The new species are Cor- nutrypeta chishuiensis Chen sp. nov., C. motuonia Chen sp. nov., Hoplandromyia hubeiensis Chen sp. nov., H. motuonica Chen sp. nov., Magnimyiolia disrupta Chen sp. nov., M. tengchongnica Chen sp. nov., M. tibetana Chen et Wang sp. nov. and M. yunnanica Chen et Wang sp. nov. Keys to the known species of the genera Cornutrypeta Han et Wang and Hop- landromyia Bezzi from the World, and the genera Magnimyiolia Shiraki from East Asia are updated and provided. C. spin- ifrons (Schroeder) is newly recorded from China, and the female of C. hunanica Chen et Wang is recorded, described and illustrated for the first time. Illustrations of the type of M. huanana Wang and a new distribution of C. hunanica Chen et Wang are provided. Key words: Diptera, Tephritidae, Trypetinae, New species, China Introduction Recent field trips and sorting of several museum and donated materials to Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZCAS) of Cornutrypeta Han et Wang, Hoplandromyia Bezzi and Magnimyiolia Shiraki has yielded several new species, together with new information on previously known taxa. These new findings enable an updating of the present knowledge of these genera, all of which belong in the tribe Trypetini in subfamily Trypetinae. The additional 8 new species are Cornutrypeta chishuiensis Chen sp. nov., C. motuonia Chen sp. nov., Hoplandromyia hubeiensis Chen sp. nov., H. motuonica Chen sp. nov., Magnimyiolia disrupta Chen sp. nov., M.tengchongnica Chen sp. nov., M. tibetana Chen et Wang sp. nov. and M. yunnanica Chen et Wang sp. nov. Keys to the species of Cornutrypeta Han et Wang and Hoplandromyia Bezzi from the World and Magnimyiolia Shiraki from East Asia are updated. Additionally, C. spinifrons (Schroeder) is recorded from China for the first time. The female of C. hunanica Chen et Wang is also newly recorded. Terminology and abbreviations The general morphological terminology follows White et al. (1999) and McAlpine (1981), while head descriptions of Cornutrypeta Han et Wang follow Han et al. (1993). Lengths of body and wing were measured in millimeters. The following acronyms are used for specimen depositories: IZCAS (Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100101, P. R. China), IPPE (Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200032, P. R. China), HU (Hebei University, Baoding, 071002, P.R. China), YU (Yangtze University, Jingzhou, 434023, P.R. China). Cornutrypeta Han et Wang, 1993 Cornutrypeta Han et Wang, 1993: 169. Type species: Trypeta superciliata Frey, 1935, by original designation. Accepted by D. Bickel: 2 Sept. 2013; published: 16 Sept. 2013 333 Diagnosis. Cornutrypeta is a sexually dimorphic genus. The generic diagnosis is only available for males, with the females being almost impossible to separate from those in the closely related genus Trypeta Meigen. Males differ from other Oriental and Palaearctic Trypetinae genera by the following combination of characters: (1) 3-5 frontal setae with at least 2 anterior ones greatly enlarged among remaining normal setae; (2) frons enlarged to accommodate the extensive elaboration of the anterior frontal setae; (3) glans with median granulate sclerite large, apicodorsal rod usually present (Han et al., 1993). The larvae of Cornutrypeta spinifrons (Shroeder) have been reported from Europe to mine the leaves of Solidago vergaurea and Aster sp. (Asteraceae) (White, 1988; Han et al., 1993). This is the only biological information available for the genus. With the addition of 2 new species described below, 14 species of this genus are recorded from the Palaearctic and Oriental regions, 12 of which occur in China.

Found in a single locality (Parszowice) in Lower Silesia, this species was recorded in a garden on Bryonia alba. Notes on the identification, biology and remarks on the general distribution and origin of the northern populations of this species are given. Colour photographs of the habitus and live specimens are also provided. Key words: Goniglossum wiedemanni, Carpomyini, species new for Poland, Lower Silesia, general distribution, Bryonia alba. INTRODUCTION Species from the family Tephritidae, the larvae of which develop in fruit, belong to the subfamilies Dacinae and Trypetinae. They occur most numerously in regions with a tropical or subtropical climate, where they pose a serious economic problem: in some areas they give rise to crop losses worth many millions of dollars. In central Europe, there are only a few species whose larvae feed on fruit; they belong exclusively to the tribes Carpomyini and Trypetini from the subfamily Trypetinae.

  • A Phylogenetic Study of the Family Tephritidae (Insecta: Diptera) Using a Mitochondrial DNA Sequence
    Proceedings of 6th International Fruit Fly Symposium 6–10 May 2002, Stellenbosch, South Africa pp. 439–443 A phylogenetic study of the family Tephritidae (Insecta: Diptera) using a mitochondrial DNA sequence P. Fernández, D. Segura, C. Callejas & M.D. Ochando* Departamento de Genética, Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas, Universidad Complutense, 28040 – Madrid, Spain Achievements in tephritid taxonomy have greatly contributed to both basic research and pest management programmes. However, despite the large amount of taxonomic data available, the higher classification of the family Tephritidae is still a matter of debate. A molecular approach could help to provide a more accurate classification. A molecular study was therefore undertaken to gain insight into the phylogenetic relationships within the family Tephritidae. A DNA region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II gene was compared in species representing six genera of the family, namely Ceratitis, Rhagoletis, Dacus, Bactrocera, Anastrepha and Toxotrypana. A dendrogram was constructed using the neighbour-joining method with Liriomyza huidobrensis and Drosophila yakuba as outgroups. Two main clusters were obtained in the tree, the first grouping being the Ceratitis species, C. capitata, C. rosa, and C. cosyra, and the second showing two main branches, one for Dacus, Bactrocera and Rhagoletis, and the other for Anastrepha and Toxotrypana. The results are discussed in relation to published phylogenies.

C. 20560-0168, USA; e-mail: [email protected] DAVID L. HANCOCK P.O. Box 2464, Cairns, Queensland 4870, Australia Abstract Tephritidae collected from New Caledonia by M.E. Irwin, E.I. Schlinger, and D.W. Webb were stud- ied and identified. The 18 species represented include 3 new species, Austronevra irwini, Ceratitella schlingeri, and Euphranta hardyi, and 6 species reported from New Caledonia for the first time. The total number of Tephritidae from the island is increased from 16 to 25. Introduction D. Elmo Hardy was one of the most prolific taxonomists to study the family Tephritidae. He pro- posed more than 460 tephritid species names, second only to E.M. Hering in this regard, and he named the most valid species (Norrbom et al., 1999a). His large monographic works and cataloging efforts on the Oriental and Australasian faunas have paved the way for continued progress by his suc- cessors. Therefore we are honored to dedicate this paper to his memory. The fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) fauna of New Caledonia is poorly known. Only 15 species were recorded by Norrbom et al. (1999b), 11 belonging to the genus Bactrocera. Euphranta lemnis- cata (Enderlein) was also recently recorded by Hancock & Drew (2003).

    Res.33 Bull. Pl. Prot. Japan No. 48: 33～42 (2012) Res. Bull. Pl. Prot. Japan No. 48 Scientific Note Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) Intercepted by Japanese Import Plant Quarantine at Narita International Airport Toshihisa Kamiji （Research Division, Yokohama Plant Protection Station, 1‒16‒10 Shin-yamashita, Naka-ku, Yokohama 231‒0801, Japan; [email protected]ff.go.jp） Abstract: Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) intercepted by Japanese import plant quarantine at Narita International Airport between April 2008 and March 2011 were examined. As a result, five species in three subfamilies (Dacinae, Bactrocera psidii; Tephritinae, Acant hiophilus helianthi, Oxyaciura tibialis; Trypetinae, Carpomya schineri, Euphran- ta signatifacies) were newly recorded in plant quarantine. Diagnoses for these five fruit flies are presented. Key words: Bactrocera psidii, Acanthiophilus helianthi, Oxyaciura tibialis, Carpomya schineri, Euphranta signati- facies Introduction A great variety of plants from many countries around the world have been inspected by Japanese import plant quarantine at Narita International Airport (there were about 100,000 inspections of carry-on plants and about 270,000 inspections of air cargo in 2008). Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae), including many economically important species such as Bactrocera cucurbitae, B. dorsalis species complex , B. tryoni, and Ceratitis capitata, have been frequently intercepted and recorded on those plants (Ichinohe and Kaneda, 1992; Takeishi, 1992; Tsuruta and Kawashita, 2002). Ichinohe and Kaneda (1992) made an identification key to the tephritid species of known quarantine importance that have been intercepted thus far. However, there are some fruit flies that have been intercepted on rare occasions, th e specimens of which have been left unidentified.

  • Fruit Flies of the Genus Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae)
    COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM ECOLOGY Fruit Flies of the Genus Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Associated Native Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) in the Tropical Rainforest Biosphere Reserve of Montes Azules, Chiapas, Mexico MARTI´N ALUJA,1, 2 JUAN RULL,1 JOHN SIVINSKI,3 ALLEN L. NORRBOM,4 ROBERT A. WHARTON,5 ROGELIO MACI´AS-ORDO´ N˜ EZ,1 FRANCISCO DI´AZ-FLEISCHER,6 1 AND MAURILIO LO´ PEZ Environ. Entomol. 32(6): 1377Ð1385 (2003) ABSTRACT We report the results of a 2-yr survey that determined some of the host plant and parasitoid associations of Anastrepha fruit ßies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the “Montes Azules” tropical rainforest biosphere reserve (State of Chiapas, Mexico). We collected a total of 57.38 kg of fruit representing 47 native species from 23 plant families. Of these, 13 plant species from eight plant families were found to be native hosts of 9 species of Anastrepha. The following Anastrepha host associations were observed: Bellucia pentamera Naudin (Melastomataceae) with A. coronilli Carrejo y Gonza´lez; Malmea gaumeri (Greenm.) Lundell (Annonaceae) with A. bahiensis Lima; Tabernamontana alba Mill. (Apocynaceae) with A. cordata Aldrich; Quararibea yunckeri Standl. (Bombacaceae) with A. crebra Stone; Ampelocera hottlei (Standl.) Standl. (Ulmaceae) with A. obliqua (Macquart) and A. fraterculus (Wiedemann); Zuelania guidonia Britton and Millsp. and Casearia tremula (Griseb.) Griseb. ex C. Wright (Flacourtaceae) with A. zuelaniae Stone; Psidium sartorianum (O. Berg.) Nied (Myrtaceae) with A. fraterculus; Psidium guajava L. and P. sartorianum (Myrtaceae) with A. striata Schiner; and Manilkara zapota (L.) Van Royen, Pouteria sp., Bumelia sebolana Lundell, and Calocarpum mammosum (L.) Pierre (Sapotaceae) with A. serpentina (Wiedemann).
