Revisão do gênero Neotropical Myiotabanus Lutz (Diptera, Tabanidae) com descrição de uma espécie nova

Abstract

O gênero Myiotabanus Lutz, 1928 é revisado. M. barrettoi Fairchild, 1969 e M. muscoideus (Hine, 1907) são redescritas de lectótipos (presente designação) e M. sarcophagoides Lutz, 1928 é redescrita do holótipo. M. amazonicus sp. nov. é descrita da bacia amazônica e do pantanal, Brasil, a partir da exuvia pupal e de quatro fêmeas adultas.

Diversity and population dynamic of Tabanidae (Diptera) in the cerrado-pantanal ecotone

“…The number of tabanid species increased from 25 (BARROS; GORAYEB, 1996) to 34 species for the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Three unknown species obtained from collections carried out in this study were described: Myiotabanus amazonicus Rafael & Ferreira, 2004 (RAFAEL;FERREIRA, 2004); Pityocera barrosi Gorayeb & Krolow, 2015; and Pityocera rhinolissa Krolow & Henriques, 2015(KROLOW et al, 2015.…”

Newly discovered males and new records of the uncommon Neotropical genera Eutabanus Kröber and Myiotabanus Lutz (Diptera: Tabanidae)

“…There are four known species: M. amazonicus Rafael & Ferreira, 2004, M. barrettoi Fairchild, 1969, M. muscoideus (Hine, 1907), and M. sarcophagoides Lutz, 1928 The male of M. barrettoi was described by Coscarón (1975), the male of M. sarcophagoides remains unknown, and the males of M. amazonicus and M. muscoideus are described here. The pupae of M. amazonicus and larvae and pupae of M. barrettoi respectively have been described by Rafael & Ferreira (2004) and Coscarón et al (1996). The greenish larvae of M. amazonicus were found in open water along the roots of water lettuce Pistia stratiotes L. (Araceae) in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil (Rafael & Ferreira, 2004).…”

“…Myiotabanus, most recently revised by Rafael and Ferreira (2004), was proposed by Lutz (Lutz & Nunez-Tovar 1928, reprinted in 1955 for M. sarcophagoides. There are four known species: M. amazonicus Rafael & Ferreira, 2004, M. barrettoi Fairchild, 1969, M. muscoideus (Hine, 1907), and M. sarcophagoides Lutz, 1928 The male of M. barrettoi was described by Coscarón (1975), the male of M. sarcophagoides remains unknown, and the males of M. amazonicus and M. muscoideus are described here. The pupae of M. amazonicus and larvae and pupae of M. barrettoi respectively have been described by Rafael & Ferreira (2004) and Coscarón et al (1996).…”

“…The pupae of M. amazonicus and larvae and pupae of M. barrettoi respectively have been described by Rafael & Ferreira (2004) and Coscarón et al (1996). The greenish larvae of M. amazonicus were found in open water along the roots of water lettuce Pistia stratiotes L. (Araceae) in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil (Rafael & Ferreira, 2004). The larval food source and origin of the unusual coloration are unclear (Rafael & Ferreira 2004). Though widespread from Mexico to Argentina, specimens of the genera Eutabanus and Myiotabanus are rarely collected and poorly represented in entomological collections.…”

Though widespread from Mexico to Argentina, specimens of the genera Eutabanus and Myiotabanus are rarely collected and poorly represented in entomological collections. Both genera are placed in Diachlorini and appear to mimic sarcophagid or other calyptrate flies in color and shape.…”
