Larval morphology confirms a close relationship between these genera as they differ only in minor characters. Key words: Larval morphology, Neuropterida, Myrmecaelurini, Gepini, antlion, Western Palaearctic Introduction Gepus Navás, 1912 and Solter Navás, 1912 are two closely related genera of Myrmeleontidae, representing a characteristic element of the antlion fauna of the arid and desert environments of the south-western Palaearctic region. Gepus is a small genus, comprising 6 valid species (Hölzel 1983) distributed in the Sahara desert and Middle East.

This addition increases the number of British species of the order Zygentoma from two to three, all in the family Lepismatidae. INTRODUCTION Silverfish, firebrats and bristletails were formerly grouped in a single order, the Thysanura (Delany, 1954), but silverfish and firebrats are now recognized as belonging to a separate order, the Zygentoma (Barnard, 2011).

Bach de Roca Molero–Baltanás, R., Gaju–Ricart, M. & Bach de Roca, C., 2005. Ctenolepisma almeriensis n. sp. of Lepismatidae (Insecta, Zygentoma) from south–eastern Spain. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 28.1: 91–99. Abstract Ctenolepisma almeriensis n. sp. of Lepismatidae (Insecta, Zygentoma) from south–eastern Spain.— Ctenolepisma almeriensis n. sp., from the south–eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula is described. This species was determined previously as Ctenolepisma lineata (Fabricius, 1775), which is widespread over the south–western Palaeartic region. The main difference between the two species is the setation of thoracic sternites. In each bristle–comb of the mesosternum and the metasternum, macrosetae are arranged in a single row in C. lineata and in two parallel rows in C. almeriensis n. sp. In the prosternum, the first species shows 1–2 irregular lines of macrosetae per comb, and the new species shows 2–3 lines. Based on other parameters of setation, a discriminant analysis was carried out to separate a group of Spanish specimens of C. lineata from another group of specimens of the new species. This analysis demonstrated the validity of the occurrence of double or single lines of macrosetae in thoracic sternites to distinguish between the two species. Key words: Ctenolepisma almeriensis n. sp., Ctenolepisma lineata, Spain, Thysanura, New species, Arid regions fauna Resumen Ctenolepisma almeriensis sp. n. de Lepismatidae (Insecta, Zygentoma) de España suroriental.— Se describe Ctenolepisma almeriensis sp.

    Genetic variability of Gray Silverfish Ctenolepisma longicaudata and Ghost Silverfish C. calva in infested collections worldwide (GEVAFISH) Bill Landsberger Rathgen Research Laboratory - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Thomas von Rintelen Museum für Naturkunde Berlin - Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science The aim of this contribution is to provide information on a current joint research project of the Rathgen Research Laboratory, National Museums in Berlin and the Natural History Museum Berlin, to investigate how the Gray Silverfish Ctenolepisma longicaudata and the Ghost Silverfish Ctenolepisma calva are spread and where the natural areas of distribution are. For this purpose, samples from many different sites are to be analyzed regarding their genetic variability. 1 Common Silverfish Lepisma saccharina Gray Silverfish Ctenolepisma longicaudata Linneus, 1758 Escherich, 1905 Images: BayHStA Of about 500 species in the Order Zygentoma worldwide, almost not more than four can cause a serious threat to museum collections, the Common Silverfish Lepisma saccharina, the Gray Silverfish Ctenolepisma longicaudata, the Four-lined Silverfish Ctenolepisma lineata 2 Ghost Silverfish Ctenolepisma calva (Ritter, 1910) and the Ghost Silverfish Ctenolepisma calva. Now, however, the Gray Silverfish seems to be the most important and invasive. At temperate climates in the middle latitudes, the Gray Silverfish is cosmopolitan and synanthropic, dependent on indoor conditions. Its natural origin and habitats are still unknown. 3 Records (n

The contents of each chapter generally reflect the special interests of the contributors.

ON SOME ZYGENTOMA (INSECTA) FROM BRAZIL WITH DESCRIPTION OF ONE NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS HETEROLEPISMA ESCHERICH, 1905 (LEPISMATIDAE) Luis F. Mendes Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical, Jardim Botânico Tropical (IICT / JBT) - Zoologia. R. da Junqueira, 14, 1300-343 Lisboa. Portugal – [email protected] Abstract: A new species of the genus Heterolepisma (Zygentoma: Lepismatidae) is described based on material obtained in Paraíba State, eastern Brazil, and compared with the most similar species as well as with the other known species of the genus known from the Neotropical Region. Samples of other Lepismatidae and Nicoletiidae (Zygentoma) are studied from Amazonas and Rio Grande do Norte States. Namunukulina, N. funambuli and Ctenolepisma targioniana are reported as new to Brazil. Key words: Zygentoma, Lepismatidae, Heterolepisma, new species, new records, Brazil.

Se estudian también muestras de Lepismatidae y de Nicoletiidae (Zygentoma) reco- gidas en los Estados de Amazonas y Rio Grande do Norte. Namunukulina, N. funambuli y Ctenolepisma

  • Respiratory Physiology of Urban Insects by Zachary Curran Devries a Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn Universit
    Respiratory Physiology of Urban Insects By Zachary Curran DeVries A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama August 3, 2013 Keywords: Bed bug, Firebrat, Metabolism, Respirometry, Silverfish Copyright 2013 by Zachary Curran DeVries Approved by Arthur G. Appel, Chair, Professor of Entomology Nannan Liu, Professor of Entomology Xing Ping Hu, Professor of Entomology Stephen A. Kells, Associate Professor of Entomology (University of Minnesota) Abstract Respiratory physiology of urban insects was studied. Specific urban insect pests studied included silverfish, Lepisma saccharina L., firebrats, Thermobia domestica (Packard), and bed bugs, Cimex lectularius L. All of these species frequently infest human dwellings and are unusual in their ability to survive extended periods of starvation, sometimes more than a year. Closed system respirometry was used to measure the standard metabolic rate (SMR) of silverfish, firebrats, and bed bugs. Closed system respirometry was also used to measure the post-feeding and post-molting metabolic rates of the common bed bug. SMR results indicated distinct differences both within and among species. Post-feeding and post-molting metabolism results indicated a pattern in respiratory decline during starvation possibly unique to bed bugs. All results were interpreted with respect to the life histories of the insects being studied. ii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Arthur Appel for his guidance, assistance, and support throughout my Master’s degree. I also thank my committee, Dr. Xing Ping Hu, Dr. Nannan Liu, and Dr. Steve Kells for their helpful suggestions and criticism of my work.
