Author: Martin C. Harvey. Date: 15 March 2007 (with minor edits at 15 October 2008). Based on data held on the MapMate database by BMERC (data retrieved 15 March 2007), and including all species covered by the national cranefly recording scheme (craneflies, Tipuloidea, plus fold-winged craneflies, Ptychopteridae, and winter gnats, Trichoceridae). This is a very provisional document – the data has not yet been fully validated, and has not been checked with the national scheme. Records have been contributed by around 30 people, especially Ken Merrifield, Martin Harvey, Tony Marshall and Alan Stubbs. 1. Species list There are approximately 550 records of hoverfly for Buckinghamshire on the database, comprising 90 species: 37 long-palped craneflies, 41 short-palped craneflies, 7 winter gnats and 5 fold-winged craneflies. There are 339 British species altogether.

  • The Diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire: Craneflies and Winter Gnats
    The Diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire: Craneflies and Winter Gnats by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] Version 1.1 26 November 2017 1 Summary This document provides a new checklist for the craneflies and winter gnats (Tipuloidea, Ptychopteridae and Trichoceridae) to extend the lists of the diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire first published by Kidd and Bindle in 1959. Overall statistics on recording activity are given by decade and hectad. Checklists are presented for each of the three Watsonian vice-counties 58, 59, and 60 detailing for each species the number of records, year of earliest and most recent record, and the number of hectads with records. A combined checklist showing distribution by the three vice-counties is also included, covering a total of 264 species, amounting to 75% of the current British checklist. Introduction This report is the third in a series to update and extend the partial checklist of the diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire published in 1959 by Leonard Kidd and Alan Brindle1. There were two previous updates, in 19642 and 19713. The previous reports in this series cover the soldierflies and allies4 and the Sepsidae5, the latter family not having been covered in Ref 1. The reader is referred to the first two reports for the background and rationale of these checklists, as well as the history of diptera recording and available data sources. The description of methodology is also kept to a minimum in the present report: only significant differences from the previous publications will be outlined.

    A SYNOPSIS OF PART OF THE NEOTROPICAL CRANE-FLIES OF THE SUBFAMH^Y LIMNOBIN^. By Charles P. Alexander, Of the Entomological Lahoratory of Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. INTRODUCTION. The present paper is the partial result of the study of some exten- sive collections of tropical American Tipulidse or crane-flies. In this paper the tribes Eriopterini and Limnophilini are included. A second part will include the tribes Limnobini, Antochini, and Hexa- tommi, completing the Limnobinse, and a third will treat of the Tipulmse. In this paper the term Neotropical is used as synon^^mous with the Neogsea (m part), of Sclater (1858) and the Dendrogjea of Sclater (1874). It mcludes South America and the adjacent Falkland, South Georgia, Juan Fernandez, and Galapagoes Islands; the West Indies, or Antilles; Central America, Mexico, and the extreme southern portions of Florida and Texas. Besides describing all new forms and redescribing such species as are inadequately handled in previous descriptions, I have thought it might be of some value to future students to include keys to the genera and species of the regional forms. It should be understood, however, that the difficulties m the way of such an attempt are such as to almost discourage one from undertaking it. One must remem- ber that a very considerable number of the species have never been rediscovered since then- origmal description; many of these descrip- tions are brief, vague, and altogether unsatisfactory. Those of Fabricius would be as bad as those of Walker if it were not for the work of Wiedemann, who had access to the Fabrician types.

Structure of the coxa and homeosis of legs in Nematocera Kiev-30, Ukraine 01601 (Insecta: Diptera). — Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 85: 131–148 Construction of the middle and hind coxae was investigated in 95 species of Keywords: 30 nematoceran families. As a rule, the middle coxa contains a separate coxite, Insect locomotion – Homeotic mutations the mediocoxite, articulated to the sternal process. In most families, this coxite – Diptera – Nematocera is movably articulated to the eucoxite and to the distocoxite area; the coxa is Accepted for publication: radially split twice. Some groups are characterized by a single split. 1 July 2004 The coxa in flies is restricted in its rotation owing to a partial junction either between the meron and the pleurite or between the eucoxite and the meropleurite. Hence the coxa is fastened to the thorax not only by two pivots (to the pleural ridge and the sternal process), but at the junction named above. Rotation is impossible without deformations; the role of hinges between coxites is to absorb deformations. This adaptive principle is confirmed by physical modelling. Middle coxae of limoniid tribes Eriopterini and Molophilini are compact, constructed by the template of hind coxae. On the contrary, hind coxae in all families of Mycetophiloidea and in Psychodidae s.l. are constructed like middle ones, with the separate mediocoxite, centrally suspended at the sternal process. These cases are considered as homeotic mutations, substituting one structure with a no less efficient one.

  • Biogeographic Patterns of Finnish Crane Flies (Diptera, Tipuloidea)
    Hindawi Publishing Corporation Psyche Volume 2012, Article ID 913710, 20 pages doi:10.1155/2012/913710 Research Article Biogeographic Patterns of Finnish Crane Flies (Diptera, Tipuloidea) Jukka Salmela Zoological Museum, Department of Biology, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland Correspondence should be addressed to Jukka Salmela, jueesal@utu.fi Received 27 April 2012; Revised 25 July 2012; Accepted 14 August 2012 Academic Editor: David Roubik Copyright © 2012 Jukka Salmela. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Species richness of terrestrial and freshwater biota generally decreases with increasing latitude. Some taxa, however, show an anomalous species richness pattern in a regional or global scale. The aim of this study was to examine (i) regional variation in species richness, (ii) faunistic composition, (iii) occupancy, and (iv) proportions of different distribution types of Finnish crane flies. Analyses were based on incidence data pooled into 20 biogeographical provinces. Finnish crane fly fauna consists of 335 species; the provincial richness varies from 91 to 237. The species richness of all species and saproxylic/fungivorous species decreased with increasing latitude; mire-dwelling crane flies displayed a reversed pattern (Spearman’s correlations). Thirty-one species occupied a single province and 11 species were present in all provinces. Provincial assemblages showed a strong latitudinal gradient (NMS ordination) and faunistic distance increased with increasing geographical distance (Mantel test). Nearly half (48%) of the Finnish crane flies are Trans-Palaearctic, roughly one-third (34%) are West Palaearctic, and only 16 and 2% are Holarctic and Fennoscandian, respectively.

  • The Craneflies of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55)
    LEICESTERSHIRE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Craneflies of Leicestershire and Rutland (VC55) John Kramer* Tipula maxima – Graham Calow LESOPS 26 (2011) ISSN 0957 - 1019 *31 Ash Tree Road, Oadby, Leicester LE2 5TE 1 Introduction It is necessary to say at the outset that, since craneflies are not a scientific group, its meaning has changed over the years. It seems to be synonymous with daddy long-legs , meaning all long-legged two-winged flies. These, in the past, have included Winter Gnats (Trichoceridae) Fold-winged flies (Ptychopteridae) and Dixidae. The present meaning, used here, is restricted to the super-family Tipuloidea (Order Diptera) which, for the past 20 years (Starý 1992), has been composed of four families - Tipulidae, Pediciidae, Cylindrotomidae and Limoniidae. I have tried to provide a firm basis for further work on craneflies in VC55, and to suggest what that work might be. There are voucher specimens for most, though not all, of the records and wherever there is only a single record, more records are needed to firmly establish that species on the county list. Pioneering work in Europe Before any meaningful lists of craneflies could be produced it was necessary to have fixed and unambiguous names for them. The genus-species naming system for doing this was first provided for the then-known craneflies by the 1758 volume of Linnaeus’s Systemae Naturae , published in Sweden, so this date provides a starting-point. Linnaeus named 14 of the more conspicuous craneflies on the British Checklist. Johan Christian Fabricius was a student of Linnaeus and did more work than his mentor on insects.

FLIES of the family CHIRONOMIDA.E may be distinguished from other Nematocerous families of Diptera by the following combination of charac­ ters : Ocelli absent ; antennae hairy (especially in d') ; six to eight veins reaching wing-margin; one or both anal veins not reaching margin; vein M simple; cross-veins R-M and M-CU (latter when present) near middle of wing. The reduced mouthparts and the fact that the costa is not con­ tinued around the entire wing provide simple distinctions from CuLICIDAE, to which family some groups bear a superficial resemblance. The closely­ related CERA.TOPOGONIDA.E (" biting midges ") were formerly included in the CHIRONOMIDA.E (" non-biting midges"), and differ most obviously by the forked vein M ; head rounded behind instead of flattened ; postnotum without a distinct median longitudinal furrow or keel, which is present in most CHIRONOMIDA.E .

Preliminary key to the genus-group taxa G. THEISCHINGER Abstract: The genus-group taxa of the Australian Limoniinae are keyed, with relevant characters illustrated. Introduction Until now, a key to the genera and subgenera of the Australian Limoniinae has not been available. Therefore, since starting to study this group of crane flies in 1988. I have been asked repeatedly by Australian biologists and by overseas tipulid specialists to provide such a key. After having revised several genera and having sorted most of the Australian Limo- niinae available in collections, I am now in a position to present a preliminary key to the genus-group taxa. I am particularly glad about the timing of the key's appearance, as it is coincident with a forthcoming project on the larvae of the Australian Tipulidae. Apart from filling a gap, the preliminary key below should facilitate this and other projects in their infant stages and will possibly benefit from them later. It should be noted again that besides the one-family concept of Tipulidae which was followed throughout his career by Alexander, which was recently seconded by BYERS (1992) and which is followed in this paper, an alternative multi-family system of crane flies is presently being used and has been used for some time by tipulid workers, par- ticularly in Europe.

Österreich 148/149, 2012, 275–278 Two remarkable new species of Molophilus CURTIS from * Australia (Insecta: Diptera: Tipuloidea, Limoniidae) ) 1) Günther THEISCHINGER Two new species of Australian Limoniidae are introduced. They are Molophilus dries- seni sp. n. from Tasmania and Molophilus franzspetai sp. n. from south-eastern New South Wales. Both species belong in the Molophilus gracilis group sensu THEISCHINGER (1988a). Whereas M. driesseni appears to be a rather isolated species, M. franzspetai has a close relative in M. drepanostylus ALEXANDER from north-eastern New South Wales. THEISCHINGER G., 2012: Zwei bemerkenswerte neue Arten von Molophilus CURTIS von Australien (Insecta: Diptera: Tipuloidea, Limoniidae). Zwei neue australische Limoniiden Arten werden eingeführt. Es sind dies Molophilus driesseni sp. n. von Tasmanien und Molophilus franzspetai sp. n. vom Südosten von New South Wales. Beide gehören zur Molophilus gracilis Gruppe sensu THEISCHINGER (1988a). Während M. driesseni ziemlich isoliert erscheint, hat M. franzspetai eine nahe verwandte Art in M. drepanostylus ALEXANDER vom Nordosten von New South Wales. Key words: Molophilus, new species, Australia. Introduction The Australian species of Molophilis CURTIS were revised by THEISCHINGER (1988a, 1988b, 1992).
