  • (Heteroptera: Miridae) A
    251 CHROMOSOME NUMBERS OF SOME NORTH AMERICAN MIRIDS (HETEROPTERA: MIRIDAE) A. E. AKINGBOHUNGBE Department of Plant Science University of Ife lie-Ife, Nigeria Data are presented on the chromosome numbers (2n) of some eighty species of Miridae. The new information is combined with existing data on some Palearctic and Ethiopian species and discussed. From it, it is suggested that continued reference to 2n - 32A + X + Y as basic mirid karyotype should be avoided and that contrary to earlier suggestions, agmatoploidy rather than poly- ploidy is a more probable mechanism of numerical chromosomal change. Introduction Leston (1957) and Southwood and Leston (1959) gave an account of the available information on chromosome numbers in the Miridae. These works pro- vided the first indication that the subfamilies may show some modalities that might be useful in phylogenetic analysis in the family. Kumar (1971) also gave an ac- count of the karyotype in some six West African cocoa bryocorines. In the present paper, data will be provided on 80 North American mirids, raising to about 131, the number of mirids for which the chromosome numbers are known. Materials and Methods Adult males were collected during the summer of 1970-1972 in Wisconsin and dissected soon after in 0.6% saline solution. The dissected testes were preserved in 3 parts isopropanol: 1 part glacial acetic acid and stored in a referigerator until ready for squashing. Testis squashes were made using Belling's iron-acetocarmine tech- nique as reviewed by Smith (1943) and slides were ringed with either Bennett's zut or Sanford's rubber cement.

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.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES FOURTH SERIES Vol. XXXVI, No. 7, pp. 147-219; 56 figs. September 30, 1968 MIRIDAE OF THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS (HETEROPTERA) By Jose C. M. Carvalho1 Museo Nacional, Rio de Janeiro and W. C. Gagne University of California, Berkeley INTRODUCTION This paper is based on collections of leaf bugs assembled in 1964 by the ex- pedition of the University of California-Galapagos International Scientific Project. The types are deposited in the collections of the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco. Some paratypes are retained in the collections of R. L. Usinger and WV. C. Gagne, both of the University of California, Berkeley, and of J. C. M. Carvalho. The original manuscript was prepared by J. C. M. Carvalho on the basis of material sent in 1965. After the manuscript and the specimens were returned from Rio de Janeiro, additional specimens were discovered in the unmounted material from the same expedition, in the California Academy of Sciences. Amongst this material were nine additional new species, the previously unknown females of three species described by Carvalho, and additional distribution records of almost every other species. All of these have been incorporated into the manuscript by Gagne and are so indicated or noted as "Additional specimens." The new material is the sole responsibility of Gagne, though it was added with the consent of Carvalho. Gagne also had the opportunity to examine the Barber types formerly the property of the New York Zoological Society and now con- Fellow of the Brazilian National Research Council.

E-mail:[email protected] Abstract A list of type specimens of Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera) collected from North Korea (mostly by the late Dr. Michail Josifov, Sofia, Bulgaria) acquired earlier by E. Heiss, now donated to and deposited in the insect collections of Chungnam National University (CNU), Deajeon, Korea, is presented. A total of 31 holotypes and 694 paratypes of 41 species and 1 subspecies in 6 families and 9 subfamilies are presented: Miridae (Deraeocorinae, Mirinae, Orthotylinae, Phylinae), Tingi- dae (Tinginae), Piesmatidae (Piesmatinae), Berytidae (Metacanthinae), Cymidae (Cyminae), Pentatomidae (Asopinae). Key words: type specimens, North Korea, true bugs, CNU Introduction Because of the political post World-War-II situation, North Korea was inaccessable for scientists and citizens of Western oriented countries except for those then belonging to the so called “Communist Block”.

  • Urban Green Space Management for Invertebrates and House Sparrows
    Urban green space management for invertebrates and house sparrows Jacqueline Elizabeth Sarah Weir Imperial College London, Department of Ecology and Evolution A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2015 1 Declaration of Originality I declare that this thesis is my own work, other than where appropriately referenced.

Productivity can be increased by providing invertebrates (Peach, Sheehan & Kirby, 2014; Peach et al. in press). This study tested the effectiveness of three habitat treatments in increasing invertebrates and seeds in London parks, and their usage by house sparrows. Treatments were: annually sown ‘wildlife seed’ plots; sown perennial wildflower meadows; and existing grass grown taller. Treatment establishment and seed abundance were assessed by vegetation measurements, and practicality qualitatively assessed through questionnaires. Invertebrate abundance and variety were measured using sweep netting and vacuum sampling, and relationships tested with treatment type and modelled air pollution levels.
