Invertebrates of Scandinavian caves IX. Acari: Mesostigmata (Gamasina), with a complete list of mites

Acarologia (2000)

Lars Lundqvist Heikki Hippa Seppo Koponen

Six caves from Scandinavia - two from South Sweden, two from the Baltic island of Gotland, and two from Norway near the Arctic Circle - were investigated for invertebrates by means of pitfall traps and by hand-picking. 1,765 Gamasina mites were found and determined to species and developmental stages. 37 species in 9 families were identified. One species alone, Parasitus loricatus, made up 75.0% of the total number of mites. Six other species, viz. Poecilochirus carabi, Vulgarogamasus oudemansi, Pergamasus robustus, Vulgarogamasus remberti, Cyrtolaelaps mucronatus and Vulgarogamasus kraepelini made up another 20.2% of the total number of mites. The numbers of individuals and species in this investigation exceeded by far those usually reported from investigations of caves in Europe, probably due to our use of pitfall traps.

The genus Dichopygina gen. n. (Diptera: Sciaridae)

Insect Systematics & Evolution (2004)

Pekka Vilkamaa Heikki Hippa Lyudmila A. Komarova

Abstract The Northern Hemispheric sciarid species placed in the nigrohalteralis group of Corynoptera Winnertz are a monophyletic unit, which is described as a new genus Dichopygina gen. n. (type-species Bradysia (Chaetosciara) triseriata var nigrohalteralis Frey). The genus is Holarctic in distribution and includes the following species which are keyed and described: Dichopygina aculeata sp. n. (Holarctic), D. bernhardi sp. n. (Palaearctic), D. duplicis sp. n. (Nearctic), D. intermedia (Mohrig & Krivosheina) (Palaearctic), D. nigrohalteralis (Frey) (Holarctic), D. ramosa sp. n. (Palaearctic) and D. stricta sp. n. (Nearctic). Our previously published cladistic analysis suggests that the species now included in Dichopygina gen. n. are sister taxa to a large clade including the current Lycoriella Frey and elements of Corynoptera and Bradysia Winnertz. Corynoptera acanthostyla Tuomikoski and the New Zealand species referred to the Corynoptera nigrohalteralis group are excluded.

Phylogeny of Peyerimhoffia Kieffer, with the revision of the species (Diptera: Sciaridae)

Insect Systematics & Evolution (2004)

Heikki Hippa Pekka Vilkamaa

Abstract The genus Peyerimhoffia Kieffer (type-species Sciara vagabunda Winnertz), currently classified as a subgenus of Cratyna Winnertz (type-species Cratyna atra Winnertz) is redefined and its phylogeny studied by parsimony analysis. Cladistic analysis using sixty-four morphological characters from adult males of sixty-six ingroup and one outgroup species produced thirty most parsimonious cladograms. The strict consensus cladogram of these showed unambiguously that the type-species of Peyerimhoffia and the species currently referred to the Corynoptera crassistylata group form a monophyletic unit. The phylogenetic hypothesis obtained also suggested that Cratyna s.l. in its current concept is non-monophyletic and that Peyerimhoffia deserves generic status. The genus is Holarctic-Oriental in distribution and includes the following species, which are keyed and described or diagnosed: Peyerimhoffia alpina (Mohrig) (Austrian Alps, Italy, Spain, Canada: Quebec), P. calva sp.n. (Nepal), P. collina sp.n. (Russia: Altay region), P. crassistylata (Frey) (central and northern Europe, Altay region, Kurile Islands), P. curvata (Mohrig & Mamaev) (Russia: Tuva region), P. infera sp.n. (northern Europe), P. ioculatoria (Mohrig) (Nepal), P. menzeli sp.n. (northern Europe), P. obtusicauda (Strobl) (southern Europe), P. semicurvata (Mohrig) (Nepal, Burma), P. subcurvata (Mohrig) (Nepal), P. thula sp.n. (northern Europe), P. ultima sp.n. (Nepal), and P. vagabunda (Winnertz) (Europe, eastern Palaearctic). Plastosciara perniciosa Edwards, Hyperlasion curtipennis Edwards, and Plastosciara hybrida Mohrig & Mamaev are excluded, the former appearing more closely related to Epidapus Haliday, the latter two to Spathobdella Frey.

Review of the Nearctic Claustropyga Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig (Diptera, Sciaridae) with the description of three new species

Zootaxa (2007)

Pekka Vilkamaa Heikki Hippa

The following new species are described from Canada: Claustropyga mirifica sp. n. from Quebec and C. spicea sp. n. and C. triloba sp. n. from the Yukon. C. aperta Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, previously known from Europe, and C. simplicis Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, previously known from Ontario, are recorded from Vancouver Island, British Columbia. C. auriculata Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, previously known from the Palaearctic region and from Alaska, and C. obtusidens Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig, previously known from Europe, are recorded from the Yukon. The diagnostic characters of all the Nearctic species are discussed. In addition to the above-mentioned species, the Nearctic fauna of Claustropyga includes C. acanthostyla (Tuomikoski), C. elizabethae Hippa, Vilkamaa & Mohrig and C. subcorticis (Mohrig & Krivosheina). A key to the known species of Claustropyga is given.

The genus Sciarotricha gen. n. (Sciaridae) and the phylogeny of recent and fossil Sciaroidea (Diptera)

Insect Systematics & Evolution (2005)

Pekka Vilkamaa Heikki Hippa

Abstract The phylogeny of the main groups of the Sciaroidea, including the fossil Antefungivoridae, Archizelmiridae, Mesosciophilidae, Pleciofungivoridae, Pleciomimidae, Protopleciidae and Bolitophilidae: Mangasinae, and an extant new taxon, was studied by parsimony analysis. Two cladistic analyses of seventy-eight morphological characters from adults were made. One analysis, with forty-one extant taxa in the ingroup and the other, with the addition of twelve fossil taxa, both produced two most parsimonious cladograms. The phylogenetic hypotheses obtained differed from each other, and in part also to a great extent from previous ones although most of the traditionally recognized groups appeared monophyletic, including the speciose Cecidomyiidae and Sciaridae. The Cecidomyiidae (fossil analysis) or the Keroplatidae-Ditomyiidae (extant analysis) appeared as the sister-group of the rest of the Sciaroidea. Following on from these analyses, we propose emending the current Sciaridae to include the following subfamilies: Archizelmirinae stat. n., Rangomaraminae stat. n., Sciarinae, Sciarosominae subfam. n. and Sciarotrichinae subfam. n. A new taxon from Namibia, Sciarotricha biloba gen. n., sp. n. is described, and, according to the phylogenetic analysis, is placed in the Sciaridae (Sciarotrichinae). The sister-group of the Sciaridae as newly defined is the Mycetophilidae group, in the extant analysis including the Mycetophilidae, Manotidae, Lygistorrhinidae, Pterogymnus and Sciaropota, and in the fossil analysis even including the Mesosciophilidae and the Ohakunea group (Ohakunea + Colonomyia).

A remarkable new species of Chalcosyrphus Curran from the Oriental Region (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Zootaxa (2015)

Martin Hauser Heikki Hippa

Chalcosyrphus blanki sp. nov. is described from material collected in China, Thailand and Burma. The new species is outstanding because of its size and metallic blue coloration. It is remarkable that only a few specimens have been found so far, all from different countries and only with Malaise traps. The species was only collected at altitudes above 2500 m. It fits very well in the genus Chalcosyrphus, but cannot be placed in any existing subgenus.
