    A NEW GENUS OF MICRODONTINE FLIES (DIPTERA: SYRPHIDAE) WITH NOTES ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE SUBFAMILY BY F. CHRISTIAN THOMPSON I discovered the following new genus of Syrphidae while reviewing the Neotropical Microdontinae. I had planned to put aside its de- scription until my study of the subfamily was finished. However, publication of a second species, assignable to it by van Doesburg (1966) has necessitated publishing a name now for this genus so that it can be included in the Catalog of South American Diptera. Paragodon, new genus Very small (4-5 mm.) microdontine flies. Face simple (slightly produced in paragoides); cheeks absent, eyes bordering on the oral opening; eyes dichoptic in both sexes; occiput evenly developed. An- tennae short, about one-half as long as face; aristae short and thick- ened. Thorax about as long as broad; pleura bare except mesopleura pilose and meta.pleura with microscopic, pile; scutellum without apical spines and fringe; metasterna undeveloped and bare; metathoracic spiracles without hair fringes. Legs simple, with no basal setal patches on the femora and with cicatrices only on the hind femora. Vings without the spurious vein, with all apical crossveins straight. Abdomen oval, lateral margins slightly emarginate and rolled under ventrally, with ISt sternite bare and st spiracles without hair fringes. Genitalia simple; ejaculatory apodeme simple, apical por- tion not triangularly flared; ejaculato.ry sac not sclerotized; ejacula- tory process single, short, not posteriorly fused to ejaculatory hood; ejaculatory hood with anterior ventral portion elongate; sustentacu- lar apodeme present, double, fused anteriorly to base of ejaculatory Contribution no. 1392 from the Systematics and Morphology Research Laboratory, Department of Entomology, University of Massachusetts.

    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/18582 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation. Author: Reemer, Menno Title: Unravelling a hotchpotch : phylogeny and classification of the Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) Issue Date: 2012-03-13 7 Review and phylogenetic evaluation of associations between Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) and ants (Hymeno- ptera: Formicidae) Abstract. The immature stages of hoverflies of the subfamily Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) are known to develop in ants nests, as predators of the ant brood. The present paper reviews published and unpublished records of associations of Microdontinae with ants, in order to discuss the following questions: 1. are alle Microdontinae associated with ants?; 2. are Microdontinae associated with all ants?; 3. are particular clades of Microdontinae associated with particular clades of ants? A total number of 103 records of associations between the groups are evaluated, relating to 42 species of Microdontinae belonging to 14 (sub)genera, and to 58 species of ants belonging to 23 genera and four subfamilies. Known associations are mapped onto the most recent phylogenetic hypotheses of both ants and Microdontinae. The taxa of Microdontinae found in association with ants appear to occur scattered throughout their phylogenetic tree, and one of the supposedly most basal taxa (Mixogaster) is known to be associated with ants. This suggests that associations with ants evolved early in the history of the subfamily, and have remained a predominant feature of their lifestyle. When considering the phylogeny of ants, associations with Microdontinae are only known from the subfamilies Dolichoderinae, Formicinae, Myrmicinae and Pseudomyrmecinae, which are all part of the the so-called ‘formicoid’ clade.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e57331. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e57331 Abstract Syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a cosmopolitan group of flower-visiting insects, though their diversity and importance as pollinators is understudied and often unappreciated. Data on 1,477 Syrphid occurrences and floral associations from three years of pollinator collection (2017-2019) in the Southern Illinois region of Illinois, United States, are here compiled and analyzed. We collected 69 species in 36 genera off of the flowers of 157 plant species. While a richness of 69 species is greater than most other families of flower-visiting insects in our region, a species accumulation curve and regional species pool estimators suggest that at least 33 species are yet uncollected.

Species status assessment of Tobusch Fishhook Cactus (Sclerocactus brevihamatus ssp. tobuschii (W.T. Marshall) N.P. Taylor). U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southwest Region, Albuquerque, New Mexico. 65 pp. + 2 appendices. i Tobusch Fishhook Cactus Species Status Assessment - Final EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tobusch fishhook cactus is a small cactus, with curved “fishhook” spines, that is endemic to the Edwards Plateau of Texas. It was federally listed as endangered on November 7, 1979 (44 FR 64736) as Ancistrocactus tobuschii. At that time, fewer than 200 individuals had been documented from 4 sites. Tobusch fishhook cactus is now confirmed in 8 central Texas counties: Bandera, Edwards, Kerr, Kimble, Kinney, Real, Uvalde, and Val Verde. In recent years, over 4,000 individuals have been documented in surveys and monitoring plots. Recent phylogenetic evidence supports classifying Tobusch fishhook cactus as Sclerocactus brevihamatus ssp. tobuschii. It is distinguished morphologically from its closest relative, S. brevihamatus ssp. brevihamatus, on the basis of yellow versus pink- or brown-tinged flowers, fewer radial spines, and fewer ribs. Additionally, subspecies tobuschii is endemic to limestone outcrops of the Edwards Plateau, while subspecies brevihamatus occurs in alluvial soils in the Tamaulipan Shrublands and Chihuahuan Desert. A recent investigation found genetic divergence between the two subspecies, although they may interact genetically in a narrow area where their ranges overlap.
