Phylogenetic Relationships and the Larval Head of the Lower Cyclorrhapha (Diptera)
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 153, 287–323. With 25 figures Phylogenetic relationships and the larval head of the lower Cyclorrhapha (Diptera) GRAHAM E. ROTHERAY1* and FRANCIS GILBERT2 1National Museums of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh EH1 1JF, UK 2School of Biology, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NR7 2RD, UK Received 23 April 2007; accepted for publication 1 August 2007 We examined final-stage larvae of all currently recognized lower cyclorrhaphan (= Aschiza) families, except Ironomyiidae and Sciadoceridae, and those of the higher cyclorrhaphan (= Schizophora) families Calliphoridae, Conopidae, Lonchaeidae, Muscidae, and Ulidiidae, and compared them with larvae of two out-group families, Rhagionidae and Dolichopodidae, paying particular attention to structures of the head. A set of 86 morphological characters were analysed phylogenetically. The results show that the lower Cyclorrhapha is paraphyletic in relation to the higher Cyclorrhapha. The monophyly of the Cyclorrhapha is strongly supported. The lower Cyclorrhapha is resolved into two clades, based on the Lonchopteridae. Within the Syrphidae the traditional three-subfamily system is supported, based on the Microdontinae. Within the lower Cyclorrhapha, the larval head is variable in form and arrangement of components. In Lonchopteridae, the mouth lies at the back of an open trough or furrow, comprising ventrally an elongate labium and laterally the maxilla. This arrangement of components appears to facilitate scooping food in water films. In Platypezoidea there is no furrow, and the dorsolateral lobes bearing the antennae are connected by a dorsal extension of the pseudocephalon. The main food-gathering structure is the hooked apex of the labium, but in Phoridae the mandibles may also be important. -

Insects have several genes coding for insulin-like peptides and they have been 18 particularly well studied in Drosophila. Some of these hormones function as growth hormones 19 and are produced by the fat body and the brain. These act through a typical insulin receptor 20 tyrosine kinase. Two other Drosophila insulin-like hormones are either known or suspected to act 21 through a G-protein coupled receptor. Although insulin-related peptides are known from other 22 insect species, Drosophila insulin-like peptide 8, one that uses a G-protein coupled receptor, has 23 so far only been identified from Drosophila and other flies. However, its receptor is widespread 24 within arthropods and hence it should have orthologs. Such putative orthologs were recently 25 identified in decapods and have been called gonadulins. -

Cheshire Wildlife Trust
Cheshire Wildlife Trust Heteroptera and Diptera surveys on the Manchester Mosses with PANTHEON analysis by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] on behalf of Lancashire and Cheshire Wildlife Trusts Version 1.0 September 2018 Lancashire Wildlife Trust Page 1 of 35 Abstract This report describes the results of a series of surveys on the Manchester mosslands covering heteroptera (shield bugs, plant bugs and allies), craneflies, hoverflies, and a number of other fly families. Sites covered are the Holcroft Moss reserve of Cheshire Wildlife Trust and the Astley, Cadishead and Little Woolden Moss reserves of Lancashire Wildlife Trust. A full list is given of the 615 species recorded and their distribution across the four sites. This species list is interpreted in terms of feeding guilds and habitat assemblages using the PANTHEON software developed by Natural England. This shows a strong representation in the sample of species associated with shaded woodland floor and tall sward and scrub. The national assemblage of peatland species is somewhat less well represented, but includes a higher proportion of rare or scarce species. A comparison is also made with PANTHEON results for similar surveys across a similar range of habitats in the Delamere Forest. This suggests that the invertebrate diversity value of the Manchester Mosses is rather less, perhaps as a result of their fragmented geography and proximity to past and present sources of transport and industrial pollution. Introduction The Manchester Mosses comprise several areas of lowland bog or mire embedded in the flat countryside between Warrington and Manchester. They include several areas designated as SSSIs in view of the highly distinctive and nationally important habitat, such as Risley Moss, Holcroft Moss, Bedford Moss, and Astley Moss. -

KESSEL, University ot San FTCmcisco and CalifoTnia Acaclemy of Sciences. Ulyfh1:a agctrici (\Villard), unlike most species of its genus, is often ahnndant in the spring of the year. An excellent oppor tunit:· tu make observations on its life history was afforded me during ~lpril and lVIay of 1960 at my home in Novato, California. Se\·eral mushrooms of the genus f1gar·icus, probably belonging to the 'ipecies A. CH'1Jensis, matured simultaneously. It was on the morning- of April16, soon after the veils had broken to reveal the gills on the ·e specimens, that the female flies began visiting the fungi. They started arriving about 10 A.M. and all during the warm part of the day they were ovipositing, as many as six at a time on one mushroom. It was possible to observe them at close range b.'· excavating a "head hole" so that one could look up at the undersurfaces of the fungi. The flies came in slowly for landings on the tops of the mush rooms. ~ome of them came directly from a distance. Others alighte<l first on nearby leaves of miner's lettuce (Mantia pe?-[o liata) which was growing in abundance in the area. Once on the mushroom, the flies quickly went over the ·ide and onto the gills of the lower surface. I was anxious to see what use, if any, the females would make of thrir flattened hind tarsi in the process of oviposition. -

The scheme covers the 35 British species of the Stirling University grounds on 22 June by Nigel Jones, and family Platypezidae, but also accepts records of the single on 25 June I caught P. atra at the River Tay reedbeds (on a British species of Opetiidae.
