Some years ago it came to my knowledge that this genus occurs in Japan, and this stimulated my particular interest in this genus on account of its distributional pattern. With the help of many entomologists there have been available for my study a good number of species of the genus collected in Japan and Taiwan in addition to the already described three from North America. A revision of the genus on the basis of these species is here attempted in the hope that it should engage the attention of entomologists in both Asia and America to this interesting genus, since it is quite possible that our knowledge still covers small part of the genus.

Diostrucus morimotoi sp. nov. is distinctive in having additional setulae on scutellum, and extensively yellow legs and it is described from southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Diostrclcus maculatus Negrobov, 1980, described from the Primorsky Territory is here recorded from many localities in southern Korea.

Introduction The hydrophorine genus Diostracus Loew, 1861, includes dolichopodids living on wet rocks and stones in mountain streams.Although it is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere from Europe to North America through Eastern Asia. it prospers extremely in temperate Eastern Asia, where 62 out of 66 named species are distributed. This genus is known from Europe, the best-surveyed region for dolichopodid fauna. only by Diostrucus Zeucostomus (Loew) from Alps, and from N. America by three species. Numbers of species in each region in Eastern Asia are as follows: Far East Russia (5). Japan (12), Taiwan (3), China (l), Burma (4), Nepal (37+1 unnamed).

B iCkel 2 The Australian Museum, 6–8 College Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia; email: [email protected] The genus Paraliancalus was originally proposed by Parent (1938) for the single endemic Hawaiian species Liancalus metallicus Grimshaw, 1901, a widespread species found on most of the main Hawaiian islands. it is one of the largest Hawaiian dolichopodids, being some 8 mm in length. Possibly due to this large size and assuming the genus contained only one species, dolichopodid workers have not paid close attention to specific morphological characters of the specimens, assuming all belonged to the type species, P. metallicus . Recently, examination of a few male specimens in the Bishop Museum by one of us (DJB), showed that the genus is actually represented in Hawaii by two morpho-species, both of which are similar in appearance but differ in leg and genitalic characters. After borrowing specimens from the University of Hawai‘i insect Museum and examining all material in the Bishop Museum, we conclude that there are indeed two species of Paraliancalus in Hawai‘i. We herein describe and illustrate the second species as Para - liancalus laciniafemur , n. sp ., which is thus far known only from the island of Maui.

Keywords: Checklist, Oriental, Taxonomy, Biodiversity, Inventory, India diptera. I. Introduction The family Dolichopodidae, commonly known as Long legged flies, are one of the most diverse families of Diptera (Grichanov,1999). Adult dolichopodids vary in size from about 1-9 mm in length and can be recognized by their elongate legs, reduced wing venation, aristate antennae, and relatively slender build. Most species are metallic greenish-blue to greenish-bronze, while some others are non-metallic yellowish (e.g., some species of Achalcus Loew, Argyrochlamys Lamb, Neurigona Rondani, Xanthochlorus Loew and Xanthina Aldrich), or brown to blackish (e.g., several species of Micromorphus Mik and Medetera Fischer von Waldheim). Dolichopodids are widespread and are found in all zoogeographic regions (Robinson,1970; Dyte, 1975; Dyte and Smith ,1980; Bickel and Dyte, 1989; Negrobov, 1991; Pollet et al., 2004). In general, adults and larvae prefer moist environments including stream and lake margins, humid forests, saltmarshes, seashores, and freshwater seepages, where they often occur in large numbers.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Czech University of Life Sciences, Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources Department of Zoology and Fisheries, Praha 6, 165 21 Czech Republic. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Faunistic data is given for 43 species of Dolichopodidae from the Iberian Peninsula. Altogether nine species are recorded for the first time from Portugal and six species from Spain. Three species are described as new to science: Chrysotimus meridionalis sp. nov. (Spain, Portugal), Hercostomus ibericus sp. nov. (Spain), and Sciapus negrobovi sp. nov. (Portugal). Key words: Dolichopodidae, Iberian Peninsula, Spain, Portugal, new species, new records Introduction The Dolichopodidae, or long-legged flies, are small to medium sized flies of slender built with a body length of 1– 12 mm. Most species have a conspicuous metallic green shiny body and relatively long legs. It is a large family of Diptera comprising some 7400 described species occurring in all biogeographical regions (Pape et al. 2011). In Europe more than 800 species and subspecies are recorded (Pollet 2004). Adults are predators on soft-bodied invertebrates and some are important control agents of pest species.

    FLY TIMES ISSUE 41, October, 2008 Stephen D. Gaimari, editor Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch California Department of Food & Agriculture 3294 Meadowview Road Sacramento, California 95832, USA Tel: (916) 262-1131 FAX: (916) 262-1190 Email: [email protected] Welcome to the latest issue of Fly Times! Let me first thank everyone for sending in such interesting articles – I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together! With that, please let me encourage all of you to consider contributing articles that may be of interest to the Diptera community. Fly Times offers a great forum to report on your research activities and to make requests for taxa being studied, as well as to report interesting observations about flies, to discuss new and improved methods, to advertise opportunities for dipterists, and to report on or announce meetings relevant to the community. This is also a great place to report on your interesting (and hopefully fruitful) collecting activities! The electronic version of the Fly Times continues to be hosted on the North American Dipterists Society website at http://www.nadsdiptera.org/News/FlyTimes/Flyhome.htm. The Diptera community would greatly appreciate your independent contributions to this newsletter. For this issue, I want to again thank all the contributors for sending me so many great articles! That said, we need even more reports on trips, collections, methods, updates, and anything else you can think of about flies, with all the associated digital images you wish to provide. Feel free to share your opinions or provide ideas on how to improve the newsletter (I am very happy to hear ways that I can enhance it!).
