WPROWADZENIE Widelnice są słabo poznanym rzędem owadów, uważanym do tej pory za jeden z najbardziej prymitywnych. Powyższa opinia została wydana na podstawie cech ze­ wnętrznych; w ostatnich latach okazało się, że istotnych informacji o poziomie roz­ woju ewolucyjnego i pokrewieństwach (filogenezy) owadów dostarczają badania struktury, funkcji i rozwoju jajników, które są jednymi z bardziej konserwatywnych (opornych na wpływy środowiska zewnętrznego) narządów wewnętrznych. Prezento­ wane niżej wyniki, dotyczące gonad żeńskich widelnic, stanowią część rezultatów, uzyskanych w ramach szerszego projektu badań filogenezy owadów w oparciu o bu­ dowę i funkcję jajników. Projekt ten został podjęty przez grupę badawczą w Zakładzie Zoologii Systematycznej i Zoogeografii Instytutu Zoologii UJ we współpracy z Insty­ tutem Zoologicznym Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego. Niniejsze podsumowanie dotyczy opisu budowy i rozwoju jajników widelnic w oparciu o wyniki badań 26 gatunków, reprezentujących oba wyróżniane podrzędy Plecoptera: Arctoperlaria (Euholognatha + Systellognatha) oraz Antarctoperlaria. Szczególną uwagę poświęciłam omówieniu rezultatów badań porównawczych organi­ zacji kapsuł jajowych widelnic różnych środowisk. I.

E. S., Chief of the Biological Department, Cawthron Institute of Scientific Research,. Nelson, New Zealand. For some years past I have been studying the Perlaria of Australia and New Zealand, about which little has been made known up to the present. Taken in connection with the forms already described from Southern Chile, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and the Subantartic Islands, these insects form a very distinct Notogaean Fauna, clearly marked off from the Perlaria of the Northern Hemis­ phere and of the Tropics by the fact that it is made up almost entirely of very archaic types. No representatives of the highly, specialized Perlidae (including Perlodidae) occur in these regions; no Pteronarcidae, in the strict sense in which that family will be defined in this paper; no Capniidae, Taeniopterygidae or Leuctridae; and only one or two isolated forms of Nemouridae (genus Udamocercia of Enderlein). In attempting to classify the known Notogaean forms of Perlaria, I have had recourse not only to all available imaginal characters, but also to as care­ ful a study of the individual life-histories as the rareness of most of the forms would permit.

These insects had small wing-like lateral expansions of the prothorax, and a fairly well- developed posterior (concave) median vein in both wings, both of which have been lost in modern stoneflies. Developments in some of the mor- phological features which have been most studied are as follows: Nymphal mouth parts: The holognathous families are characterized by bulky mandibles, by short thick palpi, and by having the paraglossae and glossae of the labium about equal in length. In the adult the man- dibles remain large and functional.

Let me first thank everyone for sending in such interesting articles – I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together! With that, please let me encourage all of you to consider contributing articles that may be of interest to the Diptera community. Fly Times offers a great forum to report on your research activities and to make requests for taxa being studied, as well as to report interesting observations about flies, to discuss new and improved methods, to advertise opportunities for dipterists, and to report on or announce meetings relevant to the community. This is also a great place to report on your interesting (and hopefully fruitful) collecting activities! The electronic version of the Fly Times continues to be hosted on the North American Dipterists Society website at http://www.nadsdiptera.org/News/FlyTimes/Flyhome.htm. The Diptera community would greatly appreciate your independent contributions to this newsletter. For this issue, I want to again thank all the contributors for sending me so many great articles! That said, we need even more reports on trips, collections, methods, updates, and anything else you can think of about flies, with all the associated digital images you wish to provide. Feel free to share your opinions or provide ideas on how to improve the newsletter (I am very happy to hear ways that I can enhance it!).

  • (Alpine Stonefly) Listing Advice Page 1 of 6
    The Minister included this species in the endangered category, effective from 31 March 2011 Advice to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on Amendment to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Name Thaumatoperla alpina The species is commonly known as the Alpine Stonefly. It is in the Family Eustheniidae. 2. Reason for Conservation Assessment by the Committee This advice follows assessment of information provided by a public nomination to list the Alpine Stonefly. The nominator suggested listing in the endangered category of the list. This is the Committee’s first consideration of the species under the EPBC Act. 3. Summary of Conclusion The Committee judges that the species has been demonstrated to have met sufficient elements of Criterion 2 to make it eligible for listing as endangered. 4. Taxonomy The species is conventionally accepted as Thaumatoperla alpina Burns and Neboiss, 1957 (Alpine Stonefly). 5. Description The Alpine Stonefly is the largest of the Australian stoneflies, with final instar nymphs reaching 49 mm in length, excluding antennae and cerci (the paired appendage on the rear- most segment). Early stages of the nymphs have greenish gills and a green abdomen. Larger specimens are green-brown in colour, with a red tinge on the pronotum (the upper surface of the first thoracic segment) (Hynes, 1978). There can be some patterning on the pronotum (Bryce, 2001) and abdominal gills are creased (Hynes, 1978). Adults are similar in size to the final instar nymphs, with light green to yellow-grey abdomens with some black colouration and blue-black wings.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Thaumatoperla Alpina (Alpine Stonefly) (S266b of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999)
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister on 14 March 2011 Approved Conservation Advice for Thaumatoperla alpina (Alpine Stonefly) (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Thaumatoperla alpina, Family Eustheniidae, also known as the Alpine Stonefly, is the largest of the Australian stoneflies. Final instar nymphs reach 49 mm in length, excluding antennae and cerci (the paired appendage on the rear-most segment). Early stages of the nymphs have greenish gills and a green abdomen. Larger specimens are green-brown in colour, with a red tinge on the pronotum (the upper surface of the first thoracic segment). There can be some patterning on the pronotum and abdominal gills are creased (Hynes, 1978). Adults are similar in size to the final instar nymphs, with light green to yellow-grey abdomens with some black colouration and blue-black wings. The pronotum and leg sockets around the thorax are orange to orange-red. There is a large black spot in the centre of the pronotum. Although they have wings, the adults are largely flightless (Brittain, 1990). Conservation Status The Alpine Stonefly is listed as endangered. This species is eligible for listing as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as it has a restricted geographic distribution with an estimated area of occupancy of approximately 55 km2 and an extent of occurrence of approximately 195 km2.
