  • New Host Plant Records for Species Of
    Life: The Excitement of Biology 4(4) 272 Geometric Morphometrics Sexual Dimorphism in Three Forensically- Important Species of Blow Fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae)1 José Antonio Nuñez-Rodríguez2 and Jonathan Liria3 Abstract: Forensic entomologists use adult and immature (larvae) insect specimens for estimating the minimum postmortem interval. Traditionally, this insect identification uses external morphology and/or molecular techniques. Additional tools like Geometric Morphometrics (GM) based on wing shape, could be used as a complement for traditional taxonomic species recognition. Recently, evolutionary studies have been focused on the phenotypic quantification for Sexual Shape Dimorphism (SShD). However, in forensically important species of blow flies, sexual variation studies are scarce. For this reason, GM was used to describe wing sexual dimorphism (size and shape) in three Calliphoridae species. Significant differences in wing size between females and males were found; the wing females were larger than those of males. The SShD variation occurs at the intersection between the radius R1 and wing margin, the intersection between the radius R2+3 and wing margin, the intersection between anal vein and CuA1, the intersection between media and radial-medial, and the intersection between the radius R4+5 and transversal radio-medial. Our study represents a contribution for SShD description in three blowfly species of forensic importance, and the morphometrics results corroborate the relevance for taxonomic purposes. We also suggest future investigations that correlated shape and size in sexual dimorphism with environmental factors such as substrate type, and laboratory/sylvatic populations, among others. Key Words: Geometric morphometric sexual dimorphism, wing, shape, size, Diptera, Calliphoridae, Chrysomyinae, Lucilinae Introduction In determinig the minimum postmortem interval (PMI), forensic entomologists use blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and other insects associated with body corposes (Bonacci et al.

  • Remarkable Aquatic Predators in the Genus Ocyptamus (Diptera, Syrphidae)
    ROTHERAY et al.: 385-389 Studia dipterologica 7 (2000) Heft 2 • ISSN 0945-3954 Remarkable aquatic predators in the genus Ocyptamus (Diptera, Syrphidae) [Bemerkenswerte aquatische Pradatoren in der Gattung Ocyptamus (Diptera, Syrphidae)] by Graham E. ROTHERAY, Manuel ZUMBADO, E. Geoffrey HANCOCK and F. Christian THOMPSON Edinburgh (United Kingdom) Santo Domingo (Costa Rica) Glasgow (United Kingdom) Washington (USA) Abstract Third-stage larvae, puparia and adults are described for two species of Ocyptamus MACQUART and new synonyms are proposed. The larvae were found in water pockets within epiphytic Bromeliaceae in Costa Rica. They attacked a wide taxonomic range of insect larvae that char- acteristically co-occur in these phytotelmata, apparently subduing prey with venom and suck- ing out the internal contents. They possess a number of morphological and behavioural fea- tures not known in other predatory syrphids. These features include an enlarged and flattened anal end bearing a sucker, elongate posterior breathing tubes with vertically inclined spiracu- lar plates, and patches of needle-like spicules on the underside of the thorax. Although only two species were reared, larvae of 6 other species were discovered, which suggest that many more species occur in bromeliads. Key words Predator, phytotelmata, bromeliads, anal sucker, venom Zusammenfassung Von zwei Arten der Gattung Ocyptamus MACQUART werden die dritten Larvenstadien, die Puparien und die Imagines beschrieben und charakterisiert sowie neue Synonyme festgelegt. Die Larven wurden in Phytothelmata von epiphytischen Bromelien in Kostarika gefunden. Sie attackieren ein weites Spektrum von Insektenlarven, die hier gemeinsam mit den Syrphiden- larven leben. Offensichtlich lahmen sie die Beute mittels eines Giftes und saugen dann den deren Korperinhalt aus.

A New Species of Blepharicera Macquart (Diptera: Blephariceridae) from Western North America Abstract During a review of the Blepharicera of western North America, we discovered a new species from several mid- sized rivers in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. We hereby present descriptions of the larvae, pupae, and adults of B. kalmiopsis, new species. Diagnostic characters and a brief discussion of bionomics and distribution are also provided. Based on previous and ongoing studies, B. kalmiopsis clearly belongs to the B. micheneri Alexander species group and appears closely related to B. zionensis Alexander.

It is known to be one of the first flies to occupy a corpse upon its death. Due to this, it has great importance in forensic field to find out post-mortem interval. In this study, the development of L. cuprina is studied in an incubator at different constant temperatures.

  • The Occurrence of Stalk-Eyed Flies (Diptera, Diopsidae) in the Arabian Peninsula, with a Review of Cluster Formation in the Diopsidae Hans R
    Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 160 (2017) 75–88 The occurrence of stalk-eyed flies (Diptera, Diopsidae) in the Arabian Peninsula, with a review of cluster formation in the Diopsidae Hans R. Feijen*, Ralph Martin & Cobi Feijen Catalogue and distribution data are presented for the six Diopsidae species known to occur in the Arabian Peninsula: Sphyracephala beccarii, Chaetodiopsis meigenii, Diasemopsis aethiopica, Diopsis arabica, Diopsis mayae and Diopsis sp. (ichneumonea species group). The biogeographical aspects of their distribution are discussed. Records of Diopsis apicalis and Diopsis collaris are removed from the list for Arabia as these were based on misidentifications. Synonymies involving Diasemopsis aethiopica and Diasemopsis varians are discussed. Only one out of four specimens in the D. elegantula type series proved conspecific with D. aethiopica. The synonymy of D. aethiopica and D. varians is rejected. A lectotype for Diasemopsis elegantula is now designated. D. elegantula is proposed as junior synonym of D. varians. A fly cluster of more than 80,000 Sphyracephala beccarii, observed in Oman, is described. The occurrence of cluster formations in the Diopsidae is reviewed, while a possible explanation is indicated.

DEAR ABSTRACT The 24 New World species of Chrysomyini are revised. Keys are given to genera and species with illustrations of characters of diagnostic and syste­ matic importance. All taxa are fully described (except for the species of Chrysomya and Cochliomyia), and reference is made to their biology where is known. There are 20 endemic species (1 Chloroprocta, 3 Paralucilia, 6 He­ milucilia, 4 Cochliomyia, 6 Compsomyops), and 4 Chrysomya have been in­ troduced from the Old World. Four new species are described: Paralucilia adesposta, P. xantogeneiates, Hermilucilia melusina, Compsomyops melloi. The­ re are 2 new generic and 2 new specific synonymies. The types of previously described species have been examined wherever possible, and lectotypes de­ signated where appropriate. INTRODUCTION The Calliphorid tribe Chrysomyini is represented in the New World by 20 endemic species and four introduced species: the endemic species are in­ cluded in five genera (Chloroprocta, Paralucilia, Hemilucilia, Cochliomyia, Compsomyops) whilst the introduced species all belong to the Old World genus Chrysomya. Like their Old World relatives, the New World Chrysomyini are large, robust, metallic blowflies, but in their morphology they differ consi­ derably from these and, furthermore, each genus has one or more unusual (autapomorphic) characters. The following key will separate the New World subfamilies of Callipho­ ridae: I. Posterior spiracle with a long fringe of dense hairs which extend from the posterior margin along the lower margin to the anterior margin in a continuous fan.
