Sibbald Point Provincial Park SIBBALD POINT PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Sibbald Point Provincial Park in 2014 (44.32982, -79.32737, 233m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from May 1 – September 22, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed using the bulk sample analysis protocol. A total of 1691 BINs were obtained. Over half the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), beetles (Coleoptera), and moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera; Figure 2). In total, 399 arthropod species were named, representing 26.9% of the BINs from the site (Appendix 1). All the BINs were assigned at least to family, and 60.6% were assigned to a genus Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Sibbald Point (Appendix 2). Specimens collected from Sibbald Point Provincial Park in 2014. represent 160 different families and 473 genera. Figure 2.

Entomol. 54, 75-80. This contribution deals with additions and corrections to the list of Norwegian Coleoptera. The following three species are reported for the fi rst time from Norway: Nicrophorus interruptus Stephens, 1830 (Silphidae), Triphyllus bicolor (Fabricius, 1777) (Mycetophagidae) and Mordellaria aurofasciata (Comolli, 1837) (Mordellidae). Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant, 1853 (Coccinellidae) is reported for the fi rst time outside a greenhouse in Norway. This species is frequently used for biological control of mealy-bugs in greenhouses. Scymnus ater Kugelan, 1794 (Coccinellidae) is removed from the Norwegian list. The previous report of this species was based on a misidentifi cation. Key words: Coleoptera, Nicrophorus interruptus, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, Mordellaria auro- fasciata, Triphyllus bicolor, Scymnus ater, Silphidae, Mordellidae, Mycetophagidae, Coccinellidae.

    PAEDOGENESIS in ERISTALIS ARBUSTORUM Bart Achterkamp, under supervision of dr. Mart M. Ottenheim, dr. Leo W. Beukeboom and prof.dr. Paul M. Brakefield Section Evolutionary Biology and Section Animal Ecology, Institute of Evolutionary and Ecological Sciences Leiden University M. Sc. Thesis 1999 PAEDOGENESIS in Eristalis arbustorum (Diptera: Syrphidae) Sum mary Paedogenesisis the reproduction by larvae or juveniles. In insects this form of reproduction is known from one beetle, several species of gall midges and possibly Erisalishoverfiies.This study aims to show paedogenesis forE. arbuslorum under controlled conditions. The first two experiments were unsuccessful. In the third experiment, a total of 1266 larvae were reared and five occasions of paedogenesis were recorded among 542 successful pupations. In all cases of paedogenesis, one larva was put in the container and two larvae or pupae were collected later. The life history consequences of this way of reproduction are discussed.

Abstract: A three-year survey of Wisconsin Mordellidae (Coleoptera) encompassing a compilation of data from literature records and local collections as well as field work including trapping, hand-collecting, and rearing yielded 68 species comprising 14 genera in three tribes. Sixty-three species (92% of Wisconsin fauna) represent new state species records, not previously recorded from the state in the literature. Plant-associations and state- specific temporal and spatial distribution data for larvae and adults are noted as available. Distributional records suggest 16 additional species and one additional genus are likely to occur in Wisconsin.

Insects have several genes coding for insulin-like peptides and they have been 18 particularly well studied in Drosophila. Some of these hormones function as growth hormones 19 and are produced by the fat body and the brain. These act through a typical insulin receptor 20 tyrosine kinase. Two other Drosophila insulin-like hormones are either known or suspected to act 21 through a G-protein coupled receptor. Although insulin-related peptides are known from other 22 insect species, Drosophila insulin-like peptide 8, one that uses a G-protein coupled receptor, has 23 so far only been identified from Drosophila and other flies. However, its receptor is widespread 24 within arthropods and hence it should have orthologs. Such putative orthologs were recently 25 identified in decapods and have been called gonadulins.

  • Hoverfly Newsletter 36
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 36 NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2003 ISSN 1358-5029 This edition is being produced in the wake of the second international symposium which was held in Alicante in June. Alan Stubbs has commented below that Spain was, as expected, too dry in mid-June for many hoverflies to be found. It seems to me that the same comment is true for Britain for much of the present season; although I have had a few productive days this year, on the majority of occasions when I have been in the field hoverfly numbers have proved to be sparse as a result of the hot and very dry conditions. The growth of interest on the subject however continues unabated, as anyone who subscribes to the UK hoverfly email exchange group will testify. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 37 (which is expected to be issued in February 2004) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, Email address [email protected], to reach me by 20 December.

  • A Faunal Survey of the Elateroidea of Montana by Catherine Elaine
    A faunal survey of the elateroidea of Montana by Catherine Elaine Seibert A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology Montana State University © Copyright by Catherine Elaine Seibert (1993) Abstract: The beetle family Elateridae is a large and taxonomically difficult group of insects that includes many economically important species of cultivated crops. Elaterid larvae, or wireworms, have a history of damaging small grains in Montana. Although chemical seed treatments have controlled wireworm damage since the early 1950's, it is- highly probable that their availability will become limited, if not completely unavailable, in the near future. In that event, information about Montana's elaterid fauna, particularity which species are present and where, will be necessary for renewed research efforts directed at wireworm management. A faunal survey of the superfamily Elateroidea, including the Elateridae and three closely related families, was undertaken to determine the species composition and distribution in Montana. Because elateroid larvae are difficult to collect and identify, the survey concentrated exclusively on adult beetles. This effort involved both the collection of Montana elateroids from the field and extensive borrowing of the same from museum sources. Results from the survey identified one artematopid, 152 elaterid, six throscid, and seven eucnemid species from Montana. County distributions for each species were mapped. In addition, dichotomous keys, and taxonomic and biological information, were compiled for various taxa. Species of potential economic importance were also noted, along with their host plants. Although the knowledge of the superfamily' has been improved significantly, it is not complete.

Keywords Checklist, Finland, Diptera, Anthomyiidae Introduction The family Anthomyiidae is a large and taxonomically difficult group of flies that has for the same reason suffered from unstable taxonomy and nomenclature. A checklist of the anthomyiid species known from pre-war Finland was compiled by their leading regional specialist of calyptrate flies Lauri Tiensuu (1906−1980) and published in Frey et al. (1941). The Anthomyiidae were then not recognized as a separate family but combined with the fanniid and true muscid flies in a comprehensive Muscidae fam- ily equivalent of the present Muscoidea less Scathophagidae. Tiensuu’s list included confirmed records of 199 anthomyiid species classified in 41 genera and subgenera. No less than 34% of the species names and 58% of the genus-group names in that list are Copyright Verner Michelsen.

Distribution patterns of several insects associated with dead wood indicate that they are weak dispersers (Økland 1994; Nilsson & Baranowski 1997; Ranius 2000; Siitonen & Saaristo 2000), but few studies have directly assessed the dispersal ability of these species (but see Ranius & Hedin 2001). This thesis is based on investigations in which key features of the dispersal biology of wood-living insects were studied and related to spatial distribution patterns of these species observed in the field. Insect movement by flight Insect movements by flight can be divided into two types (vegetative and migratory) with distinct behavioural characteristics (Dingle 1996; Woiwod et al. 2001). Vegetative movements are essentially explorations for certain resources (e.g. food, shelter, mates, oviposition sites etc.), and are interrupted as soon as the targeted resources are encountered (Dingle 1996; Woiwod 2001).

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).

ZooKeys 22: 309–340. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.22.144 Abstract Even-age industrial forestry practices may alter communities of native species. Th us, identifying coarse patterns of species diversity in industrial forests and understanding how and why these patterns diff er from those in naturally disturbed forests can play an essential role in attempts to modify forestry practices to minimize their impacts on native species. Th is study compares diversity patterns of deadwood habitat structure and saproxylic beetle species in spruce forests with natural disturbance histories (wind and fi re) and human disturbance histories (clearcutting and clearcutting with thinning).

Japanese records of anthomyiid flies (Diptera: Anthomyiidae). Ins. matsum. n. s. 55: 203-244. Up to the present 216 species of Anthomyiidae belonging to 29 genera have been recorded from Japan. Of them 42 species (19.4 %) are resticted to Japan in their known distribution. For future discussion on the biogeography, all the known species of the family from Japan are enumerated together with their localities including newly added ones if present. Each species is given the reference which recorded the species for the first time in Japan. New host records or additional information on their biology is given for some species. Author saddress.
