Insect (Hexapoda) Diversity in the Oceanic Archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil: Scenopinidae (Diptera)

Abstract

This paper covers the first record of window flies, Scenopinidae (Diptera), in the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil: Scenopinus schulzi Enderlein, which is briefly characterized. This species was recorded in low numbers: three males and 13 female specimens. The occurrence of scenopinids in Fernando de Noronha is regarded as an extension of the Brazilian mainland continental fauna. The colonization of the archipelago is discussed.

El género Heteromphrale Kröber, 1937 (Diptera; Scenopinidae) en Perú, con la descripción de una especie nueva

“…In the Neotropical region, seven genera are found containing only 24 species: Brevitrichia, Irwiniana, Jackhallia Nagatomi & Liu, 1994, Pseudatrichia, Heteromphrale, Metatrichia Coquillett, 1900 and Scenopinus Latreille, 1802 (Winterton & Gaimari 2017, Rafael et al 2022. Many more species are expected to be discovered in this region as many countries remain poorly sampled for most dipteran groups, like Peru where only one species is known to occur, Scenopinus magnicornis (Kröber, 1913) (Kelsey 1969, 1973, Amorim 2009.…”
