A new species, Neodexiopsis hirsuta sp. nov. (Diptera, Muscidae), from Palmas, Parana, Brazil, is described and illustrated here. The proboscis and male terminalia are described using ultrastructural morphology. This new species resembles a member of the Scathophagidae, although the male terminalia have a typical Coenosiini morphology. The maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (IB) molecular analyses of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences for the new species, along with those for four other species of Neodexiopsis found in the same locality and two sequences from GenBank were carried out. The molecular analyses indicated N. hirsuta sp. nov. as closely related to Neodexiopsis rava Snyder, 1957 and Neodexiopsis paulistensis Albuquerque, 1956. N. hirsuta sp. nov. and N. rava are now included in the available Brazilian species key to the genus. The distribution data of the Neodexiopsis species from Brazil has been improved by including N. rava as a new record to Brazil.

The male genital and pregenital skeleton and musculature were studied in males of the following species of the Muscidae subfamily Azeliinae: Drymeia firthiana (Huckett, 1965), Drymeia longiseta Sorokina & Pont, 2015, Drymeia segnis (Holmgren, 1883), Thricops nigritellus (Zetterstedt, 1838), Thricops hirtulus (Zetterstedt, 1838), Hydrotaea dentipes (Fabricius, 1805), Muscina stabulans (Fallén, 1817), and Muscina levida (Harris, 1780). Descriptions and figures of the genital sclerites and muscles of D. firthiana and M. stabulans are given. A comparison was made between the genital segments and muscles of previously studied species of Mydaeinae and Muscinae and those of the Azeliinae. Based on the structure of the skeleton and muscles of syntergosternite VII + VIII and the phallapodeme muscles, significant differences were found between the subfamily Azeliinae and the subfamilies Mydaeinae and Muscinae. The basal position of the Azeliinae within the family Muscidae was confirmed. A comparison of the genital segments and muscles of the Muscidae with those of the Scathophagidae (Scathophaga stercoraria (Linnaeus, 1758)) and Anthomyiidae (Delia platura (Meigen, 1826)) was made. Tendencies in reduction of the pregenital segments and musculature, as well as of the phallapodeme muscles in the evolution of the Muscoidea have been revealed. The complete set of phallapodeme muscles in the Scathophagidae and Anthomyiidae corresponds to the basal state, and therefore the structure of the genital sclerites and muscles in the Muscidae shows a certain degree of reduction. The progressive changes in the Muscidae from the Azeliinae through the Mydaeinae to the Muscinae were traced.

A new species Coniosternum matiseki nov.sp. from Iran is described and compared with the rest of the species in the Palaearctic Region. Refereed/Peer-reviewed Version of record

A checklist is presented of all 986 extant species of Diptera known from the archipelago of the Maltese Islands situated in the central Mediterranean. Species considered to be alien to the Islands are listed with annotations in Appendix 1. The history of dipterology applicable to the islands is outlined and the three important historical published records by Zetterstedt, Rondani and Bezzi & de Stefani-Perez are listed in Appendices 2–4. Species names that are synonyms are indicated where these were used in published records for Malta more or less after the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera was published. Species we consider to have been misidentifications are also indicated with an annotation in most cases. Vermileo immaculatus Carles-Tolrá syn. n. & Cuesta-Segura and Vermileo balearicus Wheeler syn. n. are proposed junior synonyms of Vermileo vermileo (Linnaeus).

The Fennoscandian species of the genus Gimnomera Rondani, 1867 were studied and a new species, G. freyi, is described. A new subgenus, Ozerovia, is established for Gimnomera albipila (Zetterstedt, 1846). Gimnomera albipila (Zetterstedt, 1846) is redescribed and a lectotype is designated for it. An identification key for the Fennoscandian species of Gimnomera is given.

The structure of the abdominal and pregenital segments and genitalia was studied in males of Mydaea urbana (Meigen, 1826) and Graphomya maculata (Scopoli, 1763) (Muscidae, Mydaeinae). Reduction tendencies were revealed in the pregenital segments and musculature in Muscinae as compared with Mydaeinae, and also in the genitalia of Muscidae as compared with Scathophagidae (Scathophaga stercoraria). The genus Graphomya was found to be similar to Mydaea but different from the tribe Muscini in the characters of the sclerites and muscles of the male genitalia and pregenital segments; this confirms the position of Graphomya in the subfamily Mydaeinae.

SummaryThe validity of Ceratinostoma nudiseta Becker, 1907 (Diptera, Scathophagidae) is discussed, and the species is transferred to the genus Spilogona of the family Muscidae. A redescription and ...

Scathophagidae This family contains 417 predominantly Holarctic species (Marshall 2012, Evenhuis & Pape 2020). Rondani (1856, 1863, 1866b) described nine Palaearctic and one Nearctic nominal species: of these ten, eight appear in his paper on Italian “ Stirps Scatophaginae ” (1866b). Four species are considered as valid, four as junior synonyms and two as doubtful (Aldrich 1905, Gorodkov 1986, Gorodkov et al., 1995, Šifner 2003, Evenhuis & Pape 2020). Except for the type material of Scatina estotilandica —which is presumed lost—and additional syntypes in the MZUB (one) and in the OUMNH (one), the type material has been recovered for all nominal species and is in the MZUF., Published as part of Sforzi, Alessandra & Sommaggio, Daniele, 2021, Catalog of the Diptera types described by Camillo Rondani, pp. 1-438 in Zootaxa 4989 (1) on page 212, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4980621, {"references":["Marshall, S.

Scatina fluvialis Rondani, 1866 ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1866b: 28 (key), 29 (description) [1867b: 112 (key), 113 (description)]. TYPE LOCALITY: “ in planitie parmensi [Parmese plains (Italy)]”.

REMARKS: Rondani (1866b: 29) described Scatina fluvialis without specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens, publishing the species first in a separate (1866b) and then in the journal version (1867b). We found five specimens under the name Scatina fluvialis in this study (two males and two females in the MZUF and one male in the OUMNH). There are two MZUF females labeled “ Ital. Mer., Parma [= southern Italy, Parma]” but, as the type locality is “ Parma ”, one of them does not belong to the type series. We are unable to single out which of the two was collected on the Parmese plains. We leave the recognition of this latter syntype to a future specialist. An additional two males and one female in the MZUF, all numbered “1439”, are not included in the type series because their labels are yellowish rather than the greenish color of Rondani’s original handwritten ones and are in a lower row in the Box, for which reason we treat them to be subsequent additions., Published as part of Sforzi, Alessandra & Sommaggio, Daniele, 2021, Catalog of the Diptera types described by Camillo Rondani, pp. 1-438 in Zootaxa 4989 (1) on page 214, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4989.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4980621, {"references":["Gorodkov, K.
