This is the first contribution on the blister beetles (Meloidae) of the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), but new records from all countries of the Arabian Peninsula are also included, with the addition…
Systematic revision of the genus Cerocoma Geoffroy, 1762 (Coleoptera: Meloidae: Cerocomini)
- Federica Turco, M. Bologna
- Biology
- 29 April 2011
The taxonomy of the Palaearctic genus Cerocoma is revised using a classical morphological approach, and adult morphological characters and molecular datasets are used, separately and combined, to carry out the first attempt to elucidate the cerocoma phylogeny, using Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian Inference.

First-instar larvae of five species of Lydina, belonging to three genera – Lydus trimaculatus italicus Kaszab, L. europaeus Escherich, Oenas crassicornis, and Alosimus chalybaeus – are described, and new observations on two species previously described are carried out.
Potential of ants and beetles as indicators of rainforest restoration: characterising pasture and rainforest remnants as reference habitats

Compared assemblages of ant and beetle species between two reference habitats, pasture and remnant rainforest in subtropical eastern Australia, patterns of change in species composition were similar between ants and beetles, suggesting either is an appropriate focal taxon for future monitoring programmes.
The Meloidae (Coleoptera) of Australasia: a generic review, descriptions of new taxa, and a challenge to the current definition of subfamilies posed by exceptional variation in male genitalia

Exceptional variation of male genitalia encountered in the Palaestrini challenges current subfamily definitions, which are partly based on male genitalic structure and correlated sexual behaviour.
The phylogeny of stiletto flies (Diptera: Therevidae)
- S. Winterton, N. Hardy, B. Wiegmann
- Biology
- 1 January 2016
The results strongly support the sister‐group relationship between Therevidae and Scenopinidae, with Apsilocephalidae as sister to Evocoidae, and Agapophytinae are recovered as monophyletic, inclusive of the Taenogera group.
Altitudinal and seasonal variation in the family-level assemblages of flies (Diptera) in an Australian subtropical rainforest: one hundred thousand and counting!

- Environmental Science
- 2011
Many surveys around the world have examined the altitudinal or seasonal variation of invertebrate biodiversity but few have concentrated on the fly fauna because of difficulties with the amount of…
