Dipteran infestation of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtle nests in northern Cyprus

This paper describes dipteran infestation of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtle nests in northern Cyprus in 1996 and 1997. Insect larvae were collected from infested nests, reared to adulthood and identified to species. A minimum of 13.4% (1996) and 17.4% (1997) of loggerhead turtle nests and 3.3% and 20.7% of green turtle nests were infested in 1996 and 1997, respectively. Eleven dipteran species were found infesting turtle nests with one species (Sarcotachina aegyptiaca) being dominant. Gross estimates, utilizing the speeds of development for three species of sarcophagid showed that infestation was taking place differentially between the two turtle species. Various aspects of the effect of dipteran infestation on marine turtle nests in northern Cyprus and recommendations for future investigations are discussed.     

中国阿坝麻蝇雌性补充描述和雄性再描述（双翅目：麻蝇科）

近年来,笔者赴云南省白马雪山和梅里雪山等地进行了麻蝇科种类的采集和调查工作,其中采集了较多的阿坝麻蝇,并首次发现了该种雌性标本;在标本检视过程中,发现该种原始报告不完善,其雄性外部形态特征描述不够全面,且尾器特征图仅绘制了轮廓。为此,对其雄性标本进行了再描述,又对其雌性外部形态和尾器特征一并报告。Pape于1996年将亚麻蝇属Parasarcophaga JohnstonetTiegs列为麻蝇属Sarcophaga中的一亚属,因此,将原为亚麻蝇属的阿坝亚麻蝇重新组合为阿坝麻蝇Sarcophaga（Parasarcophaga）abaensis（FengetQiao）。研究标本均保存于沈阳师范大学昆虫研究所。     

上海市拟黑麻蝇属一新种(双翅目:麻蝇科)

浦东拟黑麻蝇Beziella pudongensis新种系最近在上海市浦东国际机场所采获,本文作了详细描述;新种模式标本存中国科学院上海昆虫研究所.该属首次在广东深圳市发现一新种深圳拟黑麻蝇B.shenzhengensisFan(2002),本文将这两种列表作了比较.     

浦东拟黑麻蝇三龄幼虫记述(双翅目:麻蝇科)

调查中在上海浦东芦苇荡里的死螃蜞体内发现三龄幼虫,经饲养羽化出浦东拟黑麻蝇Beziella pudongensis Fan,Chen et Lu,sp.n.(武夷科学,待发表)雄、雌成虫.本新种三令幼虫记述,亦是拟黑麻蝇属中的幼虫首次报道. 本新种与黑尾黑麻蝇Helicophagella melanura(Meigen)的雄虫虽貌似而不近缘,本文从它们三龄幼虫的体壁、口咽器、前气门、后气门、后突起群的突形等都有很大差异,而生态习性也显然不同,黑尾黑麻蝇幼虫常在人、畜粪中发现,是住区常见蝇种之一,而浦东拟黑麻蝇幼虫仅在大片芦苇荡地表的死螃蜞体内发现.两者绝非近缘属、种.
