PONT Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PW (United Kingdom) and Department of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD (United Kingdom) [email protected] Pont A. C. 2012. – Muscoidea (Fanniidae, Anthomyiidae, Muscidae) described by P. J. M. Macquart (Insecta, Diptera). Zoosystema 34 (1): 39-111. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.5252/z2012n1a3 ABSTRACT This paper deals with the 185 new species-group taxa that P. J. M. Macquart described in the dipteran families Fanniidae, Anthomyiidae and Muscidae, together with a further 5 species-group taxa that belong to other families, 9 replacement names that he proposed, and 1 nomen nudum. Notes are provided on the Diptera collections on which Macquart worked. In the Fanniidae, there are 8 species (and 1 replacement name), in Anthomyiidae, 33 species (and 4 replacement names), and in Muscidae, 144 species (and 4 replacement names). 85 lectotypes are newly designated in order to fix the identity of the names. The following new synonyms are proposed: in Anthomyiidae: Chortophila angusta Macquart, 1835 = Botanophila striolata (Fallén, 1824); Pegomyia basilaris Macquart, 1835 = Pegomya solennis (Meigen, 1826); Anthomyia brunnipennis Macquart, 1835, and Anthomyia fuscipennis Macquart, 1835 = Pegoplata aestiva (Meigen, 1826); Hylemyia caesia Macquart, 1835 = Anthomyia liturata (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830); Chortophila caesia Macquart, 1835, and Anthomyia fulviceps Macquart, 1835 = Delia platura (Meigen, 1826); Chortophila cuprea Macquart, 1835, and Nerina cinerea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 = Adia cinerella (Fallén, 1825); Chortophila geniculata Macquart, 1835 = Emmesomyia grisea (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830); Hydrophoria liturata Macquart, 1835 = Zaphne ambigua (Fallén, 1823); Pegomyia nigrifrons Macquart, 1835 = Pegomya rufina (Fallén, 1825); Hylemyia nitida Macquart, 1835 = Chirosia flavipennis (Fallén, 1823); Anthomyia tibialis Macquart, 1835 = Pegomya conformis (Fallén, 1825); Anthomyia vicina Macquart, 1835 = Botanophila fugax (Meigen, 1826).

    NAUJOS IR RETOS LIETUVOS VABZDŽI Ų R ŪŠYS. 21 tomas 129 NEW RECORDS OF FANNIIDAE AND MUSCIDAE (DIPTERA) FROM LITHUANIA ERIKAS LUTOVINOVAS 1, RUDOLF ROZKOŠNÝ 2 Department of Botany and Zoology, Masaryk University, Kotlá řská 2, CZ-611 37 Brno, the Czech Republic. E-mail: 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Introduction Fanniidae and Muscidae are closely related families that chiefly are inhabitants of natural and semi-natural habitats and only a small part of them are adapted to cultural ecosystems. Nevertheless, several species belong even to the well known synanthropic forms that have a certain hygienic, medical and veterinary importance. Altogether 11 species of Fanniidae and 119 species of Muscidae were recently treated in the national checklist of flies and one additional publication (Pakalniškis et al. , 2006; Lutovinovas, 2008). Further faunistic news are presented herewith. Material and Methods The basic part of the material is deposited in the collection of the first author of this report and the extant of that in Kaunas T. Ivanauskas Zoological Museum (Lithuania). The material was collected in 1996–2008 episodically. Sweeping and Malaise traps were used in the field (in the state protected areas mainly), while less number of specimens were obtained from indoors in many places and by several collectors. The flies were identified using keys to the European species (Rozkošný et al., 1997; Gregor et al ., 2002). The list of Lithuanian species was compiled from two recent sources (Pakalniškis et al. , 2006; Lutovinovas, 2008). The taxonomy of both families follows Pont (2004).

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.

These flies can be harmful to animal health and cause annoyance and discomfort. All filth flies have an egg, larva (maggot), pupa, and adult stage in their life cycle. The adult fly has 2 developed wings (the hind pair is reduced to a knobbed balancing organ). Filth flies are usually scavengers in nature and many are capable of transmitting diseases to man. Filth flies can usu- ally be grouped according to their habits and appearance as house flies and their relatives; flesh flies, blow flies and bottle flies, filter flies, soldier flies, and vinegar (fruit) flies.

Global diversity of dipteran families (Insecta Diptera) in freshwater (excluding Simulidae, Culicidae, Chironomidae, Tipulidae and Tabanidae) Abstract Today’s knowledge of worldwide species diversity of 19 families of aquatic Diptera in Continental Waters is presented. Nevertheless, we have to face for certain in most groups a restricted knowledge about distribution, ecology and systematic,

Behavioral fever, or fighting infection by moving to warm locations, is seen in many ectotherms. The behavior-manipulating fungal pathogen Entomophthora muscae infects numerous dipterans, including fruit flies and ​ ​ ​ ​ house flies, Musca domestica. House flies have been shown to exhibit robust behavioral fever ​ ​ early after exposure to E.
