Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae) of the Arabian Peninsula
FAUNA OF ARABIA 22: 381-434 Date of publication: 18.12.2006 The dusty lacewings (Neuroptera: Coniopterygidae) of the Arabian Peninsula Gyorgy Sziraki and Antonius van Harten A b s t r act: The descriptions of nine new coniopterygid species (Cryptoscenea styfaris n. sp., Coniopteryx (Xeroconiopteryx) pfat yarcus n. sp., C (X) caudata n. sp., C (X) dudichi n. sp., C (X) stylobasalis n. sp., C (X) armata n. sp., C (X) loksai n. sp., C (Coniopteryx) gozmanyi n. sp., Conwentzia obscura n. sp.), and an annotated list of 53 other species of dusty lacewings found in the Arabian Peninsula are given, together with an identification key. Nine described species (Aleuropteryx wawrikae, Coniocompsa smithersi, Nimboa espanoli, N. kasyi, N. ressii, Coniopteryx (X) aegyptiaca, C (X) hastata, C (X) kerzhneri, C (X) mongolica) are also new to the fauna of the Arabian Peninsula. Aleuropteryx cruciata Szid.ki, 1990 is regarded as a junior synonym of A. arabica Meinander, 1977, while Helicoconis serrata Meinander, 1979 is transferred to the genus Cryptoscenea. A new informal species-group (the unguihipandriata-group) is proposed within the subgenus Xeroconiopteryx. Coniopteryx (X) martinmeinanderi nom. nov. is pro posed for C (X) forcata Meinander, 1998, which is a junior primary homonym. 4.~, 0.fi?--' ~ J (Coniopterygidae :~~, ~) o~' ~~, ~~) ~ ~ I! .. ~ :; J.jJpl ;y..ill ~":il 4J.~j if ~y of' ~ ~ WLi ~JJ t.lyl a.........;.....A..PJ f' :~~ 41"';"'i ~ ~ ;~..b:- t.lyi L4i J.>- J.j.J4' y t.'f! a.........; j ~i f' .~ c.l:A..

Abstract With the increase in the availability of genomic data, sequences from different loci are usually concatenated in a supermatrix for phylogenetic inference. However, as an alternative to the supermatrix approach, several implementations of the multispecies coalescent (MSC) have been increasingly used in phylogenomic analyses due to their advantages in accommodating gene tree topological heterogeneity by taking account population-level processes. Moreover, the development of faster algorithms under the MSC is enabling the analysis of thousands of loci/taxa. Here, we explored the MSC approach for a phylogenomic dataset of Insecta. -

Legwaila1, Motshwari Obopile2 and Bamphitlhi Tiroesele2* 1Botswana National Museum, Box 00114, Gaborone, Botswana. 2Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, P/Bag 00114, Gaborone, Botswana. Received 13 April, 2021; Accepted 16 July, 2021 The carmine spider mite (CSM; Tetranychus cinnabarinus Bois.) is one of the most destructive pests of vegetables, especially tomatoes. Its management in Botswana has, for years, relied on the use of pesticides. This study evaluated the efficacy of abamectin, methomyl and chlorfenapyr against CSM eggs under laboratory conditions in Botswana. Each treatment was replicated three times. The toxic effect was evaluated in the laboratory bioassay after 24, 48 and 72 h of application of pesticides. This study revealed that chlorfenapyr was relatively more effective since it had lower LD50 values than those for abamectin and methomyl. It was further revealed that at recommended rates, 90% mortalities occurred 48 h after application of methomyl and chlorfenapyr, while abamectin did not achieve 90% mortality throughout the study period. This implies that abamectin requires extra dosages to achieve mortalities comparable to those of the other two pesticides. The study has found that chlorfenapyr was the most effective insecticide followed by methomyl and then abamectin when applied on CSM eggs. -

The Biology of the Predator Complex of the Filbert Aphid, Myzocallis Coryli
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Russell H. Messing for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presented in July 1982 Title: The Biology of the Predator Complex of the Filbert Aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) in Western Oregon. Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy M. T. AliNiiee Commercial filbert orchards throughout the Willamette Valley were surveyed for natural enemies of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze). A large number of predaceous insects were found to prey upon M. coryli, particularly members of the families Coccinellidae, Miridae, Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae, and Syrphidae. Also, a parasitic Hymenopteran (Mesidiopsis sp.) and a fungal pathogen (Triplosporium fresenii) were found to attack this aphid species. Populations of major predators were monitored closely during 1981 to determine phenology and synchrony with aphid populations and to determine their relative importance. Adalia bipunctata, Deraeocoris brevis, Chrysopa sp. and Hemerobius sp. were found to be extremely well synchronized with aphid population development cycles. Laboratory feeding trials demonstrated that all 4 predaceous insects tested (Deraeocoris brevis, Heterotoma meriopterum, Compsidolon salicellum and Adalia bipunctata) had a severe impact upon filbert aphid population growth. A. bipunctata was more voracious than the other 3 species, but could not live as long in the absence of aphid prey. Several insecticides were tested both in the laboratory and field to determine their relative toxicity to filbert aphids and the major natural enemies. Field tests showed Metasystox-R to be the most effective against filbert aphids, while Diazinon, Systox, Zolone, and Thiodan were moderately effective. Sevin was relatively ineffective. All insecticides tested in the field severely disrupted the predator complex. -

A New Type of Neuropteran Larva from Burmese Amber
A 100-million-year old slim insectan predator with massive venom-injecting stylets – a new type of neuropteran larva from Burmese amber Joachim T. haug, PaTrick müller & carolin haug Lacewings (Neuroptera) have highly specialised larval stages. These are predators with mouthparts modified into venominjecting stylets. These stylets can take various forms, especially in relation to their body. Especially large stylets are known in larva of the neuropteran ingroups Osmylidae (giant lacewings or lance lacewings) and Sisyridae (spongilla flies). Here the stylets are straight, the bodies are rather slender. In the better known larvae of Myrmeleontidae (ant lions) and their relatives (e.g. owlflies, Ascalaphidae) stylets are curved and bear numerous prominent teeth. Here the stylets can also reach large sizes; the body and especially the head are relatively broad. We here describe a new type of larva from Burmese amber (100 million years old) with very prominent curved stylets, yet body and head are rather slender. Such a combination is unknown in the modern fauna. We provide a comparison with other fossil neuropteran larvae that show some similarities with the new larva. The new larva is unique in processing distinct protrusions on the trunk segments. Also the ratio of the length of the stylets vs. the width of the head is the highest ratio among all neuropteran larvae with curved stylets and reaches values only found in larvae with straight mandibles. We discuss possible phylogenetic systematic interpretations of the new larva and aspects of the diversity of neuropteran larvae in the Cretaceous. • Key words: Neuroptera, Myrmeleontiformia, extreme morphologies, palaeo evodevo, fossilised ontogeny. -
