Toxomerini
The Syrphini are a tribe of hoverflies. List of genera Relationships within this tribe were investigated by analysing and comparing genetic data. Results seem to show the members of Syrphini fall into several smaller groups or clades. *''Afrosyrphus'' Curran, 1927 *'' Agnisyrphus'' Ghorpade, 1994 *'' Allobacha'' Curran, 1928 *'' Allograpta'' Osten Sacken, 1875.

Syrphus Ribesii
''Syrphus ribesii'' is a very common Holarctic species of hoverfly. Its larvae feed on aphids. In common with many other species of hoverfly, males have the eyes meeting on the top of the head, whilst females have their eyes widely separated. Description Adults are very similar in appearance to ''Syrphus vitripennis'' and '' Syrphus torvus''. Females are distinguished from the former by having entirely yellow femora, and from the latter by having no hairs present in their eyes. Males also have bare eyes, unlike ''S. torvus'', but are extremely similar to ''S. vitripennis'', differing only in having some black hairs present on the hind femur and in having the second basal cell of the wing entirely covered by microtrichia. The male genitalia and the larva have been described. Frons is posterior to the lunulae, shiny black. Sternites have lateral and median black marks. Male femora 3 is black for basal 2/3. Femora 3 is yellow. Lateral margins of tergites are black except at th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Enrico Adelelmo Brunetti
Enrico Adelelmo Brunetti (22 May 1862 – 21 January 1927) was a British musician and entomologist. He specialized in the Diptera and worked for many years in India. Brunetti was born in London. His mother was from Bath, Somersetshire and his father, of Italian origin came from Fossombrone, Rome, was a confectioner and importer of wines who ran a restaurant in South Kensington. From a young age, Brunetti showed interest in music composition and was trained by Giacomo Ferrari and Enrico Mattei. A musician by profession, Brunetti was a composer for orchestra and piano. He played piano at the Empire, Islington around 1901 and in bands at Plymouth and Llandrindod Wells around 1902 and was a bandmaster in 1903 at Harwich. He went to India as a musical conductor for Tivoli Theatre in Calcutta and for sometime worked with Bandman Opera Company travelling to Singapore and Java. He spent his free time studying entomology, especially Diptera. In 1904 he made a musical tour of the Dutch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Günther Enderlein
Günther Enderlein (7 July 1872 – 11 August 1968) was a German zoologist, entomologist, microbiologist, researcher, physician for 60 years, and later a manufacturer of pharmaceutical products. Enderlein received international renown for his insect research, and in Germany became famous due to his concept of the pleomorphism of microorganisms and his hypotheses about the origins of cancer, based on the work of other scientists. His hypotheses about pleomorphism and cancer have now been disproved by science and have only some historical importance today . Some of his concepts, however, are still popular in alternative medicine. A blood test is named after him: ''dark field microscopy according to Enderlein''. Life Enderlein was born in Leipzig, the son of a teacher. He studied in Leipzig and Berlin and got his PhD in 1898 as a zoologist. He became professor in 1924. First he worked as assistant at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, and went later to Stettin, now Szczecin in Po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dasysyrphus
''Dasysyrphus'' is a genus of hover flies with 50 identified species distributed worldwide (see distribution map). While the genus is relatively easy to identify genera key the differences between species have a more narrow range of variations. Therefore, identification of species by images of specimens alone should be made with care. (See available keys below) Larvae The known larvae are mostly tree dwelling on both conifers and deciduous trees. They feed on aphids and other small Hemiptera resting in the daytime. This nocturnal habit, plus the camouflage coloration of the larvae may account for the lack of larval reports for this genus.

Johann Wilhelm Meigen
Johann Wilhelm Meigen (3 May 1764 – 11 July 1845) was a German entomologist famous for his pioneering work on Diptera. Life Early years Meigen was born in Solingen, the fifth of eight children of Johann Clemens Meigen and Sibylla Margaretha Bick. His parents, though not poor, were not wealthy either. They ran a small shop in Solingen. His paternal grandparents, however, owned an estate and hamlet with twenty houses. Adding to the rental income, Meigen's grandfather was a farmer and a guild mastercutler in Solingen. Two years after Meigen was born, his grandparents died and his parents moved to the family estate. This was already heavily indebted by the Seven Years' War, then bad crops and rash speculations forced the sale of the farm and the family moved back to Solingen. Meigen attended the town school but only for a short time. He had learned to read and write on his grandfather's estate and he read widely at home as well as taking an interest in natural history.

Chrysotoxum
thumbnail, Female '' Chrysotoxum bicinctum'' The genus ''Chrysotoxum'' (Meigen, 1803) consists of large, wasp-mimicking species. The adults are distinguished by very long antennae, oval abdomen with yellow stripes, and yellow patterns on the thoracic pleurae (sides of the thorax). The species of ''Chrysotoxum'' are chiefly Holarctic in distribution. . The species in this genus, , are mostly very uniform in structure and colour and are separated with difficulty. Larvae are specialized in preying upon root aphids associated with ant nests .
