The seasonal wing-length variation and bionomy of Tinearia alternata (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Original language description

Tinearia alternata (Say, 1824) is one of the most common cosmopolitan species of the family Psychodidae and is widespread throughout the world wherever it has suitable living and reproduction conditions. Due to its neutral relationship (whether positive or direct) to humans, this species is often overlooked and therefore insufficiently studied. This work provides a detailed analysis of the one-year life cycle of this species and also analyses the seasonal variability of wing length in both sexes of this species. From environmental variables, temperature positively correlates with abundance of both males and females of T. alternata, while precipitation showed negative correlations only with female abundance. T. alternata has two significant population maxima. The first large maximum, which consists of three mutually overlapping generations, was recorded in May-June. The second maximum was recorded at the end of August. The last indication of third maximum, represented by only a few specimens, was recorded at the turn of October and November. The data suggest a correlation between abundance (or activity) of both sexes with precipitation, with an inverse trend in values visible. Though we did not confirm a statistically significant correlation between precipitation and activity (abundance), we concluded that during periods of more intense precipitation, the activity (abundance) decreased to very low values. By analysing results of wing length of both sexes of T. alternata, we found out that the largest wing length for both sexes was recorded at beginning and end of the season, while shortest wing length for both sexes was recorded between June and August.
