RUNYON1,2 1Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service, 1648 S. 7th Avenue, Bozeman, Montana 59717, USA 2Montana Entomology Collection, Montana State University, Room 50 Marsh Laboratory, Bozeman, Montana 59717, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The new micro-dolichopodid genus Haromyia gen. nov. and the type species H. iviei sp. nov. are described from the island of Dominica in the Lesser Antilles. Males and females of Haromyia are distinguished by the large setae on a bulging clypeus, minute size, and wing veins that are nearly straight and evenly diverging from wing base. Haromyia does not fit readily into any contemporary dolichopodid subfamily, although it superficially resembles the Enliniinae and Achalcinae. Haromyia should be regarded as incertae sedis until the dolichopodid subfamilies can be refined, particularly to better incorporate the tropical diversity of this large family. Key words: Neotropical, micro-dolichopodid, Enlinia, Harmstonia, West Indies, Achalcinae, clypeal setae Introduction Robinson’s monograph of the Dolichopodidae of Dominica (Robinson 1975), a product of the multi-year Bredin- Archbold-Smithsonian Biological Survey, documented 113 species in 30 genera from the island. Three new genera, Cryptopygiella Robinson, Dominicomyia Robinson, Micromedetera Robinson, and 69 new species were described in that work (Robinson 1975). -

Keywords: Checklist, Oriental, Taxonomy, Biodiversity, Inventory, India diptera. I. Introduction The family Dolichopodidae, commonly known as Long legged flies, are one of the most diverse families of Diptera (Grichanov,1999). Adult dolichopodids vary in size from about 1-9 mm in length and can be recognized by their elongate legs, reduced wing venation, aristate antennae, and relatively slender build. Most species are metallic greenish-blue to greenish-bronze, while some others are non-metallic yellowish (e.g., some species of Achalcus Loew, Argyrochlamys Lamb, Neurigona Rondani, Xanthochlorus Loew and Xanthina Aldrich), or brown to blackish (e.g., several species of Micromorphus Mik and Medetera Fischer von Waldheim). Dolichopodids are widespread and are found in all zoogeographic regions (Robinson,1970; Dyte, 1975; Dyte and Smith ,1980; Bickel and Dyte, 1989; Negrobov, 1991; Pollet et al., 2004). In general, adults and larvae prefer moist environments including stream and lake margins, humid forests, saltmarshes, seashores, and freshwater seepages, where they often occur in large numbers. -

Insects and Other Arthropods from Laysan Island
CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa Vol. XVII, No. 3, August, 1961 379 Insects and Other Arthropods from Laysan Island George D. Butler, Jr. UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA TUCSON, ARIZONA {Submitted for publication January, 1961) Laysan Island is located 790 nautical miles to the northwest of Honolulu in the Leeward Chain of the Hawaiian Islands. The island is shaped like a large oval doughnut, about a mile wide and two miles long, with a lagoon of brackish water in the center. From 1890 until 1904 the island was leased by the Hawaiian Kingdom to the North Pacific Phosphate and Fertilizer Company which worked the guano beds. Schauinsland (1899) visited the island in.1896 for three months and prepared a report on the plant and insect life. In 1903 the manager of the guano company brought in rabbits. These devoured all of the vegetation on the island except the tobacco plants and the few coconut palms. Without vegetation to hold the sand and to provide nesting sites, the large population of sea birds was threatened and three of the five species of endemic birds became extinct. In 1909 Laysan was incorporated, along with other islands in the Leeward Chain, in the Hawaiian Island Bird Reservation. The rabbits were killed off in 1923, or shortly thereafter, and the vegetation began to regrow (Bryan, 1942). Insects were collected on the island by G. P. Wilder in 1905, (Perkins, 1905), by W. A. Bryan in 1911 (Dill and Bryan, 1912), by D. -
