This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revision comprehensively documents species of the shore-fly genus Hydrochasma Hendel, which is one of three genera of the shore-fly tribe Discocerinini (subfamily Gymnomyzinae) that occurs exclusively in the New World. The other two genera are Pectinifer Cresson and Facitrichophora Mathis & Zatwarnicki. All known species of Hydrochasma are described with an em-phasis on structures of the male terminalia, which are fully de-scribed and illustrated. In addition, detailed locality data and dis-tribution maps for all species are provided. Among New World genera of Discocerinini, Hydrochasma is perhaps the least well known, as indicated by the dramatic increase in recognized species reported in this revision. Before this revision, Hydrochasma included just seven species, and herein we more than quadruple that number by adding 27 previously undescribed species. These additions bring the total number of congeners to 34. Much of this increase has resulted from a greatly improved sampling of the New World fauna, documenting the ongoing need for field work and better taxon sampling of the earth?s shore-fly fauna. With clarification of species ? how they can be recognized and where they occur ? we hope that additional research on immature stages and other aspects of their natural history and ecol-ogy will be fostered and facilitated.

Mathis and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New World species of the subgenera Allotrichoma Becker and Neotrichoma (new subgenus) (genus Allotrichoma) are revised. For phylogenetic perspective to this revision, we studied all genus-group taxa within the tribe Hecamedini and reassessed their cladis-tic relationships. Our phylogenetic study for taxa within the genus Allotrichoma was done at the species-group level, and we attempted to approach this globally by examining species from throughout the world and placing them into appropriate species groups. With-in Allotrichoma, we recognize three subgenera. All known species from the New World are described with an emphasis on structures of the male terminalia, which are fully illustrated. We more than double the number of species known from the New World with six of 12 species in the subgenus Allotrichoma being described herein, and in a newly described subgenus, Neotrichoma, two of the three species from the New World are also described.

This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revision significantly documents a continuing trend in the discovery and documentation of New World shore flies (Diptera: Ephydridae). Two genera of the tribe Discocerinini are treated: Facitrichophora, new genus, with all four included species being newly described, and Polytrichophora Cresson with 19 species, including 11 that are newly described. Previously, eight species were known from the New World. The authors emphasize structures of the male terminalia, which are fully described and illustrated, in the recognition of species and species groups. In addition, detailed locality data and distribution maps for all species are provided. Much of this increase has resulted from a greatly improved sampling of the New World fauna, which documents an ongoing need for field work and better taxon sampling of earth?s shore-fly fauna.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American species of the shore fly genus Notiphila Fallen were taxonomically revised. Over 13,000 specimens were examined from throughout the Nearctic Region and information relating to the biology of many species occurring in the West was gathered from both field and laboratory studies. Previously used characters were reevaluated; new evidence from comparative morphological studies on the male and female postabdomens, from developmental stages, and from biological and ecological observations was collected. Forty-nine characters were selected, quantified, and analyzed using standard numerical taxonomic procedures. Collectively, all these data were assessed and a classification derived. Forty-seven Notiphila species are now recognized from North America. These have been further classified into two subgenera and six species-groups. The subgenera were first erected by E.T. Cresson, Jr. and have been substantiated by the additional evidence accumulated during this study. Likewise, the species-groups are essentially those of Cresson with additions and minor modifications. Recognition of the subgenus Notiphila is supported by the external morphology of both sexes, by the morphology of the pupae and larvae, and by phenetic analysis using quantitative procedures. This subgenus includes 25 North American species of which three species are resurrected from synonomy (N. bicolor Cresson, N. cognata Cresson, and N. unicolor), two new names are proposed N. cressoni and N. paludicola for N. bicolor and N. unicolor respectively), and 13 new species are described (N. adusta, N. footei, N. pallicornis, N. taenia, N. phaeopsis, N. pulcra, N. robusta, N. eleomyia, N. latigena, N. orienta, N. pauroura, N. poliosoma, and N. shewelli). These species have been arranged into three species-groups that are based primarily on characters of the male genitalia. Most of the species of this subgenus occur in eastern North America. The second subgenus, Agrolimna, comprises 22 species, including seven new species (N. scoliochaeta, N. atrata, N. deonieri, N. deserta, N. elophila, N. nanosoma, and N. paludia). In addition/ the following synonymies are proposed (older name first: N. decoris Williston = N. atrisetis Cresson, N. quadrisetosa Thomson = N. occidentalis Cresson, and N. pulchrifrons Loew = N. signata Cresson). N. transversa Walker, listed as an Agrolimna species in the latest North American catalog, is a species of the genus Dichaeta. Three species-groups are recognized for the North American species, and most species are distributed in western North America.
