Loto ρ hila vietnamica vietnamica sp. nov. is described from Vietnam .

Key words: Lotophila ，Sphaeroceridae ，Diptera ， the Oriental Region ， Lotophila viet- namica sp. nov .，new records The genus Lotq ρ hila Lioy has been studied by several authors (Hayashi ，1985 ， 1991; Norrbom and Kim ， 1984; Norrbom and Marshall ， 1988; Papp ，1988 ). The genus is easily distinguishable distinguishable from the other genera of the subfamily Copromyzinae by the lack of spine-like spine-like ventral setae on the hind femur and ventroapical spur on the hind tibia . Up to the present ，Loto. ρ hila comprises 6 species: L. αtr α(M， eigen ，1830) (Holarctic ， Pakistan); Pakistan); L. bicolor Norrbom et Marshall ，1988 (Nepa l); L. confusa Norrbom et Marshall ， 1988 (China ，U.

In the course of the study on the Oriental Oriental l esser dung fties ，1 found the 7th species of the genus Loto ρ hila and describe it together together with the new distributional records of L. bicolor and L. ne ρalensis ，which are a littl e known species and only a few specimens are known from East Nepal up to the presen t.

Out of 36 states and UT’s in India, the family Sphaeroceridae is so far known only from 15 states and UT’s and maximum number of species reported from the state of West Bengal (26.98%). Among different biogeographic zones in India, the Indo-Gangetic Plains share maximum number of species (49.20%) whereas, Islands biogeographic zone has no record of these flies. The present communication is the first attempt in documenting the diversity, distribution and gaps in research of the family Sphaeroceridae from India.

Siles. Sci. Natur. 65: 51-62, 2016. Abstract: Records of eight rare species of the families Psilidae (4), Piophilidae (1), Lauxaniidae (1), Cremifaniidae (1) and Sphaeroceridae (1) from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria are presented and their importance to the knowledge of the biodiversity of local faunas is discussed along with notes on their biology, distribution and identification. Psilidae: Chamaepsila tenebrica (Shatalkin, 1986) is a new addition to the West Palaearctic fauna (recorded from the Czech Republic and Slovakia); Ch. andreji (Shatalkin, 1991) and Ch. confusa Shatalkin & Merz, 2010 are recorded from the Czech Republic (both Bohemia and Moravia) and Ch. andreji also from Austria for the first time, and Ch. unilineata (Zetterstedt, 1847) is added to the fauna of Moravia. Also Homoneura lamellata (Becker, 1895) (Lauxaniidae) and Cremifania nigrocellulata Czerny, 1904 (Cremifaniidae) are first recorded from Moravia and Copromyza pseudostercoraria Papp, 1976 (Sphaeroceridae) is a new addition to faunas of both the Czech Republic (Moravia only) and Slovakia, and its record from Moravia represents a new northernmost limit of its distribution. Pseudoseps signata (Fallén, 1820) (Piophilidae), an endangered species in the Czech Republic, is reported from Bohemia for second time. Photographs of Chamaepsila tenebrica (male), Pseudoseps signata (living female), Homoneura lamellata (male), Cremifania lanceolata (male) and Copromyza pseudostercoraria (male) are presented to enable recognition of these species.

  • Diptera: Sphaeroceridae: Limosininae), an Almost Entirely
    A review of the Archiceroptera Papp genus complex (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae: Limosininae) by Steven Mark Paiero A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Steven Mark Paiero, December, 2017 ABSTRACT: A review of the Archiceroptera Papp genus complex (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae: Limosininae) Steven Mark Paiero Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Dr. S.A. Marshall This thesis has two parts. The first part investigates the relationships between the Archiceroptera genus complex and other members of the Limosininae (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae). A focus is placed on the relationships within the larger epandrial process group, which contains Bitheca, Bromeloecia, Pterogramma, Aptilotella, and Robustagramma, along with Archiceroptera, Rudolfina and several previously unplaced species groups. Molecular and morphological data sets provide the first phylogeny of the group, and were used to support the inclusion of several unplaced species groups within Rudolfina and Archiceroptera, while one new genus is described. Pectinosina gen. nov. includes two species: P. prominens (Duda), previously placed in Rudolfina, and P. carro n. sp. The second part of the thesis deals with revisions of Archiceroptera Papp and Rudolfina Roháček. Rudolfina now includes 13 described species, nine of which are newly described here (R. bucki, R. exuberata, R. howdeni, R. megepandria, R. pauca, R. pilosa, R. newtoni, R. remiforma, and R. tumida). Archiceroptera now includes 29 species, of which 27 are newly described here (A. adamas, A. addenda, A. barberi, A. basilia, A. bilobata, A. bisetosus, A. braziliensis, A. brevivilla, A. browni, A. caliga, A. calligraphia, A. cobolorum, A.

Cumming, co-editor Art Borkent, co-editor Systematic Entomology Section, ECORC 1171 Mallory Road, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada Enderby, British Columbia, C.E.F., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1A 0C6 Canada, V0E 1V3 Tel: (613) 759-1834 Tel: (250) 833-0931 FAX: (613) 759-1927 FAX: (250) 832-2146 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] We as editors would like to remind our devoted clientele that this newsletter is of the people, for the people! We’re depending on you to keep others informed of current projects and needs. This is a good vehicle to inform others of what help you could use (including those specimens needed for the ubiquitous DNA sequence studies!). All Nearctic Dipterists will want to pay attention to the latest news regarding the upcoming International Congress of Dipterology. We encourage all of you to attend this important international gathering, our own Fly Researcher Olympics! Come and see how high you can jump (or how long you can stay afloat). As indicated in other issues, this newsletter is also available through the ECORC website as follows: http://res2.agr.ca/ecorc/program2/entomology/flytimes/flytime.htm A variety of other Diptera links, including a number of newsletters restricted to a particular family, are available at: http://res2.agr.ca/ecorc/cnc/diptera.htm The Directory of North American Dipterists is in the process of being updated and can be accessed at the following address: http://res2.agr.ca/ecorc/program2/entomology/diptera/dipteras.htm Issue No. 29 of the Fly Times will appear next October as both hard copy (for those of you without Internet access) and on the Web.
