Criorhina Berberina
''Criorhina berberina'' is a species of hoverfly. It is found in the Palaearctic from Fennoscandia South to Iberia and Italy. Ireland eastwards through Europe into Turkey and European Russia . ''C. berberina'' is a bumblebee mimic. The body has uniformly long dense pubescence, obscuring the ground-colour. There are two forms one with the pubescence more or less extensively blackish (typical ''berberina''), one in which it is entirely yellow or tawny (''berberina'' var. ''oxyacanthae'' Meigen). ''Criorhina'' differ from other bumblebee mimics - '' Mallota'', '' Arctophila'', '' Pocota'' and '' Brachypalpus'' by the form of their antennae: the first segments are thin and form a stalk, the third segment is shorter than it is wide. In ''Criorhina'', the face projects downwards, in contrast to ''Pocota'' and ''Brachypalpus''. Larvae of ''C. berberina'' are associated with rotting deciduous wood. The larva is figured by Hartley (1961) and Rotheray (1993) Adults are arboreal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Charles Howard Curran (20 March 1894 – 23 January 1972) was a Canadian entomologist who specialised in Diptera.

In 1931, he donated his collection to that institution: it has 10,000 specimens representing about 1,700 species including 400 types. He received in 1933 a Doctorate of Science at the University of Montreal with a thesis entitled The Families and Genera of North American Diptera. He was vice-president of the New York Entomological Society The New York Entomological Society was founded in 1892. The Brooklyn Entomological Society merged with the Society in 1968.
