Over 10,500 names are treated including 6,793 valid species and subspecies (with 1,907 primary synonyms), 1,271 genera and subgenera (with 393 primary synonyms), 93 families and 38 superfamilies. Nomenclatural and taxonomic problems are reviewed in detail, and many resolved. Detailed notes and references are provided where necessary. The constitution of a large number of families and superfamilies is discussed in detail, with the positions of some taxa rearranged in an attempt to form a stable base for future taxonomic studies. This is the first time the nomenclature of any large group of decapod crustaceans has been examined in such detail.

I am also hugely endebted to Dr Keith Spriggs who became my mentor in the field of RNA and without whom my understanding of the field would have been but a fraction of what it is now. Particular thanks go to Professor John Brookfield, an expert in the field of biological statistics and data retrieval. Likewise with Dr Susan Liddell for her proteomics assistance, a truly remarkable individual on par with Professor Brookfield in being able to simplify even the most complex techniques and analyses. Finally, I would really like to thank Janet Beccaloni for her time and resources at the Natural History Museum, London, permitting me access to the collections therein; ten years on and still a delight. Finally, amongst the greats, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Kondrashov… a true inspiration. I would also like to express my gratitude to those who, although may not have directly contributed, should not be forgotten due to their continued assistance and considerate nature: Dr Chris Wade (five straight hours of help was not uncommon!), Sue Buxton (direct to my bench creepy crawlies), Sheila Keeble (ventures and cleans where others dare not), Alice Young (read/checked my thesis and overcame her arachnophobia!) and all those in the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences.

SPATIO-TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF ASSEMBLAGES OF BRACHYURAN CRABS AT LAAMU ATOLL, MALDIVES BY A. A. J. KUMAR AND S. G. WESLEY ABSTRACT A spatio-temporal study of the brachyuran assemblages at five marine habitats at Maavah Island, Laamu atoll, Maldives, was conducted for a period of two years from April 2001 to March 2003. Forty-seven species and a sub-species were collected from the study sites. An analysis of the species diversity of the study sites revealed that distributions of families and species were site-specific although some species have wider distributions than others and that there were seasonal variations at some of the sites. The highest species richness (S = 32) and the highest diversity index was shown by a site at north lagoon, which has complex and heterogeneous habitats. The south-east beach brachyuran community, which was low in species richness, exhibited the lowest evenness. An analysis of the constancy index of the different brachyuran communities revealed that the ratio of the species number and abundance of the constant species were considerably higher than the accessory and accidental species.

Eaton, Extension Specialist, Entomology Wasp encounters can be painful, even life-threatening, for a few highly sensitive people. Yet some New Hampshire species are not very aggressive and they also serve as valuable predators of soft-bodied insects. A hands-off policy might be better for some situations, while others might require careful, direct action. The choice you make should depend on the species and situation. Aggressive species New Hampshire is “blessed” with at least nine species of yellow- jackets, along with two other aggressive wasp species, the bald- faced hornet and giant European hornet. All these members of the wasp family Vespidae live in colonies and have similar life cycles. We also have a moderately aggressive, large solitary wasp, called the cicada killer. Most yellow jackets are about ½ inch long, with yellow and black banded bodies, and clear wings. Bald-faced hornets grow up to ¾ Yellow jacket wasp. Wasps and hornets are im- inch long, with stout, black bodies marked with gray or white bands. portant predators of soft-bodied insects, such Giant European hornets grow up to one inch long, resembling giant as caterpillars. yellow jackets, with a stout body, but colored yellow, brown and black. Only the mated females of Vespidae species survive the winter. These females overwinter individually, usually in deep leaf litter in the woods. In the spring, those that survived emerge and search for a site to start a tiny nest. Bald faced hornets prefer eaves of buildings, horizontal branches, or some similar site protected from rain.

    This is a Pre-Review Version of This Factsheet - An Update Will Be Available When Reviews Are Complete The Asian giant hornet (AGH) or Japanese giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia, recently found in Brit- ish Columbia, Canada, and in Washington State, poses a significant threat to European honey bee (EHB), Apis mellifera, colonies and is a public health issue. The AGH is the world’s largest species of hornet, native to temperate and tropical Eastern Asia low mountains and forests. The hornet is well adapted to conditions in the Pacific Northwest. If this hornet becomes established, it will have a severe and damaging impact on the honey bee pop- ulation, the beekeeping industry, the environment, public health, and the economy. It is critical that we identify, trap, and attempt to eliminate this new pest before it becomes established and wide- spread.

NMFS proposes to implement the specifications for fishing year 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 separately prior to each fishing year. The specifications pertain to ACLs for coral reef ecosystem fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ or federal waters; generally 3-200 nautical miles or nm) around American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, and Hawaii, and a post-season AM to correct the overage of an ACL if it occurs. Because of the large number of individual coral reef ecosystem management unit species (CREMUS) in each island area, individual species were aggregated into higher taxonomic groups, generally at the family level.
