Taxon Description

Desmometopa sordida (Fallen, 1820)

Edited by Irina Brake on Fri, 2011-04-08 09:49

Diagnostic Description

Entirely black or dark brown, including knob of halter; cheek with distinct subocular crescent (Sabrosky 1983)

Taxon Biology

Larvae are saprophagous and coprophagous. Adults visit Apiaceae flowers and adult females are kleptoparasitic on spiders or predaceous insects. The prey are usually honey bees but sometimes also other insects.

In Greece specimens were collected in June/July with Malaise traps as well as Quercus and Ostyra tree banana traps; 40-905 m.

In the Netherlands specimens were collected in August in a beer trap in an oak tree at 4 m height.

Distribution

Widespread in North America and Palaearctic Region

The Milichiidae from 'De Kaaistoep', The Netherlands

Edited by Irina Brake on Thu, 2011-04-21 14:26

Introduction

The Milichiidae fauna of the Netherlands is quite well known due to early collectors like De Meijere and currently activ collectors like Jan Willem van Zuijlen. In the checklist for the Netherlands (Beuk 2002) nine valid species are listed and two nomina dubia . The only recent paper on the milichiid fauna of the Netherlands is by Beuk & Brake (1996).

Milichiidae of the Lake Kerkini region in Greece

Edited by Irina Brake on Mon, 2010-11-15 09:50

Introduction

The Milichiidae fauna of Greece is virtually unknown, with only Desmometopa m-nigrum, Leptometopa rufifrons and Milichia pubescens (Brake 2000) recorded. However, thanks to the efforts of Gordon Ramel, who maintained several Malaise as well as other traps near Lake Kerkini in northern Greece, close to the border to Bulgaria, this has now changed. Sadly the first parcel with specimens sent to me was lost, so that the absence of data for some traps and times as well as the low numbers in some traps are not necessarily reflecting the original collection.
