Notulae 9-5 Inhalt-Fin.Indd 204 Interspecific hybrid between Paracercion sieboldii and P. mela no­ tum from Japan (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) Genta Okude1,2 & Ryo Futahashi2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan; [email protected] 2 Bioproduction Research Institute, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Tsukuba, Japan; [email protected] Abstract. Interspecific hybrids have been occasionally found in the field. Here were describe a male of the interspecific hybrid betweenParacercion sieboldii and P. melanotum with inter- mediate phenotypes between the two parent species from Japan. Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analyses indicated that this individual was derived from interspecific mating between a female P. sieboldii and a male P. melanotum. To our knowledge, this is the only report of the hybrid between these two species. Further key words. Damselfly, Zygoptera, hybridisation, heterospecific matings Introduction Interspecific hybrids of Odonata have been occasionally found (Asahina 1974; Tennessen 1982; Corbet 1999; Sánchez-Guillén et al. 2014; Futahashi et al. 2018). Hybrid individuals can be identified by analysing nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, whereas it is often difficult to judge if they are hybrids between closely related species only by their morphological characteristics (Futahashi & Hayashi 2004; Futahashi et al. 2018). Here we describe a male representing an interspecific hy- brid of Paracercion sieboldii and P. melanotum. To our knowledge, this is the only report of a hybrid between these two species. Including this individual, 21 combi- nations of Odonata hybrids have been discovered so far in Japan. Materials and Methods The following specimens were studied: Paracercion sieboldii 4♂1♀, Ami, Ibaraki, Japan, 31-v-2017; leg. RF. P. melanotum 3♂2♀, Ami, Ibaraki, Japan, 08-ix-2017; leg. RF. Hybrid 1♂, Ami, Ibaraki, Japan, 19-v-2017; leg. GO. We extracted DNA from two legs of each insect using a Maxwell 16 LEV Blood DNA kit (Promega). Nuclear ITS2 region was PCR-amplified from the DNA sam- ples using the primers 5.8S-S1 (5’-CGG TGG ATC ACT CGG CTC GT-3’) and 28S- AS1 (5’-TTT CAC TCG CCG TTA CTA AGG GAA TC-3’), whereas mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene was amplified using the primers 16S-F0 (5’-TTA AAC CGG TYT GAA CTC AGA TC-3’) and 16S-R1 (5’-CGC CTG TTT ATC AAA AAC AT-3’) (Futahashi et al. 2018). PCR-amplified products were subjected to DNA sequenc- Notulae odonatologicae 9(5) 2020: 173-228204-208 – DOI:10.5281/zenodo.3823261 205 ing using BigDye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit (Applied Biosystems) and 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems). The sequence data of P. sieboldii and P. melanotum were deposited in DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases (accession numbers are LC365694-LC365747). Full views of a hybrid adult were taken using a CCD scanner GT-X830 (Epson), and magnified views of adults were taken using a stereoscopic microscope S8APO (Leica Microsystems) with a digital high definition microscope camera MC120HD (Leica). Results Subsequent DNA analyses confirmed that the nuclear DNA sequence was derived from both Paracercion sieboldii and P. melanotum (Fig. 1, left column), whereas ma- ternally inherited mitochondrial DNA sequence was identical to that of P. sieboldii (Fig. 1, right column), indicating that this individual resulted from an interspecific mating between a female P. sieboldii and a male P. melanotum. Full views of the hybrid adult are shown in Fig. 2A. Discussion Paracercion sieboldii and P. melanotum are widely distributed in Japan, and the ex- ternal characteristics of males are very similar. The males of both species can be dis- tinguished based on the marking pattern of the head, the colour of the compound eyes, and the shape of the caudal appendages (Ozono et al. 2017). A crescent- shaped spot appears on dorsum of antefrons in P. melanotum (Fig. 2B, red arrow- head), but not in P. sieboldii. The post-ocular spots are large and pear-like in P. sie­ boldii but small and elongated in P. melanotum (Fig. 2B, blue arrowhead). Therefore, Fig. 1.

The colour of the compound eyes is greenish in P. sieboldii and bluish in P. melanotum. In the hybrid, the colour of the compound eyes was similar to that of P. sieboldii (Fig. 2B). The length of the inferior appendages is longer than superior appendages in male P. sieboldii (Fig. 2C, arrowhead), while they are almost the same in male P. melanotum. In the hybrid, the length of inferior appendages was slightly longer than the superior appendages (Fig. 2C). Fig. 2. Male of the interspecific hybrid between Paracercion sieboldii and P. melanotum.

The hy- brid had obvious black spots on abdominal segment 8, reminiscent of P. sieboldii (Fig. 2C). Overall, the hybrid mostly showed a phenotype intermediate between the two parent species. Including the individual in this study, DNA analyses have confirmed 21 combi- nations of hybrids among 203 Odonata species in Japan (Table 1, Futahashi et al. 2018). Although only one hybrid between P. sieboldii and P. melanotum has been discovered so far, additional individuals may be found by careful examination of specimens, because it is possible to identify hybrids based on their external charac- teristics. Moreover, since it is possible to analyse DNA even in individuals collected more than 50 years ago (Okude et al. 2018), further discoveries will be made by examining specimens in historic collections.

  • The Mitochondrial Genomes of Palaeopteran Insects and Insights
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The mitochondrial genomes of palaeopteran insects and insights into the early insect relationships Nan Song1*, Xinxin Li1, Xinming Yin1, Xinghao Li1, Jian Yin2 & Pengliang Pan2 Phylogenetic relationships of basal insects remain a matter of discussion. In particular, the relationships among Ephemeroptera, Odonata and Neoptera are the focus of debate. In this study, we used a next-generation sequencing approach to reconstruct new mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from 18 species of basal insects, including six representatives of Ephemeroptera and 11 of Odonata, plus one species belonging to Zygentoma. We then compared the structures of the newly sequenced mitogenomes. A tRNA gene cluster of IMQM was found in three ephemeropteran species, which may serve as a potential synapomorphy for the family Heptageniidae. Combined with published insect mitogenome sequences, we constructed a data matrix with all 37 mitochondrial genes of 85 taxa, which had a sampling concentrating on the palaeopteran lineages. Phylogenetic analyses were performed based on various data coding schemes, using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inferences under diferent models of sequence evolution. Our results generally recovered Zygentoma as a monophyletic group, which formed a sister group to Pterygota. This confrmed the relatively primitive position of Zygentoma to Ephemeroptera, Odonata and Neoptera. Analyses using site-heterogeneous CAT-GTR model strongly supported the Palaeoptera clade, with the monophyletic Ephemeroptera being sister to the monophyletic Odonata. In addition, a sister group relationship between Palaeoptera and Neoptera was supported by the current mitogenomic data. Te acquisition of wings and of ability of fight contribute to the success of insects in the planet.

  • The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: Taxonomy and Distribution. Progress Report for 2009 Surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D
    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 26 (2010): 1-36 1 The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: taxonomy and distribution. Progress Report for 2009 surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D student at the Department of Entomology, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China. Email: [email protected] Introduction Three families in the superfamily Calopterygoidea occur in China, viz. the Calo- pterygidae, Chlorocyphidae and Euphaeidae. They include numerous species that are distributed widely across South China, mainly in streams and upland running waters at moderate altitudes. To date, our knowledge of Chinese spe- cies has remained inadequate: the taxonomy of some genera is unresolved and no attempt has been made to map the distribution of the various species and genera. This project is therefore aimed at providing taxonomic (including on larval morphology), biological, and distributional information on the super- family in South China. In 2009, two series of surveys were conducted to Southwest China-Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces. The two provinces are characterized by karst limestone arranged in steep hills and intermontane basins. The climate is warm and the weather is frequently cloudy and rainy all year. This area is usually regarded as one of biodiversity “hotspot” in China (Xu & Wilkes, 2004). Many interesting species are recorded, the checklist and photos of these sur- veys are reported here. And the progress of the research on the superfamily Calopterygoidea is appended. Methods Odonata were recorded by the specimens collected and identified from pho- tographs. The working team includes only four people, the surveys to South- west China were completed by the author and the photographer, Mr.

    Odonatologica33(4): 361-370 December 1, 2004 Distinguishing betweentheEast-Asiatic representatives of Paracercion Weekers & Dumont (Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae) H.J. Dumont Institute ofAnimal Ecology, University ofGent, Ledeganckstraat35, B-9000 Gent, Belgium Received September 14, 2003 /Reviewed andAccepted January 8, 2004 in and Eight species occurring Japan continental East Asia are separated by the mor- phologyof their 6 terminalia and by the structure ofthe 5 pronotum and adjacent laminae mesostigmales. Paracercion barbatum is confirmed as a good species, probably restricted to China, where it co-occurs with P. impar and other spp. The continental East Asian P. v-nigrum is suggested to share a commonancestor with the Japanese P. sieboldii. On choro- latter should exist Taiwan. Both ofall logical grounds, the not in sexes spp. are keyed. INTRODUCTION WEEKERS & DUMONT (2004) confirmed the claim by HEIDEMANN & SEI- DENBUSCH (1993) that Cercion lindenii(Selys, 1840) belongs in Erythromma. Be- cause lindenii is the type species of Cercion, and because a molecularstudy showed it to be monotypic, they proposed the name Paracercion as a substitute for its “eastern species. Eight Paracercion species occur in what is essentially palaearctic East Asia. Five of these were examinedby molecularmethods (the rDNA operon) and found to form a monophyletic groupwith large interspecies genetic distances, suggesting their considerable. age to be In examining their morphology, it was foundthat a numberof detailsof male struc- ture had previously been overlooked or wrongly represented, and that structural fea- tures of females had hardly ever been used. In contrast, colourpatterns have been well described in either original descriptions or later faunal handbooks, and need not be re- offer of peated.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.
