New Ommatius Wiedemann From The Americas With Two New Species Groups, Keys, And Taxonomic Notes (Diptera: Asilidae), Aubrey G. Scarbrough
New Ommatius Wiedemann From The Americas With Two New Species Groups, Keys, And Taxonomic Notes (Diptera: Asilidae), Aubrey G. Scarbrough
Insecta Mundi
Two species groups are proposed for Ommatius Wiedemann, normus and tibialis species groups, increasing the number to eight groups from the Americas. The normus group includes six species, two of which are new, O. nebulosus n. sp. and O. tepui n. sp., from Venezuela. This species group thus far extends from Venezuela southward into Paraguay and southern Brazil. Ommatius pulcher (Engel) is redescribed and a neotype designated. The tibialis group includes eight previously described species from eastern and southwestern United States. Ommatius gemma Brimley is transferred to the costatus group. Keys to the eight species groups and the species of …
Catalogue Of The Ectoparasitic Insects Of The Bats Of Argentina, Analia G. Autino, Guillermo E. Claps
Catalogue Of The Ectoparasitic Insects Of The Bats Of Argentina, Analia G. Autino, Guillermo E. Claps
Insecta Mundi
Abstract:Taxonomy and distribution of the ectoparasitic insects of bats from Argentina, are reviewed. Seventeen species of Diptera (six of Nycteribiidae and eleven of Streblidae), six species of Siphonaptera (four of Ischnopsyllidae, one of Pulicidae, and one of Stephanocircidae), and seven species of Hemiptera (Polyctenidae) are known presently for Argentina. The information was obtained by reviewing the literature and collecting in the field between 1989 and 1998. The specimens collected in the field were compared with the type material deposited at the Field Museum of Natural History (CHNM).

Revision Of The Genus Boettcheria In America North Of Mexico (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), Gregory A. Dahlem, William L. Downes Jr.
Insecta Mundi
The seven Nearctic species of Boettcheria are revised and distributional data are given for North America. Both sexes can be identified from the key. Bionomic information is included. Boettcheria pugetensis Dodge, 1967 is placed as a junior synonym of B. melanderi Dodge, 1967 (NEW SYNONYM), and a lectotype is designated for B. cimbicis (Townsend). B. mexicana Lopes is recorded from the Nearctic region for the first time.
