I'm trying to identify my limited Pallopteridae collection with Bei-Bienko and Seguy. The most common in my collection clearly wasn't in either. From pictures here I gather it's P scutellata, but a correct key (Seguy clearly has errors) with all species would be nice. Can anybody send me the pallopteridae of Stubbs/Clements or tell me how I can find it (reference ?) ? Thanks, Joris

Palloptera scutellata has a very typical wing patern. It doesn't look like any of the other pallopterids. You could compare it with the picture in the gallery.

As far as I know, Andrey Ozerov will finish soon his work on Russia Pallopteridae. Has to be a useful article/book.

There is a key to genera with the references to Morge, Ozerov and others for each genus in the Contr. to Manual of Palaearctic Diptera vol. 3, 1998. So try Stackelberg in Bei Bienko plus Morge plus a few addenda by Ozerov for Caucasian stuff. I somehow do not believe Andrey is going to publish a key to Russian stuff in English  - but, anyway, I'd like to translate it, as I did with Shatalkin's Lauxaniidae keys for Bernhard Merz in 1999.

Thanks all - I received the key I needed which should be OK for most of my material (from Belgium), with some help from the gallery. The one I could not identify is clearly P scutellata. The rest I think I got correct with Stackelberg in Bei Bienko (which does not contain P scutellata). I will let you know the results later this week. Joris |

Ok, if I'm correct this should be P. scutellata: Possibly a male - allthough, I'm not sure:  what do you think ? And for those interested, I have Palloptera quinquemaculata (2 sites), P scutellata (6 sites - other exx are definitely females), Palloptera trimacula (1 site), Palloptera umbellatarum (1 site), and Palloptera ustulata (or anderssoni; 1 site). All from Brabant and/or Antwerp, Belgium. Joris Edited by pjoris on 25-08-2009 10:21 |

Yes, this is Palloptera scutellata, no doubt. When did you collect this male specimen? It's our theory that only the females hibernate. Therefor only females are found in spring.

Since everyone is rather baffled most of the time by P. ustulata and P. anderssoni, I once again tried to find the paper with the original description online. Having failed many times I was pleasantly surpirsed to find the journal issue with the paper is now online at archive.org. I downloaded the issue and extracted the Rotheray and MacGowan paper and put it in the downloads section. Just scroll down till you find it at www.diptera.info/...?cat_id=16 (currently on the second page).
