Dezember 1996 Zweiflügler aus Bayern VIII (Platystomatidae, Otitidae, Ulidiidae, Tephritidae, Lonchaeidae, Pallopteridae, Neottiophilidae, Piophilidae, Clusiidae) KLAUS VON DER DUNK Abstract The paper gives an overview on the occurence of lesser known fly families in Bavaria. Many of these species summed here are specialized in their habitat, so they were seldom searched for and consequently are rarely represented in collections. Nevertheless especially the data of Tephri- tidae show a fairly good knowledge of the distribution throughout Bavaria. - The Platystomatidae are represendet with 3 species, the Otitidae with 20, the Ulidiidae with 3, the Tephritidae with 90, the Lonchaeidae with 8, the Pallopteridae with 11, the Neottiophilidae with 1, the Piophilidae with 8, and the Clusiidae with 4.

Einleitung Bis auf die Tephritidae handelt es sich um artenarme Familien. Spezialisiert auf bestimmte Umweltbedingungen, sind die meisten Arten relativ selten zu sehen und dementsrechend auch in Sammlungen wenig vertreten. Wie bei den vorhergehenden Beiträgen dieser Reihe wurde versucht, ein möglichst vollständiges Bild der bisherigen Beobachtungen zu erhalten.

Acta Biologica Sibirica 6: 637–647. https://doi.org/10.3897/abs.6.e59735 Abstract Eleven leaf-miner tephritid fly species from 7 genera are reviewed for four regions in the south-eastern part of West Siberia, Russia, namely Tomskaya and Kemerovskaya Oblasts, Altaiskii Krai, and Repub- lics of Altai and Khakassia. The share of leaf-miner species in the tephritid fly fauna of the region is 10.2%. Cornutrypeta svetlanae Richter & Shcherbakov, 2000, recorded from four regions, is the most numerous and widely distributed species preferring forest belt in the mountains of Kuznetskii Alatau (Kemerovskaya Oblast and Khakassia), North Altai (Republic of Altai) and West Altai (Altaiskii Krai). Two species are registered in only one region, namely Cornutrypeta spinifrons (Schroeder, 1913) in the forest belt of the Kuznetskii Alatau mountains (Kemerovskaya Oblast) and Hemilea dimidiata (Costa, 1844) in the forest meadows of Tomskaya Oblast. The rarest species in the region areCornutrypeta spinifrons (Schroeder, 1913) and Trypeta zoe Meigen, 1826 known by single or several specimens only.

  • Cyto Taxonomy
    * Dr . G. B. CHAND Associate Professor Aquatic toxicology Laboratory Department of Zoology Patna University, Patna Email : [email protected] * INTRODUCTION Zoological nomenclature: . Zoological nomenclature is independent of other systems of nomenclature, for example botanical nomenclature. This implies that animals can have the same generic names as plants. The rules and recommendations have one fundamental aim: ―to provide the maximum universality and continuity in the naming of all animals, except where taxonomic judgment dictates otherwise”. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of organisms treated as animals. It is also informally known as the ICZN Code, for its publisher, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (which shares the acronym "ICZN"). The rules principally regulate: A. How names are correctly established in the frame of binominal nomenclature? B. Which name must be used in case of name conflicts? C. How scientific literature must cite names? . The rules in the code determine what names are valid for any taxon in the family group, genus group, and species group. It has additional (but more limited) provisions on names in higher ranks. The code recognizes no case law. Any dispute is decided first by applying the code directly, and not by reference to precedent. * RULES FOR ZOOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE Like any code of law, the international code presents the rules starkly and without explanation. Even the experienced taxonomist some times, find difficulties to interpret the rules, and the beginner is often totally bewildered. The difficulty of understanding individual provisions is further aggravated by the un availability of a well articulated presentation of then basic principles, which the individual rules attempt to implement.
