TL;DR: A gregarious leaf‐mining fly attacking Rumex sp.
Abstract: .
1
Pegomya nigritarsis Zetterstedt is a gregarious leaf-mining fly attacking Rumex sp. The larvae from one clutch of eggs all inhabit the same mine.
2
Egg-batch size varies between host plants and is correlated with leaf size.
3
On Rumex obtusifolius L. larval survival as a function of clutch size was measured in the field. This measure was incorporated in an optimal clutch size model and a clutch size prediction obtained.
4
The predicted optimal clutch size, three, is that most frequently found in the field.

TL;DR: This paper deals with the 185 new species-group taxa that P. M. Macquart described in the dipteran families Fanniidae, Anrfiomyiidae and Muscidae, together with a further 5 species- groupTaxa that belong to other families, 9 replacement names that he proposed, and 1 nomen nudum.
Abstract: This paper deals with the 185 new species-group taxa that P. J. M. Macquart described in the dipteran families Fanniidae, Anrfiomyiidae and Muscidae, together with a further 5 species-group taxa that belong to other families, 9 replacement names that he proposed, and 1 nomen nudum. Notes are provided on the Diptera collections on which Macquart worked. In the Fanniidae, there are 8 species (and 1 replacement name), in Anthomyiidae, 33 species (and 4 replacement names), and in Muscidae, 144 species (and 4 replacement names). 85 lectotypes are newly designated in order to fix the identity of the names. The following new synonyms are proposed: in Anthomyiidae: Chortophila angusta Macquart, 1835 = Botanophila striolata (Fallen, 1824); Pegomyia basilaris Macquart, 1835 = Pegomya solennis (Meigen, 1826); Anthomyia brunnipennis Macquart, 1835, and Anthomyia fuscipennis Macquart, 1835 = Pegoplata aestiva (Meigen, 1826); Hylemyia caesia Macquart, 1835 = Anthomyia liturata (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830); Chorto...

Abstract: The Anthomyiidae (root-maggot flies) of the Canaries are revised. Altogether 24 species in 9 genera are recorded. Four species are described as new, viz. Pegomya canariensis, Anthomyia confusanea, Leucophora canariensis and L. subsponsa. In addition, Pegomya lateropunctata sp. n. is described from Madeira. Pegomya suaedivora Hering (type locality: France) is synonymized with P. suaedae Hering (syn. n.). Delia cilitarsis Hennig is regarded a distinct species, not a subspecies of D. platura (Meigen). A key to males and females is provided. Local distribution of the species, both ecological and geographical, is considered, and the anthomyiid fauna of the other Macaronesian archipelagos is reviewed. The origin of the Canarian anthomyiid fauna is discussed. The species all seem to be descended from the fauna of the Mediterranean subregion and can be regarded either as (1) introduced, (2) indigenous, or (3) endemic to the Canaries. Apparently endemic Canarian species are Pegomya canariensis sp. n., P. vittithorax (Stein), Hylemya latevittata Stein, Leucophora canariensis sp. n., Delia canariensis Hennig and D. cilitarsis Hennig.
TL;DR: Ten Japanese species of Anthomyiidae belonging to Botanophila and Pegomya are dealt with, and 3 species, B. trifida, are described as new to science, and 6 others, including B. son chi (Hardy) is confirmed to occur in Japan.
Abstract: SUWA, M. 1986. Supplementary notes on the family Anthomyiidae of Japan (Dip tera), IV. Ins. matsum. n. s. 34: 35-52, 65 figs. Ten Japanese species of Anthomyiidae belonging to Botanophila and Pegomya are dealt with. Of them 3 species, B. nigrodorsata (= Pegohylemyia gnava (Meigen) sensu Suwa, 1974), B. tridenti/era (=Pegohylemyia dziedzickii Seguy sensu Suwa, 1974) and B. trifida, are described as new to science, and 6 others, B. fugax (Meigen), B. lobata (Collin), B. dissecta (Meigen), B. rubnfrons (Ringdahl), P. rufina (Fallen) and P. meridiana (Vil leneuve), are recorded as new to Japan. B. son chi (Hardy) is confirmed to occur in Japan. Author's address. Entomological Institute, Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido Uni versity, Sapporo, 060 Japan.
