Pretty River Valley Provincial Park PRETTY RIVER VALLEY PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Pretty River Valley Provincial Park in 2014 (44.41232, -80.30035, 340m 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 3534 BINs were obtained. Nearly 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, 942 arthropod species were named, representing 29.7% of the BINs from the site (Appendix 1). All the BINs were assigned at least to family, and 64.9% were assigned to a genus (Appendix 2). Specimens Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Pretty River collected from Pretty River Valley represent 238 different Valley Provincial Park in 2014. families and 947 genera.

  • Pear Sawfly Caliroa Cerasi Order Hymenoptera, Family Tenthredinidae; Common Sawflies Introduced Pest
    Pests of Trees and Shrubs Pear sawfly Caliroa cerasi Order Hymenoptera, Family Tenthredinidae; common sawflies Introduced pest Host plants: Cherry, cotoneaster, hawthorn, mountain- ash, pear and plum Description: Adult sawflies are 5–8 mm long, black and yellow, and stout bodied. Larvae are slimy, slug-like, and shiny olive-green to blackish in color. They are 12 mm long when full grown. Life history: Adults emerge early in June and lay single eggs on leaf undersides. Larvae appear in June, feed for about a month, then drop to the soil to pupate. A second generation can begin in early August. Overwintering: Prepupae in the soil. Damage symptoms: Larvae feed on upper leaf surfaces, Scorched leaves caused by pear sawfly larva defoliation leaving only the leaf veins. Heavy defoliation gives the damage.

Monitoring: Look for black, slug-like larvae feeding on the upper surface of leaves in June and again in August, and look for their damage on the leaves. Physical control: Small populations of larvae can be removed by hand and destroyed. Chemical control: Horticultural oils and insecticidal soaps are very effective against larvae.

  • 1 an Example of Parasitoid Foraging: Torymus Capite
    1 AN EXAMPLE OF PARASITOID FORAGING: TORYMUS CAPITE (HUBER; HYMEMOPTERA: TORYMIDAE [CHALCIDOIDEA]) ATTACKING THE GOLDENROD GALL-MIDGE ASTEROMYIA CARBONIFERA (O. S.; DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE) Richard F. Green Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Minnesota Duluth Duluth, MN 55812 U. S. A. INTRODUCTION Van Alphen and Vet (1986) refer to the work of Arthur E. Weis (1983) on a torymid wasp that attacks a gall midge on goldenrod. This system seems to be quite well-studied, particularly, but not exclusively, by Weis. Van Alphen and Vet point out that the parasitoids tend to attack about the same proportion of hosts in patches (galls) with varying numbers of hosts. This has implications for the foraging strategy that the parasitoids use. In this note I want to do three things: (1) outline the basic biology of the organisms involved, (2) describe the results of a foraging experiment conducted by Weis (1983), and (3) interpret the results in terms of Oaten’s stochastic model of optimal foraging. Arthur E. Weis is coauthor of a book (Abrahamson and Weis 1997) on the biology of a three trophic-level system involving a goldenrod stem-gall maker Eurosta solidaginis, its host plant and its enemies. The work described here is earlier work, done an a different species. The biology of the system The species of greatest interest are the torymid parasitoid Torymus capite, which is a larval parasitoid of the gall midge Asteromyia carbonifera, which itself makes blister-like galls on the leaves of goldenrod, especially Canadian goldenrod, Solidgo canadiensis L. (Compositae). There are three generations of gall midge (and its parasitoids) each year.

Phytomyza linguae Lundqvist, 1947 is recorded as new to Finland. Keywords Checklist, Finland, Diptera, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction The Agromyzidae are called the leaf-miner or leaf-mining flies and not without reason, although a substantial fraction of the species feed as larvae on other parts of living plants. While Agromyzidae is traditionally placed in the superfamily Opomyzoidea, its exact relationships with other acalyptrate Diptera are poorly understood (see for example Winkler et al. 2010). Two subfamilies are recognised within the leaf-mining flies: Agromyzinae and Phytomyzinae. Both are now recognised as natural groups (Dempewolf 2005, Scheffer et al. 2007). Unfortunately the genera are not as well defined: at least Ophiomyia, Phy- toliriomyza and Aulagromyza are paraphyletic in DNA sequence analyses (see Scheffer et al.

Flowering phenology and anthophilous insect communities on 64 plant species of 35 families were studied in the marsh in 1994-95. A total of 936 individuals of 215 species in eight orders of Insecta were collected on flowers from mid April to mid October, The anthophilous insect community was characterized by dominance of Diptera (58 9e of individuals) and relative paucity of Hymenoptera (26 9o), Hemiptera (6 9e), Lepidoptera (5 9e), and Coleoptera (5 9o), Syrphidae was the most abundant family and probably the most important pollination agents. Bee community was characterized by dominance of an aboveground nesting bee genus, Hylaeus (Colletidae), the most abundant species of which was a minute, rare little-recorded species. Cluster analysis on fiower-visiting insect spectra grouped 64 plant species into seven clusters, which were respectively characterized by dominance of small or large bees (18 spp.), syrphid fiies (13 spp.), Calyptrate and other flies (11 spp.), wasps and middle-sized bees (8 spp.), Lepidoptera (2 spp.), Coleoptera (1 sp.) and a mixture of these various insects (11 spp.).

  • 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.
