A Taxonomic Conspectus of the Blondeliini of North and Central America and the West Indies (Diptera: Tachinidae)
Author: D. M. WoodPublisher: Ottawal: Entomological Society of Canada
ISBN:
Category : Diptera
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
The species of the tribe blondeliini of North and Central America and the west Indies (including Trinidad) are grouped into 55 genera. Included is an illustrated key to thje genera, a diagnosis of each genus, a list of all generic synonyms, and a taxonomic catalogue of all species recorded from these regions, including their new World synonyms. Type status, type locality, and depository of primary type material is given for each nominal species. One hundred and seventy-seven new generic-level synonyms, 67 new species-level synonyms, and 321 new combinations are proposed. Didyma fuliginipennis Wulp, belonging to the tribe Eryciini, was assigned to the genus ametadoria (see under lectotype designation of didyma volucris Wulp). Three new species are described: ligeria latigena n. sp. from Yukon; Policheta crassisetosa n. sp., from Oregon; and Steleoneura novemmaculata n. sp. from Yukon, Banks Island, and Vitoria Island. Lectotypes are designated for 39 nomial species.
The Siphonini (Diptera: Tachinidae) of Europe
Author: Stig AndersenPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004273611
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
The present volume presents a detailed account of the taxonomy, biology and distribution of the European species of Siphonini. This group of tachinid Diptera totals 58 species in Europe of which 6 are here described as new to science. In most species, the immatures live as endoparasitolds of lepidopterous larvae, but a few species even attack tipulid larvae. Several species of Siphonini are of great economic interest as agents for the control of lepidopterous and tipulid pests in agriculture and forestry. An analysis and proposal on the systematic position of the Siphonini is given together with a key to larger taxonomic entities of Tachinidae. The generic classification is also critically emphasized. A separate chapter summarizes aspects of the group's natural history: life-cycles, mating behaviour, oviposition strategies, etc. The taxonomic part contains identification keys to genera and species, and for each species a diagnosis, a description and accounts on the nomenclature, biology and distribution is given. A separate catalogue details the provincial distribution of the 47 species occurring in Fennoscandia and Danmark. No less than 275 line drawings and 15 colour illustrations accompany the text.
Hawkmoths of Australia
Author: Maxwell MouldsPublisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486302831
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 724
Book Description
Hawkmoths are large charismatic insects with highly variable and colourful larvae. Some species are specialised in their habitat preferences, but others are widespread and often encountered in gardens. However, little is known about most species, and associating the adults with their larvae has previously been difficult or impossible. Hawkmoths of Australia allows identification of all of the Australian hawkmoths for the first time and treats species found on mainland Australia, Tasmania and all offshore islands within Australian limits. It presents previously undescribed life histories of nearly all species and provides a comprehensive account of hawkmoth biology, including new parasitoids and their hawkmoth hosts. Detailed drawings and photographs show the external and internal morphology of adults and immatures, and eggs, larval instars and pupa. Keys are provided for last instar larvae and pupae of the 71 species that the authors have reared. The book is concluded by a glossary, appendices to parasitoids and larval foodplants, an extensive reference list with bibliographical notes and a comprehensive index. The wealth of new information in this book makes it an essential reference for anyone interested in these moths. Hawkmoths of Australia is Volume 13 of the Monographs on Australian Lepidoptera Series.
