Study on the phylogeny and diversity of higher Diptera in northern Hemisphere

(1)3名日本人和3名外国工作者对北半球高等双翅目昆虫的高级分类、鉴定、分布记录和生态多样性进行了研究。(2)首席调查员对已知寄生于毒蛾和蝴蝶上的Sturia属进行了系统的研究，并在日本发现了一新种；(Ii)对Dexiomimopps进行了修订，发现了7种在南亚和太平洋地区的新发现，并被认为是Eriothrix北部的南方对应种；(Iii)对东亚的Sihonini部族进行了系统的修订，(Iv)Compsilura conconnata，(3)Shinonaga完成了对日本蝇科的系统研究，并将其作为专著出版。(4)仓桥广务研究了亚洲和欧洲丽蝇科的类型，即将完成对该科的修订分类。(5)James O‘Hara系统地研究了北美和欧亚大陆的Tachinae，并在北半球发现了Polideini。(6)Thomas Pape研究了南亚石棺，发现了3个新物种，吸引了莱夫莱斯花。

(1) Researches of the higher classification, identification, distributional records and ecological diversity were conducted on higher Diptera in northern hemisphere by three Japanese and three foreign workers.(2) Head investigator produced the following results in this study : (I) the genus Sturmia, which is known to be parasitic on poisonous moths and butterflies, were studies and a new species is discovered in Japan, (ii) the Dexiomimops was revised and 7 species are newly found in southern Asia and Pacific area and was considered as a southern counterpart of northern Eriothrix, (iii) tribe Siphonini in East Asia is systematically revised, (iv) Compsilura concinnata, which is widely distributed in the world and which has widest host ranged in Tachinidae, was studied in viewpoint of ecological diversity.(3) Satoshi Shinonaga completed a systematic work of Japanese Muscidae and published it as a monograph.(4) Hiromu Kurahashi worked on types of Asian and European Calliphoridae and will soon complete revised classification of the family.(5) James O'Hara systematically studied north American and Eurasian Tachininae and recognized Polideini in northern hemisphere.(6) Thomas Pape studied south Asian sarcophagids and found 3 new species attracted to rafflesia flowers.
