Grootaert Debruyn Demeyer 1 151 Agromyzidae Agromyzidae Luc DE BRUYN & Michael VON TSCHIRNHAUS Agromyzidae, or leaf miners are small to very small, generally grey to black or brown, sometimes partially or completely yellow, flies. Costal vein of wing extending to apex of vein Mi+2 or reduced to the apex of vein R4+5, broken at apex of Ri (then sub-costa developed throughout its length and merging with vein Ri before reaching costa) or some distance before the point where Ri reaches the costa (then sub-costa fading distally, ending in costa well separated of vein Ri); basai crossvein always present, poste- rior crossvein frequently lacking; anal cell present. On the head normally between three and six orbital bristles, lower fronto-orbi- tals inclinated or missing (Selachops\ postverticals divergent; vibrissae mostly present. Third antennal segment usually rounded, shorter or slightly longer than broad, sometimes elongated or with a sharp point, somethimes greatly enlarged in males. Tibiae with¬ out preapical bristles; mid tibiae often with one to three posterolateral bristles; for tibiae rarely with one posterolateral bristle. Fe- male 7 abdominal tergite and sternite fused and chitinised into a non-retractile sheath for ovipositor, the latter with family spécifie teeth for drilling. Larvae of all agromyzid species are internai plant feeders with a family spécifie morphology. Most species are miners in leaves where they produce a characteristic form of mine, in most of the cases a substantial aid in identifying the agromyzid (Hering, 1935a&b, 1936, 1937a&b; key for European species in Hering, 1957). Some species are stem-borers, or develop in roots, seeds or galis. One genus develops exclusively in the cambium of young and old trees. Most species are monophagous, a considérable num- ber are oligophagous, while very few are truly polyphagous (Spencer, 1990). The Belgian Agromyzidae fauna has only been treated poorly until now. Most publications were usually limited to faunisti- cal lists (Jacobs, 1906) or some observations (Meunier, 1905, 1910-11; van den Buel; 1936, 1938; Collart, 1938, 1942; De Bruyn, 1988). Due to recent révisions of the family (e.g. Nowakowski, 1962), mainly based on the morphology of male genitalia, older faun- istical records are unreliable. General détermination keys can be found in Hendel (1931-36) and Spencer (1972,1976). Some genera are treated separate- ly in Spencer (1964, 1966), Nowakowski (1973), Griffiths (1980), but a reliable identification is only possible with the large num- ber of special publications, not yet included in général works. references; Jacobs (1906); Meunier (1905, 1910-11); Hendel (1931, 1931-36); Hering (1935, 1936, 1937a, 1937b, 1937c, 1951, 1957); van den Bruel (1936, 1938); Collart (1938,1942); Spencer (1964, 1966a, 1966b, 1972,1973,1976, 1990); Nowakow¬ ski (1962, 1973); Griffiths (1980); von Tschirnhaus (1981); De Bruyn (1988).

  • Chloropidae (Diptera) of Turkey with Descriptions of New Species and New Records
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 41–42, 2011–2012, pp. 115–144 Chloropidae (Diptera) of Turkey with descriptions of new species and new records EMILIA P. NARTSHUK Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaya nab 1, 199034 St. Petersburg. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A list of Chloropidae from Turkey is provided, containing 64 species from 31 genera and 4 subfamilies. Three species are described as new. Two additional species were only identified to genus level. Twelve species are listed based only on literature data. Most species (40) are recorded from Turkey for the first time. KEYWORDS: Diptera, Chloropidae, Asia Minor, Turkey, new species, new faunistic data INTRODUCTION Grass flies of the family Chloropidae (Diptera, Cyclorrhapha) of Turkey are insuf- ficiently studied, and only 21 species have been recorded to date. Loew (1858) de- scribed 3 species: Oscinis brevirostris (now Aphanotrigonum cinctellum (Zetterstedt)), O. marginata (now Polyodaspis ruficornis (Macquart)) and Crassiseta megaspis (now in Elachiptera). He also cited Constantinopolis as type locality for the two former spe- cies and Asia minor for the latter species. Becker (1912) described Chlorops pallidior from Asia Minor. Duda (1932-1933) recorded Oscinimorpha albisetosa Duda, Chlo- rops fasciatus Meigen and Thaumatomyia sulcifrons Becker from Asia minor, Lodos (1957) recorded Oscinella frit (Linnaeus) as Scatopse nigra, but his drawings of the fly, including its wing, beyond question refer to O. frit. This species was mentioned by Özer (1976) as well. Lessman (1962), who studied pests of cones of Ceder libani, found larvae of a fly, which he did not name (see comments below under Hapleginella laevi- frons (Loew, 1858)).

  • Of the Vitosha Mountain
    Historia naturalis bulgarica 26: 1–66 ISSN 0205-3640 (print) | ISSN 2603-3186 (online) • http://www.nmnhs.com/historia-naturalis-bulgarica/ publication date [online]: 17 May 2018 The Dipterans (Insecta: Diptera) of the Vitosha Mountain Zdravko Hubenov Abstract. A total of 1272 two-winged species that belong to 58 families has been reported from theVitosha Mt. The Tachinidae (208 species or 16.3%) and Cecidomyiidae (138 species or 10.8%) are the most numerous. The greatest number of species has been found in the mesophylic and xeromesophylic mixed forests belt (707 species or 55.6%) and in the northern part of the mountain (645 species or 50.7%). The established species belong to 83 areographical categories. The dipterous fauna can be divided into two main groups: 1) species with Mediterranean type of distribution (53 species or 4.2%) – more thermophilic and distributed mainly in the southern parts of the Palaearctic; seven species of southern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well; 2) species with Palaearctic and Eurosiberian type of distribution (1219 species or 95.8%) – more cold-resistant and widely distributed in the Palaearctic; 247 species of northern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well. The endemic species are 15 (1.2%). The distribution of the species according to the zoogeographical categories in the vegetation belts and the distribution of the zoogeographical categories in each belt are considered. The dipteran fauna of the Vitosha Mt. is compared to this of the Rila and Pirin Mountains.

An annotated host catalogue is given for the Tachinidae ofthe Czech Republic. It comprises 149 of476 tachinid species which are currently known from this coun- try (included the two new records cited below). 195 hosts are listed. The first host records ofTachinidae date back to the second halfofthe 19th century. The bibli- ography for the host records consists of 1 16 papers of 55 researchers. Several re- cords of hitherto unpublished material are included. Phryxe setifacies and Anthomyiopsis plagioderae are first records for the Czech Republic. J.

ZooKeys 441: 311–318. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.441.7505 Abstract A checklist of 147 species the Chloropidae (Diptera) recorded from Finland. Centorisoma elegantulum Becker is recorded for the first time from Finland. Keywords Finland, Chloropidae, species list, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction The Chloropidae is a large family of acalyptrate Diptera. It belongs to superfamily Carnoidea with Milichiidae as the closest relative. The classification of the family used follows Andersson (1977) and Nartshuk (1983). The North European chloropid fauna has recently been revised by Nartshuk and Andersson (2013). Details of Finnish chloropid literature, species distribution and ecology, and other details can be found in their book. In comparison with the neigh- bouring countries, Finland ranks second in the number of chloropid species after Swe- den (189 species) but well ahead of Denmark (119 species) and Norway (97 species).
