Topic: Cyclorrhapha


  
  Order Diptera - Flies - BugGuide.Net
Aschiza - A subdivision of the Cyclorrhapha that is probably paraphyletic.
Schizophora - A monophyletic subdivision of the Cyclorrhapha, these flies have a suture on the front of the head where a balloon-like structure, the ptilinum, is inflated to open up the pupal case when the adult emerges.
Calyptratae - A subdivision of the Schizophora that is probably monophyletic; have several shared morphological characteristics including the prominent lower calypter on the wing.

Cyclorrhapha is an unranked taxon within the infraorder Muscomorpha.
They are called Cyclorrhapha ('circular-seamed flies') with reference to the circular aperture through which the adult escapes the puparium.
This is a circumscriptional name that has significant historical familiarity, but in the present classification, this name is synonymous with the more recent "Muscomorpha"; details and reasoning are presented Brachycera.

Eremoneura, and its constituent clades Empidoidea and Cyclorrhapha, are monophyletic.
Cyclorrhapha have traditionally been divided into two groups, Aschiza and Schizophora, based on the absence or presence, respectively, of a ptilinal fissure (114).
The lower Brachycera (Orthorrhapha) are represented on the diagram by the infraorders Stratiomyomorpha, Xylophagomorpha, and Tabanomorpha and the superfamilies Nemestrinoidea, Asiloidea, and Empidoidea.

The Cyclorrhapha are further divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of the ptilinum and associated fissure on the head.
The ptilinum is a sac which is everted during the emergence of the adult fly to assist in breaking free of the puparium.

 Fathom :: The Source for Online Learning
The Cyclorrhapha are characterised by the adult flies' short antennae and reduced segmentation, while the larvae are headless "maggots" that pupate inside a puparium (a case formed from the skin of the final larval instar within which pupation takes place).
The Cyclorrhapha suborder is split into three parts: the Aschiza, the Calyptrates and the Acalyptrates.
Their distinguishing feature is that the adults, unlike other Cyclorrhapha, lack an organ called the ptilinum, an inflatable sac situated on the front of the head which helps the newly hatched fly emerge from the pupa.

 FLIES
The Cyclorrhapha used to be classified as a seperate suborder but is now grouped with the suborder Brachycera, generally classed as the higher flies.
Adult flies of this suborder can be distinguished by arista on the terminal segment of their three segmented antennae.
Diptera usually exhibit four larval stages although in many Cyclorrhapha only three are visible as the fourth larval stage develops within the exuvium (hardened cuticle) of the third larval stage.

 Parasitology: The Biology of Cestodes info
Infraorder Cyclorrhapha - Adults with short, 3 segmented antennae with specialized arista at base of last segment.
The Cyclorrhapha is first divided into a paraphyletic "Aschiza", and the "Schizophora" a monophyletic group characterized by an unusual structure termed the "ptilinum" which is used by the newly emerged adult fly to exit the puparium.
The Schizophora is in turn, divided into a paraphyletic Acalyptratae, flies lacking basal lobes, or calypteres, on their wings, and the Calyptratae, flies having these lobes.

 FLYTREE Phylogeny, the story so far - p. 2
The supertree generally supports recent research and shows that major dipteran higher categories such as Brachycera, Eremoneura, Muscomorpha, Cyclorrhapha, Schizophora, and Calyptrata are monophyletic.
Conversely, a number of traditional higher taxa are paraphyletic based on morphological and molecular data.
The paraphyly of the Lower Diptera has been suspected for decades, beginning with Hennig, and demonstrated in recent quantitative cladistic analyses using morphological data (Oosterbroek and Courtney, 1995).

 Interactive Fly, Drosophila
The zerknüllt gene is expressed zygotically on the dorsal side of the embryo and is required for establishing extraembryonic tissue.
In contrast, Cyclorrhapha including Megaselia and Drosophila develop without such wrapping, and the extraembryonic tissue is reduced to a transient dorsal epithelium, termed amnioserosa and, as recently discovered in Drosophila, some additional cells surrounding the yolk.
It is suggested that anterior localization of Bicoid, which is based on specific sequence elements in the 3' untranslated region of the gene, and respecification of anterior blastoderm toward an embryonic fate were important steps toward this goal.

 Jean-Baptiste Robineau-Desvoidy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was born 1 January 1799 in Saint Sauveur where he became a physician and died in Paris 25 June 1857.
Because he worked on difficult to identify flies especially the Cyclorrhapha – Calyptratae, the existing descriptions of which were poor, and because he had few contacts many of the new species he described were already named.
Much later criticism ensued but it must be remembered that he was an early worker and, in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars French scientists were unduly criticised for nationalistic reasons.

 Muscomorpha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Cyclorrhapha is used, in various modern classifications, to represent either a subgroup within the infraorder Muscomorpha, or simply a rankless group within the Brachycera.
In either case, the Empidoidea are the sister taxon to the Cyclorrhapha.
In the Tree of Life Web Project system, which is non-Linnaean, the name "Muscomorpha" refers to the Asilomorpha plus the Cyclorrhapha.

 Studia dipterologica - Volume 9(1)
In each of the following families of Cyclorrhapha, taxa with the full complement of three aristal segments, as well as taxa with fewer segments, are recorded: ?Lonchopteridae, Phoridae, ?Platypezidae, ?Asteiidae, Canacidae (provisionally including Zaleinae), Carnidae s.l., Chloropidae, Chyromyidae, Conopidae, ?Cryptochetidae, Diopsidae, Drosophilidae, Neriidae, Neurochaetidae, Oestridae s.l., Periscelididae, Platystomatidae, Pseudopomyzidae, Sphaeroceridae, Syrphidae, Tethinidae.
The three-segmented condition is probably in the groundplan of the Cyclorrhapha, but it cannot be demonstrated at present that it is an autapomorphy for this taxon, as the groundplan condition of the Eremoneura is unknown.

The monophyly of the Empidoidea, as well as the position and rank of higher-level empidoid clades remains unresolved despite numerous analyses using morphological data.
In addition, the origin of the Cyclorrhapha and their relationship to the Empidoidea continues to be debated.

 Characteristics and Natural History of "Empididae"
The Empidoidea are considered to be a monophyletic lineage that is the sister group to the Cyclorrhapha (Cumming et al.
Chvála (1983) was the first to divide the Empidoidea into several families, namely the Empididae, Hybotidae, Atelestidae, Microphoridae, and Dolichopodidae, but recognition of the precise limits of these families, particularly on a worldwide level, has remained debated (see Woodley 1989; Cumming 1989; Cumming et al.
Recently an extensive cladistic analysis of the Empidoidea and the basal lineages of the Cyclorrhapha by Sinclair and Cumming (2006) resulted in these authors dividing the superfamily into following five families: Empididae, Hybotidae, Atelestidae, Brachystomatidae and Dolichopodidae s.lat.

 CNN.com - The buzz on ancient flies in Antarctica - May. 9, 2003
The find by geologist Allan Ashworth, detailed in this week's journal Nature, could open a new chapter in the understanding of plant and animal life in ancient Antarctica and shed light on global changes in the the climate.
Until now, scientists did not think that the coldest continent ever harbored this type of flies, which are from the Cyclorrhapha family, so-called "higher flies" that include the common housefly, Ashworth said.
They could have existed during a warm spell several million years ago or could have been part of the animal life of the mega-continent Gondwana that later split up, according to researchers.
