ZooKeys 365: 263–278. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.365.6070 Abstract Empidoidea is one of the largest extant lineages of flies, but phylogenetic relationships among species of this group are poorly investigated and global diversity remains scarcely assessed. In this context, one of the most enigmatic empidoid families is Hybotidae. Within the framework of a pilot study, we barcoded 339 specimens of Old World hybotids belonging to 164 species and 22 genera (plus two Empis as outgroups) and attempted to evaluate whether patterns of intra- and interspecific divergences match the current tax- onomy.

  • Diptera: Syrphidae) with Notes on the Placement of the Subfamily by F
    A NEW GENUS OF MICRODONTINE FLIES (DIPTERA: SYRPHIDAE) WITH NOTES ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE SUBFAMILY BY F. CHRISTIAN THOMPSON I discovered the following new genus of Syrphidae while reviewing the Neotropical Microdontinae. I had planned to put aside its de- scription until my study of the subfamily was finished. However, publication of a second species, assignable to it by van Doesburg (1966) has necessitated publishing a name now for this genus so that it can be included in the Catalog of South American Diptera. Paragodon, new genus Very small (4-5 mm.) microdontine flies. Face simple (slightly produced in paragoides); cheeks absent, eyes bordering on the oral opening; eyes dichoptic in both sexes; occiput evenly developed. An- tennae short, about one-half as long as face; aristae short and thick- ened. Thorax about as long as broad; pleura bare except mesopleura pilose and meta.pleura with microscopic, pile; scutellum without apical spines and fringe; metasterna undeveloped and bare; metathoracic spiracles without hair fringes. Legs simple, with no basal setal patches on the femora and with cicatrices only on the hind femora. Vings without the spurious vein, with all apical crossveins straight. Abdomen oval, lateral margins slightly emarginate and rolled under ventrally, with ISt sternite bare and st spiracles without hair fringes. Genitalia simple; ejaculatory apodeme simple, apical por- tion not triangularly flared; ejaculato.ry sac not sclerotized; ejacula- tory process single, short, not posteriorly fused to ejaculatory hood; ejaculatory hood with anterior ventral portion elongate; sustentacu- lar apodeme present, double, fused anteriorly to base of ejaculatory Contribution no. 1392 from the Systematics and Morphology Research Laboratory, Department of Entomology, University of Massachusetts.

This is the first comprehensive introduction to the flies of the subfamily Tachydromiinae (Hybotidae) of Singapore. The monograph summarizes all publications on the Tachydromiinae of Singapore and includes new data resulting from mass-trapping surveys made in Singapore during the last six years. A few samples from Malaysia (Johor province, Pulau Tioman and Langkawi) have been also included in this study. In Singapore the Tachydromiinae are the most diverse group of Empidoidea (except Dolichopodidae) and currently comprise 85 species belonging to the following nine genera: Platypalpus (1), Tachydromia (1), Chersodromia (6), Pontodromia (1), Drapetis (5), Elaphropeza (60), Crossopalpus (1), Nanodromia (3) and Stilpon (7). All species are diagnosed and illustrated.

C. 20013-7012 USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new genus and species of flower flies is described from China (Furcantenna Cheng, type F. yangi Cheng). Another new genus is proposed for the Afrotropical species incorrectly placed in Ceratophya, Afromicrodon Thompson, type Microdon johannae Doesburg. A key is provided to the groups of the Subfamily Microdontinae, along with a checklist of genus-group names proposed within the subfamily and nomenclatural and taxonomic notes on them. Key words: Taxonomy, Syrphidae, Microdontinae, key, China, Afrotropics Introduction Microdontine flies are an unusual group among the flower flies. The adults are rarely encountered as they do not go to flowers and remain close to their breeding sites. The known larvae are predators of ant brood, and, hence, found in ant nests (Andries 1912, Duffield 1981). Adults are found commonly around those nests and do not range far from them. Normally microdontine flies are rare in Malaise and other kind of traps, but if the trap is close to ant nests, then adults can be abundant in the trap samples.

Author: Reemer, Menno Title: Unravelling a hotchpotch : phylogeny and classification of the Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) Issue Date: 2012-03-13 4 Phylogenetic relationships of Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) based on parsimony analyses of combined molecular and morphological characters Menno Reemer & Gunilla Ståhls Abstract. The intrasubfamilial classification of Microdontinae Rondani, 1845 (Diptera: Syrphidae) has been considered a challenge ever since the name was first used. Although 59 genus group names are available, still more than 300 out of more than 400 valid species names are classified in the single genusMicrodon Meigen. The present paper is part of a project aimed at resolving the supraspecific taxonomy and classification of the subfamily. This paper presents the results of a phylogenetic analysis of molecular data as well as the results of a combined analysis of molecular and morphological characters. The mor- phological dataset is described and discussed in Chapter 3. The molecular dataset contains 96 taxa (87 ingroup), and five sequence fragments of three molecular markers: the mitochondrial COI-gene and the nuclear ribosomal RNA genes 18S and 28S. Analysis of molecular data only resulted in poorly resoved trees. Addition of 174 morphological characters to the dataset resulted in strongly resolved trees. Part of the resolution was lost again when the dataset was supplemented with 93 taxa for which only morphological data were available. Based on a discussion of the problem of missing data, the tree resul- ting from the analysis of the combined analysis of 96 taxa for which molecular data are available was chosen as the preferred tree.

This issue is brought to you during the Covid-19 pandemic, with many of you likely cooped up at home, with insect collections worldwide closed for business! Perhaps for this reason this issue is pretty heavy, not just with articles but with images. There were many submissions to the Flies are Amazing! section and the Dipterists Lairs! I hope you enjoy them! Just to touch on an error I made in the Fall issue’s introduction… In outlining the change to “Spring” and “Fall” issues, instead of April and October issues, I said “But rest assured, I WILL NOT produce Fall issues after 20 December! Nor Spring issues after 20 March!” But of course I meant no Spring issues after 20 June! Instead of hitting the end of spring, I used the beginning. Oh well… Thank you to everyone for sending in such interesting articles! I encourage all of you to consider contributing articles that may be of interest to the Diptera community, or for larger manuscripts, the Fly Times Supplement series. Fly Times offers a great forum to report on research activities, to make specimen requests, to report interesting observations about flies or new and improved methods, to advertise opportunities for dipterists, to report on or announce meetings relevant to the community, etc., with all the digital images you wish to provide.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) Based on Molecular and Morphological Characters
    Systematic Entomology (2013), 38, 661–688 DOI: 10.1111/syen.12020 Phylogenetic relationships of Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) based on molecular and morphological characters MENNO REEMER1 and GUNILLA STAHLS˚ 2 1Naturalis Biodiversity Center, European Invertebrate Survey, Leiden, The Netherlands and 2Finnish Museum of Natural History, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland Abstract. The intrasubfamilial classification of Microdontinae Rondani (Diptera: Syrphidae) has been a challenge: until recently more than 300 out of more than 400 valid species names were classified in Microdon Meigen. We present phylogenetic analyses of molecular and morphological characters (both separate and combined) of Microdontinae. The morphological dataset contains 174 characters, scored for 189 taxa (9 outgroup), representing all 43 presently recognized genera and several subgenera and species groups. The molecular dataset, representing 90 ingroup species of 28 genera, comprises sequences of five partitions in total from the mitochondrial gene COI and the nuclear ribosomal genes 18S and 28S . We test the sister-group relationship of Spheginobaccha with the other Microdontinae, attempt to elucidate phylogenetic relationships within the Microdontinae and discuss uncertainties in the classification of Microdontinae. Trees based on molecular characters alone are poorly resolved, but combined data are better resolved. Support for many deeper nodes is low, and placement of such nodes differs between parsimony and Bayesian analyses. However, Spheginobaccha is recovered as highly supported sister group in both. Both analyses agree on the early branching of Mixogaster, Schizoceratomyia, Afromicrodon and Paramicrodon. The taxonomical rank in relation to the other Syrphidae is discussed briefly. An additional analysis based on morphological characters only, including all 189 taxa, used implied weighting.
