ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11 99i Preface Medicinal and aromatic plants are used by both modern medicines and also by Indian System of Medicine (Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homeopathy) in large volume. A large volume is also consumed by several traditions of tribal medicines and folk healers in India as well as other developing world. Since the bulk of the raw material is collected from the wild, the growing market demand should be taken as an opportunity and should explore the potential of the medicinal and aromatic plants for their sustainable socio-economic development. There is a strong link between sustainable utilization of the medicinal and aromatic

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

HOARE, MARIE-CLAUDE LARIVIÈRE, PENELOPE GREENSLADE, ROSA C. HENDERSON, COURTenaY N. SMITHERS, RicarDO L. PALMA, JOHN B. WARD, ROBERT L. C. PILGRIM, DaVID R. TOWNS, IAN McLELLAN, DAVID A. J.

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).

The classifi cation of the superfamily Psylloidea is revised to incorporate fi ndings from recent molecular studies, and to integrate a reassessment of monophyla primarily based on molecular data with morphological evidence and previous classifi cations. We incorporate a reinterpretation of relevant morphology in the light of the molecular fi ndings and discuss confl icts with respect to different data sources and sampling strategies. Seven families are recognised of which four (Calophyidae, Carsidaridae, Mastigimatidae and Triozidae) are strongly supported, and three (Aphalaridae, Liviidae and Psyllidae) weakly or moderately supported.
