The known gall midge fauna of Iran is composed of 61 species belonging to 33 genera. Thirty six species were recorded for the first time in northern Iran during investigations in the years 2007–2014. The two most species rich genera are Dasineura Rondani, 1840 with eight species and Stefaniola Kieffer, 1913 with six species. Most species are phytophagous and cause galls on various host plants; but Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani, 1847), Diadiplosis sp., Dicrodiplosis manihoti Harris, 1981, Endaphis perfida(Kieffer, 1896), Feltiella acarisuga (Vallot, 1827), Lestodiplosis heterobiae Barnes, 1928 and Lestodiplosis sp. are zoophagous; and Camptodiplosis boleti Kieffer, 1901, Clinodiplosis cilicrus (Kieffer, 1889), Mycodiplosis plasmoparae Rübsaamen, 1906, Asynapta phragmitis Giraud, 1863, Campylomyza flavipes Meigen, 1818, and Micromya lucorum Rondani, 1840, are mycophagous. An annotated list of all species of gall midges and a list of host plants and associated with gall midges are given. Phytophagous species of gall midges are associated with 50 plant species which belong to fifteen plant families; 15 species are associated with Chenopodiaceae, eight species with Salicaceae and seven species with Asteraceae.

  • Gall Midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) of South Tyrol (Italy) - Summary of Results and Zoogeographical Analysis
    Gredleriana Vol. 10 / 2010 pp. 275 - 324 Gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) of South Tyrol (Italy) - summary of results and zoogeographical analysis Gallmücken (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) Südtirols – zusammenfassende Resultate und zoogeographische Analyse Marcela Skuhravá and Václav Skuhravý Abstract At present the gall midge fauna of South Tyrol includes 311 species in 68 genera. A total of 271 species are valid and 40 species, still undescribed, are identified to the generic level. Investigations were carried out at 124 localities at altitides from 250 m a.s.l. at Salurn to 2581 m a.s.l. at Schaubachhütte in the Ortler Range during the period 1999-2009. Zoogeographical analysis is based on 2150 records, of which 200 were obtained by earlier researchers and 1950 records of the present authors. Until 1996 only 24 species were known to occur in South Tyrol. We enriched the faunal list of South Tyrol by adding 287 species and the faunal list of Italy by 114 species. A list of gall midge species and a list of host plants attacked by gall midges are given. Diversity ranged from 3 to 36 species at a single locality. On average we determined 15 species to occur per locality in South Tyrol. Species number declines with increasing elevation. Density is high at 189 species per 1000 km2. South Tyrol is one of the best explored areas of the world for galls of Cecidomyiidae. Frequency of occurrence: 49 % species occur very rarely, 21 % rarely, 17 % moderately frequently, 9 % frequently, 4 % very frequently. Iteomyia capreae is the most frequently recorded species in South Tyrol.

  • Vertical Distribution and Comparative Zoogeographical
    Published online 29 December 2017 Historia naturalis bulgarica • ISSN 0205-3640 (print) | ISSN 2603-3186 (online) • http://www.nmnhs.com/historia-naturalis-bulgarica/ Historia naturalis bulgarica, 24: 61-119, 2017 Vertical distribution and comparative zoogeographical characteristic of dipteran fauna (Insecta: Diptera) according to the vegetation belts of the Pirin and Rila Mountains Zdravko Hubenov Abstract: A total of 1351 species from 63 families (759 species from the Pirin Mts. and 1003 species from the Rila Mts.) have been recorded from the two mountains so far. The low degree of similarity (46.2%) of the fauna between these mountains is related to their natural features and insufficient research. The greatest number of species has been found in the zone of the beech forests (409 species or 55.1% from Pirin Mts. and 736 species or 73.4% from the Rila Mts.). The degree of similarity between the dipteran fauna of the different vegetation belts of the two mountains ranges from 0% to 46.6%. The dipterans belong to 92 areographical categories, divided into two supergroups: 1) species with Mediterranean type of distribution: more thermophilic and distributed mainly in the southern parts of the Palaearctic (49 species or 6.5% from Pirin Mts. and 48 species or 4.8% from the Rila Mts.); 2) species with Palaearctic and Eurosiberian type of distribution: more eurybiontic and widely distributed in the Palaearctic (710 species or 93.5% from Pirin Mts. and 955 species or 95.2% from the Rila Mts.). The Holomediterranean and Mediterranean-Central Asian forms (from 0.6% to 1.3%) are the best represented in the first group.

  • Muntjac Winter 2011
    Muntjac Winter 2011 How many lives does a Polecat have? Well, one Bedfordshire Polecat seems to have been given a second one, anyway. The creature was spotted by Bob Henry and Rory Morrisey as they were driving through Woburn on their way to see the reported waxwings. Rory’s wife Doreen had missed the polecat so the trio turned around to go have a better look. Just as they arrived, however, the polecat dashed into the road where it was clipped by a car. The trio nudged it onto the verge and could see right away that the animal was injured. The Morriseys took the polecat to Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Haddenham, Aylesbury. This specialised facility treats over 10,000 injured wild animals every year. Update December 6: The polecat is alive and being treated with antibiotics. Tiggywinkles staff say it has suffered a head trauma, probably a fractured skull, as well as a damaged eye. It is eating and if it survives will likely not be able to return to the wild because of its eye injury. I’m sure the polecat would wish to thank the Morriseys for the rescue! Thank you to Bob Henry for sending in this great story. We’ll publish updates on the polecat if and as we receive them so watch this space!
