A Review of the Hemiptera of Great Britain: the Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Bugs
Natural England Commissioned Report NECR188 A review of the Hemiptera of Great Britain: The Aquatic and Semi-aquatic Bugs Dipsocoromorpha, Gerromorpha, Leptopodomorpha & Nepomorpha Species Status No.24 First published 20 November 2015 www.gov.uk/natural -england Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background Making good decisions to conserve species should primarily be based upon an objective process of determining the degree of threat to the survival of a species. The recognised international approach to undertaking this is by assigning the species to one of the IUCN threat categories. This report was commissioned to update the national status of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs using IUCN methodology for assessing threat. It covers all species of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs (Heteroptera) in Great Britain, identifying those that are rare and/or under threat as well as non-threatened and non-native species. Reviews for other invertebrate groups will follow. Natural England Project Manager - Jon Webb, [email protected] Contractor - A.A. Cook (author) Keywords - invertebrates, red list, IUCN, status reviews, Heteroptera, aquatic bugs, shore bugs, IUCN threat categories, GB rarity status Further information This report can be downloaded from the Natural England website: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/natural-england.

To je prva zanesljiva najdba te vrste v Sloveniji. KLJUŒNE BESEDE: Heteroptera, Corixidae, Micronecta, favna, Slovenija Species of the genus Micronecta are the smallest water bugs. Usually they are included in the family Corixidae (water boatmen), but Nieser (2002) put them in their own family Micronectidae due to several morphological differences. Their behaviour is also different from other corixids in many respects. They are found in stagnant or slowly flowing waters, usually along shores with little (or without) veg- etation. They live in small to very large swarms. Their food is not known, but they can be kept alive just with fresh bottom material from their habitats (Jansson, 1986). They breathe the oxygen dissolved in water and do not come for the air to the sur- face. So they cannot live in oxygen-poor waters and are hard-hit by pollution. They overwinter as larvae and reach the adult stage in early summer. -

The Diversity of Feeding Habits Recorded for Water Boatmen
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGYENTOMOLOGY ISSN (online): 1802-8829 Eur. J.

Heteroptera, Corixoidea, aquatic invertebrates, food webs, diet, predation, feeding habits Abstract. Food webs are of crucial importance for understanding any ecosystem. The accuracy of food web and ecosystem models rests on the reliability of the information on the feeding habits of the species involved. Water boatmen (Corixoidea) is the most diverse superfamily of water bugs (Heteroptera: Nepomorpha), frequently the most abundant group of insects in a variety of freshwater habitats worldwide. In spite of their high biomass, the importance of water boatmen in aquatic ecosystems is fre- quently underestimated. The diet and feeding habits of Corixoidea are unclear as published data are frequently contradictory. We summarise information on the feeding habits of this taxon, which exemplify the diffi culties in evaluating published data on feeding habits in an invertebrate taxon. -
1 Basic Arthropod Taxonomy Arthropods Include the Insects, Spiders, Mites, Ticks, Ostracods, Copepods, Scorpions, Centipedes, Sh
Basic Arthropod Taxonomy Arthropods include the insects, spiders, mites, ticks, ostracods, copepods, scorpions, centipedes, shrimps, and crayfishes. Of these, insects make up > 50% of all the nominal species of organisms in the world. Insects and its allies or relatives whether pests or beneficials are part of rice ecosystems. Basic arthropod identification is important in ecological research to understand interactions, which are vital for developing better pest management tools and strategies. This manual will focus on: • Identification of different arthropod groups. • Identification of major diagnostic features of the most common and important arthropod orders, families and species especially insects and spiders in the rice agricultural landscape using taxonomic keys. • Handling and preserving arthropods for identification. Manual content Differences: Insects (Class Insecta) and Spiders (Class Arachnida, Order Araneae) Insects Spiders Body regions 3: head, thorax and abdomen 2: cephalothorax (fused head and thorax) and unsegmented abdomen Eyes 2-3 compound eyes and 0-8 (with some ground 3 ocelli or simple eyes dwellers having no eyes) Legs (no.) 3 pairs 4 pairs Wings Present Absent Antennae Present Absent Summary of Insect Orders and Families and Spider Families covered in this workshop Order Family Common name Common species Food habit Odonata Coenagrionidae Damselfly Agriocnemis Predator (flying femina femina insects and (Brauer) hoppers) 1 A. pygmaea Predator (flying (Rambur) insects and hoppers) Order Family Common name Common species Food habit Odonata Libellulidae Dragonfly Diplacodes Predator (stem trivialis (Drury) borers, leaffeeders and planthoppers) Orthoptera Tettigoniidae Long-horned Conocephalus Predator (rice grasshoppers longipennis (de bug, stem borers, Haan) and planthopper and leafhopper nymphs) Gryllidae Crickets Euscyrtus Pest concinnus (de Haan) Acrididae Short-horned Oxya spp. -
Comparative Study of Antennal Sensilla of Corixidae and Micronectidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nepomorpha: Corixoidea)
insects Article Comparative Study of Antennal Sensilla of Corixidae and Micronectidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Nepomorpha: Corixoidea) Agnieszka Nowi ´nska 1, Ping-ping Chen 2 and Jolanta Bro˙zek 1,* 1 Institute of Biology, Biotechnology and Environmental Protection, University of Silesia in Katowice, Bankowa 9, 40-007 Katowice, Poland; [email protected] 2 Naturalis Biodiversity Center, P.O. Box 9517, NL-2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 September 2020; Accepted: 25 October 2020; Published: 27 October 2020 Simple Summary: Insects’ antennae are an important location for the structures responsible for sensorial perception. These structures have different morphologies and respond to different mechanical and chemical stimuli. Corixidae and Micronectidae are groups of insects living in water. Because of that, their antennae are much smaller than the antennae of terrestrial insects. Apart from that, their position on the evolutionary tree has been changed over the years. We analyzed the antennae of different species of Corixidae and Micronectidae and found five different types of sensillar structures. Moreover, by comparing the two groups together and with other water insects, we established similarities and differences when it comes to the types and distributions of these structures. These findings allowed us to support the current systematic position of the studied insects. Abstract: The goal of this study was to analyze the types and distributional patterns of sensilla in Corixoidea, which is part of the approach to the phylogeny study of Nepomorpha, based on the morphological characters of sensilla. This paper presents the results of the study, with the use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), on the antennae of species from the families Corixidae and Micronectidae. -
The Freshwater Bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of Cheshire
The freshwater bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of Cheshire Jonathan Guest Germany. The late Dr. Alan Savage School of Life Sciences, Keele University, STS 5BG. Dr. Ian Wallace Entomology Section, Liverpool Museum, William Brown St., Liverpool, L3 8EN.* ______________________________ *address for correspondence_____________________ Introduction Cheshire is predominantly a lowland county. It has a very large number of ponds, internationally important habitats in the form of meres and mosses, intriguing inland saline waters associated with the salt industry and two major estuaries. Upland water bodies are restricted to the far east of the county. Eleven families of British Heteroptera are grouped as aquatic bugs with 64 species in 23 genera; Cheshire is both well-recorded and well-represented with 10 families, and 48 species in 21 genera. By stark contrast, the record coverage maps in Huxley (2003) show clearly that Lancashire, away from the coast, and especially south Lancashire, is very poorly recorded. Water bugs are very familiar freshwater insects, with most species being easy to catch in a pond-net; a few are best sought by pressing marginal vegetation underwater, and one lives amongst Sphagnum moss. They can be preserved in isopropyl alcohol, or a 70% ethyl alcohol solution - the traditional medium used by freshwater biologists, or pinned, or even carded - but important identification features are found on the underside in several genera. Identification is straightforward and satisfying using Savage (1989) for adults; for immatures of the large family Corixidae see Savage (1999) and for young pondskaters there is Brinkhurst (1959). Information sources Britten (1930) provided the first check-list for Cheshire water bugs, which was updated by Massee (1955) and Judd (1990). -

E-mail: [email protected] 4 Corresponding author Abstract The water bugs represent a significant component of the freshwater biota, play an important role in trophic webs, and may have considerable economic importance. Nevertheless, systematic research of this group has been underdeveloped in Slo- vakia (central Europe) for decades. This work presents a list of water bug species of Slovakia based on an exhaustive re- view of the literature (time span: 1808–2013) and on more than 14,000 individuals collected during extensive field campaigns (2010–2014) or obtained from insect collections. Fifty-six species belonging to 11 families of Heteroptera were recorded from a total of 767 sites. Seven species were recorded for the first time from Slovakia during our research.
