S. KRČMAR, M. KUČINIĆ, P. DURBEŠIĆ i A. BENOVIĆ: Kukci sa sredine Jadranskog mora. Entomol. Croat. 2010., Vol. 14., Num. 3-4: 75-84. Uzorkovanje kukaca (Insecta) tijekom 2009. godine na sredini Jadranskog mora obavljeno je tijekom mrkle noći, čije je rezultat zabilješka 12 vrsta iz reda dvokrilaca (Diptera) i dvije vrste leptira iz reda (Lepidoptera). Utvrđene vrste svrstane su u sljedeće porod...

Species composition, seasonality and distribution of immature fly populations on a southern Queensland feedlot during 2001-2003 were determined. Similar data were collected on feedlots in central New South Wales and central Queensland. The fly species recovered in the highest numbers were Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), Stomoxys calcitrans L. (Diptera: Muscidae) and Physiphora clausa Ma...

Four new species of Mydaeinae, Mydaea franzosternita n sp., Myospila apicaliciliola n sp., Myospila maoershanensis n sp., and Myospila subflavipennis n sp., are described and illustrated here for the first time. A key to the genus of Mydaeinae from China and keys to species of genera from Mydaeinae are provided.

The patterns of diversity and abundance of the carrion insect species in the different habitats of the Natural Park "Hoces del Río Riaza" (central Spain) were studied with the use of carrion-baited traps. Representativeness of the inventories was assessed with the calculation of randomized species richness curves and nonparametric estimators. Coleoptera families, Silphidae and Dermestidae, and ...

The purpose of this study was to conduct a survey for the susceptibility of the horn fly, Hematobia irritans (L.), populations to permethrin on dairy cattle from Aguascalientes, Mexico. Samples of populations of horn flies at 25 dairies were exposed to two discriminating doses (2.5 and 6.0 microg/cm2) on permethrin-treated filter papers and the percentage of mortality was compared with that of ...

The first complete overview of the African fauna Lispe is published. paper consists 3 parts. (1) alphabetical list 55 taxa given with references, distribution data and, where necessary, taxonomic remarks or descriptions. (2) Addendum 26 which are not included in main (as synonymies for other reasons). (3) Identification key Africa. illustrated 47 figures. Six new described: alkaline sp. nov.; a...

The isothermal deterministic model adherence was studied to evaluate the population dynamic of Synthesiomyia nudiseta (Diptera, Muscidae). The linear form of equation obtained for the experiments in the several phases, were for Egg: 1/D = -0.18 + 0.02. T; Larva: 1/D = -0.028 + 0.01. T; Pupa: 1/D = -0.069 + 0.01. T; and Adult: 1/D = -0.4178 + 0.02. T. In function of temperature, S. nudiseta can ...

The black carrion fly Hydrotaea rostrata Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Muscidae) is a muscid, which occurs on approximately one-third of decomposing human corpses involved in homicide cases in south-western Australia. Work to date on its development rates is scant with only one published source available. The current study measured the precise developmental rates of this species using high repeti...

Horn flies could not be maintained below 50 per animal with sprays or dusts during a 21-wk study. However, weights of cows and calves and condition scores of cows were not influenced by suppression of Haematobia irritans (L.) populations. Results show that cattle in northwest Florida can tolerate average populations of greater than or equal to 200 flies for 70 d with no adverse economic effects...

Neodexiopsis Malloch (Diptera, Muscidae) is a member of the subfamily Coenosiinae, with more than hundred species recorded in Neotropical region. In Ecuador, it known by four species, which may be an underestimated number. We describe five new based on recently collected material: bicoloratta N. longialata nigrocalyptrata plana and secunda species. A key to segregating all from Ecuador presente...
