Marshall Coproica Rondani, 1861 (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae) is here redefined and the New World species revised on the basis of over 16,000 examined specimens. The genus is divides into three major clades. Eight new species (C bifurcata, C. bispatha, C. brachystyla, C. diabolica, C. emarginata, C. galapagos, C. novacula, and C. testudined) are described from the New World, and redescriptions are provided for 16 additional species. Included are two keys (one for the New World species and another to cover all species), reviews of all species in the genus, expanded New World distribution records, and illustrations of male and female genitalic structures.

Out of 36 states and UT’s in India, the family Sphaeroceridae is so far known only from 15 states and UT’s and maximum number of species reported from the state of West Bengal (26.98%). Among different biogeographic zones in India, the Indo-Gangetic Plains share maximum number of species (49.20%) whereas, Islands biogeographic zone has no record of these flies. The present communication is the first attempt in documenting the diversity, distribution and gaps in research of the family Sphaeroceridae from India.

Entomol.

A total of17 species were recorded from burrows ofrabbit and 9 fromthose offox. Spelobia talparum (Richards, 1927) and S. pseudonivalis (Dahl, 1909) are considered pholeobiont (= eucoenic) and Spelobia czizeki (Duda, 1918) pholeophilous to pholeobiont species in this habi- tat. Comparison ofthese two communities with those recorded fromother mam- mal subterraneous habitats in Europe revealed that most similar are those from the same locality irrespective ofthe host mammal species or the size ofthe bur- row. The species spectrum ofEuropean Sphaeroceridae recorded from mammal burrows is reviewed and discussed. Minilimosina (Minilimosina) speluncana sp. n. is described on males found in rabbit burrow and its relationship and habitat as- sociation are discussed. J.

Email: [email protected] (Received 3 December 2019; accepted 9 March 2020; first published online 27 April 2020) Abstract The identity, richness, and abundance of true flies (Diptera) from the nests of three cavity-nesting raptors (Aves) were investigated in northern Nova Scotia, Canada. After fledging, flies were extracted from the nest mate- rial using Berlese funnels within an emergence chamber. Thirty-one species/morphospecies from 14 families were collected, including eight new records for Nova Scotia and two new records for eastern North America. Introduction Bird nests are micro-ecosystems with diverse communities of invertebrates, from ectoparasites to commensal species. Most studies of the arthropods in bird nests have focussed on the presence and impact of ectoparasites (Møller et al. 1990; Loye and Zuk 1991; Krištofík et al. 2001, 2002, 2003, 2007; Fairn et al. 2014), including fleas (Siphonaptera) (Phipps and Bennett 1974); mites (Acari) (Wasylik 1971); and nest-associated Diptera in the families Muscidae (Lowenberg-Neto 2008), Calliphoridae (Bennett and Whitworth 1991; Whitworth and Bennett 1992), and Carnidae (Cannings 1986a, 1986b; Dawson and Bortolotti 1997).

  • Diptera: Sphaeroceridae: Limosininae), an Almost Entirely
    A review of the Archiceroptera Papp genus complex (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae: Limosininae) by Steven Mark Paiero A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Steven Mark Paiero, December, 2017 ABSTRACT: A review of the Archiceroptera Papp genus complex (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae: Limosininae) Steven Mark Paiero Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Dr. S.A. Marshall This thesis has two parts. The first part investigates the relationships between the Archiceroptera genus complex and other members of the Limosininae (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae). A focus is placed on the relationships within the larger epandrial process group, which contains Bitheca, Bromeloecia, Pterogramma, Aptilotella, and Robustagramma, along with Archiceroptera, Rudolfina and several previously unplaced species groups. Molecular and morphological data sets provide the first phylogeny of the group, and were used to support the inclusion of several unplaced species groups within Rudolfina and Archiceroptera, while one new genus is described. Pectinosina gen. nov. includes two species: P. prominens (Duda), previously placed in Rudolfina, and P. carro n. sp. The second part of the thesis deals with revisions of Archiceroptera Papp and Rudolfina Roháček. Rudolfina now includes 13 described species, nine of which are newly described here (R. bucki, R. exuberata, R. howdeni, R. megepandria, R. pauca, R. pilosa, R. newtoni, R. remiforma, and R. tumida). Archiceroptera now includes 29 species, of which 27 are newly described here (A. adamas, A. addenda, A. barberi, A. basilia, A. bilobata, A. bisetosus, A. braziliensis, A. brevivilla, A. browni, A. caliga, A. calligraphia, A. cobolorum, A.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Development and Genetic Regulation of the Novel Abdominal
    DEVELOPMENT AND GENETIC REGULATION OF THE NOVEL ABDOMINAL APPENDAGES IN THE MALE SEPSID FLY, THEMIRA BILOBA A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Bodini Jeevanthika Herath In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Major Program: Environmental & Conservation Sciences July 2013 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title DEVELOPMENT AND GENETIC REGULATION OF THE NOVEL ABDOMINAL APPENDAGES IN THE MALE SEPSID FLY, THEMIRA BILOBA By Bodini Jeevanthika Herath The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Dr. Julia Bowsher Chair Dr. Craig Stockwell Dr. Katie Reindl Dr. Stephen Foster Approved: 06.27.2013 Craig Stockwell Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Evolutionary novel structures do not have a known homology. They often provide a novel function to the organism. Some species of sepsid flies (family Sepsidae) have evolved novel abdominal appendages on the fourth segment in males and are thought to be used during mating, to stimulate the female abdomen. Controlled laboratory experiments were conducted to identify the necessity of these appendages in sepsid Themira biloba. Surgical manipulation of the bristle length of the appendages, specifically the manipulation of long bristles; prevented successful mating. In-situ hybridization was done to examine the expression of abdominal-A and Abdominal-B genes in sepsid T. biloba, and to determine whether their expression has deviated in forming the appendages. However, the expression domains of these genes are conserved in T.
