Rondeau Provincial Park RONDEAU PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Rondeau Provincial Park in 2014 (42.30206, -81.85306, 239m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from April 29 – September 16, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed; every other sample was analyzed using the individual specimen protocol while the second half was analyzed via bulk analysis. A total of 1248 BINs were obtained. Over half the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), true bugs (Hemiptera), and moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera; Figure 2). In total, 303 arthropod species were named, representing 26.6% of the BINs from the Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Rondeau site (Appendix 1). All but 1 of the BINs were assigned at Provincial Park in 2014. least to family, and 55.3% were assigned to a genus (Appendix 2). Specimens collected from Rondeau represent 191 different families and 380 genera.

  • A New Brachypterous Species of Elachiptera Becker (Diptera: Chloropidae) from Freshwater Wetlands in Eastern Canada
    Zootaxa 360: 1–6 (2003) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 360 Copyright © 2003 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A new brachypterous species of Elachiptera Becker (Diptera: Chloropidae) from freshwater wetlands in eastern Canada TERRY A. WHEELER Department of Natural Resource Sciences, McGill University, Macdonald Campus, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC, H9X 3V9 CANADA ([email protected]) Abstract Elachiptera aquila sp. nov. is described from freshwater wetlands in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. Its apparent sister species is Elachiptera salinaria Sabrosky and Valley, known from coastal salt marshes in the eastern United States. Although there are Palearctic Elachiptera that are polymor- phic for wing length, this is the first brachypterous species of the genus described from North America. Key Words: Chloropidae, Diptera, Elachiptera, Nearctic, brachypterous, systematics Introduction Elachiptera Becker is one of the more easily recognized genera of Nearctic Chloropidae, primarily because of the broad, strap-like arista that characterizes most included species. Below the generic level, however, many species of Elachiptera are morphologically uni- form. One of the exceptions is Elachiptera salinaria Sabrosky and Valley, a salt marsh species from the eastern United States that can be easily distinguished from other Nearctic Elachiptera species by the broadly rounded occipital margin of the head (Sabrosky and Valley 1987). A new species, apparently closely related to E. salinaria, is described here from freshwater wetland habitats in eastern Canada. This is the first brachypterous species of Nearctic Elachiptera. Materials and Methods Specimens were initially preserved in 70% ethanol and subsequently prepared using a crit- ical-point dryer or chemically dried using hexamethyldisilazane.

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,

  • Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish Landscape Lise Brunberg Nielsen
    Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish landscape Lise Brunberg Nielsen Nielsen, Lise Brunberg: Distribution of Oscinellinae (Diptera: Chloropidae) in the Danish Landscape. Ent. Meddr 82: 39-62, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2014. ISSN 0013-8851 Abstract About 29,700 Oscinellinae were collected by means of sweep net, water traps and pitfalls in a variety of uncultivated habitats in Denmark mainly in Jutland. So far 75 species belonging to 21 genera are re­ corded from Denmark. Eleven species are new to the Danish fauna. Morphological details of Aphanotrigonum brachypterum, A. hungaricum, A. nigripes, Conioscinella gallarum, lncertella albipalpis, I. nigrifrons, I. kerteszi, I. scotica and Oscinella angustipennis are presented. The distribu­ tion of Oscinellinae in the Danish landscape is discussed. In Denmark, farmland dominates, so the two most abundant Oscinellarspecies of ara­ ble land, Oscinella frit and 0. vastator, are also predominant in most nat­ ural habitats. Small and larger uncultivated areas, however, making up only 25 % of the Danish landscape, contain a rich fauna of Oscinel­ lines. The advantage of different sampling methods combined is demonstrated. Sammendrag Fordelingen af fritf1uer (Diptera: Chloropidae) i det danske landskab.

Al-Saffar Iraq Natural History Research Center and Museum, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq Corresponding author: [email protected] Received Date:27 March 2018 Accepted Date:30 April 2018 ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to survey and make to revision the genera and species of Chloropidae fauna of Iraq. The investigation showed four species belonging four genera, which belongs to two subfamilies, and one unidentified species belonging to the genus Elachiptera Maquart, The specimens were compared with stored insects at Department of Entomology and invertebrates, Iraq Natural History Research Center and Museum. Key words: Brachycera, Chloropidae, Diptera, Eye fly, Grass fly, Iraq. INTRODUCTION The family Chloropidae Schoenher,1840 (frit flies, grass flies or eye flies) belongs to super family Carnoidea. It has four subfamilies: Chloropinae, Oscinellinae, Rhodesiellinae, and Siphonellpsinae (Brues et al.,1954). The members of Chloropidae are worldwide distribution or cosmopolitan and are found in all Zoogeographical regions except Antarctica; they are about 3000 described species under 200 genera (Sabrosky,1989; Canzoneri, et al., 1995; Nartshuk, 2012; Bazyar et al., 2015). The grass flies are also found in marshes, vegetation areas, forests; the members of the family are phytophagous. Some species as a gall maker of stems likes Lipara lucens Meigen, 1830 on Phragmites australis (Poaceae) are affected on the morphological tissue (Van de Vyvere and De Bruyn, 1988); and many larvae feed and developed flower heads, shoots and seeds of Poaceae and some feed on the stems of cereals, thus affected of economic production (Alford,1999; Karpa, 2001;Petrova et al., 2013).

This study features the endophagous insect community in reproductive aroid structures of a tropical rainforest of Mexico, and the shifting that occurs along an altitudinal gradient and among different hosts. In three sites of the Los Tuxtlas Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, we surveyed eight aroid species over a yearly cycle. The insects found were reared in the laboratory, quantified and identified. Data were analyzed through species interaction networks. We recorded 34 endophagous species from 21 families belonging to four insect orders. The community was highly specialized at both network and species levels. Along the altitudinal gradient, there was a reduction in richness and a high turnover of species, while the assemblage among hosts was also highly specific, with different dominant species.

C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

  • A Summary List of Fossil Spiders
    A summary list of fossil spiders compiled by Jason A. Dunlop (Berlin), David Penney (Manchester) & Denise Jekel (Berlin) Suggested citation: Dunlop, J. A., Penney, D. & Jekel, D. 2010. A summary list of fossil spiders. In Platnick, N. I. (ed.) The world spider catalog, version 10.5. American Museum of Natural History, online at http://research.amnh.org/entomology/spiders/catalog/index.html Last udated: 10.12.2009 INTRODUCTION Fossil spiders have not been fully cataloged since Bonnet’s Bibliographia Araneorum and are not included in the current Catalog. Since Bonnet’s time there has been considerable progress in our understanding of the spider fossil record and numerous new taxa have been described. As part of a larger project to catalog the diversity of fossil arachnids and their relatives, our aim here is to offer a summary list of the known fossil spiders in their current systematic position; as a first step towards the eventual goal of combining fossil and Recent data within a single arachnological resource. To integrate our data as smoothly as possible with standards used for living spiders, our list follows the names and sequence of families adopted in the Catalog. For this reason some of the family groupings proposed in Wunderlich’s (2004, 2008) monographs of amber and copal spiders are not reflected here, and we encourage the reader to consult these studies for details and alternative opinions. Extinct families have been inserted in the position which we hope best reflects their probable affinities. Genus and species names were compiled from established lists and cross-referenced against the primary literature.

  • The Biology of the Predator Complex of the Filbert Aphid, Myzocallis Coryli
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Russell H. Messing for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presented in July 1982 Title: The Biology of the Predator Complex of the Filbert Aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) in Western Oregon. Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy M. T. AliNiiee Commercial filbert orchards throughout the Willamette Valley were surveyed for natural enemies of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze). A large number of predaceous insects were found to prey upon M. coryli, particularly members of the families Coccinellidae, Miridae, Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae, and Syrphidae. Also, a parasitic Hymenopteran (Mesidiopsis sp.) and a fungal pathogen (Triplosporium fresenii) were found to attack this aphid species. Populations of major predators were monitored closely during 1981 to determine phenology and synchrony with aphid populations and to determine their relative importance. Adalia bipunctata, Deraeocoris brevis, Chrysopa sp. and Hemerobius sp. were found to be extremely well synchronized with aphid population development cycles. Laboratory feeding trials demonstrated that all 4 predaceous insects tested (Deraeocoris brevis, Heterotoma meriopterum, Compsidolon salicellum and Adalia bipunctata) had a severe impact upon filbert aphid population growth. A. bipunctata was more voracious than the other 3 species, but could not live as long in the absence of aphid prey. Several insecticides were tested both in the laboratory and field to determine their relative toxicity to filbert aphids and the major natural enemies. Field tests showed Metasystox-R to be the most effective against filbert aphids, while Diazinon, Systox, Zolone, and Thiodan were moderately effective. Sevin was relatively ineffective. All insecticides tested in the field severely disrupted the predator complex.

ANDREWS EXPERIMENTAL FOREST, WESTERN CASCADE MOUNTAINS, OREGON: A SURVEY OF ARTHROPODS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CANOPY OF OLD-GROWTH Pseudotsuga Menziesii D.J. Voegtlin FORUT REJEARCH LABORATORY SCHOOL OF FORESTRY OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Since 1941, the Forest Research Laboratory--part of the School of Forestry at Oregon State University in Corvallis-- has been studying forests and why they are like they are. A staff or more than 50 scientists conducts research to provide information for wise public and private decisions on managing and using Oregons forest resources and operating its wood-using industries. Because of this research, Oregons forests now yield more in the way of wood products, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Wood products are harvested, processed, and used more efficiently. Employment, productivity, and profitability in industries dependent on forests also have been strengthened. And this research has helped Oregon to maintain a quality environment for its people. Much research is done in the Laboratorys facilities on the campus. But field experiments in forest genetics, young- growth management, forest hydrology, harvesting methods, and reforestation are conducted on 12,000 acres of School forests adjacent to the campus and on lands of public and private cooperating agencies throughout the Pacific Northwest. With these publications, the Forest Research Laboratory supplies the results of its research to forest land owners and managers, to manufacturers and users of forest products, to leaders of government and industry, and to the general public. The Author David J. Voegtlin is Assistant Taxonomist at the Illinois Natural History Survey, Champaign, Illinois.
