E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A yearly biodiversity monitoring of longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) in a Honduran cloud forest revealed a new species of prionine. Derobrachus cusucoensis sp. nov. is a locally relatively common species described from Cusuco National Park in Honduras, becoming the ninth species of this genus recorded for the country. Similar both in morphology and a montane habitat to D. dohrni, there is a possibility that this new species represents a disconnected population from the latter that evolved separately. An adapted insert for an existing identification key to all Derobrachus species is included. Key words: Central America, key, longhorned beetle, taxonomy, Cusuco National Park Introduction The Honduran landscape is characterized by mountains topped by cloud forest.

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • A Checklist of the Neuropterid Insects of British Columbia (Insecta: M Egaloptera, Neuroptera and Raphidioptera) with a Summary of Their Geographic Distribution
    J. ENTOMOL. SOC. BRIT. COLUMBIA 106, DECEMBER 2009 17 A checklist of the Neuropterid insects of British Columbia (Insecta: M egaloptera, Neuroptera and Raphidioptera) with a summary of their geographic distribution GEOFFREY G.E. SCUDDER1 and ROBERT A. CANNINGS2 ABSTRACT The Neuropterid orders in British Columbia consist of the Megaloptera, Neuroptera and Raphidioptera. Twelve families containing 89 species are represented. The distribution of these species is documented with reference to the 9 terrestrial ecoprovinces in British Columbia. Collection localities are given for species represented by 5 or fewer sites. Four species, 2 of Coniopterygidae and 2 of Hemerobiidae, are considered alien intro- ductions. INTRODUCTION The first list of British Columbia (BC) order, the Neuroptera. Most of the more neuropterid insects was published by recent research on these 3 taxa in BC, Spencer (1942) at a time when the 3 orders which include both aquatic and terrestrial in this group of insects that occur in the species, was summarized by Cannings and province (Megaloptera, Neuroptera and Scudder (2001) and Scudder et al. (2001). Raphidioptera) were considered as a single M ATERIALS AND M ETHODS The list of species here considered as recorded. An ecoprovince is an area with occurring in BC follows the classification consistent climatic or oceanographic, to- of Oswald and Penny (1991) and Penny et pographic and geological history al. (1997), with some nomenclature (Meidinger and Pojar 1991, Demarchi changes published since. In the recent lit- 1996). There are 10 ecoprovinces in BC; erature, Garland and Kevan (2007) have their size and broad internal uniformity discussed the Chrysopidae, and Cannings make them ideal units for the general dis- and Cannings (2006) the Mantispidae.

Parkinsonia flower (inset) and (right) stems and needle:sharp spines of Parkinsonia aculeata. By W. Woods, Entomologist One of the most troublesome weeds in northern Australia's pastoral country is Parkinsonia aculeata, commonly called Parkinsonia, Jerusalem Thorn, Palo Verde or Retama. In 1983 Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory started a joint biological control programme against this pest by sending the author overseas to search for its natural predators in southern USA, Mexico and Central America. A few insects show promise and one, a bruchid beetle Mimosestes ulkei, is being tested under quarantine in Queensland. Why is it a weed? Parkinsonia is a leguminous shrub or tree which can grow to a height of about 10 metres and is covered with vicious needle-sharp spines.

Considered primarily insectivorous predators on large arthropods but taking occasional small vertebrate prey, pallid bats were recently shown to be at least seasonally omnivorous; they demonstrate unusual dietary flexibility and opportunism in certain parts of their geographic range and at different times of year. In a few areas they take nectar from cactus flowers and eat cactus fruit pulp and seeds. Until recently mesquite bugs were primarily tropical- subtropical inhabitants of Mexico and Central America but have since occupied the southwestern United States where mesquite trees occur. Pallid bats regularly use night roosts as temporary shelters in which to process and consume large arthropods caught near their foraging areas.

The isolated yeasts varied among different populations of the predator. Culturable yeasts viz., Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Pichia anomala, Candida blankii, C. apicola, C. pimensis, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Kodamea ohmeri were isolated from gut, diverticulum and fat bodies of the adult females and characterized by biochemical and molecular tools. The yeast isolate of T. delbrueckii in combination with honey and castor pollen grains were found to increase the fecundity of the adult females as compared to those that were reared on honey and pollen in different generations. KEY WORDS: Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi, yeast, molecular characterization, fecundity.
