The faunisticdata of the results of collecting calliphorids (49 species) and rhinophorids (7 species) in different regions of Ukraine during 2005–2009 ingeneral are presented. From 69 species of Calliphoridae two (Bellardia vespillo and Lucilia cuprina) are firstly recorded for Ukraine, of them20 for Sumy, 19 for Poltava, 7 for Kyiv City, 6 for Odesa, 4 for Mykolayiv, 3 for Krym Republic (Crimea), Ivano-Frankivsk, Kherson, Zhytomyr,2 for Kyiv, Lugansk, Lviv, a single speciesforCherkasy,Kirovograd, Rivne, Ternopil, Volyn, Zakarpattya and Zaporizzhya Regions. From 15known species of Rhinophoridae two ones are firstly recorded for Lugansk, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and a single species for Kherson, Zaporizzhyaand Zhytomyr regions. The literature and original data on station distribution, food and others ecological aspects of the species are also presented.

A checklist is presented of all 986 extant species of Diptera known from the archipelago of the Maltese Islands situated in the central Mediterranean. Species considered to be alien to the Islands are listed with annotations in Appendix 1. The history of dipterology applicable to the islands is outlined and the three important historical published records by Zetterstedt, Rondani and Bezzi & de Stefani-Perez are listed in Appendices 2–4. Species names that are synonyms are indicated where these were used in published records for Malta more or less after the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera was published. Species we consider to have been misidentifications are also indicated with an annotation in most cases. Vermileo immaculatus Carles-Tolrá syn. n. & Cuesta-Segura and Vermileo balearicus Wheeler syn. n. are proposed junior synonyms of Vermileo vermileo (Linnaeus).

Stevenia florentina Rondani, 1861 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1861e: 144 (key), 146 (description). TYPE LOCALITY: “ Etruria [Etruria (= Tuscany, Italy)]”.

Pape det., 1986. PARALECTOTYPES NOT EXAMINED: 2 ♂♂ (both missing left fore-legs) (MZUF: Box 17): Stevenia Desv. / florentina Rnd. ♂ / 905. CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Paykullia partenopea Rondani, 1861 (Pape 1989: 356); nomen dubium in Paykullia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Herting 1993: 116); junior synonym of Paykullia partenopea Rondani, 1861 (Peris & González-Mora 2007: 49; Cerretti et al. 2020: 85). REMARKS: Rondani (1861e: 146) described Stevenia florentina from just the male sex, without specifying the exact number of specimens, but giving a single measurement of length: “ Semel marem accepi a D. Piccioli florentino in Etruria lectum [Once I obtained the male collected in Etruria from the Florentine Piccioli]”. Rondani attributed the species name to Piccioli. Pape (1989: 356) reported a ‘holotype’ in the MZUF without knowing of two additional syntype males in the MZUF, which brings the original syntype series to three specimens. In his original description, Rondani did not explicitly refer to a single male specimen, therefore Pape’s reference to a ‘holotype’ specimen must be considered as a lectotype (I.C.Z.N. 1999: Article 74.6). The additional two males in the MZUF not examined by Pape are paralectotypes. Cerretti et al. (2020: 85) incorrectly cited a holotype of this nominal species in the MZUF. Two MZUF females numbered “905” are not included in the syntype series because of their sex., Published as part of Sforzi, Alessandra & Sommaggio, Daniele, 2021, Catalog of the Diptera types described by Camillo Rondani, pp. 1-438 in Zootaxa 4989 (1) on page 187, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4980621, {"references":["Pape, T.

TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, lectotype (missing all legs except the right hind-leg) (MZUF: Box 20): Tromodesia Rnd. / vibripennis Rnd. / 1059 / lectotype ♀, Tromodesia vibripennis Rn., T. Pape det., 1986.

Coll. Big. / T. vibripennis ♀ Europe, Rond. / G. Tromodesia Rondani. CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as Tromodesia vibripennis (Pape 1989: 357, Herting 1993: 106, Pape et al. 1995: 16, Peris & González-Mora 2007: 54; Cerretti et al. 2020: 105). REMARKS: Rondani’s (1856: 87) key for the genus Tromodesia Rondani, 1856 lists Tromodesia vibripennis as its type species, but he did not provide a detailed description, type locality, number or sex of the specimens. He later (Rondani 1862d: 145) redescribed the species from both sexes. Pape (1989: 357) reported, incorrectly, that “[Rondani] mentions only the female sex” and that “I did not recover any males among the type material, but one female, the lectotype as standing as a male (males and females were kept separately ….), and Rondani may have made a misidentification”. Pape (1989: 357) designated a lectotype (♀) and paralectotypes (2 ♀♀), incorrectly reporting one of the latter as being numbered “1059” instead of “1060”, and did not know of a female in the MZUF, one specimen in the MSNC, and an additional three females in the OUMNH (all are paralectotypes)., Published as part of Sforzi, Alessandra & Sommaggio, Daniele, 2021, Catalog of the Diptera types described by Camillo Rondani, pp. 1-438 in Zootaxa 4989 (1) on page 189, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4980621, {"references":["Rondani, C.

Tachina albifrons Rondani, 1865 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1865c: 213 (key), 214 (description). TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no type locality in his original description but presumably it is Italy because the work dealt with Italian species.

Stevenia partenopea Rondani, 1861 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1861e: 144 (key), 145 (description). TYPE LOCALITY: “ prope Neapolim [near Naples (Italy)]”.

The subsequent spelling “ parthenopea ” has been used (Bezzi & Stein 1907: 439, Stein 1924: 182, Herting 1961: 30, 1974: 143) but it is not in prevailing usage (Pape 1989: 357, Pape et al. 1995: 16, Peris & González-Mora 2007: 49, O’Hara et al. 2011: 212, Cerretti et al. 2020: 85).

Tachina erucarum Rondani, 1859 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1859b: 195 (key), 201 (description). TYPE LOCALITY: “ environs de Lille [near Lille (France)]” (Macquart 1834b: 129) [type locality for Tachina angusta Macquart, 1854]. TYPE MATERIAL: see Remarks. CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Exorista (Adenia) mimula (Meigen, 1824) (Herting & Dely-Draskovits 1993: 126). REMARKS: Rondani (1859b: 201) considered the males of Tachina angusta Macquart, 1854 and Tachina angustifasciata Macquart, 1854, and the females of Tachina flavicalyptrata Macquart, 1854, Tachina celer Macquart, 1854 and Tachina pusilla Macquart, 1834, as the same species but, instead of applying the Principle of Priority, incorrectly proposed the substitute name Tachina erucarum. Schiner (1861b: 474, 1864: 93), Meade (1892a: 37), Strobl (1893: 91), Mik & Wachtl (1895: 248) and Bezzi & Stein (1907: 347) considered Tachina erucorum as a valid species. The type material for Tachina erucarum will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e., Tachina angusta. There is no type of this latter species in the MHNL (O. Boilly, pers. comm., 2019), MNHN (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 2020) and OUMNH (Z. Simmons, pers. comm., 2019) where Macquart’s collection is preserved. Under the name Tachina erucarum there are three males and four females in the MZUF, and one male and one female in the MSNC (all non-types)., Published as part of Sforzi, Alessandra & Sommaggio, Daniele, 2021, Catalog of the Diptera types described by Camillo Rondani, pp. 1-438 in Zootaxa 4989 (1) on page 357, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4980621, {"references":["Macquart, P. - J. - M.

Rhinophoridae This family of Calyptratae contains about 200 species predominantly from Europe and Africa (Cerretti et al. 2014, 2020, Evenhuis & Pape 2020). Rondani (1856, 1861e, 1862d, 1865 c, 1868a) described 15 Palaearctic nominal species in his “ Stirps Dexina ” and “ Stirps Tachinina ”. Six nominal species are currently considered as valid and nine as junior synonyms (Herting 1993, Pape 1989, Pape et al. 1995, Peris & González-Mora 2007).

Terrestrial isopods are soil macroarthropods that have few known parasites and parasitoids. All known parasitoids are from the family Rhinophoridae (Insecta: Diptera). The present article reviews the known biology of Rhinophoridae flies and presents the first record of Rhinophoridae larvae on a Neotropical woodlouse species. We also compile and update all published interaction records. The Neotropical woodlouseBalloniscusglaberwas parasitized by two different larval morphotypes of Rhinophoridae. Including this new record, there are 18 Isopoda species known to be parasitized and 13 Rhinophoridae species with known hosts, resulting in 35 interactions. There are a total of 53 interaction records from Holarctic and Neotropical countries. Of the 18 known isopod hosts, only five species have more than one parasitoid, including the new Neotropical host record presented in this work.

Three new species of Rhinophoridae (Aporeomyia elaphocerasp. nov., Baniassa pennatasp. nov. from the Oriental Region, and Phyto mambillasp. nov. from the Afrotropical Region) are described, illustrated and compared with congeners. Genus-level affiliation of the new species is based on a morphology-based phylogeny, preliminarily accepting a paraphyletic Phyto Robineau-Desvoidy awaiting incorporation of molecular data. Keys to the species of the genus Aporeomyia Pape &amp, Shima as well as to the Afrotropical species of the genus Phyto Robineau-Desvoidy are given.

The world Rhinophoridae are catalogued, recognising 33 genera and 177 species. Nomenclatural information is provided for all genus-group and species-group names, including lists of synonyms and name-bearing type data. Species distributions are recorded by country. A key to the world genera is presented. Four new genera are erected to accommodate five new species, which do not fit within any of the current generic concepts in Rhinophoridae, according to the results of a morphology-based phylogenetic analysis:MarshalliconaCerretti & Pape with type speciesMarshallicona quituCerretti & Pape,gen. et sp. nov.(Ecuador);MaurhinophoraCerretti & Pape with type speciesMaurhinophora indoceanicaCerretti & Pape,gen. et sp. nov.(Mauritius);NeotarsinaCerretti & Pape with type speciesNeotarsina caraibicaCerretti & Pape,gen. et sp. nov.(Trinidad and Tobago) andNeotarsina andinaCerretti & Pape,sp. nov.(Peru);KinabalumyiaCerretti & Pape with type speciesKinabalumyia pinaxCerretti & Pape,gen. et sp. nov.(Malaysia, Sabah). The genusAporeomyiaPape & Shima (type speciesAporeomyia antennalisPape & Shima), originally assigned to Tachinidae, is here reassigned to Rhinophoridae based on a reassessment of the homologies of the male terminalia. The following five species-group names, which were previously treated as junior synonyms or nomina dubia, are recognised as valid species names:Acompomintho caucasica(Villeneuve, 1908),stat. rev.[from nomen dubium to valid species];Acompomintho sinensis(Villeneuve, 1936),stat. rev.[from nomen dubium to valid species];Stevenia bertei(Rondani, 1865),stat. rev.[from nomen dubium to valid species];Stevenia sardoaVilleneuve, 1920,stat. rev.[from junior synonym ofRhinophora deceptoriaLoew, 1847 to valid species];Stevenia subalbida(Villeneuve, 1911),stat. rev.[from junior synonym ofRhinophora deceptoriaLoew, 1847 to valid species]. Reversal of precedence is invoked for the following case of subjective synonymy to promote stability in nomenclature:Rhinophora lepida(Meigen, 1824),nomen protectum, andMusca parcusHarris, 1780: 144,nomen oblitum. New generic and specific synonymies are proposed for the following two names:MimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935, junior synonym ofTromodesiaRondani, 1856,syn. nov.andPtilocheta tacchettiRondani, 1865, junior synonym ofStevenia obscuripennis(Loew, 1847),syn. nov.The following new combinations are proposed:Acompomintho sinensis(Villeneuve, 1936),comb. nov.[transferred fromTricogenaRobineau-Desvoidy, 1830];Tromodesia guzari(Rohdendorf, 1935),comb. nov.[transferred fromMimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935];Tromodesia intermedia(Rohdendorf, 1935),comb. nov.[transferred fromMimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935];Tromodesia lindneriana(Rohdendorf, 1961),comb. nov.[transferred fromMimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935];Tromodesia magnifica(Rohdendorf, 1935),comb. nov.[transferred fromMimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935];Tromodesia obscurior(Rohdendorf, 1935),comb. nov.[transferred fromMimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935];Tromodesia pallidissima(Rohdendorf, 1935),comb. nov.[transferred fromMimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935];Tromodesia setiventris(Rohdendorf, 1935),comb. nov.[transferred fromMimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935] andTromodesia shachrudi(Rohdendorf, 1935),comb. nov.[transferred fromMimodexiaRohdendorf, 1935].

Adult blowflies of the large tropical genus Bengalia present a peculiar predacious behaviour, while breeding habits and morphology of their preimaginal instars have remained almost entirely unknown. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) were successfully adopted for the first documentation of morphology of eggs and first instar larvae of two species of Bengalia obtained in West Bengal, India. General egg morphology resembles the ground plan known from necrophagous blowflies, with similar form and structure of median area, hatching pleats and micropyle. The structure of the chorion, with subducted central parts of hexagons, is most similar to eggs of parasitic Pollenia and Rhinophoridae. Morphology of the first instar larvae of Bengalia is entirely different from known larvae of necrophagous blowflies. The complex anterior part of the cephaloskeleton in first instar Bengalia is unique within the Calyptratae, although the pseudocephalic sensory organs resemble those found in parasitic species of Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae with a free-living first instar larva penetrating the soil environment. However, larval biology in Bengalia and in particular the function of their unique mouthhooks need further studies with an integrated field and laboratory approach.

Trypetidomima Townsend is a Neotropical Rhinophoridae genus with a single species, T. lutea Townsend, from southeastern Brazil. Based on comprehensive material from Atlantic Forest localities, we found a new species of Trypetidomima, herein described and named as T. fusca sp. nov., with geographical occurrence in the State of Sao Paulo, southeastern Brazil. With the addition of this new species, the genus is redefined, and an identification key is provided to distinguish between the 2 known species. The type-species, T. lutea Townsend, is redescribed, including the description of the previously unknown female.
