Hadromyia Aepalius
Hadromyia aepalius (Walker, 1849), the Sterling Quicksilver, is a rare species of syrphid fly found in eastern North America. Hoverflies get their names from the ability to remain nearly motionless while in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found around and on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. Description For terms see Morphology of Diptera. ;Head: The frontal triangle and face are yellow The gena are black. The antennae are yellowish red. ;Thorax: The scutum is shining metallic bronze, with erect, rather abundant light yellow pile. The humeri are yellowish red. The pleurae are black, in the middle with light yellow pile. The scutellu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hadromyia Aldrichi
''Hadromyia aldrichi'' is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae. Description "Very similar to opacus but more robust, head obviously broader than high; abdomen brilliant bronze, with the pile more golden. " "Female: Frons depressed, dull aeneous black, somewhat reddish above antennae, with dark brown pile and very narrow whitish pollinose stripes along eyes. Dorsum of thorax sub-shining black, with dark brown pile; meso-pleurae with rather long golden pile; posterior margin of scutellum and post-alar calli with yellow pile. Abdomen banded similarly to opacus. Fore femora dark on outer side, yellow on inner side; middle femora al- most entirely yellow; hind femora yellow, a dark band around the middle; the rest of legs yellow, except the last two joints of all the tarsi.

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] |
Eristalinae
Eristalinae (or Milesiinae) are one of the four subfamilies of the fly family Syrphidae, or hoverflies. A well-known species included in this subfamily is the dronefly, ''Eristalis tenax''. Species in this subfamily are often misclassified as bees instead of flies due to their exceptional Mimicry, especially to resemble Honeybees (family Apidae). The best strategy for proper identification is to look at their eyes and wings and compare with fly morphology, to determine membership of family Syrphidae and/or of order Hymenoptera. Taxonomy This subfamily consists of the following tribes: * Brachyopini * Callicerini * Cerioidini * Eristalini * Sericomyiini * Eumerini * Milesiini * Pipizini * Rhingiini * Spheginobacchini * Volucellini gallery Brachyopa daeckei.jpg, '' Brachyopa daeckei'' actual size Sphiximorpha subsessilis, Parc de Woluwé, Brussels (34851582946).jpg, ''Sphiximorpha subsessilis'' Namaste!

Samuel Wendell Williston
Samuel Wendell Williston (July 10, 1852 – August 30, 1918) was an American educator, entomologist, and paleontologist who was the first to propose that birds developed flight cursorially (by running), rather than arboreally (by leaping from tree to tree). He was a specialist on the flies, Diptera. He is remembered for Williston's law, which states that parts in an organism, such as arthropod limbs, become reduced in number and specialized in function through evolutionary history. Early life Williston was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Samuel Williston and Jane A. Williston née Turner. As a young child, Williston's family travelled to Kansas Territory in 1857 under the auspices of the New England Emigrant Aid Company to help fight the extension of slavery. He was raised in Manhattan, Kansas, attended public high school there, and graduated from Kansas State Agricultural College (now Kansas State University) in 1872, afterwards receiving a Master of Arts from that ins ...
