“…A single specimen was hand-collected, pinned and examined under a Zeiss Stemi 2000 stereomicroscope. The specimen was identified using a dichotomous key of Western Palaearctic-inhabiting species of the genus Aphria ( Cerretti 2010 ), as well as with original descriptions including Eastern Palaearctic and Nearctic species ( Townsend 1891 , Townsend 1908 , Villeneuve 1908 , Mesnil 1963 , Richter 1978 , Herting 1984 ). DNA was extracted from one leg using NucleoSpin Macherey-Nagel DNA extraction kit.…”

The Canary Islands are an archipelago of volcanic origin, located off north-west Africa comprising eight islands. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are the oldest (20 and 15 millon years old, respectively) and the easternmost islands. The order Diptera is one of the most relevant taxa in the Canary Islands as they constitute the second highest species richness. Within this order, the family Tachinidae is especially interesting as all species are endoparasitoids of arthropods and most species play a key role as pollinators. In the Canary Islands, the family comprises 52 species, with Fuerteventura and Lanzarote harbouring up to 20 species each. Aphria latifrons, a Palaearctic tachinid fly, is reported for the first time from the Canary Islands, where it was found on Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Morphological examination was carried out and the first known barcode of the species is presented. Its potential distribution and source of origin are discussed.

“…Based on the taxonomic arrangement of Loewia by Mesnil (1973), Ziegler (1996) and Richter (1998) respectively assigned L. cretica and L. montivaga to the subgenus Fortisia. Although Loewia aragvicola was described by Richter (1972) before the publication of Mesnil's (1973) revision of Palaearctic Loewia, it was not treated by Mesnil. According to the original description L. aragvicola possesses a unique combination of character states that prevents it from being assigned to one of the above mentioned subgenera, namely: large size, parafacial bare, three strongest basal postpronotal setae arranged in a line, three presutural dorsocentral setae, two katepisternal setae, two posthumeral setae, one anepimeral seta, and one lateral scutellar seta.…”

The new species Loewia papei sp. nov. from southern Anatolia (Turkey) is described, illustrated and compared with congeners. A brief diagnosis of Loewia Egger is provided and the systematics of the genus are discussed. Loewia nudigena Mesnil, 1972 is fixed as the type species of Fortisia Rondani, 1861 (junior synonym of Loewia). A full list of previously known valid species of Loewia is provided along with information on primary types, type repositories (where known), and type localities. A lectotype is designated for Thrychogena brevifrons Rondani, 1856 (= Loewia brevifrons (Rondani, 1856)).

O’Hara et al 2009 ); Aesia Richter, 2011, known from the type locality of Wrangel Island (Russia) ( Richter 2011 ).…”

We provide a general overview of features and technical specifications of an original interactive key web application for the identification of Palaearctic Tachinidae genera. The full list of terminal taxa included in the key, which is the most updated list of genera currently recorded for the Palaearctic Region, is given. We also briefly discuss the need for dealing with detailed and standardized taxa descriptions as a base to keep matrix-based interactive tools easily updated, by proposing a standardized protocol.
