Taxonomy of Iberian Anisolabididae (Dermaptera)
Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 63(1), pp. 29–43, 2017 DOI: 10.17109/AZH.63.1.29.2017 TAXONOMY OF IBERIAN ANISOLABIDIDAE (DERMAPTERA) Mario García-París Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, MNCN-CSIC c/José Gutiérrez Abascal, 2, 28006, Madrid. Spain. E-mail: [email protected] An update on the taxonomy and geographic distribution of Iberian Anisolabididae (Der- maptera) is provided. Former catalogues reported in the Iberian Peninsula three genera of Anisolabididae: Aborolabis, Anisolabis, and Euborellia. A revision of 487 specimens of Iberian and North African Anisolabidoidea permit to exclude the genus Aborolabis from the Iberian fauna, the re-assignation of inland Euborellia annulipes Iberian records to Euborellia moesta, and the exclusion of Aborolabis angulifera from Northwestern Africa. Examination of type materials of Aborolabis mordax and Aborolabis cerrobarjai allows to propose the treatment of A. cerrobarjai as a junior synonym of A. mordax. The diagnostic characters of Euborellia his- panica are included within the local variability found in E. moesta. I propose that E. hispanica should be treated as a junior synonym of E. moesta. Key words: earwigs, systematics, Mediterranean region, Spain, Morocco, NW Africa. INTRODUCTION The Iberian fauna of Dermaptera, including Anisolabididae Verhoeff, 1902, has been the subject of diverse revisionary (Bolívar 1876, 1897, Lapeira & Pascual 1980, Herrera Mesa 1980, Bivar de Sousa 1997) and compilatory works (Herrera Mesa 1999). These revisions together with the monograph of the Fauna of France (Albouy & Caussanel 1990) and the on-line information included in Fauna Europaea (Haas 2010), rendered the image of Dermaptera as a well known group in continental western Europe. -

ZooKeys 713: 25–52. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.713.15118 Abstract Based on samples collected during surveys of Brazilian cave fauna, seven earwig species are reported: Cy- lindrogaster cavernicola Kamimura, sp. n., Cylindrogaster sp. 1, Cylindrogaster sp. 2, Euborellia janeirensis, Euborellia brasiliensis, Paralabellula dorsalis, and Doru luteipes, as well as four species identified to the (sub) family level. To date, C. cavernicola Kamimura, sp. n. has been recorded only from cave habitats (but near entrances), whereas the other four organisms identified at the species level have also been recorded from non-cave habitats. Wings and female genital structures of Cylindrogaster spp. (Cylindrogastrinae) are examined for the first time. The genital traits, including the gonapophyses of the 8th abdominal segment shorter than those of the 9th segement, and venation of the hind wings of Cylindrogastrinae correspond to those of the members of Diplatyidae and not to Pygidicranidae. -

This is even more that trigger migration, the adaptive advantages gained by the surprising when you consider that dragonfly migration occurs on subset of odonate species that migrate, reproductive activity of every continent except Antarctica. When people think of insect migration, the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a familiar figure, but the Wandering Glider (Pantala flavescens), a widely distributed species also known as a regular mi- grant in North America, can travel 11,000 miles (17,700 km) across the Indian Ocean from Africa to India and back—more than twice the distance of the Monarch’s well-known annual journey. Only about 16 of our 326 dragonfly species in North America are regular migrants, with some making annual seasonal flights while others are more sporadic. The major migratory species in North America are Common Green Darner (Anax junius), Wandering Glider (Pantala flave- scens), Spot-winged Glider (P. hymenaea), Black Saddlebags (Tramea lacerata), and Variegated Meadowhawk (Sympetrum corruptum). Different species tend to dominate migration flights in different parts of the continent. Anax junius is our best-known migrant, moving in Common Green Darner (Anax junius) at North Bend, Coos County, Oregon. -
