  • 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 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.

    The Hoverfly Fauna of the Berici Hills: an Area of Rich Biodiversity in North-Eastern Italy

    Bulletin of Insectology 70 (1): 101-110, 2017 ISSN 1721-8861 The hoverfly fauna of the Berici Hills: an area of rich biodiversity in north-eastern Italy Daniele SOMMAGGIO Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie - Entomologia, Università di Bologna, Italy Abstract The hoverfly community of the Berici Hills (Northern Italy) is compared with surrounding areas in order to evaluate the biodiver- sity conservation importance of this area. During the period 2009-2014 thirteen sites were sampled in the Berici Hills by means of Malaise traps, recording 143 species for this area. The syrphid list of species for the Berici Hills is compared with that in the sur- rounding areas by means of multivariate analysis; the biodiversity of the Berici Hills is set against that in the Po Plain using rare- faction and extrapolation curves. The species recorded in the Berici Hills included 52 not recorded from the adjacent areas, and in particular for the Po Plain. Several species are associated with Mediterranean habitats, in particular xeric grasslands, well repre- sented in the Berici Hills. Particularly interesting is the presence of several species expected for the Po Plain but probably extinct from this area. Despite its small area, the biodiversity of the Berici Hills is significantly higher than that of Po Plain. The sites of the Berici Hills are clearly separate from those of the Po Plain, underlining the peculiarity of the fauna of this area and its impor- tance for nature conservation. Key words: Syrphidae, biodiversity, Berici Hills, conservation. Introduction grassland (Falcucci et al., 2007). Such situation has fur- ther deteriorated by recent overbuilding: in the eastern Hoverflies (Diptera Syrphidae) are well-studied insects Po Plain more than 10% of the soil was used in 2015 to mainly thanks to their interesting biology (e.g.

Christopher Bergh (Committee Chair) Loke T. Kok Scott M. Salom 28 January 2013 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Eriosoma lanigerum, Heringia calcarata, Aphelinus mali, Intraguild predation, biological control, ovary development, captive rearing Ecological and logistical considerations toward introducing Heringia calcarata to New Zealand Sean D. M. Gresham Abstract This thesis outlines research conducted as part of a collaborative project between Virginia Tech and Plant and Food Research New Zealand (PFRNZ) to introduce Heringia calcarata (Loew) (Diptera: Syrphidae) to New Zealand (NZ) for biological control of woolly apple aphid (WAA), Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Ultimately, the introduction of H. calcarata to New Zealand will be contingent upon satisfying regulatory requirements and concerns, including documentation that it will not have an adverse effect on the existing biological control of WAA by Aphelinus mali (Haldeman) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae). As well, it will be critical to develop methods for sustained rearing of H. calcarata in captivity. Basic and applied studies were conducted toward providing essential information for advancing this project. Apple shoot sections with a WAA colony that did or did not contain mummified aphids parasitized by A. mali were deployed in pairs at the base of apple trees. There was no significant difference in the mean number of H. calcarata eggs deposited between shoots with parasitized (1.5 ± 0.34 SE) and non-parasitized colonies (1.75 ± 0.42 SE), although female H.

The syrphid flies are distributed worldwide, with the greatest species diversity in the New World tropics (MASETTI et al. 2006). Three subfamilies, Micro- dontinae, Milesiinae and Syrphinae, and 14 tribes are currently recognized in this family (THOMPSON & ROTHERAY 1998).

E-mail: thompsonf® si.edu Abstract A new subgenus [Allograpta {Costarica Mengual & Thompson), type Allograpta zumbadoi Thompson], and one new species [Allograpta {Costarica) nishida Mengual & Thompson; type-locality: Costa Rica, type-depository: Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad de Costa Rica] of flower flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are described from the Neotropical biotic region. A checklist of the world species of Allograpta including synonyms is provided, and a key to and diagnoses of the subgenera are also supplied. The phylogenetic relationships among Allograpta species, representing all hitherto detected morphological diversity of the genus, and related genera were studied under parsimony based on morphological characters.
