    Preliminary List of Syrphidae known from Suriname and British and French Guiana (1962)
    In:  Studies on the Fauna of Suriname and other Guyanas (0300-5488) vol.5 (1962) nr.1 p.1

    Description: The family of Syrphid flies (“Hover flies” or “Flower flies”) is richly represented in the Neotropical region. FLUKE’S Catalogue of Neotropical Syrphidae, finished in September 1953, records 107 genera and 1,507 species, exclusive of 100 “species incertae sedis.” (In actual fact, 1,508 species are enumerated, but Baccha picta Wiedemann (FLUKE, p. 259) is an Ethiopian species.) The large genera Volucella with 274 species, Baccha with 269 species, Mesograpta with 130 species, and Eristalis with 106 species, seem to have had their greatest opportunity of development in this region. However, some of the names will probably prove to be synonyms, since the descriptions by earlier authors are often too short and insufficient to enable a species to be recognized with certainty. As a rule, the species described by recent authors are quite recognizable. Up to a few years ago the number of Syrphids described or known from Suriname was very small. Moreover, one of them, Volucella ardua Wiedemann, proved to be synonymous with Volucella tympanitis Fabricius, as stated by CURRAN, who studied WIEDEMANN’S type specimens. Of course, the number of the species taken on occasion in Suriname is somewhat larger; but, as far as is known, no enumeration has ever been published.

    Water-Striders of the American Genus Trochopus (1966)
    In:  Studies on the Fauna of Suriname and other Guyanas (0300-5488) vol.8 (1966) nr.1 p.65

    Description: In April 1898 the veliid genus Trochopus Carpenter was erected to hold a new halophilous water-strider from Jamaica, described as marinus. The specimens were netted in numbers on standing salt waters beneath mangrove trees in swamps near the head of Kingston Harbour. In August of the same year CHAMPION described the second member of the genus, Trochopus salinus, collected in the mangrove swamps of the Pearl Islands, Gulf of Panama. Subsequently, KIRKALDY (1900) wrongly considered the genus Trochopus to be a synonym of Rhagovelia Mayr (1865), but correctly treated the trivial name marinus as a synonym of Rhagovelia plumbea Uhler. This generic synonymy was largely accepted until CHINA & USINGER (1949) took Trochopus out of synonymy and restored it to its original status. As the trivial synonymy is correct, this makes the genotype Trochopus plumbeus (Uhler) (= marinus Carpenter). Recently BACON (1956) and also MATSUDA (1956) followed KIRKALDY and wrongly repudiated Trochopus as a synonym of the older genus Rhagovelia, including the transfer of plumbeus and salinus back into the latter genus. In the present paper, the authors are in full concurrence with the classification of CHAMPION and of CHINA & USINGER, in which Trochopus is restored to its original status. As here systematized, Trochopus comprises T. plumbeus, T. salinus, and the new species described below from Surinam.

    Description: Having terminated his term of office as a Director of the Suriname Museum at Paramaribo, Dr. D. C. GEIJSKES returned to Holland. Accompanied by Mrs. GEIJSKES he availed himself of the opportunity to make a collecting-trip to several islands of the Windward Group of the Lesser Antilles, situated in a curved line between Trinidad and Puerto Rico. The islands of Grenada, Barbados, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St. Kitts, St. Eustatius, St. Martin, Saba and Anguilla were visited in succession. Though Dr. GEIJSKES himself is especially interested in Odonata and aquatic Neuroptera, he and Mrs. GEIJSKES have been kind enough to catch also the Syrphidae they came across. In total 170 Syrphid flies were taken representing 13 species. The flies are in very good condition with full data.

    Heteroptera of Suriname I. Largidae and Pyrrhocoridae (1966)
    In:  Studies on the Fauna of Suriname and other Guyanas (0300-5488) vol.9 (1966) nr.1 p.1

    Description: This paper is intended as the first of a series concerning the Surinam heteropterous fauna. Although our knowledge of these insects in Suriname is still very incomplete, a survey given in this phase of investigations may well have its justifications. In the first place, it gives us an idea of what is really known about this subject at present, and in the second place, it will perhaps encourage further investigations. In Suriname there is a great need for compilations which are also of use to the biologist whose work is of a more practical nature. Much attention is therefore given here to the diagnostic characters, and keys are added to identify the species. As literature is difficult to obtain in the Guyanas, I have given a more detailed account of every species instead of referring to any original description only. Moreover, in the case of many species no detailed description has yet been given. Literature references are not exhaustively treated here; only the most important sources pertaining to the taxonomy dealt with or particularly concerning the Surinam fauna are given.

    Syrphidae from Suriname (1966)
    In:  Studies on the Fauna of Suriname and other Guyanas (0300-5488) vol.9 (1966) nr.1 p.61

    Description: This study is intended as a continuation of the “Preliminary List of Syrphidae” published in volume V of this journal. As no further information on the Syrphid flies of the other Guianas has come to my knowledge these countries can be left out of consideration here. Since the dispatch of the manuscript of the “Preliminary List” to the editors several species not yet known from Suriname have been received. Once again a large part of these flies were collected by my son Drs. P. H. van Doesburg junior. Dr. D. C. Geijskes, Director of the Suriname Museum, Paramaribo, has also sent me big lots of Syrphids in which many interesting species were represented. To both gentlemen I wish to express heartfelt appreciation. Moreover my son deserves special thanks for interrupting his own demanding work to produce the beautiful, exact illustrations.
