NAT. NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM Soc. 51(2): 197-223 ，2003 REVIEW OF THE HYDROMETRIDAE (HETEROPTERA) OF THAILAND ，WITH DISTRIBUTION RECORDS Akekawat Vitheepradif ， Robert W. Sitei ， Herbert ZetteP ，and Yang Chang Man 3 ABSTRACT Waterme 鎚町巴rs of 白 egenus Hydrometra (In secta: Heteroptera) are common inhabitants of of lentic systems 釦 d pooled water of lotic systems in Th ailand. Extensive dis 甘ibutional data are are given the for 11 species previously recorded from Th ailand ， and for two additional species reported 合om Th ailand the for flfst time. Further ，由 e female of H. julieni Hungerford 組 d Evans Evans is described and ilI ustrated. Th is paper brings together taxonomic ，biological ，加 d ecological ecological information on the genus in 羽lailand from various sources. Key Key words: Hydrometridae ，Heteroptera ，Thailand ，dis 佐ibution ，aquatic ，Hydrometra 町 TRODUCTION 百le genus Hydrometra (In secta: Heteroptera: Hydrometridae) is cosmopolitan 組 d common throughout Southeast Asia ， and is the only genus in the family recorded 合om Thailand Thailand (CHEN & ZEπ 'E L， 1996). The fauna of In dochina and the westem M a1 ay Ar chipelago was revised by POLHEMUS & POL 田 MUS (1995) and comprises 19 species (SITES (SITES & POLHEMUS ， 2003). The distribution in the Ar chipelago is largely allopatric and POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS (1995) considered certain species of Hydrometra to be functional ecological ecological equivalents ，replacing or excluding each other in different p訂 ts of the area ，due to to restriction to particul 紅 habitats. In百 lailand ，ZE 甘'E L & CHEN (1996) apportioned the eight eight species known at the time into three offive Southeast Asian species groups. Recently ， another another species was reported from the Phetchabun Mountains in north-cen 汀a1 τ'h ailand (VITHEEPRADIT ，2000) 佃 d two new species were described 合om north-centr a1 Th ailand (SITES (SITES & POLHEMUS ， 2003). Given the topographic 組 d hydrologic diversity as well as the elongated elongated longitudin a1 geographic orientation of Th ailand ，it is very likely that more species of of Hydrometra exis t. Presented Presented herein are extensive distributional data on species known from τ'h ailand ， new records of two additional species ， and a description of the female of H. julieni Hungerford Hungerford and Evans.

    Rec. zool. Surv. India: 100 (Part 1-2) : 55-97, 2002 A CHECK LIST OF GERROMORPHA (HEMIPTERA) FROM INDIA G. THIRUMALAI Zoological Survey of India, Southern Regional Station, Chennai 600 028. INTRODUCflON The Infraorder Gerromorpha comprises of semi-aquatic bugs characterised by long conspicuous antennae, longer than head and inserted in front of eyes. They are distributed in all kinds of climatic zones, except the coldest and driest parts. This infraorder contains 8 families namely, Gerridae, Veliidae, Hydrometridae, Mesoveliidae, Hebridae, Macroveliidae, Paraphrynoveliidae and Hennatobatidae (Andersen, 1982a). Knowledge of Indian semi-aquatic Hemiptera is limited to the taxonomic preliminaries, recording species from different parts of the country.

    A Comparison of the External Morphology and Functions of Labial Tip Sensilla in Semiaquatic Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Gerromorpha)

Heteroptera, Gerromorpha, labial tip sensilla, pattern, morphology, function, apomorphic characters Abstract. The present study provides new data on the morphology and distribution of the labial tip sensilla of 41 species of 20 gerro- morphan (sub)families (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) obtained using a scanning electron microscope. There are eleven morphologically distinct types of sensilla on the tip of the labium: four types of basiconic uniporous sensilla, two types of plate sensilla, one type of peg uniporous sensilla, peg-in-pit sensilla, dome-shaped sensilla, placoid multiporous sensilla and elongated placoid multiporous sub- apical sensilla. Based on their external structure, it is likely that these sensilla are thermo-hygrosensitive, chemosensitive and mechano- chemosensitive. There are three different designs of sensilla in the Gerromorpha: the basic design occurs in Mesoveliidae and Hebridae; the intermediate one is typical of Hydrometridae and Hermatobatidae, and the most specialized design in Macroveliidae, Veliidae and Gerridae. No new synapomorphies for Gerromorpha were identified in terms of the labial tip sensilla, multi-peg structures and shape of the labial tip, but eleven new diagnostic characters are recorded for clades currently recognized in this infraorder.

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).

    Trade, Culture and Society in Thailand Before 1200 Ad

    TRADE, CULTURE AND SOCIETY IN THAILAND BEFORE 1200 AD Helen James Abstract This paper discusses the development of the vibrant socio- cultural complexes inhabiting the geographic area between the Mekong and the Salween river systems in pre- and proto-historic times up to 1200 AD. Our knowledge of these cultures has increased in recent decades thanks to the multidisciplinary research under- taken by Charles Higham, Dhida Saraya, Srisakra Vallibhotama, Bennet Bronson, Donn Bayard and others whose work has comple- mented that of the linguists, art historians and scientists to bring to life the sophisticated societies which evolved on the Khorat plateau in northeast Thailand, in the Chao Phraya valley, and on the penin- sula of southern Thailand long before the declaration of indepen- dence from the Khmer overlord at Sukhothai in the mid-thirteenth century. Far from being a vacuum with little social, cultural or political development, we now know that these socio-cultural complexes had extensive intra-regional, interregional, and interna- tional trading networks complementing their own indigenous developments, long before the appearance of the Greco-Roman trading ships in the harbours of the Coromandel and Malabar coasts of India in the first and second centuries AD. The pattern of indig- enous relationships gave rise to the early Bronze and Iron Age civilizations in this region and made these socio-cultural complexes a cornerstone in the reinterpretation of Thai history. Introduction The geographical area now delineated by the nation state, Thailand, had a sophisticated cultural history characterized by complex interregional, intraregional and international relationships long before the officially constructed Sukhothai- Ayutthaya-Bangkok march of modern history minimized the socio-cultural devel- opments of earlier times.

S.), Mesoveliidae (Hüftwasserläufer), Hebridae (Zwergwasserläufer), Veliidae (Bachläufer) und Hydrometridae (Teichläufer) mit „ungewöhnlichen“ Flügellängen. Aus letzterer Familie sind zwei Arten in Sachsen-Anhalt bekannt. Die durchschnitdich größere, schwarz gefärbte Hydrometra stagnorum (Linnaeus , 1758) ist weniger anspruchsvoll und tritt häufig auch an Fließgewässem sowie in fast vegetationsfreien gewässemahen Bereichen auf (vgl. Wachmann et al. 2006). Die kleinere und zierlichere, meist bräunlich gefärbte Hydrometra gracilenta Horvath , 1899 besiedelt ein deutlich geringeres Spektrum von Gewässertypen als die vorige Art (vgl. Wachmann et al. 2006) und wird in Sachsen-Anhalt in der Regel seltener gefunden. Beide Arten treten meist in der mikropteren (stummelflügeligen) Form auf. Nachweise makropterer (langflügeliger) bzw. submakropterer Exemplare vonH. stagnorum und H gracilenta erfolgen nur vereinzelt. Schon Jordan (1952) stellt fest, dass bei beiden Arten vollgeflügelte Formen sehr selten sind. Auch Savage (1989), R abitsch (2005) und Wachmann et al. (2006) bestätigen die Seltenheit makropterer Individuen. N ieser (1982) beschäftigt sich mit dieser Problematik etwas genauer, wobei er auf die genaue Flügellänge verweist. Danach sollen die Hemielytren bei makropterenH gracilenta die Mitte des 6.
