中国常见的访花传粉寄蝇(昆虫纲:双翅目)

访花传粉是显花植物和动物(主要是昆虫、鸟类和蝙蝠)协同进化的结果,已知显花植物85%是由昆虫传媒授粉的。双翅目寄蝇科是一类重要的访花传粉昆虫,突颜寄蝇亚科和寄蝇族等成虫最常见于各类显花植物上。报告了我国常见的访花传粉寄蝇科4亚科18族54属119种物种名录,它们在农林牧业生产、植物保护、害虫生物控制及维护生态系统平衡稳定中意义重大,但还没有被认识和利用。

Common tachinid flies of China (Insecta:Diptera) as flower visitors and pollinators

The flower visitors and pollinators are good examples of co-evolution as the results of biological interactions between animals(mainly insects,birds and bats) and flower plants(=phanerogams).It is known that 85% flower plants are pollinated by the insects.The adults of Tachinidae(Insecta,Diptera) such as Phasiinae and Tachinini are important insects of flower visitors and pollinators and are seen commonly on different kinds of flowers and may function as pollinators for a wide diversity of plant taxa,but their importance in this respect has been largely unexplored.In this study,a checklist of the common Tachinidae of China as flower visitors and pollinators is reviewed by the observation of tachinid specimens,references,photos and collecting experiences,including 119 tachinid species of 54 genera,18 tribes of 4 subfamilies.These tachinid flies play a significant role as natural enemies in the production of agriculture,forestry and animal husbandry on grasslands,plant protection,biological control of pests and the stability of terrestrial ecological communities.But they have not been fully unterstood and used.
