    ABSTRACT Hill, Hilary Nan. Phylogenetic Utility of Two New Nuclear Genes, Opsin and CAD, within the stiletto flies (Diptera: Therevidae) (Under the direction of Brian M. Wiegmann). A need for multiple phylogenetic markers to reconstruct evolutionary relationships is increasingly apparent within both the Therevidae and insect systematics as a whole, especially markers that can accommodate the immense species diversity that arose during the Mesozoic (~65-250mya). Phylogenetic trees are often best reconstructed using datasets from distinct sources and from character sets that have been under different selective pressures. Many recent insect systematics studies use various combinations of markers from multiple genomes, morphology, and biogeography. Nuclear genes, particularly protein-encoding genes that are highly conserved and low copy-number, are increasingly attractive as phylogenetic markers, and there is a recent concerted effort to find and increase access to new nuclear genes. Chapter one of this study investigates the phylogenetic utility of opsin, a new multiple copy nuclear protein- encoding gene in the dipteran family Therevidae. The present analyses of nucleotide sequence data of opsin reconstructed a therevid phylogeny that is partially concordant with previous classifications which demonstrates that opsin may have some limited utility as a phylogenetic marker within the Therevidae and closely related Diptera, but also shows that opsin may be better used in combination with other molecular markers or morphological data sets. Phylogenetic analyses of opsin at multiple levels within insects supports these results, but also reveals the significant obstacles in technical manipulation of the gene and in the interpretaion of ortholog/paralog relationships. In the second chapter two new nuclear, protein-encoding genes, opsin and CAD, in combination with EF-1α and 28S rDNA, are applied to reconstruct evolutionary relationships among the major lineages of Therevidae for which previous molecular evidence has been insufficient.

Peabody Drive, Urbana, IL 61801 Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 96(6): 738Ð765 (2003) Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/aesa/article/96/6/738/14279 by guest on 22 September 2020 ABSTRACT The North American genus Ammonaios Irwin and Lyneborg is revised, and the three new species, A. confusus sp. n., A. mexicanus sp. n., and A. sabulosus sp. n., are described. The limits of the genus are redeÞned; a key to the species, descriptions of the pupae of three species, and distribution maps are provided. A cladistic analysis provides hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships within the genus, and the monophyly of Ammonaios was afÞrmed when tested with respect to species within its putatively closely related genera.

An unusual new species of Anabarhynchus Macquart from Australia (Diptera: Therevidae: Therevinae) SHAUN L. WINTERTON Department of Entomology, North Carolina State University, Box 7613 Raleigh, North Carolina, 27695, USA; email: [email protected] Abstract A new species of Anabarhynchus Macquart is described and figured from south-eastern Queen- sland, Australia. Anabarhynchus oblongicornus sp. nov. adults are active in coastal heath and beach fore-dune habitats. This species is notable because of its greatly elongate antennae, and absence of hind coxal knob, which easily differentiates A. oblongicornus sp. nov. from other species in this endemic Australasian genus. The presence of the hind coxal knob has previously been considered synapomorphic for Therevidae+Apsilocephalidae. A review of the presence of this structure in the therevoid clade (Apsilocephalidae+Scenopinidae+Therevidae+Ocoidae) indicates that it is actually plesiomorphic for the entire group, with various examples of secondary reduction or absence in all higher scenopinids and some therevids. Key words: Therevidae, Diptera, Stiletto-fly, Asiloidea Introduction Stiletto-flies (family Therevidae) are found in a variety of habitats ranging from rainforest to desert, but are generally most diverse in arid regions where the sandy, friable soils pro- vide a suitable habitat for their fossorial larvae. The preference for sandy soils has meant that not only desert regions, but also coastal dune systems and fore-shores are inhabited by therevids, especially by certain species of the endemic and species-rich Australasian genus Anabarhynchus Macquart.

  • Evolution and Classification of Bibionidae (Diptera: Bibionomorpha)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Scott J. Fitzgerald for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology presented on 3 June, 2004. Title: Evolution and Classification of Bibionidae (Diptera: Bibionomorpha). Abstract approved: Signature redacted forprivacy. p 1ff Darlene D. Judd The family Bibionidae has a worldwide distribution and includes approximately 700 species in eight extant genera. Recent studies have not produced compelling evidence supporting Bibionidae as a monophyletic group or identified the sister group to bibionids. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the classification and evolution of the family Bibionidae in a cladistic framework. The study has four primary objectives: 1) test the monophyly of the family; 2) determine the sister group of Bibionidae; 3) examine generic and subfamilial relationships within the family; and 4) provide a taxonomic revision of the extant and fossil genera of Bibionidae. Cladistic methodology was employed and 212 morphological characters were developed from all life stages (adult, pupa, larva, and egg). Characters were coded as binary or multistate and considered equally weighted and unordered. A heuristic search with a multiple random taxon addition sequence was used and Bremer support values are provided to show relative branch support. A strict consensus of 43 equal-length trees of 1,106 steps indicates that the family Bibionidae is monophyletic and is sister group to Pachyneuridae. All bibionid genera are supported as monophyletic except for Bibio and Bibiodes (monophyly of the latter genus was not examined because only one exemplar was included). Results indicate that the subfamilies Hesperininae and Bibioninae are monophyletic and Pleciinae is paraphyletic.

ZooKeys 184: 35–45. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.184.2759 Abstract An unusual new genus (Salwaea burgensis gen. n., sp. n.) of phycine stiletto flies is described from Egypt. A key to Palaearctic genera of Phycinae is presented. Keywords Asiloidea, Therevidae, Phycinae Introduction The stiletto fly subfamily Phycinae comprises 128 species in 18 genera (four extinct) distributed in all major biogeographic regions except Australasia (Hauser 2005; Hauser and Webb 2007). Diagnostic characters used to differentiate members of this subfam- ily include absence of lanceolate setae on the femora, setulae on wing vein R1 (although absent in Schlingeria Irwin, 1977), wing costal vein terminating before vein CuA2 (nev- er circumambient), palpi with an apical pit, female terminalia with only a single set of Copyright Shaun L.
