Interesting flies

By the way, who is it?

Article by Dekhterev, where Satanas is mentioned

Where did you get the magazine?

It seems that Dekhtyarev was a dipterologist, and from Kharkov. I didn't know about it. Here's what I managed to Google (sorry for the offtopic).

Dekhtyarev N. S. On a new parasite of the Italian locust / / Zakhist roslin. - 1925. - No. 1-2. - pp. 60-62. Kharkov.

Дехтярев Н. С. Вишнёвая муха и меры борьбы с ней // Вісник садівництва, виноградництва і городництва. - 1927. - No. 4. - pp. 170-178.

Dekhtiarev N. S. Notes on the scarabaeid beetles attacking vines in Ukraine // Bulletin of Entomological Research. — 1929. — Vol. 20. — P. 95–98. Cambridge University Press. (this is what Zoofanat posted above)

plus a mention in Fyodorov's article in the REO for 1925 (also see above)

It would be interesting to learn more about it...

I'm also curious.
I looked at the work of this author in the catalogues of the library from NASU. He worked in Kharkiv (until he found out exactly where) in the field of applied entomology. Написал даже учебник "Сільськогосподарська ентомологія". He studied insect pests of the Kharkiv region and other regions of Ukraine, including diptera. I'll keep digging. I hope to find information about his biography. It seems that this is a forgotten entomologist who made a decent contribution to the development of applied entomology in Ukraine, but his name does not appear in the works known to me on the history of applied entomology in our country. We should ask Kharkiv entomologists about it on occasion. We will revive the memory of such people!!!

These adorable little flies were easily Googled. The species, it turns out, was described from caves 62 years ago, but since then it has not been collected. Larvae in bat poop, imago-feed on the skin secretions of the same mice. Krosavchegi.

here they are on the Wiki:

Thanks to this thread (thank you), I became interested and came out on flies that I didn't know before, on Celifidae  , flies-beetles

There are as many as 90 types of them! Yes, in the above link I read that real wings, like those of beetles in Celifidae, hide at rest under the elytra, which is an overgrown shield, and like beetles, there is a metallic color. Unfortunately, I didn't see any other photos besides this one. So who has usli?..

Alas, the opinion that a predator will peck her husband in the roof is not based on anything, it's just such a memobike, invented by someone and actively replicated, like "tyaglomuravy Marikovsky". The radial pattern on the wings of mottledwings most likely creates some similarity with the leaf wrapper of the inflorescence of compound flowers, but no more. Don't look for adaptive expediency where it doesn't exist. The wing/body pattern is more important for recognizing your own appearance and scaring away strangers on a food resource - that's the whole short story...

I read with great interest the materials on Satanas gigas Eversmann, 1855
. We have collected quite extensive and interesting material on the ktyri of the Penza region. Now you need to define and write an article... Ktyr giant we caught once in the region, a series of several specimens...
Very interesting animal - you will need to look for it this year.
Who caught this species please unsubscribe about the terms and biotope.

I don't know.whether I woke up on time... There are articles (even in pop.Science and Life was) about mimicry.the role of wings in connection with the neighbors of many of these flies-jumping spiders. A number of flies, like urophores, and others - accurately taking this concept - mimic the wings and spots of the eyes and legs of spiders.

...and about Prof. Marikovsky would like to know more, while there are eyewitnesses) legendary personality; 0) And this meme I have not heard..)
