New Termitaphididae and Aradidae (Hemiptera) in Mexican and Dominican Amber Palaeodiversity 4: 51–62; Stuttgart 30 December 2011. 51 New Termitaphididae and Aradidae (Hemiptera) in Mexican and Dominican amber GEORGE POINAR, JR. & ERNST HEISS Abstract A new species of termite bug, Termitaradus dominicanus POINAR, n. sp. (Hemiptera: Termitaphididae) and a new genus and species of fl at bug, Brevisensoria incrustata POINAR, n. gen., n. sp. (Hemiptera: Aradidae) are described from Dominican amber. Termitaradus dominicanus POINAR, n. sp. is distinguished from previously described mem- bers of the genus by lobules with terminal fl abella composed of two to four minute, non-serrate setae, with each setal group embedded in a hardened envelope or deposit. Brevisensoria incrustata POINAR, n. gen., n. sp. can be separated from other members of the Aradidae by the absence of compound eyes, ocelli and wings, modifi ed head fused to the prothorax, unique antennal structure and the dorsum forming a continuous body covering with a peripheral margin bearing lobes. The oval body shape, convex dorsum with incrustations, convex ventrum, absence of lobules and unique structure of the antennae distinguish the new genus from members of the Termitaphididae. In addition, fi ve specimens of Termitaradus protera POINAR & DOYEN in a single piece of Mexican amber that also contains seven worker termites are characterized. K e y w o r d s : Dominican amber, Tertiary termite bugs, Tertiary fl at bug, Mexican amber. Zusammenfassung Aus Dominikanischem Bernstein werden Termitaradus dominicanus POINAR, n. sp. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Termitaphididae) und die neue Gattung und Art Brevisensoria incrustata POINAR, n. gen., n. sp. (Hemiptera: Hete- roptera: Aradidae) beschrieben. Termitaradus dominicanus POINAR, n. sp. unterscheidet sich von den anderen Arten der Gattung durch die terminalen Fortsätze (fl abellae) der Lateralloben der Segmente, welche mit zwei bis vier kleinen, nicht gezähnten Borsten besetzt sind und jedes Borstenbündel einer verhärteten Basis entspringt. Bre- visensoria incrustata POINAR, n. gen., n. sp. kann von anderen Taxa der Familie Aradidae durch das Fehlen von Komplexaugen, Ocellen und Flügeln, dem modifi ziertem Kopf, der mit dem Prothorax verwachsen ist, die einzig- artige Fühlerstruktur und die Dorsalseite des Körpers unterschieden werden, deren Segmente mittig durchgehend verschmolzen sind, jedoch laterale Loben ausgebildet haben. Die ovale Körperform, die konvexe Dorsalseite mit Krustenstrukturen und die konvexe Unterseite, das Fehlen von terminalen Fortsätzen der Lateralloben und die ein- zigartige Struktur der Fühler unterscheiden die neue Gattung auch von den Termitaphididae. Weiters werden fünf Exemplare von Termitaradus protera POINAR & DOYEN beschrieben, welche sich zusammen mit sieben Arbeitern einer Termite in einem Stück Mexikanischem Bernstein befi nden.

L ARIVIÈRE & A. L AROCHELLE Abstract: Nineteen genera and thirty-nine species of Aradidae have been described from New Zealand, most of which are endemic (12 genera, 38 species). An overview of all genera and an identification key to subfamilies, tribes, and genera are presented for the first time. Species included in each genus are list- ed for New Zealand. Concise generic descriptions, illustrations emphasizing key diagnostic features, colour photographs representing each genus, an overview of the most relevant literature, and notes on distribution are also given. The biology and diversification of New Zealand aradids, and their affinities with neighbouring faunas are briefly discussed. Key words: Aradidae, biogeography, Hemiptera, New Zealand, taxonomy.

  • Insect Classification Standards 2020
    RECOMMENDED INSECT CLASSIFICATION FOR UGA ENTOMOLOGY CLASSES (2020) In an effort to standardize the hexapod classification systems being taught to our students by our faculty in multiple courses across three UGA campuses, I recommend that the Entomology Department adopts the basic system presented in the following textbook: Triplehorn, C.A. and N.F. Johnson. 2005. Borror and DeLong’s Introduction to the Study of Insects. 7th ed. Thomson Brooks/Cole, Belmont CA, 864 pp. This book was chosen for a variety of reasons. It is widely used in the U.S. as the textbook for Insect Taxonomy classes, including our class at UGA. It focuses on North American taxa. The authors were cautious, presenting changes only after they have been widely accepted by the taxonomic community. Below is an annotated summary of the T&J (2005) classification. Some of the more familiar taxa above the ordinal level are given in caps. Some of the more important and familiar suborders and families are indented and listed beneath each order. Note that this is neither an exhaustive nor representative list of suborders and families. It was provided simply to clarify which taxa are impacted by some of more important classification changes. Please consult T&J (2005) for information about taxa that are not listed below. Unfortunately, T&J (2005) is now badly outdated with respect to some significant classification changes. Therefore, in the classification standard provided below, some well corroborated and broadly accepted updates have been made to their classification scheme. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this classification.
