This document defines the standard levels of taxonomic effort (STE) for bioassessment data compatible with the Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP) bioassessment protocols (Ode, 2007) or similar procedures. -

ZooKeys 441: 91–95. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.441.7600 Abstract A checklist of the family Simuliidae (Diptera) is provided for Finland and recognizes 56 species. One new record has been added (Simulium latipes) and one name sunken in synonymy (Simulium carpathicum). Furthermore, Simulium tsheburovae is treated as a doubtful record. Keywords Checklist, Finland, Diptera, Simuliidae Introduction Simuliidae is a relatively small family of nematoceran flies, comprised of 2,163 species (2,151 living and 12 fossil) world-wide (Adler and Crosskey 2014). Numerous taxo- nomical confusions and different views on nomenclature between eastern and western scientists have created confusion in blackfly studies for many decades. Some taxonomi- cal issues concerning species occurring in North Europe have been resolved by recent synonymisations (Raastad et al. 2010, Adler and Crosskey 2014). Systematics and nomenclature of the enumeration follow that of Adler and Crosskey (2014), and only the most relevant synonyms used in previous checklists for Finland are listed. -

In this paper, the utility of a partial sequence of the COI gene, the DNA barcoding region, for the identification of species of black flies in the Austral Region was assessed. Twenty eight morphospecies were analysed, 8 in the genus Austrosimulium (4 species in the subgenus Austrosimulium s.str., 3 in the subgenus Novaustrosimulium , and 1 species unassigned to subgenus), 2 of the genus Cnesia , 8 of Gigantodax , 3 of Paracnephi a, 1 Paraustrosimulium and 4 species to Simulium, subgenera (Morops, Nevermannia , and Pternaspatha ). The Neighbour Joining tree derived from the DNA barcodes sequences grouped most specimens according to species or species groups recognized by morphotaxonomic studies. -
The Phylogeny of Simulium (Chirostilbia) (Diptera: Simuliidae) and Perspectives on the Systematics of the Genus in the Neotropical Region
178 Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Vol. 107(2): 178-185, March 2012 The phylogeny of Simulium (Chirostilbia) (Diptera: Simuliidae) and perspectives on the systematics of the genus in the Neotropical Region Leonardo Henrique Gil-Azevedo1,2/+, Sixto Coscarón3, Marilza Maia-Herzog2 1Departamento de Zoologia, Instituto de Biologia, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Rua São Francisco Xavier 524, 20550-013 Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil 2Laboratório de Simulídeos e Oncocercose, Instituto Oswaldo Cruz-Fiocruz, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil 3Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina Recently, knowledge of Neotropical Simuliidae has been accumulating quickly. However, information about supra-specific relationships is scarce and diagnoses of Simulium subgenera are unsatisfactory. To investigate the relationships among Simulium (Chirostilbia) species and test the subgenus monophyly, we performed a cladistic analysis. The ingroup included all species of this subgenus and the outgroup included representatives of the 17 spe- cies groups of Neotropical Simulium and three Holarctic species. The study was based on a data matrix with 31 terminal taxa and 45 morphological characteristics of adult, pupa and larva. The phylogenetic analysis under equal weights resulted in eight most-parsimonious trees (length = 178, consistency index = 34, retention index = 67). The monophyly of the S. (Chirostilbia) was not supported in our analysis. The Simulium subpallidum species group was closer to Simulium (Psilopelmia) and Simulium (Ectemnaspis) than to the Simulium pertinax species group. Ad- ditionally, we describe the three-dimensional shape of the terminalia of male and female of Simulium (Chirostilbia) for the first time and provide comments about the taxonomic problems involving some species of the subgenus: Simu- lium acarayense, Simulium papaveroi, S. -

The Simuliidae is a family of Diptera with approximately 2072 described species worldwide. The females of the majority of the species feed from vertebrates’ blood, which makes them a significant plague that affects both men as well as cattle, birds, and other vertebrates. The objective of this paper is to create an inventory of Simuliidae and to reveal certain aspects of the biology and distribution of this family of aquatic insects in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. -

The Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, within the remote Sub-Antarctic ecoregion is a reservoir of expressions of biological and cultural diversity. Although it is considered one of 24 wilderness areas remaining in the world, it is not free from local and global threats, such as invasive species, and climate change. Field biologists and philosophers associated to the Sub- Antarctic Biocultural Conservation Program and the Omora Ethnobotanical Park, have worked to describe the region’s biocultural diversity, linking ecological and philosophical research into education, ecotourism, and conservation, through a methodology called field environmental philosophy (FEP), which integrates ecological sciences and environmental ethics through a 4- step cycle consisting of: 1) interdisciplinary research; 2) composition of metaphors; 3) design of field activities with an ecological and ethical orientation; and 4) implementation of in situ conservation areas. -

CRAIG1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, T6G 2E9. E-mail: [email protected] OrcID 0000-0002-9269-8826 Abstract Though the taxonomic establishment of Austrosimulium bancrofti (Taylor) was muddled, the species, because of its pest status, has been the most highly researched black fly in Australia. The literature is, however, widely spread. This current work consolidates much of that and provides redescription of all stages. Key words: Australia, Diptera, Simuliidae, Austrosimulium, bancrofti, redescription, biology, literature Introduction Austrosimulium bancrofti (Taylor) was described by Lee et al. (1962) as “Second in importance to A. pestilens as a pest as it does not occur in such enormous swarms. However, its wider distribution and independence of flood con- ditions, coupled with its range of attacks on stock, would suggest it to be the most important species for epidemio- logical consideration”. They also noted that this black fly occurred in all Australian States except South Australia and Northern Territories, and was known to attack humans, horses, dogs, rabbits, kangaroos, wombats and eagles. Because of its notoriety, A. bancrofti has been subject to considerable examination over the years, albeit with the resultant information spread widely through the literature.
