“…De Jong et al (2008) argue that all Tipuloidea species/ subspecies are restricted to determined biogeographic regions, with only a few sharing neighboring regions. Most mtDNA COI sequences found in this work were highly similar to those from Argentina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Nicaragua (Neotropical region), and different from those from regions such as Canada and U.S.A. (Nearctic region), which corroborates a relatively limited range distribution of these crane fly species, and reinforces the endemic characteristic of this group in the Neotropics.…”

“…It is subdivided into Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae, and Tipulidae sensu stricto. Approximately 3,500 crane fly species are recognized throughout the Neotropical region, of which around 99.6% are in the families Limoniidae and Tipulidae (De Jong et al, 2008;Oosterbroek, 2018). Crane flies are non-hematophagous flies that are extremely important in the trophic webs they participate in, generally exhibiting a detritivorous diet during their larval phase.…”

Crane flies are the most diverse group within Diptera, but they are rarely studied in coastal ecosystems. Considering the scarcity of information on the biology and ecology of this group in the Neotropics, and the sparse literature available for taxonomic identification, we developed a descriptive checklist that incorporates morphology and DNA barcoding. We also created a generic identification key for crane flies of southern Brazilian salt marshes. We sampled crane flies continuously at three areas along the Patos Lagoon salt marshes over one year. A total of 14 genera/subgenera, 6 species, and 12 morphotypes belonging to Limoniidae and Tipulidae were identified. Distribution ranges of Symplecta cana (Walker, 1848) and two Ormosia Rondani, 1856 species were expanded. mtDNA COI sequences were compared to the BOLD and NCBI databases, but were matched only at the family level. Therefore, we provided sequences to both platforms, updated to the genus level. We found low (0.00-0.03) intraspecific and high (0.11-0.25) interspecific molecular differences indicating that the mtDNA COI region is adequate for distinguishing species within the Tipuloidea. The Dicranomyia Stephens, 1829 species complex showed low genetic difference, indicating that they could be one species with high morphological plasticity. This study will serve as a basis for future research on insects of Neotropical salt marshes.

“…The Tipulidae, commonly referred to as “crane flies,” represent one of the largest families of dipterans. There are estimated to be >15,000 species distributed worldwide, yet only two species are known to cause damage to horticultural crops (de Jong et al, 2008). The European crane fly, Tipula paludosa Meigen, and Tipula oleracea L. are native to northwestern and central‐southern Europe, respectively (Young et al, 1999).…”

This is the first report of Tipula oleracea L. (the common crane fly, also marsh crane fly) in Utah. Tipulid larvae were collected from a putting green in Tooele County in fall 2012. Pupal exuvia and adult crane flies were seen flying on golf courses in Salt Lake, Davis, and Utah counties in 2013, but adults were not captured or identified as the exotic species until fall 2014. The detection of T. oleracea in Utah is somewhat surprising, given the species’ association with moist environments. A statewide survey is needed to better understand the spread and potential impact of T. oleracea on the turfgrass industry in Utah and the surrounding Intermountain West region.

Knowledge on the evolution of the New Zealand insect fauna is reviewed and outstanding questions are highlighted. The New Zealand insect fauna is a composite of old and recent lineages and many spectacular examples of evolutionary processes are evident, including species radiations, hybridisation and unusual adaptations. We discuss the origins and evolution of four prominent communities within the insect fauna: terrestrial lowland insects, alpine insects, aquatic insects and insect communities from offshore islands. Within each of these communities, significant lineages are discussed, and in particular the crucial adaptations that enable these lineages to thrive and diversify. Glacial history has had a dramatic impact on the New Zealand insects, and the effects on different lineages are discussed. The New Zealand insects are unique, yet many are threatened with extinction, and efforts to preserve the fauna are reviewed. Despite the accumulating knowledge, major gaps still exist and these are outlined, as are opportunities to address key questions. The review concludes with a synthesis and a discussion of how systematics, new technologies and integrative approaches have the promise to improve dramatically our understanding of New Zealand insect evolution.
