In the description, he mainly indicated a few differences from + +D. assimilis + +. Main differential characters were the glossy black abdomen [ +ejus nihilominus totum castaneo-nigrum est et nitidum +], the almost glossy collar [ +collare et scutellum nigra subnitida +], the black scutellar spines [ +spinae scutellares et metathoracicae piceo-nigrae +] and (in the + +D. assimilis + +description) the pollinose scutum [ +niger, obscurus, haud nitidus, cinerascentisericeus +]. +Feijen and Feijen (2009) +already indicated that from the combination of characters given by Westwood it appears quite certain that + +D. abdominalis + +belongs to the + +D. indica + +species-group. The combination of pollinose scutum, black scutellar spines and blackish abdomen confidently points in that direction. In 1907, Austen identified specimens in BMNH as belonging to + +D. abdominalis + +. They originated from +India +, +Myanmar +and +Thailand +.At least the +Indian +specimens (ex coll. Bowring) conform well with Westwood’s original description in, for example, glossy collar, pollinose scutum and scutellum, small apical wing spot and almost black abdomen. In +India +, several species of the + +D. indica + +species-group with blackish abdomens occur. Of the flies now examined, specimens from +Karnataka +with their black scutellar spines appear to conform best ( +Fig. 8 +) and will, at a later stage, be redescribed, with designation of a +neotype +. As far as the colour of the dorsal abdomen in +Indian + +Diopsis + +is concerned, care has to be taken in its use as a differential character as some intraspecific variation does occur. Larger series have to be studied, while the study of genitalia and DNA analyses are paramount. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/B2/FD/03B2FD6DFFB3FFE319FC7CAD577BFE71.xml b/data/03/B2/FD/03B2FD6DFFB3FFE319FC7CAD577BFE71.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..6d9cddc3798 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/B2/FD/03B2FD6DFFB3FFE319FC7CAD577BFE71.xml @@ -0,0 +1,665 @@ + + + +An annotated catalogue of the stalk-eyed flies (Diopsidae: Diptera) of India with description of new species in Megalabops Frey and Teleopsis Rondani + + + +Author + +Feijen, Hans R. + + + +Author + +Feijen, Cobi + + + +Author + +O., P. + +text + + +Israel Journal of Entomology + + +2019 + +Oxford, England + + +2019-07-24 + + +49 + + +2 + + +35 +72 + + + + +http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3349984 + +journal article +10.5281/zenodo.3349984 +2224-6304 +3349984 +04AA7D11-C6F0-4A27-8635-1D9B7362CA04 + + + + + + +Teleopsis amnoni + +n. sp. + + + + + +( +Figs 30, 31 +, +33–38 +, +41–51 +) + + + +Teleopsis sykesii + +: Feijen & Feijen 2011: in part, only p. 145, fig. 3. + + +LSID: + +urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: +6C132E9F-8438-4418-9F1C-67E17142333B + +. + + + + +Etymology: +It is a pleasure to name this species after Dr Amnon Freidberg.

As such, their environment can be described as follows: natural or slightly disturbed forest, not far from a stream and in the Sahyadri (Western Ghats). In the dry season, both + +Teleopsis + +can be found in or near cave-like structures. Given their distribution in western +India +, the two species of the + +T. sykesii + +species-group are geographically strongly isolated from other + +Teleopsis + +. The two + +T. sykesii + +records for +Myanmar +are very doubtful (Feijen & Feijen 2011). The closest other + +Teleopsis + +can be found in +Sri Lanka +: the equally isolated + +T. ferruginea + +species-group (Feijen 2011: 81). Otherwise the nearest + +Teleopsis + +members are found in +Thailand +and Peninsular +Malaysia +. + + +The sister species + +T. sykesii + +shows moderate sexual dimorphy with regard to the eye span, D=1.51 (Feijen & Feijen 2011). The rate of dimorphy D is calculated as the difference in allometric slope for males and females. Allometric slope is the least-squares regression slope of eye span on body length. For + +T. sykesii + +, these slopes are for males 2.65 ± SE 0.10 (n=58) and for females 1.14 ± 0.03 (n=97). Of course, D cannot be determined from two data points available for + +T. amnoni + +, but their position in relation to the allometric lines for + +T. sykesii + +( +Fig. 51 +), gives an indication that D for + +T. amnoni + +could be slightly higher than for + +T. sykesii + +. The difference in ratio eye span/body length is also larger in + +T. amnoni + +with +0.84 in +♀ +(n=1) and 1.34 (n=1) in +♂ +. For + +T. sykesii + +these ratios are respectively 0.93 (n=97) and 1.23 (n=58). + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/D4/87/03D487FBFFB2423FFE5FFABC37BCFE72.xml b/data/03/D4/87/03D487FBFFB2423FFE5FFABC37BCFE72.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..c7239d271c7 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/D4/87/03D487FBFFB2423FFE5FFABC37BCFE72.xml @@ -0,0 +1,742 @@ + + + +Gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) associated with Suaeda (Chenopodiaceae) in Israel and the Mediterranean Basin + + + +Author + +Dorchin, Netta + + + +Author + +Danon, Gilad + + + +Author + +Dor, Roi + +text + + +Israel Journal of Entomology + + +2019 + +Oxford, England + + +2019-08-12 + + +49 + + +2 + + +99 +134 + + + + +http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3366130 + +journal article +10.5281/zenodo.3366130 +2224-6304 +3366130 +088B3531-A07E-42B1-A26F-1372435F9E85 + + + + + + +Careopalpis latita +Dorchin + +, +n. sp. + + + + + +( +Figs 26–28 +, +30, 31, 33 +, +35, 36 +) + + +LSID: + +urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: +E77EA295-FF6E-4CF2-BD87-48D5CAE0BD41 + +. + + + + +Etymology: +The species name is from the Latin + +latita + +for +hidden +or +lurking +, with reference to the lack of any external signs of the gall midge presence in the leaves. + + + + +Description: + + +Gall and biology. +This species develops without apparent external signs in leaves or young stems of + +Suaeda aegyptiaca + +and + +S. fruticosa + +.

The +type +material of + +C. kenderlensis + +was unavailable for comparison, and that of the remaining species had not been cleared properly before having been mounted on slides or contain only males, which are not diagnostic. Even if proper material had been available to us for examination, we doubt that we would have found morphological differences among the species given the general morphological uniformity of this genus. Our molecular results ( +Fig. 48 +; details below) suggest that morphologically indistinguishable populations of + +Careopalpis + +from different host plants even in the same small country constitute distinct species, hence we assume with a high level of confidence that the Central Asian species are not conspecific with the Israeli ones. + + +Furthermore, three of the Central Asian species are found on host-plant species from very different sections within + +Suaeda + +, and all but + +C. suaediphila + +cause conspicuous leaf galls, whereas all Israeli species develop in leaves or young stems without apparent gall formation. As for + +C. suaediphila + +, its original description states that it develops without gall formation in leaves of three + +Suaeda +species + +in +Kazakhstan +(Fedotova 1992), each belongs in a different section within + +Suaeda + +. Not only do we argue that this species must differ from the + +Careopalpis +species + +in +Israel +, but we also suspect that if + +C. suaediphila + +populations from those three host plants are subjected to molecular study they may prove to represent separate species. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/D4/87/03D487FBFFB44232FE69FDAC36B1FCA0.xml b/data/03/D4/87/03D487FBFFB44232FE69FDAC36B1FCA0.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..e32ecdbd082 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/D4/87/03D487FBFFB44232FE69FDAC36B1FCA0.xml @@ -0,0 +1,390 @@ + + + +Gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) associated with Suaeda (Chenopodiaceae) in Israel and the Mediterranean Basin + + + +Author + +Dorchin, Netta + + + +Author + +Danon, Gilad + + + +Author + +Dor, Roi + +text + + +Israel Journal of Entomology + + +2019 + +Oxford, England + + +2019-08-12 + + +49 + + +2 + + +99 +134 + + + + +http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3366130 + +journal article +10.5281/zenodo.3366130 +2224-6304 +3366130 +088B3531-A07E-42B1-A26F-1372435F9E85 + + + + + + +Baldratia suaedae +Möhn, 1969 + + + + + + +( +Figs 24, 25 +) + + +Description: +Similar to + +B. arida + +except for the following. + + +Gall and biology. +This species develops in leaves of + +Suaeda vera + +without gall formation (our observations; +Fig. 24 +) or by causing a slight swelling of the leaf ( +Möhn 1969 +).

Apart from its sporadic occurrence along the coastal plain in +Israel +, this plant is locally abundant also in the central Negev Desert, in En Ovdat Nature Reserve. Interestingly, repeated sampling of that desert population on multiple occasions never yielded any gall midges, therefore it appears that + +B. suaedae + +is restricted to the Mediterranean coast. + + +Adult +( +Fig. 25 +).

For comparison with non-Israeli species see the remarks section under + +C. latita + +.

This disparate phenology is probably dictated by the phenology of the respective host plants, namely the suitable conditions for the development of + +C. latita + +in summer on + +S. aegyptiaca + +but their lack thereof for + +C. lanceocercis + +on + +S. asphaltica + +and + +S. fruticosa + +.

The best preserved of these +syntypes +, a female ( +Fig. 5 +), is designated here as +lectotype +. It is double-mounted with a pin onto a stage and is in fair condition with the apical half of the proboscis broken off and left wing torn and folded alongside anD sliGhtlY unDeRneath the specimen. It caRRies the label “Paitá” / “13•VIII•30”. It is the only specimen of the type series that is pinned. The other four are each glued on their side onto separately pinned celluloid squares. + + +An avid naturalist since childhood, Licent joined the Jesuits because he was not keen on proselytizing to “the flock”, but instead wanted to pursue his naturalist interests. After graduating with a PhD and spending two years at the British Museum (Natural History), he was posted to +China +( +Cuenot 1966 +). He was there from 1914–1939 and spent those years collecting throughout northern +China +, doing primarily archaeological work in the first 10 years, but also collecting many plants and animals during that time and subsequently. To house his collections, he built the Musée Hoang ho-Pai ho in +Tianjin +(later renamed the +Tianjin +Natural History Museum; it is now a protected heritage site). Some 20,000 of his collected specimens were housed there. Other of his specimens were deposited in museums in Europe. After returning to +France +at the start of WWII, he worked with Eugène Séguy at the MNHN where the +types +of some his collected +Diptera +are deposited.

One of the post-congress tours was a trip north of +Beijing +to the Ming Tombs and the Great Wall. When we were returning to our busses at the Great Wall, I spotted specimens of a species of + +Cephalodromia + +(probably this one) hovering over flowers of an undetermined white +Asteraceae +and then ‘dropping’ onto them to feed. Frustrated I did not have anything with which to collect, I was forced to finally leave the area to meet our busses that were returning us back to our hotel in +Beijing +. I was upset at missing out on a rare opportunity (traveling to +China +and +seeing +Mythicomyiidae +on the hoof as it were!) but eventually just chalked the event up to bad timing; however, I knew I was still fortunate to have seen specimens in +China +of a genus I had previously only known from reading +Séguy’s (1963) +paper. Sometime later I told Amnon Freidberg about my bad luck in not being able to collect the specimens and he said not to worry; that he was pretty sure he had gotten them for me when he was there two years earlier and would check. A few years later, I had forgotten my lament to Amnon, and was pleasantly surprised when a package arrived with the specimens he promised! It is a pleasure to be able to thank him by naming this new species in his honor. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/75/73/87/75738784F0140D04FEA7955F63016585.xml b/data/75/73/87/75738784F0140D04FEA7955F63016585.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..af920c618c8 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/75/73/87/75738784F0140D04FEA7955F63016585.xml @@ -0,0 +1,267 @@ + + + +The life cycle of the Afrotropical snail-killing fly Sepedon (Parasepedon) umbrosa (Diptera: Sciomyzidae), whose larvae are predators-parasitoids of the terrestrial snail Subulina octona (Mollusca: Subulinidae) + + + +Author + +Gbedjissi, Louis Ghélus +Département de Zoologie, Laboratoire d’Evolution, Biodiversité des Arthropodes et Assainissement, FAST, BP 823 Cotonou, UAC / Bénin.
