The genus Lipara Meigen, 1830 (Diptera: Chloropidae) is known for its ability to induce galls in Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud., 1841 (Poaceae). Such galls are important microhabitats that give a resource to other Chloropid species that live in them. In the Iberian Peninsula, the Lipara galls and their associated fauna remain unstudied. Here, new records of Lipara lucens Meigen, 1830, L. similis Schiner, 1854 and their gall inquilines, Calamoncosis minima (Strobl, 1893) and Cryptonevra flavitarsis (Meigen, 1830) in the Iberian Peninsula are presented, combining both, field sampling and photosharing website information. Lipara lucens, C. minima and Cr. flavitarsis are recorded for the first time from the Spanish mainland. Although they are an overlooked group of species, they seem to be widespread in the Iberian Peninsula.Key words: Calamoncosis minima; photosharing; Chloropidae; Cryptonevra flavitarsis; Diptera; gall-inquilines; Iberian Peninsula; Lipara; new records. RESUMENNuevos datos sobre la distribución de Lipara Meigen, 1830 (Diptera: Chloropidae) y sus clorópi-dos inquilinos en la península ibérica El género Lipara Meigen, 1830 (Diptera: Chloropidae) tiene la capacidad de inducir agallas en Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud., 1841 (Poaceae). Dichas agallas son microhábitats importantes que aportan recursos a otros clorópidos que viven dentro de ellas. En la península ibérica, las agallas de Lipara y la fauna asociada no han sido bien estudiadas. En este trabajo se recogen nuevas citas de Lipara lucens Meigen, 1830, L. similis Schiner, 1854 y sus inquilinos, Calamoncosis minima (Strobl, 1893) y Cryptonevra flavitarsis (Meigen, 1830) en la península ibérica, combinando muestreos en campo, con información disponible en portales fotográficos. Se citan por primera vez en la España peninsular L. lucens, C. minima y Cr. flavitarsis. A pesar de que son un grupo que ha sido poco estudiado, estas especies parecen estar ampliamente distribuidas por la península ibérica.

“…Interference between initiatives. The internet abounds in platforms of biodiversity informatics alone, and there is overwhelming environmental information to digest anyway (Carling and Harrison 1996). New project-based facilities emerge on the internet frequently, but a collaboration culture supporting open access to information is underdeveloped.…”

Open access to information bridges science and development in Amazonia: lessons of the SIAMAZONIA service

Access to and availability of accurate information has often been stated to play an important role in sustainable environmental management. There is a growing trend of setting up internet-based information services to support the availability of relevant information. The current initiatives that aim to facilitate such information sharing through the web are still, however, often premature and unable to ensure constant flow of data from producers to users. We examine these common challenges by using as an example a network-based facility of biodiversity and environmental information about the Peruvian Amazon region called SIAMAZONIA. Launched in 2001, the service includes data provided by 13 different nodes. The experiences of this initiative have been both encouraging and confusing. A good professional level has been reached, but participation by large information holders is impeded. Participation is obviously considered an additional task rather than an attractive option for enhanced performance at the individual or institutional levels. This dilemma reflects a genuine problem in the modern scientific community, which still lacks agreed ways to reward those who share their data and results through the web. If these problems are solved, internet-based information sharing may become a vital resource for environmental management in Amazonia and also elsewhere.

“…La calidad de las imágenes que captan ha aumentado considerablemente en los últimos tiempos, debido a la mejora de los medios técnicos de que se dispone. Al mismo tiempo, Internet ha contribuido a difundir este tipo de actividades y sobre todo a facilitar que exista un punto de encuentro entre aficionados a la fotografía y especialistas taxónomos, sean aficionados o profesionales (Carling & Harrison, 1996;Esteban et al, 1997).…”
