Jahrgang 1986 Heft 1 Heteropteren-Funde aus dem NSG „Venner Moor" (Kreis Coesfeld) Karl-Georg Bernhardt, Osnabrück Das Venner Mooer liegt ca. 12 km südlich der Stadt Münster. Zahlreiche bo- tanische Untersuchungen liegen für die 31,5 ha große Fläche vor (vgl. RUNGE 1958 u. 1978, WITTIG 1980, THOMAS 1983). Es handelt sich um ein entwäs- sertes und zum größten Teil abgetorftes Hochmoor. KROKER (1978) bezeich- net das Gebiet als zoologisch wertvoll, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Wasserin- sekten. Aufgrund des breiten Spektrums verschiedener Lebensformtypen ist die In- sektenordnung der Heteroptera von Bedeutung: In einem Hochmoor sind aquatische, amphibische und terrestische Formen vertreten. Die Untersuchung von MELBER u. HENSCHEL (1983) macht deutlich, daß die Erfassung der Heteropteren einen wichtigen Beitrag zur zooökologischen Charakterisierung der Moore darstellt. Methodische Hinweise Die aufgeführten Tiere wurden in den Jahren 1980-85 vom Autor mit dem Käscher gefangen. Weiterhin wurden von Herrn Dr. Kroker, Münster, in BAR- BER-Fallen gefangene Tiere (vgl. KROKER 1978) aus den Jahren 1976-1985 · aufgenommen; diese sind mit „K" gekennzeichnet. Ich mochte an dieser Stelle Herrn Dr. Kroker für die freundliche Bereitstellung seiner Heteropterenfänge danken. Die Bestimmung erfolgte mit Hilfe der Arbeit von STICHEL (1955-62).

Struve von.Borkum (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) Udo Bröring, Oldenburg Einleitung Zur Beurteilung von Veränderungen in den Artenzusammensetzungen ver­ schiedener Landschaftsräume sind die Ergebnisse Jahrzehnte zurückliegender Untersuchungen von großer Bedeutung. Im Hinblick auf das Besiedlungsge­ schehen auf Inseln lassen sich durch Vergleiche von älteren mit jüngeren Erfas­ sungen Aufschlüsse über Immigrations- und Extinktionsraten sowie über Anteil und Zusammensetzung fest etablierter Arten bestimmter Tiergruppen gewin­ nen. Derartige Vergleich werden i. d. R. durch umfangreiche systematische und taxonomische Veränderungen erschwert; von Zeit zu Zeit wird daher eine Überarbeitung älteren Sammlungsmaterials erforderlich. Im Hinblick auf Untersuchungen zur Besiedlung der Ostfriesischen Inseln durch Insekten ist das zwischen 1932 und 1946 auf Borkum zusammengetragene, um­ fangreiche Material von F. und R. Struve von besonderem Wert. Ein großer Teil der Ergebnisse wurde zwischen 1936 und 1940 veröffentlicht, Überprüfungen des Sammlungsmaterials wurden für aculeate Hymenopteren (HAESELER 1978), Symphyten (RITZAU 1988) sowie für die Hemiptera-Auchenorrhyncha (NIEDRINGHAUS 1989) durchgeführt.

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).

Diagonal 645, 08028 Barcelona, Spain – [email protected] Abstract: A checklist of 43 Heteropteran species collected in the area of influence of Can Coll School of Nature is given. By its rarity in the Catalan fauna, the mirid Deraeocoris (D.) schach (Fabricius, 1781) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (N.) maculatus Fieber, 1851 are interesting species. Plus being rare species, the mirid Macrotylus (A.) solitarius (Meyer-Dür, 1843) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (S.) umbrinus (Wolff, 1804) are new records for the Natural Park. The mirids Alloetomus germanicus Wagner, 1939 and Amblytylus brevicollis Fieber, 1858, and the pentatomid Eysarcoris aeneus (Scopoli, 1763) are new contributions for the Park checklist. The Heteropteran richness of Can Coll suggests them as study group for the environmental education goals of this School of Nature.

The fauna of characteristic types of natural and man-made biotopes (yellow dunes, grey dunes, grasslands, salt marshes, woods, ruderals) is described in view of presence as well as abundance within (dominance) and between (respresentance) special types of habitats. Faunistical homogeneities and similarities of the habitats are discussed. 1.

This genus is character- istic in having the large and thick body, the pointed head in front, the incrassate 1st and 2nd antenna1 segments, the tumid scutellum and the rather short legs. Eocalocoris belongs to the tribe Mirini of the subfamily Mirinae, and related to Calocoris Fieber and Parapantilius Reuter in general appearance. This paper reports a unique species of the Miridae from Japan, which represents a new genus and species. This mirid, which is one of the largest species of Japan, exhibits unusual features such as brownish body furnished with two types of hairs and the peculiar male genital structure. This species was once reported as Mirini sp. with Japanese name Futo-mekuragame by Tawara (1977). Before going further the authors wish to express their gratitude to the following entomologists for offering valuable specimens : Dr. T. Ishihara (Ehime Pref.), Dr. H. Hasegawa (Hoya City), Mr. M.

  • A Review of the Hemiptera of Great Britain: the Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Bugs
    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR188 A review of the Hemiptera of Great Britain: The Aquatic and Semi-aquatic Bugs Dipsocoromorpha, Gerromorpha, Leptopodomorpha & Nepomorpha Species Status No.24 First published 20 November 2015 www.gov.uk/natural -england Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background Making good decisions to conserve species should primarily be based upon an objective process of determining the degree of threat to the survival of a species. The recognised international approach to undertaking this is by assigning the species to one of the IUCN threat categories. This report was commissioned to update the national status of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs using IUCN methodology for assessing threat. It covers all species of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs (Heteroptera) in Great Britain, identifying those that are rare and/or under threat as well as non-threatened and non-native species. Reviews for other invertebrate groups will follow. Natural England Project Manager - Jon Webb, [email protected] Contractor - A.A.
