A revision of the new world species of Polytrichophora Cresson and Facitrichophora, new genus (Diptera, Ephydridae)

A revision of the new world species of Polytrichophora Cresson and Facitrichophora, new genus (Diptera, Ephydridae)

This revision significantly documents a continuing trend in the discovery and documentation of New World shore flies (Diptera: Ephydridae). Two genera of the tribe Discocerinini are treated: Facitrichophora, new genus, with all four included species being newly described, and Polytrichophora Cresson with 19 species, including 11 that are newly described. Previously, eight species were known from the New World. The authors emphasize structures of the male terminalia, which are fully described and illustrated, in the recognition of species and species groups. In addition, detailed locality data and distribution maps for all species are provided. Much of this increase has resulted from a greatly improved sampling of the New World fauna, which documents an ongoing need for field work and better taxon sampling of earth?s shore-fly fauna.

Revision of New World Species of the Shore-fly Subgenus Allotrichoma Becker of the Genus Allotrichoma with Description of the Subgenus Neotrichoma (Diptera, Ephydridae, Hecamedini)

Revision of New World Species of the Shore-fly Subgenus Allotrichoma Becker of the Genus Allotrichoma with Description of the Subgenus Neotrichoma (Diptera, Ephydridae, Hecamedini)

The New World species of the subgenera Allotrichoma Becker and Neotrichoma (new subgenus) (genus Allotrichoma) are revised. For phylogenetic perspective to this revision, we studied all genus-group taxa within the tribe Hecamedini and reassessed their cladis-tic relationships. Our phylogenetic study for taxa within the genus Allotrichoma was done at the species-group level, and we attempted to approach this globally by examining species from throughout the world and placing them into appropriate species groups. With-in Allotrichoma, we recognize three subgenera. All known species from the New World are described with an emphasis on structures of the male terminalia, which are fully illustrated. We more than double the number of species known from the New World with six of 12 species in the subgenus Allotrichoma being described herein, and in a newly described subgenus, Neotrichoma, two of the three species from the New World are also described.

A revision of the shore-fly genus Hydrochasma Hendel (Diptera, Ephydridae)

A revision of the shore-fly genus Hydrochasma Hendel (Diptera, Ephydridae)

This revision comprehensively documents species of the shore-fly genus Hydrochasma Hendel, which is one of three genera of the shore-fly tribe Discocerinini (subfamily Gymnomyzinae) that occurs exclusively in the New World. The other two genera are Pectinifer Cresson and Facitrichophora Mathis & Zatwarnicki. All known species of Hydrochasma are described with an em-phasis on structures of the male terminalia, which are fully de-scribed and illustrated. In addition, detailed locality data and dis-tribution maps for all species are provided. Among New World genera of Discocerinini, Hydrochasma is perhaps the least well known, as indicated by the dramatic increase in recognized species reported...

A revision of the New World species of Gymnoclasiopa Hendel (Diptera, Ephydridae)

A revision of the New World species of Gymnoclasiopa Hendel (Diptera, Ephydridae)

This revision comprehensively documents the New World species of the shore-fly genus Gymnoclasiopa, which primarily has a Holarctic distribution, including some species that are found in both the Nearctic and Palearctic Regions. Discovering additional species common to both biogeographic regions was an objective of this study, as was unraveling any nomenclatural issues that resulted when the same species was described separately in both biogeographic regions. Ten species are treated, including two that are newly described. The authors also document the obvious sexual dimorphism that is evident in some species but which was not previously appreciated, resulting in confused concepts of some species. The authors emphasize structures of the male terminalia, which are fully described and illustrated, in the recognition of species. In addition, detailed locality data and distribution maps for all species are provided. Much of this increase has resulted from a greatly improved sampling of the New World fauna, documenting the ongoing need for field work and better taxon sampling of the earth?s shore-fly fauna.

  • Publisher: BRILL

In The Greenland Entomofauna an international team of 64 taxonomic specialists provide for the first time a richly illustrated guide to the identification of the ≈1200 species of Hexapods/Insects, Arachnids and Myriapods so far known to occur in the country. While the composition, origin and adaptations of the Greenland fauna has always been a challenge to biogeographers and ecologists/ecophysiologists, the provision of a tool for detailed identification of its constituent species is now particularly timely, since global climate change will expectedly have a particularly noticeable impact on biota at high latitudes. This obviously renders the feasibility of monitoring distributional range ...
