A Revision of Afrotropical Species of the Eupyrgota (Diptera, Pyrgotidae): the varipennis and melancho- lica Subgroups of Species. Korneyev V. A. — Based on the study of the type specimens described by C. Curran, E. Brunetti, G. Enderlein and P. Vanschuytbroeck and exhaustive material from many entomological collections, the species of the varipennis and melancholica subgroups of Eupyrgota Coquillett are redescribed and a key to all the species occurring in the Afrotropical Region and Arabian Peninsula is provided. Eupyrgota echinata Korneyev, sp. n. from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda and Eupyrgota crassipes Korneyev, sp. n. from the Democratic Republic of Congo are described. The following synonymy is established. Eupyrgota Coquillett, 1898 = Peltodasia Enderlein, 1942, syn. n. The following species are transferred to Eupyrgota: E. varipennis (Curran, 1928), comb. n., from Campylocera Macquart; and E. vespiformis (Enderlein, 1942), comb. n. from Peltodasia Enderlein. E. rugosigenis Hendel is resurrected from synonymy. The host species of Eupyrgota latipennis Walker is recorded for the first time: the adult beetle Pachnoda interrupta Olivier (Coleoptera, Cetoniidae). This is the first host record for any representative of the genus Eupyrgota and for any Afrotropical pyrgotids. Key words: Diptera, Cyclorrhapha, Tephritoidea, Pyrgotidae, Eupyrgota, Afrotropical Region, fauna, taxonomy, new taxa, synonymy. This paper is the conclusion of revision of Afrotropical Eupyrgota (Korneyev, 2006). It contains also some additional data on the species omitted in the previous paper, including designation of lectotype of Adap- silia rugosigenis Hendel from Uganda, and resurrection of E. rugosigenis from synonymy based on this name- bearing specimen. 116 V. A. Korneyev Material. The list of abbreviations of the depositaries mentioned in this paper is given in the first part of this paper (Korneyev, 2006), except SMWN — the State Museum of Namibia, Windhoek. Copyrights of the pictures of specimens deposited in the BMNH used in this paper belong to the Natural History Museum, London. Eupyrgota Coquillett, 1898 Type species: Eupyrgota luteola Coquillett, 1898, by original designation. Peltodasia Enderlein, 1942, syn. n. Type species: Peltodasia vespiformis Enderlein, 1942, by original designation. Taxonomy. Enderlein (1942) established the separate monotypic genus Pelto- dasia, but this study shows that it is closely related to E. melancholica in all essential features, and that name therefore is synonymized with Eupyrgota. Peltodasia mageraen- sis Vanschuytbroeck, the second species assigned to that genus, is similar to species of Siridapha Enderlein and belongs either to that genus or elsewhere (Korneyev, in prep.). latipennis group of species varipennis subgroup Diagnosis. Parafacial subshining to shining, with more or less distinct wrinkles and sometimes also pits. Supraclypeal sclerite smooth, low, 0.8–0.9 times as high as width of antennal groove. Wing pale brown, with subapical brown spot and hyaline cell bm and base of cell dm (fig. 1, 2; 2, 3).

C. H. Curran [white label w/ black frame]” (AMNH). Diagnosis. Superficially resembles E. caffra in robust and dark body, differing by wide gena, waxy shining parafacial (also in E. rugosigenis); with E. rugosigenis also shares very similar shape of phallus glans and differing from that species by longer setae and almost smooth parafacial and elongate oval compound eye. Redescription. Head reddish yellow, with brownish frons and postgenae; frons twice (at vertex) and 2.5 times as wide as eye (at lunula level), conspicuously broadened anteriorly; eye narrow oval (eye ratio 0.5); genal-eye ratio 0.36; first flagellomere-pedi- cel ratio 1.2; medial vertical seta 0.23 times as long as longest (vertical) diameter of eye; lateral vertical seta 0.25 times as long as medial vertical seta; postocellar setae (2 pairs) 0.5 times as long as medial vertical seta; ocellar setae (3 pairs) 0.8 times as long as medial vertical seta; orbital seta 0.3 times as long as medial vertical seta, indistinguish- able from surrounding setulae. Fronto-orbital plates and parafacial wide, shining yellow (at eye margin) to brown, with one shallow wrinkle at level of base of antenna. Antennal groove subshining black. Epiclypeal sclerite 0.2 times as high as facial carina. Mesonotum mostly brown to black, with black setae and brownish setulae; scutel- lum yellow, with one pair of black apical setae as long as scutellum. Wing brown in anterior half, yellowish or pale brown in posterior half and between R1 and stump vein in anterior half, with hyaline bd and d cells, with distinct subapical spot.

Abdomen and male terminalia not dissected; phallus glans as in fig. 1, 9–10, with almost symmetrical preputium, dentate sclerite ventral to gonopore and left flap not appressed to glans; apical lobe slightly sclerotized, almost symmetrical. Wing length: male 10.0 mm. Female unknown. Remarks. This species can be recognized from the combination of wide head, narrow oval eyes, shining, almost smooth parafacial with mostly dark colored body and wing. The glans of the phallus does not differ from that in E. rugosigenis. The two species are obviously closely related, but differ mainly in head shape and eye and genal- eye ratio; in addition, E. varipennis has conspicuously longer setae on the head and tho- rax. It also differs from other species of the latipennis group by having only one pair of scutellar setae, but the range of variability is not clear for this character, as the holo- type is the only known specimen. 118 V.

  • Insecta: Diptera: Tephritoidea)
    Korean J. Syst. Zool. Vol. 25, No. 1: 65-80, March 2009 Taxonomic Review of the Korean Pyrgotidae (Insecta: Diptera: Tephritoidea) Sam-Kyu Kim1 and Ho-Yeon Han2,* 1Department of Applied Biology, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 200-701, Korea 2Division of Biological Science and Technology, Yonsei University, Wonju 220-710, Korea ABSTRACT Pyrgotidae is a small acalyptrate family including about 370 species worldwide and little attention has been given to their systematics until recently. Latest changes in taxonomic status of some of the Korean species made this review inevitable. In the present study, the Korean pyrgotid species are reviewed with discussion of their taxonomic status. We also provide a revised key to all 14 Korean species (seven Adapsilia, three Eupyrgota, two Parageloemyia, one Porpomastix, and one Tephritopyrgota species) supplemented by digital images to facilitate accurate identification. Key words: endoparasitoid, nocturnal, pyrgotid fly, Palaearctic, taxonomy INTRODUCTION (=Dicranostira). Korneyev (2004) also synonymized some species treated by Kim and Han (2000, 2001). The family Pyrgotidae includes typically pictured wing flies In the present study, we reviewed the Korean pyrgotid with larvae feeding in adult scarab beetles as endoparasi- species based on Korneyev’s studies (2004, 2007) and dis- toids. They are mainly nocturnal as their host insects do, cussed their taxonomic status. We also provide a revised and little is known about their ecology, behavior, and host key to all 14 Korean pyrgotid species supplemented by relationships. About 370 nominal species in 55 genera of high-resolution digital images of both sexes to facilitate the pyrgotid flies have been recorded worldwide, predominant- accurate identification.

  • Flies) Benjamin Kongyeli Badii
    Chapter Phylogeny and Functional Morphology of Diptera (Flies) Benjamin Kongyeli Badii Abstract The order Diptera includes all true flies. Members of this order are the most ecologically diverse and probably have a greater economic impact on humans than any other group of insects. The application of explicit methods of phylogenetic and morphological analysis has revealed weaknesses in the traditional classification of dipteran insects, but little progress has been made to achieve a robust, stable clas- sification that reflects evolutionary relationships and morphological adaptations for a more precise understanding of their developmental biology and behavioral ecol- ogy. The current status of Diptera phylogenetics is reviewed in this chapter. Also, key aspects of the morphology of the different life stages of the flies, particularly characters useful for taxonomic purposes and for an understanding of the group’s biology have been described with an emphasis on newer contributions and progress in understanding this important group of insects. Keywords: Tephritoidea, Diptera flies, Nematocera, Brachycera metamorphosis, larva 1. Introduction Phylogeny refers to the evolutionary history of a taxonomic group of organisms. Phylogeny is essential in understanding the biodiversity, genetics, evolution, and ecology among groups of organisms [1, 2]. Functional morphology involves the study of the relationships between the structure of an organism and the function of the various parts of an organism. The old adage “form follows function” is a guiding principle of functional morphology. It helps in understanding the ways in which body structures can be used to produce a wide variety of different behaviors, including moving, feeding, fighting, and reproducing. It thus, integrates concepts from physiology, evolution, anatomy and development, and synthesizes the diverse ways that biological and physical factors interact in the lives of organisms [3].

  • F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera
    F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation.

  • What Is a Parasitoid? a Parasitoid Is Like a Parasite in That They Slowly Feed on Their Host, but Differ in That They Kill It in the End
    Death from within: Parasitoids Parasitoids are important Text & photos © 2012 by Jason J. Dombroskie, Senior Extension Associate, Dept. of Entomology, Cornell University Parasitoids are common in natural environments and can be very important in controlling insect pests. What is a parasitoid? A parasitoid is like a parasite in that they slowly feed on their host, but differ in that they kill it in the end. Thousands of species of tiny wasps parasitize pests, like this aphelinid wasp on scale insects (left) and this braconid wasp on Gypsy Moth eggs (right). Ant-decapitating flies (Phoridae) lay an egg on the head of an ant. The egg hatches into a maggot that feeds within the ant head, and when it is done feeding, the head of the ant falls off. Braconid wasp larvae often feed in large numbers in a caterpillar, but are typically not noticed until they exit to pupate. On left, doomed caterpillar covered in wasp cocoons, on right a dead caterpillar with wasp exit holes. Some parasitoids can be bizarre looking. On the left is a snail-killing fly (Tetanocera sp.: Sciomyzidae) and on the right is a pyrgotid fly (Pyrgota sp.: Pyrgotidae) that parasitizes scarab beetles. Other braconids leave an empty shell of their host when finished feeding. Above is a caterpillar mummy caused by a rogadine braconid and an aphid mummy caused by an aphidiine braconid. Tachinid flies (Tachinidae) like this Epalpus signifier (left) and Gonia sp. (right) can be very important in controlling caterpillar populations Ichneumonid wasps are diverse and common parasitoids of a broad variety of insects.

Pyrgotidae is a small family of Tephritoidea The immature stages of Pyrgotinae are inter- (Diptera) with worldwide distribution (Kim & Han, nal abdominal parasites of adult Scarabaeidae 2009). The family is composed by ca. 365 species (Coleoptera), and the adults are nocturnal (Mello, in about 55 genera (Korneyev, 2006). According 2017). The only known biological record for a to Mello & Lamas (2016), the Neotropical fauna of South American pyrgotid was presented by Mello Pyrgotidae is represented by 59 species in 13 gen- et al.
