Father Gabriel Strobl (1846-1925), a renowned dipterist, spent most of his life at the Benedictine monastery of Admont, in the Austrian Alps. He published many papers on Alpine and south European Diptera and built up a natural history museum in the monastery, including 50,000 specimens of Diptera. He described 902 new species-group names (species, varieties or forms), which are revised in this book. Information is given on all type specimens in the Stroble Diptera collection, their type-status, designations and identifications. [9783932795312].

Consequently, this work has evaluated 832 publications in order to determine the currently known Diptera of Lower Saxony and Bremen. 4017 valid species from 109 families are published. The records of 193 of these species are considered to be doubtful. These are (a) historical records that could not be correctly determined with the literature available at that time, or (b) records of species from far outside their previously known distribution area that were listed without further comment.Apart from these dubious records, a total of 3824 species of Diptera have been found. From the city-state of Bremen only 1066 Diptera species are known, from Lower Saxony 3673. Most of the published records would not meet strict evaluation criteria. For each species a complete source list has been separately compiled for Lower Saxony and Bremen. This results in the first comprehensive bibliography of the Diptera of Lower Saxony and Bremen.A short summary of more than 200 years of history of dipterological research in Lower Saxony and Bremen has been compiled. In 1794 a fruit fly (Drosophilidae) from Braunschweig was described this is the first published record of a dipteran from Lower Saxony. Faunistic observations in the 19th and early 20th centuries in northern Lower Saxony and Bremen were summarized by the important dipterist Otto Kröber. Diseases caused by Diptera have resulted in research on individual fly species in Lower Saxony and Bremen. For example the devastating malaria epidemics in northern Lower Saxony were due to the mosquito Anopheles (Culicidae); the "Leinemücke" (Simuliidae) led to cattle dying; biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) spread bluetongue disease and phytophagous Diptera caused loss of yield in agriculture. Ecological research in the second half of the 20th century, especially in forests and on arable land in Lower Saxony, yielded a significant increase in knowledge. Flies and midges were largely untouched by nature conservation activities. They are still not considered important in nature conservation work in Lower Saxony and Bremen! An overview of the sparse current research is provided by profiles of current dipterologists in Lower Saxony and Bremen.Only the species lists of robber flies (Asilidae) and thick-headed flies (Conopidae) are nearly complete. Records of the remaining 58 species-rich families are incomplete or fragmented. Overall, the knowledge of the Diptera of Lower Saxony and Bremen is insufficient. At most half of the expected species have been recorded and published from Lower Saxony and Bremen. Currently Diptera are not systematically recorded in Lower Saxony and Bremen. Only a few private researchers are sporadically investigating selected fly families. This is worrying, because flies and midges are the most species rich group in Lower Saxony and Bremen!

Zustand: New. viii, 333, col photos. . HB. NEW. . This inventory and taxonomic revision documents the occurrence of 230 species, 28 genera and 9 tribes of Lestremiinae in Fennoscandia and Denmark. Species-based information on distribution and phenology is provided and the biogeographic patterns identified are discussed. Diagnoses, illustrations and keys facilitate the identification of species (adults). An illustrated key makes the identification of all supraspecific taxa known from the Holarctic region possible. 60 new synonyms and 12 new combinaions are proposed, and 1 new genus and 56 new species are described.

In the second volume of the series 'Diptera Stelviana', further results are published from the survey of the Diptera (flies and midges) in the South Tyrol part of the Stilfserjoch National Park (Italian Alps). Five Malaise traps were used, which were set up during the vegetative period of 2005 along a transect from the submontane to the alpine altitudinal zones (940 m to 2,135 m above NHN). Includes a comprehensive historical account of dipterological research in the South Tyrol since 1860. In the first part of this series which was published in 2008 more than 25.000 specimens of Diptera were dealt with. In the current volume results on a further 25,687 specimens are presented. The identified flies and midges belong to 900 species and represent 27 Diptera families. The results are given in 29 individual reports in which 29 international specialists have collaborated. Although there have been dipterological investigations in the study area since 1860, an additional 476 species have been found in the identified Diptera that were not previously known from South Tyrol. Although the fauna of Italy is rich and relatively well known, the present investigations in theStilfserjoch National Park have nevertheless added a further 109 species as new records for Italy. In both volumes of 'Diptera Stelviana' 1,248 species are recorded for the first time from South Tyrol and 357 species for the first time from Italy. The Diptera family Tachinidae is dealt with in particular detail in the second volume. A review is given of the 360 species that were collectedbetween 1860 and 2009 in the region of the presentday province of Bozen-South Tyrol. Seven taxa are described as new for science: Apiloscatopse ziegleri sp. nov. [Scatopsidae], Chrysosomopsis macrocercus sp. nov. [Tachinidae], Dinera fuscata occidentalis ssp. nov. [Tachinidae], Lonchaea stelviana sp. nov. [Lonchaeidae], Megaselia ziegleri sp. nov. [Phoridae], Meoneura pohlae sp. nov. [Carnidae], and Pneumia glabella sp. nov. [Psychodidae]. Eleven maps and 16 diagrams, 137 drawings and 45 photographs ofmorphological details, 20 other photographs as well as 52 photographs of living flies in their natural habitats (altogether 282 figures)illustrate the contributions. The second volume of the 'Diptera Stelviana' concludes with an overview of the results, a bibliography forthe General Part, summaries in Italian and German, a list of the collaborating authors, an index of the illustrations of Diptera species,and an index of the dipterological names.
