A New Species of Blepharicera Macquart (Diptera: Blephariceridae) from Western North America Abstract During a review of the Blepharicera of western North America, we discovered a new species from several mid- sized rivers in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. We hereby present descriptions of the larvae, pupae, and adults of B. kalmiopsis, new species. Diagnostic characters and a brief discussion of bionomics and distribution are also provided. Based on previous and ongoing studies, B. kalmiopsis clearly belongs to the B. micheneri Alexander species group and appears closely related to B. zionensis Alexander.

  • Evaluation of Seedling Tray Drench of Insecticides for Cabbage Maggot (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) Management in Broccoli and Cauliflower
    Evaluation of seedling tray drench of insecticides for cabbage maggot (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) management in broccoli and cauliflower Shimat V. Joseph1,*, and Shanna Iudice2 Abstract The larval stages of cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), attack the roots of cruciferous crops and often cause severe eco- nomic damage. Although lethal insecticides are available to controlD. radicum, efficacy can be improved by the placement of residues near the roots where the pest is actively feeding and causing injury. One such method is drenching seedlings with insecticide before transplanting, referred to as “tray drench.” The efficacy of insecticides, when applied as tray drench, is not thoroughly understood for transplants of broccoli and cauliflower. Thus, a series of seedling tray drench trials were conducted on transplants of these 2 vegetables using cyantraniliprole, chlorantraniliprole, clothianidin, bifenthrin, flupyradifurone, chlorpyrifos, and spinetoram in greenhouse and field settings. In the greenhouse trials, the severityD. of radicum feeding injury was significantly lower on broccoli and cauliflower transplants when drenched with clothianidin, bifenthrin, and cyantraniliprole compared with untreated controls. In broccoli field trials, incidence and severity of feeding injury was lower in seedlings drenched with cyantraniliprole and clothianidin, as well as a clothianidin spray at the base of seedlings, than the use of spinetoram, chlorpyrifos, flupyradifurone, and chlorantraniliprole.

Blephariceridae, Net-Winged Midges Abstract Net-winged midges (Diptera: Blephariceridae) are a small group of highly specialized aquatic flies. The immature stages are remarkable in their adaptations to and intimate association with torrential streams. Structural adaptations of larvae include six ventral suctorial disks, which function as hydraulic suckers and allow for secure attachment to current-exposed substrata. Other unusual features include a fused head, thorax, and first abdominal segment ( =·cephalothorax or cephalic division), which keeps the anterior larval body compact and close to the boundary layer while the larva is feeding. Pupae also are well adapted to torrential streams, being dorsoventrally compressed, streamlined, and attached immovably to rocks by three to four pairs of ventrolateral adhesive disks. Adult blepharicerids are slender bodied and long legged and show a diversity of habits. Despite their unique appearance, wide distribution, and trophic significance, data about net-winged midges emainr scattered and incomplete (e.g., Courtney 2000a,b).

  • Anthomyiidae Recording Scheme Newsletter No. 12
    Anthomyiidae Recording Scheme Newsletter No 12 Spring 2020 By the time you read this in print, the collecting season for Anthomyiidae could once again be well under way. The previous Newsletter a year ago (see Bulletin No 86) highlighted three genera, Egle, Chiastocheta and Leucophora which are particularly suitable for targeted recording in the spring, so please look back at that issue if you are not already familiar with them. If you have good relations with local bee recorders, you might encourage them to look out for and catch Leucophora females lurking near the burrows of solitary bees. Noting the bee species on any such records would give added value. This issue reviews the continuing growth of the Recording Scheme database as well as where to find data on Anthomyiidae from other sources. Another good genus for targeted recording later in the season is Chirosia with its twelve species currently recorded in Britain, all of whose larvae attack ferns. As with Pegomya leaf-miners discussed in Newsletter No 11, the feeding signs of some species are popular amongst recorders, but the association with particular species is not as clear-cut as previously suppose, as discussed in the final item. Current State of Recording Database The number of records credited to the Anthomyiidae Recording Scheme on the NBN Atlas was 17,374 in early December 2019. This is a 153% increase on the 6846 which were initially uploaded to IRECORD in autumn 2017. However, the number of Anthomyiidae records on the NBN Atlas amounted to 30,643, a factor 1.76 greater.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Blepharicera asiatica (Brodsky, 1930) is newly recorded from China. Two species, Blepharicera hainana sp. nov. and B. hebeiensis sp. nov., are described as new to science. A key to the known species of the genus Blepharicera from China is presented. Key words: net-winged midge, taxonomy, Holarctic, Oriental Introduction Blepharicera is distributed only in the Holarctic Region and Oriental Region. Currently, there are Fifty-one known species in the world. Five western and twenty-three eastern Nearctic species had been described (Courtney 2000b; Hogue 1978, 1986, 1989; Jacobson et al. 2011). Twenty-three species occur in Palaearctic Region and Oriental Region, including two doubtful species, B. alhnicola Kaul and B. rahlaea Kaul (Alexander 1922, 1924, 1952, 1953; Brunetti 1911; Jacobson et al. 2006; Kaul 1971;Kitakami 1931, 1937, 1950; Soós et al. 1992; Zwick 1997, 1998, 2005). The first-known Asian species of Blepharicera were described by Alexander and Kitakami. They recorded ten species distributed in Japan, China, Korea, Thailand and the Philippines (Alexander 1922, 1924, 1952, 1953; Kitakami 1931, 1937, 1950). Recently, most Palaearctic and Oriental species of Blepharicera were described by Zwick.

COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Survey and ecology of Botanophila fonsecai Ackland (Diptera, Anthomyiidae), a seed fly endemic to Scotland Commissioned Report No.: 618 Contractor: D. Gibbs Year of publication: 2013 Background The global distribution of the BAP-listed Fonseca's seed fly (Botanophila fonsecai) is believed to be restricted to a strip of sand and sparse herbage about 100-m long and a few metres wide on the north shore of the Dornoch Firth. As a putative endemic, B. fonsecai should be one of Scotland's biodiversity priorities, in accordance with the Rio Biodiversity Convention. Because of its limited distribution, B. fonsecai population is intrinsically small, therefore subject to random demographic fluctuations and environmental vicissitudes.

  • The Effect of Invertebrate Infestation and Its Correlation with Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta Caretta) Nest Success in Laganas Bay, Zakynthos, Greece
    The effect of invertebrate infestation and its correlation with loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nest success in Laganas Bay, Zakynthos, Greece Adam J. Andrews1, Andrew C. Smith1, ALan F. Rees2 & Dimitris Margaritoulis2 1Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, CB1 1PT, UK (E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]); 2ARCHELON, Solomou 57, GR104-32 Athens, Greece (E-mail:[email protected], [email protected]) Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nests are vulnerable to relative threat of this source of predation of sea turtle eggs (Bolton predators and scavengers, including invertebrates (Paris et al. 2002). et al. 2008). Dipteran larvae (Phoridae and Sarcophagidae) have been found to At the rookery level, infestation may be high, with reports of infest loggerhead and green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests both 90% (Lopes 1982) and 84.6% (Hall & Parmenter 2006) of nests in northern Cyprus (Broderick & Hancock 1997; McGowan et al. being infested. However, at nest level, infestation is typically much 2001a), and Australia (Hall & Parmenter 2006), green sea turtle lower, e.g., 10.6% (Broderick & Hancock 1997), 0.8% (McGowan nests in Costa Rica and Mexico (Fowler 1979; Lopes 1982), as well et al. 2001a) and 3.6% (Katılmış et al. 2006) of eggs within a nest as hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) (Bjorndal et al. 1985) and being infested. In terms of nest success, Gautreau (2007) noted that leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) nests in Costa Rica it was not significantly lower for infested leatherback nests in Costa (Gautreau 2007). In the Mediterranean, coleopteran larvae were Rica, as did Bolton et al. (2008) for spiny softshell turtles (Apalone found to infest loggerhead nests in Turkey (Baran & Türkozan 1996) spinifera) in Canada.

  • The Wing Stalk in Diptera, with Some Notes on the Higher-Level Phylogeny of the Order
    POINT OF VIEW Eur. J. Entomol. 105: 27–33, 2008 http://www.eje.cz/scripts/viewabstract.php?abstract=1297 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) The wing stalk in Diptera, with some notes on the higher-level phylogeny of the order JAROSLAV STARÝ Department of Zoology and Laboratory of Ornithology, Faculty of Science of the Palacký University, tĜ. Svobody 26, 771 46 Olomouc, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Diptera, morphology, wing stalk, higher-level phylogeny Abstract. The wing stalk in Diptera is examined, and its structures are re-evaluated and re-interpreted. The non-homology of A2 in Tipulomorpha and “A2” in other Diptera is claimed. Some notes are presented on the higher-level phylogeny of Diptera, especially those concerning Tipulomorpha. The family Trichoceridae is restored among Tipulomorpha, and the Tipulomorpha are re-affirmed as the sister group of the remaining Diptera. The clade Anisopodidae + Culicomorpha + Bibionomorpha is suggested as the sister group of Brachycera. INTRODUCTION chodomorpha, and particular taxa are treated at family Hennig (1968) published a comprehensive treatment of level. The infraorders accepted are conceived here as fol- the evolution of the wing base in Diptera, i.e., the com- lows: Tipulomorpha: Trichoceridae, Limoniidae, Pedicii- plex of features within the so-called wing stalk, mainly dae, Tipulidae, Cylindrotomidae; Culicomorpha: Simuli- idae, Dixidae, Culicidae, Thaumaleidae, Ceratopogon- the reduction of A2 and the development of the alula. He idae, Chironomidae; Bibionomorpha: Cecidomyiidae, concluded that A2 is reduced in Diptera other than Tipulo- morpha and only retained as a more or less sclerotised, Bibionidae, Axymyiidae, Mycetophilidae s.
