The species is widely distributed in Europe (including the Iberian Peninsula, and Ukraine; but it does not occur in Great Britain and Northern Europe); in the Caucasus: Russia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan (e. g., Hoffmann 1966, Gepp 1982, Dobosz & Hadaś 1999, Rezbanyai-Reser 2007, Tillier 2008, Tillier et al. 2009, Monserrat & Tillier 2013, Willmann 2013, Shchurov & Makarkin 2017, Savitsky & Timokhov 2021.

The hangingfly genus Bittacus Latreille, 1805 in the Balkan countries (Mecoptera, Bittacidae)
Article
Full-text available
  • Nov 2022
A review of records of hangingflies (Mecoptera: Bittacidae) in the Balkan countries is presented. While Bittacus italicus was cited for all Balkan countries in the past, with the exception of the European part of Turkey, the much rarer B. hageni was reported from Romania and Slovenia only. Here we report both on published and unpublished older records and on recent findings. The occurrence of B. hageni in Nova Gorica is the first record in the Balkan Peninsula, and the individuals collected in Krapina are the first ones from Croatia. The find of B. italicus on Pag is the first record on a Mediterranean island. As their habitats are shrinking, hangingflies on the Balkan Peninsula are highly endangered.

Sinopsis de los Mecópteros de la Península Ibérica (Insecta, Mecoptera).
Article
Full-text available
  • Dec 2013
Resumen: Los mecópteros (moscas escorpión, típulas de cuatro alas) representan uno de los órdenes de insectos menos estudiados y recientemente más olvidados dentro de la fauna ibérica. La mayoría de las citas antiguas y las aportadas por los autores del pasado siglo son cuestionables, y son muy escasas, y también a veces cuestionables, las citas dadas por autores más recientes. En la presente contribución se anotan y se comentan los taxones de este orden que, bajo diferentes denominaciones y combinaciones nomenclatoriales, han sido citados en la bibliografía entomológica de la Península Ibérica, exponiendo posibles confusiones en las identificaciones publicadas. Tras el estudio de abundante material inédito se aportan nuevos datos sobre la distribución real y la biología de los mecópteros ibéricos. Se confirma la pr esencia de cinco especies de este orden en la fauna de la Península Ibérica. Abstract: The Mecoptera (scorpion flies, hanging flies) represents one of the least studied and recently most neglected insect orders in the Iberian fauna. Most old records and those provided by the authors of the last century are questionable, and the records given by more recent authors are very scarce, and also sometimes questionable. In the present contribution we note and discuss taxa of this insect order that, under different names and nomenclatural combinations, have been mentioned in the entomological literature of the Iberian Peninsula, exposing possible published misidentifications. After studying plenty of unrecorded material new information on the actual distribution and biology of the Iberian Mecoptera is provided. Five species of this insect order are confirmed as present in the Iberian Peninsula.

ABSTRACT. Bittacus hageni BRAVER, 1860 is recorded for the first time from Poland. The species has been found in south Poland in the vicinity of Kraków. Diagnostic characters as well as some data on its distribution in Middle Europe are provided. Moravian Gate is considered as the possible rout of colonization of the Kraków region. Reexamination of the unique Polish specimen of B. italicus (0. F. MOLLER, 1766) revealed that it is in fact a female not a male.

Bittacus hageni Brauer, 1860 : une nouvelle observation en Lorraine (Insecta, Mecoptera, Bittacidae)
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2008
43 En 2005, le Musée national d'histoire naturelle de Luxembourg initie dans la réserve naturelle de Montenach (France, département de la Moselle), un inventaire de l' entomofaune des différentes pelouses sèches constituant le site. Sur la pelouse du Koppenackberg (fig. 1), gérée par pâturage ovin, un exemplaire femelle de Bittacus hageni Brauer, 1860 a été capturé à l'aide d'un piège à fosse du type Barber dans la période du 8 au 19 août 2005. B. hageni est une espèce rare dont la répartition géographique est mal connue. Sa présence a été signalée dans neuf pays européens, de la France à la Roumanie (Fauna Europaea 2007). Jacquemin (2005) signale la présence de cette espèce en Lorraine (54-Champigneulles, vallon de Bellefontaine) et précise qu' « il fréquente comme les autres Panorpes, les bois humides, où il chasse des insectes qu'il capture grâce à la conformation très particulière de ses tarses, suspendu à la végétation par ses pattes antérieures. » Dans notre cas, le spécimen a été capturé au beau milieu d'une pelouse sèche dont l' embuissonnement ne dépasse pas les 25%. Une visite le 17 août 2006 n'a pas permis de revoir l' espèce, malgré deux heures passées à inspecter le moindre arbuste à l'aide d'un parapluie japonais. Après cette observation en 2005, nous nous sommes intéressés à la situation de cette espèce au Luxembourg tout proche. Hoffmann (1966) mentionne la présence de Bittacus italicus (O.F. Muller, 1766), une autre espèce du genre Bittacus (fig.2), au Grand-Duché. Cependant, comme le précise cet auteur, « les contrôles systématiques des années 1962 et 1963 n' ont produit que 4 imagos femelles et une larve. » Comme le souligne Jacquemin (2005), l'article de Tajovsky & Lauterer (1986) montre la difficulté de séparer morphologiquement les femelles de B. hageni et B. italicus (la distinction se fait d'après la morphologie des appareils génitaux). Un doute subsiste donc. Comme le matériel de Hoffmann n' est plus accessible, et comme ses relevés datent de plus de 40 ans, nous avons entrepris de retrouver les sites décrits dans son article de 1966, à savoir (1) un tapis de Mnium undulatum bordant le sentier de promenade Pérékop-Hollay dans le vallon de l' Aesbach près d'Echternach (4.5.1962) ; (2) dans la haute végétation herbeuse d'une hêtraie humide du vallon du Mandelbach près de Hollenfels au lieu dit « beim Filsbour » (16.8.1962) ; (3) sur un buisson de Lonicera xylosteum, à l'intérieur d'une hêtraie riveraine de l'Ernz Noire, au lieu dit « beim Loschbour », près du Moulin de Reuland (14.7.1963) ; (4) aux abords immédiats de la Mamer, près du Moulin de Schoenfels (4.8.1963) ; (5) dans les hautes herbes d'une hêtraie très humide située au bord du Girsterbach, près de Born (11.8.1963).

Observations on the hunting and mating behaviour of two species of scorpion flies (Bittacidae: Mecoptera)
Article
  • Jan 1966
This paper describes the hunting and mating behaviour of two species of Harpobittacus which are endemic to Australia. The larvae of H. australis, and probably also those of H. nigriceps, are scavengers, whereas their adults are rapacious predators. Their prey include a wide variety of soft-bodied insects and spiders. In the field only the male was observed to hunt and capture its prey with its powerful raptorial hindlegs. After taking a short meal, the male curves its abdomen to evert two intertergal vesicles between segments 6 and 7 and segments 7 and 8. These vesicles contract and expand in a slow rhythmic motion and discharge a sex pheromone which attracts the female. As soon as copulation is established the male passes the prey to the female which feeds on it as a nuptial meal while mating is in progress. Both sexes mate several times daily throughout their entire lifetimes. The hunting and mating behaviour of the two species differ only in that the nuptial meal remains in the possession of the male H. australis, the same prey being used for several mating actions with different females. In H. nigriceps, the meal is in possession of the female which discards it just prior to the termination of copulation. In this species a fresh nuptial meal is provided by the male on each mating occasion. It is suggested that similar mating behaviour may occur in other genera of Bittacidae, notably in the worldwide genus Bittacus.
