Copyright @ 1979, The Michigan Entomological Society THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST A REVISED LIST OF THE PENTATOMOIDEA OF ILLINOIS (HEMIPTERA) J. E. ~c~hersonl ABSTRACT A revision of Hart's 1919 list of the Pentatomoidea of Illinois is presented. C. A. Hart's excellent monograph on the Pentatomoidea of Illinois was published in 1919. However, since its publication, several North American pentatomoid groups have been revised, new taxa described, and names changed. Also, several Illinois state records have recently been published. Thus, Hart's list is out-of-date and, consequently, unreliable. Presented here is an updated list of Illinois Pentatomoidea. Included are the names of taxa as they were listed in Hart's monograph, the currently accepted names, additions to the list and references, presently known state distribution for each taxon (Table I), and a list of those Table 1.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the present study, a checklist of new records of the family Chalcididae of Egypt is presented based on a total of 180 specimens collected from 24 different Egyptian localities between June 2011 and October 2016, mostly by sweeping and Malaise traps. Nineteen species as well as the subfamily Epitraninae and the genera Bucekia Steffan, Epitranus Walker, Proconura Dodd, and Tanycoryphus Cameron, are newly recorded from Egypt. A single species previously placed in the genus Hockeria is transferred to Euchalcis Dufour as E. rufula (Nikol’skaya, 1960) comb. nov. Key words: Parasitic wasps, Chalcidinae, Dirhininae, Epitraninae, Haltichellinae, new records, new combination Introduction The Chalcididae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) is a medium-sized family represented by more than 1500 described species in 93 genera (Aguiar et al. 2013; Noyes 2017; Abul-Sood et al. 2018). A large number of described species are classified in the genus Brachymeria Westwood (about 21%), followed by Conura Spinola (20.3%) (Noyes 2017).

    Appendix S4. the Tentorium and Its External Landmarks in the Chalcididae

    Appendix S4 . The tentorium and its external landmarks in the Chalcididae This study is the first in the whole superfamily Chalcidoidea to investigate the tentorium as a phylogenetic character and to establish the connection between the inner skeleton of the cephalic capsule and its external landmarks on the back of the head. In this section, details are provided on the methodology used by GD to examine and code the different bridges. S4.1. Context Phylogenetic informativeness of the characters of the head capsule in Hymenoptera was recently highlighted (Vilhelmsen 2011; Burks & Heraty 2015; Zimmermann & Vilhelmsen 2016). However, interpretation is difficult and requires landmarks (Burks & Heraty, 2015). More precisely, the identity of the sclerotized structures between the occipital foramen and the oral fossa are still debated. Homology and nomenclature of these structures were established by Snodgrass (1928, 1942 and 1960) and reassessed by Vilhelmsen (1999) and Burks & Heraty (2015). These authors describe various types of ‘bridges’, such as postgenal, hypostomal and subforaminal bridges, according to the cephalic part – postgena or hypostoma – from which they putatively originate. In his phylogenetic analyses of the Chalcididae, Wijesekara (1997a & 1997b) used the back of the head – reduced to a single character – and distinguished an ‘hypostomal bridge’ and a ‘genal bridge’. The detailed examination of the back of the head in the Eurytomidae (Lotfalizadeh et al. 2007), probable sister group of the Chalcididae, provided useful characters for their phylogeny and prompted GD to also investigate these characters in the Chalcididae. Chalcididae exhibit variable and puzzling structures that may be phylogenetically informative but request a thorough identification of homologies among the subfamilies and more largely with other families of Chalcidoidea.

    CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)

    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.
