Lista preliminar de 34 familias de dípteros acalípteros de Cataluña (españa) (diptera, acalyptrata)
Se presenta un listado de 353 especies (y subespecies) de dípteros de Cataluña,
pertenecientes a 34 familias del grupo Acalyptrata. Estas familias, ordenadas alfabéticamente son las siguientes: Acartophthalmidae, Anthomyzidae, Asteiidae, Aulacigasteridae, Camillidae, Campichoetidae, Carnidae, Chamaemyiidae, Chyromyidae, Coelopidae, Cryptochetidae, Curtonotidae, Diastatidae, Dryomyzidae, Heleomyzidae, Lauxaniidae, Lonchaeidae, Micropezidae, Milichiidae, Odiniidae, Opomyzidae, Otitidae, Pallopteridae, Periscelididae, Phaeomyiidae, Piophilidae, Platystomatidae, Psilidae, Sciomyzidae, Sepsidae, Sphaeroceridae, Tethinidae, Trixoscelididae y Ulidiidae.
Para cada especie se indican las provincias catalanas en las cuales ha sido citada. También se presenta una breve historia del estudio de dichas familias en Cataluña; y se compara la fauna catalana con la de otros paises europeos, llegando a la conclusión de que se está lejos de conocerla bien. Por último, se compara también el conocimiento dipterológico que se tiene entre las cuatro provincias catalanas.Checklist of 34 families of acalyptrate Diptera from Catalonia (Spain) (Diptera, Acalyptrata). A list with 353 dipterous species (and subspecies) of Catalonia (northeast of Spain), belonging to 34 families of the Acalyptrata-group, is presented. These families, ordered alphabetically, are: Acartophthalmidae, Anthomyzidae, Asteiidae, Aulacigasteridae, Camillidae,
Campichoetidae, Carnidae, Chamaemyiidae, Chyromyidae, Coelopidae, Cryptochetidae, Curtonotidae, Diastatidae, Dryomyzidae, Heleomyzidae, Lauxaniidae, Lonchaeidae, Micropezidae, Milichiidae, Odiniidae, Opomyzidae, Otitidae, Pallopteridae, Periscelididae, Phaeomyiidae, Piophilidae, Platystomatidae, Psilidae, Sciomyzidae, Sepsidae, Sphaeroceridae, Tethinidae,
Trixoscelididae and Ulidiidae.
For each species the Catalan provinces in which they were recorded are stated. A brief history of the study of these families in Catalonia is also presented, as well as the comparison of the Catalan fauna with that of other European countries, concluding that Catalan fauna is very poorly known. Finally, the dipterological knowledge of the four Catalan provinces is compared

Por último, se da una clave de las especies paleártico-occidentales de Euthycera
Os artrópodes (Arthropoda) dos arquipélagos da Madeira e das Selvagens
Os artrópodes terrestres (e.g. aranhas, ácaros, outros aracnídeos, crustáceos, centopeias, diplópodes, insectos, etc.) são o grupo de animais dominante na Terra. Nos arquipélagos da Madeira e das Selvagens, este grupo é também o mais diverso e inclui espécies associadas a uma grande variedade de ecossistemas. 2. Com base na revisão detalhada da bibliografia existente e de outros registos não publicados, foram listados 3891 taxa (espécies e subespécies) de artrópodes terrestres, que pertencem a 462 famílias e 2118 géneros. O subfilo Hexapoda (no qual estão incluídos os insectos) é o mais diverso de todos os subfilos de artrópodes, com 3394 taxa, o que corresponde a 87% de todos os artrópodes.ABSTRACT: Terrestrial arthropods (e.g. spiders, mites, other arachnids, crustaceans, centipedes, millipedes, insects, etc.) are the dominant life form on Earth. In the archipelagos of Madeira and Selvagens this group of animals is also the most diverse and includes species associated to a wide variety of ecosystems. 2. Based on a detailed literature survey, including both published and unpublished records, 3,891 taxa (species and subspecies) of terrestrial arthropods belonging to 462 families and 2,118 genera were recorded for Madeira and Selvagens. The subphylum Hexapoda, which includes highly diverse insects, is by far the most diverse of all arthropod groups with 3,394 taxa (i.e. 87 % of all arthropods)
Primeros datos de la familia Clusiidae (Diptera, Acalyptrata) para la fauna ibérica
Se da a conocer por primera vez la presencia de la familia Clusiidae (Díptera, Acalyptrata) en la fauna ibérica, a través de las especies Clusia flava (Meigen, 1830), Clusiodes albimanus (Meigen, 1830), Clusiodes verticalis (Collin, 1912) y Paraclusia tigrina (Fallen, 1820). Todas ellas se han recolectado en el macizo del Montseny (Barcelona), mediante técnicas secuenciales indirectas, en un bosque de hayas. La metodología desarrollada permite abundar en aspectos fenológicos de las especies mencionadas, cuyo ciclo vital y otros datos ecológicos son prácticamente desconocidos en la actualidad.Through the Clusia flava (Meigen, 1830), Clusiodes albimanus (Meigen, 1830), Clusiodes verticalis (Collin, 1912) and Paraclusia tigrina (Fallen, 1820) species, we give the first record of the family Clusiidae (Diptera, Acalyptrata) for the Iberian fauna. The four species were collected by indirect and sequential methodologies, in a beech wood of the Montseny massif (Barcelona, Spain). The developped methodologies gives the possibility to comment the phenological aspects of mese species. The life cycle and others aspects of their biology are practically unknown today

Abstract Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) of all extant multicellular European terrestrial and freshwater animals and their geographical distribution at the level of countries and major islands (east of the Urals and excluding the Caucasus region). The Fauna Europaea project comprises about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. Fauna Europaea represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing taxonomic specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many user communities in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education. The Diptera-Brachycera is one of the 58 Fauna Europaea major taxonomic groups, and data have been compiled by a network of 55 specialists. Within the two-winged insects (Diptera), the Brachycera constitute a monophyletic group, which is generally given rank of suborder. The Brachycera may be classified into the probably paraphyletic 'lower brachyceran grade' and the monophyletic Eremoneura. The latter contains the Empidoidea, the Apystomyioidea with a single Nearctic species, and the Cyclorrhapha, which in turn is divided into the paraphyletic 'aschizan grade' and the monophyletic Schizophora. The latter is traditionally divided into the paraphyletic 'acalyptrate grade' and the monophyletic Calyptratae. Our knowledge of the European fauna of Diptera-Brachycera varies tremendously among families, from the reasonably well known hoverflies (Syrphidae) to the extremely poorly known scuttle flies (Phoridae). There has been a steady growth in our knowledge of European Diptera for the last two centuries, with no apparent slow down, but there is a shift towards a larger fraction of the new species being found among the families of the nematoceran grade (lower Diptera), which due to a larger number of small-sized species may be considered as taxonomically more challenging. Most of Europe is highly industrialised and has a high human population density, and the more fertile habitats are extensively cultivated. This has undoubtedly increased the extinction risk for numerous species of brachyceran flies, yet with the recent re-discovery of Thyreophora cynophila (Panzer), there are no known cases of extinction at a European level. However, few national Red Lists have extensive information on Diptera. For the Diptera-Brachycera, data from 96 families containing 11,751 species are included in this paper
