Revisão das espécies de Stylogaster Macquart do grupo stylata com descrição de uma espécie nova do Brasil (Diptera, Conopidae, Stylogasterinae)

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Revision of the Brazilian species of Stylogaster Macquart from stylata group, with description of a new species from Brazil (Diptera, Conopidae, Stylogasterinae). The Brazilian species of Stylogaster Macquart, 1835 from the stylata group are studied and redescribed in detail: Stylogaster brasilia Camras & Parrillo, 1985, S. dispar Camras & Parrillo, 1985, S. longispina Camras & Parrillo, 1985, S. rafaeli Camras & Parrillo, 1996, S. souzai Monteiro, 1960, and S. stylata (Fabricius, 1805. A new species from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro -S. fluminensis sp. nov., is described and compared with S. stylosa Townsend, 1897, which is also redescribed based on type material. Diagnosis, keys for identification, geographic distributions and illustrations are also provided.

The first <i>Stylogaster</i> Macquart, 1835 (Diptera: Conopidae) fossil, from Oligo-Miocene Dominican amber, and some phylogenetic and biogeographic considerations

“…Stylogaster Macquart, 1835 is a peculiar genus of Conopidae, with 118 valid species described so far, distributed amongst all biogeographic regions except for the Palaearctic (Papavero, 1971;Camras and Parrillo, 1985;Smith and Peterson, 1987;Yang, 1995;Camras and Parrillo, 1996;Stuke, 2006;Rocha and Mello-Patiu, 2009;Schneider, 2010;Rocha and Mello-Patiu, 2012;Stuke, 2012;Pape andThompson, 2013, Burt et al, 2014). The genus (thus the subfamily) can be diagnosed by the following characters: a pronounced facial keel, elongated prementum and labella, medial ommatidia larger than all other conopid genera, females with an elongated tube-like terminalia, formed by the segments VI, VII and VIII and dart-like eggs with a hard and scaled chorion and barb-shaped spines (Kotrba, 1997).…”

Seleção de cavidades para nidificação, tamanho da progênie por ninho, razão sexual e mortalidade de imaturos e adultos de Centris (Heterocentris) analis (Fabricius, 1804) (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Centridini)

“…Compositae, Labiatae e Umbelliferae; a larva, por outro lado, é endoparasita obrigatória de outros insetos (Smith & Peterson, 1987). A maioria das espécies de conopideos utiliza abelhas como hospedeiros, mas aquelas do gênero Sylogaster preferem depositar seus ovos em insetos das ordens Orthoptera, Blattaria e Diptera caliptrados (Freeman, 1966;Rocha & Mello-Patiu, 2009).…”
