Type specimens from the collection of the polyneopteran insect orders (Dermaptera, Blattodea, Orthoptera, Phasmatodea) deposited in the Department of Entomology, National Museum, Prague are catalogued. We provide precise infor- mation about types of 100 taxa (5 species of Dermaptera, 3 species of Blattodea, 4 species of Phasmatodea, 55 species of Caelifera, and 33 species of Ensifera), including holotypes of 38 taxa. The year of publication of Calliptamus tenuicer- cis anatolicus MaĜan, 1952 and Calliptamus tenuicercis iracus MaĜan, 1952 are corrected. The authorship of the names traditionally ascribed to J. Obenberger is discussed in detail. Only the name Podisma alpinum carinthiacum Obenberger, 1926 is available since the publication by OBENBERGER (1926a). ‘Stenobothrus (Stauroderus) biguttulus ssp. bicolor Charp. 1825’ and ‘Stenobothrus (Stau- roderus) ssp. collinus Karny’ sensu OBENBERGER (1926a,b) refer to Gryllus bicolor Charpentier, 1825 and Stauroderus biguttulus var. collina Karny, 1907, respectively, which both have to be considered available already since their original descriptions by CHARPENTIER (1825) and KARNY (1907).

A total of 60 species of orthopteroid insects were identified, belonging to 58 genera from 17 families and 5 orders. Mantids are represented by 3 families, 6 genera and 6 species; cockroaches – by 2 families, 2 genera and 2 species; earwigs – by 3 families, 3 genera and 3 species; sticks insects – by 1 family, 1 genus and 1 species. Orthopterans are most numerous (8 families, 46 genera and 48 species). Of these, three species, Bolivaria brachyptera, Hierodula tenuidentata and Ceraeocercus fuscipennis, are listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Celes variabilis and Chrysochraon dispar indicated for the first time for a given location. The fauna of orthopteroid insects in the studied areas of Kyzylorda is compared with other regions of Kazakhstan. -

Evaluating the Spatial Distribution of Dociostaurus Maroccanus Egg Pods Using Different Sampling Designs
Bulletin of Insectology 65 (2): 223-231, 2012 ISSN 1721-8861 Evaluating the spatial distribution of Dociostaurus maroccanus egg pods using different sampling designs 1 2 3 Ferdinando BALDACCHINO , Andrea SCIARRETTA , Rocco ADDANTE 1Department UTTRI-BIOTEC – ENEA C.R. Trisaia, Rotondella, Italy 2Department of Animal, Vegetal and Environmental Science - University of Molise, Campobasso, Italy 3Department of Agricultural and Environmental Biology and Chemistry - University of Bari, Italy Abstract In its gregarious phase the locust Dociostaurus maroccanus (Thunberg) (Orthoptera Acrididae) has periodically caused significant yield losses in many Mediterranean and Asian countries, and alarm in the general public. Population outbreaks in recent years have frequently required the application of control measures, based on those that have low environmental impact, which are only possible with a sound knowledge of locust bio-ethology and ecology. Our research was aimed at studying the spatial distribution of D. maroccanus egg pods in two Apulian egg bed areas in southern Italy, thus contributing to the rationalization of control methods. The distribution of D. maroccanus egg pods was investigated using a geostatistical approach. Three sampling designs (called A, B and C), characterized by different mesh and clod sizes, were compared to evaluate their effectiveness and afforda- bility. In both egg bed areas, the variogram models were asymptotic with a small nugget effect, and indicated an aggregated dis- tribution of egg pods. Contour maps showed that design A, based on a larger mesh and clod size, was characterized by few hot spots and an extended zone of “low density” egg pods, while design B, involving a smaller mesh and clod size, showed a more structured distribution, with various hot spots alternating with zero level zones. -

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.

Frente a Odontura Spinulicauda Rambur, 1838 (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae)
Eos, t. LXII, págs. 209-214 (1986). Rehabilitación de Odontura glabricauda (CHARPENTIER, 1825) frente a Odontura spinulicauda RAmBuR, 1838 (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) POR M.a CONCEPCIÓN PINEDO. Existe una notable confusión nomenclatorial acerca de la especie Odontura gla- bricauda CHARP., debido a que la descripción original es breve y los ejemplares que sirvieron para realizarla se reducen en la actualidad a un solo macho, que ha per- dido el abdomen, junto con (los hembras en estado de ninfa ; por ello, algunos autores consideran esta especie nominal no válida (nomen dubium) y prescinden de ella, mientras que otros lo admiten como nombre utilizable pero no válido, como sinónimo anterior de Odontura spinulicauda RAMBUR, no faltando quienes la admi- ten siguiendo la ley de prioridad y otros la consideran sinónimo con duda. Pero, como luego veremos, el nombre admitido por la mayoría de los autores actuales es el de O. spinulicauda. Creo que es interesante adoptar un criterio único y además seguir en lo posible lo dispuesto en el Código Internacional de Nomenclatura Zoológica, por lo que en este artículo me propongo exponer un detenido estudio de este problema taxonó- mico en el que creo evidente debe ser utilizado y, en consecuencia, rehabilitado el nombre de Odontura glabricauda CHARP. La relación cronológica de las diversas interpretaciones de los autores es COMO sigue : CHARpENTIER (1825: 101) describió con el nombre de Barbitistes glabricauda una especie basada en un número indeterminado de machos y hembras ; no men- cionó las dimensiones de los ejemplares ni dijo si eran adultos o ninfas ; tampoco publicó dibujos. En esta descripción, CHARPENTIER indica como localidad típica : "Lusitania".
