40. Family BOMBYLIIDAE

By Neal L. Evenhuis

Members of the Bombyliidae, commonly called bee flies, are most frequently found in arid and semiarid portions of the world, with a few specialized forms occurring in moist tropical climates. Adults range in size from 1 to 21 mm in length and are commonly found on flowers, hovering in bright sunlight, or resting on warm, bare ground. Many, if not all, are pollen and nectar feeders, with some acting as primary pollinators of certain species of desert wildflowers.

Species found in Australia include some of the most striking species known; many have large, pictured wings and brightly colored cuticular pigmentation or vestiture. There is a great deal of endemism exhibited in the taxa from Australia and the Oceanic islands (Evenhuis 1982b). The Oriental Region seems to be a source for many of the Oceanic taxa, but some of the Australian fauna (viz., Comptosiini and Dischistini) show possible Transantarctic relationships because related genera of the 2 tribes are also found in central and southern Chile. There are over 400 species known from the areas covered in this catalog. As the fauna from these areas, especially the Australian, becomes better known, this number could easily double or even triple.

Immatures are infrequently encountered. Larvae of some genera are predators of orthopteroid egg pods, most others are parasitoids on immature stages of holometabolous orders of insects (DuMerle 1975) or are free-living in soil. Ectoparasitic representatives from the regions covered here include Exhyalanthrax on pupiparous higher Diptera, Systropus on saddleback moths (Limacodidae), Geron on Psychidae, and the ubiquitous Anthrax on a variety of hosts, primarily aculeate Hymenoptera. Hyperparasites occurring in these areas include Exoprosopa and Ligyra on Tiphiidae and Scoliidae (Hymenoptera), which are parasites of grubs of Scarabaeoidea. Hardy (1921c) recorded Ligyra satyrus as hyperparasitic on an unidentified asilid.

Classification of the family follows, for the most part, that provided by Yeates (1994) with some exception, which follow that of Evenhuis (1991). The Mythicomyiinae of Yeates has been raised to family level here following Zaitzev (1991) and Evenhuis (1993, 1994). The subfamily Bombyliinae is represented in these regions only by the tribe Dischistini. Species previously described in the genus Bombylius should be transferred to other genera after types have been examined. Due to the poor level of taxonomic knowledge of these flies, previous synonymies for species in many genera have been included here only when substantiated by examination of type material.

The only comprehensive work on the bombyliid fauna from these regions is the revisionary work of Roberts (1928a,b, 1929). The late S.J. Paramonov contributed many papers on the Australian Bombyliidae, and many of his unfinished manuscripts on various genera are deposited in CSIRO, Canberra. David Yeates has begun a series of studies at the subfamilial and generic level of the Australian Bombyliidae.Chris Lambkin et al.(2003) revised the Australian Exoprosopini.
