赛蚊一新种(大叶赛蚊)的记述(双翅目:蚊科)

1972年,我们在宁夏回族自治区的银川采获一种新的赛蚊。由于新种赛蚊的第九背叶特大,因崦取名为大叶赛蚊Culista(Culiseta)megaloba新种。 大叶赛蚊Culiseta(Culiseta)megaloba新种形态特征 雌蚊 大型深褐色蚊虫,翅长6.3—7.0(平均6.5)毫米。 头部:头顶和后头覆盖淡色窄鳞,后头并有黑色竖鳞;沿复眼后缘有淡色鳞环,头侧为平铺的淡色宽鳞。触角蒂节(梗节)褐色,内面有淡色鳞,轮毛黑色。触须约为喙的1/8长,暗色,有时第三节基部和末端有少数淡色鳞。喙暗色,比前足股节赂长。 胸部:前胸前背片是淡色窄鳞和褐色宗毛,杂有少数淡色舌形鳞;前胸后背片具淡色窄鳞。中胸盾片的体壁黑色,具淡色或淡金黄色细鳞形成的不很明显的纵条,包括央、     

我国新蚤属斯氏组(stevensi group of Neopsylla)的分类研究及新种新亚种记述(Siphonaptera:Hystrichopsyllidae)

我国的新蚤属已知有18个种和亚种,其中有12种和亚种属于多毛组,6种属于斯氏组。著者等今整理了从云南、贵州、福建和陕西四省所得到的斯氏组新蚤,除尊新蚤和异种新蚤未获得以外共记述了10种和亚种。其中无规新蚤和福建新蚤为已知种,不同新蚤为我国新记录,均作了补充记述。另外还发现了斯氏新蚤的雌性。本种系Rothschild 氏于1915年根据采自尼泊尔-锡金边境的一只雄蚤而记述。至1932年Jordan氏根据从四川得到的标本记述了雌性形态。本文根据从云南获得的雌雄性标本,重新记述了雌性形态,并由于早先文献中证据的不足和结论的可疑提出Jordan氏1932年记述的雌蚤并非本种,可能是其他种新蚤的雌性。 本文记述了两个斯氏组的新种:1)相关新蚤新种,采自云南中甸 Apodemus agrarius;2)二毫新蚤新种,采自云南中甸 A.agrarius(?E.proditor)。另外,对特新蚤进行了种下分类,提出特新蚤乃一多型物种,根据其种群特征将所得标本分别订为三个地理亚种:(1)云南大理的为特特新蚤;贵阳的为贵阳特新蚤;福建的为闽北特新蚤。 最后编制了我国斯氏组新蚤12个种和亚种的分类检索表。     

Protein Components of Bacteriophages λ and λ Virulent

Parallel studies have been made of the protein coats of the temperate bacteriophage λ and of a deletion mutant, λ virulent. A new method for preparing ghosts of both phages by the action of Cu⁺⁺ is described. Protein ghosts of both phages can be dissolved in citrate at pH values below 3, more rapidly in the presence of 8 m urea. Both phages yielded three apparently identical protein components which can be separated by thin-layer gel filtration and thin-layer gel electrophoresis. The protein of molecular weight 47,000 ± 1,500 represents about 55% of the protein of the ghosts and is therefore likely to be the subunit of the head. The other proteins of molecular weight 30,000 ± 1,500 and 16,000 ± 1,500 represent approximately 25% and 20% of the protein, respectively. Amino acid analyses of the ghosts from the two phages have been carried out and show no significant differences. The buoyant density of phage λ virulent is 0.016 g/ml less than that of λ. Since no differences have been found in the protein components of the two phages, this indicates that the virulent mutant contains approximately 16% less deoxyribonucleic acid than the temperate phage.     

警纹地老虎Euxoa exclamationis(Linnaeus)的初步研究

1.警纹地老虎在新疆各地与黄地老虎同时混合发生,各虫态又与黄地老虎相近似,因而两种地老虎常常混淆不清,给研究和测报工作带来一定的困难。本文对它与黄地老虎的形态做了比较,生物学特性作了叙述。 2.此虫在南疆莎车地区一年发生二代,以滞育的第二代幼虫在土中越冬。越冬深度较黄地老虎为浅。成虫发生期为4月中旬至9月中旬,其间出现两次高峰,第一次为4月下旬至5月上旬,第二次为7月上中旬。 3.警纹地老虎虽是杂食性害虫,但其寄主植物范围较黄地老虎为狭。第一代幼虫一般生活在藜科杂草上,作物地除苜蓿外很少发现它的踪迹:第二代主要集中苜蓿、甜菜和马铃薯等作物为害。 4.各虫态历期长短随温度而异。卵期当温度为20℃及26℃时,分别为8-10天、4-6天;蛹期在17-18℃及25-27℃时,分别为25-28天、12-14天;幼虫期第—代以灰藜、甜菜、玉米饲养者,分别为26-33天、33天、37-38天。 5.成虫取食马蔺花蜜者产卵量较取食白菜花及清水者高1.29、2.26倍。幼虫取食甜菜者其成虫产卵量较取食玉米者高1.74倍,蛹重以取食灰藜和甜菜者较重,取食马铃薯和玉米者较轻。     

地里恙螨幼虫形态变异的研究

我们在研究甲乙两型地里恙螨子代的形态和两型地里恙螨的杂交实验中,发现这两者子代幼虫中有出现形态变异的现象。 1.后侧毛基的移位:从沿海某县采回的甲型地里恙螨(以下简称“C甲”)在实验室饲养繁殖的F_1标本中,出现一只左边后侧毛位置正常而右边后侧毛向上移位至感毛基的前侧(见图1)。左边A-P为27.6

Water Balance in the Land Crab, Gecarcinus lateralis, During the Intermolt Cycle

Gecarcinus lateralis can take moisture from a clamp substratumin amounts adequate for the needs of the entire intermolt cycle.It can also rehydrate in this way, even after severe dehydration. This crab is able to survive for many months when free waterof a wide range of salinities (0.30; = parts per thousand)is made available in a shallow dish. The crab dies within sevenweeks when the salinity of this water is 35. During proecdysisthe pericardial sacs of eyestalkless crabs become most swollenwhen the salinity of the available water is 15 or 23, and survivalduring and after ecdysis is greatest with water of 15. A crab in proecdysis shows no increase in the rate at whichwater enters following dehydration. Yet large amounts of waterare retained, particularly at the intermediate salinities. Maximalswelling of the pericardial sacs just prior to ecdysis is essentiallyequivalent in crabs with eyestalks, in eyestalkless crabs, andin eyestalkless crabs that have received an implant of centralnervous tissue. Hence, we conclude that a hormone causing theretention of water exists, but not in the eyestalks, in thebrain, or in the thoracic ganglionic mass. At ecdysis eyestalkless crabs show large increases in the dimensionsof the carapace, while crabs with eyestalks and eyestalklesscrabs that have received an implant of certain central nervoustissues show much less increase and may even show a decrease.Thus, we conclude that a hormone causing a release of waterat ecdysis is produced in the central nervous system. The advantages to the crab of a dual hormonal control of itswater balance are discussed.     

兰州地区枣树新害虫——枣绮夜蛾

枣绮夜蛾力兰州地区枣树的毁灭性害虫。据在西固泉枣产区的调查访问,1956年开始发现有此虫,以后逐年增多,为害甚烈。该地共有3,250株枣树,平均年产量20万斤左右,最高达50多万斤。自1956年后枣产量大幅度下降,1960年以后每年几乎没有收成。在其他枣区本种夜蛾也有不同程度的为害,实为目前枣树生产上急待解决的突出问题。为此,自1963年以来,我们对该虫进行了初步惆查与观察,以便摸清其发生规律与为害习性,初步提出防治办法。现将惆查及观察资料整理于后,以供参考。
