The Diamphipnoidae has 3 genera and 6 species, the Eustheniidae, 2 genera and 2 species, the Austroperlidae, 3 genera and 4 species, the Gripopterygidae, 28 genera and 85 species, the Notonemouridae, 4 genera and 18 species and the Perlidae, 10 genera and 393 species, the majority (332 species) in the genus Anacroneuria.

More than 30 papers and posters were presented and much fruitful discussion occurred. An enjoyable field trip to the Colorado Rockies took place on Sunday, May 19th, and the weather was excellent. Boris was such a good host that it was difficult to leave, but many participants traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico to attend the annual meetings of the North American Benthological Society. Bill Stark gave us a way to remember this meeting by producing a T-shirt with a unique “Spirit Fly” design. ANNOUNCEMENT 11th International Stonefly Symposium Stan Szczytko has planned and organized an excellent symposium that will be held at the Tree Haven Biological Station, University of Wisconsin in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, USA. The registration cost of $300 includes lodging, meals, field trip and a T- Shirt. This is a real bargain so hopefully many colleagues and friends will come and participate in the symposium August 17-20, 1992. Stan has promised good weather and good friends even though he will not guarantee that stonefly adults will be collected during the field trip. Printed August 1992 1 OBITUARIES RODNEY L.

E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2Weihai Li, Department of Plant Protection, Henan Institute of Science and Technology, Xinxiang, Henan, 453003 China. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The monotypic Taiwanese genus Mesoperla Klapálek, 1913 is redescribed on the basis of a male syntype specimen, and its affinities are re-evaluated. The single female type specimen of further two Oriental monotypic genera, Kalidasia Klapálek, 1914 and Nirvania Klapálek, 1914, are confirmed to be lost or destroyed respectively; both genera are considered as nomina dubia. The Sichuan endemic Acroneuria grahami Wu & Claassen, 1934 is redescribed on the basis of male holotype. Distinctive characters of the genus Brahmana Klapálek, 1914 consisting of five, inadequately known Oriental species are discussed. Flavoperla needhami (Klapálek, 1916) and Sinacroneuria sinica (Yang & Yang, 1998) comb. novae are suggested for an Indian species originally described in Gibosia Okamoto, 1912 and a Chinese species originally described in Acroneuria Pictet, 1841. At present, 62 species of Acroneuriinae, classified in 10 valid genera are reported from the Oriental Realm but 29 species are inadequately known. A key is presented to distinguish males of the Asian Acroneuriinae genera. Asian distribution of each genera are detailed and depicted on a map.

Accepted 23 December, 2010 Adult stoneflies (Plecoptera) were light-trapped monthl from January to December 2008 in Tupah River, Kedah, Malaysia. Two families of Plecoptera, Perlidae and Nemouridae were represented with nine species. More Plecoptera was collected in the wet seasons especially for the family Nemouridae. Neoperla asperata was a common species that occurred throughout the year. Neoperla fallax was equally common but this species was absent during early part of the year. The percentage of females was higher than male for all species of Plecoptera collected. Key words: Upstream river, Plecoptera, season, sex ratio, peninsular Malaysia. INTRODUCTION Plecoptera are primitive group of insects also known as valued and plentiful food source for bats and birds that stoneflies or salmonflies.

Reprinted from the Canadian Entomologist, February, 1921. rcin.org.pl rcin.org.pl A NEW CLASSIFICATION OF THE ORDER PERLARIA. BY R. J. TILLYARD, M. A. Sc. D. (Cantab.) D. Sc. (Sydney), F. L. S., F. E. S., Chief of the Biological Department, Cawthron Institute of Scientific Research,. Nelson, New Zealand. For some years past I have been studying the Perlaria of Australia and New Zealand, about which little has been made known up to the present. Taken in connection with the forms already described from Southern Chile, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and the Subantartic Islands, these insects form a very distinct Notogaean Fauna, clearly marked off from the Perlaria of the Northern Hemis­ phere and of the Tropics by the fact that it is made up almost entirely of very archaic types. No representatives of the highly, specialized Perlidae (including Perlodidae) occur in these regions; no Pteronarcidae, in the strict sense in which that family will be defined in this paper; no Capniidae, Taeniopterygidae or Leuctridae; and only one or two isolated forms of Nemouridae (genus Udamocercia of Enderlein). In attempting to classify the known Notogaean forms of Perlaria, I have had recourse not only to all available imaginal characters, but also to as care­ ful a study of the individual life-histories as the rareness of most of the forms would permit.

These insects had small wing-like lateral expansions of the prothorax, and a fairly well- developed posterior (concave) median vein in both wings, both of which have been lost in modern stoneflies. Developments in some of the mor- phological features which have been most studied are as follows: Nymphal mouth parts: The holognathous families are characterized by bulky mandibles, by short thick palpi, and by having the paraglossae and glossae of the labium about equal in length.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

Arthropods, as the most species-rich and morphologically disparate animal phylum, have received substantial attention, particularly with regard to questions such as the timing of habitat shifts (e.g. terrestrialisation), genome evolution (e.g. gene family duplication and functional evolution), origins of novel characters and behaviours (e.g. wings and flight, venom, silk), biogeography, rate of diversification (e.g. Cambrian explosion, insect coevolution with angiosperms, evolution of crab body plans), and the evolution of arthropod microbiomes. We present herein a series of rigorously vetted calibration fossils for arthropod evolutionary history, taking into account recently published guidelines for best practice in fossil calibration.

Most can also be reliably identified at reference (undisturbed or least disturbed by human activity) to species, using available identification keys for Australian river sites in Victoria. Victoria is the only state that has taxa (Hawking, 2000). gathered species level invertebrate data for streams and rivers. Other states have also conducted extensive river sampling but We do not comment on each map. To do so would turn this their invertebrate material has usually only been identified to essentially simple mapping exercise into a biogeographic the family level (Simpson and Norris, 2000).
