FIJI ARTHROPODS Editors’ Preface We are pleased to present the seventh issue of Fiji Arthropods, a series offering rapid pub- lication and devoted to studies of terrestrial arthropods of the Fiji Group and nearby Pacific archipelagos. Most papers in this series will be the results of collecting and research on the Fijian fauna deriving from the NSF-funded “Terrestrial Arthropods of Fiji” project. Five co-PIs and 18 specialists (see Fiji Arthropods I, p. 18) form the core team of scientists who have agreed to publish new taxa that result from collecting during this sur- vey. However, as space allows, we welcome papers from any scientist who is currently working on arthropod taxonomy in Fiji. This issue contains results of discoveries of new species of Platypezidae (Diptera: Sinclair & Chandler), Pompilidae (Hymenoptera: Pitts et al.), and Zoraptera (Engel). Additionally, a study of the Godeffroy Sale catalogs that list many Fijian arthropods is given (Evenhuis) and the authorship of Xithuthrus heros is clarified (Evenhuis). Manuscripts are currently in press or in preparation on Cerambycidae, Lauxaniidae, Keroplatidae, Mycetophilidae, Mythicomyiidae, Limoniidae, Dolichopodidae, Stratiomyidae, Asilidae, and Sciaridae and will appear in future issues. The editors thank the Government of Fiji (especially the Ministries of Environment and Forestry), the National Science Foundation (DEB 0425970), and the Schlinger Foundation for their support of this project. Types of new species deriving from this study and vouch- er specimens will be deposited in the Fiji National Insect Collection, Suva. All papers in this series are available free of charge as pdf files downloadable from the fol- lowing url: http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/fiji/fiji-arthropods/ We encourage interested authors to contact us before submitting papers. —Neal L.

Natur., 65: 51-62, 2016 DOI: 10.1515/cszma-2016-0005 New records of Psilidae, Piophilidae, Lauxaniidae, Cremifaniidae and Sphaeroceridae (Diptera) from the Czech Republic and Slovakia Jindřich Roháček, Miroslav Barták & Jiří Preisler New records of Psilidae, Piophilidae, Lauxaniidae, Cremifaniidae and Sphaeroceridae (Diptera) from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. – Acta Mus. Siles. Sci. Natur. 65: 51-62, 2016. Abstract: Records of eight rare species of the families Psilidae (4), Piophilidae (1), Lauxaniidae (1), Cremifaniidae (1) and Sphaeroceridae (1) from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria are presented and their importance to the knowledge of the biodiversity of local faunas is discussed along with notes on their biology, distribution and identification. Psilidae: Chamaepsila tenebrica (Shatalkin, 1986) is a new addition to the West Palaearctic fauna (recorded from the Czech Republic and Slovakia); Ch. andreji (Shatalkin, 1991) and Ch. confusa Shatalkin & Merz, 2010 are recorded from the Czech Republic (both Bohemia and Moravia) and Ch. andreji also from Austria for the first time, and Ch. unilineata (Zetterstedt, 1847) is added to the fauna of Moravia. Also Homoneura lamellata (Becker, 1895) (Lauxaniidae) and Cremifania nigrocellulata Czerny, 1904 (Cremifaniidae) are first recorded from Moravia and Copromyza pseudostercoraria Papp, 1976 (Sphaeroceridae) is a new addition to faunas of both the Czech Republic (Moravia only) and Slovakia, and its record from Moravia represents a new northernmost limit of its distribution. Pseudoseps signata (Fallén, 1820) (Piophilidae), an endangered species in the Czech Republic, is reported from Bohemia for second time. Photographs of Chamaepsila tenebrica (male), Pseudoseps signata (living female), Homoneura lamellata (male), Cremifania lanceolata (male) and Copromyza pseudostercoraria (male) are presented to enable recognition of these species.

E-mail: [email protected]. 2Gazi Üniversity, Faculty of Science, Deparment of Biology, Teknikokullar, Ankara, Turkey Abstract Two new species, Lasiopa aksarayiensis sp. n. and Lasiopa aktasii sp. n. are described from the Central Anatolian stepe in Turkey. All diagnostic characters are illustrated and possible relationships of both taxa are briefly discussed. The first record of Lasiopa pseudovillosa (Rozkošný, 1983) from Turkey is presented and additional Turkish localities of Lasiopa caucasica (Pleske, 1901) are recorded and an identification key to all the Palaearctic species of Lasiopa is given. Key words: Lasiopa aksarayiensis, L. aktasii, new species, Stratiomyidae, Turkey, taxonomy Introduction Lasiopa Brullé was placed in the Nemotelinae by Woodley (2001) in his cladistic analysis based on morphologic characters of Stratiomyidae. The genus is characterised by the eyes separated by a narrow band-shaped frons in the male and the broader frons in all females (1), usually dark antennae consist of two basal segments and 6 flagellomeres, the last 2–3 flagellomeres being densely or sparsely haired in some other species (2), the proboscis is slender or stout, long or short (3), the scutellum without any spine-like processes (4), legs entirely black or kness and tarsal segments largely yellow (5), and the abdomen is black, with a pair of abdominal side-markings on tergites 2–4, being usally narrow, stripe-like and well separated, but fused medially in some females (6).

(Diptera: Stratiomyidae) Larval Development
DIRECT INJURY,MYIASIS,FORENSICS Inﬂuence of Resources on Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) Larval Development 1,2 3 1 TRINH T. X. NGUYEN, JEFFERY K. TOMBERLIN, AND SHERAH VANLAERHOVEN J. Med. Entomol. 50(4): 898Ð906 (2013); DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1603/ME12260 ABSTRACT Arthropod development can be used to determine the time of colonization of human remains to infer a minimum postmortem interval. The black soldier ßy, Hermetia illucens L. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is native to North America and is unique in that its larvae can consume a wide range of decomposing organic material, including carrion. Larvae development was observed on six re- sources: control poultry feed, liver, manure, kitchen waste, fruits and vegetables, and Þsh rendering. Larvae fed manure were shorter, weighed less, and took longer to develop. Kitchen waste produced longer and heavier larvae, whereas larvae fed Þsh had almost 100% mortality. Black soldier ßies can colonize human remains, which in many instances can coincide with food and organic wastes. Therefore, it is necessary to understand black soldier ßy development on different food resources other than carrion tissue to properly estimate their age when recovered from human remains. KEY WORDS forensic entomology, development time, food resource, minimum postmortem in- terval, waste management Forensic entomologists use arthropod evidence col- veloped up to 2 d slower than larvae reared on other lected from human remains to estimate the period of experimental tissues, such as lung, kidney, heart, and insect activity and infer time of colonization (Benecke brain. Similarly, Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: 2001). The time of colonization is a portion of the Calliphoridae) developed at a faster rate, and were postcolonization interval, which equates to the min- larger, when fed pork instead of beef (Clark et al.

This is the first report of our study on the family Lauxaniidae of Malaysia based on the specimens collected by the senior author under the 1986 and 1988 joint Japanese-Malaysian projects of the “Systematic and Ecological Surveys on Some Plant-parasitic Microarthropods in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah”. Up to the present, sixteen species of lauxaniid-flies have been recorded fragmentary from Malaya by Walker (1856), Kert&sz (1900), Malloch (1927 & 1929) and others. Six new species of the genera Noonam$a, Phobeticomyia and Poecilomyza are described in this paper. Judging from the results of our study, it may be considered that some more species of Noonamyia occur in the forests in Sabah. The dominancy of the genus, Homoneura van der Wulp, will be exhibited in the next paper.
