GÖLLNER-SCHEIDING Abstract: This paper provides locality records and host plant data for 85 species in 32 genera of Namib- ian Tingidae. Three new species are described: Ammianus ernsti nov.sp., Cysteochila bassoni nov.sp., and Cysteochila rusti nov.sp. Forty-three species are recorded for the first time from Namibia. A key to the genera found in Namibia is presented. Key words: Afrotropical Tingidae, distribution, key, Namibia.

Drake and Florence A. Ruhoff Introduction A treatise of the generic names of the family Tingidae from a global standpoint embodies problems similar to those frequently encountered in corresponding studies in other animal groups. The more im- portant criteria, including such basic desiderata as fixation of type species, synonyms, priority, and dates of technical publications implicate questions concomitant with recent trends toward the clarification and stabilization of zoological nomenclature. Zoogeography, predicated and authenticated on the generic level by the distribution of genera and species, is portrayed here by means of tables, charts, and maps of the tingifauna of the world. This visual pattern of distribution helps one to form a more vivid concept of the family and its hierarchic levels of subfamilies and genera. To a limited extent the data indicate distributional concentrations and probable centers of evolution and dispersal paths of genera. The phylogenetic relationship of genera is not discussed. The present treatise recognizes 216 genera (plus 79 synonyms, homonyms, and emendations) of the Tingidae of the world and gives 1 Research for this paper was supported In part by the National Science Foundation, grant No. 4095. 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 112 the figure of 1,767 as the approximate number of species now recog- nized.

Ten species of Tingidae in nine genera are recorded from Sarawak, East Malaysia, on the basis of the specimens in the collection of the Sarawak Forest Research Centre, Kuchin, Malaysia, and the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, Japan. Brief notes on their tax- onomy and biology are given, if necessary. Of these, six species, Cantacader quinquecostatus (Fieber, 1844), Pseudophatnoma denticollis (Péricart, 1986), Belenus dentatus (Fieber, 1844), Eritingis recentis (Drake and Poor, 1937), Physatocheila brailovskyi Péricart, 1992, and Trachype- plus borneensis Péricart, 1986, are new to Sarawak.

Österreich, Austria; download unter www.zobodat.at Acta ZooBot Austria 155, 2018, 251–256 Snapshot of the terrestrial true bug fauna of the Pocem floodplains (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) Wolfgang Rabitsch 61 terrestrial true bug (Heteroptera) species are reported from a short field trip in April 2017 along the river Vjosa in the Pocem floodplains, Albania. Five species are reported for the first time for Albania, indicating insufficient baseline information on the distribution of true bugs in the region. Future sampling designs should consider the interstitial habitats, river gravel and sand banks, and adjacent dry grassland areas. Certain difficulties aside, true bugs are a significant group of insect species with de- scriptive and indicative value. RABITSCH W., 2018: Momentaufnahme der terrestrischen Wanzenfauna im Pocem Überschwemmungsgebiet (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera). Während einer kurzen Exkursion im April 2017 entlang des Flusses Vjosa im Pocem Überschwemmungsgebiet, Albanien, wurden 61 terrestrische Wanzenarten (Heterop- tera) festgestellt. Fünf Arten werden der erste Mal für Albanien gemeldet, ein Hinweis auf die unzureichende Datenlage der Verbreitung von Wanzen im Gebiet. Zukünftige Erhebungen sollten insbesondere die interstitiellen Habitate am Flussufer, Sandbänke und die angrenzenden Trockenrasenstandorte untersuchen. Trotz gewisser Schwierig- keiten sind Wanzen als Deskriptoren und Indikatoren der Lebensräume eine aussage- kräftige Insektengruppe von hohem Wert. Keywords: Albania, floodplain, Heteroptera, new records, riparian, river. Introduction True bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) are well-known descriptors and indicators of terrestrial and aquatic habitats and their ecological quality (Duelli & Obrist 1998, Achtziger et al. 2007, Rabitsch 2008, Skern et al. 2010). Due to their diversity of feeding habits, life-histories, biology, and preferred habitats, true bugs are a meaningful addition to any Environmental Impact Assessment (e.g.

Plerochila australis (Distant, 1904) has been reported as the species responsible for damage to olive trees; however, the diversity of olive lace bug species in the region has lacked attention. Adult olive lace bugs were collected incidentally from wild and cultivated olive trees in the Western Cape Province, and identified as P. australis and Neoplerochila paliatseasi (Rodrigues, 1981).

  • Data to the Terrestrial Heteroptera Fauna of Moldova Abstract Introduction Materials and Methods
    Torma, A. Data to the terrestrial Heteroptera fauna of Moldova Attila Torma University of Szeged, Department of Ecology H–6725 Szeged, Közép fasor 52, Hungary, [email protected] Abstract Present paper contains Heteroptera faunistical data obtained by the joint expeditions of Babeş-Bolyai University, Sapienta University, University of Szeged and Hungarian Natural History Museum. Altogether, 99 true bug species of 12 families were collected. Key words: true bugs, faunistics, Moldova Introduction The first note on Heteroptera fauna of Moldova was given by Montandon (1885) in the end of the 19th century. In the 20th century Nemes and Lungoci (1979) carried out faunistical study in the region and Marcu (1982) pub- lished the Heteroptera collection of Natural Sciences Museum of Galaţi from South-East Moldova. Recently, Derzhansky (1997) published the Het- eroptera checklist of the Republic of Moldova which also provided insight to the species pool of the region. Materials and methods This paper presents data to the Heteroptera fauna of Moldova. The material was collected by a joint expedition of Babeş-Bolyai University, Sapientia University, University of Szeged and Hungarian Natural History Museum, between 6–10 June 2006. We used different collecting methods e.g. sweep-netting, direct sam- pling by hand (ground and plant search, turning rocks and sifting of leaf litter). All material was preserved in 70o ethylic alcohol. The adult true bug Biologia | Acta Scientiarum Transylvanica, 17/1, 2009. individuals were identified under stereoscopic microscope with the use of various keys (Benedek 1969, Kis 1984, 2001, Kis and Kondorosy 1999, Me- tocq 2004, Vásárhelyi 1978, Wagner 1952, 1967).

  • Biosystematics of Tingidae on the Basis of the Biology and Micro­ Morphology of Their Eggs*
    Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Anirn. Sci.), Vol. 96, No. 5, September 1987, pp. 587-611. (D Printed in India. Biosystematics of Tingidae on the basis of the biology and micro­ morphology of their eggs* DA YID LIYINGSTONE and MHSYACOOB Division of Entomology, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore 641 046, India Abstract. The biology and micromorphology of the eggs of 40 species belonging to 26 genera and two subfamilies of Tingidae from southern India have been studied and considered for an assessment of their biosystematics. The oviposition strategy is intimately correlated with the selection of oviposition site on the host plant, determined by the shape and size of the egg and accomplished by appropriately developed ovipositing mechanism involving the structural features of the first gonapophyses. The oviposition pattern is accordingly classified and the eggs are classified on the basis of the nature of development of the chorionic collar cum opercular apparatus. Characterization of the eggs and assessment of their systematic importance ha ve been linked with the origin and evolution of adaptive radiation of oviposition strategies of their egg parasitoids as well. Production of season oriented dimorphic eggs is common among species that oviposit their long operculate eggs vertically in clusters, either into stems or rachis or pistil. Lamina ovipositors preferentially oviposit into the mesophyll horizontally. without cluster formation, on the undersurface of the leaves and the significant reduction in the number of aeropyles of such oval, short operculate eggs could be correlated with thc abundance of oxygen supply of the ambient air. More elongate, long operculate eggs in Tingidae, characterized by their multiplicity of aeropyles and vertical oviposition in clusters into stems, rachis and pistil, signify primitiveness, as observed in Cantacaderinae and some large sized Tinginae, Micropyles are absent in tingid eggs, as fertilization occurs before chorion formation and a true spermatheca is wanting.

INTRODUCTION This paper is a continuation of the author's previous survey (LINNAVUORI 1960) on the Hemiptera of Israel, based partly on the collections made by the author between June 12 and August 7, 1958, partly on revision of material from the con- siderable. collection at the University of Helsinki and several Israeli collections. As in the first part of this paper, all the material found by myself is marked I and that revised by me (!) in the present list. In other respects the reader is referred to the first part of this survey. 2. TAXONOMY AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES TREATED Miridae (Continuation) Stenodema Lap.
