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

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

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.

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

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.
