Allograpta robinsoni [2] is a two-winged species of hoverfly found on the Malay peninsula, first described by Charles Howard Curran in 1928. [3] It is an oriental species in the Allograpta obliqua species group. [4]
The eastern or Queensland tube-nosed bat is a megabat in the family Pteropodidae that lives in north-eastern Australia. N. robinsoni is one of the few species of megabat that roosts solitarily. They get their common name from their raised tubular nostrils which are unlike those of most other species in the family. They are a deep brown with gray heads and sparse yellow spotting.
The white-thighed surili is a species of primate from the family of old world monkeys (Cercopithecidae). This species lives arboreal amongst the sub-montane forests. It is endemic to the Thai-Malay Peninsula, the Riau Archipelago and Sumatra. In addition, the white-thighed surili contain four subspecies: siamensis (nominate), cana, paenulata and rhionis, are recognized here. Furthermore, they are characterized by the white patches located on the outside of their legs, which is what gives them their name. Additionally, they can be referred to as pale-thighed langur/surili. These primates are an important species for the diversity of forest environments in the Malaysian area.
The Malayan tailless leaf-nosed bat is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is a very small bat which has long and soft fur. The fur coloration is brown to blackish on the dorsal surface and ashy on the ventral surface. It can be distinguished from the other roundleaf bats by its small size and the absence of the tail. It is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN
Xylota is a Holarctic genus of hoverflies similar in structure to the related genera Chalcosyrphus and Brachypalpoides. As the larvae are saprophytic they're usually found in rotting wood. The adult flies are generally associated with woodland and woodland edges and can often be seen running over the upper sides of leaves. Unlike other syrphids the adults of many species rarely visit flowers preferring instead to gather pollen from leaf surfaces. There are over 100 described species of which 12 can be found in Europe. Seven species have been recorded in Britain. Identification of species has been difficult and identifiction by photographs is risky.
Lixophaga is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Diaphorus is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Lyroneurus is considered by some authors to be a subgenus of this genus.
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, on which they have a characteristic vertical upright stance. Because of this stance, they are sometimes known as "woodpecker flies". Medetera adults are predators of soft-bodied arthropods, while the larvae are predators of bark beetle larvae.
Rhaphium is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. It is the largest genus within the subfamily Rhaphiinae, with over 200 species currently known.
Blera is primarily a North American genus, though there are 3 species from Europe. The genus is characterized by the following characters:
Charles Howard Curran was a Canadian entomologist who specialized in Diptera. Curran's main taxonomic interests were in brachyceran flies, particularly the flower flies Syrphidae, in which he described 723 species. He described 2,648 species over his career. He was active in the study of insect control. His 1934 work The Families and Genera of North American Diptera was an important and comprehensive work on the topic of North American fly genera.
The Syrphini are a tribe of hoverflies.
Diasemopsis is a genus of stalk-eyed flies in the family Diopsidae. They are known from sub-Saharan Africa.
Archytas is a genus of flies in the family Tachinidae.
Diopsina is a genus of stalk-eyed flies in the family Diopsidae.
Allograpta exotica is a species in the family Syrphidae, in the order Diptera ("flies"). Larvae are often predators of aphids. Their life cycle from egg to adults is around 15 days, with adults living for approximately 10 days.
Euhybus is a genus of flies in the family Hybotidae.
Metadon is a genus of hoverfly containing 43 species. Most of the species were originally described in the genus Microdon.
Allograpta piurana is a species of hoverfly.
Fazia is a genus of hoverflies, formerly treated as a subgenus of Allograpta, but now treated as a genus, though not monophyletic as presently defined.
