This work is the first attempt to integrate into one list and quantify all the known species of Guade- loupean insects. It includes all the species known to us to be reported for the island of Guadeloupe until the 31st of December 2019. A total of 3097 valid species are listed, of which the largest component is the beetles (1447 species). Preliminarily, 632 species (20%) are considered to be strictly endemic to Guadeloupe, and 250 species are recognized as adventive or introduced. The bibliography complements the taxonomic information and includes over 350 titles. Brief annotations are also given on the history of entomology in Guadeloupe. This list includes four new island records for Guadeloupe: Azeta rhodogaster Guenée, 1852 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Eudocima apta (Walker, 1857) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Urania leilus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae) and Micronotus quadriundulatus (Redtenbacher, 1892) (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae), all recently collected in Guadeloupe.

Ce travail constitue une première tentative d’intégrer dans une même liste et de quantifier l’ensemble des espèces d’insectes actuellement connues en Guadeloupe. Il inclut l’ensemble des espèces répertoriées en Gua- deloupe jusqu’au 31 Décembre 2019. Une liste de 3097 espèces valides est donnée, dont la plus grande composante sont les Coléoptères (1447 espèces). Les espèces endémiques strictes de Guadeloupe, en l’état actuel de nos con- naissances, sont au nombre de 632 (20%) et 250 espèces sont reconnues comme introduites. Une bibliographie complète de plus de 350 entrées est également donnée, ainsi que de brèves informations sur le statut actuel des connaissances. La liste présentée comprend quatre nouvelles mentions pour la Guadeloupe; Azeta rhodogas- ter Guenée, 1852 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), Eudocima apta (Walker, 1857) (Lepidoptera, Erebidae), Urania leilus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Uraniidae) et Micronotus quadriundulatus (Redtenbacher, 1892) (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae), récemment capturés en Guadeloupe. Mots-clés. Insectes, base de données, nouvelles mentions. Introduction This work addresses the questions of “What and how much do we know about the diversity of insects in Guadeloupe?” Until now the answers to these questions were out of our reach, as the data on Guade- loupean species are mostly dispersed across hundreds of zoological publications. To our knowledge, the only previous publication dealing with the quantification of the known arthropod fauna of Guadeloupe was a short popular summary commenting on such efforts (Redaud 1996). In spite of being one of the larger faunas in the Lesser Antilles, Guadeloupean insects have only recently received significant attention from taxonomists. This checklist integrates, for the first time, updated knowledge on the insect fauna of this island. The publication of several earlier checklists provided an important starting point to attempt the compilation of a comprehensive list of the known Guadeloupean insects. 2 • INSECTA MUNDI 0786, August 2020 MEURGEY AND RAMAGE The various groups treated were the Coleoptera (Chalumeau 1983; Chalumeau and Touroult 2005; Peck et al. 2014), Ephemeroptera (Hofmann et al. 1999), Odonata (Meurgey and Picard 2011), Orthoptera (Perez-Gelabert 2001), Phasmatodea (Lelong and Langlois 2001), Thysanoptera, and Diptera (Etienne 2005; Etienne et al. 2003, 2015).

  • Insecta: Dermaptera) with a Check·List of Genera and Species
    Rec. zool. Surv. India: 97 (Part-I) : 73-100, 1999 ON THE HIGHER CLASSIFICATION OF ANISOLABIDIDAE (INSECTA: DERMAPTERA) WITH A CHECK·LIST OF GENERA AND SPECIES G. K. SRIVASTAVA* Eastern Regional Station, Zoological Survey of Illdia, ShilJollg INTRODUCTION ~akai (1982) pointed out that family name Anisolabi( di)dae Verhoeff, 1902 has priority 6Verl~arcinophoridae Popham, 1965. Similarly the sub family Anisohibi(di)nae Zacher, 1911 baspriority overCarcinophorinae Hincks, 1954. Accordingly the former are used in the present work. A key for the discrimination of various subfamilies is given. The distinctive characters are based on various morphological character, mainly, on the body shape, shape of thoracic tergites, sternites and the male genitalia. It is proposed to erect a new subfamily Placolabidinae for the reception of Plac.:olabis Bey­ Bienko, 1959 as its type genus. This genus is very distinct from all t.he known genera of Anisolabidinae in having the median posterior prolongation of 8th sternite in males. Is·olaboidinae has been placed under this family by Srivastava (1996) which was transferred under Spongiphoridae (=Labidae) by Steinmann (1990). An attempt is made here to streamline the taxonomic status of various g~nera of AnisQlabidinae by providing akeyfortheirseparation. The main criteria fortheirdiscrilninatioll is based on the relative length of parameres besides its overall shape. The definition of various genera hOas been enlarged. The genera based on the shape of distal iobes and its associated stnlctures such as chiti nons accessory plates, shape and size of virga and the arrangement of teeth on chitinous pad may not prove t~ be stable characters since these vary intraspecifically.

  • Taxonomy of Iberian Anisolabididae (Dermaptera)
    Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 63(1), pp. 29–43, 2017 DOI: 10.17109/AZH.63.1.29.2017 TAXONOMY OF IBERIAN ANISOLABIDIDAE (DERMAPTERA) Mario García-París Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, MNCN-CSIC c/José Gutiérrez Abascal, 2, 28006, Madrid. Spain. E-mail: [email protected] An update on the taxonomy and geographic distribution of Iberian Anisolabididae (Der- maptera) is provided. Former catalogues reported in the Iberian Peninsula three genera of Anisolabididae: Aborolabis, Anisolabis, and Euborellia. A revision of 487 specimens of Iberian and North African Anisolabidoidea permit to exclude the genus Aborolabis from the Iberian fauna, the re-assignation of inland Euborellia annulipes Iberian records to Euborellia moesta, and the exclusion of Aborolabis angulifera from Northwestern Africa. Examination of type materials of Aborolabis mordax and Aborolabis cerrobarjai allows to propose the treatment of A. cerrobarjai as a junior synonym of A. mordax. The diagnostic characters of Euborellia his- panica are included within the local variability found in E. moesta. I propose that E. hispanica should be treated as a junior synonym of E. moesta. Key words: earwigs, systematics, Mediterranean region, Spain, Morocco, NW Africa. INTRODUCTION The Iberian fauna of Dermaptera, including Anisolabididae Verhoeff, 1902, has been the subject of diverse revisionary (Bolívar 1876, 1897, Lapeira & Pascual 1980, Herrera Mesa 1980, Bivar de Sousa 1997) and compilatory works (Herrera Mesa 1999). These revisions together with the monograph of the Fauna of France (Albouy & Caussanel 1990) and the on-line information included in Fauna Europaea (Haas 2010), rendered the image of Dermaptera as a well known group in continental western Europe.

  • ABSTRACT Gregarine Parasitism in Dragonfly Populations of Central
    ABSTRACT Gregarine Parasitism in Dragonfly Populations of Central Texas with an Assessment of Fitness Costs in Erythemis simplicicollis Jason L. Locklin, Ph.D. Mentor: Darrell S. Vodopich, Ph.D. Dragonfly parasites are widespread and frequently include gregarines (Phylum Apicomplexa) in the gut of the host. Gregarines are ubiquitous protozoan parasites that infect arthropods worldwide. More than 1,600 gregarine species have been described, but only a small percentage of invertebrates have been surveyed for these apicomplexan parasites. Some consider gregarines rather harmless, but recent studies suggest otherwise. Odonate-gregarine studies have more commonly involved damselflies, and some have considered gregarines to rarely infect dragonflies. In this study, dragonfly populations were surveyed for gregarines and an assessment of fitness costs was made in a common and widespread host species, Erythemis simplicicollis. Adult dragonfly populations were surveyed weekly at two reservoirs in close proximity to one another and at a flow-through wetland system. Gregarine prevalences and intensities were compared within host populations between genders, among locations, among wing loads, and through time. Host fitness parameters measured included wing load, egg size, clutch size, and total egg count. Of the 37 dragonfly species surveyed, 14 species (38%) hosted gregarines. Thirteen of those species were previously unreported as hosts. Gregarine prevalences ranged from 2% – 52%. Intensities ranged from 1 – 201. Parasites were aggregated among their hosts. Gregarines were found only in individuals exceeding a minimum wing load, indicating that gregarines are likely not transferred from the naiad to adult during emergence. Prevalence and intensity exhibited strong seasonality during both years at one of the reservoirs, but no seasonal trend was detected at the wetland.

New characters of the thorax, the female gen­ italia, and the egg chorion are used. The Siphlonuroidea consist of a Northern Hemisphere group of families (Siphlonuridae s. str., Dipteromimidae, Ameletidae, Metretopodidae, Acanthametropodidae and Ametropodidae) and a Southern Hemisphere group of families (Oniscigastridae, Nesameletidae, Rallidentidae, and Ameletopsidae). The family Dipteromimidae and the subfamily Parameletinae are established. The synonymy of lsonychia polita and Acanthametropus nikolskyi is documented.

These dif­ ferences are based on (1) the importance attached to adult versus larval characters, (2) the interpretation of characters as being synapomorphic or symplesiomorphic, (3) the paraphyletic nature of the group, and ( 4) inadequate diagnoses of many tax a.

    International Journal of Odonatology 1 (2): 137-153, 1998. © 1998 Backhuys Publishers. 137 MACROTHEMIS FALLAX, ANEW SPECIES OF DRAGONFLY FROM CENTRAL AMERICA (ANISOPTERA: LIBELLULIDAE), WITH A KEY TO MALE MACROTHEMIS Michael L. May Department of Entomology, New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, Cook College, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8524, U.S. A Received 24 February 1998; revised 8 July 1998; accepted 10 July 1998 Key words: Odonata, Abstract Macrothemis fa/lax spec. nov is described and figured from males collected in Belize and central Panama. It is apparently closely related to the widespread species, M. pseudimitans Calvert, 1898, with which it has hitherto been confused. These two species differ in shape of the cerci and epiproct, metafemoral armature, and thoracic and tibial coloration. A key to males of the genus, based largely on literature sources, is also provided. Introduction The genus Macrothemis is almost exclusively Neotropical, although a few species range northward into northern Mexico and the southwestern United States (Needham & Westfall, 1955). It comprises 39 or 40 species (Bridges, 1994, following Garrison, 1991, placed M. valida Navas, 1916, in Brechmorhoga, a plausible but so far unsubstantiated transfer), including the one described here. The latter is typical of the genus in that the inferior tooth of each tarsal claw is enlarged and its tip extends beyond that of the superior tooth. Thus the placement in Macrothemis rather than Brechmorhoga is clearly warranted, although the trigonal interspace of one forewing of the holotype is widened distally more than is usual in Macrothemis (Donnelly, 1984). The last comprehensive treatment of the genus was that of Ris (1913); although still very useful, this work is seriously outdated owing to the subsequent description of 15 species (Belle, 1983, 1987; Costa 1990, 1991; Donnelly, 1984; Gonzalez, 1992; Navas, 1916, 1918; Racenis, 1957; Ris, 1919; Santos, 1967).
