The Type-Specimens of Heteroptera Described by V. Motschulsky Annales Entomologici Fennici 51: 33-45. 1985. The type-specimens of Heteroptera described by V. Motschulsky I. M. Kerzhner and A. Jansson Kerzhner, I. M. & Jansson, A. 1985: The type-specimens of Heteroptera described by V. Motschulsky. - Ann. Ent. Fenn. 51: 33 45. The species of Heteroptera described by Motschulsky in 1859-1866 are reviewed and for the majority of them (48 species) lectotypes are designated. The following new combinations, new synonymy, and new species are established: Gerridae: Gerris insularis (Motsch.), sp. dist. (not synonym of G. paludum F.), G. yasurmatsui Miy., syn. n. Miridae: Lygocoris viridlanus (Motsch.), sp. dist. (not synonym of L. pabulinus L.); Zanchius pistacinus (Motsch.), comb. n. (from Lep- tomerocoris), = Z. flavovirens (Popp.), syn. n.; Pharyllus distanti Kerzhner, sp. n. for P. pistacinus of Distant, 1904 (not Motsch.). Anthocoridae: BTilia minuta (Motsch.), comb. n. (from Cydnus?). Lygaeidae: Macropes dentipes Motsch., sp. dist. (not synonym of M. spinirnanus Motsch.), = M. privus Dist., syn. n.; Pachybrachius an- nulipes (Baer.) Plociomerus punctulatus Motsch.,. syn. n.; Pamerarmna distanti Kerzhner, sp. n. for Parnera punctulata of Distant, 1904 (not Motsch.). Plataspidae: Coptosoma ellia Walk., sp. dist. (not synonym of C. variegatum H.-S.). Pen- tatomidae: Rhaphigaster nebulosa (Poda) = Menidafusca Motsch., syn. n. The following cases are in need of ruling by the Commission: Contradictions bet- ween discovered remnants of the types and the designated neotypes of Micronecta al- bifrons (Motsch.), Hallodapus albofasciatus (Motsch.) and Onius tantillus (Motsch.), misidentified type-species of the genera Tyraquellus Dist. and Pharyllus Dist., and a forgotten early synonym of Pentatoma metdllifera Motsch. 1.

  • Behind the Scenes, I Have Been Watching the Bowerbird Record
    15 May 2015 Ken Walker ([email protected]) Museum Victoria. Edition 8. Hi All – Behind the scenes, I have been watching the BowerBird record counter on ALA tick over weekly and we have just cracked the 20,000+ BowerBird records on ALA (Atlas of Living Australia). Yooowhoooooo!! BowerBird was launched on 10th March 2013 so that’s just over 2 years to achieve that count. The map below shows locations for the 20,130 records. Congratulations and thanks to all contributors! From a purely funding analysis point of view, the initial ALA grant to develop BowerBird was $350,000 which at 20,130 records is currently returning per record at a cost of $17.38 and that per record cost will only get lower as more BowerBird records are added and uploaded. For some species on ALA, BowerBird provides the only distributional species data points: For other species on ALA, BowerBird provides the only species image for species on ALA: From a Biosecurity point of view of tracking exotic species, BowerBird has supplied all records post 2007 for the exotic South African Carder bee. All of the blue dots represent BowerBird records. Other than the great biodiversity results that BowerBird delivers through ALA, there are a myriad of other intangible benefits that come from the BowerBird website. Intangibles such as the member’s conversations, identification discussions, the friendships, the biological statements and the generated innate knowledge. One particular “intangible”, I would like to tell you about here. The PBCRC (Plant Biosecurity, Cooperative Research Centre) has a theme called “Building Resilience through Remote Indigenous Engagement”.

  • Broad-Headed Bugs (Alydidae)
    Chapter 18 Broad-Headed Bugs (Alydidae) Antônio R. Panizzi and Carl w. Schaefer Abstract The broad-headed bugs (Alydidae) are divided into two subfamilies, Alydinaeand Micrelytrinae, each divided into two tribes, Daclerini and Alydini, and Micrelytriniand Leptocorisini, respectively, The farnily has 53 genera and about 250 specieins; the Neotropics, there are 21 genera. Alydids are small (8-20 mm), slen- Itr,with a triangular head; nymphs of alydines mimic ants, the adults of some Micrelytrinialso rnirnic ants. The most studied species in the Neotropics is the aly- dineNeomegalotomus parvus (Westwood), usually associated with legumes, and maybe a pest on soybean. Other common genera include Hyalymenus Amyot & Serville,Stenocoris Burmeister, Cydamus Stâl, and Trachelium Herrich-Schâffer. Studieson taxonomy and bioecology on alydids of the Neotropics are needed. 18.1 Introduction AlydidaeAmyot and Serville, 1843, were treated as a subfarnily of the farnily Coreidaeand even as a tribe (Schaffner 1964); now it has been treated as a farnily, ~ether with Coreidae, Rhopalidae, Hyocephalidae, and Stenocephalidae, in the !UperfarniCoreoidealy (Schaefer 1964). Thisfarnily contains 53 genera and approximately 250 species, mostly tropical Irsubtropical,in all regions of the world. There are only two genera that span both dleOldand the New World, Alydus and Megalotomus. These genera are Holarctic, IInAlydus extends from Alaska through Canada into Mexico (Brailovsky and Flores 1979;Froeschner 1988; Maw et al. 2000).

  • Insect Classification Standards 2020
    RECOMMENDED INSECT CLASSIFICATION FOR UGA ENTOMOLOGY CLASSES (2020) In an effort to standardize the hexapod classification systems being taught to our students by our faculty in multiple courses across three UGA campuses, I recommend that the Entomology Department adopts the basic system presented in the following textbook: Triplehorn, C.A. and N.F. Johnson. 2005. Borror and DeLong’s Introduction to the Study of Insects. 7th ed. Thomson Brooks/Cole, Belmont CA, 864 pp. This book was chosen for a variety of reasons. It is widely used in the U.S. as the textbook for Insect Taxonomy classes, including our class at UGA. It focuses on North American taxa. The authors were cautious, presenting changes only after they have been widely accepted by the taxonomic community. Below is an annotated summary of the T&J (2005) classification. Some of the more familiar taxa above the ordinal level are given in caps. Some of the more important and familiar suborders and families are indented and listed beneath each order. Note that this is neither an exhaustive nor representative list of suborders and families. It was provided simply to clarify which taxa are impacted by some of more important classification changes. Please consult T&J (2005) for information about taxa that are not listed below. Unfortunately, T&J (2005) is now badly outdated with respect to some significant classification changes. Therefore, in the classification standard provided below, some well corroborated and broadly accepted updates have been made to their classification scheme. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this classification.

ABSTRACT This catalog presents the 54 species of Coreidae, 4 of Alydidae and 12 of Rhopalidae presently known from Nicaragua, with host plants and natural enemies. file:///C|/My%20Documents/REVISTA/REV%2025/25%20Coreoidea.htm (1 of 22) [10/11/2002 05:49:48 p.m.] Rev * Museo Entomológico, S.E.A., A.P. 527, León, Nicaragua. ** Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Zoologisches Museum und Institut für Spezielle Zoologie, Invalidenstr. 43, O-1040 Berlin, Alemaña. INTRODUCCION Los Coreoidea son representados en Nicaragua por solo tres familias: Coreidae, Alydidae y Rhopalidae. Son en general fitófagos y a veces de importancia económica, atacando algunos cultivos. Morfológicamente pueden identificarse por presentar los siguientes caracteres: antenas de 4 segmentos, presencia de ocelos, labio de 4 segmentos, membrana de las alas anteriores con numerosas venas. Los Coreidae se caracterizan por un tamaño mediano a grande, en general mayor de un centímetro. Los fémures posteriores son a veces engrosados y las tibias posteriores a veces parecen pedazos de hojas, de donde deriva el nombre común en Nicaragua "chinches patas de hojas". Los Alydidae son alargados, delgados, con cabeza ancha y las ninfas ocasionalmente son miméticas de hormigas. Son especies de tamaño mediano, generalmente mayor de un centímetro. Los Rhopalidae son chinches pequeñas, muchas veces menores de un centímetro y con la membrana habitualmente con venación reducida.
