“…(1) Genus Chrysops (Meigen, 1803) Chrysops viduatus (Fabricius, 1794). Tis is a Eurosiberian species that spreads to some Mediterranean islands [181,182] and Morocco [183]. Its larvae are detritophagous, developing mostly in swampy parts of shores, in piles of roots and mosses of black-alder marshes [184,185], river [186], and even in springs.…”

This paper presents the first results of 1-year survey of aquatic Diptera, carried out in two Moroccan High Atlas rivers, Assif Ahançal and Assif n’Aït Bouguemaz, which are registered as Ramsar sites and drain a large part of the mountainous Geopark of Mgoun. This survey, which consists in a first study of the longitudinal distribution of these insects, occurs during the period September 2019–July 2020, at high and medium altitudes (1086–2408 m). Limited to immature stages, this study permitted to collect 561 specimens of Diptera from 16 river sections, mainly using a Surber-net sampler. Among the collected material, we were able to identify 38 genera and 11 species, belonging to five families. This fauna is relatively rich in new taxa for Morocco or for the High Atlas mountains. Indeed, two Chironomidae species, Macropelopia notata (Meigen, 1818) and Psectrocladius (Allopsectrocladius) flavus (Johannsen, 1905), and one Tipulidae, Tipula (Yamatotipula) pierrei, Tonnoir, 1921, are newly recorded in Morocco, as well as five genera: three Chironomidae (Krenopelopia, Fittkau; Natarsia, Fittkau; and Psilometriocnemus, Saether), one Empididae (Chelifera, Macquart), and one Ceratopogonidae (Atrichopogon, Kieffer). Two other species, Parachironomus frequens (Johannsen) and Heterotrissocladius marcidus (Walker), and seven genera are reported as new taxa in the High Atlas. The two rivers have similar richness (21 taxa each), mainly due to Chironomidae (94%), the most abundant and diversified family. The Empididae (4.8%) are relatively under-represented in the two rivers, as well as the other families (Ceratopogonidae, Tipulidae, and Tabanidae), which do not exceed 1% of the total dipteran abundance. The vertical distribution of the taxa revealed significant influence of the altitude on community compositions and distributions. In waiting to collect adults, immature dipteran stages prove the high abundance and diversity of the benthic entomological assemblages, which give hope that a more deep study of the dipteran fauna in the two Ramsar sites will provide remarkable novelties, in both systematic and ecological domains. It is also expected that this study will permit to assess the aquatic biodiversity of these ecosystems and its sensitivity to the increasing human disturbances.

“…Широко распространены на территории Центрального Черноземья России [2]. Нападение кровососущих двукрылых в период их массового лета на животных ежегодно наносит ощутимый экономический ущерб животноводству из-за снижения мясной и молочной продуктивности [1]. Повреждение покровов хозяина-прокормителя колюще-режу-щим ротовым аппаратом очень болезненно и способствует проникновению инфекции.…”

The article provides information on species diversity of one of the major components of blood-sucking dipterans complex that is known collectively as "gnat" and can be found in five regions forming the Central Black Earth Region of Russia: Voronezh, Lipetsk, Belgorod, Kursk and Tambov Regions. The latest researches have recorded 38 species in the Voronezh Region and 32 species in the Belgorod Region. The prevailing species in the Voronezh Region are T. Glaucopis, T. bovinus (L., 1758), Chrysops relictus (Meigen, 1820), Chrysops rufi pes (Meigen), and Tabanus autumnalis autumnalis (L., 1761). In the Belgorod Region, the prevailing species are T. Glaucopis, T. bovinus L., 1758, Chrysops relictus (Meigen, 1820), Chrysops rufi pes (Meigen, 1820), and Tabanus autumnalis autumnalis (L., 1761). In the Kursk Region, there were 6 species (Т. bimaculatus Meg., Т. schineri Lyneb., Т. Bromius L., Т. cordiger Мg., Т. autumnalis L., Т. bovines L.) recorded, which are of greater importance in epizootology and epidemiology of various infectious and invasive diseases. This issue requires further detailed research in the Lipetsk and Tambov Regions.
