Scaeva Pyrastri
''Scaeva pyrastri'', common name the pied hoverfly, is a species of hoverfly. Distribution These hoverflies are present in most of Europe, the Near East, the East Palearctic realm, the Nearctic realm, North Africa, and the Indomalayan realm. In the UK ''S. pyrastri'' is a migrant which arrives in some years in high numbers and in others is almost absent. Description ''Scaeva pyrastri'' can reach a length of . This large distinctive fly has three pairs of white comma markings ( lunules) on the abdomen, these are yellow on '' Scaeva selenitica''. The face is yellow, with reddish brown antennae. The eyes are covered with hair. Scutellum is brown yellow. The legs are red with a black base of the femur. The male's eyes do touch in the centre of the frons, while in the females they are separated. The larvae are light green or sometimes pink, with a white dorsal longitudinal stripe. Habitat and behavior This species can be found in gardens, meadows and wasteland. Adults are com ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Scaeva Affinis
''Scaeva affinis'', commonly known as the white-bowed smoothwing, is a species of hoverfly found in western North America. The larval form feeds voraciously on aphids. ''Scaeva affinis'' is the only ''Scaeva'' likely to be encountered in the Nearctic realm, where it is common in the west and rare in the east. This species is believed to be migratory.' In 1823, Thomas Say originally described it as "tergum black with three yellow wikt:lunule, lunules on each side...inhabits Arkansa." ''S. affinis'' was later combined with (and then determined to be a distinct species and was split back off from) ''Scaeva pyrastri''.

Syrphinae
The Syrphinae constitute one of the three subfamilies of the fly family Syrphidae. Most larvae of this subfamily feed on aphids. It is a monophyletic group with more than 1,600 species.

Carl Robert Osten-Sacken
Carl Robert Osten-Sacken or Carl-Robert Romanovich, Baron von der Osten-Sacken, Baron Osten Sacken (21 August 1828, – 20 May 1906) was a Russian diplomat and entomologist. He served as the Russian consul general in New York City during the American Civil War, living in the United States from 1856 to 1877. He worked on the taxonomy of flies in general and particularly of the family Tipulidae (crane flies). Early life Carl Robert Osten-Sacken was born on 21 August 1828 in St. Petersburg as the son of Baltic German Baron Reinhold Friedrich von der Osten-Sacken (1791-1864) and his wife, Elisabeth von Engelhardt (1805-1873). Biography He took an interest in insects at the age of eleven through the influence of Joseph N. Schatiloff, a Russian coleopterist. In 1849 he joined the Imperial Foreign Office and while still in Russia he published his first entomological papers, including an account of the species found in the suburbs of St. Petersburg. In 1856, he was sent to Wash ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
10th Edition Of Systema Naturae
The 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759, which marks the starting point of zoological nomenclature. In it, Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature for animals, something he had already done for plants in his 1753 publication of ''Species Plantarum''. Starting point Before 1758, most biological catalogues had used polynomial names for the taxa included, including earlier editions of ''Systema Naturae''. The first work to consistently apply binomial nomenclature across the animal kingdom was the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature therefore chose 1 January 1758 as the "starting point" for zoological nomenclature, and asserted that the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' was to be treated as if published on that date. Names published before that date are unavailable, even if they would otherwise satisfy the rules. The onl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
