“…To end this limited and brief historical overview of Dexiinae at the Neotropics, it is noteworthy that in recent times some Brazilian scientists working from South American institutions have been revising Neotropical dexiines and enhancing their knowledge, e.g., Nihei & Pansonato, 2006;Santis & Nihei, 2016;Santis, 2018;Dios & Santis, 2019;Santis, 2021;Alvarez-Garcia & Santis, 2021. Moreover, some dozens of new species -allied with some synonymies -based on morphology and COI sequences from the Area de Conservación Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica is being published in an effort to name and catalog all of the tachinid species reared by Dan Janzen's team from this region by the Canadians Alan J. Fleming and D. Montgomery Wood in various works (e.g., Fleming et al, 2015Fleming et al, , 2017Fleming et al, , 2020.…”

The knowledge of Dexiinae and Tachinidae diversity in the Neotropical Region, in contrast to other regions, e.g., the Palaearctic Region, is in a poor condition. The history of these taxa has gradually increased since the 18th Century from the works of European and North American authors such as Johan C. Fabricius, Christian R.W. Wiedemann, Jean B. Robineau-Desvoidy, Pierre J.-M. Macquart, Jacques M.F. Bigot, Francis Walker, Victor von Röeder, Ermanno Giglio-Tos, Friedrich M. Brauer and Julius E. Bergenstamm, Frederik M. van der Wulp, Charles H. Curran, John M. Aldrich, Charles H.T. Townsend, Henry J. Reinhard and William R. Thompson. It was only in the first half of the 20th Century that scientists born or established in South America began to enter tachinidology. Dipterists like Jean Brèthes and Everardo E. Blanchard from Argentina, Rául E. Cortés Peña from Chile and José H. Guimarães from Brazil, are the most memorable names for, not only to Neotropical Dexiinae, but, indeed for the whole family. Herein, a brief chronological review of tachinidology, with emphasis on Dexiinae and based on a literature review, is given. The history is divided into four periods: the pre-Linnaean period of the 16th and 17th Centuries, the 18th Century, the 19th Century and the first half of the 20th Century. After the first half of 20th Century, the emphasis is focused on European and North American dipterists with an overview of their contributions on Dexiinae taxonomy. Later, with presence of the South American dipterists, the emphasis is directed to them. Then a few notes are given on the Czech Dominik Bilimek, a poorly known collector from the 19th Century and Fritz Plaumann, a well-known German immigrant who collected in Brazil during the earlier 20th Century. Finally, some notes and perspectives about the 21st Century dexiinidology from the Neotropics is briefly discussed.

“…He usually provided information about morphology, distribution, taxonomy, collector(s) and any host records available for a particular species (e.g.,Cortés 1986). More recently, this trend was followed, and from the last, approximately 20 years, witnessed new taxonomic papers that increased the knowledge of the Neotropical Dexiini: the revision of Prophorostoma Townsend, 1927(Nihei & Pansonato 2006), with the description of a new species P. tomjobimi Nihei, 2006; revision of the genus Sturmiodexia Townsend, 1919, with Platyrrhinodexia Townsend, 1927 as a new synonymy (Santis 2022) and the revision of the genus Eudexia Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889 (Santis 2021b), with Chaetocalirrhoe Townsend, 1935 and Cordillerodexia Townsend, 1927 as new synonymies. With these revisions, a new Dexiini was described, Eudexia lopesi Santis, 2021.The new scenario emerging is that when these vast over-split genera of Neotropical Dexiini is becoming better known, with the result of new generic synonymies, new species and genera are being discovered at the same time.…”

Dolichozelia gen. nov. and its type species Dolichozelia caete gen. et sp. nov. from the subfamily Dexiinae are described from São Paulo (Brazil). The description of Neozelia alini Guimarães, 1975 was the last description of a new genus of Neotropical Dexiini; and after almost 50 years, the description of Dolichozelia gen. nov. constitutes the first new genus of Dexiini from the Neotropical region since Guimarães’ contribution. Prior to this study, 64 genera of Dexiini were known from the Neotropics, the larger tribe of Dexiinae. Herein, a diagnostic key for the Zelia group of genera is given, with the inclusion of Dolichozelia gen. nov. In addition, a brief systematic discussion on dexiines is given in order to further discuss the systematic position of Dolichozelia gen. nov. in the tribe Dexiini. The new genus can be easily distinguished from the other genera in the tribe, mainly by the following combination of characters: legs very elongate, about 3× the length of the abdomen; abdomen about 3× the length of the thorax; syntergite 1 + 2 with a pair of marginal median setae and tergite 3 with two to three equal sized pairs of discal setae; tergite 5 elongate, ending in conical structure. Finally, a description and illustration of the male terminalia is provided for the new genus and species.

Resumo.No presente trabalho é apresentada uma lista de 1328 espécies de insetos observadas no oeste do Estado de Santa Catarina nas últimas oito décadas, sendo que esta riqueza de espécies equivale a 1,47% do total de espécies registradas no Brasil. Foram compilados, em diversas coleções, os registros de exemplares coletados por F. Plaumann, foi consultada a literatura, e, além disso, foram feitas observações pessoais. Das 17 ordens registradas, Hymenoptera foi a que apresentou a maior riqueza de espécies, com 382, sendo que, a família Formicidae representou 48,42% das espécies desta ordem e Apidae 19%. Em Coleoptera foram registradas 230 espécies, com Curculionidae representando 22,60% desse total e Coccinelidae 19,13%. Na ordem Lepidoptera foram 199 espécies, a família Nymphalidae representou 37,18% dessa riqueza e Saturniidae 22,11%. total registrado para o Brasil, mas, trata-se de uma etapa importante para ampliar os conhecimentos sobre a distribuição geográfica destas espécies.Palavras-chave: Distribuição geográfica; Insecta; Lista de espécies; Riqueza. Entomofauna from West of Santa Catarina State, South of BrazilAbstract. In this study is presented a list of 1328 insect species observed in west of Santa Catarina State, Brazil, in the last eight decades. The species richness founds corresponds 1.47 % of the total of species registered in Brazil. The data set was compiled from collection records performed by F. Plaumann, in addition to the records from literature and personal observations. Here, we recorded a total of 17 orders of insects. The order Hymenoptera had greatest richness with 382 species. Within Hymenoptera, the family Formicidae represented 48.42% and Apidae, 19%. In order Coleoptera, we found 230 species, with Curculionidae representing 22.60% of this total and Coccinelidae 19.13%. On the order Lepidoptera we recorded 199 species, the Nymphalidae family represented 37.18% of this richness and Saturniidae, 22.11%. The species richness presented here is minimal when compared to the total recorded for Brazil, but it is an important step to improve the knowledge about the geographic distribution of these insects.
