... In addition to discovering them, comprehensively described the physical phenomenon that causes them and documented examples of WIPs in several Diptera and Hymenoptera taxa. Since then, WIPs have been documented in just 20 taxonomic or descriptive works (Hansson 2011;Buffington and Sandler 2012;Hansson 2012;Hansson and Shevtsova 2012;Hernández-López et al. 2012;Simon 2012;Stigenberg 2012;Buffington and Condon 2013;Mitroiu 2013;Buffington and Forshage 2014;Drohojowska and Szwedo 2015;Zhang et al. 2014aZhang et al. , 2014bZhang et al. , 2016Hosseini et al. 2019Hosseini et al. , 2020Hosseini et al. , 2021Hosseini et al. 2021Pielowska-Ceranowska and Szwedo 2020;Butterworth et al. 2021;Conrow and Gelhaus 2022) and five experimental studies (Katayama et al. 2014;Brydegaard et al. 2018;Hawkes et al. 2019;Dong et al. 2020;White et al. 2021). Most of these studies focus on Hymenoptera (161 species), followed by Diptera (58 species), Hemiptera (8 species), and Odonata (1 species) (Suppl. ...
... Experiments in Drosophila have repeatedly shown WIPs to be subject to sexual selection (Katayama et al. 2014;Hawkes et al. 2019). While this has not been experimentally tested in other taxa, this and other studies have found that WIPs are frequently species-specific Buffington and Sandler 2012;Zhang et al. 2014bZhang et al. , 2016Hosseini et al. 2019;Butterworth et al. 2021;Hosseini et al. 2021). Similarly to the Drosophila species used in the sexual selection experiments, microgastrinae males also display their wings to females during courtship (Bredlau and Kester 2019). ...
Wing interference patterns (WIPs) are color patterns of insect wings caused by thin film interference. Thin film interference is the same phenomenon responsible for the refracted spectral colors sometimes visible on soap bubbles. Insect WIPs are static patterns due to the variable thickness of wing membranes and the colors produced depend on the thicknesses of wing membranes. While WIPs have been studied in several taxa of small insects, they have not been broadly adopted by insect taxonomists. We surveyed WIPs in one moderate-sized genus of parasitoid wasps, Parapanteles (Braconidae: Microgastrinae). Using an inexpensive microscope camera set-up and free imaging and analysis software, we detected consistent WIP differences between Parapanteles species. In some cases, WIPs can be used to diagnose sibling species that would otherwise require SEM images to differentiate or DNA barcodes. Wing interference patters are an underemployed character that may be similarly useful in many other taxa of small clear-winged insects.
... The L. caesia-group [21,[23][24][25] was first proposed by Hennig [21] and includes five valid Palaearctic taxa, i.e., L. caesia, L. candicans, L. halophora, L. leucocephala, and L. odessae. Hennig [21] called the L. caesia-group one of the most clearly defined, and pointed out the following group characters: a frontal triangle broad with convex margins, femora with ventral rows of short spines, and an abdomen with a characteristic pattern. ...
... However, there is an evident discrepancy in Hennig's approach to the L. caesia-group; for example, he included L. leucocephala, which has neither a spine on the femora, nor the typical abdominal pattern. Then, some authors extended the volume of the L. caesia-group with several Palaearctic and Oriental species [23][24][25]. ...
... In more recent publications, either the volumes of Hennig's groups have been extended or new groups have been proposed [9,[22][23][24][25]27,29,30], such as the L. bivittata-group [24], L. nivalis-group [22,29], L. kowarzi species complex [22], the L. leucospila-group [9,22], L. nicobarensis-group [9], L. rigida-group [9,29], and the L. pygmaea-group [30]. It is important to note that Vikhrev [22,30] used a separate term-"complex"-when raising several small groups. ...
Lispe Latreille (Diptera: Muscidae) are a widespread group of predatory flies that inhabit semi-aquatic environments. Previous studies on this genus have mainly focused on morphological classification, so molecular data are entirely lacking, and there has been no attempt at a phylogenetic placement of the genus or the resolution of intragenic relationships. To address the phylogenetic placement of Lispe and to fill its gap in the Tree of Life Web Project, 58 Lispe spp. (covering 11 out of 13 acknowledged Lispe species groups) were selected to reconstruct a phylogeny using Maximum likelihood (ML) estimates, Maximum Parsimony (MP) analyses, and Bayesian inference (BI) based on two mitochondrial protein-coding genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COXI) and cytochrome b gene (CYTB)) and one nuclear gene (a fragment of the carbamoyl phosphate synthetase region of the CAD gene). The phylogenetic analyses indicated that the monophyletic Lispe is the sister group of the monophyletic Limnophora, together forming the tribe Limnophorini under the subfamily Coenosiinae. Three generic categories are proven obsolete: Chaetolispa Malloch, Lispacoenosia Snyder, and Xenolispa Malloch. Within the genus, the validity of 11 species groups is clarified by both molecular and morphological data. This study provides a sound basis for continuing intergeneric and intrageneric research into this fascinating and widespread genus.
... WIPs are structural color patterns that appear in thin and transparent wings due to thin-film interference, and are known to be useful for the classification of small winged insects (Shevtsova et al., 2011;Hawkes et al., 2019). WIPs have also been used to classify various taxa of the order Diptera (e.g., Shevtsova et al., 2011;Katayama et al., 2014;Zhang et al., 2016;Gebru et al., 2018;Hawkes et al., 2019). Although WIP analysis has never been applied to the family Syrphidae, we attempted to do so in our Betasyrphus species. ...
The two Palaearctic members of the hoverfly genus Betasyrphus, B. serarius (Wiedemann, 1830) and B. nipponensis (Goot, 1964), closely resemble each other, except for their male genitalic characters. For this reason, these two species have been often mistaken for each other. In Korea, only B. serarius has been recognized as a sole species based on mixed specimens from these two species. In the present study, we attempted to define B. serarius and B. nipponensis more precisely and identify additional diagnostic characteristics to distinguish these species. We examined external morphological characters including the genitalic structures, the wing microtrichia distributions (WMDs), as well as the wing interference patterns (WIPs). In addition, we analyzed the DNA barcode sequences of individuals, covering as many morphological variants as possible, to distinguish the females of these two species. As a result, we found some additional diagnostic male genitalic and WMD characters. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, females of these two species remain undistinguishable. DNA barcoding analysis did not reveal any significant differences between B. serarius and B. nipponensis. Our analysis based on 20 Korean samples and 486 Syrphidae sequences retrieved from BOLD Systems (ver. 4) and GenBank showed that the nine available Betasyrphus species including the type species formed a robust barcode cluster. B. serarius and B. nipponensis together with three unidentified species from Pakistan, Australia and Malaysia also formed a strong sub-cluster. In addition, we provide an identification key, diagnoses, and descriptions with color photographs.

The first complete overview of the African fauna of Lispe is published.
The paper consists of 3 parts. (1) The alphabetical list of 55 taxa of the African
fauna is given with references, distribution data and, where necessary,
taxonomic remarks or descriptions. (2) Addendum with 26 African taxa of
Lispe which are not included in the main alphabetical list (as synonymies or
for other reasons). (3) Identification key for Lispe of Africa. The paper is
illustrated with 47 figures. Six new taxa of Lispe are described: Lispe alkalina
sp. nov.; Lispe andrefana sp. nov; Lispe confusa sp. nov.; Lispe patersoni sp.
nov.; Lispe polonaise sp. nov.;. Lispe selena sp. nov. Nine new taxonomic

... This favours structural coloration as a reliable taxonomic tool (Buffington & Sandler 2011, Hosseini et al. 2019). However, although not difficult to use, this tool has not often been adopted for species recognition (Zhang M. et al. 2014a, b;Zhang D. et al. 2016, Fusu 2017. Successful attempts to use WIPs in phylogenetic reconstructions have been done in Hymenoptera-Cynipoidea (Buffington & Sandler 2011) and Braconidae (Kangasniemi 2012). ...
Biting midges, nematoceran flies family Ceratopogonidae, is represented by more than 6200 valid species. This group is still poorly known and not easy in identification. Structural coloration of insect wings (WIP, or Wing Interference Pattern) is an example of an optical phenomenon called iridescence, which is based on the formation of pigment-free, rainbow colours caused by the interference of white light reflected from transparent or semi-transparent structures. Preliminary results indicate that the structural colouring of the wings of these insects may be helpful in the delimitation of closely related and cryptic species.

The Palaearctic fauna of Lispe is reviewed. The paper consists of 4 parts. (1) The alphabetical list of 65 taxa of the Palearctic fauna is given with references, distribution data and, where necessary, taxonomic remarks. (2) A complete identification key for Lispe of the Palaearctic region. (3) Review of the L. caesia group and key for the Palaearctic species of the group. (4) Separate key for the Palaearctic species of the L. palposa and L. rigida groups. The paper is illustrated with 50 figures. Lispe astakhovi sp. nov. is described. Four new synonymies are offered: Coenosia atra Meigen, 1830 = Lispe armeniaca Canzoneri & Meneghini, 1972, syn. nov.; L. leucospila Wiedemann, 1830 = L. albipuncta Shinonaga, 2010, syn. nov.; L. ochracea Becker, 1910 = L. subbivittata Mou, 1992 syn. nov.; L. patellitarsis Becker, 1914 = L. hirsutipes Mou, 1992, syn. nov.
... The species-groups system built up by Snyder (1954) and Hennig (1960) has greatly promoted the systematics of this genus. Taxonomic researches on Lispe by subsequent authors still followed the group system ( Zhang et al., 2005Zhang et al., , 2016Vikhrev, 2011aVikhrev, -b, 2012aVikhrev, -c, 2014Vikhrev, , 2015Vikhrev, , 2016Ge et al., 2016). However, there is no phylogenetic analysis supporting those groups published so far. ...
Two new junior synonymies in Lispe are proposed herein: L. bivittata Stein, 1909 = L. guizhouensis Wei, 2006 syn. nov. and L. nicobarensis Schiner, 1868 = L. leigongshana Wei & Yang, 2007 syn. nov. Both species are diagnosed with photographs and terminalia illustrations. The identity of L. subbivittata Mou, 1992, a former subspecies of L. bivittata, is discussed.
... Even among the species considered by Hennig [1960] L. leucocephala has neither ventral spines on femora nor abdominal pattern in both sexes. In the very recent review of the L. caesia group [Zhang et al., 2016] the authors included in the group several more species. Intuitively we agree with addition of these species into the group, but formal characterization of the group as well as a revision of the abundant World fauna of the L. caesia group are the tasks for future. ...
... Based on this synonymy and the absence of any formal refutation of it, Pont [1986] listed in the Palaearctic Catalogue L. odessae as a synonym of L. caesia. Since that, this point of view became generally accepted and was also used in Zhang et al. [2016] review of the Lispe caesia group. Presently we would like to refute it. ...
... Through the above discussed erroneous view on L. odessae as a synonym, this species was misidentified as L. caesia microchaeta in the recent publication on the Lispe caesia species group [Zhang et al., 2016]. Thus, L. odessae is a species hereby newly recorded for China as well as for Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia and Turkmenistan. ...

A mono-, majd duális hormon(inkretin)receptor-agonisták terápiába állítását követően a 2-es típusú diabetes és az elhízás gyógyszeres kezelésének egyik új lehetőségeként a hármashormonreceptor-stimulálás, a glükagonreceptor kiegészítő aktiválása felé fordult a figyelem. A dolgozat a szénhidrát-anyagcserében betöltött szerepe mellett áttekinti a glükagon további élettani feladatait, kiemelten az intrainsularis parakrin szabályozásban, az energiaforgalomban és az étvágy befolyásolásában való részvételét. Kitér a hármas kombináció lehetséges előnyeire, és röviden érinti az első hármashormonreceptor-agonistával, a retatrutiddal kapcsolatos preklinikai humán vizsgálatok hatékonysággal és biztonságossággal kapcsolatos adataira is. A biztató eredmények további megerősítése előrelépést jelenthet e kórformák és kísérő állapotaik – így a steatosis hepatis − kezelésében. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(42): 1656–1664.
