Meroplius Rondani 1874
No full textMeroplius Rondani, 1874 Meroplius is awidespread genus but is rarely encountered in Switzerland. Species appear to be attracted to «especially filthy habitats» (Pont &Meier 2002).Published as part of Patrick T. Rohner & Gerhard Bächli, 2016, Faunistic data of Sepsidae (Diptera) from Switzerland and additional countries including the first Swiss record of Meroplius fukuharai (Iwasa, 1984), pp. 237-260 in Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 89 on page 240, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19263
Sepsis biflexuosa Strobl 1893
No full textSepsis biflexuosa Strobl, 1893 Material: Switzerland: BE:Ruppoldsried, 500 m, iv.–x.1987 (leg. Duelli). FR: Nuvilly, 650 m, 2005 (leg. Duelli). GR:Rothenbrunnen, 630 m, 8.viii.1996 (leg. Merz & Bächli). SO:Messen, 500 m, 20.ix.2004 (leg. Wermelinger). VS: Leuk/Platten, 600 m, 3.viii.1998 (leg. Merz &Bächli); Visp, 650 m, 2004 (leg. Duelli). Distribution:Holarctic, Oceanian, Oriental (Ozerov 2005). Comments:This species is relatively rare in Europe but much more common in North America (pers. obs. P. T. Rohner). According to Pont &Meier (2002), this species prefers older cow and buffalo dung, but personal observations do not necessarily support this notion.Published as part of Patrick T. Rohner & Gerhard Bächli, 2016, Faunistic data of Sepsidae (Diptera) from Switzerland and additional countries including the first Swiss record of Meroplius fukuharai (Iwasa, 1984), pp. 237-260 in Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 89 on page 244, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19263
Themira Robineau-Desvoidy 1830
No full textThemira Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 This is arelatively large genus including species of striking disparity. Foreleg modifications are particularly strong and more pronounced than in Sepsis, Saltella, Meroplius and Nemopoda.Many species of Themira are known to breed in waterfowl dung and are thus common near lakes or rivers with large bird populations or other damp places. There are comparably few records for this genus for Switzerland (with the exception of T. annulipes,which is common on cow pastures), and there are likely more species present that have not been recorded yet (Haenni 1997; Rohner 2015).Published as part of Patrick T. Rohner & Gerhard Bächli, 2016, Faunistic data of Sepsidae (Diptera) from Switzerland and additional countries including the first Swiss record of Meroplius fukuharai (Iwasa, 1984), pp. 237-260 in Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 89 on page 255, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19263
Meroplius fukuharai Iwasa 1984
No full textMeroplius fukuharai (Iwasa, 1984) Material: Switzerland: GE:Cartigny, Moulin de Vert, 350 m, 9.viii.2000 (leg. Merz &Bächli); Bernex, Tuilières, 430 m, 12.viii.2000. Distribution:Palaearctic (Ozerov 2005). Comments:There are very few and sporadic records of this species for Europe in general (Pont &Meier 2002). It was not included in published Swiss checklists (Haenni 1998, 1997; Merz et al. 2001; Ozerov 2006; Rohner 2015), and to the best of our knowledge represents anew record for Switzerland (Fig. 1).Published as part of Patrick T. Rohner & Gerhard Bächli, 2016, Faunistic data of Sepsidae (Diptera) from Switzerland and additional countries including the first Swiss record of Meroplius fukuharai (Iwasa, 1984), pp. 237-260 in Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 89 on page 240, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19263
Sepsis pseudomonostigma Ursu 1969
No full textSepsis pseudomonostigma Ursu, 1969 Material: Croatia:Kupari, 16.–19.ix.1979. Turkey:Trapzon, 50 m, 9.–10.vii. 1962; Samsun, 50 m, 14.–16.viii.1962 (all leg. Götz). Distribution:Palaearctic (Ozerov 2005). Comments:Apparently the first record from Croatia. Does not occur in Switzerland.Published as part of Patrick T. Rohner & Gerhard Bächli, 2016, Faunistic data of Sepsidae (Diptera) from Switzerland and additional countries including the first Swiss record of Meroplius fukuharai (Iwasa, 1984), pp. 237-260 in Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 89 on page 252, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19263
Nemopoda Robineau-Desvoidy 1830
No full textNemopoda Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 There are three species of Nemopoda recorded for Switzerland but most records are from N. nitidula,while N. pectinulata and N. speiseri (not present in this collection) are less common. Nemopoda spp. can occasionally be found on cow pastures but are particularly common on wet decaying animal tissue.Published as part of Patrick T. Rohner & Gerhard Bächli, 2016, Faunistic data of Sepsidae (Diptera) from Switzerland and additional countries including the first Swiss record of Meroplius fukuharai (Iwasa, 1984), pp. 237-260 in Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 89 on page 240, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19263
Sepsis nigripes Meigen 1826
No full textSepsis nigripes Meigen, 1826 Material: Switzerland: BE:Rümligen, 540 m, 2001, 2005 (all leg. Duelli). FR: Nuvilly, 650 m, 2001, 2005 (all leg. Duelli). GE:Bernex/Chante-Merle, 420 m, 7.vii.2000 (leg. Merz &Bächli). TG:Roggwil, 420 m, 2004 (leg. Duelli). VD: Senarclens, 600 m, 2000 (leg. Duelli). VS:Mund/Finnen, 1400 m, 21.vi.2014; Visperterminen, 2300 m, 30.vii.1998 (leg. Merz &Bächli). ZH:Rafz, 420 m, 2005 (leg. Duelli); Uitikon, 540 m, 2005 (leg Duelli). Distribution:Palaearctic (Ozerov 2005). Comments: S. nigripes is arare and enigmatic species. It can be difficult to distinguish from S. flavimana and S. biflexuosa,especially small, female specimens (Rohner et al. 2014). Adults have been collected on cow pastures (Rohner et al. 2015), but its ecology and habitat preferences remain unknown.Published as part of Patrick T. Rohner & Gerhard Bächli, 2016, Faunistic data of Sepsidae (Diptera) from Switzerland and additional countries including the first Swiss record of Meroplius fukuharai (Iwasa, 1984), pp. 237-260 in Mitteilungen der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 89 on page 251, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19263
