Revision of the endemic South African genus Moegistorhynchus Macquart (Diptera: Nemestrinidae), with a species key, description of three new species and comments on pollination biology and biogeography.

The genus Moegistorhynchus Macquart is revised and its relationships are discussed. The genus is distributed across lowland and montane areas of the Western and Northern Cape provinces, extending from Cape Town (Western Cape province) in the south to Port Nolloth (Northern Cape province) in the north. Three new species are described from Western Cape specimens: Moegistorhynchus manningi sp.

The first species of Nemestrinidae (Diptera) endemic to Madagascar: A remarkable new species of Atriadops Wandolleck, 1897.

A new species of Nemestrinidae, Atriadops irwini Barraclough sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Sakaramy in the far north of Madagascar at about the same latitude as the Comoros Islands.

Catalogue of the Diptera (Insecta) of Morocco- an annotated checklist, with distributions and a bibliography.

The faunistic knowledge of the Diptera of Morocco recorded from 1787 to 2021 is summarized and updated in this first catalogue of Moroccan Diptera species. A total of 3057 species, classified into 948 genera and 93 families (21 Nematocera and 72 Brachycera), are listed. Taxa (superfamily, family, genus and species) have been updated according to current interpretations, based on reviews in the literature, the expertise of authors and contributors, and recently conducted fieldwork.

A striking new species of Prosoeca Schiner, 1867 (Diptera: Nemestrinidae): An important pollinator from the Bokkeveld Plateau, Northern Cape Province, South Africa.

For more than 20 years an undescribed species of Prosoeca has been referred to in numerous publications by pollination biologists, evolutionary biologists and ecologists, originally as being part of the Prosoeca peringueyi Lichtwardt, 1920, pollination guild. Ongoing research in these and related fields has necessitated the formal description of this large-bodied, striking new species, with a proboscis 1.5-2.

A-kinase-interacting protein localizes protein kinase A in the nucleus.

The genetic variability and covalent modifications associated with the amino terminus of the protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic (C) subunit suggest that it may contribute to protein-protein interactions and/or localization. By using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we identified a PKA-interacting protein (AKIP1) that binds to the amino terminus (residues 1-39) of the C subunit of PKA. The interaction was localized to the A helix (residues 14-39) of the C subunit and to the carboxyl terminus of AKIP1.
