  • Thysanoptera (Insecta) of Barrow Island, Western Australia
    RECORDS OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 83 287–290 (2013) SUPPLEMENT Thysanoptera (Insecta) of Barrow Island, Western Australia Laurence A. Mound CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – Almost 50 species of the insect order Thysanoptera are here listed from Barrow Island, Western Australia, of which several are known only from this island. This cannot be interpreted as indicating that any species is endemic to the island, because almost nothing is known of the Thysanoptera fauna of the nearby mainland. KEYWORDS: Thysanoptera, thrips, Barrow Island INTRODUCTION taxa that have been recognised from the available samples. The Australian fauna of the insect order Thysanoptera is far from exhaustively known. Within the order Thysanoptera, two suborders The number of correctly identified species from are recognised, both of which are well represented this continent was less than 20 in 1915, about 225 on Barrow Island. The Tubulifera comprises in 1960, and almost 400 by 1995. However, even a single family, Phlaeothripidae, whereas the Terebrantia includes five families in Australia the total of 830 species now listed (ABRS 2012) (Mound et al. 2012), of which three were found in seems likely to represent little more than 50% of the Barrow Island samples.

Learn to SCREEN samples for these species in the stage most likely to be seen by diagnostic labs using the MAJOR characters. Some species are only defined by a combination of features.

  • Insect Survey of Four Longleaf Pine Preserves
    A SURVEY OF THE MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES, AND GRASSHOPPERS OF FOUR NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Stephen P. Hall and Dale F. Schweitzer November 15, 1993 ABSTRACT Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families. Forty-one of these we consider to be distinctive of the two fire- maintained communities principally under investigation, the longleaf pine savannas and flatwoods. An additional 14 species we consider distinctive of the pocosins that occur in close association with the savannas and flatwoods. Twenty nine species appear to be rare enough to be included on the list of elements monitored by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (eight others in this category have been reported from one of these sites, the Green Swamp, but were not observed in this study). Two of the moths collected, Spartiniphaga carterae and Agrotis buchholzi, are currently candidates for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered species. Another species, Hemipachnobia s. subporphyrea, appears to be endemic to North Carolina and should also be considered for federal candidate status. With few exceptions, even the species that seem to be most closely associated with savannas and flatwoods show few direct defenses against fire, the primary force responsible for maintaining these communities. Instead, the majority of these insects probably survive within this region due to their ability to rapidly re-colonize recently burned areas from small, well-dispersed refugia.

  • Ichneumon Sub-Families This Page Describes the Different Sub-Families of the Ichneumonidae
    Ichneumon Sub-families This page describes the different sub-families of the Ichneumonidae. Their ecology and life histories are summarised, with references to more detailed articles or books. Yorkshire species from each group can be found in the Yorkshire checklist. An asterix indicates that a foreign-language key has been translated into English. One method by which the caterpillars of moths and sawflies which are the hosts of these insects attempt to prevent parasitism is for them to hide under leaves during the day and emerge to feed at night. A number of ichneumonoids, spread through several subfamilies of both ichneumons and braconids, exploit this resource by hunting at night. Most ichneumonoids are blackish, which makes them less obvious to predators, but colour is not important in the dark and many of these nocturnal ones have lost the melanin that provides the dark colour, so they are pale orange. They have often developed the large-eyed, yellowish-orange appearance typical of these nocturnal hunters and individuals are often attracted to light. This key to British species is a draft: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/resources-rx/files/keys-for-nocturnal-workshop-reduced-109651.pdf Subfamily Pimplinae. The insects in this subfamily are all elongate and range from robust, heavily- sculptured ichneumons to slender, smooth-bodied ones. Many of them have the 'normal' parasitoid life-cycle (eggs laid in or on the host larvae, feeding on the hosts' fat bodies until they are full- grown and then killing and consuming the hosts) but there are also some variations within this subfamily.
