Baby Killers: Documentation and Evolution of Scuttle Fly (Diptera: Phoridae) Parasitism of Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Brood
BACKGROUND Numerous well-documented associations occur among species of scuttle flies (Diptera: Phoridae) and ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), but examples of brood parasitism are rare and the mechanisms of parasitism often remain unsubstantiated. NEW INFORMATION We present two video-documented examples of ant brood (larvae and pupae) parasitism by scuttle flies. In footage from Estação Biológ...

متن کاملPhenology and Dispersal in Pseudacteon Flies (Diptera: Phoridae), Parasitoids of Solenopsis Fire Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
The phenology and dispersal abilities of Pseudacteon phorid ßies, parasitoids of Solenopsis Þre ants, were measured at multiple sites over several years. Four Pseudacteon species [P. browni Disney, P. spatulatus (Malloch), P. crawfordi Coquillett, and an undescribed species, P. sp. A.] were found in the vicinity of 5 S. geminata (F.) populations over a 3-yr period. P. browni was the most common...
متن کاملThe Afrotropical ponerine ant genus Asphinctopone Santschi (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
The Afrotropical ponerine ant genus Asphinctopone is revised. Two species are recognised, of which one (differens) is described as new, and two names are established as new junior synonyms of the type-species silvestrii (lucidus and lamottei). A new diagnosis of the genus is presented, based on the female castes (male remains unknown) and critical morphological characters are discussed.
