Melanostoma scalare (Meigen) larvae (Diptera, Syrphidae) feed on Diptera larvae in leaf litter
In winter 2016, Melanostoma scalare (Meigen) larvae (Diptera, Syrphidae) were found in woodland leaf litter and, in culture, were observed catching and feeding on coo-occurring larvae of Lonchopteridae, Lauxaniidae and Limoniidae (Diptera). Tactile contact with prey elicited capture behaviour. This involved turning prey upside down and piercing the underside with...Wilkinson, Geoffrey ; Rotheray, Graham E

Improving knowledge of the cyclorrhaphan larva (Diptera)
A significant factor in the evolution of the Cyclorrhapha (Diptera), the most biodiverse of higher dipteran taxa, is the larva. The larva also has wide-ranging trophic and environmental relationships, including positive and negative impacts on human health and wealth. Despite its importance, the larva is neglected and a low proportion...Rotheray, Graham E

A new species of Nepenthosyrphus De Meijere (Diptera: Syrphidae)
A new species of Nepenthosyrphus De Meijere, 1932 (Diptera: Syrphidae), reared from flasks of pitcher plants (Nepenthaceae) is described from Indonesia. It is closely related to the Nepenthosyrphus oudemansi de Meijere, 1932 but can be distinguished, in both sexes, by the colour pattern of the abdomen and additionally in the...Rotheray, Graham E ; Hancock, E Geoffrey ; Thornham, D G

The puparium of Meoneura lamellata Collin (Diptera, Carnidae) and records of three other carnids from bird and mammal nests
Rearing data for four species of Carnidae (Diptera) are presented from material obtained in the 1930s by E.B. Basden. 387 specimens of the Meoneura lamellata Collin, 1930 were reared, almost exclusively from nests of the sand martin, Riparia riparia. 533 specimens of the Meoneura neottiophila Collin, 1930 came from nests...Rotheray, Graham E

Nematocera flies recorded in Serra do Courel, northwest Spain, May 2012 (Diptera: Anisopodidae, Blepharoceridae, Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae, Tipulidae and Trichoceridae) including descriptions of two new species of Limoniidae
During May 2012 Diptera were sampled in the Serro do Courel area of Lugo Province, Galicia, northwest Spain. The authors of this paper, members of the Malloch Society (see website) are active in attempting to understand the detailed ecology of flies. Much of this work is through targeting larval stages...
