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

(1)对北方的双翅目高等昆虫进行了分类、鉴定、分布记录和生态多样性研究。(2)首席研究员在本研究中得出以下结果：（1）研究了寄生于毒蛾和蝴蝶的Sturmia属，并在日本发现一新种。（2）修订了Dexiomimops，在亚洲南部和太平洋地区发现7个新种，并认为是北方Eriothrix的南方对应种。（iv）从生态多样性的角度对寄蝇科中寄主范围最广、世界分布最广的密尾寄蝇Compsilura conconcilia进行了研究。(3)Shinonaga Satoshi完成了日本Museumae的系统工作，并将其作为专著出版。(4)仓桥广武致力于亚洲和欧洲丽蝇科的类型，并将很快完成家庭的修订分类。(5)James O'Hara系统地研究了北美和欧亚寄蝇亚科，并在北方半球确认了Polideini。(6)托马斯·佩普研究了南亚的石蛾，发现了三种被抽蕊花吸引的新物种。

(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.
