorded from the two types of dune differed distinctly. The difference is further underlined by the indices of similarity (QS, Sørensen). The highest similarities were found between sites situated within yellow dunes or grey dunes, whereas the similarities between all combinations of sites in yellow and grey dunes were lower.
