	abstract = {<p>A new species of the genus Ctenosciara Tuomikoski, 1960 is here described based upon a single specimen, obtained from collectings in the garden at Museum Alexander Koenig in Bonn. Ctenosciara alexanderkoenigi sp. n. differs from all other congeneric European species by its striking coloration and distinct male genitalia. However, DNA barcoding reveals associations with two specimens from New Zealand. Therefore a recent migration of Ctenosciara species from the Australasian Region, the likely center of origin of the genus, is discussed. A key to the European species of Ctenosciara is provided. Barcoding results reveale that Ctenosciara exigua is not clearly distinguished from Ctenosciara hyalipennis by its COI sequence (both share the same BIN BOLD:AAH3983) and that its species status may be questionable.</p>

DNA sequences (COI, COII, CytB, and ITS2) are included and compared for 13 species of Docosia. There was found only little congruence between the molecular results and previous scarce data about interspecific relationships based on morphology. The COI and CytB gene markers showed the highest interspecific gene distances while ITS2 showed the lowest ones. An updated key to the 23 Central European species of Docosia is also presented.</p>

	abstract = {Knowledge of the morphology of Manota unifurcata LUNDSTR{\"O}M, 1913 is deepened by a detailed description and illustration of the male genitalia. Based on a study of the characters of the male genitalia in specimens from various countries, it is reconfirmed that M. unifurcata is the only species of Manota WILLISTON in Europe. Its geographic distribution is reviewed, and is augmented by new records from Germany and the first records from Sweden. The relationships of M. unifurcata to other Manota species are discussed. It appears that the species is rather isolated from other Manota in terms of both morphology and geographic distribution. The presence of a male hind tibial organ, which is described here, is a synapomorphous character shown by at least 4 of the 5 East Palaearctic species of Manota. These species and several Oriental Manota, for which presence or absence of the tibial organ is unknown, have several male genitalia characters in common, a fact that indicates their close relationships. Manota ibanezi HIPPA \& HUERTA, 2009 from Mexico is shown to occur also in the north-eastern United States (Maine and New York). These are the first records of a named Manota species from the Nearctic Region. Possible explanations for the rarity of Manota in both North America and Europe are discussed.},

	volume = {203},
	year = {2008},
	pages = {175-184},
	abstract = {A first study of the pollination biology of a Mediterranean Aristolochia species in its natural habitat is presented. In all, 183 flowers of Aristolochia pallida Willd. were investigated, which in total contained 73 arthropods, dominated by two groups of Diptera, black fungus gnats (Sciaridae representing 37\%) and scuttle flies (Phoridae representing 19\%), respectively. However, only Phoridae are regarded as potential pollinators, since pollen has been found exclusively on the body of these insects. All Phoridae belong to the genus Megaselia and are recognised as three morpho-species. The measurements of flower and insect dimensions suggest that size is an important constraint for successful pollination: (a) the insects must have a definitive size for being able to enter the flower and (b) must be able to get in touch with the pollen. Only very few insect groups found in A. pallida fulfil these size requirements. However, size alone is not a sufficient filter as too many fly species of the same size might be trapped but not function as pollinators. Instead, specific attraction is required as otherwise pollen is lost. Since all trapped Phoridae are males, a chemical attraction (pheromones) is proposed as an additional constraint. Since the flowers are protogynous, the record of Megaselia loaded with pollen found in a flower during its female stage proves that this insect must have had visited at least one different flower during its male stage before. Further on, this observation provides strong evidence that the flowers are cross-pollinated. All these factors indicate a highly specialised pollination of A. pallida by Megaselia species.},

	abstract = {This report is the first comprehensive study on sciarids within the
	Caribbean fauna, which includes 50 species belonging to 11 genera,
	44 of them new to science. Forty five species were collected in the
	Dominican Republic, five in Puerto Rico. The species belong to the
	following genera: Leptosciarella (2), Pseudosciara (4, two of them
	previously known), Chaetosciara (1), Cratyna (1), Hyperlasion (2,
	one of them previously known), Pseudolycoriella (13), Bradysia (16,
	one of them previously known), Scatopsciara (5), Corynoptera (2),
	Keilbachia (1) and Epidapus (3, one of them previously known).
	
	Assessing the Caribbean fauna is handicapped by lack of information
	on sciarids from neighboring mainland{\textquoteright}s, especially Florida and South
	America. Nevertheless, due to thorough knowledge of the sciarid fauna
	of the Palaearctic Region and partial knowledge of that of the Nearctic
	Region and Central America, we can say that Caribbean sciarids show
	great similarities to Holarctic faunistic elements. This is particularly
	true for Leptosciarella, Chaetosciara, Keilbachia, Scatopsciara,
	most species of Bradysia, Corynoptera and Epidapus, and at least
	partly also for Pseudolycoriella. The only endemic Neotropical genus
	is Pseudosciara with four described species, and the two species
	of the Bradysia pararufescens group.},
