Revision of the Neotropical Neurigoninae (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)

and Systenoides gen. nov., with the definition of a new tribe Dactylomyiini.
- [Revision der neotropischen Neurigoninae (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) II:
Argentinia Parent, Dactylomyia Aldrich, Macrodactylomyia gen. nov. und
Systenoides gen. nov. mit der Definition einer neuen Tribus Dactylomyiini.]
Abstract: The Neotropical species of the new tribe Dactylomyiini comprising the genera Argentinia Parent, Dactylomyia Aldrich, Macrodactylomyia gen. nov., and Systenoides gen. nov (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) are revised. Diagnoses and keys to genera and species are given. The species Argentinia bickeli spec. nov., Dactylomyia mexicana spec. nov., Macrodactylomyia magnicauda spec. nov., and Systenoides paraguayensis spec. nov. are described as new. The following species are transferred to the genus Dactylomyia: Neurigona bicolor Van Duzee, Neurigona coruscans Parent, and Neurigona decora Aldrich. Coelinium unicolor Parent is transferred to Argentinia. Dactylomyia parenti nom. nov. is proposed as a new name for Dactylomyia bicolor (Parent). Neotypes are designated for Dactylomyia decora (Aldrich) and Dactylomyia lateralis (Say). The genus Notobothrus Parent is transferred to the subfamily Peloropeodinae. A phylogenetic analysis of the included genera is presented. The new tribe Dactylomyiini forms a monophyletic group. The genera Dactylomyia, Macrodactylomyia, and Systenoides are closely related, whereas Argentinia forms the more ancestral clade within the tribe.

Zusammenfassung: Die neotropischen Arten der neuen Tribus Dactylomyiini, welche die Gattungen Argentinia Parent, Dactylomyia Aldrich, Macrodactylomyia gen. nov. und Systenoides gen. nov (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) umfasst, werden revidiert. Diagnosen und Schlüssel für die Gattungen und Arten werden gegeben. Die Arten Argentinia bickeli spec. nov., Dactylomyia mexicana spec. nov., Macrodactylomyia magnicauda spec. nov. und Systenoides paraguayensis spec. nov werden neu beschrieben. Die folgenden Arten werden zur Gattung Dactylomyia gestellt: Neurigona bicolor Van Duzee, Neurigona coruscans Parent und Neurigona decora Aldrich. Coelinium unicolor Parent wird zur Gattung Argentinia transferiert. Dactylomyia parenti nom. nov. wird als neuer Name für Dactylomyia bicolor (Parent) vorgeschlagen. Neotypen für Dactylomyia decora (Aldrich) und Dactylomyia lateralis (Say) werden festgelegt. Die Gattung Notobothrus Parent wird in die Unterfamilie Peloropeodinae gestellt. Eine phylogenetische Analyse der behandelten Gattungen wird vorgestellt. Die neue Tribus Dactylomyiini bildet eine monophyletische Gruppe. Die Gattungen Dactylomyia, Macrodactylomyia und Systenoides sind näher verwandt, während Argentinia die ursprünglichere Gruppe innerhalb der Tribus darstellt.

from the Swiss Alps (Diptera).]
Abstract:
From the alpine region of the ‘Jungfraugebiet’, at an altitude between 1000 and 2300 m, a total of 14 species of the family Dolichopodidae are found, of which 4 species are new for Switzerland and 2 uncertain species are confirmed. The exact data of the place where they were found, the habitats and some species specific data are described.

Dolichopodidae (Diptera) from Papua New Guinea XVI. Scotiomyia gen.
nov. a new Sympycnine genus from the rain forest with notes on the Papuan
Sympycninae. - [Dolichopodidae (Diptera) aus Papua Neuguinea. XVI. Scotiomyia
gen. nov., eine neue Gattung der Sympycninae aus dem Regenwald nebst Anmerkungen
zu den Sympycninae der Region.]
Abstract:
Scotiomyia gen. nov. is described from the rain forest on the northern coast of Papua New Guinea with Scotiomyia fusca spec. nov. as type species. A second sympatric species, Scotiomyia melanura spec. nov. is also described. The genus Sympycnus s.l. has been subjected to a provisional partial revision. The South East Asiatic species with first tarsal segment of hind leg shortened are assigned to Chaetogonopteron de Meijere, 1914. Pycsymnus Frey, 1925 and Hoplignusus Vaillant, 1953 are placed in synonymy with Chaetogonopteron. Phrudoneura Meuffels & Grootaert, 1987 which was originally described as a subgenus of Sympycnus, is raised to genus rank. An annotated list of all the Sympycninae known from Papua New Guinea is given.

A remarkable new sympycnine genus Hercostomoides from South Asia, with
remarks on the genus Telmaturgus (Diptera, Dolichopodidae). - [Hercostomoides
gen. nov. - eine bemerkenswerte Gattung der Sympycninae aus Südasien
nebst Bemerkungen zur Gattung Telmaturgus (Diptera, Dolichopodidae).]
Abstract:
The genus Hercostomoides gen. nov. is described with H. indonesianus (Hollis, 1964), originally assigned to the genus Telmaturgus Mik, 1874, as type species. The male sex is reported for the first time and differs from the females by possessing a very large third antennal segment, a narrow face, and by the bristling of the fore tarsi. The female has a broad face with a protruding clypeus. A re-description of the species is given, based on numerous material from Thailand, Vietnam, Borneo and the Philippines.

Haplopharynx, a new genus incertae sedis from rain forest in Thailand
(Diptera, Dolichopodidae). - [Haplopharynx, eine neue Gattung incertae
sedis aus den Regenwäldern Thailands (Diptera, Dolichopodidae).]
Abstract:
Haplopharynx gen. nov. is described with H. mutilus spec. nov. as type species. A second species, H. phangngensis spec. nov. is also described. The Morphology of proboscis and, in addition, the shape and structure of male terminalia do not allow the genus to be assigned with certainty within one of the known subfamilies of Dolichopodidae. On the other hand it seems clear that Haplopharynx gen. nov. is near the Peloropeodinae, the Diaphorinae or the Sympycninae.

Empidoidea (Diptera: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae, Microphoridae)
aus Emergenzfängen von zwei Seeausflüssen (Oberer und Unterer
Schierenseebach) in Norddeutschland (Holsteinische Jungmoräne). -
[Empidoidea (Diptera: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae, Microphoridae)
collected by means of emergence traps from two Lowland lake outlets (Lower
and Upper Schierenseerook) in North Germany.]
Abstract:
During examination of the insects collected by means of emergence traps situated at Upper and Lower Schierensee-brook, a total of 111 species of Empidoidea out of 2 365 specimens could be confirmed. Aquatic species (4) represented 4 % of all specimens. A significant dominance of silvicolous (55) and ripicolous (21) species was evident. These species represented 68 % of all species or 75 % of all specimens. The highest number of species (58) and the maximum average number of specimens (765/1 m² emergence trap) was found at the woodland station USB-4. The structure of dominance was represented by 14 species of Empidoidea. All species with at least 30 specimens represented together about 75 % of all specimens caught. Nine species showed their maximum of dominance at station USB-4 (woodland). The main flight time of Empidoidea at Lower Schierenseebrook (USB 1-4) lasted from May to August, showing a maximum number of 30-47 species in June. Concerning the structure of community of the Empidoidae, evaluated by an correspondence analysis (CA), significant diffences were evident between the emergence trap sites along the Lower Schierenseebrook (USB 1-4). The forest station USB-4, characterised by a huge tree canopy, was clearly different in comparision with the meadow stations USB 1-3 with an alder fringe, planted in 1977.
