Heteroptera: Coreidae: Coreinae: Leptoscelini)
Brailovsky: A Revision of the Genus Amblyomia 475 A REVISION OF THE GENUS AMBLYOMIA STÅL (HETEROPTERA: COREIDAE: COREINAE: LEPTOSCELINI) HARRY BRAILOVSKY Instituto de Biología, UNAM, Departamento de Zoología, Apdo Postal 70153 México 04510 D.F. México ABSTRACT The genus Amblyomia Stål is revised and two new species, A. foreroi and A. prome- ceops from Colombia, are described. New host plant and distributional records of A. bifasciata Stål are given; habitus illustrations and drawings of male and female gen- italia are included as well as a key to the known species. The group feeds on bromeli- ads. Key Words: Insecta, Heteroptera, Coreidae, Leptoscelini, Amblyomia, Bromeliaceae RESUMEN El género Amblyomia Stål es revisado y dos nuevas especies, A. foreroi y A. prome- ceops, recolectadas en Colombia, son descritas. Plantas hospederas y nuevas local- idades para A. bifasciata Stål son incluidas; se ofrece una clave para la separación de las especies conocidas, las cuales son ilustradas incluyendo los genitales de ambos sexos. Las preferencias tróficas del grupo están orientadas hacia bromelias. Palabras clave: Insecta, Heteroptera, Coreidae, Leptoscelini, Amblyomia, Bromeli- aceae The neotropical genus Amblyomia Stål was previously known from a single Mexi- can species, A. bifasciata Stål 1870. In the present paper the genus is redefined to in- clude two new species collected in Colombia. This genus apparently is restricted to feeding on members of the Bromeliaceae, and specimens were collected on the heart of Ananas comosus and Aechmea bracteata. -

It is consistent with the congressional intent of Section 315 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, and the provisions of the Ohio Coastal Management Program. OWC NERR Management Plan, 2011 - 2016 Acknowledgements This management plan was prepared by the staff and Advisory Council of the Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve (OWC NERR), in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Wildlife. Participants in the planning process included: Manager, Frank Lopez; Research Coordinator, Dr. David Klarer; Coastal Training Program Coordinator, Heather Elmer; Education Coordinator, Ann Keefe; Education Specialist Phoebe Van Zoest; and Office Assistant, Gloria Pasterak. Other Reserve staff including Dick Boyer and Marje Bernhardt contributed their expertise to numerous planning meetings. The Reserve is grateful for the input and recommendations provided by members of the Old Woman Creek NERR Advisory Council. The Reserve is appreciative of the review, guidance, and council of Division of Wildlife Executive Administrator Dave Scott and the mapping expertise of Keith Lott and the late Steve Barry. -
K'gari Survey of Freshwater Lakes and Streams
K’GARI SURVEY OF FRESHWATER LAKES AND STREAMS CATHERINE YULE, SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OF THE SUNSHINE COAST INTRODUCTION K’gari (also known as Fraser Island) is the largest sand island in the world. In 1992 it was inscribed on the World Heritage List in recognition of its outstanding natural universal values. The island has formed over the past two million years as sand has been swept up from the Australian continental shelf to the south by currents, waves and wind (Moss 2016). The sand has formed dunes which have become vegetated with a range of ecosystem types including rainforest. Over 100 lakes have formed in depressions between the dunes and many freshwater streams flow off the slopes of the dunes to the sea. The lakes are ‘perched’ high above sea level on a substrate of pure silica sand which influences their water chemistry (Timms 1986). Although sandy substrates are typical of marine environments, it is relatively unusual to find so many freshwater habitats which have substrates entirely of sand. There have been previous studies of lakes on K’gari (e.g. Arthington et al. 1986, Arthington and Hadwen 2003, Moss 2016) but I know of no previous published studies of streams. A pilot survey of four streams and two lake ecosystems on K’gari was undertaken in November 2019. The survey’s main objectives were to undertake an assessment of the water quality of the wetlands with respect to basic physico-chemical parameters, invertebrate fauna and flora and to introduce the Butchulla Land and Sea Rangers to basic freshwater survey techniques. -
