“…Little is known about Stratiomyidae larval biology in the Neotropical region. The larval stages of soldier flies have been extensively studied over the last decade in Brazil, but the studies focused mainly on larval and pupal morphology [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

The genusMerosargus(Loew) has 142 described species. This great diversity in the genus could be explained by larvae resource-use specialization. However, information on larval habitats is still very scarce. InMerosargusspecies, adult males defend oviposition sites, and this territorial behavior may lead to interspecific competition and make even more important the specialization and niche partitioning to prevent competitive exclusion. This study identified substrate types used as a resource byMerosarguslarvae and investigated the degree of specialization and overlap in resource use by different species at an Atlantic forest remnant in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Every potential resource, especially those with adults in the vicinity, was collected opportunistically from October 2001 to October 2004. In total, 292 individuals from 12Merosargusspecies collected from 21 resource types and 15 plant species were reared in the laboratory. Plant species included herbs, vines, palms, and trees. SixMerosargusspecies were reared from only one resource type, and each resource type was used, on average, by less than twoMerosargusspecies. Thus,Merosargusspecies exhibited a high degree of specialization and small overlap in larval resource selection, which could explain the high local and global diversity of the genus.

The puparia of Merosargus cingulatus Schiner, 1868 and Ptecticus lanei James, 1941, two Neotropical species of Sarginae (Stratiomyidae), are described and illustrated based on 19 and 17 immatures of each species, respectively. The specimens were collected in rotting vegetal material in Carambeí, state of Paraná, Brazil. Images of reared adults of both species are provided, allowing future identifications of specimens. New distributional records include the first occurrences of M. cingulatus in the Brazilian states of Ceará, Maranhão, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Rio de Janeiro. With these two new descriptions, immature stages (6th instar and/or puparium) of 29 species of Sarginae are now known, with only eight species known from the Neotropical Region.

ABSTRACT. Checklist of species of Pantophthalmidae and Stratiomyidae (Diptera, Stratiomyioidea) of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. In this paper we provided a checklist of the Pantophthalmidae and Stratiomyidae species registered in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Only one species of Pantophthamildae is recorded for the state. Stratiomyidae is represented by 12 species in nine genera: Acrochaeta Wiedemann (1), Artemita Walker (1), Neochauna Williston (1), Chrysochlorina James (3), Cyphomyia Wiedemann (1), Hermetia Latreille (2), Ptecticus Loew (1), Sargus Fabricius (1), and Hoplitimyia James (1).KEYWORDS. Central-Western region, distribution, diversity, taxonomy, Biota-MS Program.RESUMO. Nesse artigo é fornecida uma lista de espécies de Pantophthalmidae e Stratiomyidae registradas no estado Mato Grosso do Sul. Apenas uma espécie de Pantophthalmidae possui registro para o estado. Stratiomyidae é representada por 12 espécies distribuídas em nove gêneros: Acrochaeta
