V. 2010: New faunistic records of Hebridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from the Mediterranean and the Near and Middle East. Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 95(2): 11–18. – The following new or confirmed records of West and Central Palaearctic Hebridae are given: Hebrus kiritshenkoi Kanyukova, 1997 from Afghanistan, Hebrus montanus Kolenati, 1857 from Greece, Jordan, Lebanon, and Morocco, Hebrus pilipes Kanyukova, 1997 from Afghanistan, and Hebrus oxianus Kanyukova, 1997 from Afghanistan and Iran. The records from Afghanistan are the first representatives of the family Hebridae from this country. Keywords. Heteroptera, Hebridae, Hebrus, faunistics, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Greece, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Uzbekistan, Palaearctic Region Introduction The velvet water bugs or sphagnum bugs, family Hebridae, make up one of the basal groups of the infraorder Gerromorpha (DAMGAARD 2008). These small bugs (1.3–3.7 mm) are predatory on small arthropods. Primarily terrestrial, the bugs inhabit moist microhabitats on the banks of bodies of water (humid litter, moss), and marginal aquatic habitats (sphagnum bogs, sedge marshes), while some tropical representatives live on the surface of water covered with floating plants, sometimes entering the water; the Oriental genus Nieserius Zettel, 1999 is obligatorily subaquatic. Hebrids of temperate zones overwinter in the adult stage (ANDERSEN 1995, ANDERSEN & WEIR 2004, CHEN et al. 2005). The family Hebridae includes two subfamilies, Hebrinae (7 genera, c. 180 species described) and Hyrcaninae (2 genera, 13 species), distributed worldwide from temperate to tropical zones (ANDERSEN & WEIR 2004, CHEN et al. 2005). The Palaearctic fauna includes four genera (Hebrinae: Hebrus Curtis, 1833, Merragata White, 1877, Timasius Distant, 1909; Hyrcaninae: Hyrcanus Distant, 1911), but only the genus Hebrus is known in most of the western and central Palaearctic (ANDERSEN 1995). For a long time, the Palaearctic Hebridae attracted little attention. ANDERSEN (1995) listed only 26 species- group taxa, several of them known only from original descriptions. Later, BAENA (1996) synonymized H. pusillus canariensis Poisson, 1954 and H. dupuisi Wagner, 1954, with H. pusillus pusillus (Fallén, 1807). KANYUKOVA (1997) revised the Hebridae fauna of the former Soviet Union, describing five new species: Hebrus hissarensis Kanyukova, 1997 11 P. K MENT & E. V. KANYUKOVA (Tajikistan), H. kiritshenkoi Kanyukova, 1997 (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan), H. oxianus Kanyukova, 1997 (central Asia), H. pilipes Kanyukova, 1997 (from Ukraine to central Asia), and H. pilosellus Kanyukova, 1997 (Far East of Russia). Additional faunistic records and corrections of previously published data from the Mediterranean and the Near and Middle East were provided by NIESER (1995), LINNAVUORI & MODARRES (1998), JOSIFOV (1999), LINNAVUORI & HOSSEINI (2000), CHAVANON et al. (2004), GADALLA & SALEH AHMAD (2005), KMENT & JINDRA (2005), PAGOLA-CARTE & RIBES (2007), and FENT et al. (in press). In this paper, some more faunistic records are given, based mainly on revision of the collection of the National Museum, Prague, Czech Republic, including the first records of the family Hebridae from Afghanistan. Material and methods The material examined in this paper is deposited in the following collections: HNHM . Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary MMBC .

ANDERSEN (1995) listed H. montanus from Albania, Bulgaria, France, Macedonia, ?Romania, Russia (South European Territory), Egypt, Morocco, Armenia, the Asian part of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Syria, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. In her revision, KANYUKOVA (1997, 2006) confirmed its occurrence in the South European Territory of Russia (Krasnodarsk and Stavropol Regions, Daghestan), Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran, while the previous records from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan belong to other species. KMENT & JINDRA (2005) provided further records from Bosnia Herzegovina, Serbia, Bulgaria, and the Asian part of Turkey. Moreover, LINNAVUORI & HOSSEINI (2000) and FENT et al. (in press) added more localities from Iran and Asian Turkey. Previous records from France, Albania, Macedonia, Romania, Egypt, Syria (ANDERSEN 1995) and Israel (NIESER 1995) still require revision. Here we provide first records of H. montanus for Greece, Jordan and Lebanon, and confirmed records for France and Morocco. Habitat. KANYUKOVA (1997, 2006) provided no information on the habitat of H. montanus. In Iran it was collected in the following habitats: the bottom of a salty brook with mud, on banks with salty sediments and growth of Schoenoplectus and Typha (Shiraz); in a wadi with Vitex agnus-castus, Alhagi and Nerium kotschyi growth, its banks partly muddy and partly sandy (Aliabad); in a wadi in semi-desert (Sivand); on the banks of a river running through forest overgrown with Acer (Dasht env.); and in pools of water in the bottom of a canyon (Isin) (HOBERLANDT 1974, 1981). In Turkey it was collected at hot springs surrounded by mud (Armutlu), on river banks (Abacilar), in a half-dried-out stream (Alacakilise), in a boggy area with swamp vegetation by a river (Gyaur dağları), on shaded rock in the spray zone of a waterfall (Eğner env.), and on the banks of a small river with gravel and vegetation (Ayvaçik) (see HOBERLANDT 1952, FENT et al. in press, HOBERLANDT & TÁBORSKÝ 1948).

A new genus and species, Yuripopovina magnifica, belonging to a new coreoid family, Yuripopovinidae (Hemiptera: Pentatomomorpha), is described and illustrated from the Lower Cretaceous amber of Lebanon. The species represents the first definitive Mesozoic record for the Coreoidea. A cladistic analysis of Coreoidea, including the new family, is undertaken. KEY WORDS: Pentatomomorpha, Coreoidea, Yuripopovinidae, fam. n., gen. n., sp. n., Lebanon, phylogeny. INTRODUCTION The Pentatomomorpha with its 14 000 known living species (WEIRAUCH & SCHUH 2011) is the second largest of the seven heteropteran infraorders (SCHAEFER 1993, ŠTYS & KERZHNER 1975) (Enicocephalomorpha, Dipsocoromorpha, Gerromorpha, Nepomorpha, Leptodomorpha, Cimicomorpha, and Pentatomorpha). Most authors recognize five superfamilies within Pentatomomorpha, but there remains controversy regarding the 628 Polish Journal of Entomology 80 (4) composition of these superfamilies (SCHAEFER 1993, ŠTYS 1961).

    the eggs of the terrestrial Hetroptera 205 or stems of their host. The eggs of species living in stored products are laid, like those of (Jimex, in exposed or semi-exposed situations. , The eggs of the Anthocoridae show a general similarity to those of the Cimicidae, but differ in the presence ofa reduced network region. This character is also found in the Nabidae and Microphysidae. The thickened operculum of Acompocons is similar to that inthe Nabidae, but the elliptical-shaped operculum of EBltophilus is found elsewhere only in the Miridae.

Only the eggs of Loriula and Myrmedobia have been described. These are very characteristic with tapering processes that probably correspond to the network region (fig. 6N) (Carayon, 1949b). The eggs of Loricula elegantula (Barensprung) *xe very largecompared with the adultfemale, two (the maximum number found) almost filling the abdomen. These ovarian eggs have been studied and the pseudoinicropyles found to be short, as in the Anthocoridae, terminating at the base of the network region. In the ovarian egg the processes of the network region touch at their tips and thus cover the operculum, but Carayon (1949b) found that in the laid egg they radiate out and thus their apices become widely separate. The operculum is thin and flat with a pattern, due to the follicle cells, similar to that of the Anthocoridae. (Carayon (1949b) found the eggs, that are grey to brown in colour, inserted amongst lichens growing on the twigs of various trees.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments

    About the Book the Format Acknowledgments

    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

TRICEROMYCES: WITH A DESCRIPTION OF MONOECIOUS-DIOECIOUS DIMORPHISM IN THE GENUS RICHARD K. BENJAMIN Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91711 ABSTRACf Six species of Triceromyces (Laboulbeniales), including the type, T. balazucii (on Hebridae), parasitic on semiaquatic Hemiptera, were studied at the light-microscopic level. Descriptions are provided for all of the taxa, and features of developmental morphology are described, compared, and illustrated with photographs and line drawings. Four species are described as new: T. hebri (on Hebridae), T. hydrometrae (on Hydrometridae), and T. bi/ormis and T. bullatus (on MesoveJiidae). The species growing on Hebridae and Hydrometridae are monoecious. The two species on Mesoveliidae develop monoecious and dioecious morphs, which occur together on the same host individual. This phenom­ enon is recognized and described for the first time in the Laboulbeniales. Two species, Autophagomyces poissonii and Dioicomyces mesoveliae, previously described from a species ofMesoveliidae, are shown to represent the monoecious and dioecious forms of a species of Triceromyces and are transferred to this genus as T.
