A total of 10 species in 6 genera from the subfamilies Miltogramminae (4 species in 2 genera) and Paramacronychiinae (6 species in 4 genera) were determined. The genera Angiometopa Brauer and Bergenstamm, 1889 and Brachicoma Rondani, 1856 and the species Angiometopa falleni Pape, 1986, Brachicoma devia (Fallén, 1820), Macronychia polyodon (Meigen, 1824), and M. striginervis (Zetterstedt, 1838) are recorded for the first time from Turkey. Photographs or illustrations of the new records are provided. Key words: Sarcophagidae, Miltogramminae, Paramacronychiinae, new records, Turkey 1. Introduction immatures (mainly prepupae) of bumble bees, predators Species of the subfamily Miltogramminae (Diptera: of grasshopper egg pods, and parasitoids of grasshoppers Sarcophagidae) are generally small to medium-sized with and snails. Sarcophila Rondani, 1856 and Wohlfahrtia large eyes, broad lower calypteres, and an oval or slightly Brauer and Bergenstamm, 1889 contain scavengers, tapering abdomen. Morphology of the terminalia is rather insect predators, and some species that produce myiasis uniform. Sexual dimorphism is often present. It usually in mammals. Species of Wohlfahrtia have even been used involves differences in color pattern, males having a denser, in the treatment of human wounds (Pape, 1996; Pape et brighter, and more contrasting microtomentum, and in al., 2012). the chaetotaxy of the fore tarsus, which is equipped with To date, 12 species of Miltogramminae and 8 species specialized setae in the males of many species (Pape, 1996; of Paramacronychiinae had been reported from Turkey Pape et al., 2012). The male terminalia are fairly simple (Pape, 1996; Kara and Pape, 2002; Hayat et al., 2008; Pekbey and generally species specific (Pape and Szpila, 2012). and Hayat, 2010).

Digital photographs were captured on a Leica DFC290 camera mounted on a Leica MZ16A stereo zoom microscope, using the Leica application suite (version 2.7.0). Illustrations were done using CorelDRAW graphics software (version 12.0). The classification and terminology used by Pape (1987, 1996) and Richet et al. (2011) were followed in this paper. The distributions of the species are taken from Pape (1996) and Pape and Beuk (2011). Wohlfahrtia meigenii (Schiner, 1862) was distinguished from W. vigil (Walker, 1894) by Verves (1986), whose distribution and classification we follow here for this species.

    Systematic Entomology (2020), DOI: 10.1111/syen.12443 Protein-encoding ultraconserved elements provide a new phylogenomic perspective of Oestroidea flies (Diptera: Calyptratae) ELIANA BUENAVENTURA1,2 , MICHAEL W. LLOYD2,3,JUAN MANUEL PERILLALÓPEZ4, VANESSA L. GONZÁLEZ2, ARIANNA THOMAS-CABIANCA5 andTORSTEN DIKOW2 1Museum für Naturkunde, Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science, Berlin, Germany, 2National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, U.S.A., 3The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, U.S.A., 4Department of Biological Sciences, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, U.S.A. and 5Department of Environmental Science and Natural Resources, University of Alicante, Alicante, Spain Abstract. The diverse superfamily Oestroidea with more than 15 000 known species includes among others blow flies, flesh flies, bot flies and the diverse tachinid flies. Oestroidea exhibit strikingly divergent morphological and ecological traits, but even with a variety of data sources and inferences there is no consensus on the relationships among major Oestroidea lineages. Phylogenomic inferences derived from targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements or UCEs have emerged as a promising method for resolving difficult phylogenetic problems at varying timescales. To reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among families of Oestroidea, we obtained UCE loci exclusively derived from the transcribed portion of the genome, making them suitable for larger and more integrative phylogenomic studies using other genomic and transcriptomic resources. We analysed datasets containing 37–2077 UCE loci from 98 representatives of all oestroid families (except Ulurumyiidae and Mystacinobiidae) and seven calyptrate outgroups, with a total concatenated aligned length between 10 and 550 Mb. About 35% of the sampled taxa consisted of museum specimens (2–92 years old), of which 85% resulted in successful UCE enrichment.

This species is an obligatory agent of myiasis in human and other warm-blooded vertebrates. The puppy was healthy and was not living near farm animals, usual hosts of this flesh fly. An overview of cases of human and animal myiasis caused by W. magnifica in Italy and of data and specimens documented in entomology museum collections is also reported. Canine, urogenital myiasis, Wohlfahrtia magnifica Myiasis is an important parasitic disease caused by larvae of Diptera infesting vertebrates actively feeding on host tissues (Zumpt 1965). The term “wohlfahrtiosis” refers to myiasis caused by Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Schiner, 1862) (Insecta: Diptera: Sarcophagidae). Among the types of myiasis, wohlfahrtiosis is especially important not only because it may affect humans, but also because it usually induces serious damage due to the high number of deposited larvae and to their rapid growth. When attacking livestock, the parasite may cause heavy economic damages through loss of production and death (Hall and Farkas 2000). In Europe wohlfahrtiosis is an infestation reported in humans and domestic animals in several countries, especially in southern and eastern areas.

    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.

  • Test Key to British Blowflies (Calliphoridae) And
    Draft key to British Calliphoridae and Rhinophoridae Steven Falk 2016 BRITISH BLOWFLIES (CALLIPHORIDAE) AND WOODLOUSE FLIES (RHINOPHORIDAE) DRAFT KEY March 2016 Steven Falk Feedback to [email protected] 1 Draft key to British Calliphoridae and Rhinophoridae Steven Falk 2016 PREFACE This informal publication attempts to update the resources currently available for identifying the families Calliphoridae and Rhinophoridae. Prior to this, British dipterists have struggled because unless you have a copy of the Fauna Ent. Scand. volume for blowflies (Rognes, 1991), you will have been largely reliant on Van Emden's 1954 RES Handbook, which does not include all the British species (notably the common Pollenia pediculata), has very outdated nomenclature, and very outdated classification - with several calliphorids and tachinids placed within the Rhinophoridae and Eurychaeta palpalis placed in the Sarcophagidae. As well as updating keys, I have also taken the opportunity to produce new species accounts which summarise what I know of each species and act as an invitation and challenge to others to update, correct or clarify what I have written. As a result of my recent experience of producing an attractive and fairly user-friendly new guide to British bees, I have tried to replicate that approach here, incorporating lots of photos and clear, conveniently positioned diagrams. Presentation of identification literature can have a big impact on the popularity of an insect group and the accuracy of the records that result. Calliphorids and rhinophorids are fascinating flies, sometimes of considerable economic and medicinal value and deserve to be well recorded. What is more, many gaps still remain in our knowledge.
