Parasitic arthropods of some wild rodents from Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station,State of São Paulo,Brazil

A study of the associations between three species of rodents in the Atlantic forest and their parasitic arthropods was undertaken at the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station, located in the State of S?o Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, from March 1989 to February 1990. Individuals of three species, Oryzomys russatus, Proechimys iheringi and Nectomys squamipes were captured and examined for ectoparasites. Eleven species of parasitic arthropods were found, including four species of insects and seven of Acari. Parasitism intensity, phenology, and rainfall were positively correlated with the abundance of the ectoparasites and their hosts. The most abundant host was O. russatus (Muridae: Sigmodontinae), and the most common parasite on it was the laelapid mite Gigantolaelaps oudemansi. The cuterebrid Metacuterebra apicalis caused myiasis in O. russatus. A mutualistic association between the staphylinid beetle Amblyopinus sp. and its host P. iheringi (Echimyidae) was observed. The few N. squamipes captured had small numbers of ectoparasites.     

Ein mitteldevonischer Antiarche,Gerdalepis jesseni n. sp., aus der Sötenicher Mulde,Nord-Eifel (Rheinisches Schiefergebirge)

From the middle Eifelian Strata of the Eifel District in Germany the well preserved exoskeletal shoulder girdle of the AntiarchGerdalepis jesseni n. sp. is described. Although of similar triangular shape the rather small shoulder girdle of the new species is relatively lower and longer than that ofG. rhenana (Beyrich). The anteriormediodorsal-bone (AMD) of the shoulder girdle has a short posterodorsal protruding dorsomedian spine, recognized for the first time at a member of this genus. The crista apicalis, still of unknown importance, is formed singularly by the posteriordorsolateral-bone (PDL). An additional smallGerdalepis- specimen from the same area, figured by Gross (1941: Pls. 21-22), probably also belongs toG. jesseni n. sp..     

稻虱红单节螯蜂寄生不同虫龄白背飞虱对二者发育表现的影响

【目的】为了解稻虱红单节螯蜂Haplogonatopus apicalis与白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera间的互作关系,开展了稻虱红单节螯蜂在白背飞虱不同龄期寄生时,对寄主及其自身发育表现影响的研究。【方法】在室内25℃条件下,观察了被寄生的白背飞虱各龄若虫及其寄生蜂稻虱红单节螯蜂的发育表现。【结果】白背飞虱2, 3, 4和5龄若虫被寄生后,当龄及其后各龄的历期均显著延长;2和3龄若虫被寄生后,成虫羽化率仅分别为54.29%和60.95%,显著低于在4和5龄若虫被寄生后的成虫羽化率（分别为96.20%和100%）。稻虱红单节螯蜂寄生白背飞虱5龄若虫后的发育历期（23.77 d）显著短于寄生2龄若虫后的发育历期（27.77 d）;寄生3龄若虫的成蜂羽化率最高,为56.19%;而寄生5龄若虫的羽化雄蜂比例最高,为77.12%。【结论】稻虱红单节螯蜂寄生可使白背飞虱若虫发育历期显著延长,白背飞虱2和3龄若虫是稻虱红单节螯蜂发育的适宜寄主。     

Contribution to the stone-fly (Plecoptera) fauna of the Volga and Don river basins

In the Volga and Don river basins, 17 stonefly species are known: 16 from the Volga, and 6 from the Don basin. The fauna is dominated by the species with wide, European (Isogenus nubecula, Nemoura flexuosa, N. dubitans, Amphinemura sulcicollis, Brachyptera braueri, Isoperla difformis, I. grammatica, Leuctra hippopus, Xanthoperla apicalis, Siphonoperla burmeisteri) and Transpalaearctic ranges (Taeniorterykh nebulosa, Nemurella pictetii, Amphinemura borealis, Nemoura cinerea, Capnia atra, Leuctra fusca, Isoperla obscura).     

Aglomerular hemipteran antennal lobes--basic neuroanatomy of a small nose

We have compared the basic organization of the primary olfactory centre, the antennal lobe (AL), in 4 hemipteran species representing the 2 major lineages in this order. The Homoptera were represented by the psyllid Trioza apicalis and its aphid relatives the grain aphid Sitobion avenae Fabricius and the rose-grain aphid Metopolophium dirhodum Walker, whereas the Heteroptera were represented by the pentatomid stink bug Euschistus heros Fabricius. The olfactory systems of psyllids and aphids are generally very small, with low numbers of afferents in comparison to other insect groups, and the smallest described so far belongs to T. apicalis, comprising less than 50 olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). Originally, we tried to estimate numbers of olfactory glomeruli in the AL of T. apicalis, which in insects generally correspond closely to the number of different types of ORNs. Neither immunocytochemical staining nor anterograde staining of ORNs revealed any glomerular structures in the ALs of T. apicalis or the 2 aphids that were included for comparison. In contrast, the ALs of the pentatomid stink bug E. heros displayed numerous distinct and well-delineated glomeruli, showing that aglomerular ALs are not typical of all insects within the order Hemiptera. Glomeruli are hallmark features of olfactory lobes in many different phyla, and the absence of glomerular structures in psyllids and aphids appears to be unique in insects that depend on olfactory orientation.     

A new genus and new species of Philippine stick insects (Insecta: Phasmatodea) and phylogenetic considerations

Based on characters of both sexes, a new genus and species of the basal euphasmatodean lineage Aschiphasmatidae is described and figured from the Philippines. Dallaiphasma eximius gen. et sp. n. displays interesting features for the group, including: a cone-shaped vertex, which is notably raised above the pronotum; the tibial area apicalis represented by a depressed membranous posterior lateral region, and a strongly sclerotized central apical region; the euplantulae consisting of smooth-type attachment pads; the pretarsal claws pectination reduced to minute denticulations; and the well-differentiated boundary between the metanotum and the first abdominal tergum. The phylogenetic information content of the new findings is discussed. Furthermore, as a result of this study, the Aschiphasmatidae are newly recorded from Mindoro island, and now include five genera and six species of the Philippines.     

Suspected side effects of a herbicide on dung beetle populations (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).

This paper addresses the association between use of a herbicide and anecdotal reports of reduced dung degradation and dung beetle populations. Dung beetles were monthly collected at two adjacent ranches in Mexico. Ranches were similar in area, elevation, exposition, soil, and vegetation, but differed in weed control. Ranch A controlled weeds manually, and ranch B controlled unwanted vegetation with applications of the herbicide Tordon 101M. The main species recovered on each ranch (Ataenius apicalis) was significantly more abundant at ranch A than at ranch B. Conversely, similar numbers of a second species, Ataenius sculptor, were recovered from both ranches. Three lines of evidence support the tentative conclusion that herbicide applications may be causing a decline in populations of A. apicalis on ranch B. First, the greatest reductions of A. apicalis were observed during periods of herbicide application. Second, A. sculptor, apparently little affected by these same herbicide applications, is active primarily during months without herbicide applications. Third, preliminary results of laboratory studies show that exposure to herbicide can impair reproductive function of the dung beetle Canthon cyanellus.

Bispiculum inaequale n. gen. & sp. (Nematoda: Tetradonematidae) from New Zealand wood-boring beetles (Curculionidae: Platypodinae )

Abstract

A monotypic new genus, Bispiculum, is erected for B. inaequale n.sp. from the haemocoel of Platypus apicalis, P. caviceps, and P. gracilis, ambrosia beetles indigenous to New Zealand. B. inaequale is characterised by its possession of a pair of spicules and three rows of anal papillae in the male, and ‘escape-form’ juveniles. This is the first record of a tetradonematid in New Zealand, and the first of a tetradonematid from the Curculionidae. All stages are described, and the life history is discussed. The diagnosis of the Tetradonematidae is emended, the family is reviewed, and a key to species is provided.     

Ecology and production of invertebrates in a Canadian coldwater spring-springbrook system

Valley Spring is a hardwater rheocrene consisting of a single point issue and a springbrook some 60 m long. The fauna consists of > 60 taxa, with insects and mites predominating. During 1985–86, benthic densities varied both along the springbrook and at single stations over time (range 58 to 756 animals 900 cm⁻²). A clear longitudinal zonation of many of the major taxa occurred with the Diptera tending to be more abundant downstream, the Plecoptera and Acari more abundant upstream, and the Copepoda and Bivalvia most abundant in mid- and downstream sections. The Gastropoda and Trichoptera occurred throughout the system although, in the case of the latter, there were distributional differences at the species level (e.g. Diplectrona modesta downstream, Parapsyche apicalis and Lepidostoma vernale upstream). Life histories varied between major species and were grouped into: (A) those species in which there was a wide range of larval sizes for most of the year, with no easily discernible temporal succession of cohorts, e.g. L. vernale, P. apicalis, Sialis sp., Dixa sp., Metriocnemus sp., Trissopelopia sp., Micropsectra sp. and Mucronothrus nasalis (the generation time of species in this group ranged from < 1 year to > 2 years); and (B) those species in which there was a clear pattern of larval growth, with obvious temporal succession of cohorts, e.g. D. modesta, Nemoura trispinosa and Hyalella azteca (all of these species were univoltine). Differences between the “adaptive strategies” of these two life history types are discussed. Total secondary production in Valley Spring in 1985–86 was estimated to be 913.2 g wet wt yr⁻¹. Production upstream was more than twice that downstream (11.21 and 4.01 g wet wt m⁻² yr⁻¹, respectively). The three most abundant species of caddisfly together contributed > 30% of the total production, the stonefly N. trispinosa contributed > 17%, while the chironomids accounted for >16% of production at downstream stations but only 3% upstream.     

A taxonomic review of the Neoserica (sensu lato) abnormis group (Coleoptera,Scarabaeidae, Sericini)

The present paper revises the species belonging to the Neoserica (sensu lato) abnormis group, so far known only with two nominal species. Twenty new species are herein described from Indochina and southern China: N. abnormoides sp. n. (Vietnam, China), N. allolaotica sp. n., N. namthaensis sp. n., N. simplicissima sp. n. (Laos), N. thailandensis sp. n. (Thailand), N. alloputaoana sp. n., N. kanphantensis sp. n., N. natmatoungensis sp. n., N. putaoana sp. n., N. taunggyiana sp. n. (Myanmar), N. lamellosa sp. n., N. tonkinea sp. n. (Vietnam), N. bairailingshanica sp. n., N. euyunnanica sp. n., N. huangi sp. n., N. jiangxiensis sp. n., N. trifida sp. n., N. yaoi sp. n., N. yingjiangensis sp. n. (China), N. cardamomensis sp. n. (Indochina and southern China). One new combination is established: Neoserica ponderosa Arrow, 1946, comb. n. The lectotypes of Neoserica abnormis Moser, 1908 and the taxonomically uncertain N. inclinata Brenske, 1898, which very likely also belongs to this species group, are designated herein. A key to the species and to species groups is given, the genitalia of all species including their habitus are illustrated. Maps of species distribution are included.     

Description of nine South American species of the genus Neralsia cameron, with low scutellar carina (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae)

In this study a total of nine new species of the genus Neralsia are described for South America: N. desantisi Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., N. equilatera Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., N. hermafrodita Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., N. marioi Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., N. moisesi Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., N. obelix Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., N. parafossulata Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., N. pseudoneralsia Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp. and N. rauli Jiménez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., all of them have in common the low carina separating the scutellar foveae. Other six known Neralsia species, N. albipennis (Kieffer), N. bogotensis (Kieffer), N. flavidipennis (Kieffer), N. fossulata (Kieffer), N. pilosa (Borgmeier) and N. striaticeps (Kieffer) have the same scutellar character.
