THE MAYFLY NEWSLETTER Vol. 15 No. 1 Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Weatherford, Oklahoma 73096-3098 USA February 2007 Letter from the Chairman Dear Colleagues, I take the opportunity of this Newsletter to give you some information about the Permanent Committee of the International Conferences on Ephemeroptera. Since the last conference in Montana in 2004, a couple of changes happened in the Committee’s composition. John Flannagan expressed the desire to resign from his position of treasurer, a charge he occupied since the beginning of our group. To replace him, we were lucky enough that Donna Giberspn accepted the position. To John, our sincere thanks for the whole work he has done during more than 30 years and to Donna our appreciation for keeping the business under the Canadian rules and authority. Secondly, a new member has joined the committee, namely Michael Hubbard all of you know, I am sure! Mike is in charge of the website Ephemeroptera Galactica [http://www.famu.org/mayfly/index.asp] and he will devote time and space to.bring up-to-date information concerning the Committee and next conferences. In that sense, it will be an ideal complementary information source to the Mayfly Newsletter Pete Grant rules so perfectly. Finally, I replaced Tomas Soldan as chairman of the committee. An up-to-date list of the Committee with contact information is available on page 4 of this Newsletter. All of you know that the next conference will be held in Stuttgart (Germany) from June 8 to 14, 2008. The convenor is our friend Arnold Staniczek and he already has a web site where important information, call for papers, registration, accommodation etc. will be posted. The address is http://www.jointmeeting08.naturkundemuseum-bw.de/. [See announcement on p. 2.] Do not forget to check regularly and above all, do not miss the chance to attend this meeting. This ,th Conference on Ephemeroptera will be held jointly with the 16th Symposium on Plecoptera. One of the tasks of our Committee is also to plan the next Conferences. We invite all of you to make their proposals for the 13th Conference that should be held normally in 2011. Looking back to the previous ones, two continents have not hosted our meetings: Africa and Asia and it would be wonderful to have some applications from there. Do not forget that your proposal must reach the Committee well before the next meeting in 2008 in order to be discussed and approved by the whole assembly in Stuttgart. [Read guidelines for proposals on p. 3.] Now, the Committee needs your help! We were looking for some kind of common action we could undertake before the Stuttgart meeting. We propose to create a database on mayfly workers, a who’s who in mayfly research. For that purpose, we need your contribution about your colleagues, recent or passed. Your input (text and pictures) can be sent to Mike Hubbard who will configure it and then post it on an Ephemeroptera Galactica website special page. The objective is to get as many contributions as possible before the next meeting. If we succeed to bring together a significant proportion of mayfly workers, we can even investigate the opportunity to make a printed version. Check soon for Ephemeroptera Galactica since the first contributions will be posted early this year. If you have any query, do not hesitate to contact Mike Hubbard or myself. I wish to all of you a happy, healthful and fruitful New Year!

  • Phylogeny of the Mayfly Family Leptohyphidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) in South America
    Systematic Entomology (2006), 31, 711–728 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-3113.2006.00357.x Phylogeny of the mayfly family Leptohyphidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) in South America CARLOS MOLINERI INSUE-CONICET, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales e IML, M. Lillo 205, San Miguel de Tucuma´n, 4000 Tucuma´n, Argentina Abstract. A cladistic analysis of the South American members of the Ephemer- opteran family Leptohyphidae is presented. A matrix of 73 taxa and 124 morphological characters was analysed under two distinct weighting criteria (implied weighting, which weights characters as a whole, and self-weighted optimization, which differentially weights character state transformations). To assess the monophyly of the Leptohyphidae, representatives of Ephemerellidae, Ephemerythidae, Machadorythidae, Teloganodidae, Tricorythidae, Coryphoridae and Melanemerellidae were also included. Trees were rooted in Ephemerellidae. Conspicuous differences in consensus topology occur when transformation costs among character states are weighted (including asymmetries). The differences in the assessments of character reliability in the two weighting criteria used are discussed. In many cases, self-weighting, in allowing for asymmetries in trans- formation costs, considered many of the character state transformations as more reliable (¼ informative) than implied weights (which needlessly down-weighted the whole character). The results confirm the monophyly of Leptohyphidae and support its sister-group relationship with Coryphoridae. The shortest trees do not support the recently proposed division of Leptohyphidae into two subfamilies. Ephemerelloidea higher classification is discussed briefly. Introduction 12 genera: Allenhyphes Hofmann and Sartori, Amanahyphes Salles & Molineri, Haplohyphes Allen, Leptohyphes Eaton, Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are considered one of the oldest Leptohyphodes Ulmer, Lumahyphes Molineri, Macunahy- insect orders, with the earliest fossils coming from the Upper phes Dias, Salles & Molineri, Traverhyphes Molineri, Tricor- Carboniferous (Hubbard, 1990).

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1).

Abstract: The distribution of aquatic insects has been poorly explored in quantitative analyses aiming at the historical reconstruction of area relationships in the Neotropics. Ephemeroptera is an ancient group, characterized by its low vagility, and of high richness and endemicity in this region. Systematic knowledge of the group has enormously increased in the last decades, achieving a sufficient background to explore biogeographical historical patterns. Our aim is to reconstruct area history in the Neotropics using the rationale of Barrier biogeography (Hovenkamp protocol). We present eleven mayfly phylogenies, representing groups that evolved independently at least from the Jurassic (i.e., not a one-taxon history). With these groups, we conducted independent biogeographical analyses (using Vicariance Inference Program), and extracted the events that repeated in two or more clades. We found fifty-eight TVEs (Traceable Vicariant Events), from which four were found at least twice, thus constituting SVEs (Supported Vicariant Events).

    Available online at www.science.canterbury.ac.nz/nzns An annotated checklist of New Zealand mayflies (Ephemeroptera), 2018 Stephen R. Pohe1, 2* 1 Pohe Environmental, Whangarei, New Zealand 2 School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand * Corresponding author: [email protected] (Received May 2018, revised and accepted July 2018) Abstract The New Zealand mayfly (Ephemeroptera) fauna currently comprises 55 described species belonging to 20 genera in eight families. All species and genera are endemic to New Zealand, as are three families. The purpose of this paper is to draw together the fragmented information of published literature in the form of a checklist of New Zealand Ephemeroptera. The checklist is annotated with species authority and publication details, type specimen information (sex, life stage, type locality, collector, specimen repository), distribution and conservation status data, and previously recognised names, including synonyms. References to all valid species descriptions and previously recognised names are included in the bibliography. Keywords: New Zealand, mayflies, Ephemeroptera, type localities, type speci- mens, species distributions, conservation status Introduction Globally, about 3,600 mayfly species have been described (Barber-James et al. 2013; The mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are an M.

Pictet deposited in the Natural History Museum of Geneva (MHNG) and voucher specimens housed in the Natural History Museum of Vienna (NMW). Due to several unforeseen turns of events, the MHNG collection was already in bad condition at the end of the 19th century. However, the specimens sent by V. Kollar to F.-J. Pictet, and used by the latter for his monograph (1843-1845), have been well curated after their return to the NMW and allow an important nomenclatural change. The species Baetis forcipula F.-J. Pictet, 1843 is now considered a junior subjective synonym of Ephemera venosa Fabricius, 1775, currently Ecdyonurus (Ecdyonurus) venosus (Fabricius, 1775). The specimens described by Thomas in 1968b from southwestern France under the name Ecdyonurus forcipula (F.-J.
