A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015)
    Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015) By Richard Henderson Research Ecologist, WI DNR Bureau of Science Services Summary This is a preliminary list of insects that are either well known, or likely, to be closely associated with Wisconsin’s original native prairie. These species are mostly dependent upon remnants of original prairie, or plantings/restorations of prairie where their hosts have been re-established (see discussion below), and thus are rarely found outside of these settings. The list also includes some species tied to native ecosystems that grade into prairie, such as savannas, sand barrens, fens, sedge meadow, and shallow marsh. The list is annotated with known host(s) of each insect, and the likelihood of its presence in the state (see key at end of list for specifics). This working list is a byproduct of a prairie invertebrate study I coordinated from1995-2005 that covered 6 Midwestern states and included 14 cooperators. The project surveyed insects on prairie remnants and investigated the effects of fire on those insects. It was funded in part by a series of grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. So far, the list has 475 species. However, this is a partial list at best, representing approximately only ¼ of the prairie-specialist insects likely present in the region (see discussion below). Significant input to this list is needed, as there are major taxa groups missing or greatly under represented. Such absence is not necessarily due to few or no prairie-specialists in those groups, but due more to lack of knowledge about life histories (at least published knowledge), unsettled taxonomy, and lack of taxonomic specialists currently working in those groups.

One genus – Auchenancylis gen. n. – and the following species are described as new: Cryptaspasma sanvito sp. n., Pseudancylis sphensaccula sp. n., Aglaopollex niveofascia sp. n., Aglaopollex gana sp. n., Auchenancylis macrauchenia sp. n. Hemimene sevocata is transferred to Auchancylis. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Microcorsini, Enarmoniini, Neotropical, new taxa. INTRODUCTION The Neotropical olethreutine tribes Microcorsini and Enarmoniini are little known. The Microcorsini are represented by six species of Cryptaspasma, described chiefly from Brazil. We have practically no data on their distribution except for the type localities. One species (C. anaphorana WALSINGHAM, 1914) and another described below are known from Central America, Panama and Costa Rica, which are the most northerly known localities of the genus. Enarmoniini have a world-wide distribution with an Oriental-Australian centre. In the New World there occur Ancylis HÜBNER, 1825 (35 Nearctic and 8 Neotropical species), Hystrichophora WALSINGHAM, 1879 (11 Nearctic species), Eucosmomorpha OBRAZTSOV, 1951 (one Nearctic species), Aglaopollex RAZOWSKI & PELZ, 2011 (Neotropical, 9 species) and the monotypical, Neotropical Auchenancylis gen. n. 146 Polish Journal of Entomology 84 (3) Acknowledgements The authors thank Artur CZEKAJ, Witold ZAJDA and Łukasz PRZYBYŁOWICZ, Kraków, for taking the photographs and arranging the plates.

In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields.

Bradley, and Diane S. Hassell This page intentionally left blank. 2 Acknowledgements The authors acknowledge the assistance of numerous individuals in the preparation of this Resource Management Plan. On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. In particular, this assistance was provided by Deby Snodgrass, Kris Marek, and Doug Hawthorne – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. However, it was particularly the assistance provided by Grant Gerondale, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, that initiated the work associated with this RMP. Grant provided a number of documents, hosted an on-site tour of the Ancient Forest, and shared his passion for this property. It is the purpose of the Resource Management Plan to be a living document to assist with decisions related to the resources within the park and the management of those resources. The authors’ desire is to assist decision-makers in providing high quality outdoor recreation experiences and resources for current visitors, while protecting the experiences and the resources for future generations.

  • Tortricoidea: Lepidoptera) from Northwestern India -- Tribe Eucosmini (Olethreutinae)
    PAPER ZOOS' PRINT JOURNAL 20(2): 1751-1765 TAXONOMIC STUDIES ON THE FAMILY TORTRICIDAE (TORTRICOIDEA: LEPIDOPTERA) FROM NORTHWESTERN INDIA -- TRIBE EUCOSMINI (OLETHREUTINAE) H.S. Rose and H.S. Pooni Department of Zoology, Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab 147002, India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Sixteen species belonging to eleven genera viz., Rhopobota Lederer, Acroclita Lederer, Strepsicrates Meyrick, Gibberifera Obraztsov, Loboschiza Diakonoff, Crocidosema Zeller, Epinotia Hübner, Helictophanes Meyrick, Acanthoclita Diakonoff, Ancylis Hübner and Eucosma Hübner belonging to the tribe Eusosmini (Olethreutinae) of the family Tortricidae have been collected from northwestern India and dealt with taxonomically. Key to the presently examined genera has been prepared on the basis of characters such as the labial palpi, antennae, costal fold, anal fold, wing venation and male and female genitalic characteristics. Further, keys to the species of the genera Epinotia Hübner and Eucosma Hübner represented by more than one species have also been furnished. Eucosma pseudostrigulata is being reported as new to science. Species such as Rhopobota grypodes Meyrick, Epinotia corynetes Diakonoff, Acanthoclita iridorphna Meyrick and Eucosma prominens Meyrick are being reported for the first time from India, whereas, Acroclita corinthia Meyrick, Gibberifera glaciata Meyrick, Epinotia canthonias Meyrick, Helictophanes dryocoma Meyrick, Ancylis lutescens Meyrick, Eucosma stereoma Meyrick and E. melanoneura Meyrick have been collected for the first
