MCALPINE Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia ABSTRACT. The taxonomy of the forest-dwelling flies of the endemic Australian genus Pentachaeta McAlpine, 1985 (family Heleomyzidae or Heteromyzidae), is investigated, with particular reference to structure of the male genitalia. The number of described species is increased from one to ten. The following new species are described: Pentachaeta edwardsi, P. bickeli, P. inserta, P. bassiana, P. skusei, P. gilliesi, P. impar, P. kirkspriggsi, P. pinguis. MCALPINE, DAVID K. 2014.

    POLLINATION BIOLOGY OF ASAR UM HAR TWEGII (ARISTOLOCHIACEAE): AN EVALUATION OF VOGEL'S MUSHROOM-FLY HYPOTHESIS MICHAELR. MESLERand KARENL. LU Department of Biological Sciences, Humboldt State University, Arcata, CA 95521 Stefan Vogel proposed that flowers ofAsarum s.1. mimic the fruiting bodies of fungi and are pollinated by flies whose larvae feed on mushrooms. Contrary to this view, the flowers ofA. hartwegiz are predominantly autogamous in the Klamath Mountains of northern California. Seed set of bagged flowers in one large population was equiv- alent to that of unmanipulated controls while emasculated flowers set only about 3% as many seeds as controls. Circumstantial evidence suggests, however, that the vectors responsible for the limited amount of allogamy are mycophagous flies lured by de- ception. We found fly eggs in 38% of more than 1 100 flowers inspected over a four year period. The eggs belonged to 8 species in at least 4 families. The most abundant were laid by Su112ia thompsoni (Heleomyzidae), whose larvae are obligately mycopha- gous. Two of the other three flies we identified, Docosia sp. (Mycetophylidae) and Scaptomyza pallrda (Drosophilidae), also have mycophagous larvae while the larvae ofthe third species, Hylemya fugax (Anthomyiidae), normally feed on decaying plant material. Hatched eggs were common in the flowers, but we rarely saw larvae, implying that floral tissue is not a suitable larval substrate and that ovipositing females are attracted by deception. Evidence that the flies are pollinators comes from studies of emasculated flowers: those with eggs were more than three times as likely to set fruit Ias those without eggs. Vogel (1973, 1978) described a class of flowers that appear to chemically and structurally mimic the fruiting bodies of fungi and thereby attract flies, especially fungus gnats, who normally oviposit on mushrooms.

    Vol. 32 JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN MOSQUITO CONTROL ASSOCIATION 27 Invertebrates found in underground shelters of western Bohemia. I. Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) Libor Dvořák1 1 Municipal Museum Mariánské Lázně, Goethovo náměstí 11, CZ-35301 Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic Corresponding author: [email protected] First published online 19th December 2014 Abstract: Mosquitoes found hibernating in underground shelters were studied in western Bohemia, Czech Republic. Species collected included Culiseta alaskaensis, Cs. annulata, Cs. glaphyroptera, Culex spp., and Anopheles maculipennis s.l.. Culex spp. were the most common, followed by Cs. glaphyroptera and Cs. annulata with few records of Cs. alaskaensis and An. maculipennis s.l.. Culex spp. were found in a variety of shelters, An. maculipennis s.l. preferred cellars, and Cs. alaskaensis where they were found, exhibited little preference. Culiseta annulata and Cs. glaphyroptera were found in similar numbers of cellars, caves, and bunkers, but Cs. glaphyroptera were found more commonly in mines than Cs. annulata. Journal of the European Mosquito Control Association 32: 27-32, 2014 Keywords: Culicidae, Culiseta, Culex, Anopheles, hibernation, underground shelters, Czech Republic Introduction Mosquitoes found hibernating in underground shelters in the Czech Republic have only been studied in a few parts of the country. Although some previous data can be found in Pax & Maschke (1935) and Maschke (1936) from north-western Moravia, the first major study evaluating thousands of mosquitoes was published from south Moravia (Minář & Hájková, 1966). Other data has been published from northeast Bohemia (Kramář et al., 1967) and the Třeboň region (Rettich et al., 1978). A very detailed study on mosquitoes including hibernation habits was published by Minář (1975) from the Lipno reservoir area in southern Bohemia.

Príncipe de Asturias 30, ático 1; E-08012 Barcelona (España) 2 Museu de Zoologia; E-08080 Barcelona (España) Abstract: New data on 8 dipterans collected in caves are presented. Worthy of note is the capture of Eccoptomera sanmartini Czerny and Acantholeria vockerothi Hackman, as they are extremely rare species. Key words: Diptera, Heleomyzidae, Sphaeroceridae, caves, Spain. Algunos dípteros capturados en cuevas (Diptera: Heleomyzidae y Sphaeroceridae) Resumen: Se presentan datos nuevos de captura de 8 especies de dípteros capturados en cuevas. Cabe destacar las capturas de Eccoptomera sanmartini Czerny y Acantholeria vockerothi Hackman por ser especies extremadamente raras. Palabras clave: Diptera, Heleomyzidae, Sphaeroceridae, cuevas, España. During last decades one of us (OE) captured abundant entomologi- SPHAEROCERIDAE cal material in many caves in Spain, mainly in Catalonia. One of the most abundant groups were dipterans. The result of the examina- Crumomyia roserii (Rondani, 1880) & tion of a little sample of this material was published in CARLES- Huesca: Beranui, Cueva Celleret del Ramon, 31.iii.1997 1 , TOLRÁ (1990). Following the survey of this material the first author Escolà leg. (MCT) studied a little but very interesting sample of dipterans. Little Common species in caves. New species for Aragón. because the number of specimens is only of 24 but very interesting Crumomyia sp. because among the 8 species determined (belonging to the families Huesca: Tella-Sin, Cueva C-61, Escuaín massif, 6.viii.1991 – Heleomyzidae and Sphaeroceridae) two are extremely rare.

Kożuchowska 5b, 51-631, Wrocław, Poland Abstract: This article details the analysed results of the recent study on heleomyzid flies (Diptera: Heleomyzidae) that occurred in the caves of Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. Additionally, all accessible information about those flies from the Polish caves has been compiled. In effect, 23 species from seven genera were identified. Among these determined species, one was considered as troglobiont, eleven as eutroglophiles, nine as subtroglophiles, and two as trogloxenes. Dominant species were Scoliocentra brachypterna, Heleomyza captiosa, and Eccoptomera pallescens.

Key to Forensically Important Piophilidae (Diptera) in the Nearctic Region Sabrina Rochefort1, Marjolaine Giroux2, Jade Savage3 and Terry A.

The aims of this paper are to document the fauna of forensically relevant Piophilidae species worldwide and to present an updated checklist and identifi cation key to the Nearctic species, as existing keys are either outdated, too broad in geographical scope to be user-friendly, and/or contain ambiguous characters. Thirteen species are included in the checklist and key. Information on their biology, taxonomy, character variability, and distribution is provided, supplementing the extensive work of McAlpine (1977). Introduction stages (Martinez et al. 2006, Grisales et al. 2010). Forensic entomology is the use of insects and other Identifying species of forensic importance can arthropods as evidence in legal investigations (Catts sometimes be challenging when using morphological & Goff 1992). An important aspect of the discipline characters alone (Byrd & Castner 2001, Amendt et al. involves the estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) 2011) and alternatives such as DNA markers have been based on arthropods associated with a body, an approach developed to identify problematic specimens (Wells that requires extensive knowledge of the local fauna and & Stevens 2008).

  • THE FAMILY POSITION and ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTIVE DATA CONCERNING TENUIA NIGRIPES MALLOCH (Diptera: Pseudopomyzidae)
    Pacific Insects 12 (4) : 871-873 25 December 1970 THE FAMILY POSITION AND ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTIVE DATA CONCERNING TENUIA NIGRIPES MALLOCH (Diptera: Pseudopomyzidae) By George C. Steyskal1 Abstract: The genus Tenuia is placed in the family Pseudopomyzidae. Malloch (1926: 493) described the genus Tenuia and its single species T. nigripes (type by original designation) from a unique £ specimen from Baguio, Benguet Subprovince, Luzon, Philippines and placed it in the family Opomyzidae. In order to confirm its classification or to place it more accurately, I examined the holotype in the United States National Museum of Natural History with the following results. The original description is fairly lengthy and should be adequate for recognition of the species. However, the dorsal preapical tibial bristles, which Malloch characterized as "minute", are so small as to be equally well described as undeveloped, being no larger than surrounding setulae. The row of small bristles on the margin of the wing (fig. 4) are on the lower anterior surface of the costa, in a position similar to that of the species of Fucellia (Anthomyiidae), rather than more directly anterior, as in most Heleomyzidae (incl. Trixoscelididae). The mesopleuron (anepisternum) and pteropleuron (anepimeron) are entirely bare. The prosternum is small, bare, and isolated in membrane. The £ postabdomen (7th and following urites) are as shown in fig. 6 and 7; the ovi­ positor sheath consists of the 7th tergum and sternum well fused laterally, but with the line of fusion well marked by lighter sclerotization; the 6th (preabdominal) sternum is a small plate without apodemes (fig. 5). Additional structural details may be seen in fig.

The taxonomy and nomenclature of the family Sphaeroceridae (Dipte- ra: Acalyptratae) is reviewed in the context of a world catalog and bibliography covering the last decade (2000–2010). Bispinicerca Su & Liu, 2009, syn. nov., is synonymized with Opacifrons Duda, 1918 and the following new combinations are given: Opacifrons liupanensis (Su & Liu, 2009), comb. nov., Pseudopterogram- ma annectens (Richards, 1964), comb. nov., Pseudopterogramma brevivenosum (Tenorio, 1967), comb. nov., and Pseudopterogramma conicum (Richards, 1946), comb. nov. Thirty genera and 211 species were added to the family between 2000 and 2010, giving a current total of 141 genera and 1,550 species. A gallery with 32 macrophotographs is provided, depicting 32 species of 30 genera represen- ting 3 subfamilies of Sphaeroceridae. A world bibliography of Sphaeroceridae is supplemented with 306 references. Key words.
