About two species of the genera Tetanops ed Herina (Diptera Acalyptera Ulididae Otitinae) - Diptera captured by means two Malaise traps from a little marsh, known as \“Paludetto\”, and from a sandy dune, in marine shore of Park-Uccellina, are examined. In \“Paludetto\” there is predominance of blood-sucking Diptera (Culicidae, Ceratopogonidae, Tabanidae, Muscidae, Stomoxydinae), Diptera parassitoid on Mollusca (Sciomyzidae) or phytophagous (Cloropidae and Tephritidae). In sandy-dune there are Diptera of arid environments (Asilidae, Bombilidae, Conopidae, Milichidae) and some species of subfamily Otitinae: Herina scutellaris, Herina oscillans and Tetanops contarinii. Of these three, the last only may be regarded as a thalassobiont. T. contarinii compared with three other species of the same genus, for its morphology (tube-shaped spermathecae) and ecology (thalassobiont-psammophilous) may be regarded as a southern vicariant of Tetanops myopina of marine shores of north-central Europe.LEpt

Synthetic male lures are commonly used to monitor and mass trap pestiferous fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacinae). However, there has been much dispute as to the nontarget impacts of such lures on beneficial and native insects. To evaluate nontarget attraction effects, traps baited with Cue-Lure and methyl eugenol were maintained and emptied weekly in a range of native and non-native forest and commercial orchard and backyard sites on Hawaii and Maui Islands. Lure trap captures were compared against those from unbaited control traps and traps artificially baited with decaying fruit flies to mimic the effect of accumulation of dead trapped target flies in male lure traps. Cue-Lure did not attract nontargets, and methyl eugenol attracted low but significant numbers of five species of \ßower-associated insects (honey bees, syrphid flies, nitidulid beetles, and endemic crambid moths) and two endemic Hawaiian species of sciarids (Diptera) and mirids (Hemiptera). Saprophagous nontargets, mostly Diptera, were abundant and diverse in traps baited with decaying flies and in male lure traps where accumulation of dead flies occurred but not in male lure traps with few or no fruit fly captures. Most of the previously published records of attraction to methyl eugenol are shown to actually be secondary attraction to decaying fruit flies. Endemic nontargets were collected in native and adjacent forest, but almost exclusively invasive species were attracted to traps placed in non-native habitats. Attraction of flower-associated species may be minimized if methyl eugenol traps are placed in trees after \ßowering season in orchards.

Mites are involved in the decomposition of animal carcases and human corpses at every stage. From initial decay at the fresh stage until dry decomposition at the skeletal stage, a huge diversity of Acari, including members of the Mesostigmata, Prostigmata, Astigmata, Endeostigmata, Oribatida and Ixodida, are an integral part of the constantly changing food webs on, in and beneath the carrion. During the desiccation stage in wave 6 of M\égnin\’s system, mites can become the dominant fauna on the decomposing body. Under conditions unfavourable for the colonisation of insects, such as concealment, low temperature or mummification, mites might become the most important or even the only arthropods on a dead body. Some mite species will be represented by a few specimens, whereas others might build up in numbers to several million individuals. Astigmata are most prominent in numbers and Mesostigmata in diversity. More than 100 mite species and over 60 mite families were collected from animal carcases, and around 75 species and over 20 families from human corpses.
