SAHLBERG, 1870, in diesen Merkmalen konstanter zu sein. ür T. paludum mediolineata F sind bisher nur die beiden Formen BÜTTNER, 1957: 11 und foersteri ür JORDAN, 1957: 180-181 bekanntgeworden. Der Katalog von SCHUH (1995: 1028) nennt f diese Art keine Formen. Beide, so die bisherige Annahme und Angabe bei KERZHNER & JOSIFOV ür beide werden die (1999: 198), wurden in der Arbeit von JORDAN (1957) beschrieben und f ührt. Typenstandorte im Palaearktis-Katalog als "not located" gef T. saundersi T. Von der dritten Art, DOUGLAS & SCOTT, 1869, sind zwei Subspezies ( saundersi saundersi . saundersi unicolor DOUGLAS & SCOTT, 1869 und T E. WAGNER, 1965) bekannt, von denen in Deutschland aber nur letztere vorkommt. Die Angabe "GE" bei KERZHNER & JOSIFOV (1999: 197) ist bei der Nominat-Subspezies zu streichen. Bemerkungen zu T. paludum f. mediolineata ÜTTNER B , 1957 ürde nur die Bemerkung: “(Nach Geht man nun von der Arbeit JORDAN (1957:180) aus, so w schriftlicher Mitteilung von K.

Die von ihm beschriebene f. mediolineata bei Zw im Erzgebirge ” und O.L. ÜTTNER Bei der Abfassung der (angenommen) Beschreibung durch B in JORDAN (1957: 180) erfolgt keine Nennung der Anzahl der Exemplare, die der Beschreibung zugrundelagen. äre die Festlegung eines Typus nicht vorgenommen worden, und alle Exemplare Demzufolge w ären als Syntypen aufzufassen, was den Zwang der Designierung von Lectotypus und w ürde.

So befindet ür Naturkunde der Humboldt ät zu Berlin sich die JORDANsche Sammlung im Museum f -Universit ür Tierkunde in Dresden. Theoretisch und die Sammlung von BÜTTNER im Staatlichen Museum f 1 Im 2. Absatz auf Seite 180 seiner Arbeit schreibt aber JORDAN : ”Neuerdings hat K. BÜTTNER die Art auch im Erzgebirge an drei Stellen nachweisen können (Briefl. Mitteilung), s.a. Mitt. D. Ent. Ges. Jhrg. 16, Nr. 1, 1957”. Er kannte also die Originalbeschreibung von T. paludum f.. mediolineata, geht aber (eigenartigerweise) nicht weiter darauf ein, und so kam es dann, zusammen mit den im obigen Text genannten weiteren Ausführungen, zu der bisherigen Fehlinterpretation des Standortes der Originalbeschreibung. Ebenso unklar ist die “Briefl. Mitteilung” der Funde “im Erzgebirge an drei Stellen”, denn

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

  • A Preliminary Survey of the Aquatic and Semiaquatic Hemiptera
    Polhemus and Polhemus: Aquatic Hemiptera of Desert Hot Springs 1 A preliminary survey of the aquatic and semiaquatic Hemiptera occurring in the springs of the Railroad Valley, White River, and Amargosa River drainage systems, Nevada and California, with special reference to thermal relicts Dan A. Polhemus Dept. of Entomology, Bishop Museum, P. 0. Box 19000-A, Honolulu, HI 96817 ard John T. Polhemus Univ. of Colorado Museum, 3115 S. York St., Englewood, CO 80110 INTRODUCTION One of the most remarkable concentrations of disjunct and endemic aquatic Hemiptera in North America is found in the thermal refugia of the Railroad Valley, White River, and Amargosa River drainages of Nevada and California. These drainages represent former tributaries to the Colorado system that were continuous systems in the Pliocene and Pleistocene, but have been subsequently dessicated and reduced to discontinous spring fed aquatic refugia. The thermal springs of these three systems contain a large number of endemic aquatic Hemiptera species, as well as many highly disjunct populations of other taxa. The current report details the distributions of these species, addresses certain taxonomic problems relating to them, and considers the biogeographic significance of this thermally relictual fauna. LOCALITIES SAMPLED The information upon which this report is based has been collected by the authors over a period of thirty years, and in many cases the passage of several decades has seen a serious degredation of the aquatic habita~s listed below. For this reason an attempt has been made in the last three years to revisit many of the most critical habitats and &scertain the status of their aquatic Hemiptera faunas.

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.

Some features of the biology and feeding relationships of small waterbugs (Notonectidae, Corixidae, Pleidae, Helotrephi­ dae, Aphelocheiridae) and ripicolous bugs (Gelastocoridae, Ochteridae) are reviewed. Individual families are discussed as predators or as prey of other animals. Special attention is given to characteristics and relationships that affect human beings directly or indi­ rectly. The most important relationships from the economic point of view are: bugs and blood-sucking Diptera, bugs and fish, bugs and some endangered or protected amphibians and water birds. Of less importance is the occasional use of some aquatic bugs as saprobity bioindicators. It seems that the economic importance of these bugs has been underestimated. INTRODUCTION The aim of this brief review is to show the role of small The most comprehensive recent information on the nepomorphan bugs* as animals with possible economic biology and ecology of water bugs, especially of importance, or as animals that deserve attention at least Corixidae and Notonectidae, is given by Jansson (1986), from the point of view of anthropic practice. Another goal Savage (1989), Williams & Feltmate (1992), and of this paper is to present a list of the main literature on Hutchinson (1993).
