“…These publications substantially improved the knowledge of the Amazonian dipterofauna. Results from these expeditions were published after 1989 (Rafael & Rosa, 1989Albuquerque, 1991;Castellón et al, 1991;Lopes & Tibana, 1991;Rafael, 1991;Silva, 1991;de Carvalho & Couri, 1992), including data of 23 families of Diptera.…”

Roraima is a Brazilian state located in the northern portion of the Amazon basin, with few studies regarding its biodiversity. The Ecological Station of Maracá (Brazil, state of Roraima) harbors the third largest Brazilian pluvial island and is composed of a transitional landscape of savanna and Amazon rainforest components. Despite its ecological importance and strategic localization, few studies covered the dipterofauna of this locality. An updated checklist addressing 41 families of true flies (Diptera) occurring in Roraima is presented based on the literature and the specimens collected during a field expedition that occurred in 2015. This checklist brings several improvements such as new records of 165 taxa to the state of Roraima, 29 taxa to Brazil, and 259 morphotypes, mostly likely representing undescribed species.

“…Sepsidae é normalmente encontrada próxima ou sobre fezes de animais ou em vários outros materiais em decomposição (Zuska, 1980;Silva, 1991;Amaral, 1996). As larvas desenvolvem-se em muitos materiais em decomposição, sendo freqüentes em fezes bovinas e carcaças de animais vertebrados (Steyskal, 1968).…”

Multiple origins of a major novelty: moveable abdominal lobes in male sepsid flies (Diptera: epsidae), and the question of developmental constraints

Evolution and Development

Contrary to the impression given by their extreme scarcity among extant species of flies, moveable processes on the abdomen are apparently of relatively simple developmental origin, and they have evolved multiple times in males of the small family Sepsidae. They are used to stimulate the female during copulation in two groups, where they are probably independently derived. Because female cuing of reproductive decisions on particular types of stimuli will tend to favor male abilities to elaborate such stimuli, sexual selection by female choice may sometimes result in sustained selection for certain types of innovations in males. The lack of moveable appendages in most dipterans may be due not to developmental constraints, but to lack of selective advantages.
