چکیده
Adult, pupal and larval stages of the western Nearctic axymyiid, Protaxymyia thuja Fitzgerald and Wood n. sp., are described. The generic placement of this taxon is discussed in the context of the world axymyiid fauna and a key to differentiate all known life stages of Nearctic axymyiids is provided.

Rediscovered at last: a new enigmatic genus of Axymyiidae (Diptera) from western North America.
An unusual and undescribed genus and species of Axymyiidae known from a single specimen collected more than 50 years ago in Alaska is rediscovered in Mt. Rainier National Park (USA: WA). Based on two female specimens, Plesioaxymyia vespertina gen. nov., sp. nov. is described. A preliminary phylogenetic tree of the Axymyiidae is presented, showing Plesioaxymyia as sister group to all remaining a...
متن کاملThe Megophthalmidia (Diptera, Mycetophilidae) of North America including eight new species
Megophthalmidia Dziedzicki is a small leiine genus (Mycetophilidae) with seven species described from the Neotropics and ten species from the Palearctic region. Two species of Megophthalmidia have been reported for North America. Recent collecting of Mycetophilidae in California and Arizona, however, shows current North American diversity of Megophthalmidia is at least on par to other regions o...
متن کاملThe flat - footed fly genus Seri Kessel & Kessel ( Diptera : Platypezidae )
Systematic information on the rarely collected Holarctic platypezid genus Seri Kessel & Kessel is reviewed. Two species are included, S. obscuripennis (Oldenberg) from the Palaearctic Region and S. dymka (Kessel) from the Nearctic Region. The two species are diagnosed and the male of S. dymka is described for the first time. New records of S. dymka, previously recorded only from western North A...
متن کاملA New Fishfly Species (Megaloptera: Corydalidae: Neohermes Banks) Discovered from North America by a Systematic Revision, with Phylogenetic and Biogeographic Implications
The taxonomy of Megaloptera from the Nearctic region is fairly well known and their faunal diversity has been largely surveyed, even in relatively remote regions. However, the evolutionary history of Nearctic Megaloptera is still poorly known with phylogenetic and biogeographic studies lacking. In this paper, we report a new fishfly species of the endemic North American genus Neohermes Banks, 1...
متن کاملAssembly of a Phragmites-associated Chloropidae (Diptera) fauna in North America: the Palearctic genus Cryptonevra Lioy in the Nearctic, and the genus Lipara Meigen in Canada.
A diverse Diptera assemblage, dominated by the family Chloropidae, is associated with common reed (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel, Poaceae) in the Palearctic region (Tewksbury et al. 2002). Although P. australis has long been present in North America, many of its associated Chloropidae have remained restricted to the Palearctic. The best-known chloropid associates of Phragmites ar...
