i5K Comments for Neosilba zadolicha
Recent studies have shown an interest in the Lonchaeidae family, as its larvae are reported to feed on many commercially relevant fruits. However, the taxonomical difficulties of telling the species of this family apart ends up hampering and discouraging research on these flies. In our work, we use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to investigate the differences in cuticular hydrocarbon composition among Neotropical Lonchaeidae species from different geographic regions, aiming to use the resulting cuticular hydrocarbon profiles as an identification tool for the species of this family. Molecular biology can provide important data to clarify the taxonomy of Lonchaeidae also encourage new researchers to work with this family has received little research. The Entomology Laboratory of the Animal Biology Department at the State University of Campinas, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Angelo Pires do Prado, often receives specimens of Lonchaeidae species from several regions of Brazil as most of the country's specialists in this dipteran family are concentrated in that laboratory. Parallel to this, fruit and flowers in the literature as hosts for larvae Lonchaeidae being collected in different regions of Brazil to investigate the cuticular hydrocarbons by GC / MS (2010-2013). All species received already stored in accordance with the protocol for DNA extraction. Laura Gisloti
