Information about feeding habits and host-plants is given for 24 species
of insects reared from the stem or leaves of wetland herbaceous monocots,
primarily Carex lacustris Willd. and Phalaris arundinacea L., in southern
Quebec. Nineteen species of Diptera in eight families (1 Dolichopodidae,
2 Otitidae, 1 Anthomyzidae, 1 Agromyzidae, 1 Chamaemyiidae, 1 Sphaeroceridae,
11 Chloropidae, 1 Scathophagidae), three Lepidoptera in the families Cosmopterigidae,
Elachistidae, and Noctuidae, and two weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
were reared from four species of host plants. Seven species are phytophagous
primary invaders, thirteen are secondary invaders (mostly saprophagous)
inside the burrows of primary invaders, two are predators of aphids and
other invertebrates living on the leaves of the plants, and two have unknown
feeding habits.

The genus Mastigomyia Becker is redefined, and is a member of subfamily
Sympycninae (Diptera: Dolichopodidae). The genus is based on male secondary
sexual characters of the antenna: an elongate first flagellomere, which
bears a highly reduced and bristle-like arista. Mastigomyia is known only
from the Oriental region, and comprises four species, M. gratiosa Becker,
from Taiwan, Laos and Japan (Ryukyus), M. anomalicerus (Hollis), n. comb.,
from Nepal, and two new species, M. trangensis from Thailand, and M. amami
from the Ryukyus.

Biodiversitet in einem naturnahen, mit einem Seeabfluss beginnenden bach
des norddeutschen tieflandes (Unterer Schierenseebach, Schleswig-Holstein).
Eine oekologisch kommentierte Zusammenstellung der bislang nachgewiesenen
pflanzen- und tierarten.
[Biodiversity in a natural brook originating at a lake outflow in the northern
German lowlands (Unterer Schierenseebach, Schleswig-Holstein). An ecologically
commented preliminary inventory of animal and plant species.]

5-79.
At present, our knowledge of the biodiversity, in other words the multitude
of animal and plant species living in the running waters, is very insufficient.
This is the case for the high-mountain and mountain brooks and in particular
for the lowland brooks. Therefore, we started 25 years ago to investigate
one of the brooks of the Northern German Lowlands, the Lower Schierensee
Brook, and examined its flora and especially its fauna in the course of
several ecologically oriented studies. The Lower Schierensee Brook was
an ideal object for our studies, because it is one of the few lowland brooks,
which is still relatively unimpaired by human influences, so that a biocoenosis
typical for running waters in this location could be expected. The lower
Schierensee Brook is located in the glacial landscape of the eastern Schleswig-Holstein.
It is the outlet of a eutrophic lake and flows after 730 m into another
lake. The upper lake causes an increasing pH-value and also an increasing
temperature and oxygen concentration. Forest lines the beginning and end
parts of the brook (Upper and Lower Forest Part) and shades the water.
The woods lining the middle part of the brook have been felled more than
half a century ago to create space for pastures. In every vegetation period
dense stands of emerse macrophytes developed in the brook because of the
unimpeded insolation. They suppressed the brook's current and took away
the viability of the running-water biocoenosis. For that reason we planted
several lines of alders (Alnus glutinosa) at both banks in the middle part
of the Lower Schierensee Brook (the so-called Meadow Part) at the beginning
of our studies in 1977. Within a few years the alders had grown enough
to reduce the development of the macrophytes in the brook's bed and thereby
securing the brooks current, so that a resettlement of rheobiontic and
rheophilous organisms out of the Upper and Lower Forest Parts could start.
At the beginning of the planting the vegetation of the brook's bed and
both banks have been mapped, as well as the change of the vegetation caused
by the growing trees and their shading. About 10 years ago the growing
of the alders weakened. They were strongly attacked by alder leaf beetles
(Agelastica alni; Chrysomelidae). Many alders died and were replaced by
willows (Salix cinerea, Salix aurita) in fall 1997. In addition to the
mapping of the Pteridophyta (6 species) and Spermatophyta(139 species)
in the brook and on its banks the Diatomeae (Bacillariophyceae) of the
Lower Schierensee Brook have been examined. They exist in 160 different
species in the brook. Some of them come from the upper lake and are washed
in great numbers into the brook, where they sink onto the ground and die.
From the Lower Schierensee Brook's fauna only groups of Metazoa have been
examined so far. The total number of metazoan species found in the brook
is 612. All these species are for the first time compiled in this publication
from many different and partly unpublished studies and presented together
with ecological results. The Insecta show by far the greatest number of
species. With 478 species they have a total share of 78.1% of the total
number of metazoan species. The largest group within the Insecta are the
Diptera with their 320 species, a share of 67% of all Insecta. The family
with the by far most species within the insects and the Metazoa are the
Chironomidae. 196 species of them could be found in the Lower Schierensee
Brook, meaning that every third metazoan species is a chironomid. Within
the Diptera the Ceratopogonidae with 60 species are the second largest
and the Psychodidae with 17 species the third largest group. The four Nematocera
families Pediciidae, Limonildae, Tipulidae, and Cylindrotomidae can be
included into the brooks fauna only with a few species; in the alder forest
adjoining the Lower Schierensee Brook many different species of these families
could be caught, but their larvae live in habitats which do not belong
to the brook itself. Also, of the Empididae (12 species) and the Dolichopodidae
(10 species) only a few species can be counted to the brooks fauna. In
the emergence traps even in aquatic locations imagines of many species
of both families were caught, but they penetrated the traps from the outside,
meaning that their larvae did not develop in aquatic or semiaquatic environments.
Within the Insecta the Diptera are followed by the Coleoptera with 67,
the Trichoptera with 38 and the Odonata with 26 species. The Ephemeroptera
(12 species) and even more the Plecoptera (2 species) are of lesser importance
in the Lower Schierensee Brook. This is one major difference between the
lowland streams and the high-mountain and mountain streams. Except the
Insecta the Mollusca (26 Gastropoda and 17 Bivalvia species), Oligochaeta
(33 species), Hydrachnidia (19 species), and Pisces (17 species) are the
most extensive groups. The individual animal groups are compared with other
streams mainly of the North German Lowlands concerning their number of
species. Several metazoan groups have not yet been examined in the Lower
Schierensee Brook. Many different species can be expected in particular
from the Nematoda and Rotatoria. It can be assumed that the total number
of metazoan species in the Lower Schierensee Brook amount to 800-1000,
so that the biodiversity is as high as in the other brooks in Central Europe,
that have so far been examined intensively. In contrast to these other
brooks the Lower Schierensee Brook has a length of only 730 m, so that
an extremely high complexity and confinement of the environment structure
must be assumed. Among the 612 metazoan species, that are known in the
Lower Schierensee Brook so far, are 21 rheotypical elements of fauna. These
are rheophious or rheobiontic species, that are susceptible to anthropogenic
changes (brook's structure, water quality) and that demonstrate with their
high numbers of occurrences the closeness to nature of the Lower Schierensee
Brook. Many species of the Lower Schierensee Brook are part of the Red
List of endangered species. The range of endangered species begins with
snails (6 species) and mussels (9 species) and ends with fishes (6 species).
Moreover, the Lower Schierensee Brook is a biotope for many rare and even
extremely rare species; only the two snails Marstoniopsis scholtzi and
Anisus vorticulus, the three mussels Pseudanodonta complanata, Unio crassus,
and Pisidium pseudosphaerium, the ground bug Aphelocheirus aestivalis,
and the fly Atrichops crassipes may be cited here.

Journal-of-Forest-Science-Prague. [print] 2001; 47 (Special Issue 2): 73-76.
The biodiversity and abundance of the bark beetles and their predators
and parasitoids on spruce has been studied since 1998 in the area of Modrava.
Among the 13 identified bark beetle species dominated: Polygraphus poligraphus,
Crypturgus pusillus and Ips typographus. The most abundant predatory and
parasitoid species included: Roptorocerus xylophagorum, Rhopalicus tutella,
Cosmophorus klugii, Dendrosoter middendorffii (Hymenoptera, fam. Pteromalidae,
Braconidae), Medetera signaticornis, Lonchea bruggeri (Diptera, fam. Dolichopodidae,
Lonchaeidae), Placusa pumilio (Coleoptera, fam. Staphylinidae). The quantitative
occurrence of bioregulators in samples varied from 7 to 83 % (100% = all
insects in the sample). In the samples with high population density the
bioregulators were able to reduce the bark beetles significantly.

Some wetland Diptera of a disused brick-pit.
Orchid House, Burridge, Axminster, Devon EX13 7DF, UK
British-Journal-of-Entomology-and-Natural-History. 2002 May; 15(1): 9-23
Diptera records were collated for several years of collecting at a disused
brick-pit containing many temporary pools and a lake. The fauna included
many uncommon species and a few coastal species whose presence is attributed
to salinity from the clay. The numbers of Ephydridae and Dolichopodidae
from areas with different hydrological characteristics are highest in areas
of shallow pools and seasonal inundation and lowest at the shore of the
lake. Species that are normally abundant in surrounding wetlands are scarce
in the pit, suggesting that the low nutrient status of the water makes
this site unusual in the nutrient-rich arable countryside of the Fens.

Evolution of the middle leg basal articulations in flies (Diptera).

E-Mail: leopup@vzb.pp.kiev.ua, Ukraine
Acta-Zoologica-Stockholm. [print] April, 2002; 83 (2): 125-147.
The morphology of the coxa and trochanter was studied in 205 species from
68 fly families to compare these structures with respect to ability to
fly in a streamlined posture, with the middle legs pointing forward and
pressed to the thorax. Only Brachycera are able to attain this posture.
The forward turn of the coxa at this position is hindered by the junction
of the coxa with the pleuron. Recovery of mobility is gained in two ways.
(1) By reduction of the contact zone between coxa and pleurite, as in Asiloidea,
Bombyloidea, and Empidoidea. Within these flies, the streamlined posture
was recorded in Bombyliidae and in a robber-fly, Laphria flava. Others
fly with their middle legs straddled laterally or trailing backwards. (2)
Longitudinal splitting of the coxa into three coxites provides intracoxal
mobility in most Tabanoidea and Cyclorrhapha. The hind and medial coxites
rotate about the front coxite and change the coxo-trochanteral axis, thus
compensating for restricted protraction. Separation of the hind coxite
appears in primitive Tabanoidea, and a separate middle coxite was found
in several families among the Nematocera. The streamlined posture was recorded
in horse-flies, stratiomyids, and in many Cyclorrhapha except Micropezidae
and Hippoboscidae. There is morphological evidence for a possible secondary
fusion of coxites at least in Dolichopodidae and Opetidae as well as for
the origin of Cyclorrhapha from a miniature ancestor.

Flight posture biomechanics of the middle legs in flies (Diptera).
Entomologicheskoe-Obozrenie. [print] 2000; 79 (2): 303-315.
Flight posture was recorded on tethered flying insects. Anatomical measurements
were carried out on fresh insects or on preparations fixed in 70degree
alcohol and macerated in 10 % NaOH. Middle legs in Nematocera, Rhagio,
Empididae, Dolichopodidae, most of Asilidae slack behind or are staddled
sidewards. Most of Brachycera press their fore and middle legs to the body
in order to lessen their aerial resistance. The middle femur points up
and backward, the tibia is bended ahead of the femur and points medially.
The ability to attain the streamlined posture is related to composition
of the middle coxa of movable sclerites and to the angle between the subcoxal
axes (it must be over 90degree). Kinematic models of leg articulations
were investigated. The complex structure of the middle coxa is the adaptation
to the swift and versatile flight.

The majority of Dolichopodidae species collected on the Brandberg were
trapped using light traps as opposed to Malaise traps and yellow pan traps.
Eight Brandberg species represent only a small part of the Namibian fauna:
Asyndetus virgatus Curran, Campsicnemus caffer Curran, Chrysotus inconspicuus
Loew, Hydrophorus praecox Lehmann, Medetera capensis Curran, Medetera sp.
nov., Sympycnus munroi Curran, Thrypticus kataevi Grichanov. They represent
seven genera and four subfamilies: Diaphorinae, Hydrophorinae, Medeterinae
and Sympycnynae. The numbers of individuals trapped were considerably more
numerous in the surrounding Namib plains than on the Brandberg itself.
Both recorded species of Medetera Fisher von Waldheim were only represented

Chaetogonopteron chaeturum sp. n., belonging to an ancestral group in the
genus, is described and illustrated. It is an eurytopic species, mainly
found in humid, shaded areas. It is common and widespread in South Thailand
(found in 88% of the sampled localities at the end of the rainy season),
and it is also supposed to occur in the rest of Thailand, as evidenced
by observations in Central and Northeast Thailand.

Terpsimyia semicincta (BECKER, 1922) was re-discovered for the first time
since its description. It was found on the cliffs on the beach of Sam Roi
Yot National Park in the Gulf of Siam. A detailed re-description is given
and the species is classified now in the subfamily Diaphorinae. Instead
of having a single pair of ornamented legs, the male exhibits remarkable
secondary sexual characters on all three pairs of legs.

Benthic macroinvertebrate response to sedimentation in a Typha angustifolia
L. wetland.

Fiberglass mesh enclosures (1 X 1 m2) in a Typha angustifolia L. marsh
were employed to examine the effects of clay additions on the resident
macroinvertebrate communities. Total invertebrate density, insect density,
and number of insect families decreased significantly by 33%, 37%, and
17%, respectively, in enclosures receiving sediment. More specifically,
incoming clay adversely affected densities of Coleoptera larvae, Diptera
larvae, Megaloptera larvae, Odonata larvae, Pelecypoda, and Gastropoda.
Densities of specific families within the Diptera (larvae) and Coleoptera
were also affected; Dolichopodidae, Stratiomyidae, Hydrophilidae, Tabanidae,
Dytiscidae adults, and Scirtidae larvae decreased significantly in numbers
in sedimented enclosures. In contrast, the effect of sedimentation on Carabidae
(adults and larvae) and Dytiscidae larval densities varied significantly
with time, whereby densities were higher in the sedimented treatment only
for the initial two months of the study. Densities of predator-engulfer,
collector-filterer, and scraper feeding groups were reduced in sedimented
plots by 28%, 44%, and 27%, respectively. Significant short- and long-term
increases in turbidity and suspended solids in enclosures treated with
clay, as well as sediment deposition, were probably responsible for changes
in the invertebrate communities.

Three different rearing methods for predacious Diptera of genus Medetera
Fisher von Waldheim (Dolichopodidae), found in greenhouses in Lombardia
- Italy, are described. The first one is the modification of the method
already used to rear Coenosia Meigen (Diptera Muscidae). The others have
come from the necessity to resolve some questions arose during the test
and also to simplify much more the alimentary chain to make much more easy
an eventual mass rearing.

Diptera of the genus Medetera Fisher von Waldheim (Dolichopodidae) are
known chiefly for being forest species preying on Scolitidae (Coleoptera).
This research was carried out to better understand the polyphagy and predation
activity of the adults found for the first time in some greenhouses of
Lombardia (Italy). Many data about their ethology have been collected to
estimate their potentiality as beneficials in pest biological control in
such artificial environments.

Histological structure of cibarial pump and cephalic foregut in Asilomorpha
adults (Diptera). 5. Empididae and Dolichopodidae.
Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences,
Moscow, 117071; E-Mail: sevin@orc.ru, Russia
Zoologicheskii-Zhurnal. [print] February, 2002; 81 (2): 212-220.
URLJ: http://www.maik.rssi.ru/journals/zooeng.htm
Both Empididae and Dolichopodidae have a well-developed cibarial pump and
differ drastically from most Asilomorpha by the structure of the cephalic
foregut. In species of both families, a portion of the foregut, topographically
corresponding to the pharynx, is oesophagus-like: its intima is nonsclerotized,
thin and folded; lumen cross-section is rounded; epithelial and muscular
layers are well developed. A partial reduction or complete disappearance
of pharyngeal dilators occurs. In Empis, Hilara and Rhamphomyia (Empidudae),
pharyngeal dilators remain, but are weak. In Platypalpus (Tachydrominae)
and Dolichopus species they are absent. At the same time, degeneration
(up to disappearance) of pre- and postpharyngeal sphincters takes place.
The pharyngeal and oesophageal portions of the foregut in Platypalpus and
Dolichopus may be distinguished only by details of their wall structure.
The data obtained suggest that the type of the cephalic food canal characteristic
of all Cyclorrhapha originates already in higher Asilomorpha. "Disappearance"
of the pharynx is likely a result of its gradual likening to the oesophagus,
but not of its reduction.

Dolichopodid biodiversity and site quality assessment of reed marshes and
grasslands in Belgium (Diptera: Dolichopodidae).
Department of Entomology, Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences,
Vautierstraat 29, B-1000, Brussels, Belgium
Journal-of-Insect-Conservation. 2001 June; 5(2): 99-116
The conservation value of grassland and reed marsh habitats in Belgium
was determined on the basis of dolichopodid communities (Diptera: Dolichopodidae).
Four grassland and one reed marsh sites within the 'Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen'
Nature Reserve (B.O.) (Ghent) were sampled with white water traps from
March 1993 until March 1994. Subsequently, these soil faunas were compared
with those of reed marsh habitats in 'Het Meetjeslandse Krekengebied' (M.K.)
sampled in 1990. Comparisons of species communities were carried out by
means of multivariate analysis techniques. The DCA and CCA on the B.O.
sites produced a clear separation between the grassland and the reed marsh
communities. Light intensity and soil humidity were among the most important
factors determining species distributions. The comparison between the B.O.
and M.K. communities revealed that sampling sites were clustered according
to their geographical location rather than to habitat type. Overall species
richness and diversity was not significantly different between grasslands
and reed marshes. However, conservation quality estimates of the sites
using the Site Conservation Quality Index (SCQI) indicated that reed marshes
comprise a considerably larger number of rare and Red Data Book species.
Moreover, besides typical reed marsh-inhabiting species, reed marshes also
house species with other ecological affinities sometimes in rather high
abundance. As a result, reed marshes are considered highly valuable for
the survival of several wetland dolichopodid species.

An exercise in characterizing a habitat on the basis of its dolichopodid
community (Diptera Dolichopodidae).

Bulletin-de-la-Societe-Royale-Belge-d'Entomologie. [print] Juli-December,
2000; 136 (7-12): 185-191.
A habitat characterization was made by the first author on the basis of
samples of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) from an unknown habitat within "De
Oude Landen" Nature Reserve (Ekeren, Belgium) delivered by the second author.
This was subsequently matched to a habitat description also provided by
the second author. When considering only the most abundant species, it
was suggested that the habitat consisted of open as well as covered sites
with a very wet soil or pools in the latter. Taking into account the less
abundant but more stenotopic species as well, the sampling habitat could
be described as a mosaic of humid marshlands or reed marshes and canopied
habitats with open water showing muddy banks. The final comparison between
both descriptions revealed a considerable correspondence. Some aspects
of trapping methodology and entomological inventories are discussed.

Reproductive success of the introduced pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda
(L.) (Coleoptera, Scolytidae) on selected North American and European conifers.
Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, M5S 3B3, Canada
Proceedings-of-the-Entomological-Society-of-Ontario. 2000 December; 131:
113-121
The introduced pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.) (Coleoptera, Scolytidae),
constitutes a potential threat to commercially important native conifer
species. Reproductive success of the beetle was compared between its primary
host, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), three native pines, specifically
jack (P. banksiana Lamb.), red (P. resinosa Ait.), and white pine (P. strobus
L.), and two larch species, eastern larch (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch)
and European larch (L. decidua Mill.) using naturally infested trap logs
during 1997 and 1998. No female beetles initiated galleries on either larch
species. In contrast, red and jack pine were readily colonized by the parental
generation and produced large numbers of offspring. Greater numbers of
beetles were produced per m2 (mean[plus/minus]S.E.) on red pine (733.2[plus/minus]29.1
and 1410.9[plus/minus]49.8 offspring per m2) than on Scots pine (240.1[plus/minus]56.8
and 597.8[plus/minus]570.7 offspring per m2) in 1997 and 1998, respectively.
White pine was colonized by significantly fewer female beetles (110.5[plus/minus]28.6
galleries per m2) than was Scots pine (276.3[plus/minus]16.2 galleries
per m2), and low numbers of offspring were produced per m2 on white pine
(139.0[plus/minus]41.6 offspring per m2), suggesting that this pine is
less well suited for reproduction. Beetle emergence per gallery was high
on red pine (4.4[plus/minus]1.2 and 19.2[plus/minus]1.9 emergence holes/gallery
in 1997 and 1998, respectively) and jack pine (1.9[plus/minus]0.3 and 19.9[plus/minus]6.5
in 1997 and 1998, respectively). Parasitism by native hymenopterans and
predation by native dipterans differed significantly between the four pine
species, with high parasitism levels on jack pine in both years (25.3 and
14.9% in 1997 and 1998, respectively) and very low levels on red pine (less
than 2% in both years). Our work shows that T. piniperda readily colonizes
at least two native pine species and that these hosts can support the production
of a large number of offspring beetles, thus confirming previous North
American and European research. These results highlight the potential impact
of this exotic beetle on the future management of red and jack pine stands.

Eight species of Empidoidea (exclusive of Dolichopodidae) were represented
in samples from the Brandberg Massif including: Empis (Coptophlebia) spp.
1-2 (Empidinae), Drapetis spp. 1-3, Crossopalpus spp. 1-2, and Elaphropeza
sp. 1. (Tachydromiinae). Nearly all specimens were collected by Malaise
traps and five of eight species, including all Empidinae were collected
in April. All species collected in the Brandberg Biodiversity Survey are
undescribed.

Enchytraeidae as prey of Dolichopodidae, recent and in Baltic amber (Oligochaeta;
Diptera).
Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Adenauerallee
160, D-53113, Bonn, Germany
Bonner-Zoologische-Beitraege. [print] Dezember, 2001; 50 (1-2): 89-101.
A piece of Baltic amber with two inclusions, an enchytraeid worm fragment
and a dolichopodid fly, is described. The morphological account of the
enchytraeid fragment includes details on number, shape and distribution
of the chaetae. It is the first detailed description of an oligochaete
in Baltic amber. Field observations of recent Dolichopodidae preying on
Enchytraeidae are reported. The available evidence suggests that the fossil
worm fragment was carried into the resin by the fly as its prey. Thus,
this piece provides a fossil record of predation by Dolichopodidae on Enchytraeidae,
and points to a plausible explanation as to how the oligochaete worms found
as rare inclusions in Baltic amber could have been trapped in the resin.

A taxonomic and biogeographic review of the invertebrates of the Central
Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia (CERRA) World Heritage Area, and
adjacent regions.
Department of Entomology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney,
NSW 2010, Australia
Technical-Reports-of-the-Australian-Museum. 2002; 16: 1-208
The Gondwanan World Heritage rainforests of Australia's subtropics support
an invertebrate biota that reflects diverse evolutionary histories. A high
proportion of the fauna is identifiably autochthonous in origin. Four major
generalizations, as to the invertebrate "values" of the Central Eastern
Rainforest Reserves of Australia (CERRA) World Heritage Area, can be derived
from the taxonomic and biogeographic information acquired during this project:
(a) The CERRA region, loosely defined as that area extending from the Barrington
Tops, northern New South Wales, to southeast Queensland, is a significant
zoogeographic refugium in terms of the evolution of Australian invertebrate
taxa. Examples occur extensively within the taxa listed in Appendix 1 and
are discussed in the Overview. Particular examples are the terrestrial
snail family Charopidae, the freshwater snail family Hydrobiidae, the beetle
taxa Adeliini, Cyphaleini, Coprini, Denticollinae, Rutelinae, Melolonthinae,
Lucanidae, flightless beetles in the family Carabidae, the fly family Drosophilidae
and dolichopodid subfamily Sciapodinae, parastacid crayfish, aradid bugs,
the Onychophoran family Peripatopsidae and mygalomoph spiders. (b) The
CERRA region includes a high proportion of taxa with "Gondwanan" or "Old
Southerr Endemic" affiliations. This group includes taxa with relatives
on other Gondwanan landmasses such as South America, Africa and the Indian
subcontinent, and those restricted to Australasia. Some taxa art restricted
to Australia but with close relatives in either New Caledonia or New Zealand,
but not both Within known ranges, individual taxa can be widespread or
relictual. Examples of "southern" fauna exist across all taxonomic
levels-from species to that of subphylum. Notable higher taxonomic rank
examples are the megascolecid earthworms, mygalomorph and amphectid spiders,
harvestmen in the family Acropsopilionidae, the mite family Pheroliodidae,
and the terrestrial snail families Athoracophoridae, Charopidae, Cystopeltidae
and Rhytididae. The insects are well represented, and include the beetle
family Phloeostichidae and tribes Pamborini, Migadopini, Adeliini, Epistomentini
and Stigmoderini, flies in the family Pelecorhynchidae, the subfamily Arachnocampinae
and the tribe Pangoniini, the moth families Hepialidae and Micropterigidae,
the "birdwing" butterfly genus Ornithoptera, the hemipteran bug families
Idiostolidae and Peloridiidae, the neuropteran lacewing subfamilies Kempyninae
and Stenosmylinae, ambositrine and hyptiogastrine wasps, and the plecopteran
families Austroperlidae, Eustheniidae and Gripopterygidae. (c) There is
a substantial level of endemism within the fauna. This is very high at
the species and genus level, and many of these are currently known only
from single localities or from geographically restricted ranges within
the CERRA region. Instances of generic and species endemism are particularly
high in the snail families Hydrobiidae and Charopidae, the earthworm family
Megascolecidae, the crayfish family Parastacidae, the subphylum Onychophora,
and the spider suborder Mygalomorphae. Examples within the insects are
the fly families Dolichopodidae, Platystomatidae, Exeretonevridae,Pelecorhynchidae
and Tipulidae, the beetle tribes Onthophagini and Scarabaeini, the beetle
family Carabidae and subfamily Melolonthinae, australembiid webspinners,
cicadelloid and mezirine Hemiptera, oechophorine moths, and the lacewing
family Hemerobiidae and the subfamily Kempyninae. The beetle family Rhinorhipidae,
and the mite family Platyameridae, are restricted to the CERRA region.
(d) Significant invertebrate heritage values are not restricted to taxa
inhabiting rainforest vegetation. The intervening matrix of sclerophyll
forests, and more rarely woodlands, shrub, heath and swamp complexes, and
associated freshwater ecosystems, sustain distinctive non-rainforest invertebrate
heritage values. Important higher taxa inhabiting these ecosystems are
ruteline "Christmas beetles" in the tribe Anoplognathini, the family Elateridae,
the speciose buprestid genus Castiarina, the tenebrionid tribe Heleini,
the fly genera Pelecorhynchus and Trichophthalma, and athoracophorid, helicarionid
andglacidorbid snails. Limestone outcrops are important focal points of
terrestrial snail endemism and diversity. Cave systems are important for
the conservation of associated, often endemic or localized, arachnid and
insect faunas.
