中国科技论文在线 Species of the Genus Condylostylus from Vietnam 中国科技论文在线 http://www.paper.edu.cn Species of the genus Condylostylus from Vietnam (Diptera: Empidoidea, Dolichopodidae)# YANG Ding, LI Xuankun, LIU Xingyue** 5 (Department of Entomology, College of Agronomy and Biotechnology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193) Abstract: The following two species of the genus Condylostylus are reported from Vietnam for the first time: Condylostylus luteicoxa Parent and Condylostylus ornatipennis (De Meijere). A key to the species of the genus Condylostylus from Vietnam is presented. This genus is mainly distributed in the 10 tropical regions and characterized by the following features: 1 strong vt arising from distinct setose mound on frons; 2-3 pairs of long acr; both sexes with 4-5 strong dc; 2 pairs of strong sc; M1 strongly bent, nearly in right angle; hypandrium often short and broad, its lateral arm reduced or absent. Condylostylus luteicoxa is characterized by all coxae yellow except mid coxa with one black outer stripe, all femora yellow except extreme tips of hind femur blackish, mid tibia apically and tarsus 15 entirely with row of crocheted ad, and male cercus long strip-like. Condylostylus ornatipennis is characterized by all coxae black, all femora black except tips of fore and mid femora and extreme tip of hind femur, fore and hind femora with hair-like v longer than femur thickness, and male cercus long strip-like with thick base. Keywords: Entomology; Diptera; Empidoidea; Dolichopodidae; Condylostylus; Vietnam 20 0 Introduction Condylostylus Bigot is a large genus in the subfamily Sciapodinae with 262 known species worldwide, most of which are restricted in the Neotropical Region (Yang et al. 2006) [1]. The major references dealing with the Oriental species of Condylostylus are Becker (1922) [2], Bickel 25 (1994) [3], Yang (1995, 1998) [4, 5], Zhu and Yang (2007) [6], Yang et al. (2011) [7], and Wang et al. (2012) [8]. A key to Oriental and East Palaearctic species of Condylostylus was gave by Bickel (1994) [3], and the Chinese species of Condylostylus was reviewed by Yang et al. (2011) [7]. Six species of the genus Condylostylus were known to occur in Vietnam (Li et al., 2012) [9]. Here two species of the genus Condylostylus, Condylostylus luteicoxa Parent and Condylostylus 30 ornatipennis (De Meijere), are reported from Vietnam for the first time. These two species are also redescribed and reillustrated in details for the first time. A key to the species of the genus from Vietnam is provided for the convenience of the identification. 1 Material and Methods Specimen examined are deposited in the Entomological Museum of China Agricultural 35 University, Beijing (CAU). Terminology follows Bickel (1994) [3]. The following abbreviations are used: acr – acrostichal seta(e), d – dorsal seta(e), dc – dorsocentral seta(e), ih – inner humeral seta(e), LI – fore leg, LII – mid leg, LIII – hind leg, npl – notopleural seta(e), oc – ocellar seta(e), pd – posterodorsal seta(e), ph – posthumeral seta(e), psa – postalar seta(e), sa – supraalar seta(e), su – sutural seta(e), sc – scutellar seta(e), vt – vertical seta(e). 40 2 Taxonomy Genus Condylostylus Bigot, 1859 Condylostylus Bigot, 1859: 215.

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

  • Diptera: Dolichopodidae), with a Review of the Oriental and Australasian Faunas, and a World Conspectus of the Subfamily
    Records of the Australian Museum (1994) Supplement 21. ISBN 0 7310 4133 X 1 The Australian Sciapodinae (Diptera: Dolichopodidae), with a Review of the Oriental and Australasian Faunas, and a World Conspectus of the Subfamily DANIEL J. BICKEL Australian Museum, PO Box A285, Sydney South, NSW 2000, Australia Fax: (02) 360-4350 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The Sciapodinae (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) of Australia (including Lord Howe, Norfolk, Cocos-Keeling and Christmas Islands) are treated in detail, and 253 species, 208 newly described, are illustrated and keyed. All described Oriental and extralimital Australasian species are critically reviewed, with notes on diagnostic characters, distribution and generic placement, along with many new combinations ancl synonymies and some keys. Further, the taxonomy of the subfamily is considered at world level, with redefinition and rearrangement of genera and nomenclatural changes for taxa from all regions. The systematic position of the subfamily is discussed and a preliminary phylogenetic analysis presented. The biogeography and natural history of the Australian fauna are treated in detail. Nine new genera are erected, Dytomyia, Negrobovia, Narrabeenia, Abbemyia, Pseudoparentia and Pilbara from Australasia, Mascaromyia and Ethiosciapus from the Afrotropical Region, and Amesorhaga from the Orient. Genera incorrectly referred to the Sciapodinae are discussed. The Sciapodinae show extensive parallel evolution, and almost all diagnostic generic-level characters have evolved independently many times. Historically, this has led to uncertain generic limits and a complicated nomenclatural history. Genera are redefined on a polythetic basis, no character in isolation necessarily being diagnostic for all members. Male secondary sexual characters (MSSC) are reviewed. In some species the female phenotype shows weakened expression of MSSC.

Keywords: Checklist, Oriental, Taxonomy, Biodiversity, Inventory, India diptera. I. Introduction The family Dolichopodidae, commonly known as Long legged flies, are one of the most diverse families of Diptera (Grichanov,1999). Adult dolichopodids vary in size from about 1-9 mm in length and can be recognized by their elongate legs, reduced wing venation, aristate antennae, and relatively slender build. Most species are metallic greenish-blue to greenish-bronze, while some others are non-metallic yellowish (e.g., some species of Achalcus Loew, Argyrochlamys Lamb, Neurigona Rondani, Xanthochlorus Loew and Xanthina Aldrich), or brown to blackish (e.g., several species of Micromorphus Mik and Medetera Fischer von Waldheim). Dolichopodids are widespread and are found in all zoogeographic regions (Robinson,1970; Dyte, 1975; Dyte and Smith ,1980; Bickel and Dyte, 1989; Negrobov, 1991; Pollet et al., 2004). In general, adults and larvae prefer moist environments including stream and lake margins, humid forests, saltmarshes, seashores, and freshwater seepages, where they often occur in large numbers.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.
