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). -

Munis Entomology & Zoology, 5 (2): 753-757] ABSTRACT: In a faunistic survey on curculionidae inhabiting sugar beet fields in the main sugar beet growing areas of Iran, the province of Razavi Khorasan, 17 curculionid species belonging to 3 subfamilies and 4 tribes were identified. 14 of which are first records for the study area, including 10 new for Iran. This brings the total number of weevils fauna of sugar beet recorded from Iran to 49 species. Clearly, more species are to be expected after more intensively collecting. KEY WORDS: Faunistic records, Beet crop, Snout beetle, Razavi Khorasan, Iran. Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is one of the most important sucrose-producing crops in temperate regions. Over 35% of the world’s sugar is produced by sugar beet in around 8 million hectares of land. In Iran, nearly 70 % of the sugar consumed derived from sugar beet that is cultivated on about 160,000 ha in 21of the 30 provinces of Iran. The province of Razavi Khorasan, with it's about 55,000 ha ranks the first in sugar beet acreage and production in Iran. -

Twenty-three species documented from the parkway are first records for the state. Of the nine capture methods used during the survey, Malaise traps were the most successful. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Sixteen species adventive to North America are documented from the parkway, including three species documented for the first time in the state. Range extensions are documented for two species. Images of five species new to Virginia are provided. Keywords: beetles, biodiversity, Malaise traps, national parks, new state records, Potomac Gorge. INTRODUCTION This study provides a preliminary list of the weevils of the superfamily Curculionoidea within the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) national park site in northern Virginia. -

Mature larvae and pupae of Coniocleonus (Plagiographus) nigrosutura- tus (Goeze, 1777) (Curculionidae: Lixinae: Cleonini) are described and compared with three other cleonine taxa with known larvae. The biology of the species was studied in Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. Common Stork’s-bill (Erodium cicu- tarium) (Geraniaceae) is identi¿ ed as a host plant of both larvae and adults of this weevil. The weevil is very likely monophagous, and previous records of thyme (Thymus sp., Lamiaceae) as the host plant hence appear incorrect. Coniocleonus nigrosuturatus prefers dry, sunny places in grassland habitats, with sparse vegeta- tion, bare ground and patchily growing host plants. Overwintering beetles emerge in early spring (March), feed and mate on the host plants. The highest activity of adults was observed from mid-April to mid-May. -
