Asioligochaetus
''Asioligochaetus'' is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It contains only one species, ''Asioligochaetus vlasovi'', which is distributed in Central Asia. The genus was originally proposed as a subgenus of '' Medetera'' by Oleg Negrobov in 1966. Because of its peculiar combination of characters, it was raised to genus rank by Igor Grichanov Igor Yakovlevich Grichanov (russian: link=no, Игорь Яковлевич Гричанов; born 10 September 1958) is a Russian entomologist and ecologist.

Medetera
''Medetera'' is a large genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It includes about 350 species worldwide. The adults are commonly found resting on vertical surfaces such as tree trunks. The larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae. A 2011 phylogenetic analysis of ''Medetera'' and related genera found that ''Medetera'' is paraphyletic with respect to ''Dolichophorus'', and that '' Thrypticus'' is a sister taxon to ''Medetera'' + ''Dolichophorus''. Species Taxonomy follows Bickel (1985, 1987), though some of the species groups are treated as separate genera by other authors. * ''nova'' species group: ** '' Medetera dominicensis'' Robinson, 1975 ** '' Medetera nova'' Van Duzee, 1919 ** '' Medetera xanthotricha'' Becker, 1922 ** one undescribed species from Chiapas, Mexico * ''isobellae'' species group: ** '' Medetera isobellae'' Bickel, 1985 ** '' Medetera pseudonigripes'' Robinson, 1975 * ''petulca'' species group: ** '' Medetera aeneiventris'' Van Duzee, 1933 ** '' Me ...

He studied in Voronezh State University. He described more than 350 taxa of Dolichopodidae, a family of flies. The fly genera ''Negrobovia'' and '' Olegonegrobovia'' were named in his honor. Negrobov was a member of the Civic Chamber of Voronezh Oblast Voronezh Oblast (russian: Воронежская область, Voronezhskaya oblast) is a federal subject of Russia (an oblast).

Aleksandr Stackelberg
Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Stackelberg (sometimes Shtakel'berg; russian: Александр Александрович Штакельберг; 1897–1975) was a Russian entomologist Entomology () is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was less specific, and historically the definition of entomology would also include the study of animals in other arthropod groups, such as arach .... Stackelberg was born in St. Petersburg and specialised on Diptera, notably Syrphidae. He joined the staff of the Zoological Museum of the Academy of Sciences in 1920, and in 1929 he was made the Director of the Diptera Division. From 1942 he was the Head of the Department of Entomology. He taught entomology to I. A. Rubtsov, B. B. Rohdendorf, Ye. N. Savchenko, and N. A. Violovitch. He wrote over 160 scientific papers.

Dolichopodidae
Dolichopodidae, the long-legged flies, are a large, cosmopolitan family of true flies with more than 7,000 described species in about 230 genera. The genus ''Dolichopus'' is the most speciose, with some 600 species. Dolichopodidae generally are small flies with large, prominent eyes and a metallic cast to their appearance, though there is considerable variation among the species. Most have long legs, though some do not. In many species, the males have unusually large genitalia which are taxonomically useful in identifying species. Most adults are predatory on other small animals, though some may scavenge or act as kleptoparasites of spiders or other predators. An expanded concept of the family (Dolichopodidae ''sensu lato'') includes the subfamilies Parathalassiinae and Microphorinae. The latter of these was formerly placed in the Empididae, and was at one time considered a separate family (Microphoridae). However, some authors propose instead that Dolichopodidae ''s.l.'' ...

Central Asia
Central Asia, also known as Middle Asia, is a region of Asia that stretches from the Caspian Sea in the west to western China and Mongolia in the east, and from Afghanistan and Iran in the south to Russia in the north. It includes the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, which are colloquially referred to as the "-stans" as the countries all have names ending with the Persian suffix " -stan", meaning "land of". The current geographical location of Central Asia was formerly part of the historic region of Turkistan, also known as Turan. In the pre-Islamic and early Islamic eras ( and earlier) Central Asia was inhabited predominantly by Iranian peoples, populated by Eastern Iranian-speaking Bactrians, Sogdians, Chorasmians and the semi-nomadic Scythians and Dahae. After expansion by Turkic peoples, Central Asia also became the homeland for the Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Tatars, Turkmen, Kyrgyz, and Uyghurs; Turkic langua ...

Diptera Of Asia
Flies are insects of the order Diptera, the name being derived from the Greek δι- ''di-'' "two", and πτερόν ''pteron'' "wing". Insects of this order use only a single pair of wings to fly, the hindwings having evolved into advanced mechanosensory organs known as halteres, which act as high-speed sensors of rotational movement and allow dipterans to perform advanced aerobatics. Diptera is a large order containing an estimated 1,000,000 species including horse-flies, crane flies, hoverflies and others, although only about 125,000 species have been described. Flies have a mobile head, with a pair of large compound eyes, and mouthparts designed for piercing and sucking (mosquitoes, black flies and robber flies), or for lapping and sucking in the other groups. Their wing arrangement gives them great maneuverability in flight, and claws and pads on their feet enable them to cling to smooth surfaces. Flies undergo complete metamorphosis; the eggs are often laid on the la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
