Previously Non-Illustrated Genitalia of Some Known Asilinae Species (Insecta: Diptera: Asilidae)

摘要

Undescribed spermathecae of nine species of Asilidae: Asilinae are illustrated: Anarmostus iopterus (Wiedemann), Dicropaltum rubicundus (Hine), Epipamponeurus americanus Becker, Leinendera rubra Carrera, Lestophonax mallophoroides Hull, Negasilus mesae Tucker, Prolatiforceps anonymus (Williston), Stenasilus tenuis (Wiedemann), and Threnia carbonaria (Wiedemann). Dissections and nomenclature follow Artigas (1971) and Theodor (1976). Specimens used were from the insect collections of the Museo de Zoologia, Universidad de Concepcion, Chile; Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Musee National d' Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France. Differences and similarities between species are discussed.
