  • Insect Classification Standards 2020
    RECOMMENDED INSECT CLASSIFICATION FOR UGA ENTOMOLOGY CLASSES (2020) In an effort to standardize the hexapod classification systems being taught to our students by our faculty in multiple courses across three UGA campuses, I recommend that the Entomology Department adopts the basic system presented in the following textbook: Triplehorn, C.A. and N.F. Johnson. 2005. Borror and DeLong’s Introduction to the Study of Insects. 7th ed. Thomson Brooks/Cole, Belmont CA, 864 pp. This book was chosen for a variety of reasons. It is widely used in the U.S. as the textbook for Insect Taxonomy classes, including our class at UGA. It focuses on North American taxa. The authors were cautious, presenting changes only after they have been widely accepted by the taxonomic community. Below is an annotated summary of the T&J (2005) classification. Some of the more familiar taxa above the ordinal level are given in caps. Some of the more important and familiar suborders and families are indented and listed beneath each order. Note that this is neither an exhaustive nor representative list of suborders and families. It was provided simply to clarify which taxa are impacted by some of more important classification changes. Please consult T&J (2005) for information about taxa that are not listed below. Unfortunately, T&J (2005) is now badly outdated with respect to some significant classification changes. Therefore, in the classification standard provided below, some well corroborated and broadly accepted updates have been made to their classification scheme. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this classification.

  • The Stilt Bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) of Norway
    © Norwegian Journal of Entomology. 21 June 2011 The stilt bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) of Norway FRODE ØDEGAARD & ARNSTEIN STAVERLØKK Ødegaard, F. & Staverløkk, A. 2011. The stilt bugs (Heteroptera, Berytidae) of Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 58, 27–32. We here present confirmed records of the six species of stilt bugs (Berytidae) occurring in Norway. Berytinus clavipes (Fabricius, 1775) is reported for the first time from Norway. Several new county records for the other species of Berytidae are also presented. All species are illustrated with pictures of specimens from Norway. The reported records of Berytinus affinis in Warloe (1925) have for a long time led to confusion about which species of Berytinus Kirkaldy, 1900 being present in Norway. Here, we show that these specimens actually belong to the common B. minor (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835). We conclude that it is not likely that more than these six species of Berytidae are to be found in Norway in the future. Key words: Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Berytidae, Norway. Frode Ødegaard & Arnstein Staverløkk, Norsk institutt for naturforskning, NINA. P. O. Box 5685 Sluppen, NO-7485 Trondheim, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] Introduction of Berytidae, but most species seem to be phytophagous and tied to various plant families. The stilt bugs (Berytidae) represent a small family While Metatropis rufescens is found in broad leaved of true bugs with 155 species and 45 genera in the forests, all the other species seem to be restricted Palearctic region (Aukema & Rieger 2001) Only to xerophilic dry meadows. The Berytinus species eight of these species are present in Scandinavia are normally associated with Fabaceae.

Insects are the largest group of animals, they account for 70% of the diversity of the animal kingdom in the country. They play an important role in circulation of organic matter on the surface for all animal groups and in processing of energy stored in plants, therefore it is important to create a scientific basis for biodiversity conservation and research on their effective use. The results of studies conducted in 2017-2019 at territory of the State National Natural Parks "Altyn-Emel" and "Kolsai koldery" on Heteroptera true bugs show biodiversity of Kazakhstan, contribute to creation of a wildlife cadastre in the SNPP "Altyn-Emel" and "Kolsay koldery", which is one of the specially protected natural territories of South-East Kazakhstan. The data obtained as a result of study on species composition of Hemoptera performs the task of preserving the biodiversity and inventory of the animal world of Kazakhstan in accordance with the International Convention on the restoration and rational use of the animal world. Heteroptera insects are one of the largest orders of insects. Today, 40,000 species belonging to 50 families are known worldwide. True bugs insects live in different biotopes and play an important role in biological processes in biogeocenosis.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Family Groups in Pentatomoidea Based on Morphology and DNA Sequences (Insecta: Heteroptera)
    Cladistics Cladistics 24 (2008) 1–45 10.1111/j.1096-0031.2008.00224.x Phylogenetic relationships of family groups in Pentatomoidea based on morphology and DNA sequences (Insecta: Heteroptera) Jocelia Graziaa,*, Randall T. Schuhb and Ward C. Wheelerb aCNPq Researcher, Department of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; bDivision of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY 10024, USA Accepted 18 March 2008 Abstract Phylogenetic relationships within the Pentatomoidea are investigated through the coding and analysis of character data derived from morphology and DNA sequences. In total, 135 terminal taxa were investigated, representing most of the major family groups; 84 ingroup taxa are coded for 57 characters in a morphological matrix. As many as 3500 bp of DNA data are adduced for each of 52 terminal taxa, including 44 ingroup taxa, comprising the 18S rRNA, 16S rRNA, 28S rRNA, and COI gene regions. Character data are analysed separately and in the form of a total evidence analysis. Major conclusions of the phylogenetic analysis include: the concept of Urostylididae is restricted to that of earlier authors; the Saileriolinae is raised to family rank and treated as the sister group of all Pentatomoidea exclusive of Urostylididae sensu stricto; a broadly conceived Cydnidae, as recognized by Dolling, 1981, is not supported; the placement of Thaumastellidae within the Pentatomoidea is affirmed and the taxon is recognized at family rank rather than as a subfamily

  • Evolution of Delphacidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea): Combined-Evidence Phylogenetics Reveals Importance of Grass Host Shifts
    Systematic Entomology (2010), 35, 678–691 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-3113.2010.00539.x Evolution of Delphacidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea): combined-evidence phylogenetics reveals importance of grass host shifts JULIE M. URBAN1, CHARLES R. BARTLETT2 and J A S O N R . CRYAN1 1Research and Collections, Laboratory for Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics, New York State Museum, Albany, NY, U.S.A. and 2Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, U.S.A. Abstract. The planthopper family Delphacidae is a speciose lineage of phloem- feeding insects, with many species considered as pests of economic significance on essential world food commodities (including rice, maize, wheat, barley and sugar cane). Despite their economic importance, evolutionary relationships among delphacids, particularly those within the speciose tribe Delphacini, are largely unknown. Presented here are the results of a phylogenetic investigation of Delphacidae based on DNA nucleotide sequence data from four genetic loci (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, wingless and cytochrome oxidase I ) and 132 coded morphological characters. The resulting topologies are used to test the higher classification of Delphacidae and to examine evolutionary patterns in host–plant associations. Our results generally support the higher classifications of Delphacidae proposed by Asche, Emeljanov and Hamilton, and suggest that the rapid diversification of the Delphacini was associated with host shifts to, and within, Poaceae, and specifically from C3 to C4 grasses. Introduction infestations in 2009 reportedly occurring in Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam (Heong, 2009). The insect family Delphacidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea), Within Delphacidae, 85 species are recognized as economically including approximately 2100 described species, is the most significant pests, incurring damage to approximately 25 plant speciose and economically important of the ∼20 planthopper crops (Wilson & O’Brien, 1987; Wilson, 2005).

  • Read About the Euonymus Scale, an Introduced Pest in Spindle in Britain, 2013
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 26: 2013 211 EUONYMUS SCALE UNASPIS EUONYMI (HEMIPTERA: DIASPIDIDAE); AN INTRODUCED PEST OF SPINDLE (EUONYMUS) IN BRITAIN 1 2 1 A. SALISBURY ,C.MALUMPHY &A.J.HALSTEAD 1Entomology, Royal Horticultural Society’s Garden, Wisley, Nr Woking, Surrey, GU23 6QB Email: [email protected] 2The Food and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, York YO41 1LZ Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The euonymus scale Unaspis euonymi (Comstock) is a pest of spindle (Euonymus spp.) which can cause plant death. A native of South East Asia, it became established in Britain in the late 1950s but did not become widespread in England until the 1990s and 2000s. The distribution, identification, life cycle, natural enemies and host range of this pest are outlined, and its status and control in Britain discussed. INTRODUCTION The euonymus scale, Unaspis euonymi (Comstock) (Diaspididae) is native to temperate Eastern Asia (Pellizzari & Germain, 2010) and was first recorded in Britain in 1936 (Anon., 1939; Dennis, 1969). During the last two decades it has dramatically expanded its geographical range and become more abundant in Britain. It feeds by sucking the sap from the stems and foliage of its host plants, usually Euonymus spp., and is one of the most damaging scale insects found in Britain. The purpose of this communication is to highlight the increase in frequency and distribution of U. euonymi in Britain, and to review its biology and control. IDENTIFICATION Unaspis euonymi was originally described in the genus Chionaspis by Comstock (1881) from specimens collected from Norfolk, Virginia, USA, on Euonymus latifolia; it has been re-described and illustrated by Balachowsky (1954), Ferris (1937), Kosztarab & Koza´r (1988), and Miller & Davidson (2005).
