Revision of the morphology, phylogenetic relationships, behaviour and diversity of the Iberian and Italian ant-like Tachydromia Meigen, 1803 (Diptera: Hybotidae)

Gonçalves, Ana Rita,Grootaert, Patrick,Andrade, Rui,S. Paulo, Octávio,Mengual, Ximo

Abstract

Phylogenetic inference, based on five molecular markers (COI, 28S, AATS, 12S, PGD), corroborates the synonymy of the flightless genera Pieltainia Arias, 1919 and Ariasella Gil, 1923 with Tachydromia Meigen, 1803. The secondary structure of the 28S rRNA gene is used for the first time in this family to align the multiple sequences. Molecular and morphological data are largely congruent for all known species of flightless Tachydromia. This paper treats ten western Mediterranean species (nine Iberian and one Italian) in detail, including the description of four new species: T. ebejeri Gonçalves, Grootaert & Andrade sp. nov., T. stenoptera Gonçalves, Grootaert & Andrade sp. nov., T. cantabrica Gonçalves, Grootaert & Andrade sp. nov. and T. nigrohirta Gonçalves, Grootaert & Andrade sp. nov. The male of Tachydromia pieltaini (Gil Collado, 1936) and the female of Tachydromia apterygon Plant & Deeming, 2006 are described for the first time, while a lectotype is assigned to Tachydromia pandellei (Séguy, 1941). A key to all non-macropterous Tachydromia is supplied. Knowledge on the geographic distribution of most species is considerably enhanced. The mating behaviour of Tachydromia semiaptera (Gil Collado, 1923) and Tachydromia iberica (Arias, 1919) is documented for the first time, and we propose a change in the definition of terms apterous and micropterous to properly accommodate the diversity of wing states in this cluster of species.

These a e small-bodied lies (1–3.5 mm) usually shiny black o blackish b own in colou , wi h da k banded o clouded wings (Ch ála 1975). This genus is cu en ly di ided in o nine species g oups based on mo phological cha ac e s: he annulimana, a ogans, calcanea, connexa, in e up a, o na ipes, punc i e a and e icola g oups (Ch ála 1970, 1975; S a k & Doczkal 2017).

One o hese an -like Tachyd omia, Tachyd omia ap e ygon Plan & Deeming 2006, is endemic o I aly, while he emaining nine species a e es ic ed o he Ibe ian Peninsula and he Py enees. Apa om Tachyd omia ap e ygon, which has scale-like wings in bo h sexes and lacks hal e es, i e o hese species we e o iginally placed in he gene a Piel ainia A ias, 1919 and A iasella Gil Collado, 1923, bu hese wo gene a ha e since been placed in synonymy wi h Tachyd omia (Shamshe & G oo ae 2018): Tachyd omia ibe ica (A ias, 1919), Tachyd omia semiap e a (Gil Collado, 1923), Tachyd omia piel aini (Gil Collado, 1936), Tachyd omia pandellei (Séguy, 1941) and he mo e ecen ly desc ibed Tachyd omia lusi anica (G oo ae , Shamshe & And ade, 2009). Despi e being mo phologically simila o Tachyd omia, hey we e o iginally assigned o he abo e-men ioned gene a solely based on he comple e absence o hal e es and on he ex emely educed o absen wings. The o me monospeci ic Piel ainia was cha ac e ized by ap e y in bo h sexes, while in A iasella spp. males a e s enop e ous, i.e., e y na ow bu long wings (comple e loss o ligh abili y) (Figs 20E, 21A–B, D). The males o he species p e iously placed in A iasella ha e ubula , s alk-like wings wi h a lobed ip, which, a leas in T. lusi anica, a e wa ed du ing ma ing (And ade 2011). Females o bo h T. semiap e a and T. lusi anica a e mic op e ous (Figs 20F, 21E), wi h wings educed o a minu e bilobed scale, while emales o T. pandellei and T. piel aini a e s enop e ous bu lack he de eloped lobed ip p esen in males (Fig. 21C). To ou knowledge, he e is no published in o ma ion on he imma u e s ages, bu adul Tachyd omia a e p eda o s o small lies, mos ly so -bodied ‘nema oce a’. They a e commonly encoun e ed in la ge numbe s, swi ly unning ei he on e ical o ho izon al su aces such as ee unks, logs, low ege a ion and i e ma gins (Ch ála 1970), and o en e en ully winged species a e eluc an o ly, bu ins ead un o a oid p eda o s. In addi ion o he Ibe ian and I alian an -like species, equen cu so ial habi s a e also aken o an ex eme in only h ee o he p e iously desc ibed species o Tachyd omia. These ha e e ol ed o become comple ely ligh less by lacking unc ional wings, while s ill conse ing he hal e es: Tachyd omia ossica Shamshe , 1994 (Russian Fa Eas and Mongolia) has s alk-like wings, wi hou he lobed ip whe eas Tachyd omia mic op e a (Loew, 1864) and Tachyd omia schni e i S a k, 1996 (cen al Eu ope) a e b achyp e ous ( ena ion and shape simila o mac op e ous Tachyd omia). Howe e , wing educ ion is p esen in a leas 20 dip e an amilies (Hackman 1964) and i is equen in Hybo idae (G oo ae & Shamshe 2008). This phenomenon may be explained by se e al ac o s, including he s abili y o he habi a and c yp ic beha iou (Hackman 1964).

Eu opean Jou nal o Taxonomy 732: 1–56 (2021) 50 Wing educ ion/modi ica ion in Tachyd omia and i s e olu iona y signi icance As men ioned be o e, he lack o unc ional wings is a common phenomenon in Dip e a and se e al hypo heses o ligh lessness in insec s ha e been discussed, including habi a pe sis ence and c yp ic beha iou s (Hackman 1964). Ro (1990) concluded ha he loss o wings is common in spa ially and empo ally homogeneous en i onmen s and ha he e is conside able e idence o an inc ease in ligh lessness wi h al i ude. The Ibe ian an -like species a e mos ly p esen on moun ains and in deciduous o es s, which a e known o be s able habi a s (Ro 1990), hei mic ohabi a being es ic ed o he lea li e . O e all, he e olu ion o ligh lessness in Tachyd omia is cu en ly known om 13 species (including he Ibe ian and I alian axa), ou o some 100 desc ibed species. I is expec ed ha mo e cases may be disco e ed, especially i ield wo k is ca ied ou a high al i ude in empe a e cold en i onmen s. Rega ding he e olu ion o he wings in he Ibe ian an -like Tachyd omia, we hypo hesize ha wo p ocesses may ha e aken place: one is he wing educ ion i sel , which may happen in bo h sexes, and ano he is he wing modi ica ion wi h a sexual signalling unc ion, which only happens in he male. The e o e, in some species only wing educ ion o di e en deg ees occu ed, om he s enop e ous species o he ap e ous, wi h he mic op e ous inbe ween. In ce ain cases, he emale is s enop e ous wi hou a dis inc lobed ip on i s wing, while he male wing has a e y dis inc and la ge lobed ip (see: Tachyd omia piel aini, Tachyd omia pandellei, Fig. 21A–C). Howe e , mo e commonly, a mo e dis inc sexual dimo phism is p esen , whe e he emale is mic op e ous and he male is s enop e ous. I is in e es ing ha he sexual signalling p ocess does no happen he same way in all species, as obse ed in he ma ing beha iou o T. semiap e a. Con a y o T. lusi anica, he male o his species does no wa e i s wings du ing copula, no do he wings seem o ha e any o he unc ion. Mo eo e , i s wings a e much less igid han he ones o all he emaining ela ed species, so i is possible ha he s i ness o he s alk-like po ion o he wing is an impo an pa o he wing modi ica ion p ocess, making hem easie o wa e. Hence, while he wings o he s enop e ous species may look simila a i s glance, hey ac ually di e in hei mo phology and migh ha e di e en unc ions. In T. semiap e a only a p ocess o wing educ ion seems o be aking place. None heless, his species has a e y dis inc ea u e, which has he same signalling unc ion as ha o he wing in T. lusi anica. I s o e ibia – which is black, s ou and in la ed – is wa ed in on o he emale’s eyes du ing copula. A simila signalling me hod is used by T. ibe ica (wa ing he o elegs) bu his species, ins ead o a modi ied ibia, simply has a yellow and black o eleg. Fu he mo e, bo h species lack he cilia ion o hai -like se ae on he male o eleg, p esen in T. lusi anica, whose o elegs we e obse ed o in e wine wi h hose o he emale (And ade 2011). This beha iou was no obse ed in T. semiap e a o T. ibe ica. Taking all in o ma ion in o accoun , a leas in he case o T. lusi anica, wing educ ion seems o be coupled wi h an impo an modi ica ion o sexual ele ance, and i appea s ha bo h ecological and sexual p essu es a e d i ing i s e olu ion.
