  • Remarkable Aquatic Predators in the Genus Ocyptamus (Diptera, Syrphidae)
    ROTHERAY et al.: 385-389 Studia dipterologica 7 (2000) Heft 2 • ISSN 0945-3954 Remarkable aquatic predators in the genus Ocyptamus (Diptera, Syrphidae) [Bemerkenswerte aquatische Pradatoren in der Gattung Ocyptamus (Diptera, Syrphidae)] by Graham E. ROTHERAY, Manuel ZUMBADO, E. Geoffrey HANCOCK and F. Christian THOMPSON Edinburgh (United Kingdom) Santo Domingo (Costa Rica) Glasgow (United Kingdom) Washington (USA) Abstract Third-stage larvae, puparia and adults are described for two species of Ocyptamus MACQUART and new synonyms are proposed. The larvae were found in water pockets within epiphytic Bromeliaceae in Costa Rica. They attacked a wide taxonomic range of insect larvae that char- acteristically co-occur in these phytotelmata, apparently subduing prey with venom and suck- ing out the internal contents. They possess a number of morphological and behavioural fea- tures not known in other predatory syrphids. These features include an enlarged and flattened anal end bearing a sucker, elongate posterior breathing tubes with vertically inclined spiracu- lar plates, and patches of needle-like spicules on the underside of the thorax. Although only two species were reared, larvae of 6 other species were discovered, which suggest that many more species occur in bromeliads. Key words Predator, phytotelmata, bromeliads, anal sucker, venom Zusammenfassung Von zwei Arten der Gattung Ocyptamus MACQUART werden die dritten Larvenstadien, die Puparien und die Imagines beschrieben und charakterisiert sowie neue Synonyme festgelegt. Die Larven wurden in Phytothelmata von epiphytischen Bromelien in Kostarika gefunden. Sie attackieren ein weites Spektrum von Insektenlarven, die hier gemeinsam mit den Syrphiden- larven leben. Offensichtlich lahmen sie die Beute mittels eines Giftes und saugen dann den deren Korperinhalt aus.

  • HOVERFLY NEWSLETTER Dipterists
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 41 NEWSLETTER SPRING 2006 Dipterists Forum ISSN 1358-5029 As a new season begins, no doubt we are all hoping for a more productive recording year than we have had in the last three or so. Despite the frustration of recent seasons it is clear that national and international study of hoverflies is in good health, as witnessed by the success of the Leiden symposium and the Recording Scheme’s report (though the conundrum of the decline in UK records of difficult species is mystifying). New readers may wonder why the list of literature references from page 15 onwards covers publications for the year 2000 only. The reason for this is that for several issues nobody was available to compile these lists. Roger Morris kindly agreed to take on this task and to catch up for the missing years. Each newsletter for the present will include a list covering one complete year of the backlog, and since there are two newsletters per year the backlog will gradually be eliminated. Once again I thank all contributors and I welcome articles for future newsletters; these may be sent as email attachments, typed hard copy, manuscript or even dictated by phone, if you wish. Please do not forget the “Interesting Recent Records” feature, which is rather sparse in this issue. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 42 (which is expected to be issued with the Autumn 2006 Dipterists Forum Bulletin) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, (telephone 01242 674398), email: [email protected], to reach me by 20 June 2006.

  • Zootaxa, Immature Stages and Redescription of Lejops Barbiellinii
    Zootaxa 1830: 37–46 (2008) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2008 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Immature stages and redescription of Lejops barbiellinii (Ceresa) (Diptera, Syrphidae) found in bromeliads in Brazil MÍRIAN NUNES MORALES1 & LUCIANE MARINONI2 Department of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Caixa Postal 19020, 81531-980, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract A new combination is proposed: Habromyia barbiellinii (Hull 1946) = Lejops barbiellinii (Ceresa 1934). Third-stage lar- vae and puparia of Lejops barbiellinii are described and the adult male redescribed. The larvae were found in phytotel- mata of terrestrial Bromeliaceae in Parque Estadual do Rio da Onça, Matinhos, Paraná, Brazil. Key words. Bromeliads, description, early stages, phytotelmata, taxonomy, Neotropical Introduction Some Syrphidae immature stages have been recorded occurring in phytotelmata of bromeliads but few could be identified to species and related to the adults. Phytotelmata is a wide term for plant container habitat which includes bromeliads (Frank 1983, Kitching 2000). Bromeliads are angiosperms belonging to the family Bro- meliaceae and can occur on the ground as terrestrial plants, but are mostly known as epiphytes in the rainfor- est (Kitching 2000). Some researchers have focused their studies on Syrphidae from the phytotelmata of bromeliads and have described new species from the Neotropical Region but the Brazilian Syrphidae fauna remain completely unknown. Rotheray et al. (2000) described two species of Ocyptamus Macquart in bromeliads in Costa Rica: O. luctuosus (Bigot) and O. wulpianus (Lynch Arribálzaga). This two species were found feeding on larvae of other aquatic invertebrates.

As usual, I thank everyone for sending in such interesting articles. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Please let me encourage all of you to consider contributing articles that may be of interest to the Diptera community for the next issue. Fly Times offers a great forum to report on your research activities and to make requests for taxa being studied, as well as to report interesting observations about flies, to discuss new and improved methods, to advertise opportunities for dipterists, to report on or announce meetings relevant to the community, etc., with all the associated digital images you wish to provide. This is also a great place to report on your interesting (and hopefully fruitful) collecting activities! Really anything fly-related is considered. And of course, thanks very much to Chris Borkent for again assembling the list of Diptera citations since the last Fly Times! The electronic version of the Fly Times continues to be hosted on the North American Dipterists Society website at http://www.nadsdiptera.org/News/FlyTimes/Flyhome.htm. For this issue, I want to again thank all the contributors for sending me such great articles! Feel free to share your opinions or provide ideas on how to improve the newsletter.

Proponente: Angela Maria Echeverry Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Luciane Marinoni Janeiro de 2020 Curitiba Inserido ao protocolo 17.127.562-8 por: Luciane Marinoni em: 27/11/2020 11:48. 11 6 1. Introdução Plantas da família Bromeliaceae são comuns em florestas úmidas, como na Mata Atlântica, onde se apresentam como uma das famílias de epífitas com maior riqueza de espécies. A bromélias são constituídas de raiz firme, caule pequeno e densamente coberto com folhas, formando uma roseta ou tufo; esta disposição, em muitos casos, forma um pequeno receptáculo ou tanque (Reitz 1983; Souza & Lourenzi 2008) que permitem a retenção de água e matéria orgânica nos imbricamentos das folhas, proporcionando um ambiente aquático rico em detritos que funciona como nicho a uma variedade de invertebrados, principalmente artrópodes (Benzing 1980; Frank & O’Meara 1984). Dentre as ordens de insetos encontrados em fitotelmata, os Diptera se destacam, pois várias espécies parecem dever sua alta radiação à sua associação com bromélias, incluindo várias linhagens de Syrphidae, e.g., Ocyptamus Macquart, Quichuana Knab e Copestylum Macquart (Guimarães & Amorim 2006). Os representantes da família Syrphidae, também conhecidos como moscas-das-flores, compõem um grupo grande e taxonômicamente diverso de Diptera, sendo encontrados em uma ampla variedade de habitats (Weems 1953), ocorrendo tanto em ambientes urbanos quanto rurais.

The need to obtain this sort of information is particularly important in indigenous reserves in the Brazilian
