“…It comprises approximately 700 described species in 50 genera (Marshall 2010, 2012; Ferro and Carvalho 2014). The family is globally distributed, with the greatest species richness found in tropical regions (Steyskal 1968).…”
The results of manual dissection of the musculature of the male genitalia in Nothybus
kuznetsovorum are fully confirmed by the modern methods of Micro-CT. A comparative analysis of Neria
commutata and Cothornobata sp. shows that an increase in the flexion in the genitalia of males and the displacement of syntergosternite VII to the ventral side in Cothornobata sp. caused the disappearance of the muscles ITM6–7r and ITM7–8r. In addition, this increase in flexion apparently caused the fusion of the M18 muscles into one bundle. The muscle ISM5-6c goes on to moving the second segment of the forcipate appendages of sternite V.

“…Palabras Clave: micropezidos; Taeniaptera lasciva; vegetación de cerrado; cultivos de hortalizas orgánicas; abundancia The stilt-legged fly genus Taeniaptera Macquart is one of the most common taxa in the family Micropezidae (Diptera), and most of the species occur in the Neotropical region. Currently, 46 species are known in the world, of which 23 are reported from Brazil (Ferro & De Carvalho 2014; Catalogue of Life 2015). They are found in a variety of environments such as forest, meadows, marshes, woods, and wetlands (Albuquerque 1980a,b).…”

“…Most studies on stilt-legged flies in Brazil are focused on taxonomy and systematics (Albuquerque 1980a(Albuquerque ,b, 1981Albuquerque & Papavero 2002;Ferro & De Carvalho 2014;Harterreiten-Souza et al 2014a). The first ecological study in the region was made by Albuquerque (1991), who described the Taeniapterinae fauna present on Maracá and Pacaraima islands, in Roraima State.…”

UNAB consists of several collections that seek to represent the insects of agricultural and forestry significance from the various regions of Colombia, especially the mountainous zone. In order to contribute to knowledge on the Diptera diversity of Colombia found in agricultural ecosystems, the present study looked at the Micropezidae contained in this museum, along with the represented taxa, as well as its current curatorial status and geographic distribution in the country. Currently, the Taxonomic Central Collection houses 107 specimens from the Micropezidae family, which belong to the genera Cardiacephala, Grallipeza, Grallomyia, Mesoconius, Micropeza, Plocoscelus, Paragrallomyia, Poecilotylus, Ptilosphen, Scipopus, and Taeniaptera, representing distribution in 57 municipalities and 12 departments (provinces) of the Colombian Andean region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
