Abstract

ABSTRACT Nepal is a mountainous country in the Central Himalayas, well known for its high biodiversity and unique fauna. The vivid habitat of Nepal seems to possess high diversity of hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae), however, little investigation has been done on these flies in this country. The present study aims to explore the hoverfly fauna based on present field sampling from the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. The field collection includes 454 hoverfly specimens belonging to 34 species from the park with three new country records: Graptomyza nigripes, Lycastris albipes and Volucella trifasciata. The photographs of dorsal and lateral habitus of all 34 collected species are presented. The present collection of hoverfly specimens in the park shows equal number of species in both subfamilies; Eristalinae and Syrphinae while none of the specimen collected from subfamilies Pipizinae and Microdontinae.

尼泊尔中部Shivapuri Nagarjun国家公园食蚜蝇区系研究(双翅目:食蚜科)

尼泊尔是一个位于喜马拉雅山脉中部的多山国家，以其丰富的生物多样性和独特的动物群而闻名。尼泊尔生动的生境似乎拥有丰富的食蚜蝇(双翅目:食蚜科)的多样性，但在该国对食蚜蝇的调查却很少。本研究的目的是在Shivapuri Nagarjun国立公园实地取样的基础上，探索食蚜蝇区系。野外采集了34种454只食蚜蝇标本，并记录了3个新的国家记录:黑斑食蚜蝇、白斑食蚜蝇和三叉食蚜蝇。并对采集到的34种生境进行了背侧生境的拍摄。目前收集到的公园内食蚜蝇标本显示，两个亚科的种类数量相等;而没有从Pipizinae亚科和microdoninae亚科收集标本。

期刊介绍： Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
