  • De Prachtvlieg MELIERIA PICTA in Grote Aantallen Op Op Schiermonnikoog (Diptera: Ulidiidae)
    de prachtvlieg melieria picta in grote aantallen op strandkweek elytrigia atherica op schiermonnikoog (diptera: ulidiidae) John T. Smit Prachtvliegen zijn kleine vliegen met meestal getekende vleugels. In Nederland komen 16 soorten voor. De larven van de meeste soorten leven in planten, maar details over de levenswijze zijn vaak slecht bekend. Zo ook van de zeldzame Melieria picta. Tijdens een recent veldbezoek aan Schiermonnikoog werd ontdekt dat de soort zich vermoe- delijk vooral ontwikkelt in strandkweek. In dit artikel worden de vier Nederlandse soorten van het genus voorgesteld. inleiding het genus melieria Tijdens het eis-weekend van 7 tot 9 augustus 2009 op Schiermonnikoog is de prachtvlieg Melieria picta (Meigen, 826) (fig. ) in zeer grote aantallen aangetroffen op de kwelders. Tot nog toe was deze zeer lokaal voorkomende soort alleen gemeld van enkele schorren uit het Zeeuwse Deltagebied (Kabos & Van Aartsen 984). Ondanks de overduidelijke binding met zoutwatergetijdengebieden is er niets bekend over de biologie van deze soort. Dat geldt overigens voor het merendeel van de pracht- vliegen (pers. med. Elena Kameneva). Gelet op de vermeende biologie van andere soorten uit het genus Melieria, gecombineerd met observaties van M. picta op Schiermonnikoog, wordt ver- moed dat deze soort zich ontwikkelt in strand- kweek Elytrigia atherica. materiaal Voor de vervaardiging van de verspreidingskaarten zijn de volgende collecties opgenomen: B. van Aartsen (tegenwoordig in zman), A.

Found in a single locality (Parszowice) in Lower Silesia, this species was recorded in a garden on Bryonia alba. Notes on the identification, biology and remarks on the general distribution and origin of the northern populations of this species are given. Colour photographs of the habitus and live specimens are also provided. Key words: Goniglossum wiedemanni, Carpomyini, species new for Poland, Lower Silesia, general distribution, Bryonia alba. INTRODUCTION Species from the family Tephritidae, the larvae of which develop in fruit, belong to the subfamilies Dacinae and Trypetinae. They occur most numerously in regions with a tropical or subtropical climate, where they pose a serious economic problem: in some areas they give rise to crop losses worth many millions of dollars. In central Europe, there are only a few species whose larvae feed on fruit; they belong exclusively to the tribes Carpomyini and Trypetini from the subfamily Trypetinae.

Another part of the updated checklist of Finnish flies is presented. This part covers the families Lonchaeidae, Pallopteridae, Piophilidae, Platystomatidae, Tephritidae, Ulididae, Coelopidae, Dryomyzidae, Heterocheilidae, Phaeomyii- dae, Sciomyzidae and Sepsidae. Eight species are recorded from Finland for the first time. The following ten species have been erroneously reported from Finland and are here deleted from the Finnish checklist: Chaetolonchaea das- yops (Meigen, 1826), Earomyia crystallophila (Becker, 1895), Lonchaea hirti- ceps Zetterstedt, 1837, Lonchaea laticornis Meigen, 1826, Prochyliza lundbecki (Duda, 1924), Campiglossa achyrophori (Loew, 1869), Campiglossa irrorata (Fallén, 1814), Campiglossa tessellata (Loew, 1844), Dioxyna sororcula (Wie- demann, 1830) and Tephritis nigricauda (Loew, 1856). The Finnish records of Lonchaeidae: Lonchaea bruggeri Morge, Lonchaea contigua Collin, Lonchaea difficilis Hackman and Piophilidae: Allopiophila dudai (Frey) are considered dubious.

  • The Diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire: Craneflies and Winter Gnats
    The Diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire: Craneflies and Winter Gnats by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] Version 1.1 26 November 2017 1 Summary This document provides a new checklist for the craneflies and winter gnats (Tipuloidea, Ptychopteridae and Trichoceridae) to extend the lists of the diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire first published by Kidd and Bindle in 1959. Overall statistics on recording activity are given by decade and hectad. Checklists are presented for each of the three Watsonian vice-counties 58, 59, and 60 detailing for each species the number of records, year of earliest and most recent record, and the number of hectads with records. A combined checklist showing distribution by the three vice-counties is also included, covering a total of 264 species, amounting to 75% of the current British checklist. Introduction This report is the third in a series to update and extend the partial checklist of the diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire published in 1959 by Leonard Kidd and Alan Brindle1. There were two previous updates, in 19642 and 19713. The previous reports in this series cover the soldierflies and allies4 and the Sepsidae5, the latter family not having been covered in Ref 1. The reader is referred to the first two reports for the background and rationale of these checklists, as well as the history of diptera recording and available data sources. The description of methodology is also kept to a minimum in the present report: only significant differences from the previous publications will be outlined.
