Aposematism, true bugs, Heteroptera, avian predators, mimetic complex Abstract. True bugs are generally considered to be well protected against bird predation. Sympatric species that have similar warning coloration are supposed to form a functional Müllerian mimetic complex avoided by visually oriented avian predators. We have tested whether these assumptions hold true for four species of European red-and-black heteropterans, viz. Pyrrhocoris apterus, Lygaeus equestris, Spilostethus saxatilis, and Graphosoma lineatum. We found that individual species of passerine birds differ in their responses towards particular bug species. Great tits (Parus major) avoided all of them on sight, robins (Erithacus rubecula) and yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella) discriminated among them and attacked bugs of some species with higher probability than oth- ers, and blackbirds (Turdus merula) frequently attacked bugs of all the tested species. Different predators thus perceive aposematic prey differently, and the extent of Batesian-Müllerian mimetic complexes and relations among the species involved is predator dependent. INTRODUCTION some cases their very existence are often suspect and Unpalatable animals usually use warning signals to dis- mostly lack experimental evidence. Only few comparative courage predators from attacking them.

WERNER Zusammenfassung: Im Jahr 1985 ist Lygaeus simulans als neue Art beschrieben und von Lygaeus equestris (Linnaeus, 1758) abgetrennt worden. Beide Arten nutzen als Wirtspflanzen vorwiegend die Weiße Schwalbenwurz Vincetoxicum hirundinaria (Asclepiadaceae) und/oder das Frühlings- Adonisröschen Adonis vernalis (Ranunculaceae), lehnen aber andere Pflanzen nicht ab. Die Art L. equestris, die den Namen Ritterwanze trägt, ist in Deutschland und Österreich zum „Insekt des Jahres 2007“ gekürt worden. Es wird erstmals für Deutschland eine Nachweiskarte vorgestellt und diskutiert, in der sowohl die beiden Nutzer L. equestris und L. simulans als auch ihre beiden Hauptwirtspflanzen zusammen erscheinen.

    Vol 20, No. 5;May 2013 Some Biological Parameters and Morphological Descriptions Study on the Milkweed Bug, Spilostethus Pandurus Scop., (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) Hanan H. Awad*, Heba A. S. Elelimy, Aziza H. Omar and Afaf A. Meguid Entomology Dep., Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Egypt * Corresponding author. Tel.: +20 1005690494; fax: +20 235728843. E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract The milkweed bug, Spilostethus pandurus, is an agricultural pest in Egypt and some other tropical and subtropical areas. The objective of the present work is to clarify some biological parameters and morphological descriptions to emphasize the future researches from the ecological view point to the physiological study, biochemical study and control programs, integrated pest management program, study. Adult emergence of S. pandurus in summer season was higher than that in winter season. The increased longevity of S. pandurus was associated with prolonged rate of sexual maturation and low mean daily fecundity and that the life span increased during the cold months of the year and decreased during the hot summer and the males lived longer than females. The morphological descriptions of the adult and immature stages of S. pandurus were agreed with the taxonomic illustrations. Key words: Milkweed bug; Biology; development; morphology. Introduction The milkweed bug Spilostethus pandurus, occurs throughout Egypt all the year round (Priesner and Alfieri, 1953). The Hemipteran bugs have long been established in Egypt as one of the serious pests infesting the seeds of great number of plants (Schaefer and Panizzi, 2000; Meguid et al., 2013). The milkweed bug S. pandurus is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas where at times it causes serious damage (Kugelberg, 1973a).Their economic importance has been steadily increased in recent years, and the annual losses due to their ravages against vegetables and other crops are sometimes great and immeasurable.

  • DAMAGE in SUNFLOWER FIELDS and in HYBRID MULTIPLICATION CAUSED by SPECIES of the Coleoptera (Anthiciadae) FAMILY
    HELIA, 26, Nr. 39, p.p. 101-108, (2003) UDC 633.854.78:632.03 DAMAGE IN SUNFLOWER FIELDS AND IN HYBRID MULTIPLICATION CAUSED BY SPECIES OF THE Coleoptera (Anthiciadae) FAMILY Zoltán Horváth1*, Attila Hatvani1, Dragan Škorić2 1Faculty of Horticulture, Kecskemét College, 6000 Kecskemét Erdei F tér 3, Hungary 2Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, Oil Crops Department, M. Gorkog 30, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia and Montenegro Received: November 12, 2003 Accepted: December 12, 2003 SUMMARY Maturation feeding habits of tiny beetles (4-6 mm) on sunflower heads have been observed in comparative studies involving different sunflower varie- ties in industrial scale sunflower fields in 1994. When determining these bee- tles, it has been established that they belong to the species of the group (Coleoptera, Heteromera) to the family of Coleoptera, Anthicidae, and to the two genera Notoxus and Formicomus. Formicomus pedestris ROSSI., Notoxus brachycerus FALD., Notoxus appendicinus DESBR. were the most frequent species, as contrary to the bee- tle population observed in maize fields where the dominant species were Noto- xus brachycerus FALD. and Notoxus appendicinus DESBR. Formicomus pedestris ROSSI. had “only” the third place in terms of population density. Each of the three species starts its maturation feeding on sunflower heads at the end of July or at the beginning of August. At first, the beetles consume pollen and later on they hollow out the seeds. It happens that as many as 15-20 beetles are seen feeding on a single flower head. Based on literature data, mass appearance of the beetles of the Coleop- tera, (Anthiciadae) species is expected on cadavers of Meloe species (Meloe proscarabeus L., Meloe violaceus MRSH, Meloe variegatus DON.) and of Mel- oidae species (Coleoptera, Meloiade), for example Cerocoma schaefferi L., Lytta vesicatoria L.

  • News on True Bugs of Serra De Collserola Natural Park (Ne Iberian Peninsula) and Their Potential Use in Environmental Education (Insecta, Heteroptera)
    Boletín de la Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa (S.E.A.), nº 52 (30/6/2013): 244–248. NEWS ON TRUE BUGS OF SERRA DE COLLSEROLA NATURAL PARK (NE IBERIAN PENINSULA) AND THEIR POTENTIAL USE IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION (INSECTA, HETEROPTERA) Víctor Osorio1, Marcos Roca-Cusachs2 & Marta Goula3 1 Mestre Lluís Millet, 92, Bxos., 3a; 08830 Sant Boi de Llobregat; Barcelona, Spain – [email protected] 2 Plaça Emili Mira i López, 3, Bxos.; 08022 Barcelona, Spain – [email protected] 3 Departament de Biologia Animal and Institut de Recerca de la Biodiversitat (IRBio), Facultat de Biologia, Universitat de Barcelona (UB), Avda. Diagonal 645, 08028 Barcelona, Spain – [email protected] Abstract: A checklist of 43 Heteropteran species collected in the area of influence of Can Coll School of Nature is given. By its rarity in the Catalan fauna, the mirid Deraeocoris (D.) schach (Fabricius, 1781) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (N.) maculatus Fieber, 1851 are interesting species. Plus being rare species, the mirid Macrotylus (A.) solitarius (Meyer-Dür, 1843) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (S.) umbrinus (Wolff, 1804) are new records for the Natural Park. The mirids Alloetomus germanicus Wagner, 1939 and Amblytylus brevicollis Fieber, 1858, and the pentatomid Eysarcoris aeneus (Scopoli, 1763) are new contributions for the Park checklist. The Heteropteran richness of Can Coll suggests them as study group for the environmental education goals of this School of Nature. Key words: Heteroptera, faunistics, new records, environmental education, Serra de Collserola, Catalonia, Iberian Peninsula. Nuevos datos sobre chinches del Parque Natural de la Serra de Collserola (noreste de la península Ibérica) y su uso potencial en educación ambiental (Insecta, Heteroptera) Resumen: Se presenta un listado de 43 especies de heterópteros recolectados dentro del área de influencia de la Escuela de Naturaleza de Can Coll.

CH1NA 1 During the Field Museum Anthropological Expedition to the Near East in 1934, the leader, Dr. Henry Field, and his collaborators obtained a large amount of zoological material. Later, more speci­ mens were acquired by Dr. Field's collector, Yusuf Lazar, in Iraq. From Mr. H. St. J. Philby, in Mecca, Arabia, Field Museum also received, as a much appreciated gift, various zoological specimens from Arabia. Among the insects obtained as indicated were some interesting Hemiptera, which I am recording at the request of the Director of Field Museum and by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum (Natural History). A cicada, Melampsalta fraseri, from Iraq, and a genus and species of fulgorid, Philbyella arabica, from Arabia, proved to be new and are, therefore, described. Wherever possible, the spelfing of the locality names conforms to that adopted by the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names of the Royal Geographical Society, London.
