This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Big-eyed bugs (Geocoris spp. Fallen,´ Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) are ubiquitous, omnivorous insect predators whose plant feeding behavior raises the question of whether they benefit or harm plants. However, several studies have investigated both the potential of Geocoris spp. to serve as biological control agents in agriculture and their importance as agents of plant indirect defense in nature. These studies have demonstrated that Geocoris spp. effectively reduce herbivore populations and increase plant yield. Previous work has also indicated that Geocoris spp. respond to visual and olfactory cues when foraging and choosing their prey and that associative learning of prey and plant cues informs their foraging strategies. For these reasons, Geocoris spp. have become models for the study of tritrophic plant-herbivore-predator interactions. Here, we present detailed images and ecological observations of G. pallens Stal˚ and G.

    Review Venoms of Heteropteran Insects: A Treasure Trove of Diverse Pharmacological Toolkits Andrew A. Walker 1,*, Christiane Weirauch 2, Bryan G. Fry 3 and Glenn F. King 1 Received: 21 December 2015; Accepted: 26 January 2016; Published: 12 February 2016 Academic Editor: Jan Tytgat 1 Institute for Molecular Biosciences, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD 4072, Australia; [email protected] (G.F.K.) 2 Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA; [email protected] (C.W.) 3 School of Biological Sciences, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD 4072, Australia; [email protected] (B.G.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-7-3346-2011 Abstract: The piercing-sucking mouthparts of the true bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) have allowed diversification from a plant-feeding ancestor into a wide range of trophic strategies that include predation and blood-feeding. Crucial to the success of each of these strategies is the injection of venom. Here we review the current state of knowledge with regard to heteropteran venoms. Predaceous species produce venoms that induce rapid paralysis and liquefaction. These venoms are powerfully insecticidal, and may cause paralysis or death when injected into vertebrates. Disulfide- rich peptides, bioactive phospholipids, small molecules such as N,N-dimethylaniline and 1,2,5- trithiepane, and toxic enzymes such as phospholipase A2, have been reported in predatory venoms. However, the detailed composition and molecular targets of predatory venoms are largely unknown. In contrast, recent research into blood-feeding heteropterans has revealed the structure and function of many protein and non-protein components that facilitate acquisition of blood meals.

    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1976,4 (2) THE GENUS MENETIA (LACERTILIA, SCINCIDAE) IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA G.M. STORR* [Received 1 July 1975. Accepted 1 October 1975. Published 30 September 1976.] ABSTRACT The Australian genus Menetia comprises at least five species, three of which occur in Western Australia, namely M. greyii Gray, M. maini novo and M. surda novo A lectotype is designated for M. greyii. INTRODUCTION Until recently all skinks with an immovable transparent lower eyelid were placed in Ablepharus. Fuhn (1969) broke up this polyphyletic assemblage, allotting the Australian species to nine groups, including the genus Menetia. Fuhn, and indeed all workers till now, regarded Menetia as monotypic. Greer (1974) believes that Menetia is derived from the genus Carlia. All the material used in this revision is lodged in the Western Australian Museum. Genus Menetia Gray Menetia Gray, 1845, 'Catalogue of the specimens of lizards in the collection ofthe British Museum', p.65. Type-species (by monotypy): M. greyii Gray. * Curator of Birds and Reptiles, W.A. Museum. 189 Diagnosis Very small, smooth, terrestrial skinks with lower eyelid immovable and bearing a large circular transparent disc incompletely surrounded by granules; digits 4 + 5; first supraocular long and narrow and obliqu~ly orientated. Distribution Most of Australia except the wettest and coolest regions. At least five species, three of them in Western Australia. Description Snout-vent length up to 38 mm. Tail fragile, 1.2-2.0 times as long as snout to vent. Nasals usually separated widely. No supranasals or postnasals. Prefrontals usually separated very narrowly. Frontal small, little if any larger than prefrontals.

Although present in Darwin for some time, the C species has only recently become widespread in the Brisbane region. We investigated the density A and distribution of this and two native house-dwelling geckos in urban, suburban and bushland R environments within Brisbane. The spatially clumped insect resources associated with external light T sources were effectively utilised by both urban and suburban populations of Asian House Geckos, S suggesting likely competitive interactions between the species on structures where the species co-existed.
