Mormotomyia hirsuta Thyreophora cynophila rediscoveries of 2010. Which will be the next fly rediscovery?

Andre Burgers 08 December 2010 16:55:58

Mormotomyia hirsuta rediscovered!!!

Andrzej 07 December 2010 19:57:02

It should be named as a thysanopter fly or thrips-like fly

rvanderweele 07 December 2010 19:45:16

Truly, Jorge, when I saw the fly at first I thought it was a sunspider!

jorgemotalmeida 07 December 2010 12:32:10

I would never expect that a fly could be so similar as a solifugid! Incredible!

I just ran a 5km with my wife. It is here now -3degr. C. The coming days temperatures will go up again.

jorgemotalmeida 03 December 2010 20:41:23

Nearly -1 ºC here in Viseu. Very atypical temperature for this region.

rvanderweele 03 December 2010 20:23:37

Daniel, I would like to add that there are many more species of other families with the characteristic, which you mention.

rvanderweele 03 December 2010 20:22:20

No, a family is not really characterized or defined by a single character. Most Sphaeroceridae have certainly the first segment of hind tarsi short and swollen, but it is one of many characteristics

daniel86 03 December 2010 19:53:50

question!... in Sphaeroceridae, the first segment of hind tarsi short, swollen, shorter than second segment, is the characteristic that it defines the family?
