Slez. Muz. Opava (A), 61: 181-186, 2012. A b s t r a c t : Homalocephala albitarsis Zetterstedt, 1838 (Ulidiidae) is added to the fauna of the Czech Republic based on record from the Frýdlant area in N. Bohemia. It is the second species of the genus Homalocephala Zetterstedt, 1837 reported from the Czech Republic. The distribution and biology of H. albitarsis are reviewed. The new record is given with illustrated habitat data, and its significance discussed. K e y w o r d s : Diptera, Ulidiidae, Homalocephala albitarsis, new record, Czech Republic, biology, distribution Introduction The genus Homalocephala Zetterstedt, 1838 (Diptera: Ulidiidae) belongs together with Seioptera Kirby, 1817 and Pseudoseioptera Stackelberg, 1955 to the tribe Seiopterini Kameneva & Korneyev, 1994 and is most closely allied to the latter genus. With seven included species (Krivosheina & Krivosheina 1995, 1997; Kameneva, 2008) it is the most diverse genus of the tribe (see Kameneva & Korneyev 1994). In Europe, six species of Homalocephala are known (Andersson 1991; Kameneva 2008; Kameneva & Greve 2011), all having predominantly boreal or boreo-montane distributions. Although five of them have also been found in Central Europe (Kameneva 2008; Kameneva & Greve 2011) records in the area are infrequent and they are mostly very old. Indeed, except for H. biumbrata (Wahlberg, 1839) which has recently been recorded from France (Merz & Rohá ček 2005), N.

  • Abstract Wallace, Charles Reid. A
    ABSTRACT WALLACE, CHARLES REID. A Molecular and Morphological Analysis of Ulidiidae (Diptera: Tephritoidea). (Under the direction of Brian M. Wiegmann). Ulidiidae (Diptera: Tephritoidea) is a relatively small family of true flies, called the “picture-winged flies” for their patterned wings. Its relationship to the other members of Tephritoidea, and its monophyly, has been well established, through both morphological and molecular analysis. Its subfamilial relationships, however, have received limited molecular analysis, having had a significant cross-section of the family’s taxa represented in only two molecular studies (Galinskaya et al. 2014, Han and Ro 2016). The most contemporary treatment of the classification of the family is by Kamenev and Korneyev (2006), according to which the Ulidiidae is divided into two subfamilies (Otitinae, Ulidiinae), each of which is further delineated into tribes (Cephaliini, Myennidini, Otitini; Lipsanini, Pterocallini, Seiopterini, Ulidiini, respectively), with an additional incertae sedis group of genera within the Otitinae. These classifications are based solely on morphological analysis, and there remain multiple outstanding questions of the placement and monophyly regarding the tribes or several large, diverse, or enigmatic genera. Here, using the next-generation sequencing method of anchored hybrid enrichment, I investigate the phylogeny of Ulidiidae with particular attention paid to the constituency and monophyly of hypothesized tribes, monophyly of the two sub-families, and placement of genera. Through maximum likelihood analysis, my results establish strong support for the separation of Ulidiidae into two monophyletic subfamilies, but challenges the assignment of Myennidini to the Ulidiidae, and potentially of Seiopterini to the Ulidiinae. It additionally suggests the paraphyly of the tribe Pterocallini with respect to both Myennidini and Lipsanini, but supports the monophyly of all other tribes.

(e-mail : [email protected]) Summary The genus Homalocephala Zetterstedt, 1838 with the species Homalocephala biumbrata (Wahlberg, 1838) are reported for the first time from Belgium. Many adult flies were recorded on 14 June 2013 at Arlon (province of Luxembourg) on a trunk of hybrid black poplar ( Populus x canadensis ) felled by a European beaver ( Castor fiber Linnaeus, 1758), along the river Semois, at an altitude of 370 m a.s.l. The occurrence of this boreo-montane fly with saproxylic larva is commented. Keywords: Diptera, Ulidiidae, Homalocephala biumbrata , Populus , Belgium. Résumé Le genre Homalocephala Zetterstedt, 1838 et l’espèce Homalocephala biumbrata (Wahlberg, 1838) sont signalés pour la première fois de Belgique. De nombreux adultes ont été notés le 14 juin 2013 à Arlon (province de Luxemboug), sur le tronc d’un peuplier hybride ( Populus x canadensis ) abattu par un castor ( Castor fiber Linnaeus, 1758), au bord de la Semois, à une altitude de 370 m. La découverte de ce diptère boréo-montagnard à larve saproxylique est commentée. Introduction Les Ulidiidae (incl. Otitidae) constituent une famille de diptères d’une richesse modérée comptant 108 espèces recensées en Europe (KAMENEVA & GREVE , 2013). En Belgique, cette famille apparaît particulièrement mal connue sur le plan faunistique si l’on en juge par la rareté des matériaux de collections et des données de la littérature, publiées pour la plupart durant la première moitié du 20ème siècle.

  • Diptera: Tephritoidea
    Canadian Journal of Arthropod Identification No. 45 (April, 2021) WALLACE An illustrated identification key to the genera of Ulidiidae (Diptera: Tephritoidea) of the United States and Canada Charles Wallace Biology, School of Life Sciences, The College of Liberal Arts & Science, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, 85281, United States [email protected] Abstract Ulidiidae, the “picture-winged flies,” are a family of true flies belonging to the superfamily Tephritoidea. Over 130 of the family’s approximately 700 species, and 40 of its 128 genera, have been documented north of Mexico in the United States and Canada. Although the family is primarily saprophagous and commonly found in association with feces or decaying plant tissue, several species are known to be pestiferous on crops significant to agribusiness, primarily in the American southeast. Here the taxonomic key provided in the “Otitidae” chapter of the Manual of Nearctic Diptera (Steyskal 1987) is updated with color photographs, including notes on taxonomy and distribution of species. Specimens from collections at North Carolina State University, the Florida State Collection of Arthropods, and the National Museum of Natural history were photographed using a Canon DSLR and macro lens, and focus stacked using Zerene Stacker. Information on distribution of species was taken from collection records, online databases, and previous publications. Steyskal, G.C. 1987. Otitidae. In Manual of Nearctic Diptera. Volume 2. Edited by J.F. McAlpine. Agriculture Canada, Hull, Quebec, Canada. Pp: 799-808.

  • The First Records of the Pictured-Winged Fly Homalocephala Bimaculata (Wahlberg, 1838) (Diptera, Ulidiidae) from Norway
    © Norwegian Journal of Entomology. 24 June 2020 The first records of the pictured-winged fly Homalocephala bimaculata (Wahlberg, 1838) (Diptera, Ulidiidae) from Norway JØRN R. GUSTAD, ARVE G. GRÆSDAL & IAIN MACGOWAN Gustad, J.R., Græsdal, A.G. & MacGowan, I. 2020. The first records of the pictured-winged fly Homalocephala bimaculata (Wahlberg, 1838) (Diptera, Ulidiidae) from Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 67, 74–80. The picture-winged flyHomalocephala bimaculata (Wahlberg, 1838) is reported from Norway for the first time bringing to five the number of species of Homalocephala Zetterstedt, 1838 reported from the country. H. bimaculata is recorded from Hvaler, Viken, and Oslo, Oslo, and, based on numerous and scattered records, the species is considered to be under-recorded due to its secretive lifestyle. The species is regarded as native and, based on the many ovipositioning females observed, reproducing successfully. Comments on biology, distribution, habitat, and identification characters are provided. Key words: Diptera, Ulidiidae, Homalocephala bimaculata, first record, Norway, biology, distribution. Jørn R.

  • Family Ulidiidae
    Family Ulidiidae This key is an adaptation of my translation of Hennig, W. (1939) 46/47. Otitidae. In: E. Lindner (ed.). Die Fliegen der palaearktischen Region, 5(1). It takes into account changes in nomenclature and is restricted to the British fauna as listed on the Dipterists Forum website. Key to UK subfamilies 1 Vein r1 bare or if with bristles (genus Homalocephala), then no bristles present on the mesopleura (only pale silky hairs, the same thickness as those covering the mesonotum). Male with aedeagus bare. .................... .......... Subfamily Ulidiinae Vein r1 with hairs or bristles, or if bare, (Seioptera vibrans) then mesopleurals absent and 2 sternopleurals present; at least one bristle present on the mesopleura. Male with aedeagus at least hairy........................................................................................ ..........Subfamily Otitinae ` It is the form of the aedeagus of the male reproductive system that gives the key difference between the subfamilies. It is bare in Uidiinae and at least hairy in Otitinae. Creative Commons. English translation from the German by Mike Hackston © 2014; original by W Hennig (1939). Nomenclature updated. Subfamily Ulidiinae - key to UK genera and species 1 Vein r1 with bristles; anal cell without a pointed extension along the anal vein.
