O’Connor, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland Price €20 including packing and postage PREFACE This book deals with a great diversity of insect (sensu lato) groups. Those which are readily recognisable include the caddisflies (Trichoptera), cockroaches (Dictyoptera), dragonflies (Odonata), earwigs (Dermaptera), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), greenflies (Hemiptera), mayflies (Ephemeroptera) and shield bugs (Hemiptera) while others such as the proturans (Protura), psyllids (Hemiptera) and thrips (Thyansoptera) will be less familiar. Many of the included species are of economic importance. Altogether, information on 1684 species is included. Funded by The Irish Biogeographical Society, An annotated checklist of the Irish Hemiptera and small orders completes the basic check-listing of the Irish insects. The series consists of five publications, one published by the Irish Naturalists’ Journal. Three of the other works were published by The Irish Biogeographical Society in association with the National Museum of Ireland. The latter generously provided funding for their printing. On behalf of the Society, I wish therefore to thank Dr Pat Wallace (former Director), Mr Raghnall Ó Floinn (Head of Collections) and Mr Nigel Monaghan (Keeper of Natural History) for their past support. James P. O’Connor Editor The Irish Biogeographical Society 2 May 2012 While preparing this pdf of the original 2012 work, the opportunity has been taken to correct some minor errata, to reorganize the references and add some new ones. Since 2012, major works have appeared on the caddisflies, stoneflies and thrips and these are mentioned. James P. O’Connor Editor 6 January 2019 DEDICATION This volume is dedicated to the memory of Dr Courtenay Neville Smithers (1925-2011) in recognition of his important research work on the Irish Psocoptera, a group which includes the booklice and barklice.

  • A Reclassification of Siphlonuroidea (Ephemeroptera)
    MITTEILUNGEN DER SCHWEIZERISCHEN ENTOMOLOGISCHEN GESELLSCHAFT BULLETIN DE LA SOCIETE ENTOMOLOGIQUE SUISSE 68, 103 - 132, 1995 A reclassification of Siphlonuroidea (Ephemeroptera) N. J. KLUGE1, D. STUDEMANN2*, P. LANDOLT2* & T. GONSER3 'Department of Entomology, St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg 199034, Ru ssia 2Department of Entomology, Institute of Zoology, Perolles, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland 3Limnological Research Center, EA WAG, CH-6047 Kastani enbaum, Switzerland The superfamily Siphonuroidea is proposed, its phylogenetic position discussed and definitive char­ acteristics are presented for all the families contained. New characters of the thorax, the female gen­ italia, and the egg chorion are used. The Siphlonuroidea consist of a Northern Hemisphere group of families (Siphlonuridae s. str., Dipteromimidae, Ameletidae, Metretopodidae, Acanthametropodidae and Ametropodidae) and a Southern Hemisphere group of families (Oniscigastridae, Nesameletidae, Rallidentidae, and Ameletopsidae). The family Dipteromimidae and the subfamily Parameletinae are established. The synonymy of lsonychia polita and Acanthametropus nikolskyi is documented. Fossil Siphlonuroidea of uncertain family status are included. The rel ation ships between the families are di s­ cussed. Key words: eggs. Ephemeroptera, morphology, phylogeny, Siphlonuridae, Siphlonuroidea, systematics. INTRODUCTION The taxonomy and the phylogeny of Siphlonuroidea or Siphlonuridae sensu Lato are subject to different opinions. The authors that have worked on the rank and composition of this taxon (EDMUNDS, 1972; MCCAFFERTY & EDMUNDS, 1979; LANDA & SOLDAN, 1985; M CCAFFERTY, 1991; TOMKA & ELPERS, 1991; KLUGE, in press, and others) have used the taxon Siphlonuridae in different senses. These dif­ ferences are based on (1) the importance attached to adult versus larval characters, (2) the interpretation of characters as being synapomorphic or symplesiomorphic, (3) the paraphyletic nature of the group, and ( 4) inadequate diagnoses of many tax a.

Medler INTRODUCTION HIS bulletin attempts to present as accurate and complete a T guide to the leafhoppers of Minnesota as possible within the limits of the material available for study. It is realized that cer- tain groups could not be treated completely because of the lack of available material. Nevertheless, it is hoped that in its present form this treatise will serve as a convenient and useful manual for the systematic and economic worker concerned with the forms of the upper Mississippi Valley. In all cases a reference to the original description of the species and genus is given. Keys are included for the separation of species, genera, and supergeneric groups. In addition to the keys a brief diagnostic description of the important characters of each species is given. Extended descriptions or long lists of references have been omitted since citations to this literature are available from other sources if ac- tually needed (Van Duzee, 1917).

(3 text-figs., 27 pis.). The genus Chionaspis is revised, and a modified concept of the genus is proposed. Fifty-nine species are recognized as members of the genus. All these species are limited to the Northern Hemisphere: many of them are distributed in eastern Asia and North America, and much fewer ones in western Asia and the Mediterranean Region. In Eurasia most species have been recorded from particular plants and many are associated with Fagaceae, while in North America polyphagy is rather prevailing and the hosts are scattered over much more diverse plants. In the number and arrangement of the modified macroducts in the 2nd instar males many eastern Asian species are uniform, while North American species show diverse patterns.

    A THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Systematic review of subfamily Phylinae (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Korean Peninsula with molecular phylogeny of Miridae By Ram Keshari Duwal Program in Entomology Department of Agricultural Biotechnology Seoul National University February, 2013 Systematic review of subfamily Phylinae (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Korean Peninsula with molecular phylogeny of Miridae UNDER THE DIRECTION OF ADVISER SEUNGHWAN LEE SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSIITY By Ram Keshari Duwal Program in Entomology Department of Agricultural Biotechnology Seoul National University February, 2013 APRROVED AS A QUALIFIED DISSERTATION OF RAM KESHARI DUWAL FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS CHAIRMAN Si Hyeock Lee VICE CHAIRMAN Seunghwan Lee MEMBER Young-Joon Ahn MEMBER Yang-Seop Bae MEMBER Ki-Jeong Hong ABSTRACT Systematic review of subfamily Phylinae (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Korean Peninsula with molecular phylogeny of Miridae Ram Keshari Duwal Program of Entomology, Department of Agriculture Biotechnology The Graduate School Seoul National University The study conducted two themes: (1) The systematic review of subfamily Phylinae (Heteroptera: Miridae) in Korean Peninsula, with brief zoogeographic discussion in East Asia, and (2) Molecular phylogeny of Miridae: (i) Higher group relationships within family Miridae, and (ii) Phylogeny of subfamily Phylinae. In systematic review a total of eighty four species in twenty eight genera of Phylines are recognized from the Korean Peninsula. During this study, twenty new reports including six new species were investigated; and purposed a synonym and revised recombination. Keys to genera and species, diagnosis, descriptions including male and female genitalia, illustrations and short biological notes are provided for each of the species.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).
