Duncan Escarpment Provincial Park DUNCAN ESCARPMENT PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Duncan Escarpment Provincial Park in 2014 (44.42305, - 80.46923, 411m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from April 28 – September 18, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed using the bulk sample analysis protocol. A total of 1800 BINs were obtained. Over half the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and beetles (Coleoptera; Figure 2). In total, 481 arthropod species were named, representing 29.6% of the BINs from the site (Appendix 1). All the BINs were assigned at least Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Duncan to family, and 63.1% were assigned to a genus Escarpment Provincial Park in 2014. (Appendix 2). Specimens collected from Duncan Escarpment represent 166 different families and 539 genera. Figure 2. Taxonomy breakdown of BINs captured in the Malaise trap at Duncan Escarpment. APPENDIX 1.

Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Errata and First Update to the 2010 Checklist of the Lepidoptera Of
    Errata and first uppppdate to the 2010 checklist of the Lepidoptera of Alberta Gregory R. Pohl, Jason J Dombroskie, Jean‐François Landry, Charles D Bird, and Vazrick Nazari lead author contact: [email protected] Introduction: Since the Annotated list of the Lepidoptera of Alberta was published in March 2010 (Pohl et al. 2010), a few typographical and nomenclatural errors have come to the authors' attention, as well as three erroneous AB records that were inadvertently omitted from that publication. Additionally, a considerable number of new AB species records have been brought to our attention since that checklist went to press. As expected, most are microlepidoptera. We detail all these items below, in what we hope will be a regular series of addenda to the AB list. If you are aware of further errors or additions to the AB Lepidoptera list, please contact the authors. Wit hin the NidNoctuoidea, there are a few minor iiiinconsistencies in the order of species wihiithin genera, and in the order of genera within tribes or subtribes, as compared to the sequence published by Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010). As well, the sequence of tribes in the AB list does not exactly match that of Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010), particularly in the Erebinae. We are not detailing those minor differences here unless they involve a move to a new genus or new higher taxonomic category. Errata: Abstract, p. 2, line 10, should read "1530... annotations are given" 41 Nemapogon granella (p. 55). Add Kearfott (1905) to the AB literature records. 78 Caloptilia syringella (p. 60). This species should be placed in the genus Gracillaria as per De Prins & De Prins (2005).

This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from April 29 – September 19, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed; every other sample was analyzed using the individual specimen protocol while the second half was analyzed via bulk analysis. A total of 3029 BINs were obtained. Over half the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and true bugs (Hemiptera; Figure 2). In total, 595 arthropod species were named, representing 21.3% of the BINs from the Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Awenda Provincial site (Appendix 1). All the BINs were assigned at least Park in 2014. to family, and 54% were assigned to a genus (Appendix 2). Specimens collected from Awenda represent 214 different families and 705 genera.

We documented as many phenotypes. Recent material was needed for DNA Lepidoptera species as possible with MV/UV lights, sequencing. rotten banana/brown sugar bait, and diurnal collecting with nets. We present records for 235 species, including From 3-4 June 2018 we visited the Otter Slough 193 Macrolepidoptera and 19 Rhopalocera 3. Habitats Conservation Area to sample Catocala and document as sampled include hydric hardwood forest, cypress many other co-occurring Lepidoptera species as swamp, open wetlands, and field.

  • Descripción De Nuevas Especies Animales De La Península Ibérica E Islas Baleares (1978-1994): Tendencias Taxonómicas Y Listado Sistemático
    Graellsia, 53: 111-175 (1997) DESCRIPCIÓN DE NUEVAS ESPECIES ANIMALES DE LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA E ISLAS BALEARES (1978-1994): TENDENCIAS TAXONÓMICAS Y LISTADO SISTEMÁTICO M. Esteban (*) y B. Sanchiz (*) RESUMEN Durante el periodo 1978-1994 se han descrito cerca de 2.000 especies animales nue- vas para la ciencia en territorio ibérico-balear. Se presenta como apéndice un listado completo de las especies (1978-1993), ordenadas taxonómicamente, así como de sus referencias bibliográficas. Como tendencias generales en este proceso de inventario de la biodiversidad se aprecia un incremento moderado y sostenido en el número de taxones descritos, junto a una cada vez mayor contribución de los autores españoles. Es cada vez mayor el número de especies publicadas en revistas que aparecen en el Science Citation Index, así como el uso del idioma inglés. La mayoría de los phyla, clases u órdenes mues- tran gran variación en la cantidad de especies descritas cada año, dado el pequeño núme- ro absoluto de publicaciones. Los insectos son claramente el colectivo más estudiado, pero se aprecia una disminución en su importancia relativa, asociada al incremento de estudios en grupos poco conocidos como los nematodos. Palabras clave: Biodiversidad; Taxonomía; Península Ibérica; España; Portugal; Baleares. ABSTRACT Description of new animal species from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands (1978-1994): Taxonomic trends and systematic list During the period 1978-1994 about 2.000 new animal species have been described in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. A complete list of these new species for 1978-1993, taxonomically arranged, and their bibliographic references is given in an appendix.
