Taxonomic revision of the Tabanus nebulosus species group (Diptera: Tabanidae)

Zootaxa (2025)

Maria Carolina Pimenta Dutra Dalton de Souza Amorim Daniel Dias Dornelas do Carmo

The genus Tabanus Linnaeus, 1758 is the most species-rich in the family Tabanidae (Diptera: Brachycera), with about 1,350 valid species. Evidence suggests that the genus is not monophyletic, i.e., there are some smaller clades also with generic rank that phylogenetically fit inside Tabanus. To deal with the complexity of the genus, previous research divided the Neotropical Tabanus fauna into nine groups of species based on morphological similarity. The T. nebulosus group has a considerably uniform morphology among its twelve species and there is evidence that it corresponds to a small clade within the genus. There are records of economic importance of the species of the group. Some species are potential vectors of bovine trypanosomiasis, which causes severe anemia and weight loss in cattle. There are pending issues in the taxonomy of this group, both in terms of a better understanding of the species composition and of species delimitation. This paper corresponds to a taxonomical review of the species related to T. nebulosus. Here we provide a diagnosis of the known species of the group, a pictorial key with high-definition images, and updated distribution maps for the valid species. Also, considering the limits of each species based on a careful morphological assessment of the group, the status of Tabanus ornativenris Kröber is evaluated and Tabanus vestigium sp. nov. is described from the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

Checklist of the dipterofauna (Insecta) from Roraima, Brazil, with special reference to the Brazilian Ecological Station of Maracá

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia (2022)

Paula Raile Riccardi Diego Aguilar Fachin Rosaly Ale‐Rocha Edna Maria Amaral Dalton de Souza Amorim

Roraima is a Brazilian state located in the northern portion of the Amazon basin, with few studies regarding its biodiversity. The Ecological Station of Maracá (Brazil, state of Roraima) harbors the third largest Brazilian pluvial island and is composed of a transitional landscape of savanna and Amazon rainforest components. Despite its ecological importance and strategic localization, few studies covered the dipterofauna of this locality. An updated checklist addressing 41 families of true flies (Diptera) occurring in Roraima is presented based on the literature and the specimens collected during a field expedition that occurred in 2015. This checklist brings several improvements such as new records of 165 taxa to the state of Roraima, 29 taxa to Brazil, and 259 morphotypes, mostly likely representing undescribed species.

FAMILY RHAGIONIDAE

Zootaxa (2016)

Charles Morphy D. Santos Daniel Dias Dornelas do Carmo

The family Rhagionidae is one of the oldest Brachyeran lineages. Its monophyly is still uncertain. There are four rhagionid genera distributed in Neotropical Region but only three species of Chrysopilus are found in Colombia.

Morfologia e implicações filogenéticas das terminálias masculina e feminina dos Rhagionidae (Diptera, Brachycera, Tabanomorpha) Neotropicais

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia (2012)

Daniel Dias Dornelas do Carmo Charles Morphy D. Santos

Apresentamos uma investigacao comparativa da morfologia das terminalias masculina e feminina de generos da familia Rhagionidae (Diptera, Brachycera, Tabanomorpha) com distribuicao neotropical. Partindo do plano basico de Brachycera, hipoteses de homologias entre as pecas reprodutivas sao levantadas e analisadas em um contexto comparativo. Os resultados sugerem que as condicoes presentes em Rhagionidae sao no geral muito modificadas quando comparadas com o ancestral comum mais recente de Brachycera. Este trabalho apresenta uma hipotese filogenetica heuristica cujos resultados podem servir como base para o entendimento da grande diversificacao morfologica das terminalias masculina e feminina dos ragionideos, apontando para a solucao de algumas controversias a respeito da morfologia das estruturas reprodutivas do grupo.

The oldest Gondwanan fossil of Leiinae (Diptera, Mycetophilidae): Phylogenetic and evolutionary implications

Cladistics (2022)

Dalton de Souza Amorim Sarah Siqueira Oliveira Daniel Dias Dornelas do Carmo Guilherme Cunha Ribeiro

Abstract A fossil Mycetophilidae from the Aptian Crato Formation— Cretomanota gondwanica gen. nov., sp. nov.—is described, which is the first mycetophilid from the Crato Formation and corresponds to the oldest known fossil leiine and only the second Gondwanan fossil mycetophilid described so far. Cretomanota gondwanica and both species of Alavamanota Blagoderov and Arillo were added as terminals to the data matrix of a general phylogenetic analysis of the Mycetophilidae, and both fit into the Leiinae. Alavamanota is monophyletic, sister to the clade composed by Cretomanota and the extant genus Manota Williston. The biology of the extant members of this fungivorous family corroborates the reconstruction of the Crato palaeoenvironment as including woodlands with humid habitats and microhabitats. The presence of a Cretaceous member of the tribe Manotini at low latitudes in South America reinforces the hypothesis that the clade with all manotines except Leiella Edwards corresponds to a Lower Cretaceous offshoot from a group in southern Gondwana expanding its distribution to more northern areas into the Gondwana and into Laurasia.

Análise filogenética e morfológica da subfamília pangoniinae (Diptera: Tabanidae), com ênfase na tribo Scionini

Daniel Dias Dornelas do Carmo

Herein we present a comparative study of the adult head morphology of the Pangoniinae (Diptera: Tabanidae), emphasizing the variation present in the tribe Scionini.In the Pangoniinae, the remarkable variation in head parts is an important source of characters useful in morphological studies about the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships among the species of this subfamily.Electron micrographs show a distinct concavity in the second palpomere of some Pangoniinae species, indicating a possible sensorial function that may relate to the search for food or mates.The winding of the apical portion of the labium of Fidena Walker, 1850, which suggests the ability of movement of the structure during feeding, is also described for the first time.The head of the specimens analyzed were illustrated and the relevant structures pointed out.

On the systematic position of Cretothereva (Diptera, Therevidae): criticism versus evidence

Historical Biology (2023)

Guilherme Cunha Ribeiro Daniel Dias Dornelas do Carmo Carlos José Einicker Lamas

An extinct genus and species of Diptera – Cretothereva antiqua – has recently been described from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil (Crato Formation). The fossil has been assigned to the family Therevidae and, according to its authors, would represent the oldest known member of the family of the entire Therevoid clade, with important implications for the evolutionary history of the group. A recent paper written by several Diptera experts challenges the systematic position of Cretothereva antiqua, but without a detailed assessment of the evidences. The evidence for the systematic position of this important fossil is reassessed. We argue that criticism of scientific hypotheses must be based on formal discussion of evidence, not based only on conjecture.

Morfologia comparada das terminálias masculina e feminina dos rhagionidae (Diptera, Tabanomorpha) neotropicais

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia (2011)

Daniel Dias Dornelas do Carmo Charles Morphy D. Santos

Apresentamos uma investigação comparativa da morfologia das terminálias masculina e feminina de gêneros da família Rhagionidae (Diptera, Brachycera, Tabanomorpha) com distribuição neotropical. Partindo do plano básico de Brachycera, hipóteses de homologias entre as peças reprodutivas foram analisadas em um contexto comparativo. Os resultados sugerem que as condições presentes em Rhagionidae são no geral muito modificadas quando comparadas com o ancestral comum mais recente de Brachycera. Este trabalho apresenta uma hipótese filogenética heurística cujos resultados podem servir como base para o entendimento da grande diversificação morfológica das terminálias masculina e feminina dos ragionídeos, apontando para a solução de algumas controvérsias a respeito da morfologia das estruturas reprodutivas do grupo.
