Biodiversity Data Journal 2: e4168. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.2.e4168 Abstract Flies in the family Milichiidae are often myrmecophilic. We document the first record of a fly from this family interacting with an ant of the genus Polyrhachis. In lowland riparian rainforest in Sabah, Malaysia, we observed a female of the genus Milichia following an ant of the species of P. illaudata, and repeatedly attempting to make close contact. Our observation suggests that the dipteran may have been attempting to feed kleptoparasitically from the Polyrhachis worker, since members of this ant genus often feed on liquid carbohydrate-rich food resources. This is the first time an interaction has been observed between a fly of this family and an ant of this widespread old world tropical genus.

ANDREWS EXPERIMENTAL FOREST, WESTERN CASCADE MOUNTAINS, OREGON: A SURVEY OF ARTHROPODS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CANOPY OF OLD-GROWTH Pseudotsuga Menziesii D.J. Voegtlin FORUT REJEARCH LABORATORY SCHOOL OF FORESTRY OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Since 1941, the Forest Research Laboratory--part of the School of Forestry at Oregon State University in Corvallis-- has been studying forests and why they are like they are. A staff or more than 50 scientists conducts research to provide information for wise public and private decisions on managing and using Oregons forest resources and operating its wood-using industries. Because of this research, Oregons forests now yield more in the way of wood products, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Wood products are harvested, processed, and used more efficiently. Employment, productivity, and profitability in industries dependent on forests also have been strengthened. And this research has helped Oregon to maintain a quality environment for its people. Much research is done in the Laboratorys facilities on the campus. But field experiments in forest genetics, young- growth management, forest hydrology, harvesting methods, and reforestation are conducted on 12,000 acres of School forests adjacent to the campus and on lands of public and private cooperating agencies throughout the Pacific Northwest. With these publications, the Forest Research Laboratory supplies the results of its research to forest land owners and managers, to manufacturers and users of forest products, to leaders of government and industry, and to the general public. The Author David J. Voegtlin is Assistant Taxonomist at the Illinois Natural History Survey, Champaign, Illinois.

  • Taxonomic Status of Three Acalyptrate Dipterous Species (Diptera: Milichiidae, Chiropteromyzidae)
    Heteropterus Revista de Entomología 2009 Heteropterus Rev. Entomol. 9(2): 105-110 ISSN: 1579-0681 Taxonomic status of three acalyptrate dipterous species (Diptera: Milichiidae, Chiropteromyzidae) M. CARLES-TOLRÁ Avda. Príncipe de Asturias 30, ático 1; E-08012 Barcelona; Spain; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The taxonomic status of three acalyptrate dipterous species, namely Leptometopa niveipennis fascifrons (Becker), Leptometopa broersei de Meijere and Milichia speciosa canariensis Becker, is revised. After the study of their type material, the following results have been obtained: (a) Leptometopa fascifrons (Becker) is a valid species, not a subspecies of Leptometopa niveipennis (Strobl); (b) Leptometopa broersei de Meijere belongs to the species Chiropteromyza wegelii Frey, this last species being a junior synonym of Leptometopa broersei; consequently its correct name is Chiropteromyza broersei (de Meijere) and it belongs to the family Chiropteromyzidae, not Milichiidae; and (c) Milichia canariensis Becker is a valid species and not a subspecies of Milichia speciosa Meigen. Key words: Diptera, Milichiidae, Chiropteromyzidae, taxonomic status. Resumen Posición taxonómica de tres especies de dípteros acalípteros (Diptera: Milichiidae, Chiroptero- myzidae) Se revisa la posición taxonómica de tres dípteros acalípteros, a saber Leptometopa niveipennis fascifrons (Becker), Leptometopa broersei de Meijere y Milichia speciosa canariensis Becker. Tras el estudio de su material tipo se han obte- nido los siguientes resultados: (a) Leptometopa fascifrons (Becker) es una especie válida, no una subespecie de Leptometopa niveipennis (Strobl); (b) Leptometopa broersei de Meijere pertenece a la especie Chiropteromyza wegelii Frey, siendo esta última especie una sinonimia de Leptometopa broersei; consecuentemente su nombre correcto es Chiropteromyza broersei (de Meijere) y pertenece a la familia Chiropteromyzidae, no a los Milichiidae; y (c) Milichia canariensis Becker es una especie válida y no una subespecie de Milichia speciosa Meigen.

(type species: I. viet sp. n.) is described. Also an additional species from Laos (I. lao sp. n.) is described. The peculiarities of the new genus are discussed. With seven figures. Key words: Milichiidae, Phyllomyzinae, Indochinomyia, taxonomy, new species, Laos, Vietnam. INTRODUCTION The dipterous family Milichiidae is one of the best known acalyptrate flies. Even Hennig (1937) made a much higher level summary on them than on most of the families in the series on Palaearctic flies. Sabrosky (1987) kept the genus concepts clear and he produced fine papers on several genera. Fi- nally Brake (2000) in her monograph of the phylogenetic systematics of Mili- chiidae defined subfamilies and genera and she proposed a phylogenetic tree based on adult characters. Her magnum opus makes easy to recognise any ge- nus, and in addition, the list of the known species was also included. In the last decades the extensive collections of the co-workers of the De- partment of Zoology of the Hungarian Natural History Museum in the Old World tropics, particularly in the Oriental region, resulted in an accumulation of interesting material there. Most recently one female each of two species of Milichiidae (subfamily Phyllomyzinae) was found there, which do not fit to any of the genera in Brake’s (2000) monograph.

    F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation.

Introduction The Diptera collection in the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien in Austria contains about 3 drawers of Milichiidae and 2 drawers of Carnidae. A visit to the museum in Septem­ ber 2005 revealed several unmarked types, most of which were described by Hendel. The purpose of this paper is to list all Milichiidae and Carnidae types in the NHMW and to designate three lectotypes. The label data for all types are cited. Additionally, the species Desmometopa discipalpis Papp , 1993 (synonym: Madiza palpalia W a h l b e r g ) is discussed, because the hitherto unknown female is present in NHMW.
