Topic: Stratiomyidae


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  European Journal of Entomology
The larval mouthparts are similar to those of other known Stratiomyidae larvae but may display a set of autapomorphic characters.
The structure of the mandibular-maxillary complex suggests that larvae of Ptecticus are micropantophagous scavengers that feed chiefly upon microorganisms.
This is the first record of aquatic Sarginae larvae and egg plastron in the Stratiomyidae.

 Phylogeny of Clitellariinae: Gateway to the Stratiomyidae (Diptera)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Utah State University, Department of Biology, 5305 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT Stratiomyidae is a diverse, cosmopolitan family of Diptera (true flies).
Understanding the evolutionary history of Clitellariinae is key to reconstructing the phylogeny of Stratiomyidae as a whole because Clitellariinae is united only by shared ancestral characters.
Trees were congruent with respect to monophyly of all other subfamily clades within Stratiomyidae, with the exception of Stratiomyinae.

 Woodley, N. E.: World Catalog of the Stratiomyidae
The soldier flies or Stratiomyidae are a fairly large family of lower brachycerous Diptera, showing an inordinate amount of morphological diversity for a single family, as well as a fair diversity of habits.
Many adult stratiomyids are brightly coloured (illustrated on the 3 colour plates in the book) and moderately large, but probably due to their relative scarcity in the field, they have not attracted the same degree of study that other large fly families, such as the Asilidae and Syrphidae, have received.
The starting point for this catalog was a compilation of the available regional catalogues of Stratiomyidae (James 1973,1975,1980; Rozkozny and Nartshuk 1988; Woodley 1989) together with a manuscript catalogue of the Nearctic Region that the author prepared.

 Biosystematic and ecological studies on Oriental Stratiomyidae (Diptera)
The state of knowledge: The cosmopolitan family Stratiomyidae includes a wide range of considerably different forms, the larvae of which live as micropantophages in standing waters, soil, under the bark of trees and in decaying remains of plant and animal origin.
During recent studies on animal communities associated with bamboo, 11 stratiomyid species were reared from decaying bamboo culms and additional 9 species from other microhabitats.

Chalcis canadensis (Cresson) parasitizing soldier fly eggs (Diptera: Stratiomyidae).
This standing method of oviposition, often employed by this species, allows the female to free an egg from the mass, swing her abdomen forward to oviposit into the egg, release the egg and swing her abdomen (with egg still on ovipositor) behind her where the egg is deposited into a growing pile of parasitized eggs.

Some will be mounted at LACM prior to their being sent out, specifically Stratiomyidae, Tabanidae, Sacrophagidae and Asilidae.
Diptera constitute a huge portion of a Malaise trap catch, and much of this person's time will be spent sorting samples (depending on sample size, approximately 3-5 samples/day is a reasonable rate).
As part of the institutional commitment, if this proposal is funded, this position could be made permanent at the end of the grant period.

The pupa, however, is not always exposed to view; it may be enclosed either in a cocoon of extraneous matter (e.g., soil, or silk, or a mixture of the two) or in a puparium, which is a case formed by the hardening of the larval skin.
A puparium is formed in flies of the family Stratiomyidae and others that have maggots as larvae (all Cyclorrhapha).
Many families of flies form cocoons sporadically; the cocoon has evolved as an adaptive device that provides extra protection to the pupa.
