Behavioral aspects and predation of seeds of Cardiospermum grandiflorum Swartz (Sapindaceae) by Cissoanthonomus tuberculipennis Hustache (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

For the first time in Brazil, the weevil Cissoanthonomus tuberculipennis Hustache, 1939 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are reported preying on seeds of Cardiospermum grandiflorum Swartz (Sapindaceae). Observations are presented on oviposition and larval behavior, pupation site, and adult emergence. Photos of host plant, egg, larva, pupa and adult are provided

Craspedacusta cf. sowerbii Lankester, 1880 (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa: Limnomedusae): new record for the middle plateau region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

This study reports a new record of Craspedacusta cf. sowerbii for the Municipality of Passo Fundo, located in the central plateau region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The C. cf. sowerbii specimens were collected in May 2010 in an artificial lake formed by the flooding of a former basaltic quarry. The lake is 665 m above sea level and its surface area measures around 25.000 m2. Its crystalline water is linked by the Miranda creek to the Passo Fundo River, part of the Uruguay River basin

New distribution record, host plant and notes on natural history of Tomoplagia rudolphi (Lutz & Lima, 1918) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, there are few records of geographical distribution and host plants to species of Tomoplagia Coquillett, as well as other genera of Tephritidae, especially those associated with plants of the family Asteraceae. Here, we report the first occurrence of Tomoplagia rudolphi (Lutz & Lima, 1918) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, inducing stem galls in Vernonanthura tweediana (Baker) H. Rob. (Asteraceae, Vernonieae), whose plant becomes a new host record for this species. In this way, is increased to nine species of Tomoplagia recorded for Rio Grande do Sul. Biological and morphological data and photos of gall, larvae, pupae at new host and distribution map of the species in Brazil are provided

First records of Sepedonea lindneri (Hendel, 1932) and Protodictya lilloana Steyskal, 1953 (Diptera, Sciomyzidae) from Uruguay with an overview on their biology

Sciomyzidae (Diptera) has been recorded in several countries of South America, but few species have been found in Uruguay. We report the first record of Sepedonea lindneri (Hendel, 1932) and Protodictya lilloana Steyskal, 1953 (Diptera, Sciomyzidae) from Uruguay. The specimens were collected in rice crops and in adjacent native vegetation with sweep net and vacuum sampler from December to March (2012–2015) in the Eastern region of the country. Photos of collection areas, habitus of adults and distribution map of the species are provided

Anastrepha bistrigata Bezzi, 1919 and Anastrepha striata Schiner, 1868 (Diptera: Tephritidae) occurring sympatrically in Barreiras, Bahia, Brazil, and first record of both species in the state

Anastrepha bistrigata Bezzi, 1919 and Anastrepha striata Schiner, 1868 (Diptera: Tephritidae) infest guava (Psidium guajava L.), but only A. striata is considered a serious pest in all countries where it occurs. Both species also exploit several other host plants. They are frequently collected in fruit fly surveys in Brazil, but it is unusual to collect them in the same locality. For this reason, we report the co-occurrence of A. bistrigata and A. striata in Barreiras, Bahia, Brazil, which is also the first record of both species in this state. Information on morphological identification, distribution in Brazil, hosts, and sympatric occurrences of these species is also provided

Checklist of the dipterofauna (Insecta) from Roraima, Brazil, with special reference to the Brazilian Ecological Station of Maracá

Roraima is a Brazilian state located in the northern portion of the Amazon basin, with few studies regarding its biodiversity. The Ecological Station of Maracá (Brazil, state of Roraima) harbors the third largest Brazilian pluvial island and is composed of a transitional landscape of savanna and Amazon rainforest components. Despite its ecological importance and strategic localization, few studies covered the dipterofauna of this locality. An updated checklist addressing 41 families of true flies (Diptera) occurring in Roraima is presented based on the literature and the specimens collected during a field expedition that occurred in 2015. This checklist brings several improvements such as new records of 165 taxa to the state of Roraima, 29 taxa to Brazil, and 259 morphotypes, mostly likely representing undescribed species

Rhagoletotrypeta chapecensis Norrbom & Savaris, n. sp.

Rhagoletotrypeta chapecensis Norrbom & Savaris, n. sp. (Figs. 1, 3, 4, 11‒13, 17‒ 21) Diagnosis. Rhagoletotrypeta chapecensis belongs to the xanthogastra species group (Norrbom 1994), as indicated by the presence of a sublateral white vitta on the scutum, the lateral surstylus with a distinct anterior lobe, the aculeus tip trilobed, and abdomen with three spermathecae. It differs from the other species of the xanthogastra group for which females are known (R. parallela Norrbom, R. pastranai Aczél and R. xanthogastra Aczél) in lacking the lateral barb on the aculeus. It differs from the other species of the group, R. cubensis Norrbom and R. gelabertae, n. sp., for which the females are unknown, in having relatively narrow wing bands, especially the apical band (e.g., hyaline area between subapical and apical bands extended anteriorly into cell r 2 + 3 or r 1). It further differs from R. cubensis in having more extensive brown markings on the thorax (e.g., scutum with presutural brown markings, and postsutural brown marks extended to dorsocentral seta; and scutellar brown basal mark extended to level of basal seta), and from R. gelabertae in having the sublateral white vitta on the scutum extended to the intra-alar seta. Description. Body length 4.7‒6.4 mm. Wing length 4.7 ‒6.0 mm. Mesonotum length 2.05‒2.90 mm. Body predominantly yellow to orange with dark brown to black markings (Fig. 1). Setae very dark brown to black. Head yellow to orange except brown ocellar tubercle. Frons with 2‒4 (usually 3) frontal and 2 orbital setae. Ocellar seta well developed. Facial carina strong, ventral half very broad. Antenna short, extended about half distance to ventral facial margin; first flagellomere 1.75 ‒2.0 times as long as wide (on mesal side), rounded dorsoapically. Thorax orange and dark brown, with following white or pale yellow areas: postpronotal lobe and presutural lateral area on scutum extended posteriorly to or almost to presutural supra-alar seta; medial and sublateral scutal vittae (unpaired medial vitta relatively narrow, extended laterally to or almost to base of acrostichal seta, and reaching posterior scutal margin; paired sublateral vitta bordering medial part of transverse suture and extended posteriorly to intra-alar seta but not reaching posterior scutal margin); distal half to two-thirds of scutellum; triangular area on anepisternum including dorsal margin and dorsal third to half of posterior margin (extending ventrally to second large anepisternal seta); greater ampulla; and usually dorsal 1 / 4 ‒ 3 / 4 of anatergite. Dark brown areas including: broad submedial vittae, constricted or narrowly interrupted at transverse suture (anterior half of white medial vitta bordered by narrow orange areas); most of notopleuron; lateral postsutural margin of scutum, connected on posterior margin to submedial vitta; base of scutellum on disk and side, extended to or slightly beyond base of basal scutellar seta, margin usually straight medially but sometimes convex and extended posterior to level of basal seta; broad quadrate medial mark on anepisternum; most of anepimeron, katatergite, subscutellum and mediotergite; and entire or ventral part of anatergite. Dorsocentral seta aligned with or slightly posterior to level of postsutural supra-alar seta. Scutum mostly inconspicuously microtrichose, without denser presutural submedial areas, most of presutural part of brown submedial vitta nonmicrotrichose, extending posteriorly more narrowly at least to dorsocentral seta. Scutellum entirely microtrichose. Legs mostly orange; hind tibia mostly dark brown, at least on dorsal half. Wing (Figs. 3‒4) predominantly hyaline with 5 narrow, mostly brown bands: subbasal band from crossvein h to midlength of vein CuA+CuP, mostly brown but proximal margin orange from cell bc to cell cu a, filling all of cell bm (except fold); discal band from distal part of cell c and pterostigma to posterior margin near midpoint between apices of veins CuA+CuP and M 4, covering crossvein r-m and entire base of cell r 2 + 3, mostly orange with brown margins except entirely brown in cell m 4, and without proximal brown margin in cells c, br and r 2 + 3; narrow, entirely brown accessory costal band, extended from costa to vein R 4 + 5; relatively narrow, entirely brown subapical band, diverging anteriorly from discal band but narrowly connected to it on posterior margin (connection does not extend anteriorly beyond vein M 4); and relatively narrow, entirely brown anterior apical band, connected to subapical band in cell r 1 extending to apex of vein M 1 (its width measured at apex of vein R 4 + 5 0.23 ‒0.32 times width of hyaline area between it and subapical band measured along vein R 4 + 5). Hyaline area between subapical and anterior apical bands extended to vein R 2 + 3 or slightly into cell r 1. Crossvein r-m at 0.53‒0.60 distance from crossvein bm-m to crossvein dm-m. Wing length/width ratio 2.25‒2.57. Abdomen mostly orange; tergites 4 and 5 with medially interrupted dark brown bands; tergite 3 usually with medially interrupted dark brown band or row of dark brown spots; female tergite 6 with sublateral dark brown spot. Tergites evenly black setulose; male tergite 5 and female tergites 5 and 6 with larger apical setae. Male terminalia (Figs. 11‒13) with medial surstylus short; lateral surstylus with distinct anterior (mesal) lobe and moderately long posterior lobe; glans relatively slender, strongly and complexly sclerotized, without distinctive apical or subapical lobes. Female terminalia (Figs. 17‒21) with oviscape mostly orange, apex dark brown, nearly evenly black setulose, dorsally with 2 submedial apical pairs of larger setae; aculeus without lateral barbs near distal third; tip trilobed, relatively stout and tapering to trilobed part, widest part approximately twice as wide as width of trilobed part; 3 spermathecae spherical, with short neck. Distribution. This species is known from southern Brazil (Paraná, Santa Catarina) and Paraguay. Biology. The larvae develop in berries of Celtis iguanaea (Jacq.) Sarg. (Ulmaceae). It is the only known host plant. This species was reared together with Rhagoletotrypeta pastranai Aczél from the same samples of fruits on two occasions. Type data.

The name of this species is an adjective based on Chapecó, the type locality. Remarks. As in other species of Rhagoletotrypeta for which the male is known, the medial surstylus is relatively short. The lack of the lateral barb on the aculeus suggests that this character state is not a synapomorphy of the xanthogastra group as hypothesized by Norrbom (1994), but only for a clade including R. parallela, R. pastranai, and R. xanthogastra, and possibly R. cubensis or R. gelabertae, for which females are unknown.Published as part of Norrbom, Allen L., Savaris, Marcoandre & Marinoni, Luciane, 2016, New species of Rhagoletotrypeta (Diptera: Tephritidae) from the Dominican Republic and southern Brazil and ParaGuay, pp. 547-554 in Zootaxa 4088 (4) on pages 548-552, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4088.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/26920
