A Systematic Study of Rivellia Robineau-Desvoidy in Korea, with Emphasis on the Species Allied to Rivellia basilaris (Diptera: Platystomatidae)

Revised Key and Phylogenetic Analysis of Korean Rivellia (Diptera: Platystomatidae), with Redescriptions of Two Little Known Species

“…We later treated five additional species (incl. two new species), and provided a preliminary cladogram of Korean Rivellia species (Byun et al, 2001). In this study, we phylogenetically redefined two Rivellia species groups, namely the R. syngenesiae and R. basilaris groups, which were previously recognized by Hara (1993Hara ( , 1994 based on the species from Far Eastern Asia.…”

“…Since the genus Rivellia was erected by Robineau Desvoidy (1830), 152 species have been reported in the world. In Palaearctic Region, 25 species were recognized so far (Hendel, 1914;Enderlein, 1937;Hennig, 1945;Frey, 1964;Hara, 1989Hara, , 1992Hara, , 1993Hara, , 1994Korneyev, 2001;Byun et al, 1998Byun et al, , 2001. Rivellia has been considered as a monophyletic group based on their phytophagous habit in larval stage while most other platystomatids are saprophagous (McAlpine, 1973;McMichael et al, 1990).…”

“…As a result of our effort to investigate Korean Platystomatidae, we have previously recognized 12 species of Rivellia in Korea (Byun et al, 1998(Byun et al, , 2001, among which R. asiatica was not confirmed based on actual specimens. We initially described six Korean species (incl.…”

A List of North Korean Tephritoid Species (Diptera: Tephritoidea) Deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum

“…This species is similar to R. cestoventris Byun and Suh in wing pattern, but distinguished by the following characteristics (Byun et al, 2001) (Fig. 3E): 1) scutum with dorsocentral seta; and 2) without distinctive postgenal seta.…”

A Checklist of the Families Lonchaeidae, Pallopteridae, Platystomatidae, and Ulidiidae (Insecta: Diptera: Tephritoidea) in Korea with Notes on 12 Species New to Korea

“…This species is similar to Rivellia flaviventris Hendel but can be distinguished by its shiny clypeus, whereas the latter species has a clypeus laterally whitish pruinose. They can be further distinguished by their male genitalic structures (Byun et al, 2001 Remarks. This species is similar to Rivellia nigroapicalis Byun and Suh in wing pattern but can be distinguished by the subcostal band not joined with the radial-medial band at crossvein R-M, whereas these two bands are clearly joined at crossvein R-M in the latter species, (Fig.…”
