Phylogenomics of Anthomyiidae and a revised classification of Scathophagidae (Diptera: Calyptratae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Family Anthomyiidae is revised using a broad sampling of genera, including the Neotropical Coenosopsia and Phaonantho, which are recovered as Coenosopsiinae Bailey & Michelsen (subfam. nov.). The former family Scathophagidae is recovered within the family Anthomyiidae with strong support and relegated to subfamily rank as Scathophaginae (stat.

Quill Mites Parasitising African Shrikes: New Host Records and Distributional Insights Into Host and Habitat Specificity

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Quill mites of the family Syringophilidae are permanent ectoparasites inhabiting the lumen of avian feather quills and exhibiting high host and microhabitat specificity. Despite the broad geographic distribution and ecological diversity of shrikes (Laniidae), their syringophilid fauna has received insufficient study.

Diversity of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) in the Indo‐Burma Biodiversity Hotspot

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The diversity of birds is well documented globally. However, the same attention has generally not been given to their parasites, which comprise many times their diversity. Here, we present data from a large‐scale survey of chewing lice found infesting birds in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot of western Yunnan, China.

Body chaetotaxy of three noctuid caterpillars. (Lepidoptera)

open access: yesDeutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 1987
The body chaetotaxy of three noctuid caterpillars have been elaborated to evolve the features of taxonomic importance. The punctures, relative lenght of the setae of SD and L groups on the prothorax, MD group on the meso- and metathorax and the SDI and SV groups on abdomen are depicted as diagnostic features in the present study.

Tri‐trophic interactions of soil mite Sancassania polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae) with fungal biocontrol agents

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Mycophagous invertebrates can significantly impact the efficacy of fungal biocontrol agents; yet the interaction between these agents and Sancassania polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae), commonly found in soil ecosystems, remains poorly understood. Our study demonstrates that Sa.

The dorsal chaetotaxy of Trogolaphysa (Collembola, Paronellidae), with descriptions of two new species from caves in Belize

open access: yesZooKeys, 2013
Species diagnosis in Trogolaphysa has been based, until now, almost exclusively on number of eyes and shape of claws and mucro. Chaetotaxy, a character system important to diagnose species in other genera of scaled Entomobryoidea, has been described only

Large‐Scale Integrative Taxonomy of the Smallest Insects Reveals Astonishing Temperate Diversity (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fairyflies (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Mymaridae) are a diverse but taxonomically understudied group of parasitoid wasps that attack the eggs of other insects. Being among the very smallest of all insects, they are often ignored in biodiversity surveys despite being one of the most abundant microhymenoptera in many habitats.
