Samoan Insects Akd Related Arthropods: Checklist and Bibliography SAMOAN INSECTS AKD RELATED ARTHROPODS: CHECKLIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY Kaiin S. Kami and Scott E. Miller Bishop Museum Technical Report No. IS Honolulu, Hawaii 1998 Published by Bishop Museum Press lS25Bemice Street Honolulu, Hawaii 96817 Copyright © Bishop Museum, 1998 All Rights Reserved Printed in the United States of America ISBN 0-930897-74-9 ISSN 1085^55X iDtroduetíon This checklist and bibliography provides a preliminary synthesis of the literature on insects and related aithiopods of the Samoan Islands. It is a parallel product U) the checklist (Nishida, 1997b) and bibliogrBphy(Nishida, 1997a) of Hawaiian insects and their relatives produced by Bifiiop Museum's Ha^A^ Biological Sxnvey and it complements the catalog of Samoan oonmarine snails and slugs (Cowie, 1998). To provide a contextual fiamework for future work in Pacific entomology. Miller (1997) reviewed the general status of understanding of insects of the Pacific Islands. Hie present list includes 2523 species of insects and 251 species of other arthropods. Thsse numbers are probably an overestimate of the number of published species records (because of unresolved synonymies), but certainly underestimate the total number of species present in Samoa, because many have not yet been recorded in the literature. Many new unrepoited records are present in collections, especially at Bishop Museum (Honolulu) and Landcare Research (Auckland). Nevstheless, this list provides a foundation for future research. This List is based on card files of Pacific insects assembled up to úie mid 1960s by Edward H. Biyan, Jr., and Amy Suehiro at the Bishop Museum and a critical review of a large amount of Uterature on Pacific entomology, supplemented by checks of major online hterature databases and hljrary catalogs. We constructed a database of aU citations to all names mentioned as occurring on any Samoan island. The checklist and bibhography presented here are summaries of thai comprehensive citation database, which we expect to both make available on Internet and deposit at American Samoa Community Collie. We have attempted to provide the current valid usage of all the names that have been associated with Samoan insects. We have not attei^Jted to validate the original identificalions, although in some cases it is clear the names were mis^iplied. Resolution of residency status (e.g., endemic, indigenous, alien) was b^ond the scope of this project, but we hope to add residoicy status to the database in the future. We have followed the names used in the hterature in reporting species and subspecies, but it appears Üial many . of the subspecies names appUed to Samoan insects should be reviewed. Similarly, many of the generic concepts EçipHed earlier in tins century need critical review. The moths include some notable examples of monotypic endemic genera that have not been critically evaluated in the last 50 or more years. Geogr^hic coverage includes all the Samoan iclflTid^, including Swains Island. The checklist columns for "Samoan Islands" (SI), "American Samoa" (AS), and "Westem Samoa" (WS) denote records that did not specify particular islands. We retain usage of Westem Samoa for the country now known as Samoa to avoid confusion. Títere have been four major periods of contribution to the hterature on Samoan arthropods. (1) The early German work, especially Rechinger (1907-1914), resulting fit>m collections in 1905; (2) the seminal Insects of Samoa series (9 volumes, 1927-1935) pubUshed by the British Museum (Natural History), resulting &om expeditions by the British Museum (especially collections made by F.A. Buxton and GJi.E. Hopkiiis in I924-I925) and Bishop Museum (E.H. Bryan, Jr. and associates); (3) the work of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association and Bishop Museum in 1923,1940, and other years (Swezey, 1942); and (4) from 1974 to 1978, the United Nations (United Nations Development Programme and ihc Food and Agriculture Organization) sponsored an agricultural pest and disease survey that included Samoa, coordinated by the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (now LandCare Research) (Maddison, 1989). Unfortunately, most of the results of this last survey have not yet been published. The information contained herein reflects the information available to us as of 15 December 1997. But it is an interim product, subject to continued improvement in resolution of taxoDomic identities and geogrsqihic distributions. We will appnaate notification of additions and corrections.

  • Spiders of the Hawaiian Islands: Catalog and Bibliography1
    Pacific Insects 6 (4) : 665-687 December 30, 1964 SPIDERS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS: CATALOG AND BIBLIOGRAPHY1 By Theodore W. Suman BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU, HAWAII Abstract: This paper contains a systematic list of species, and the literature references, of the spiders occurring in the Hawaiian Islands. The species total 149 of which 17 are record­ ed here for the first time. This paper lists the records and literature of the spiders in the Hawaiian Islands. The islands included are Kure, Midway, Laysan, French Frigate Shoal, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii. The only major work dealing with the spiders in the Hawaiian Is. was published 60 years ago in " Fauna Hawaiiensis " by Simon (1900 & 1904). All of the endemic spiders known today, except Pseudanapis aloha Forster, are described in that work which also in­ cludes a listing of several introduced species. The spider collection available to Simon re­ presented only a small part of the entire Hawaiian fauna. In all probability, the endemic species are only partly known. Since the appearance of Simon's work, there have been many new records and lists of introduced spiders. The known Hawaiian spider fauna now totals 149 species and 4 subspecies belonging to 21 families and 66 genera. Of this total, 82 species (5596) are believed to be endemic and belong to 10 families and 27 genera including 7 endemic genera. The introduced spe­ cies total 65 (44^). Two unidentified species placed in indigenous genera comprise the remaining \%. Seventeen species are recorded here for the first time. In the catalog section of this paper, families, genera and species are listed alphabetical­ ly for convenience.

  • The Mcguire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity
    Supplemental Information All specimens used within this study are housed in: the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity (MGCL) at the Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, USA (FLMNH); the University of Maryland, College Park, USA (UMD); the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris, France (MNHN); and the Australian National Insect Collection in Canberra, Australia (ANIC). Methods DNA extraction protocol of dried museum specimens (detailed instructions) Prior to tissue sampling, dried (pinned or papered) specimens were assigned MGCL barcodes, photographed, and their labels digitized. Abdomens were then removed using sterile forceps, cleaned with 100% ethanol between each sample, and the remaining specimens were returned to their respective trays within the MGCL collections. Abdomens were placed in 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes with the apex of the abdomen in the conical end of the tube. For larger abdomens, 5 mL microcentrifuge tubes or larger were utilized. A solution of proteinase K (Qiagen Cat #19133) and genomic lysis buffer (OmniPrep Genomic DNA Extraction Kit) in a 1:50 ratio was added to each abdomen containing tube, sufficient to cover the abdomen (typically either 300 µL or 500 µL) - similar to the concept used in Hundsdoerfer & Kitching (1). Ratios of 1:10 and 1:25 were utilized for low quality or rare specimens. Low quality specimens were defined as having little visible tissue inside of the abdomen, mold/fungi growth, or smell of bacterial decay. Samples were incubated overnight (12-18 hours) in a dry air oven at 56°C. Importantly, we also adjusted the ratio depending on the tissue type, i.e., increasing the ratio for particularly large or egg-containing abdomens.

The case of Embrik Strand (Arachnida: Araneae) 22-29 Arachnologische Mitteilungen / Arachnology Letters 59: 22-29 Karlsruhe, April 2020 How to deal with destroyed type material? The case of Embrik Strand (Arachnida: Araneae) Wolfgang Nentwig, Theo Blick, Daniel Gloor, Peter Jäger & Christian Kropf doi: 10.30963/aramit5904 Abstract. When the museums of Lübeck, Stuttgart, Tübingen and partly of Wiesbaden were destroyed during World War II between 1942 and 1945, also all or parts of their type material were destroyed, among them types from spider species described by Embrik Strand bet- ween 1906 and 1917. He did not illustrate type material from 181 species and one subspecies and described them only in an insufficient manner. These species were never recollected during more than 110 years and no additional taxonomically relevant information was published in the arachnological literature. It is impossible to recognize them, so we declare these 181 species here as nomina dubia. Four of these species belong to monotypic genera, two of them to a ditypic genus described by Strand in the context of the mentioned species descriptions. Consequently, without including valid species, the five genera Carteroniella Strand, 1907, Eurypelmella Strand, 1907, Theumella Strand, 1906, Thianella Strand, 1907 and Tmeticides Strand, 1907 are here also declared as nomina dubia. Palystes modificus minor Strand, 1906 is a junior synonym of P.

    REVIEW ZOOS' PRINT JOURNAL 22(2): 2551-2597 CHECKLIST OF SPIDERS (ARACHNIDA: ARANEAE) OF SOUTH ASIA INCLUDING THE 2006 UPDATE OF INDIAN SPIDER CHECKLIST Manju Siliwal 1 and Sanjay Molur 2,3 1,2 Wildlife Information & Liaison Development (WILD) Society, 3 Zoo Outreach Organisation (ZOO) 29-1, Bharathi Colony, Peelamedu, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu 641004, India Email: 1 [email protected]; 3 [email protected] ABSTRACT Thesaurus, (Vol. 1) in 1734 (Smith, 2001). Most of the spiders After one year since publication of the Indian Checklist, this is described during the British period from South Asia were by an attempt to provide a comprehensive checklist of spiders of foreigners based on the specimens deposited in different South Asia with eight countries - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The European Museums. Indian checklist is also updated for 2006. The South Asian While the Indian checklist (Siliwal et al., 2005) is more spider list is also compiled following The World Spider Catalog accurate, the South Asian spider checklist is not critically by Platnick and other peer-reviewed publications since the last scrutinized due to lack of complete literature, but it gives an update. In total, 2299 species of spiders in 67 families have overview of species found in various South Asian countries, been reported from South Asia. There are 39 species included in this regions checklist that are not listed in the World Catalog gives the endemism of species and forms a basis for careful of Spiders. Taxonomic verification is recommended for 51 species. and participatory work by arachnologists in the region.
