Jetzt ist nur noch zu hoffen, dass auch die Autoren der anderen in dem Band vertretenen Insektengruppen fertig werden und schließlich auch das Geld zum Druck noch vorhanden ist. Die Euphorie wird aber schon wieder etwas gebremst: In einer email bzw. Mitteilung des Rote-Liste-Zentrums mit seinen Neujahrsglückwünschen vom 28.01.2021 liest es sich so: "Ebenso steht endlich die Veröffentlichung für den letzten Rote-Liste-Band der 2009er Reihe bevor. Die Druckaufbereitung wird im Frühjahr abgeschlossen." Auf dieser Grundlage konnte auch auf der Homepage des HETEROPTERON die EntGerm- Liste auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht werden. Auch das Inhalt-Verzeichnis wurde nun für H. 1-60 komplettiert. 2 HETEROPTERON Heft 61 / 2021 Wegen der knappen Datenlage zum Wanzenvorkommen im Ruhrgebiet soll - trotz gewisser Bedenken wegen der Länge - eine diesbezügliche, sehr umfangreiche Arbeit hier in diesem Heft des HETEROPTERON erscheinen. Sechs weitere kleinere Arbeiten berichten von neuen, erweiterten oder beobachtenswerten Vorkommen einzelner Arten. Wegen der rasanten Ausbreitung von Halyomorpha halys zumindest in NW-Deutschlands soll eine "Zusammenfassende Darstellung" mit umfangreicher, aus Platzgründen erst im nächsten Heft erscheinenden Bibliographie zu dieser Art versucht werden. Und auch die Liste der neu erschienenen heteropterologischen Arbeiten ist wieder recht umfangreich. Hier soll noch einmal (unter Bezug auf die Arbeit im HETEROPTERON H. 49, 26- 27) auf die unglaubliche Wasserwanzen-Literatur-Datenbank von FELIPE MOREIRA hingewiesen werden, die er zusammen mit den Glückwünschen zum Jahreswechsel noch einmal zum Gebrauch anbot. Es sind mittlerweite über 6.500 (!!!) Arbeiten als pdf-Datei enthalten. Z.T. handelt es sich verständlicherweise nur um die die Wasserwanzen betreffenden Teile, z.T. sind aber auch ganze Arbeiten und Bände einsehbar oder herunterladbar. Zum Schluß noch eine Kleinigkeit: Das Layout des HETEROPTERON wurde 1996 von Nicht-Spezialisten erstellt. Es hat sich aber bis heute bewährt. Seinerzeit kam es darauf an, Farbseiten wegen der Druckkosten möglichst zu vermeiden. Als ganz kleine Änderung ist jetzt ab Heft 61 das Emblem auf der Titelseite durch eine Farbabbildung ersetzt worden, wofür GERHARD STRAUSS als Urheber des CORISA dankenswerter Weise sein Plazet gegeben hat. H.J. Hoffmann HETEROPTERON Heft 61 / 2021 3 Wanzenvorkommen (Insecta: Heteroptera) in acht ausgewählten Lebensräumen eines Grünzuges im Ruhrgebiet (NRW) GREGOR TYMANN Zusammenfassung: Vorgestellt wird die Wanzenfauna acht ausgewählter Lebensräume innerhalb eines Grünflächenverbundes im Ruhrgebiet (NRW). Das 3 km2 große Untersuchungsgebiet prägten in den letzten mehr als 100 Jahren kleinbäuerliche und industrielle Strukturen, in die ein älterer Waldbestand eingebettet ist. Seit den 1980er Jahren wurden die bis dahin industriell genutzten Flächen nach ihrer Begrünung größtenteils als Naherholungsgebiete wieder zugänglich gemacht. Die Begehung der einzelnen Biotope erfolgte unregelmäßig in den Jahren 2013-2020, wobei insgesamt 211 Wanzenarten festgestellt wurden. Gearbeitet wurde mit Kescher, Klopfschirm und gezielter Suche am Boden. Da bei der Suche keine weiteren Hilfsmittel wie Leucht- oder Bodenfallen benutzt, bzw. mikroskopische Untersuchungen durchgeführt wurden, ist davon auszugehen, dass die Artenanzahl in diesem Falle höher ausgefallen wäre, zumal Taxa wie Psallus und Anthocoridae mit überwiegend nur genitalmorphologisch sicher bestimmbaren Arten kaum berücksichtigt worden sind. Vorbemerkung Untersuchungen zu Wanzen im Ruhrgebiet haben bisher nur partiell stattgefunden. Gut untersucht ist das Stadtgebiet der Stadt Bochum: APPELHOFF (1990) fand 56 Wanzenarten auf dem Gelände des Botanischen Gartens in Bochum, JAGEL (2019) meldete 39 Arten von einer Obstwiese und SCHMIDT (2019) verzeichnet in einer faunistischen Erfassung des gesamten Stadtgebietes 180 Wanzenarten. In der Stadt Essen auf dem Gelände der ehemaligen Zeche und Kokerei „Zollverein“ wurden 94 Arten (TYMANN 2017, HOFFMANN et al. 2018) und auf der hier ebenfalls behandelten Bergehalde „Mottbruch“ in Gladbeck 127 Arten nachgewiesen (TYMANN 2020). Untersuchungsgebiet und Biotope In den 1980er Jahren fand im Ruhrgebiet die Renaturierung vieler vormalig industriell genutzter Areale statt. Diese wurden in den 1990er Jahren durch Zusammenlegung mit landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen und bereits bestehenden Grüngebieten in sieben, das Ruhrgebiet in Nord- Süd Richtung durchziehende Grünzüge (A-G) zusammengefasst, die vielerorts räumlich miteinander verbunden sind und so eine, das Ruhrgebiet übergreifende grüne Infrastruktur bilden. Dieser sogenannte „Emscher Landschaftspark“ und seine Gewässersysteme reichen in die Städte und Wohngebiete hinein und fügen sich an Maßnahmen der grünen Stadtentwicklung an (KIPAR 2016). Das Untersuchungsgebiet umfasst ein 3 km2 großes Areal innerhalb des Grünzuges mit der Bezeichnung „D“ auf dem Gebiet der Stadt Gladbeck (Kreis Recklinghausen) sowie der kreisfreien Städte Bottrop und Essen. Abb. 1: Untersuchungsgebiet mit den einzelnen Lebensräumen (Quelle: Google Maps) 4 HETEROPTERON Heft 61 / 2021 Bearbeitet wurden acht Lebensräume unterschiedlicher Ausprägung (Bergehalden, Brachflächen, renaturierte Emscher-Oberläufe, ein kleines Feuchtgebiet und Wald) mit Größen von 0,5 ha bis 61 ha. Die Bergehalden erheben sich mit bis zu 80 m Höhe über eine vormals eher ebene Landschaft, deren Gestalt durch großflächige Aufschüttungen der Montanindustrie deutlich verändert wurde.

However, the origin of the maternal care in the family has remained unclear due to the lack of phylogenetic hypotheses. Another reproductive mode is found in non-caring species whose females smear their eggs before leaving them. They possess pairs of complex organs on the abdominal venter called Pendergrast’s organ (PO) and spread the secretion of this organ onto each egg with their hind legs, which is supposed to provide a protective function against enemies. Some authors claim that the absence of PO may be associated with the presence of maternal care. No study, however, has tested this hypothesis of a correlated evolution between the two traits. Results: We reconstructed the molecular phylogeny of the subfamily Acanthosomatinae using five genetic markers sequenced from 44 species and one subspecies with and without maternal care.

Drake and Florence A. Ruhoff Introduction A treatise of the generic names of the family Tingidae from a global standpoint embodies problems similar to those frequently encountered in corresponding studies in other animal groups. The more im- portant criteria, including such basic desiderata as fixation of type species, synonyms, priority, and dates of technical publications implicate questions concomitant with recent trends toward the clarification and stabilization of zoological nomenclature. Zoogeography, predicated and authenticated on the generic level by the distribution of genera and species, is portrayed here by means of tables, charts, and maps of the tingifauna of the world. This visual pattern of distribution helps one to form a more vivid concept of the family and its hierarchic levels of subfamilies and genera. To a limited extent the data indicate distributional concentrations and probable centers of evolution and dispersal paths of genera. The phylogenetic relationship of genera is not discussed. The present treatise recognizes 216 genera (plus 79 synonyms, homonyms, and emendations) of the Tingidae of the world and gives 1 Research for this paper was supported In part by the National Science Foundation, grant No. 4095. 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 112 the figure of 1,767 as the approximate number of species now recog- nized.

  • A Faunistic Approach to Assess Potential Side-Effects of Genetically Modified Bt-Corn on Non-Target Arthropods Under Field Conditions
    Biocontrol Science and Technology (March 2004), Vol. 14, No. 2, 129Á/170 A Faunistic Approach to Assess Potential Side-Effects of Genetically Modified Bt-Corn on Non-Target Arthropods Under Field Conditions 1 2 1 1 M. P. CANDOLFI ,K.BROWN, C. GRIMM , B. REBER AND H. SCHMIDLI1 1Syngenta Crop Protection AG, CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland; 2Ecotox Limited, Tavistock, Devon, UK (Received 31 October 2001; accepted 13 May 2003) A faunistic study investigating the potential side-effects of corn (Zea mays) genetically modified to express a truncated Cry1Ab protein derived from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki, on non-target arthropods was carried out under field conditions. The communities of non-target arthropods in the soil, on the leaves and flying in the crop area were monitored throughout the growing season. Water-treated, untransformed corn served as a control, and a spray application of a bacterial Bt insecticide (Delfin WG) and a synthetic insecticide (Karate Xpress) used to control the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis; Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) acted as positive reference treatments. Results were analyzed using a principal response curve. Significantly lower infestations by the lepidopteran target species O. nubilalis were observed in the Bt-corn plots compared to the control. No effects of Bt-corn on the communities of soil dwelling and non-target plant dwelling arthropods were observed. A trend towards a community effect on flying arthropods was observed with lower abundance of adult Lepidoptera, flies in the families Lonchopteridae, Mycetophilidae and Syrphidae, and the hymenopteran parasitoids Ceraphronidae. Effects were weak and restricted to two sampling dates corresponding to anthesis.

In the case of insects, most published DNA barcoding studies focus on species of the Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera and especially Lepidoptera. In this study we test the efficiency of DNA barcoding for true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), an ecological and economical highly important as well as morphologically diverse insect taxon. As part of our study we analyzed DNA barcodes for 1742 specimens of 457 species, comprising 39 families of the Heteroptera. We found low nucleotide distances with a minimum pairwise K2P distance ,2.2% within 21 species pairs (39 species). For ten of these species pairs (18 species), minimum pairwise distances were zero. In contrast to this, deep intraspecific sequence divergences with maximum pairwise distances .2.2% were detected for 16 traditionally recognized and valid species. With a successful identification rate of 91.5% (418 species) our study emphasizes the use of DNA barcodes for the identification of true bugs and represents an important step in building-up a comprehensive barcode library for true bugs in Germany and Central Europe as well.

SESSION III Use of the predators Orius laevigatus and Aeolothrips spp. to control F rankliniella occidentalis populations in greenhouse peppers in the region of Monastir, Tunisia Mohamed Elimem, Brahim Chermiti /DERUDWRLUHG¶HQWRPRORJLHHWGHOXWWHELRORJLTXH,QVWLWXW6XSpULHXUAgronomique de Chott- Mériem 4042, Université de Sousse, Tunisia The use of Orius laevigatus and Aeolothrips spp. to control Frankliniella occidentalis in greenhouse peppers in Tunisia produced different results according to predator species and different doses and release frequencies. In the case of the predator bug O. laevigatus, the most effective dose was 1 individual per m! repeated three times with an interval of one week. Although O. laevigatus releases caused F. occidentalis populations to decrease for only one week, the predator was able to become installed in the crop and to proliferate. In the case of the predatory thrips Aeolothrips spp., no individuals were recorded in the pepper greenhouse even after the third release. However, the F. occidentalis population decreased to low average values of 0.42 and 0.06 thrips per flower as a result of the spontaneous colonization of individuals of O. laevigatus from other greenhouses. 43!
