A total of 412 species and subspecies from 83 genera are reported. Moreover, three species are recorded for the first time from Serbia. KEYWORDS: Fauna, first records, Serbia, syrphids, taxonomy INTRODUCTION Syrphids (Diptera: Syrphidae) are distributed throughout the world as a result of being adapted to numerous habitats. These flies have reached a high level of diversification, with about 6,000 species known (Rotheray & Gilbert, 2011). The current classification of the Syrphidae comprises three subfamilies, Eristalinae, Microdontinae and Syrphinae, and they can be separated by both adult and larva characters (Rotheray & Gilbert, 2011). The first studies on the Balkan syrphids date from the second half of the nineteenth century and already included records of some Syrphidae species (Frauenfeld, 1860; Strobl, 1893, 1898). Strobl (1900, 1902) and Tögl and Fahringer (1911) also contributed to the knowledge of the Balkan syrphid fauna. From the early twentieth century, regional studies on the Balkan hoverflies proliferated: Glumac (1956b, 1972), Leclercq (1961), Lambeck (1968), De Groot and Govedič (2008) and De Groot et al. (2010), in Slovenia; Langhoffer (1919), Marcuzzi (1941), Coe (1956, 1960), Glumac (1956a, 1956b, 1972) and Leclercq (1961), in Croatia; Glumac (1955b, 1972) and Kula (1985), in Bosnia and Herzegovina; Glumac (1972), Šimić (1987) and Vujić et al. (1996), in Montenegro; Glumac (1968, 1972) and * Corresponding author: [email protected] 7 Krpač et al. (2001a, 2001b), in Macedonia; Drensky (1934), Bankowska (1967), in Bulgaria; Wayer and Dils (1999) and Vujić et al. (2000), in Greece. Within the Balkans, Serbia has a relatively well studied hoverfly fauna and some sites have been profusely sampled: Beograd region (Glumac, 1955a), Fruška Gora Mt. (Glumac, 1959, Vujić and Glumac, 1994, Vujić et al., 2002, Šimić et al., 2008), Vršačke planine Mts. (Vujić and Šimić, 1994), Stara planina Mt. (Šimić and Vujić, 1996), Obedska bara marsh (Vujić et al., 1998a, Radenković et al., 2004), Deliblatska peščara sands (Vujić et al., 1998b) and Vojvodina Province (Nedeljković et al., 2009a, Šimić et al., 2009). The first check list of Yugoslav Syrphidae was presented at The Fourth International Congress of Dipterology in Oxford (Šimić et al., 1998). This list included 414 species, as well as the names of excluded (synonyms and misi- dentifications) and doubtful species (unchecked or lost material). Šimić et al., 2001 presents the supplement to the previous check list with the new results based on the redeterminations of collections deposited in the Natural History Museum in Belgrade (NHMB) and Institute of Biology, Novi Sad (FSUNS). Since then some species have been added to Serbian fauna and various name changes have been introduced, so it seemed necessary to provide an up-to-date list for the benefit of the recorders. Based on previous and recent data, the presence of 412 species and subspecies in the area of Republic of Serbia is confirmed. This paper presents three newly discovered species in Serbia. MATERIAL AND METHODS The material analyzed in this study was collected over the course of more than 50 years of investigations (1955–2018). It is deposited in the collection of the Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Univer- sity of Novi Sad, Serbia (FSUNS). A part of the material analyzed in this study is deposited in the collection of the Natural History Museum in Belgrade (Serbia) (NHMB). Specimens were collected by the standard sweep-netting method. The collected material was prepared,

  • Hoverfly Newsletter 34
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 34 NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2002 ISSN 1358-5029 Long-standing readers of this newsletter may wonder what has happened to the lists of references to recent hoverfly literature that used to appear regularly in these pages. Graham Rotheray compiled these when he was editor and for some time afterwards, and more recently they have been provided by Kenn Watt. For some time Kenn trawled for someone else to take over this task from him, but nobody volunteered. Kenn continued to produce the lists, but now no longer has access to the source that provided him with the references. I therefore now make a plea for someone else to agree to take over this role, ideally producing a list of recent literature for each edition of this newsletter (i.e. twice per year), or if that is not possible, for each alternate edition. Failing a reply to this plea, has anyone any suggestions for a reliable source of references to which I could get access in order to compile the list myself?

  • Cheilosia Praecox and C. Psilophthalma, Two Phytophagous Hoverflies Selected As Potential Biological Control Agents of Hawkweeds (Hieracium Spp.) in New Zealand
    680 Session 8 abstracts Proceedings of the X International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds 4-14 July 1999, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, USA Neal R. Spencer [ed.]. (2000) phytophagous insects, acting as physical and/or chemical barriers. However, during the evaluation of the foliage feeder (G. boliviana) as an agent for biocontrol of Tropical Soda Apple (Solanum viarum), it was found that the presence of trichomes is a requirement for the plant to be a suitable host. The tarsal claws of G. boliviana larvae are broadly joined to the tarsus and a hook arises from the external side, giving the claw a depressed “c” shape. In order to walk, the trichomes are grasped with the “c” shaped claws and the body is pulled forward. The TSA leaf surface studied under Environmental Scanning Electronic Microscope (ESEM) reveals the presence of five types of trichomes: simple trichomes, simple articulated trichomes, stellate trichomes, glandular trichomes type A, and glandu- lar trichomes type B. The response of neonate larvae to 20 species of Solanaceae plants was analyzed. In some species the lack or the presence of low densities of trichomes does not allow the insects to walk. The movements of the larvae are uncoordinated and even a light draft shakes them off the leaf surface (e.g. Solanum capsicoides). In other species the larvae can walk but they do not feed, probably due to the presence of deterrents, absence of phagostimulants or both (e.g. tomato). Finally, there are species where the high densi- ty of stellate trichomes form an intricate web that acts as a physical barrier that prevents or makes difficult for first instars to reach the leaf surface (e.g.

  • Hoverflies Family: Syrphidae
    Birmingham & Black Country SPECIES ATLAS SERIES Hoverflies Family: Syrphidae Andy Slater Produced by EcoRecord Introduction Hoverflies are members of the Syrphidae family in the very large insect order Diptera ('true flies'). There are around 283 species of hoverfly found in the British Isles, and 176 of these have been recorded in Birmingham and the Black Country. This atlas contains tetrad maps of all of the species recorded in our area based on records held on the EcoRecord database. The records cover the period up to the end of 2019.

They truly can be considered the gardener’s fiend as not only are they important pollinators but the larva of many species also help to control aphids! Great places to spot hoverflies are in flowery meadows on flowers such as knapweed, buttercup, hogweed or yarrow or in gardens on plants such as Canadian goldenrod, hebe or buddleia. Quite a few species are instantly recognisable while the appearance of some other species might make you doubt that it is even a hoverfly… Mimicry Many hoverfly species are excellent mimics of bees and wasps, imitating not only their colouring, but also often their shape and behaviour. Sometimes they do this to fool the bees and wasps so they can enter their nests to lay their eggs. Most species however are probably trying to fool potential predators into thinking that they are a hazardous species with a sting or foul taste, even though they are in fact harmless and perfectly edible.

Diptera, Syrphidae, Abies alba, deadwood, Fagus silvatica, functional diversity, tree-microhabitats, stand heterogeneity Abstract. Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) provide crucial ecological services and are increasingly used as bioindicators in environ- mental assessment studies. Information is available for a wide range of life history traits at the species level for most Syrphidae but little is recorded about the environmental requirements of forest hoverflies at the stand scale. The aim of this study was to explore whether the structural heterogeneity of a stand influences species richness or abundance of hoverflies in a montane beech-fir forest. We used the catches of Malaise traps set in 2004 and 2007 in three stands in the French Pyrenees, selected to represent a wide range of structural heterogeneity in terms of their vertical structure, tree diversity, deadwood and tree-microhabitats.
