Frontenac Provincial Park FRONTENAC PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Frontenac Provincial Park in 2014 (44.51783, -76.53944, 176m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from May 9 – September 25, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed; every other sample was analyzed using the individual specimen protocol while the second half was analyzed via bulk analysis. A total of 3372 BINs were obtained. Half of the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and true bugs (Hemiptera; Figure 2). In total, 750 arthropod species were named, representing 24.6% of the BINs from the site (Appendix 1). All but 1 of the BINs were assigned Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Frontenac at least to family, and 58.2% were assigned to a genus Provincial Park in 2014. (Appendix 2). Specimens collected from Frontenac represent 232 different families and 838 genera.

In insects this form of reproduction is known from one beetle, several species of gall midges and possibly Erisalishoverfiies.This study aims to show paedogenesis forE. arbuslorum under controlled conditions. The first two experiments were unsuccessful. In the third experiment, a total of 1266 larvae were reared and five occasions of paedogenesis were recorded among 542 successful pupations. In all cases of paedogenesis, one larva was put in the container and two larvae or pupae were collected later. The life history consequences of this way of reproduction are discussed.

Site visits were made on 12 May, 18 June, 6 and 20 September 2010. Several unusual and scarce insects were found. These included: Agrilus sinuatus, a nationally scarce jewel beetle that breeds in hawthorn Argiope bruennichi, the wasp spider, recently starting to spread in London Dasytes plumbeus, a nationally scarce beetle found in grassy places Ectemnius ruficornis, a nationally scarce wasp which nests in dead timber Elodia ambulatoria, a nationally rare fly thought to be a parasitoid of tineid moths breeding in bracket fungi Eustalomyia hilaris, a nationally rare fly that breeds in wasp burrows in dead timber

  • Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish Landscape Lise Brunberg Nielsen
    Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish landscape Lise Brunberg Nielsen Nielsen, Lise Brunberg: Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish Landscape. Ent. Meddr 82: 39-62, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2014. ISSN 0013-8851 Abstract About 29,700 Oscinellinae were collected by means of sweep net, water traps and pitfalls in a variety of uncultivated habitats in Denmark mainly in Jutland. So far 75 species belonging to 21 genera are re­ corded from Denmark. Eleven species are new to the Danish fauna. Morphological details of Aphanotrigonum brachypterum, A. hungaricum, A. nigripes, Conioscinella gallarum, lncertella albipalpis, I. nigrifrons, I. kerteszi, I. scotica and Oscinella angustipennis are presented. The distribu­ tion of Oscinellinae in the Danish landscape is discussed. In Denmark, farmland dominates, so the two most abundant Oscinellarspecies of ara­ ble land, Oscinella frit and 0. vastator, are also predominant in most nat­ ural habitats. Small and larger uncultivated areas, however, making up only 25 % of the Danish landscape, contain a rich fauna of Oscinel­ lines. The advantage of different sampling methods combined is demonstrated. Sammendrag Fordelingen af fritf1uer (Diptera: Chloropidae) i det danske landskab.

Keywords Checklist, Finland, Diptera, Anthomyiidae Introduction The family Anthomyiidae is a large and taxonomically difficult group of flies that has for the same reason suffered from unstable taxonomy and nomenclature. A checklist of the anthomyiid species known from pre-war Finland was compiled by their leading regional specialist of calyptrate flies Lauri Tiensuu (1906−1980) and published in Frey et al. (1941). The Anthomyiidae were then not recognized as a separate family but combined with the fanniid and true muscid flies in a comprehensive Muscidae fam- ily equivalent of the present Muscoidea less Scathophagidae. Tiensuu’s list included confirmed records of 199 anthomyiid species classified in 41 genera and subgenera. No less than 34% of the species names and 58% of the genus-group names in that list are Copyright Verner Michelsen.

The first data on the Fungus gnats fauna of Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae and Myceto- Chukotka are presented. 170 species belonging to the fami- philidae, belonging to the superfamily Sciaroidea (Diptera, lies Bolitophilidae, Diadocidiidae, Keroplatidae and Myce- Nematocera, Bibionomorpha). This is highly diverse group tophilidae were reported during two field seasons in 2013 with estimated number of species around 4500 in the and 2014 in the lower course of the Anadyr River. Eight world fauna and more than 1450 in Palaearctic [Søli et al., species are reported from Russia for the first time, two species are new for the Palaearctic and 27 species were 2000]. In the latter region, they seem to display an in- previously unknown in the eastern part of the Palaearctic; creasing diversity towards the North, with most species- 28 species are most probably undescribed taxa.
