Abstract

Compiling all the previous and new records, the most recent list of drosophilid species from East Siberia (56 spp.) and Russian Far East (120 spp.) is provided along with descriptions of five new species, supplementary descriptions of two known species, some nomenclatural changes (five new synonymies, a new homonymy, and a change in status of a taxon from the specific to the subspecific rank), and a key to all the species. Drosophilid faunas of these two regions are compared with those of surrounding six regions in the Northern Hemisphere. Russian Far East constitutes the northeastern Asiatic realm in drosophilid biogeography together with northeastern China and Hokkaido, northern Japan. On the other hand, East Siberia belongs to the northern Palearctic realm extending to northern Europe. The border between these two biogeographic realms lies on the Stanovoy Mts.

INTRODUCTION

A biota of a given area is a historical product of the past biological processes. It reflects not only the current climatic conditions but also the past climatic changes and the evolution of organisms having been taking place there. East Asia has retained a quite high biodiversity since the mid Tertiary Period in comparison with other temperate regions in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, the number of tree species in East Asia is six times more than that in Europe, and three times more than that in eastern North America (Latham and Ricklefs, 1993). East Asia is considered to have been a refuge for old Tertiary temperate elements which had developed in high latitudes surrounding the North Pole. There have been no distinct geographic barriers such as mountain ranges running east-westward, deserts, or seas in this region, which disturbed the southward retreat of those old temperate elements due to cooling climate after the mid Tertiary Period.

In this context, East Siberia and Far East of Russia are situated at a very important position for studying the development and evolution of temperate and boreal biotas in the Northern Hemisphere. Those link East Asia, northern Europe, and northern North America, and have been free from huge continental glaciers since the end of the Tertiary Period in contrast to areas at comparable latitudes in Europe and North America. However, the knowledge on their biotas and the explored areas are still limited due to their huge territories and the difficulty of access.

Recently, Sidorenko (1990a, b, 1993, etc.) brought much information about the drosophilid fauna of Russian Far East. Up to the present, a total of 97 species have been reported from there. On the other hand, the knowledge on the drosophilid fauna of East Siberia is quite limited; only 13 species have so far been reported from Siberia (Duda, 1935; Sidorenko, 1993; etc.). In 1992 to 1995 we made extensive and intensive surveys on drosophilid faunas of East Siberia in Yakutia, Irkutsk Region, and Buryatia and Krasnoyarsk Region and additional collections in Far East of Russia.

Compiling all the previous and new records, this paper presents the most recent list of drosophilid species from East Siberia and Russian Far East along with descriptions of new species, nomenclatural changes, and a key to all the species. In addition, faunal characteristics of these regions are compared with those of surrounding regions by biogeographic analyses.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Faunal surveys

Intensive and extensive surveys on drosophilid faunas were carried out in a huge area of East Siberia from arctic tundra through tundra-taiga transition and taiga forests to steppe-forest areas in Yakutia (Tiksi, Zhigansk, Verkhoyansk, Oimyakonsky District, Tomponsky District, Yakutsk, Olekminsk, and Stanovoy Mts.), Irkutsk Region, and Buryatia and Krasnoyarsk Region. Fly collections were made during the summer season, June to August, in 1992to1995 by various methods: by traps with fermenting bananas or malt baits (Lakovaara et al., 1969) and by net sweeping on herbaceous plants, fungi, tree saps, and tree trunks, and from cliff shelters and undersides of fallen logs. Some additional collections were also made in Far East of Russia, especially in Ussuri Region, during the same period to supplement the data of its drosophilid fauna.

Biogeographic analyses

The faunal compositions of East Siberia (ESB) and Russian Far East (RFE; excluding Kamtchatka, Sakhalin, and Kuril Is.) were compared with those of six neighboring regions, based on the following data: Hokkaido, northern Japan (HKD; 150 spp.: Okada, 1988; Toda, unpubl.), northeastern China (NEC; 92 spp.: Watabe et al., 1993a; Toda, unpubl.), Central Asia (CAS; Mongolia, Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan, Turkmenia, and Kirgizia; 54 spp.: Okada, 1973; Máca, 1988, 1992; Gornostaev, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1995; Watabe et al., 1993b), Russian Europe (REU; 60 spp.: Gornostaev, 1989), northern Europe (NEU; Finland, Norway, and Sweden; 61 spp.: Bächli and Rocha-Pité, 1981, 1984), and northern North America (NNA; Alaska and northwestern Canada; 25 spp.: Wheeler and Throckmorton, 1964; Toda, 1984).

Faunal similarity between two regions was evaluated by Jaccard's coefficient of similarity (Udvardy, 1969): S = c/(a+b−c), where c is the number of species common to both regions and a or b is the number of species occurring in each region. The similarity matrix resulting from pairwise calculations was then subjected to UPGMA cluster analysis (by NTSYS program, version 1.70). The significance of grouping of regions was statistically tested by the bootstrap technique (Felsenstein, 1985): 1) The same number of species as the total were resampled randomly from the original data matrix without changing the distribution of each species among regions. In consequence, each bootstrap sample gave a new data matrix with the same set of regions but with some of the original species duplicated and others dropped by the process of sampling. 2) A new dendrogram was deduced from each bootstrap sample. 3) This process was repeated 1,000 times. 4) For each of regional clusters deduced from the original data matrix, the relative frequency of its occurrence in 1,000 dendrograms resulting from bootstrap samples was calculated. The obtained value gave the statistical confidence level for each cluster of regions.

Faunal components were classified into 11 chorological types: NA) Nearctic, HA) Holarctic, PN) eastern Palearctic to Nearctic, PA) Paiearctic, WP) western Palearctic, CP) central Palearctic, EP) eastern Palearctic, SJ) Sino-Japanese, OR) Oriental, C) cosmopolitan or subcosmopolitan, and E) endemic. The faunal compositions of these chorological elements were compared among the eight regions and among localities within East Siberia and Russian Far East.

Distribution. Russia (Yakutia, Irkutsk, Amur, Khabarovsk, Primorye), China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning).

Relationship. This species is closely related to A. conifera Okada, 1977 in having asymmetric basal processes on aedeagus, especially similar to its subspecies, A. conifera takadai Okada, 1977, in longer aedeagal basal processes, but distinguishable from the species in having long, nearly straight, lateral processes on aedeagus, i.e., in conifera the lateral processes relatively short and sinuated. Similar long, straight, lateral processes are also seen on the aedeagus of A. semivirgo Máca, 1977, but its aedeagal basal processes are very short.

Etymology. The long lateral and basal processes of aedeagus look like Greek letter “chi” in lateral view, crossing each other.

Relationship. This species resembles A. kappa Máca, 1977 in having one pair of triangular lobes on the basal part of aedeagus, but can be clearly distinguished from it by the diagnostic characters, i.e., in kappa, the aedeagal median rod apically not dilated and bifurcated; the aedeagal basal lobe small, but reared from the much thickened median rod proper.

Etymology. Meaning the closeness to “kappa” in the Greek alphabet.

Scaptomyza (Scaptomyza) baechlii Sidorenko, 1993 (Fig. 7)

Scaptomyza (Scaptomyza) baechlii Sidorenko, 1993, Entomofauna, 14: 263.

The following description supplements and partly revises the original one.

Male terminalia (Fig. 7): Epandrium pubescent mediocaudally to dorsally, sharply pointed at ventral apex. Cercus pubescent except for ventral portion, with several setulae at caudoventral corner. Tenth sternite large; lateral lobes fused to surstyli. Distiphallus dorsally pointed. Paramere short, triangular in lateral view, distally pubescent. Hypandrial lateral lobes with 1 pair of paramedian setae, pubescent around paramedian setae, and 1 pair of process triangular in lateral view present on inner margins.

Indices: ch/o = 0.17-0.20; prorb = 0.80; rcorb = 0.40; vb = 0.40-0.50; dcl = 0.67; sctl = 1.40-1.50; sterno = 0.50-0.60; orbito = 0.40-0.50; dcp = 0.67; sctlp = 1.25.

Specimens examined: Russia: the holotype, Mt. Vysokaya, northern Primorye, 1500 m, ex light trap, 30,31 .VIII.1990 (Sidorenko), in IBP; 2M, Baikal, Solzan, Irkutsk Region, 13.VIII.1994 (Sidorenko).

Distribution. Russia (Irkutsk, Primorye).

Remarks. The distiphallus was originally figured round in lateral view (Sidorenko, 1993). However, this had been mistaken due to insufficient treatment of the specimen with KOH solution. We confirmed the dorsally pointed distiphallus also in the holotype.

Nomenclatural changes

Five new synonymies and a new homonymy were revealed in the present study. And, a taxon having been treated as a species was changed in status to the subspecific rank by comparing specimens from allopatric populations.

Stegana (Steganina) ctenaria Nishiharu, 1979

Stegana (Steganina) ctenaria Nishiharu, 1979, Kontyu, 47:38.

Stegana (Steganina) lacunata Krivosheina, 1987, Species composition and biology of drosophilid flies of the genus Stegana Meigen (Diptera, Drosophilidae) of the Soviet Union. In F. N. Pravdin (ed.), “Ecology and Morphology of Insects Inhabiting fungi”: 33. Syn. nov.

Krivosheina (1987) described St. lacunata based on specimens from Russian Far East but figured neither male nor female terminalia in the original description. Notwithstanding, external morphological characters, e.g., coloration and shape of frontal vitta, facial carina, palpus, thorax, and abdominal tergites as well as various measurements and indices, are identical with those of St. ctenaria. Since St. ctenaria is common in Russian Far East and can be easily distinguished from any other species known from this region by external characters, we regard here St. lacunata Krivosheina as a junior synonym of St. ctenaria Nishiharu.

Amiota (Amiota) neochungi Takada, Beppu & Toda, 1979, J. Fac. Gener. Edu., Sapporo Univ., 14: 110. Syn. nov.

Máca (1980) pointed out the closeness between A. subtusradiata and A. neochungi but refrained from synonymizing them. In the present study we (M.J.T. and V.S.S.) compared some specimens collected from East Siberia, Russian Far East, and Hokkaido, including the holotype of A. neochungi, with the lectotype of A. subtusradiata designated by Máca (1980), and concluded that A. neochungi Takada, Beppu & Toda is a junior synonym of A. subtusradiata Duda.

Specimens examined: Finland: the lectotype of A. subtusradiata, M, Tvarminne, R. Frey Igt. Russia: Yakutsk: 1M, 9-18.VII.1993 (Watabe), 1F, 6-20.VII.1995 (Toda); 1M, Komsomolsky Nature Reserve, 50 km upper from the mouth of R.

Amiota (Amiota) subtusradiata quadrata Takada & Toda, 1981, stat. nov.

Amiota (Amiota) quadrata Takada & Toda, 1981, J. Fac. Gener. Edu., Sapporo Univ., 18A: 2.

Máca (1980) noted that there is a species close to A. subtusradiata in North America. Takada and Toda (1981) described a new species closely related to A. subtusradiata (cited as A. neochungi) under the name of A. quadrata based on specimens collected from northeastern Canada. This may be the same with the taxon noted by Máca (1980). In the present study M.J.T. compared precisely the type-series of A. quadrata with Eurasian specimens of A. subtusradiata, and found only a very slight difference in the paramere between them, i.e., the Nearctic specimens having the broader basal lobe of paramere. It can be inferred from this slight morphological difference and their allopatric distributions that quadrata should be treated as a subspecies of A. subtusradiata.

Specimens examined: Canada: the holotype (M), the allotype (F), 21M and 6F paratypes, Inuvik, Northwest Territories, 31.VII-8.VIII.1980 (Toda); in EHU.

Drosophila (Drosophila) mutandis Tan, Hsu & Sheng, 1949, Univ. Texas Publ., 4920: 198. Syn. nov.

D. mutandis has been a questionable species since it was described originally based on specimens from Quizhou, southern China, by Tan et al. (1949), who gave no information on the male terminalia. The materials which they used for the description have never been found anywhere. Recently, a lot of specimens of which external morphology is completely consistent with the original description of D. mutandis were collected from a wide range in China. M.J.T. compared carefully some of these Chinese specimens with European ones of D. limbata and could not find any differences in morphology including male terminalia between them. We synonymize here D. mutandis Tan, Hsu & Sheng with D. limbata von Roser.

Specimens examined: England: 5M, 8F, B. Shorrocks det. Japan: Ashoro, Hokkaido: 1M, 1F, 1-18.VI.1977, 3M, 1F, 20.VII-2.VIII.1977 (Beppu). China: Liaoning: 1M, Qianshan, 15,16.VIII.1991 (Hu); 1M, Shenyang, 8-10.VIII.1991 (Hu); 1F, Shennongjia, Hubei, 28.VII.1992 (Watabe).

BIOGEOGRAPHY

Figure 8 shows the results of cluster and bootstrap analyses for the faunal similarity among East Siberia, Russian Far East, and six surrounding regions. Three regions of eastern Palearctic, RFE, NEC, and HKD, formed a compact cluster (bootstrap value = 99.0% for RFE+NEC and 100.0% for RFE+NEC+HKD), and two regions of western Palearctic, REU and NEU, did another one (bootstrap value = 100.0%). REU+NEU was clustered with ESB and CAS subsequently at slightly low bootstrap values (76.4% in both clusterings). NNA was rather independent from the Palearctic regions, although it was connected with the cluster of REU+NEU+ESB+CAS in about 20% of bootstrap samples.

Fig. 8.

Dendrogram resulting from UPGMA cluster analysis for the drosophilid faunal similarity (evaluated by Jaccard's coefficient) among East Siberia, Russian Far East, and six surrounding regions (see text for abbreviations of regions). The bootstrap confidence level (from 1,000 replications) is indicated at node of each cluster.

i0289-0003-13-3-455-f8.gif

Table 1 shows the number of species of each chorological element and its percent in the fauna of each region. The three regions of eastern Palearctic, HKD, NEC, and RFE, are quite rich in fauna; the total numbers of species in these regions are about twice of those in the other Palearctic regions concerned. Their faunas are dominated by EP elements which are considered to be adapted to cool-temperate deciduous forests in this area, and include in more or less proportions SJ elements distributed mainly in warm-temperate evergreen broad-leaved forests from southern Japan to southern China and even a little number of subtropical or tropical OR elements. On the other hand, the faunas of ESB, CAS, REU, and NEU are characterized by the predominance of PA and HA elements which are considered to be adapted to boreal forests. The fauna of ESB seems to be intermediate in the composition of chorological elements between those of eastern Palearctic and of western Palearctic, including a number of EP elements. CAS occupying a rather arid zone in the central part of Eurasia has a particular fauna with relatively high endemicity. It should be noted that D. rellima was confirmed to be distributed from Mongolia through East Siberia and northern Canada to central and western USA (Nebraska, Oregon, and California; Wheeler, 1983). This type of distribution covering eastern part of Eurasia and western part of North America had never been known in the Drosophilidae. D. rellima is very common in East Siberia and northern Canada (Toda, 1985).

i0289-0003-13-3-455-t1.gif

To reveal the distribution patterns of drosophilid flies within East Siberia and Russian Far East, faunal comparison was made in smaller geographic scale. The total numbers of species and the faunal compositions of chorological elements were compared among 12 localities extending from cool-temperate zone to arctic tundra zone: USR) Ussuri region, KBR) Khabarovsk region, AMR) Amur region, IKT) Irkutsk and Buryatiya regions, STN) northern side of Stanovoy Mts., OLK) Olekminsk, YKT) Yakutsk, TPS) Tomponsky, OMK) Oimyakonsky, VHY) Verkhoyansk, ZGS) Zhigansk, and TKS) Tiksi (Figs. 9 and 10). Faunal data for the first four regions were obtained by compiling collection records from several localities within the respective regions. The total number of species so far recorded is extraordinarily large in USR. However, this may be partly due to intensive surveys in this region. The same could be said for YKT. In other words, the total numbers of species at other localities, especially KBR and AMR, may be underestimated, more species waiting to be discovered there. In spite of the incompleteness of faunal surveys, it is obvious that there is a trend of northward decrease in species diversity. The faunal composition of chorological elements also changes from south to north. Warm-temperate to tropical elements (SJ+OR) occur only in the four southernmost regions but can not cross the Stanovoy Mts. Cool-temperate elements (mainly EP) decrease gradually their proportions from Russian Far East to middle part of East Siberia but do not invade the Arctic Circle. On the other hand, Boreal elements (PA and HA) increase their proportions northward and constitute the majority of faunas in taiga-tundra transitional zone within the Arctic Circle. Tundra zone is virtually free from wild drosophilids. Only a cosmopolitan domestic species, D. melanogaster, was collected in a heated fruit shop at Tiksi.

i0289-0003-13-3-455-f10.gif

In conclusion, Russian Far East belongs to the northeastern Asiatic realm in drosophilid biogeography, whereas East Siberia forms the northern Palearctic realm together with Europe. There is a large “waterfall” of species diversity accompanied with abrupt change in faunal composition between Russian Far East and East Siberia. The border between these two biogeographic realms may lie on the Stanovoy Mts. Most of mountain ranges in northeastern Eurasia run generally north-southward (Fig. 9). Only the Stanovoy Mts. run east-westward. Eastern Asiatic elements of drosophilids which are adapted to warmer climates may be strongly restricted to expand their ranges northward by this distribution barrier.
