Brachyanax
''Brachyanax'' is a genus of bee fly in the subfamily Anthracinae. It was circumscribed by Neal Evenhuis in 1981. Thirteen species are recognized, and they are found in Asia and Australasia. Taxonomic history The American entomologist Neal Evenhuis created the genus in a 1981 paper in ''Pacific Insects''. His initial circumscription included eleven species. Four species had first been described in the genus ''Anthrax''; Evenhuis described the other seven species in his initial circumscription. Evenhuis and Junichi Yukawa described an additional new species in 1986. Further changes to the list of species in ''Brachyanax'' occurred in 1988 and 1999. The generic name ''Brachyanax'' comes from the Greek (''brakhús''; "small, short") and ('' ánax''; "lord, master, general-in-chief"). The specific epithet of the type species, ''thelestrephones'', comes from the Greek (''thēlḗ''; "nipple") and (''stréphō''; "twist"). This led to the American entomologist Arnold Menke includi ...

Anthrax (fly)
''Anthrax'' is a genus of Bombyliidae, bombyliid Fly, flies, commonly known as "bee-flies" due to their resemblance to bees. Most are dull black flies, and are usually small to medium in size, , and many species have striking wing patterns. ''Anthrax'' is a very large genus. While worldwide in distribution, most species are from the Palearctic realm, Palaearctic and Afrotropical realm, Afrotropic regions. The genus includes species Parasitism, parasitic on tiger beetles – an unusual trait among the bee-flies. ''A. anthrax'' larvae parasitize bees. Many North American species parasitize Wasps#Solitary wasps, solitary wasps. The type species is ''Hemipenthes morio, Musca morio'' Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus, 10th edition of Systema Naturae, 1758, later found to be a misidentification of ''Musca anthrax'' Franz Paula von Schrank, Schrank, 1781.

Xenox

Bombyliidae
The Bombyliidae are a family of flies, commonly known as bee flies. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators. Larvae are mostly parasitoids of other insects. Overview The Bombyliidae are a large family of flies comprising hundreds of genera, but the life cycles of most species are known poorly, or not at all. They range in size from very small (2 mm in length) to very large for flies (wingspan of some 40 mm).Hull, Frank Montgomery, Bee flies of the world: the genera of the family Bombyliidae Washington, Smithsonian Institution Press 1973 .

Pierre-Justin-Marie Macquart
Pierre-Justin-Marie Macquart (8 April 1778 – 25 November 1855) was a French entomologist specialising in the study of Diptera. He worked on world species as well as European and described many new species. Biography Early years Macquart was born in Hazebrouck, France, in 1778 and died in Lille in 1855. He was interested in natural history from an early age due to his older brother who was an ornithologist and a Fellow of the Société de Sciences de l’Agriculture et des Arts de la Ville de Lille and whose bird collection became the foundation of the societies museum, the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle de Lille. A second brother founded a botanic garden with a collection of over 3000 species of plants. Macquart, too became interested in natural history. In 1796 he joined the staff of General Armand Samuel then campaigning in the French Revolutionary Wars: Campaigns of 1796, Revolutionary Wars. He was a secretary and draftsman. The general staff was stationed in Schwetzingen, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
