An approach to automatic hoverfly species discrimination based on detection and extraction of vein junctions in wing venation patterns of insects is presented in the paper. The dataset used in our experiments consists of high resolution microscopic wing images of several hoverfly species collected over a relatively long period of time at different geographic locations. Junctions are detected using the combination of the well known HOG (histograms of oriented gradients) and the robust version of recently proposed CLBP (complete local binary pattern). These features are used to train an SVM classifier to detect junctions in wing images.

  • Hoverfly Newsletter 36
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 36 NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2003 ISSN 1358-5029 This edition is being produced in the wake of the second international symposium which was held in Alicante in June. Alan Stubbs has commented below that Spain was, as expected, too dry in mid-June for many hoverflies to be found. It seems to me that the same comment is true for Britain for much of the present season; although I have had a few productive days this year, on the majority of occasions when I have been in the field hoverfly numbers have proved to be sparse as a result of the hot and very dry conditions. The growth of interest on the subject however continues unabated, as anyone who subscribes to the UK hoverfly email exchange group will testify. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 37 (which is expected to be issued in February 2004) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, Email address [email protected], to reach me by 20 December.

  • Anthecological Relations Reputedly Anemophilous Flowers and Syrphid

Stelleman Hugo de Vries-laboratorium. Universiteit van Amsterdam SUMMARY After intensive field work in Upper Hessia (W. Germany) the authors have come to the con- clusion that although Plantago media L. is most probably visited much more frequently and wider of insects than P. lanceolata L.. flies of the by a range syrphid Melanostoma-Platychei- transfer rus group play a negligible role in the pollen of P. media. The possible reason for this unexpectedresult is anything but clear and only a tentative possibility is suggested. 1. INTRODUCTION After the relation between syrphid flies ofthe Melanostoma-Platycheirus (M P) been group and Plantago lanceolatahad studied in the Netherlands (Stelleman ofthis the role ofthese flies effective & Meeuse. part I series), possible syrphid as pollinators of other species of Plantago seemed a promising field of study. In the media, which to human to be particular species P. our senses appears more attractive than P. lanceolataboth optically and olfactorally, seemed a suitable p. object, the more so since a great many insect visitors have been recorded on media (see Knuth 1899and Kugler 1970). The opportunity arose when Professor Neubauerand Professor Weberling of the botanical institute of the University of Giessen invited us to study the pol- lination ecology of this species in the Giessen area. We arrived in the area when the flowering period of P. media had not reached its peak and stayed until in had been for some sites flowering was over or the grass mowed hay-making and the flowering spikes were cut off.

    Dipterists Forum Hoverfly Newsletter Number 48 Spring 2010 ISSN 1358-5029 I am grateful to everyone who submitted articles and photographs for this issue in a timely manner. The closing date more or less coincided with the publication of the second volume of the new Swedish hoverfly book. Nigel Jones, who had already submitted his review of volume 1, rapidly provided a further one for the second volume. In order to avoid delay I have kept the reviews separate rather than attempting to merge them. Articles and illustrations (including colour images) for the next newsletter are always welcome. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 49 (which is expected to be issued with the Autumn 2010 Dipterists Forum Bulletin) should be sent to me: David Iliff Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, (telephone 01242 674398), email:[email protected], to reach me by 20 May 2010.

  • HOVERFLY NEWSLETTER Dipterists
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 41 NEWSLETTER SPRING 2006 Dipterists Forum ISSN 1358-5029 As a new season begins, no doubt we are all hoping for a more productive recording year than we have had in the last three or so. Despite the frustration of recent seasons it is clear that national and international study of hoverflies is in good health, as witnessed by the success of the Leiden symposium and the Recording Scheme’s report (though the conundrum of the decline in UK records of difficult species is mystifying). New readers may wonder why the list of literature references from page 15 onwards covers publications for the year 2000 only. The reason for this is that for several issues nobody was available to compile these lists. Roger Morris kindly agreed to take on this task and to catch up for the missing years. Each newsletter for the present will include a list covering one complete year of the backlog, and since there are two newsletters per year the backlog will gradually be eliminated. Once again I thank all contributors and I welcome articles for future newsletters; these may be sent as email attachments, typed hard copy, manuscript or even dictated by phone, if you wish. Please do not forget the “Interesting Recent Records” feature, which is rather sparse in this issue. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 42 (which is expected to be issued with the Autumn 2006 Dipterists Forum Bulletin) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, (telephone 01242 674398), email: [email protected], to reach me by 20 June 2006.

  • Of the Vitosha Mountain
    Historia naturalis bulgarica 26: 1–66 ISSN 0205-3640 (print) | ISSN 2603-3186 (online) • http://www.nmnhs.com/historia-naturalis-bulgarica/ publication date [online]: 17 May 2018 The Dipterans (Insecta: Diptera) of the Vitosha Mountain Zdravko Hubenov Abstract. A total of 1272 two-winged species that belong to 58 families has been reported from theVitosha Mt. The Tachinidae (208 species or 16.3%) and Cecidomyiidae (138 species or 10.8%) are the most numerous. The greatest number of species has been found in the mesophylic and xeromesophylic mixed forests belt (707 species or 55.6%) and in the northern part of the mountain (645 species or 50.7%). The established species belong to 83 areographical categories. The dipterous fauna can be divided into two main groups: 1) species with Mediterranean type of distribution (53 species or 4.2%) – more thermophilic and distributed mainly in the southern parts of the Palaearctic; seven species of southern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well; 2) species with Palaearctic and Eurosiberian type of distribution (1219 species or 95.8%) – more cold-resistant and widely distributed in the Palaearctic; 247 species of northern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well. The endemic species are 15 (1.2%). The distribution of the species according to the zoogeographical categories in the vegetation belts and the distribution of the zoogeographical categories in each belt are considered. The dipteran fauna of the Vitosha Mt. is compared to this of the Rila and Pirin Mountains.

  • Mesembrina Meridiana (L
    J. Entomol. Res. Soc., 16(2): 23-27, 2014 ISSN:1302-0250 A New Record for the Turkish House Fly Fauna: Mesembrina meridiana (L. 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) Cenk ONSOY Ferhat ALTUNSOY Furkan Halil AKAY Anadolu University, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology 26470 Eskişehir, TURKEY e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Muscidae is a wide spread calyptrate family all over the World. On the other hand this family has great importance for ecological, veterinary, medical and forensic science. This family presented with 578 species in Europe and also has great species richness in Turkey. In this study Mesembrina meridiana (L. 1758) was reported first time in Turkey. We expect thatM. meridiana also have great forensic importance due to the two specimens were collected on 3th and 8th days of decomposition; fresh and bloat stages when the Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae species not certainly active due to seasonal activity periods. Key words: Mesembrina meridiana, new record, Turkish Muscidae fauna, house fly. INTRODUCTION The Muscidae is a large and cosmopolitan family of Diptera that belong to the Calyptrata family group. Today Diptera are one of the three largest and most diverse animal groups in the world comprised of over 160,000 named species in about 150 families (Ssymank et al., 2008). In the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera (Pont, 1986), 835 valid species are listed, but in recent years many new species have been described especially from the eastern Palaearctic, so far in Europe 578 species reported (Pont, 2004; Pont, 2005; Gregor and Rozkošný, 2007; Pont and Grach, 2008; Pont and Gregor, 2008; Gregor and Rozkošný, 2009; Moon, 2002).
