  • Sound Production and Reception in Mangrove Crabs Perisesarma Spp

Y. Boon*, D. C. J. Yeo, P. A. Todd Department of Biological Sciences, Marine Biology Laboratory, National University of Singapore, 14 Science Drive 4, Blk S1, #02–05, Singapore, 117543 ABSTRACT: Acoustic signalling and sound production structures in the sesarmid crabs Perisesarma eumolpe (De Man) and P. indiarum (Tweedie) from Mandai mangroves, Singapore, were examined using 40 to 20 000 Hz sound recordings and scanning electron microscopy. The sound receptor, Barth’s myochordotonal organ, was identified in both species. Only male crabs were found to display acoustically, and only during agonistic interactions. The present study also revealed key species- specific differences in the morphology of the stridulatory organs, stridulatory movements and result- ing sounds produced. The findings show that acoustic signalling may be a significant component in the social behaviour of mangrove sesarmid crabs.

  • Two Aberrations of Callosamia Promethea (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)
    ©Entomologischer Verein Apollo e.V. Frankfurt am Main; download unter www.zobodat.at 323 Two Aberrations of Callosamia promethea (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) by Richard S. PEIGLER Zwei Aberrationen bei Callosamia promethea (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) Zusammenfassung: Die drei Arten der Gattung Callosamia leben im östlichen Nordamerika. In den letzten 25 Jahren wurden unter einigen hundert gefangenen oder gezüchteten Tieren nur zwei bemerkenswerte Aberrationen festgestellt, die hier beschrieben, abgebildet und mit Literaturmeldungen anderer derartiger Aberrationen verglichen werden. Beide Stücke sind im Naturhistorischen Museum in Denver de­ poniert. Es handelt sich erstens um einen unregelmäßigen Mosaikgynandromorphen von Callosamia promethea (Abb. 1), der aus Zuchtpuppen von Ada, Kent Co., Mi­ chigan, schlüpfte. Er zeigte in einer Nacht kein weibliches Paarungsverhalten; ein normales Weibchen zum Test in Gegenrichtung stand nicht zur Verfügung. Das zweite Tier ist ein Weibchen von Callosamia promethea (Abb. 2) aus Pine Grove, Schuylkill Co., Pennsylvania, mit praktisch symmetrischen Aussparungen in den Hinterflügeln. Solche Löcher in den Flügeln sind oftmals die Folge von Verlet­ zungen im Puppenstadium; jedoch könnten bei so dezidiert symmetrischer Ausbil­ dung auch andere Ursachen in Frage kommen. Introduction Moths of the genus Callosamia range in eastern North America. Over the past 25 years, I have collected or reared several hundred specimens of the three species, among which only two aberrations have been noted. This paper describes and figures these two specimens, and cites reports of similar specimens from earlier literature. Both specimens described below are in the Denver Museum of Natural History (see News of the Lepidopterists’ Society, January/February 1991, page 3). Gynandromorphs and sexual mosaics At least four gynandromorphs ofCallosamia promethea (DRURY) have been reported; one was given by HESSEL (1964), and SCHUSSLER (1934: 587) listed literature citations for the other three.

  • The Spinning Habits of North An{Rrican A,Ttaci
    THE CANAD1AN ENTONIOLOGIST. 133 THE SPINNING HABITS OF NORTH AN{RRICAN A,TTACI. BY F. M, WEBSTER, URBANA, ILL, 'I'he note in the Cawanr,tn ENronor,oGrsr for April r9o3, by the late Prof. A. R. Grote, the one by X{r. J. lVm. Cockle, in the X{ay number for tlte same year, and the one in the April r9o4, number, all relating to this subject, have interested me greatiy. Over z5 years ago I observed and recorded for the first, f believe, the destluction of the pupre of our very common Sttmia cecrl?ia by the Downy \Voodpecker, by puncturing the cocoons and feasting on the juices of the occupant. The habit of the insect in attaching its cocoon firmly to and parallel with the trvigs and srnaller limbs of trees places them at the rnercy of these birds, especially during that part of the year when the trees are devoid of foliage. It has seemed me that this habit of the bird has become more apparent during tl-ris time, but this may be on account of nry paying more attention to the matter, and thus having seen more of their work. f have been watching to see if the insect would gradually come to adopt a less dangerous cocooning habit, but up to the present time have not myself observed any notable variation from the old-time custom. In the case of TroPea /una, the problem appears to have been solved by the larvre cocooning on the ground among the fallen leaves, while Telea loly/henrus seems to have but partly arrived at a similar solution by largely cocooning on the ground, rvhile Callosamia promethea has entirely outgeneralled the woodpecker by sr'vinging her cocoon, enclosed also within a folded leaf, and attached to the twig or limb by a stout sill<en thong, which allows the whole structure to dangle some distance below the point to which it is thus anchored.
