México ABSTRACT The genus Amblyomia Stål is revised and two new species, A. foreroi and A. prome- ceops from Colombia, are described. New host plant and distributional records of A. bifasciata Stål are given; habitus illustrations and drawings of male and female gen- italia are included as well as a key to the known species. The group feeds on bromeli- ads. Key Words: Insecta, Heteroptera, Coreidae, Leptoscelini, Amblyomia, Bromeliaceae RESUMEN El género Amblyomia Stål es revisado y dos nuevas especies, A. foreroi y A. prome- ceops, recolectadas en Colombia, son descritas. Plantas hospederas y nuevas local- idades para A. bifasciata Stål son incluidas; se ofrece una clave para la separación de las especies conocidas, las cuales son ilustradas incluyendo los genitales de ambos sexos. Las preferencias tróficas del grupo están orientadas hacia bromelias. Palabras clave: Insecta, Heteroptera, Coreidae, Leptoscelini, Amblyomia, Bromeli- aceae The neotropical genus Amblyomia Stål was previously known from a single Mexi- can species, A. bifasciata Stål 1870. In the present paper the genus is redefined to in- clude two new species collected in Colombia. This genus apparently is restricted to feeding on members of the Bromeliaceae, and specimens were collected on the heart of Ananas comosus and Aechmea bracteata.

F. 04510. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract One new genus Branstettocoris and two new species Branstettocoris pinguis (Mexico) and Branstettocoris parvulus (Guatemala) are described, illustrated, and included in the tribe Antillocorini (Rhyparochromidae). A key to the known genera of Mexican and Guatemalan Antillocorini is presented. Key words: Rhyparochromidae. Antillocorini, leaf litter Introduction Until recently, Mexican and Guatemalan Antillocorini (Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Rhyparochromidae) have been largely neglected and their diversity in the region is poorly known. Slater (1964), Slater (1980), Slater and Brailovsky (1986, 1994, 2004), Slater and O’Donnell (1995), Brambila (2000), and Baranowski and Brambila (2001) list four genera and six species for that region: Acolhua barrerai Slater and Brailovsky (México), Acolhua championi Distant (Guatemala), Botocudo neomodesta Slater and Brailovsky (Mexico), Cligenes distinctus Distant (México), Cligenes grandis Brambila (México and Guatemala), and Paurocoris punctatus (Distant) (México). This paper describes one new genus and two new species along with a key to Mexican and Guatemalan genera of Antillocorini. The specimens belong to the project Leaf Litter of Mesoamerica and were collected by sifting leaf litter in oak cloud forests in México and Central America. Material and methods The following abbreviations are used for the institutions cited here: Leaf Litter Arthropods of Mesoamerica, The Evergreen State College, Washington, USA (LLAMA); Colección Entomológica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).

    Synopsis of the Heteroptera or True Bugs of the Galapagos Islands ' 4k. RICHARD C. JROESCHNE,RD SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 407 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

Analyses conducted using repetitive DNAs have contributed to better understanding the chromosome structure and evolution of several species of insects. There are few data on the organization, localization, and evolutionary behavior of repetitive DNA in the family Lygaeidae, especially in Brazilian species. To elucidate the physical mapping and evolutionary events that involve these sequences, we cytogenetically analyzed three species of Lygaeidae and found 2n (♂) = 18 (16 + XY) for Oncopeltus femoralis; 2n (♂) = 14 (12 + XY) for Ochrimnus sagax; and 2n (♂) = 12 (10 + XY) for Lygaeus peruvianus. Each species showed different quantities of heterochromatin, which also showed variation in their molecular composition by fluorochrome Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (1): 2186-2199 (2014) ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Physical mapping in Lygaeidae 2187 staining.

  • LYGAEOIDEA La Superfamila Lygaeoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha) Es Una De Las Mayores Y Más Diver- Sas, Con Más De 4000 Especies, De Heteroptera
    | 421 Resumen LYGAEOIDEA La superfamila Lygaeoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha) es una de las mayores y más diver- sas, con más de 4000 especies, de Heteroptera. Los hábitats de las especies del grupo son variados, hay grupos arbóreos, geófilos y laminófilos. La mayoría se alimentan de semillas maduras, aunque las Blissidae y algunas Lygaeidae son succionadoras de savia, los Geocoridae son principalmente depredadoras y las Cle- radini (Rhyparochromidae) se alimentan de sangre de vertebrados. Las ninfas viven en los mismos hábitats que los adultos y se alimentan generalmente de las mismas plantas. Actualmente en los Lygaeoidea se reconocen 15 familias, de las cuales 12 han sido registradas de la región Neotropical y 11 de la Argentina: Berytidae, Blissidae, Colobathristidae, Cymidae, Geocoridae, Lygaeidae, Ninidae, Oxycarenidae, Pachygronthidae, Piesmatidae y Rhyparochromidae. Se presenta una breve historia taxonómica, aspectos filogenéticos y de la clasificación actual de la superfamilia, bibliografía de referencia y una clave para la identificación de las familias de la Argentina. Para cada familia se presenta una diagnosis, principales trabajos, aspectos de la bio- logía y la diversidad a nivel mundial y en la Argentina, así como claves para la determinación de los géneros presentes en el pais. Además, se reseña la importancia agroeconómica del grupo. Se adjunta un listado de las 154 especies citadas de Argentina. Pablo Matías DELLAPÉ Abstract The superfamily Lygaeoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: División Entomología, Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Pentatomomorpha) is one of the most diverse within the Bosque, 1900 La Plata, Argentina. Heteroptera, with more than 4000 species described. [email protected] The Lygaeoid habitats are diverse; there are arboreal, geophile and laminophile species.

  • Hemiptera, Prosorrhyncha) with Special Reference to the Pregenital Abdominal Structure1
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Justification for the Aradimorpha as an infraorder of the suborder Heteroptera (Hemiptera, Prosorrhyncha) with Special Reference to the Pregenital Abdominal Structure1 M.H. SWEET Abstract: Aradomorpha SWEET 1996 is replaced with Aradimorpha because of homonymy with Arado- morpha CHAMPION 1899, a genus of Reduviidae. The Aradimorpha differ from the Pentatomomorpha s.s. and the Leptopodomorpha in having a plesiomorphic connexivum of dorsal epipleurites and ventral hy- popleurites rather than having the connexivum turned over so that the hypopleurites are dorsalized and the epipleurites folded into the abdomen. In most Aradimorpha, in both males and females, sterna 3 to 7 are free with intersegmental conjunctiva; terga 1-2 and 3 to 6 are united, but all epipleurites are free. In the Pentatomomorpha at least abdominal sterna 2 to 4 in females and sterna 2 to 5 in males are uni- ted or fused without conjunctiva. In some aradids the hypopleurites are united or fused with the sterna, but hypopleurite 2 is usually free. Sternum 2 is sometimes united to fused with sternum 1 and the meta- sternum. The abdominal spiracles in the Aradimorpha are ventral on the hypopleurites, although some- times very lateral in position on the hypopleurites, with the exception of the Chinamyersiini in which spiracles 4, 5 and 6 are dorsal on the epipleurites in Chinamyersia, and 5 and 6 dorsal in Gnostocoris, whi- le in the Tretocorini (Tretocoris and Kumaressa) spiracle 2 seems dorsal but is actually very lateral on the hypopleurite. In the Termitaphididae, epipleurites and hypopleurites are distinct, forming mobile lateral abdominal lobes.

Dedico esta tesis a mis padres Carlos Manuel De La Mora Zerpa y María de las Mercedes Estrada Gómez y a mis Hermanos Odín y Mercedes, por su cariño, apoyo incondicional, sus consejos e inspiración para lograr todo aquello que me propongo. Por enseñarme que no importa la forma en la que se viva, el éxito y la felicidad no se obtienen por los logros académicos, por el trabajo o por el reconocimiento de otros, estos se obtienen por decisiones que a lo largo de nuestra vida nos indican un camino individual, que finalmente nos incita a seguir y regresar al núcleo para sentirnos aliviados. A mi sobrina Morgana, por despertar en mí un sentimiento de ternura, inocencia, sorpresa, aprecio por las cosas sencillas y por todo lo que falta por aprender. A la memoria de mi abuela Mercedes, por inculcar en mí valores y educación únicos, por estar siempre presente en mis recuerdos. "Pero yo no quiero estar entre la gente loca", comentó Alice.
