Annual Reports /•"'7 J ^5* GENERAL INDEX THIRTY ANNUAL REPORTS ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIET > OF ONTARIO 1870-1899. Prepaked By REV, C. J. S. BETHUNE, D.C.L., Editor of The Canadian Entomo/o;/i.s(. (PUBLISHED BY ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. TORONTO: Printed and Pltblished by L. K. Camehon. Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. 1900. WARWICK BRO'S & RUTTER, Printers. TORONTO. PREFACE. The following general Index to the thirty annual Reports of the Entomological Society of Ontario, on noxious, bene6cial and other insects, has been prepared by direction of the Hon the Minister of Agriculture for Ontario. It has been thought advisable to include all references to birds, well as to plants, etc., as insects, in one index and thus save the trouble of turning from one part to another. For the same reason also, insects are referred to under their specific as well as generic names, and changes of nomenclature are given as far as possible. Superseded names are placed in brackets, e.g., abdominalis, Bracliynemurus (Myrmeleon), denotes that the species is mentioned under the genus Myrmeleon, but is now included in Brachynemurus. of the earlier volumes, i, ii, iii, Some namely, viii and x, were published in the reports of the Department of Agriculture with the numbers of their pages following those of the lar<^er volume they were also issued separately with an ; independent pagination. All the references to these volumes have been given with the numbers referring to the larger volume in brackets e.n Abbotii, Thyreus, iii : 13 the number of the (380) ; volume being in Roman numerals In deciding questions of nomenclature the following authorities have, for the most part been followed : Prof. Smith's List of Lepidoptera J. 3- of Boreal America, 1891, and Insects of New Jersey, 1899 ; Henshaw's List of Ooleoi)tera, with Supplements ; Scudder's Revision of the Melanopli ; and Bank's Bibliography of American Economic Entomology. of the earlier reports were As many not numbered, but distinguished only by their dates a list is given of the volumes and the years to which they belong.

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,

Cannon Nutritional Ecology of the Carpenter Ant Camponotus pennsylvanicus (De Geer): Macronutrient Preference and Particle Consumption Colleen A. Cannon (ABSTRACT) The nutritional ecology of the black carpenter ant, Camponotus pennsylvanicus (De Geer) was investigated by examining macronutrient preference and particle consumption in foraging workers. The crops of foragers collected in the field were analyzed for macronutrient content at two-week intervals through the active season. Choice tests were conducted at similar intervals during the active season to determine preference within and between macronutrient groups. Isolated individuals and small social groups were fed fluorescent microspheres in the laboratory to establish the fate of particles ingested by workers of both castes. Under natural conditions, foragers chiefly collected carbohydrate and nitrogenous material. Carbohydrate predominated in the crop and consisted largely of simple sugars. A small amount of glycogen was present. Carbohydrate levels did not vary with time. Lipid levels in the crop were quite low. The level of nitrogen compounds in the crop was approximately half that of carbohydrate, and exhibited seasonal dependence. Peaks in nitrogen foraging occurred in June and September, months associated with the completion of brood rearing in Camponotus.

  • The Functions and Evolution of Social Fluid Exchange in Ant Colonies (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Marie-Pierre Meurville & Adria C
    ISSN 1997-3500 Myrmecological News myrmecologicalnews.org Myrmecol. News 31: 1-30 doi: 10.25849/myrmecol.news_031:001 13 January 2021 Review Article Trophallaxis: the functions and evolution of social fluid exchange in ant colonies (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Marie-Pierre Meurville & Adria C. LeBoeuf Abstract Trophallaxis is a complex social fluid exchange emblematic of social insects and of ants in particular. Trophallaxis behaviors are present in approximately half of all ant genera, distributed over 11 subfamilies. Across biological life, intra- and inter-species exchanged fluids tend to occur in only the most fitness-relevant behavioral contexts, typically transmitting endogenously produced molecules adapted to exert influence on the receiver’s physiology or behavior. Despite this, many aspects of trophallaxis remain poorly understood, such as the prevalence of the different forms of trophallaxis, the components transmitted, their roles in colony physiology and how these behaviors have evolved. With this review, we define the forms of trophallaxis observed in ants and bring together current knowledge on the mechanics of trophallaxis, the contents of the fluids transmitted, the contexts in which trophallaxis occurs and the roles these behaviors play in colony life. We identify six contexts where trophallaxis occurs: nourishment, short- and long-term decision making, immune defense, social maintenance, aggression, and inoculation and maintenance of the gut microbiota. Though many ideas have been put forth on the evolution of trophallaxis, our analyses support the idea that stomodeal trophallaxis has become a fixed aspect of colony life primarily in species that drink liquid food and, further, that the adoption of this behavior was key for some lineages in establishing ecological dominance.

  • CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.

  • Are Pollinating Hawk Moths Declining in the Northeastern United States? an Analysis of Collection Records
    11/30/2017 Are pollinating hawk moths declining in the Northeastern United States? An analysis of collection records Are pollinating hawk moths declining in the Northeastern United States? An analysis of collection records Bruce E. Young , Stephanie Auer , Margaret Ormes , Giovanni Rapacciuolo , Dale Schweitzer , Nicole Sears Published: October 5, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0185683 Abstract Increasing attention to pollinators and their role in providing ecosystem services has revealed a paucity of studies on long-term population trends of most insect pollinators in many parts of the world. Because targeted monitoring programs are resource intensive and unlikely to be performed on most insect pollinators, we took advantage of existing collection records to examine long- term trends in northeastern United States populations of 26 species of hawk moths (family Sphingidae) that are presumed to be pollinators. We compiled over 6,600 records from nine museum and 14 private collections that spanned a 112-year period, and used logistic generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) to examine long-term population trends. We controlled for uneven sampling effort by adding a covariate for list length, the number of species recorded during each sampling event. We found that of the 22 species for which there was sufficient data to assess population trends, eight species declined and four species increased in detection probability (the probability of a species being recorded during each year while accounting for effort, climate, and spatial effects in the GLMMs). Of the four species with too few records to statistically assess, two have disappeared from parts of their ranges.

Nonetheless, how the structure of the digestive system has adapted across the Accepted 21 July 2020 ant phylogeny to facilitate these abilities is still not well understood. The crop and proventriculus, Available online xxx structures in the ant foregut (stomodeum), have received most attention for their roles in trophallaxis. However, potential roles of the esophagus have not been as well studied. Here, we report for the first Keywords: time the presence of an auxiliary thoracic crop in Pheidole aberrans and Pheidole deima using X-ray micro- Ants computed tomography and 3D segmentation. Additionally, we describe morphological modifications Dimorphism Mesosomal crop involving the endo- and exoskeleton that are associated with the presence of the thoracic crop. Our Liquid food results indicate that the presence of a thoracic crop in major workers suggests their potential role as Species group repletes or live food reservoirs, expanding the possibilities of tasks assumed by these individuals in the colony.

  • Distribution and Phenologies of Louisiana Sphingidae
    jO/trnaZ of the Lepidopterists' Society 51(2). 1997. 156-175 DISTRIBUTION AND PHENOLOGIES OF LOUISIANA SPHINGIDAE VERNON ANTOINE BROU, JR. AND CHARLOTTE DOZAR BROU 74.320 Jack Loyd Road, Abita Springs, Louisiana 70420, USA ABSTRACT. The abundance, distribution, and flight periods for 55 species of Louisiana Sphingidae are presented, including plior literature records and new collecting data for 44 species taken over a 26-year period (1970 through 1995). Information is pro­ vided on the number of annual broods for .36 species, and dates of capture are plotted as one-year and composite graphs for 30 species. Additional key words: bait traps, hawkmoths, light traps, sphinx moths, voltinism. The first treatment of the family Sphingidae in Louisiana was pre­ sented by von Reizenstein (1863), who reported 33 species from the vicinity of New Orleans. Later, von Reizenstein (1881) and Ottolengui (1894) each tallied one additional species for the state, and subsequent published works during this century have gradually expanded the total by another dozen species (see Rothschild & Jordan 1903, Hine 1906, Clark 1917, Draudt 1931, Jung 1950, Merkl & pfrimmer 1955, pfrim­ mer 1957, Brou 1980, Covell 1984, Brou 1994). For some time, we have been monitoring and collecting adult Louisiana Sphingidae in order to produce a comprehensive state list and examine voltinism and variation in the abundance of adults from brood to brood. In the present paper, we discuss the results from 26 years of sampling, 1970 through 1995. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used ultraviolet light traps and fermenting bait traps to attract sphingids, logging approximately 416,000 light trap hours and 633,000 bait trap hours from 1970 through 1995.
