Scaptomyza (Scaptomyza) graminum

Description

* Scaptomyza (Scaptomyza) graminum (Fallén, 1823)

MATERIAL. Russia: Adygea, Maikop, 1–30.VIII 2001, 1–30.VIII 2008, 1–30.VIII 2014, 1–30.VIII 2019, 1–30.VI 2020, 2 ♂, 4 ♀ (NG, YL).

DISTRIBUTION. Widespread in Palearctic region (Bächli & Rocha Pité, 1984) and Russia (Gornostaev, 1997; Sidorenko, 2001).

Now 31 species in ten genera of Drosophilidae are known from Adygea, 15 of which are recorded here from this region for the first time. Totally 32 species of Drosophilidae are known from Adygea and Krasnodar Krai: 31 species from Adygea (Gornostaev, 1997 and present data) and 16 species from adjacent Krasnodar Krai (Gornostaev, 1997).

Among them 16 drosophilid species (Amiota albilabris, A. variegata, Gitona distigma, Stegana hypoleuca, Chymomyza amoena, Drosophila busckii, D. funebris, D. histrio, D. immigrans, D. kuntzei, D.limbata, D. melanogaster, D. simulans, Hirtodrosophila trivittata, Scaptomyza flava, and S. graminum) are found only in Adygea, one species (Drosophila lummei Hackman, 1972) is known only from Krasnodar Krai, and 15 species (Leucophenga maculata, Chymomyza caudatula, Drosophila hydei, D. littoralis, D. phalerata, D. testacea, D. transversa, D.helvetica, D. obscura, D. subobscura, D. tristis, Hirtodrosophila confusa, Mycodrosophila poecilogastra, Scaptodrosophila deflexa, and Scaptomyza pallida) are recorded from both regions. Thus, the fauna of Drosophilidae of Adygea, apparently, is rather similar to the fauna of Krasnodar Krai but the latter region should be more carefully studied.
