No full textGeron barbatus Bezzi, 1921 (Fig. 6–7) 34. Geron barbatus 1 Ψ, South Africa (Eastern Cape): Willowmore, 20.xi. 1906 (H. Brauns). MS page 34. Bezzi, 1921 a: 99 – key and diagnosis; specimens from Cape, O’okiep [1 ɗ] & Knysna, x. 1916 (L. Péringuey) [2 ɗ] in SAMC (numbers of specimens and sexes not specified in this paper but determined from notes in Hesse (1938) – see below). Bezzi, 1922: 78 – diagnosis; 1 specimen, “Willowmore, 21. Febr. 1905 in Museo Budapestini”. Bezzi, 1924: 115 – key and description 1 ɗ Simonstown, x. 1894 (P. de la Garde) the partially exposed genitalia of this specimen resemble those of G. meromelanus (Hesse). Hesse, 1938: 952 – description as Amictogeron barbatus from O’okiep male; description (p. 950) of Amictogeron peringueyi Hesse from two males from Knysna – part of Bezzi’s (1921) original type series. Evenhuis & Greathead, 1999: 38 – treated (in error) Bezzi’s (1921 a) and (1924) use of G. barbatus as two separate proposals with separate types and type localities; listed an undetermined number of syntypes in SAMC and two syntypes in MSNM for the 1921 proposal and one syntype in BMNH for the 1924 proposal. Types: Known from at least six syntypes: SAMC (at least 3), HNHM (1; destroyed), MSNM (1 ɗ, Knysna, x. 1916 (L. Péringuey); 1 Ψ, Caledon, x. 1918 (L. Péringuey) but one doubtful) and BMNH (1). The male from O’okiep in SAMC is here designated lectotype. Remarks: This species was established by Bezzi (1921 a) in his key and diagnosis based on specimens from O’okiep and Knysna in SAMC. However, he does not provide the numbers of specimens or their sexes believing that the type specimen was in BMNH. Unfortunately, this type was not published until 1924 and based on different material. The specimens in SAMC mentioned in his 1921 publication are syntypes. Hesse (1938) provided a full redescription (as Amictogeron barbatus) with figures of the genitalia of the single male from O’okiep. He also described a distinct species, Amictogeron peringueyi, on two males from Knysna, which were the specimens referred to G. barbatus by Bezzi (1921 a). Since Amictogeron Hesse has been synonymised with Geron Meigen in which Hesse also proposed a species, Geron peringueyi Hesse, the species described in Amictogeron was renamed Geron hessei Bowden (1974). The listing of an unspecified number of syntypes in SAMC by Evenhuis & Greathead (1999) requires amending to three syntypes [here = lectotype and 2 paralectotypes] in SAMC. The syntypes in MSNM are not mentioned in any of Bezzi’s publications. However, the male from Knysna bears the same date as the two males in SAMC and must have been part of the same series and its status is confirmed. The genitalia are exposed and can be seen to be those of G. peringueyi, which Hesse (1938) described from the two specimens from Knysna in SAMC. The female from Caledon cannot be allocated with certainty to either G. barbatus or G. peringueyi, as there are no associated male specimens. Since no specimens from Caledon are mentioned in Bezzi’s publications, the status of the female as a syntype cannot be confirmed. For stability in the nomenclature the male specimen from O’okiep in SAMC that Hesse (1938) described as A. barbatus (Bezzi) is designated lectotype.Published as part of Greathead, David J. & Evenhuis, Neal L., 2004, New species of Bombylioidea in Mario Bezzi's Unpublished Hungarian Museum Manuscript, pp. 1-56 in Zootaxa 773 on pages 16-17, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15846
A redescription of Tephritis zonogastra Bezzi, 1913 (Diptera: Trypetidae).
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit enthält eine ausführliche Nachbeschreibung von Tephritis zonogastra Bezzi, ES wird vermutet, daß Bezzi\u27s Holotypus, obgleich seine Beschreibung keine Angaben über das Geschlecht enthält, ein Männchen war, so daß hiermit die Neubeschreibung des Weibchens vorgelegt werden kann.Tephritis zonogastra Bezzi is redescribed in detail. It is suggested that although Bezzi in his original description made no mention of the sex,the holotype described by him was a male. The description of the female given by the present author may, therefore, be regarded as new

Geron albifacies Bezzi 1924
No full textGeron albifacies Bezzi, 1924 33. Geron albifacies 1 ɗ Eritrea: Assab, vii. 1907 (Katona). MS page 33. Bezzi, 1924: 113 – key only. Zaitzev, 1972: 863 – described from Mongolia as G. michaili SYN. NOV. with male and female genitalia illustrated. Greathead, 2001 b: 165 – key and diagnosis as G. m i c h a i l i Zaitzev. Evenhuis & Greathead, 1999: 37 – listed one syntype in MSNM. Types: A single specimen in MSNM: 1 ɗ, Eritrea: Assab, vvi. 1907 (Katona) lacking both the antennal flagella, both fore legs and both middle legs. Bezzi based the species on only one specimen. Thus, the specimen in MSNM, which matches the locality data given in Bezzi’s manuscript, is considered the holotype. Remarks: Species of Geron can only reliably be identified from the male and, frequently also, the female genitalia. Examination of the genitalia of the unique specimen of G. albifacies showed that G. michaili is a synonym. After examination of genitalia of specimens from intermediate localities, Greathead (2001 b) showed that Zaitzev’s species from Mongolia is present in Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia as well as Turkmenia and Ukraine. Eritrea can now be added to the list. It is a small species (ca. 4 mm) of the G. gibbosus group but with a pale clypeus and is similar in appearance to the even smaller (ca. 2.5– 3 mm) G. efflatouni Greathead known from Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.Published as part of Greathead, David J. & Evenhuis, Neal L., 2004, New species of Bombylioidea in Mario Bezzi's Unpublished Hungarian Museum Manuscript, pp. 1-56 in Zootaxa 773 on pages 15-16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15846

Glabellula consists of minute flies, 1−2 mm in length; usually shiny black, with or without yellow markings; pubescence sparse, minute. The genus is distinguished from all other mythicomyiids based on the medial interruption of sclerotization on abdominal tergite 2 and in the wing by the tiny marginal cell of the wing formed by vein R 2+3 joining R 1 well before the costa, combined with cell bm united with cell dm (Fig. 4) (reformulated after the versions presented by Hall & Evenhuis (1984) and Evenhuis (2019)).

Ethnoarchaeology of Pastoralism in Valcamonica high pastures
No full textThe high pastures of Vione, in the northern Valcamonica, have been exploited since many centuries by shepherds and people carring out many other activities. A systematic field survey, made by one of the authors in the summer 2017, has found out many structures, most of them probably linked to the pastoral activities. Fourty-seven buildings have been documented, put on a map thanks to the GIS technology and classified in different categories according to their dimensions, shapes and constructive techniques. Thanks to a multidisciplinary approach, data coming from different fields and sources (such as remote sensing, historical cartography, written sources, historical cadastres and place-names) has been combined - and processed with GIS spatial analysis - in order to understand the interaction between structures and territory; understand pastoral strategy and their changes through time; reconstruct the absolute or relative chronology of the structures; understand the relationship between pastoral structures and rock art. The paper will compare the northern Valcamonica situation emerging from this study with those of the two areas used as model for this research: Val di Sole (Trento) and Lessinia (Verona). Some remarks will be made also about the possible relationship between the analysed structures and Valcamonica graffiti
Gastrozona Bezzi 1913
No full textGastrozona Bezzi Gastrozona Bezzi, 1913: 105. Type species Tephritis fasciventris Macquart, by original designation. This genus is closely related to Carpophthorella and Chaetellipsis, differing mainly in head and wing pattern characters. These three genera have the following characters: third antennal segment rounded or only slightly angled at apex, costal setae weak, female with an elongate, apically setose aculeus and the male with long anal papillae (Hancock and Drew, 1999). For details of the genus Gastrozona, refer to Hancock and Drew (1999). Eight species have been listed by Hancock and Drew (1999), of which only one is recorded from Malaysia, namely G. fasciventris (Macquart). Chua (1999), however, listed another species, namely Gastrozona nr. parviseta Hardy. This is now described as Gastrozona selangorensis new species in this paper.Published as part of Chua, T.
