True Flies (Diptera) of Keele University True Flies (Diptera) of Keele University David W. Emley List Updated 2nd April 2014 Diptera are insects that have just one pair of wings as opposed to all other winged insects that have two pairs. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and are, with a few exceptions, the study of specialists rather than the casual naturalist. The diptera in this list were recorded by random searching. Most of the records come from the area between the former sewage works and the entrance from Lymes Road. Here there are plenty of umbellifers, brambles and thistles. Barnes Dell is also good for shade-loving species. It is difficult to categorise the diptera as they have not been well recorded in the county. However, amongst them are a few indicators of old woodland eg. Brachypalpoides lentus and Xylophagus ater. Arctophila superbiens is a northern species at the southern end of its range while Megasyrphus annulipes and Criorhina floccosa are scarce species in Staffordshire generally. The following are described as 'Notable' in English Nature's 'Red Data Book of Insects’: Pteromicra angustipennis, Arctophila superbiens, Brachypalpoides lentus, Didea fasciata, Megasyrphus erratica and Platycheirus tarsalis.

    Dörge et al. Parasites Vectors (2020) 13:461 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-04316-7 Parasites & Vectors RESEARCH Open Access Incompletely observed: niche estimation for six frequent European horsefy species (Diptera, Tabanoidea, Tabanidae) Dorian D. Dörge1*, Sarah Cunze1 and Sven Klimpel1,2 Abstract Background: More than 170 species of tabanids are known in Europe, with many occurring only in limited areas or having become very rare in the last decades. They continue to spread various diseases in animals and are responsible for livestock losses in developing countries. The current monitoring and recording of horsefies is mainly conducted throughout central Europe, with varying degrees of frequency depending on the country. To the detriment of tabanid research, little cooperation exists between western European and Eurasian countries. Methods: For these reasons, we have compiled available sources in order to generate as complete a dataset as possi- ble of six horsefy species common in Europe. We chose Haematopota pluvialis, Chrysops relictus, C. caecutiens, Tabanus bromius, T. bovinus and T. sudeticus as ubiquitous and abundant species within Europe. The aim of this study is to esti- mate the distribution, land cover usage and niches of these species. We used a surface-range envelope (SRE) model in accordance with our hypothesis of an underestimated distribution based on Eurocentric monitoring regimes. Results: Our results show that all six species have a wide range in Eurasia, have a broad climatic niche and can there- fore be considered as widespread generalists. Areas with modelled habitat suitability cover the observed distribution and go far beyond these. This supports our assumption that the current state of tabanid monitoring and the recorded distribution signifcantly underestimates the actual distribution.

Ian Cross Tabanidae The Highland Horsefly Recording Project Philip F Entwistle The Highland Horsefly Recording Project (2004-05) Philip F Entwistle From the Scheme Organiser Call-in for Larger Brachycera Records I must apologise for the less than satisfactory feedback, due to family illness and moving to Scotland. This was at a time when we were moving towards the proposed atlas. However, assistance from the Biological Records Centre (Centre for Ecology and Hydrology) is getting things back on track. I would like to thank the staff there for their help. This is now a call-in for all Larger Brachycera records not already submitted to the Scheme. The plan was for you to have this winter to identify and collate, submitting any new/outstand- ing records by 31st March, 2008. However, as the L.B. Newsletter did not appear last time (Darwyn’s computer crashed and it was lost) you will need sufficient notice. Therefore, you will have another field season but all records are required by 30th September, 2008. Even if you onlyhave a handful of records of the commoner species,please send them as they all help to build up the picture of distribution and phenology; do not assume they will come via other sources, please send your original data. It is planned to make all the data available through the NBN Gateway in due course.

  • Scottish Pollinating Flies
    Scottish Pollinating Flies Introduction to True flies True flies form one of the largest and most diverse orders of insects called Diptera (meaning two wings). There are around 160,000 species worldwide in 150 families, with 7,200 species from over 90 families recorded in the UK. They inhabit every continent and almost every terrestrial and freshwater niche on the planet which is testament to their adaptability. True flies differ from other insects in that they have retained only their front pair of wings, with the hind pair having evolved into small club-shaped appendages called ‘halteres’ which act as gyroscopes and facilitate greater aerobatic agility. They provide a range of ecological services including pollination, controlling pest species, the decomposition of organic material, and supplementing the dietary requirements of a wide range of other organisms. Pollinating flies and other dipterans Of the four most significant orders of pollinating insects, flies are the most abundant. Approximately 1,500 of the 7,200 British species are thought to contribute to pollination. Hoverflies (family Syrphidae) are especially significant pollinators, but some other families (the house flies and their relatives) are just as important. The remainder of the 90+ families contribute relatively few, or no pollinating species. True flies contribute to more pollination in Scotland than any other order of insects, mainly due to the sparsity, absence or selectiveness of bees in colder, northern upland habitats. Below are some examples that demonstrate the diversity of true flies that may be encountered.

  • Cheshire Wildlife Trust
    Cheshire Wildlife Trust Heteroptera and Diptera surveys on the Manchester Mosses with PANTHEON analysis by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] on behalf of Lancashire and Cheshire Wildlife Trusts Version 1.0 September 2018 Lancashire Wildlife Trust Page 1 of 35 Abstract This report describes the results of a series of surveys on the Manchester mosslands covering heteroptera (shield bugs, plant bugs and allies), craneflies, hoverflies, and a number of other fly families. Sites covered are the Holcroft Moss reserve of Cheshire Wildlife Trust and the Astley, Cadishead and Little Woolden Moss reserves of Lancashire Wildlife Trust. A full list is given of the 615 species recorded and their distribution across the four sites. This species list is interpreted in terms of feeding guilds and habitat assemblages using the PANTHEON software developed by Natural England. This shows a strong representation in the sample of species associated with shaded woodland floor and tall sward and scrub. The national assemblage of peatland species is somewhat less well represented, but includes a higher proportion of rare or scarce species. A comparison is also made with PANTHEON results for similar surveys across a similar range of habitats in the Delamere Forest. This suggests that the invertebrate diversity value of the Manchester Mosses is rather less, perhaps as a result of their fragmented geography and proximity to past and present sources of transport and industrial pollution. Introduction The Manchester Mosses comprise several areas of lowland bog or mire embedded in the flat countryside between Warrington and Manchester. They include several areas designated as SSSIs in view of the highly distinctive and nationally important habitat, such as Risley Moss, Holcroft Moss, Bedford Moss, and Astley Moss.

During the 20-year project “The Ecology and Zoogeography of the Lepidoptera of the Near East,” we regularly collected blood-feeding flies, resulting in 11 additional species of Tabanidae for Jordan. The new records are: Atylotus quadrifarius (Loew, 1874), Chrysops caecutiens (Linnaeus, 1758), Dasyrhamphis nigritus (Fabricius, 1794), Haematopota pallens Loew, 1871, Nemorius irritans (Ricardo, 1901), Philipomyia graeca (Fabricius, 1794), Tabanus cordiger Meigen, 1820, Tabanus taeniola Palisot de Beauvois, 1806, Tabanus quatuornotatus Meigen, 1820, Tabanus separatus Effllatoun, 1930, and Tabanus spectabilis Loew, 1858. Most of the new records (10/11) are of Palearctic origin; of these, six are of a Mediterranean and one each of West Palearctic, Euroasiatic, Irano-Turanian, and Eremic providence.
