Conops Quadrifasciatus Geer 1776 – Species Registered in 2016 in the Republic of Moldova Sustainable use, protection of animal world and forest 172 management in the context of climate change CONOPS QUADRIFASCIATUS GEER 1776 – SPECIES REGISTERED IN 2016 IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA Asea M. Timus Institute of Zoology, Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Chişinau, e-mal: [email protected] In spring of 2016the Conops quadrifasciatus De Geer, 1776 species (Diptera, Conopidae) was recorded in the Republic of Moldova. The specimens of this spe- cies were observed in 03.IV.2016 on the plants from campus of SAUM. The species is aentomological curiosity, because imago presents phenomenon of the mimicrism and is very similar to wasps. For the first time in native literature, the species was mentions in “Animal world. Insects. 1983”: “Species widespread in the USSR, Eastern Europe and Asia Minor is “bolishegolovka 4-h polosnaia” C.quadrifasciatus”. According to the passage it goes without saying that, the species is widespread in the Republic of Moldova too. Other sources indicated that the species spreads from Europe to Siberia, and most often in Central Europe. According to the database of the Fauna Europaea, this species is re- corded in the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Czech Repub- lic, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithua- nia, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden. For Moldova is indicated as – absent, but for neighbouring states as follows: Romania – present and Ukraine – absent. Description. The adult has 10-15 mm body length, and due to long legs has a great look insect. The dominant color is dark brown (Fig. 1). The head is large, dark brown and with long spindly antennae. The trunk is brown at the base and the rest black. The thorax is wider than longer, the prothorax being merged through a welding with mesothorax, while metathorax having sharpened aspect on base that obviously is fixed on propodeum. Prothorax has yellow “ocellus” on the shoulders; the feet are coloured in brown-light with more yellow. The abdomen is black with four yellow prominently transversal stripes, what reminiscent of that of wasps. The tip of the abdomen is frequently thickened and pointing up as at the scorpion.The egg presents a formationas an “anchor” with which it fixed during of flightto the host abdomen.The larvae hatch from the egg and penetrate the insect abdomen where consume it content andthere occurs pupal stage. Species develops one generation per year and overwinter in the imago stage. The C.quadrifasciatus species develops one generation per year and overwinter in the imago stage. Nutritional regime. Adults feeds withflower nectar of plants from families Compos- itae, Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) and Lamiaceae (Labiatae). Larva is ectoparasite of insects from the genus Bombus (argillaceus, fragrans, muscorum, pomorum, ruderatus, zonatus) Andrena bulgariensis, Anoplius samariensis, Xylocopa violacea. Coincidentally, those species are included in the 3rd edition of Red Book of Moldova, published in 2015. IX-th International Conference of Zoologists, 12-13 October 2016 173 a b Figure 1.

The fauna of the area is poorly known. Some of the relatively rare species known from this area are Conops vesicularis Linnaeus, 1761, Dalmannia dorsalis (Fabricius, 1794), Leopoldius coronatus (Rondani, 1857), Myopa polystigma Rondani, 1857, Thecophora distincta (Meigen, 1824), Zodion notatum (Meigen, 1804). Bevezetés Magyarország fejeslegyeinek kutatottságát jónak nevezhetjük, azonban a fa­ unáról összefoglaló tanulmány még nem készült. A fajok száma mintegy 40-re becsülhető. A régebbi faunisztikai irodalomban nem sikerült Somogy megyére vonatkozó fejeslégy közlést találni. Csupán a területen szervezett programok keretében készült 3 dolgozat (CSIBY 1981, TÓTH 1992, 1995), továbbá a pub­ likálatlan adatokból összeállított kézirat (TÓTH előkészületben) tartalmaz ide­ vágó adatokat. Ennek figyelembe vételével, Somogy megyéből jelenleg 25 fejeslégy faj előfordulását tekinthetjük igazoltnak. A fauna kutatottságát köze­ pesnek mondhatjuk. A hazai fajok elterjedési és gyakorisági viszonyainak érté­ kelése még nem történt meg. Ezért egyelőre csak általánosságban beszélhetünk ritka fajokról.

    download Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde aus dem Staatlichen Museum für Naturkunde in Stuttgart Stuttgart I.Juni 1966 Nr. 154 Conopidae im Baltischen BernsMn (Diptera; Cyclorrhapha) Von Willi Hennig, Stuttgart Mit 27 Abbildungen Die Conopidae sind — ganz abgesehen von ihrer eigenartigen Morphologie und Lebensweise — eine besonders interessante Gruppe, weil sie nach Ansicht verschie- dener Autoren der Gesamtheit aller übrigen Schizophora als Schwestergruppe gegen- überstehen. Dazu ist allerdings zu bedenken, daß in die „Familie Conopidae" bis in die allerjüngste Zeit die Stylogastridae eingeschlossen wurden. Enderlein (1936) ver- wendet für die beiden Schwestergruppen die Namen Archischiza (mit der einzigen Familie Conopidae) und Muscaria (alle übrigen Schizophora). Seguy (1951 in Grasse) nennt sie, weniger glücklich, Conopoidea und Muscoidea. Auch Hendel (1936/37 in Kükenthal -Krumbach) und Rohdendorf (1964) vertreten die Annahme, daß zwischen den beiden Gruppen ein Schwestergruppenverhältnis besteht. Rohdendorf bringt das in seiner Stammbaumzeichnung (p. 265, Fig. 85) und Hendel mit Worten (p. 1876) zum Ausdruck: „Die sonst spezialisierten Conopiden zweigen danach vor der Gabe- lung der Schizophoren in Acalyptratae und Calyptratae ab ..." In ihren Systemen lassen beide Autoren ihre Überzeugung allerdings nicht erkennen; denn beide sind Anhänger einer typologischen Systematik: Ihre Systeme sind keine genauen Darstel- lungen der von ihnen angenommenen phylogenetischen Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen. Mit der Frage, ob die Annahme eines Schwestergruppenverhältnisses zwischen den Archischiza und den Muscaria (bzw. Conopoidea und Muscoidea im Sinne von Seguy) berechtigt ist, habe ich mich früher (1958) auseinandergesetzt mit dem auch heute noch gültigen Ergebnis, daß man „trotz der noch durchaus unzulänglichen Begründung das Bestehen eines Schwestergruppenverhältnisses zwischen den Conopidae und den ,übrigen Schizophora' doch wohl für wahrscheinlich halten" muß.

  • Jqotes on Tfte Diptera of Somerset
    ; jQotes on tfte Diptera of Somerset 1 Part II. BY H. J. CHARBONNIER. THIS second part of the list includes the Platypezidae, Pipunculidae, Syrphidae, Conopidae and Oes- TRIDAE. The Platypezidae are small insects and appear very scarce in the County ; their larvae, as far as known, feed on fungi. The Piptjnculidae are also small and difficult to find there should be many more species recorded yet, from the County ; their larvae are parasitic in the bodies of Cicadiae. The flies have wonderful powers of hovering flight. The Syrphidae contain the most beautiful of our native flies ; they are all useful or harmless, with only one or two exceptions, and present the most striking instances of mimicry that are to be found in our insect fauna ; whole genera having assumed the form and colouring of Hymenoptera. Colonel Jermyn has been investigating this point ; and I have made a great many notes on Variation in some of the species. In a later number we hope to give some account of our obser- vations in these fascinating problems. The Syrphidae are extremely numerous in species ; 125 are recorded here. Their larvae have varied habits, many feeding on Aphides, and so proving true gardener's friends ; others live in stagnant water or mud ; others in decaying fungi and vegetation, and one or two spend their larval stage in garden bulbs, Narcissi or Onions. L Part I was printed in the Proceedings, Vol, LXI, 189-204. Notes on the Diptera of Somerset. 163 Some species are unaccountably local, occurring only in one particular spot, perhaps only a few yards square ; others are found everywhere.

Antipa", Bucuresti] The present paper is based an extensive material of the family Cono­ pidae deposited in the collections of the Muzeul de Istarie Naturala "Gr. -mtipa", Bucuresti. We have found in the revised material altogether 39 species of this family collected on the whole territory of Rumania. We include also further 6 species which we did not find in the revised material but the occurrence of which in Rumania is known from the literature. At the present time 45 species of the family Conopidae are known on the territory of Rumania but not even this number is definite. Kröber (1936, 1939) records e. g. 57 species from Italy, 35 from Greece and 53 from France. Although the occurrence of conopid-flies is more frequent in warmer southern regions, in Czechoslovakia, where the family Conopidae has been studied very extensively [ Chväla, 1961, 1965), 52 species have been recorded and 8 other species are expected to be found here. The study and collecting of Conopidae especially in southern sandy regions of Rumania [ Bucuresti and Dobrogea Regions) will result without no doubt in the discovery of further interesting species. The first recmd on this family in Rumania was published by Frivaldszky [1876] who recorded 2 species - Zodion ctnereum Fabr.

    F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation.
