“…The species composition of the hippoboscid fauna of Slovakia is relatively well known, and is, in comparison with other European countries, unexpectedly diverse. In Table 1, a list of European hippoboscid faunas is given, based on Petersen (2004) and Pape et al (2015) and supplemented with data from relatively recent regional checklists (Büttiker 1998, Chandler 1998, Müller 1999, Beuk 2001, Draber-Monko 1991, Pape et al 1995, Papp 2001, Carles-Tolrá and Báez 2002, Sychra 2009, Pohjoismäki and Kahanpää 2014, present paper).…”

The list of all known locality and host records from the literature on louse flies from Slovakia are summarized, with the addition of new collection data. New locality data are provided for five species. Three species are added to the Slovakian list: Icostaminor (Bigot in Thomson, 1858), which was erroneously cited for Moravia instead of Slovakia in the previous checklist, and Ornithophilametallica (Schiner, 1864) and Ornithomyachloropus (Bergroth, 1901), which were overlooked from the last checklist. As a result, the louse fly fauna of Slovakia increases to 19 species: 12 autochtonous species and seven rare, non-native species only occasionally imported to Slovakia or migrating to the country with their hosts. This is by far the largest regional fauna of Hippoboscidae in Central Europe, and matches the richest southern European faunas. In total, 78 host-parasite associations concerning 46 bird-host species from eight orders and nine species of mammals, including humans, have been found from a literature review in Slovakia. Two host-parasite associations are reported from Slovakia for the first time: Ornithomyaavicularia (Linnaeus, 1758) on Prunellamodularis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Aves: Prunellidae) and Lipoptenafortisetosa Maa, 1965 on Homosapiens Linnaeus, 1758 (Mammalia: Hominidae).

DNA Barcodes for the Northern European Tachinid Flies (Diptera: Tachinidae)

2016

This data release provides COI barcodes for 366 species of parasitic flies (Diptera: Tachinidae), enabling the DNA based identification of the majority of northern European species and a large proportion of Palearctic genera, regardless of the developmental stage. The data will provide a tool for taxonomists and ecologists studying this ecologically important but challenging parasitoid family. A comparison of minimum distances between the nearest neighbors revealed the mean divergence of 5.52% that is approximately the same as observed earlier with comparable sampling in Lepidoptera, but clearly less than in Coleoptera. Full barcode-sharing was observed between 13 species pairs or triplets, equaling to 7.36% of all species. Delimitation based on Barcode Index Number (BIN) system was compared with traditional classification of species and interesting cases of possible species oversplits and cryptic diversity are discussed. Overall, DNA barcodes are effective in separating tachinid species and provide novel insight into the taxonomy of several genera.

“…Not much is known about the fecundity of bird louse flies, but a single female sheep ked ( Melophagus ovinus (Linnaeus)) produces 12–15 [ 13 ] and tsetse flies up to eight larvae during the female’s lifetime [ 14 ]. Of the 45 European species of Hippoboscidae, only 12 have been recorded in Finland [ 15 ] and of these, seven attack birds: Crataerina hirundinis (Linnaeus), C . pallida (Olivier), Olfersia fumipennis (Sahlberg), Ornithomya avicularia (Linnaeus), O .…”

Promiscuous specialists: Host specificity patterns among generalist louse flies

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ectoparasites such as louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) have tendency for host specialization, which is driven by adaptation to host biology as well as competition avoidance between parasites of the same host. However, some louse fly species, especially in genera attacking birds, show wide range of suitable hosts. In the presented study, we have surveyed the current status of bird specific louse flies in Finland to provide comprehensive host association data to analyse the ecological requirements of the generalist species. A thorough sampling of 9342 birds, representing 134 species, recovered 576 specimens of louse flies, belonging to six species: Crataerina hirundinis, C. pallida, Ornithomya avicularia, O. chloropus, O. fringillina and Ornithophila metallica. Despite some overlapping hosts, the three Ornithomya species showed a notable pattern in their host preference, which was influenced not only by the host size but also by the habitat and host breeding strategy. We also provide DNA barcodes for ten Finnish species of Hippoboscidae, which can be used as a resource for species identification as well as metabarcoding studies in the future.
