Adult males and females were collected in early spring in a Malaise trap in a paper birch-red maple-black cherry woods adjacent to black ash swamp and cattail marsh. The late March collection date is the earliest reported from the eastern United States for any species of the genus according to the literature examined. Boletina michigana Taber will sometimes key out to Boletina obscura Johannsen using keys based upon non-genitalic morphology, but male terminalia indicate a specific difference instead.1 aTaber, Stephen, W.  uhttp://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.3958/059.036.031101498nas a2200133   4500008004100000245007900041210006900120260003200189300001200221490000800233520106000241100001601301856004701317       2011                        eng d00aSix new species of Acomoptera from North America (Diptera, Mycetophilidae)0 aSix new species of Acomoptera from North America Diptera Mycetop  bPensoft Publishersc10/2011  a41–760 v1373 a<p> Six new species are described, raising the number of North American Acomoptera species to seven and the genus total to ten, and nearly doubling the number of species within the putative clade containing Acomoptera, Drepanocercus, and Paratinia. These novel species forms have implications for the concept of Acomoptera that in turn, may impact our understanding of its generic relationships and the evolution and composition of Gnoristinae and Sciophilinae. The new species, A. crispa, A. digitata, A. echinosa, A. forculata, A. nelsoni, and A. vockerothi, are compared with the type species of the genus, A. plexipus (Garrett), whose diagnostic features are imaged and illustrated for the first time. The European species, A. difficilis (Dziedzicki) is also illustrated and compared. Acomoptera spinistyla (S&oslash;li) comb. nov is transferred from Drepanocercus. A key to species is provided. Future work will seek to incorporate this knowledge into a systematic phylogenetic study of relationships between these species and their sister taxa. </p>1 aKerr, Peter  uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.137.176401953nas a2200157   4500008004100000022001300041245009400054210006900148300001200217490000700229520141100236100002301647700002501670700001801695856008201713       2011                        eng d  a0300325600aTowards a molecular phylogeny of the fungus gnat genus Boletina (Diptera: Mycetophilidae)0 aTowards a molecular phylogeny of the fungus gnat genus Boletina   a272-2810 v403 aBoletina is a species rich genus of fungus gnats (Diptera: Mycetophilidae) with a mainly Holarctic distribution. The systematics within the genus has gained little attention and this is a first attempt to shed some light over the systematics of Boletina and to test the segregation of the genera Saigusaia and Aglaomyia from Boletina. The nuclear marker 28S and mitochondrial 16S, COI and CytB were amplified and sequenced for 23 taxa that were analysed separately and together with a broad sample of outgroup taxa obtained from GenBank, where also 18S sequences were added. Phylogenies were estimated using maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference and parsimony. We strengthen the hypothesized sister-group relationship between Docosia and Boletina, but the genus Boletina as currently delimited appears to be paraphyletic and nested in a clade together with Aglaomyia, Coelosia and Gnoriste. The genus Saigusaia, on the other hand, seems to be well separated from Boletina. The Boletina erythropyga species group is consistently found as a distinct basal clade within Boletina s.l. The results obtained are otherwise ambiguous both for the taxa in focus and in some analyses globally with a statistically supported total breakdown of the traditional higher classification into tribes, subfamilies and even families. Interestingly, this breakdown almost disappeared when additional 18S sequences were added.1 aMartinsson, Svante1 aKjærandsen, Jostein1 aSundberg, Per  uhttp://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1463-6409.2011.00474.x/suppinfo#00623nas a2200205   4500008004100000022001400041245007700055210006900132300001000201490000700211653001700218653001400235653001300249653002600262100001800288700001900306700002500325700001800350856004900368       2011                        eng d  a1616-504700aThe early bat catches the fly: Daylight foraging in soprano pipistrelles0 aearly bat catches the fly Daylight foraging in soprano pipistrel  a87-890 v7610aBeech forest10aDipterans10aForaging10aPipistrellus pygmaeus1 aRusso, Danilo1 aCistrone, Luca1 aGaronna, Antonio, P.1 aJones, Gareth  uhttps://sciaroidea.myspecies.info/node/44658
