Syritta is a genus of hoverflies, family Syrphidae.

<i>Xylota</i> Genus of flies

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.

<i>Annales de la Société entomologique de France</i> Academic journal

Annales de la Société entomologique de France is one of the oldest entomology journals in the world. It was founded in 1832, and began a new series in 1965, when it merged with Revue Française d'Entomologie and Revue de Pathologie Végétale et d'Entomologie Agricole de France. It is published by Taylor & Francis. It publishes original research papers about insects (Hexapoda), Arachnida and Myriapoda: taxonomy, comparative morphology, phylogeny, zoogeography, population genetics, plant-insect relationships, ethology, ecology, biology. Concerning taxonomy, the journal avoids publishing isolated descriptions and gives preference to papers that include ecological, biogeographical, phylogenetical considerations, or comprehensive revisions.

Terebrantia is a suborder of thrips. Order Thysanoptera includes 5,500 species classified into two suborders distinguished by the ovipositor. Terebrantia have a well-developed conical ovipositor, while the Tubulifera do not. It contains 13 families, five of which are only known from fossils. Members of Terebrantia mainly feed on plants. All have two larval instars followed by two pupal instars.
