  • A New Brachypterous Species of Elachiptera Becker (Diptera: Chloropidae) from Freshwater Wetlands in Eastern Canada
    Zootaxa 360: 1–6 (2003) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 360 Copyright © 2003 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A new brachypterous species of Elachiptera Becker (Diptera: Chloropidae) from freshwater wetlands in eastern Canada TERRY A. WHEELER Department of Natural Resource Sciences, McGill University, Macdonald Campus, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC, H9X 3V9 CANADA ([email protected]) Abstract Elachiptera aquila sp. nov. is described from freshwater wetlands in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. Its apparent sister species is Elachiptera salinaria Sabrosky and Valley, known from coastal salt marshes in the eastern United States. Although there are Palearctic Elachiptera that are polymor- phic for wing length, this is the first brachypterous species of the genus described from North America. Key Words: Chloropidae, Diptera, Elachiptera, Nearctic, brachypterous, systematics Introduction Elachiptera Becker is one of the more easily recognized genera of Nearctic Chloropidae, primarily because of the broad, strap-like arista that characterizes most included species. Below the generic level, however, many species of Elachiptera are morphologically uni- form. One of the exceptions is Elachiptera salinaria Sabrosky and Valley, a salt marsh species from the eastern United States that can be easily distinguished from other Nearctic Elachiptera species by the broadly rounded occipital margin of the head (Sabrosky and Valley 1987). A new species, apparently closely related to E. salinaria, is described here from freshwater wetland habitats in eastern Canada. This is the first brachypterous species of Nearctic Elachiptera. Materials and Methods Specimens were initially preserved in 70% ethanol and subsequently prepared using a crit- ical-point dryer or chemically dried using hexamethyldisilazane.

  • Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish Landscape Lise Brunberg Nielsen
    Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish landscape Lise Brunberg Nielsen Nielsen, Lise Brunberg: Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish Landscape. Ent. Meddr 82: 39-62, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2014. ISSN 0013-8851 Abstract About 29,700 Oscinellinae were collected by means of sweep net, water traps and pitfalls in a variety of uncultivated habitats in Denmark mainly in Jutland. So far 75 species belonging to 21 genera are re­ corded from Denmark. Eleven species are new to the Danish fauna. Morphological details of Aphanotrigonum brachypterum, A. hungaricum, A. nigripes, Conioscinella gallarum, lncertella albipalpis, I. nigrifrons, I. kerteszi, I. scotica and Oscinella angustipennis are presented. The distribu­ tion of Oscinellinae in the Danish landscape is discussed. In Denmark, farmland dominates, so the two most abundant Oscinellarspecies of ara­ ble land, Oscinella frit and 0. vastator, are also predominant in most nat­ ural habitats. Small and larger uncultivated areas, however, making up only 25 % of the Danish landscape, contain a rich fauna of Oscinel­ lines. The advantage of different sampling methods combined is demonstrated. Sammendrag Fordelingen af fritf1uer (Diptera: Chloropidae) i det danske landskab. De fa millimeter lange, sorte eller sort-gule fritf1uer (Chloropidae) er nogle af de mest almindelige fluer pa gr<esarealer i Danmark. Et start materiale indsamlet med ketcher, i fangbakker og nedgravede fangglas pa forskellige udyrkede gr<esarealer er artsbestemt. Hovedparten af materialet, ea. 29.700 individer tilh0rer underfamilen Oscinellinae, der i Danmark omfatter 21 sl<egter og 75 arter. Elleve arter er nye for den danske fauna. Alle arter er beskrevet i Nartshuk & Andersson (2013), men supplerende morfologiske detaljer er her tilf0jet for 9 af dem: Aphanotrigonum brachypterum, A.

    Studies of Ephydrinae (Diptera: Ephydridae), IV: Revision of the Australian Species of Subgenus Neoscatella Malloch WAYNE N. MATHIS and WILLIS W. WIRTH SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 325 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub- lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.

  • Introduction
    PDF file from Evenhuis, N.L. & D.J. Greathead, 1999, World Catalog of Bee Flies (Diptera: Bombyliidae). Backhuys Publishers, Leiden. xlviii + ix 756 pp. INTRODUCTION Bombyliids, or bee flies as they are commonly called, comprise a diverse and speciose assemblage of brachycerous flies. With more than 4,500 species known worldwide, they are one of the largest families of Diptera, surpassed in numbers of species only by the Tipulidae (14,000), Tachinidae (9,200), Syrphidae (5,800), Asilidae (5,600), Ceratopogonidae (5,300), and Dolichopodidae (5,100). They occur in a variety of habitats and ecosystems (from ca. 10 km from the Arctic Ocean in Canada through all latitudes as far south as Tierra del Fuego; and at altitudes from over 3500 m in the Himalayas to 200 m below sea level at the shores of the Dead Sea). They are found on all continents except Antarctica and also many oceanic islands. The family has a remarkable range in size (from some Exoprosopa with wingspans of more than 60 mm to the tiny Apolysis that can be as small as 1.5 mm in length) and variety of shapes (e.g., Systropus mimicking ammophiline wasps; Bombomyia mimic- king bumblebees). The adults of the larger species are powerful and agile fliers, rivaling the syrphid flies in their ability to hover and move in all directions while in flight. With many species possessing colorful patterns of stripes and spots on the wings and bodies, bee flies are often some of the most striking in appearance of all the Diptera. Individuals can often be seen either resting in the open on trails or on rocks or twigs sunning themselves, or feeding on a variety of flowering plants.

    Cheshire Wildlife Trust Heteroptera and Diptera surveys on the Manchester Mosses with PANTHEON analysis by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] on behalf of Lancashire and Cheshire Wildlife Trusts Version 1.0 September 2018 Lancashire Wildlife Trust Page 1 of 35 Abstract This report describes the results of a series of surveys on the Manchester mosslands covering heteroptera (shield bugs, plant bugs and allies), craneflies, hoverflies, and a number of other fly families. Sites covered are the Holcroft Moss reserve of Cheshire Wildlife Trust and the Astley, Cadishead and Little Woolden Moss reserves of Lancashire Wildlife Trust. A full list is given of the 615 species recorded and their distribution across the four sites. This species list is interpreted in terms of feeding guilds and habitat assemblages using the PANTHEON software developed by Natural England. This shows a strong representation in the sample of species associated with shaded woodland floor and tall sward and scrub. The national assemblage of peatland species is somewhat less well represented, but includes a higher proportion of rare or scarce species. A comparison is also made with PANTHEON results for similar surveys across a similar range of habitats in the Delamere Forest. This suggests that the invertebrate diversity value of the Manchester Mosses is rather less, perhaps as a result of their fragmented geography and proximity to past and present sources of transport and industrial pollution. Introduction The Manchester Mosses comprise several areas of lowland bog or mire embedded in the flat countryside between Warrington and Manchester. They include several areas designated as SSSIs in view of the highly distinctive and nationally important habitat, such as Risley Moss, Holcroft Moss, Bedford Moss, and Astley Moss.
