Bruchomyiinae
The subfamily Bruchomyiinae contains genera of moth flies in the order Diptera, was originally described by the American entomologist Charles Paul Alexander. Circumscription For many years the Bruchomyiinae consisted of just three genera, distinguished by the number of segments in the antennae: ''Bruchomyia'' (24-29 segments), ''Eutonnoiria'' (111 segments) and ''Nemopalpus'' (14 segments). A number of species of the cosmopolitan genus ''Nemopalpus'' were transferred in 2016, to the genera: ''Boreofairchildia'', '' Laurenceomyia'' and '' Notofairchildia'', with oriental species subsequently (2018) placed in ''Alexanderia''. Genera ''Systema Dipterorum'' currently includes: *'''' [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Psychodidae
Psychodidae, called drain flies, sink flies, filter flies, sewer flies, or sewer gnats, is a family of true flies. Some genera have short, hairy bodies and wings giving them a "furry" moth-like appearance, hence one of their common names, moth flies. Members of the sub-family Phlebotominae which are hematophagous (feed on blood) may be called sand flies in some countries, although this term is also used for other unrelated flies. There are more than 2,600 described species worldwide, most of them native to the humid tropics. This makes them one of the most diverse families of their order. Drain flies sometimes inhabit plumbing drains and sewage systems, where they are harmless, but may be a persistent annoyance. Life cycle The larvae of the subfamilies Psychodinae, Sycoracinae and Horaiellinae live in aquatic to semi-terrestrial or sludge-based habitats, including bathroom sinks, where they feed on bacteria and can become problematic. The larvae of the most commonly encou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nemopalpus
''Nemopalpus'' is a genus of moth fly in the family Psychodidae, in the subfamily Bruchomyiinae.

Brian Roy Stuckenberg
Brian Roy Stuckenberg (1930–2009) was a South African entomologist who specialised in Diptera. Stuckenberg was of Danish descent, his great uncle was the poet Viggo Stuckenberg. Stuckenberg was head of Entomology at the Natal Museum (now KwaZulu-Natal museum) in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. He became Africa’s leading dipterist, building one of the largest collections of Afrotropical flies in the world. He wrote over 100 publications., ''African Invertebrates'' Vol. 53 (1) Pages 1–34 Pietermaritzburg June, 2012 includes bibliography. including the sections on the families [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Paul Alexander
Charles Paul Alexander (September 25, 1889, Gloversville, New York - December 3, 1981) was an American entomologist who specialized in the craneflies, Tipulidae. Charles Paul Alexander was the son of Emil Alexander and Jane Alexander (née Parker). Emil (the father) immigrated to the United States in 1873 and changed his surname from Schlandensky to Alexander. Charles entered Cornell University in 1909, earning a Bachelor of Science in 1913 and a Ph.D. in 1918. Between 1917 and 1919, he was entomologist at the University of Kansas, then from 1919 to 1922, at the University of Illinois. He then became professor of entomology at Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst. He studied Diptera, especially in the family Tipulidae. He described over 11,000 species and genera of flies, which translates to approximately a species description a day for his entire career. In 1920, C.P. Alexander became a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America. Works Partial list A synopsis of pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aedeagus
An aedeagus (plural aedeagi) is a reproductive organ of male arthropods through which they secrete sperm from the testes during copulation with a female. It can be thought of as the insect equivalent of a mammal's penis, though the comparison is fairly loose given the greater complexity of insect reproduction. The term is derived from Ancient Greek αἰδοῖα (''aidoia'', "private parts") and ἀγός (''agos'', "leader"). It is pronounced or . The aedeagus is part of the male's abdomen, which is the hindmost of the three major body sections of an insect. The pair of testes of the insect are connected to the aedeagus through the genital ducts. The aedeagus is part of the male insect's phallus, a complex and often species-specific arrangement of more or less sclerotized (hardened) flaps and hooks which also includes in some species the valvae (clasper), which are paired organs which help the male hold on to the female during copulation. During copulation, the aedeagus co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
