Owing to the vastness of thεnumb 巴r of closely 町田mbling species , the cl 呂ssification of the Calyptratae has givεn rise to many clisputes for several several decades 岨 Practically no two authors of th 邑 Diptera have agreecl either on the subject subject of major groupings or the Calyptratae or the principle of the cJ assification to be be used. In most of these works ,with the exception of Townsen c! 's paper (1 935-42) and few others , the taxonomic criteria for generic and supergeneric classification have mainly been the external morphological characters of the adult flies , ancl those for for specific c1 assification the characteristics of the genitalia of both sexes as well as the the adult external morphology. The larval charactεrs ,with the exception of Townsencl (1 935-42) ,HaU (1948) ,Roback (1 951) ,etc. ,have not been usecl to any great extent in in the classificatio l1 of the Calyptrate Diptera. Most of the systems proposecl until now have been mainly Eounded upon the characters of the vεnation , the antennae , chaetotaxy ,etc ,、 togεther with the genitalia. 1n the past ,th 日refore , it is not too much to say that the family Iin lI ts within the Calyptratae as well as the subfamily or or tribal limits within one family of the same have been subject to much shifting. It is , therefore , clear that the co-orclinate comparison of the external and intemal morphological morphological characters at a11 the stages is to be more reliable than the results obtained obtained from a comparison only in the extemal m01 ・phology of the adult stage. キ The terms Schizometopa , Thecostomata ,Muscomorpha ,Calyptrata ,Calypterata ,Calypteratae , Calypterae ,Calyptrates ,Calypterates ,etc" are also used by Dipterists 個 - 215 日 216 216 Katsushig 昨日ORI works this line have not yet been carried out in this field of study 。 The pr 巴sent unde 1' took the comparative anatomy of the internal organs organs of the adult flies which had been igno 1' ed many p1' evlous Dipterists (1 960. 印刷; 1962a; 1962b).

Flowering phenology and anthophilous insect communities on 64 plant species of 35 families were studied in the marsh in 1994-95. A total of 936 individuals of 215 species in eight orders of Insecta were collected on flowers from mid April to mid October, The anthophilous insect community was characterized by dominance of Diptera (58 9e of individuals) and relative paucity of Hymenoptera (26 9o), Hemiptera (6 9e), Lepidoptera (5 9e), and Coleoptera (5 9o), Syrphidae was the most abundant family and probably the most important pollination agents. Bee community was characterized by dominance of an aboveground nesting bee genus, Hylaeus (Colletidae), the most abundant species of which was a minute, rare little-recorded species. Cluster analysis on fiower-visiting insect spectra grouped 64 plant species into seven clusters, which were respectively characterized by dominance of small or large bees (18 spp.), syrphid fiies (13 spp.), Calyptrate and other flies (11 spp.), wasps and middle-sized bees (8 spp.), Lepidoptera (2 spp.), Coleoptera (1 sp.) and a mixture of these various insects (11 spp.).

Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae 105(1): 103–121. – Muscidae collected in Afghanistan in the 1960s and deposited in the entomological collection of the Moravian Museum in Brno, Czechia, were identified in 2018 and 2019. In addition, a small number of other Muscidae were examined, either found in the Moravian Museum or in the collection of the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, Sofia, Bulgaria, which had been collected in the Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, North Korea, Russia and Uzbekistan. A study of the more than seven hundred specimens revealed 53 species belonging to 19 genera and five subfamilies of the family Muscidae. One of the species collected in Iran is new to the country and six genera and 21 species are new for Afghanistan. In addition, Dasyphora afghana, also collected in Afghanistan, is described as new to science. The 50 Muscidae species known to date from Afghanistan are compiled into a table. Key words. Asian countries, Palaearctic Region, Afghanistan, Muscidae, new records, new Dasyphora-species. Introduction Little is known of the muscid fauna of Afghanistan. A revision of the Palaearctic Muscidae (HENNIG 1964) contains very few references to Afghan locations, and the Catalogue of the Palaearctic Muscidae (PONT 1986) mentions only 24 species for the country.

Experiments in turns followed decomposition in outdoor environments with the beginning in spring, summer and winter. As the test objects a cadaver of domestic pig (Sus scrofa f. domestica Linnaeus, 1758) weighing 50 kg to 65 kg was used for each test. Our paper presents results of family Muscidae, which was collected during all three studies, with focusing on its using in forensic practice. Altogether 29,237 specimens of the muscids were collected, which belonged to 51 species. It was 16.6% (n = 307) of the total number of Muscidae family which are recorded in the Czech Republic. In all experiments the species Hydrotaea ignava (Harris, 1780) was dominant (spring = 75%, summer = 81%, winter = 41%), which is a typical representative of necrophagous fauna on animal cadavers and human corpses in outdoor habitats during second and/or third successional stages (active decay phase) in the Czech Republic.

Almeida3 1 Department of Biology, Missouri Western State University, St. Joseph, Missouri, USA 2 Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California, USA 3 Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, University of California, Berkeley, California, USA * Corresponding Author: [email protected] Submitted May 26, 2016; Accepted September 7, 2016; Published November 23, 2016 ABSTRACT Determining the ecosystem function of high-order predators is critical for evaluation of food web interactions. Insectivorous birds are abundant predators in many ecosystems yet because they forage upon small taxa, it remains largely unknown whether birds are providing ecosystem services in the form of pest control or disservices by preying upon predaceous arthropod species. We extracted DNA from noninvasive fecal samples of adult and nestling Western Bluebirds (Sialia mexicana) in California vineyards. Using universal arthropod-specific primers, we sequenced prey items via massively parallel sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. Bluebirds consumed a broad diet comprising 66 unique arthropod species from 6 orders and 28 families. Aedes sp. (mosquitoes: Culicidae), a previously unknown prey, was the most common item recovered, occurring in 49.5% of the fecal samples. Ectoparasitic bird blowfly (Protocalliphora) DNA was found in 7% of adult and 11% of nestling samples, presenting clear evidence of active feeding by the avian hosts on adult or larval ectoparasites.
