Parathalassiinae
Parathalassiinae is a subfamily of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is part of an extended concept of the family, Dolichopodidae ''sensu lato'', and forms a monophyletic group with Dolichopodidae ''sensu stricto''. It was once placed provisionally in the subfamily Microphorinae as the tribe Parathalassiini. According to Germann ''et al.'' (2011), there is strong evidence for placing Parathalassiinae within Dolichopodidae ''sensu stricto''. Genera The subfamily currently includes 12 genera: *'' Amphithalassius'' Ulrich, 1991 *†'' Archichrysotus'' Negrobov, 1978 *'' Chimerothalassius'' Shamshev & Grootaert, 2003 *†'' Cretomicrophorus'' Negrobov, 1978 *†'' Electrophorella'' Cumming & Brooks, 2002 *'' Eothalassius'' Shamshev & Grootaert, 2005 *'' Microphorella'' Becker Becker () is one of the German-language surnames, along with Bäcker and Baecker, that derive from the root, which refers to baking.

Upper Cretaceous
The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the younger of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale. Rock strata from this epoch form the Upper Cretaceous Series. The Cretaceous is named after ''creta'', the Latin word for the white limestone known as chalk. The chalk of northern France and the white cliffs of south-eastern England date from the Cretaceous Period. Climate During the Late Cretaceous, the climate was warmer than present, although throughout the period a cooling trend is evident. The tropics became restricted to equatorial regions and northern latitudes experienced markedly more seasonal climatic conditions. Geography Due to plate tectonics, the Americas were gradually moving westward, causing the Atlantic Ocean to expand. The Western Interior Seaway divided North America into eastern and western halves; Appalachia and Laramidia. India maintained a northward course towards Asia. In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and Anta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Microphor
''Microphor'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae, subfamily Microphorinae. Species At least 16 extant species are described in the genus, with nine from the Palaearctic realm, one from the Oriental realm, and five from the Nearctic realm. Three fossil species have also been described. There are also several undescribed species from the sub-Mediterranean region of Europe and Turkey, and one undescribed species from the Neotropical realm. One species from the Australasian realm, '' Microphor hiemalis'', has also been described, but it does not appear to be cogeneric and may not belong in the subfamily Microphorinae. * '' Microphor anomalus'' ( Meigen, 1824) * '' Microphor bilineatus'' ( Melander, 1902) * '' Microphor crassipes'' Macquart, 1827 * †'' Microphor defunctus'' Handlirsch, 1910 * '' Microphor discalis'' Melander, 1940 * †'' Microphor eocenica'' (Meunier, 1902) * '' Microphor gissaricus'' Shamshev, 1992 * '' Microphor hiemalis'' White, 1916 * ''Microph ...

Dolichopodidae Genera
Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, cosmopolitan family of true flies with more than 7,000 described species in about 230 genera. The genus ''Dolichopus'' is the most speciose, with some 600 species. Dolichopodidae generally are small flies with large, prominent eyes and a metallic cast to their appearance, though there is considerable variation among the species. Most have long legs, though some do not. In many species, the males have unusually large genitalia which are taxonomically useful in identifying species. Most adults are predatory on other small animals, though some may scavenge or act as kleptoparasites of spiders or other predators. An expanded concept of the family (Dolichopodidae ''sensu lato'') includes the subfamilies Parathalassiinae and Microphorinae. The latter of these was formerly placed in the Empididae, and was at one time considered a separate family (Microphoridae). However, some authors propose instead that Dolichopodidae ''s.l.'' shou ...

Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...
