GALERUCINAE* S HINSAKU K IMOTO Biological Laboratory, Department of General Education, School of Medicine, Kurume University, Kurume 830, Japan Abstract This fourth paper of a series treats the subfamily Galerucinae covering 382 species in 97 genera. Keys are presented to genera and species. Relevant synonymies are presented for genera and species as well as general and local distribution of species. Six genera and 103 species are described as new and a number of species are newly recorded from the area or from individual countries. This paper is the fourth in series attempting to cover the chrysomelid beetles from the Thai-Indo- China area. This series represents a sequel to “Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) of China and Korea” (Gressitt & Kimoto, 1961 & 1963), and should be used in conjunction with that monograph. This installment treats the subfamily Galerucinae covering 97 genera and 382 species, including 6 new genera and 103 new species, and there are many new synonymies and new combinations. Keys are presented to genera and species, including a few occurring just outside the area of treatment. Pertinent synonymies are presented, and that references under genera included in Gressitt & Kimoto (1963) are not repeated other than original references and some monographs covering the area and its nearby areas. All known geographical records within the area, as well as general distribution for all the species treated, are also presented. A number of species are newly recorded from this general region, as well as a number of new records to individual countries. The sources of material are essentially the same as for the preceding installment. The main sources are Bishop Museum collection including the large J. A. Rondon collection from Laos (Gressitt et al., 1970) ; collections from various Japan-United States scientific cooperation projects funded by the U. S. National Science Foundation, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences, and the Ministry of Education of Japan ; results of the rice stem borer studies under the direction of the late Prof. K.

  • Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015)
    Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015) By Richard Henderson Research Ecologist, WI DNR Bureau of Science Services Summary This is a preliminary list of insects that are either well known, or likely, to be closely associated with Wisconsin’s original native prairie. These species are mostly dependent upon remnants of original prairie, or plantings/restorations of prairie where their hosts have been re-established (see discussion below), and thus are rarely found outside of these settings. The list also includes some species tied to native ecosystems that grade into prairie, such as savannas, sand barrens, fens, sedge meadow, and shallow marsh. The list is annotated with known host(s) of each insect, and the likelihood of its presence in the state (see key at end of list for specifics). This working list is a byproduct of a prairie invertebrate study I coordinated from1995-2005 that covered 6 Midwestern states and included 14 cooperators. The project surveyed insects on prairie remnants and investigated the effects of fire on those insects. It was funded in part by a series of grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. So far, the list has 475 species. However, this is a partial list at best, representing approximately only ¼ of the prairie-specialist insects likely present in the region (see discussion below). Significant input to this list is needed, as there are major taxa groups missing or greatly under represented. Such absence is not necessarily due to few or no prairie-specialists in those groups, but due more to lack of knowledge about life histories (at least published knowledge), unsettled taxonomy, and lack of taxonomic specialists currently working in those groups.

The internal sac of P. maculicollis bears hand saw-like spines, which are arranged in a row. Healing wounds were found on the vagina of this species, whose females were collected in the field during a repro- ductive season. However, the number of the wounds is low in comparison to the number of the spines.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Increasing forest management resulting from bark beetle attack in British Columbia's forests has created a need to assess the impact of single species management on local insect biodiversity. In the Fort St James Forest District, in central British Columbia, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Franco) (Fd) grows at the northern limit of its North American range. At the district level the species is rare (representing 1% of timber stands), and in the early 1990's growing populations of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsuage Hopkins) threatened the loss of all mature Douglas-fir habitat in the district.

In the present study describing spermatozoa morphology of an Aulacophora species was observed. Aulacophora foveicollis spermatozoa overall length measured 636±30.1µm and head length was 30.8±2.3µm. The ratio of the head length and tail length ~ 32.1.Spermatozoa head portion of the nucleus appears star like structure exposed by DAPI. In Aulacophora nigripennis spermatozoa overall length measured 355±21µm and the head length of the single sperm measured 11.3±1.1µm. The ratio of the head length and tail length was ~ 25.1. Spermatozoa nucleus appears kite like structure exposed by DAPI. Flagellar length of A.foveicollis spermatozoa was long and strongly attached in sperm head. In A.nigripennis appeared short and weakly breakup from the sperm head. The length of sperm heads was not always proportional to the total lengths of the sperm. The similarity of the A.foveicollis and A.nigripennis sperms appear rope like structure and the characters with those of Coleopteran indicates a clear phylogenetic relationship of Chrysomeloidea.

  • Coleoptera: Insecta) of Saskatchewan
    1 CHECKLIST OF BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: INSECTA) OF SASKATCHEWAN R. R. Hooper1 and D. J. Larson2 1 – Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Regina, SK. Deceased. 2 – Box 56, Maple Creek, SK. S0N 1N0 Introduction A checklist of the beetles of Canada (Bousquet 1991) was published 20 years ago in order to provide a list of the species known from Canada and Alaska along with their correct names and a indication of their distribution by major political units (provinces, territories and state). A total of 7447 species and subspecies were recognized in this work. British Columbia and Ontario had the most diverse faunas, 3628 and 3843 taxa respectively, whereas Saskatchewan had a relatively poor fauna (1673 taxa) which was about two thirds that its neighbouring provinces (Alberta – 2464; Manitoba – 2351). This raises the question of whether the Canadian beetle fauna is distributed like a doughnut with a hole in the middle, or is there some other explanation. After assembling available literature records as well as the collection records available to us, we present a list of 2312 species (generally only single subspecies of a species are recognized in the province) suggesting that the Canadian distribution pattern of species is more like that of a Bismark, the dough may be a little thinner in the center but there is also a core of good things. This list was largely R. Hopper’s project. He collected Saskatchewan insects since at least the 1960’s and over the last decade before his death he had compiled a list of the species he had collected along with other records from the literature or given him by other collectors (Hooper 2001).

A catalogue of the current valid 111 species and 3 subspecies of Pyrrhalta of the world is presented. The compilation includes the complete taxonomic synonymy, geographical distribution and host plant record for each species. Key words: Coleoptera; Chrysomelidae; Galerucinae; Pyrrhalta; catalogue CLC number: Q969.512.4 Document code: A Article ID: 1000-7482(2010)S0-0119-18 The genus Pyrrhalta was erected by Joannis (1866), and treated as a subgenus of Galeruca. Weise (1924) elevated it to a genus level. It is one of the most species-rich genera of Galerucinae in the world. There are 111 species and 3 subspecies distributed in Palearctic Region, Oriental Region, Australian Region and Nearctic Region, among them, 57 species are recorded in China. Some of them are severe pests of landscape trees, for example, Pyrrhalta aenescens (Fairmaire) and Pyrrhalta maculicollis (Motschulsky) are the main pests of elm tree. In northern China, the two species mentiond above are distributed abroadly and are usually sympatric occurring. Larvae and adults feed on leaves, and can finish off all the leaves of the tree when they occur severely. Another species, Pyrrhalta humeralis (Chen), is the important pest of Viburnum spp. and Ligustrum calleryanum Decne., and caused heavy loss of landscape gardening in China.
