Natura Somogyiensis 1
DOI:10.24394/NatSom.2001.1.423 Natura Somogyiensis 1 423-424 Kaposvár, 2001 Somogy megye fejeslegyeinek katalógusa (Diptera: Conopidae) TÓTH SÁNDOR TÓTH S.: Checklist of thick-headed flies of Somogy county (Diptera: Conopidae) Abstract: Out of the 40 thick-headed fly species recorded in Hungary, 25 taxa are proved to be found in Somogy county. The fauna of the area is poorly known. Some of the relatively rare species known from this area are Conops vesicularis Linnaeus, 1761, Dalmannia dorsalis (Fabricius, 1794), Leopoldius coronatus (Rondani, 1857), Myopa polystigma Rondani, 1857, Thecophora distincta (Meigen, 1824), Zodion notatum (Meigen, 1804). Bevezetés Magyarország fejeslegyeinek kutatottságát jónak nevezhetjük, azonban a fa unáról összefoglaló tanulmány még nem készült. A fajok száma mintegy 40-re becsülhető. A régebbi faunisztikai irodalomban nem sikerült Somogy megyére vonatkozó fejeslégy közlést találni. Csupán a területen szervezett programok keretében készült 3 dolgozat (CSIBY 1981, TÓTH 1992, 1995), továbbá a pub likálatlan adatokból összeállított kézirat (TÓTH előkészületben) tartalmaz ide vágó adatokat. Ennek figyelembe vételével, Somogy megyéből jelenleg 25 fejeslégy faj előfordulását tekinthetjük igazoltnak. A fauna kutatottságát köze pesnek mondhatjuk. A hazai fajok elterjedési és gyakorisági viszonyainak érté kelése még nem történt meg. Ezért egyelőre csak általánosságban beszélhetünk ritka fajokról. A faunalista tagjai közül ilyenek pl. az alábbiak: Conops vesicu laris Linnaeus, 1761, Dalmannia dorsalis (Fabricius, -
CONOPIDAE IM BALTISCHEN BERNSTEIN Nr
download Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde aus dem Staatlichen Museum für Naturkunde in Stuttgart Stuttgart I.Juni 1966 Nr. 154 Conopidae im Baltischen BernsMn (Diptera; Cyclorrhapha) Von Willi Hennig, Stuttgart Mit 27 Abbildungen Die Conopidae sind — ganz abgesehen von ihrer eigenartigen Morphologie und Lebensweise — eine besonders interessante Gruppe, weil sie nach Ansicht verschie- dener Autoren der Gesamtheit aller übrigen Schizophora als Schwestergruppe gegen- überstehen. Dazu ist allerdings zu bedenken, daß in die „Familie Conopidae" bis in die allerjüngste Zeit die Stylogastridae eingeschlossen wurden. Enderlein (1936) ver- wendet für die beiden Schwestergruppen die Namen Archischiza (mit der einzigen Familie Conopidae) und Muscaria (alle übrigen Schizophora). Seguy (1951 in Grasse) nennt sie, weniger glücklich, Conopoidea und Muscoidea. Auch Hendel (1936/37 in Kükenthal -Krumbach) und Rohdendorf (1964) vertreten die Annahme, daß zwischen den beiden Gruppen ein Schwestergruppenverhältnis besteht. Rohdendorf bringt das in seiner Stammbaumzeichnung (p. 265, Fig. 85) und Hendel mit Worten (p. 1876) zum Ausdruck: „Die sonst spezialisierten Conopiden zweigen danach vor der Gabe- lung der Schizophoren in Acalyptratae und Calyptratae ab ..." In ihren Systemen lassen beide Autoren ihre Überzeugung allerdings nicht erkennen; denn beide sind Anhänger einer typologischen Systematik: Ihre Systeme sind keine genauen Darstel- lungen der von ihnen angenommenen phylogenetischen Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen. Mit der Frage, ob die Annahme eines Schwestergruppenverhältnisses zwischen den Archischiza und den Muscaria (bzw. Conopoidea und Muscoidea im Sinne von Seguy) berechtigt ist, habe ich mich früher (1958) auseinandergesetzt mit dem auch heute noch gültigen Ergebnis, daß man „trotz der noch durchaus unzulänglichen Begründung das Bestehen eines Schwestergruppenverhältnisses zwischen den Conopidae und den ,übrigen Schizophora' doch wohl für wahrscheinlich halten" muß. -

Conops Quadrifasciatus Geer 1776 – Species Registered in 2016 in the Republic of Moldova
Sustainable use, protection of animal world and forest 172 management in the context of climate change CONOPS QUADRIFASCIATUS GEER 1776 – SPECIES REGISTERED IN 2016 IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA Asea M. Timus Institute of Zoology, Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Chişinau, e-mal: [email protected] In spring of 2016the Conops quadrifasciatus De Geer, 1776 species (Diptera, Conopidae) was recorded in the Republic of Moldova. The specimens of this spe- cies were observed in 03.IV.2016 on the plants from campus of SAUM. The species is aentomological curiosity, because imago presents phenomenon of the mimicrism and is very similar to wasps. For the first time in native literature, the species was mentions in “Animal world. Insects. 1983”: “Species widespread in the USSR, Eastern Europe and Asia Minor is “bolishegolovka 4-h polosnaia” C.quadrifasciatus”. According to the passage it goes without saying that, the species is widespread in the Republic of Moldova too. Other sources indicated that the species spreads from Europe to Siberia, and most often in Central Europe. According to the database of the Fauna Europaea, this species is re- corded in the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Czech Repub- lic, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithua- nia, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden. For Moldova is indicated as – absent, but for neighbouring states as follows: Romania – present and Ukraine – absent. Description. The adult has 10-15 mm body length, and due to long legs has a great look insect. The dominant color is dark brown (Fig. 1). The head is large, dark brown and with long spindly antennae. -

Conopid Recording Scheme Newsletter 6
.. Conopid Recording Scheme [NCDRPORAT[NG 1HE LONatOPTEIUDA£ STIJDY GROUP Newsletter No.6 June 1995 Further disruption during 1994/95 continues to keep me fully occupied. A change of employers has meant a return to Cardiff after an absence of more than 10 years, with all the upheaval that entails. A house-move and change of address will occur in the near future (I hope!), but in the meantime all correspondence should continue to be sent to my Cirencester address. The bulk of this newsletter comprises a set of draft keys to the British fauna, prepared originally for the conopid and larger Brachycera identification workshop at Preston Montford earlier this year, and incorporating useful comments arising at that time. These keys include reference to the more likely of the potential additional species from the European fauna, many of which are very simiJar to recognised British species. I have not attempted to include these within the keys, but have instead given details of 'alert characteristics' which, if noticed, should serve to mark out the specimen concerned as needing further investigation as a poss~ble addition. Many of the potential additions are very widespread in Europe, but would almost certainly be overlooked by recorders relying on current British keys. Any comments on the success or failings of these keys would be gratefully received, as would sight of any specimens which don't fit, or which exhibit any of the noted 'alert characteristics•. All recorders are urged especially to be on the look out for Conops vitellinus, which looks very much like our C quadrifsciatus. -

Antipa", Bucuresti] The present paper is based an extensive material of the family Cono pidae deposited in the collections of the Muzeul de Istarie Naturala "Gr. -mtipa", Bucuresti. We have found in the revised material altogether 39 species of this family collected on the whole territory of Rumania. We include also further 6 species which we did not find in the revised material but the occurrence of which in Rumania is known from the literature. At the present time 45 species of the family Conopidae are known on the territory of Rumania but not even this number is definite. Kröber (1936, 1939) records e. g. 57 species from Italy, 35 from Greece and 53 from France. Although the occurrence of conopid-flies is more frequent in warmer southern regions, in Czechoslovakia, where the family Conopidae has been studied very extensively [ Chväla, 1961, 1965), 52 species have been recorded and 8 other species are expected to be found here. The study and collecting of Conopidae especially in southern sandy regions of Rumania [ Bucuresti and Dobrogea Regions) will result without no doubt in the discovery of further interesting species. The first recmd on this family in Rumania was published by Frivaldszky [1876] who recorded 2 species - Zodion ctnereum Fabr. -

Proceedings of the 5Th International Symposium on Biological Control of Arthropods (Eds
306 Poster 31: Vespula Biocontrol in New Zealand Revisited B. Brown1 and R. Groenteman2 1Landcare Research, Lincoln, Canterbury, NEW ZEALAND, [email protected], 2Landcare Research, Lincoln, Canterbury, NEW ZEALAND, [email protected] Social wasps are a pest in many temperate regions of the world, and much research effort has been invested in developing control strategies (Beggs et al., 2011). In New Zealand, where there are no indigenous social wasps, introduced Vespula species have become invasive. The German wasp, Vespula germanica (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), native to Europe and northern Africa, was first to arrive in New Zealand. Its arrival is dated to 1944, when queens hibernating in a shipment of aircraft parts made it from Europe at the end of World War II (Thomas, 1960). Despite efforts to eradicate nests, V. germanica quickly spread through most of the North Island and parts of the upper South Island. Arrival of the common wasp, Vespula vulgaris (L.) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), which is native to Europe and parts of Asia, is less clear. It may have arrived several times since the early 20th century, but it only became abundant in the 1970s (Donovan, 1984). It spread rapidly and displaced the German wasp, especially in the upper South Island beech forest habitat (Harris, 1991). Both species are now widespread throughout New Zealand, and in some habitats can be the most common insect encountered (Beggs, 2001; Gardner-Gee and Beggs, 2013). Nest densities can reach 34 nests per hectare (Moller et al., 1990), with inter-annual population dynamics highly responsive to wasp density and to spring weather conditions, similar to the dynamics in the native range (Lester et al., 2017). -

This work summarises the presence of Conopid flies in the Gdańskie Pomerania (northern Poland) based on the collected material of over 400 specimens and literature information. In total 17 species have been recorded throughout the course of 30 years faunistic study. We present distribution maps of all species occurring in the studied area, colour photographs and insights on the biology of individual species. KEY WORDS: Diptera, Conopidae, thick-headed flies, bee-grabbers, wasp-grabbers, faunistics, new records, Eastern Pomerania, northern Poland WSTĘP Wyślepkowate Conopidae LATREILLE, 1802 to rodzina muchówek będących wewnętrznymi pasożytami błonkówek, reprezentowana w Polsce przez około 50 gatunków (SOSZYŃSKI 2007, MEI et STUKE 2008). Odgrywają one istotną rolę w przyrodzie, regulując liczebność swoich żywicieli. Owady dorosłe z podrodziny Conopinae LATREILLE, 1802 spotyka się raczej pojedynczo, czasem w ilości kilku osobników, na kwiatach lub w pobliżu gniazd os społecznych. Gatunki z rodzaju Myopa FABRICIUS, 1775 występują czasem w większej liczbie na kwitnących drzewach i krzewach (wierzby, głogi, czeremcha). Przedstawicieli rodzaju Thecophora RÓNDANI, 1845 spotkać można na silnie nasłonecznionych i kserotermicznych łąkach. Wszystkie te miejsca bytowania są nieprzypadkowe i powiązane z najbardziej optymalnym miejscem do spotkania żądłówek - ich potencjalnych żywicieli.
