TL;DR: Seasonal fluctuation of all flies showed a bimodal peak population in May and September and Chrysomya megacephala was caught in the largest number among all flies from May to October.
Abstract: Seasonal occurrence of flies was studied in Siliguri city with the following results : In all 6164 flies belonging to 5 families, 9 genera, and 34 species were trapped from July 1970 to June 1971 using raw fish as bait. Generally more females than males were trapped. Chrysomya megacephala was the most dominant species followed by Musca domestlca and Sarcophaga mlsera. Seasonal fluctuation of all flies showed a bimodal peak population in May and September. Chrysomya megacephala was caught in the largest number among all flies from May to October. Musca domestlca, Chrysomya megacephala, Sacrophaga mlsera, Sarcophaga ruficornis and Sarcophaga perigrina were noxious in the city. Ophyra chakogaster, 0. nigra, Sarcophaga brevlornis, Anthomyta illocata and {iyPhyslphora ftavipes} were trapped for the first time in India.

TL;DR: Structural peculiarities of Exothrips species, including trends in sexual dimorphism, are discussed, and a key is provided for separating the Asiatic species.
Abstract: The Perissothrips complex is defined to include four genera, which are separated by a key. The structure of the phallic complex diagnostic to members of this group has been elaborated along with variation within the group. Three of the genera, Amalothrips, Exothrips and Parexothrips, are revised. Seventeen species are included in Exothrips, including six new species. Anaphothrips sacchari Moulton 1936 and A. Pannonicus Priesner 1924 are transferred to Exothrips- Exothrips sacchari (Shumser 1942) is not recognisable at present, although might possibly be conspeciftc with redox, sp. nov. Structural peculiarities of Exothrips species, including trends in sexual dimorphism, are discussed, and a key is provided for separating the Asiatic species. Parexothrips tenellus, known from Egypt, is reported for the first time from India based upon a good series of specimens, and a new species P, capitis is described from India.

TL;DR: Nakhoda linearis is certainly a laelapine genus, but the structural modifications induced by the semi- aquatic habits and the long geological history of its host combine to make comparison with other genera difficult.
Abstract: Nakhoda linearis, gen. et sp. nov. (Dermanyssidae) is described from a Malaysian insectivore, Echlnosorex gymnurus (Raffles) (Erinaceidae). It is certainly a laelapine genus, but the structural modifications induced (presumably) by the semi- aquatic habits and the long geological history of its host combine to make comparison with other genera difficult.

TL;DR: Investigation on the soil meso and microfauna of uncultivated plots of West Bengal, India brings to light that Cryptostigmata mites predominate during the monsoon months over other groups of mites, and population size of both Acari and Collembola appear to be dependent on organic matter-microbes complex operating in soil.
Abstract: This communication being a part of the ecological investigation on the soil meso and microfauna of uncultivated plots of West Bengal, India, brings to light the following information : (1) Cryptostigmata mites predominate during the monsoon months (July-August) over other groups of mites such as Mesostigmata, Prostigmata and Astigraata as well as Collembola; in the scale of population-abundance next comes Collembola closely followed by Mesostigmata mites; population of both Prostigmata and Astigmata mites are significantly low as to both quantitative and qualitative composition; and (2) population size of both Acari and Collembola appear to be dependent on organic matter-microbes complex operating in soil.
