Entomological Society of America ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA 10001 Derekwood Lane, Suite 100, Lanham, MD 20706-4876 Phone: (301) 731-4535 • Fax: (301) 731-4538 E-mail: [email protected] • http://www.entsoc.org Proposal Form for new Common Name or Change of ESA-Approved Common Name Complete this form and send or e-mail to the above address. Submissions will not be considered unless this form is filled out completely. The proposer is expected to be familiar with the rules, recommendations, and procedures outlined in the “Use and Submission of Common Names” on the ESA website and with the discussion by A.B. Gurney, 1953, Journal of Economic Entomology 46:207-211. 1. Proposed new common name: European paper wasp 2. Previously approved common name (if any): None 3. Scientific name (genus, species, author): Polistes dominula (Christ) Order: Hymenoptera Family: Vespidae Supporting Information 4. Reasons supporting the need for the proposed common name: Since its introduction into North America (ca. 1968 New Jersey, ca. 1976 Boston area), this vespid has become widespread throughout the northern half of the United States and southern Canada. It some locations it has become the dominant Polistes species and a very visible insect in yards and gardens. 5. Stage or characteristic to which the proposed common name refers: “Paper wasp” refers to its habit of constructing a multi-celled umbrella-form nest. This is typical of Polistes spp., including those currently recognized as “paper wasps” in the ESA Common Names listing (e.g., Polistes aurifer/golden paper wasp, Polistes olivaceous/Macao paper wasp). This insect is native to Europe and a recent colonizer of North America. It is the only European Polistes to have become established in the continent and is the dominant Polistes sp. found in much of Europe, particularly in the the Meditteranean region. 6. Distribution (include references): Most of the northern US and southern Canada. It is a peri-domestic species concentrated around areas of human habitation. 7. Principal hosts (include references): General insect predator, particularly of Lepidoptera larvae. 8. References containing previous use of the proposed common name: This name is routinely used in popular press and web sites, as examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polistes_dominula (Accessed March 23, 2011) BugGuide - http://bugguide.net/node/view/5081 (Accessed March 23, 2011) Myrmecos.net - http://www.myrmecos.net/insects/Polistesdominulus6.html CalPhotos - http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?enlarge=1111+1111+2222+0988 This name is routinely used in Extension publications, as examples: Washington - http://king.wsu.edu/gardening/MGCD/Quiz/European%20Paper%20Wasp.pdf Colorado - http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05611.html Michigan - http://www.pestid.msu.edu/InsectsArthropods/EuropeanPaperWaspPolistesdominulus/tab id/257/Default.aspx Pennsylvania - http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/pdf/dominulus.pdf This name is sometimes used in refereed journals, although lack of a formal common name has limited its use in such publications in the US: Cranshaw, W.S., H.J.

British Columbia 101: 149- 150. 9. References using common names (give names) other than that proposed: None. The scientific name has been incorrectly stated as Polistes dominulus in many publications. Correction to dominula, which makes the species name consistent in gender with the genus name, is an error that this formalization of the common name may help speed its proper adoption. 10. Other insects or organisms to which the proposed common name might apply: Polistes gallicus is a common species of European that, in the past, has been confused with Polistes dominula. However, it has not become established in North America. 11. Steps you have taken to consult with other workers who are familiar with the insect or organism as to suitability of and need for the proposed common name: None; I have personally worked with this insect for close to a decade and am familiar with the associated literature. This name seems to be universally accepted.

Nevertheless, there are few studies on the diversity of social wasps occurring in this region. This study presents a list of social wasps (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Polistinae) collected actively with attractive bait in three rainforest fragments in Acre. A total of 758 wasps belonging to 11 genera and 36 species were collected. Nineteen species were new distribution records for Acre and three others were new records for Brazil. Based on our results, further investigations should lead to a significant increase in Polistinae diversity in this region, producing information for biogeographic studies and management of natural areas.

  • Monopoly of Reproduction by the Queen in the Social Wasp Ropalidia
    Proc Indian Natn Sci Acad 80 No. 5 December 2014 pp. 1025-1044 Printed in India. DOI: 10.16943/ptinsa/2014/v80i5/47971 Review Article Queen Pheromone and Monopoly of Reproduction by the Queen in the Social Wasp Ropalidia marginata ANIRUDDHA MITRA Laboratoire Evolution, Génomes et Spéciation, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, avenue de la Terrasse, Batiment 13, Gif sur Yvette, 91190, France (Received on 29 April 2014; Revised on 30 September 2014; Accepted on 13 October 2014) Ropalidia marginata is a primitively eusocial (truly social) wasp found in peninsular India. It is different from the typical primitively eusocial species in having docile queens that cannot use aggression to maintain reproductive monopoly. Recent studies using chemical analysis and bioassays indicate that Dufour’s gland is a source of the queen pheromone in this species. Queens appear to signal their presence to workers through their Dufour’s gland compounds, possibly by applying them on the nest surface, and this results in suppression of reproduction by workers, resulting in reproductive monopoly by the queen. The Dufour’s gland was found to contain saturated long chain hydrocarbons, which have recently been suggested to be the ancestral state of fertility signals in Hymenoptera. The Dufour’s gland composition differed significantly between queens and workers, and was also correlated with the state of ovarian development, varying continuously as a function of ovarian development, thereby advocating the honesty of the queen pheromone. This elucidates the mechanism of maintenance of eusociality through pheromonal queen signalling by the Dufour’s gland compounds. Key Words: Eusocial; Reproductive Monopoly; Queen Pheromone; Dufour’s Gland; Ropalidia marginata; Honest Signal Social insects like bees, ants and wasps have aroused whole theory.

  • Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
    418 Florida Entomologist 84(3) September 2001 SOME EFFECTS OF GROUP SIZE ON THE OUTPUT OF BEGINNING NESTS OF MISCHOCYTTARUS MEXICANUS (HYMENOPTERA: VESPIDAE) RONALD CLOUSE Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-8525 Current address: 120 W 45th St., 39th Fl., New York, NY 10036 ABSTRACT It is not known how pleometrosis (nest initiation in groups) and haplometrosis (nest initia- tion alone) are both maintained in the paper wasp Mischocyttarus mexicanus (Saussure). To answer this question, reliable measurements of the reproductive success of each tactic are needed. It is shown here that females that begin nests alone are more likely to raise a few daughters in rapid succession rather than many daughters at the same time. Females in small groups or alone also tend to have smaller first daughters than those females working in large groups. This difference in resource allocation between small and large groups causes measurements of per capita rates of production to correlate differently with group size de- pending on whether the number of cells, number of offspring, or weight of offspring added per day is measured. These data are consistent with the observation that haplometrotic fe- males receive more predator and conspecific attacks than pleometrotic females, and thus produce their first daughters quickly to guard the nest. In addition the chronic mystery of a negative correlation between per capita productivity and group size in social insects is shown to be an expected outcome and not necessarily an indication that efficiency decreases with an increase in group size. Key Words: Mischocyttarus mexicanus, paper wasps, efficiency, social behavior, Polistinae, per capita productivity RESUMEN No se sabe como pleometrosis (iniciación de nido en grupos) y haplometrosis (iniciación de nido solo) son mantenidos en la avispa de papel Mischocyttarus mexicanus (Saussure).

Fennici 43: 390–406. A review of previously published cladistic analyses of Polistes is presented. The two most recent analyses of Polistes are shown to be largely consistent phylogenetically. Although the taxonomy implied by each differs, this difference is shown to be mostly due to taxon sampling. After the review, a phylogenetic analysis of Polistes — the most data-rich yet undertaken — is presented. The analysis includes new data and the data from previously published analyses. The differing conclusions of the previous studies are discussed in light of the new analysis. After discussing the status of subge- neric taxonomy in Polistes, the new phylogeny is used to test an important hypothesis regarding the origin of social behavior: the haplodiploidy hypothesis of Hamilton. Prior phylogenetic analyses so while these studies achieved their goal, with within Polistes resolutions leading to rejection of Emery’s Rule, they had little to say about broader phylogenetic Cladistic analysis of species-level relationships patterns within the genus.

    Lecture 1 Principles of Applied Entomology The field of entomology may be divided into 2 major aspects. 1. Fundamental Entomology or General Entomology 2. Applied Entomology or Economic Entomology Fundamental Entomology deals with the basic or academic aspects of the Science of Entomology. It includes morphology, anatomy, physiology and taxonomy of the insects. In this case we study the subject for gaining knowledge on Entomology irrespective of whether it is useful or harmful. Applied Entomology or Economic Entomology deals with the usefulness of the Science of Entomology for the benefit of mankind. Applied entomology covers the study of insects which are either beneficial or harmful to human beings. It deals with the ways in which beneficial insects like predators, parasitoids, pollinators or productive insects like honey bees, silkworm and lac insect can be best exploited for our welfare. Applied entomology also studies the methods in which harmful insects or pests can be managed without causing significant damage or loss to us. In fundamental entomology insects are classified based on their structure into families and orders etc. in applied entomology insects can be classified based on their economic importance i.e. whether they are useful or harmful. Economic classification of insects Insects can be classified as follows based on their economic importance. This classification us according to TVR Ayyar. Insects of no economic importance:- There are many insects found in forests, and agricultural lands which neither cause harm nor benefit us. They are classified under this category. Human beings came into existence 1 million years ago. Insects which constitute 70-90% of all animals present in this world came into existence 250 - 500 million years ago.

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.
