Official Lists and Indexes of Names and Works in Zoology OFFICIAL LISTS AND INDEXES OF NAMES AND WORKS IN ZOOLOGY Supplement 1986-2000 Edited by J. D. D. SMITH Copyright International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature 2001 ISBN 0 85301 007 2 Published by The International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature c/o The Natural History Museum Cromwell Road London SW7 5BD U.K. on behalf of lICZtN] The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 2001 STATUS OF ENTRIES ON OFFICIAL LISTS AND INDEXES OFFICIAL LISTS The status of names, nomenclatural acts and works entered in an Official List is regulated by Article 80.6 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. All names on Official Lists are available and they may be used as valid, subject to the provisions of the Code and to any conditions recorded in the relevant entries on the Official List or in the rulings recorded in the Opinions or Directions which relate to those entries. However, if a name on an Official List is given a different status by an adopted Part of the List of Available Names in Zoology the status in the latter is to be taken as correct (Article 80.8). A name or nomenclatural act occurring in a work entered in the Official List of Works Approved as Available for Zoological Nomenclature is subject to the provisions of the Code, and to any limitations which may have been imposed by the Commission on the use of that work in zoological nomenclature. OFFICIAL INDEXES The status of names, nomenclatural acts and works entered in an Official Index is regulated by Article 80.7 of the Code. Names entered in an Official Index may or may not be available, as determined by the relevant entries and by the rulings in the Opinions or Directions relating to those entries. Names entered in an Official Index cannot be used as valid, unless this is permitted by a ruling of the Commission or in the case of junior homonyms or junior objective synonyms by the rejection of the relevant senior names under the provisions of the Code. No name or nomenclatural act occurring in a work entered in the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Works in Zoological Nomenclature has any availability or validity in zoological nomenclature, unless the Commission has ruled otherwise. However, such a suppressed or rejected work may be used as a source of information relevant to zoological nomenclature unless the Commission has expressly ruled that the work is to be treated as unpublished. OFFICIAL LISTS AND INDEXES INTRODUCTORY NOTE The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature was founded in Leiden in 1895 during the 3rd International Congress of Zoology. It is devoted entirely to providing a service for the zoological and palaeontological community and has the task of stabilising and promoting uniformity in the nomenclature of animals without interfering with taxonomic freedom. To this end, the Commission publishes the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the 4th Edition of which came into effect on 1 January 2000 and contains the definitive rules for the application of zoological names. The Commission is empowered to suspend the rules when their strict application would cause confusion or would act against stability or universality in nomenclature. This can only be done by the use of the Commission's plenary power and after discussion with interested zoologists; such problems are discussed in the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature before the Commission reaches a final decision by means of a vote. The Commission's rulings are published in the Bulletin in the form of Opinions. The family-group, generic and specific names and the titles of works upon which the Commission has ruled are placed on the Commission's Official Lists or Official Indexes. In 1987 the International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature, which handles the Commission's publishing and financial affairs, published the Official Lists and Indexes of Names and Works in Zoology. That book gave details of all names and works which had been placed on the Official Lists and Indexes up to the end of 1985. The volume contained 9917 entries, 9783 being family-group, generic or specific names and 134 entries relating to works. In the 15 years 1986-2000 inclusive a further 601 Opinions and Directions have been published in the Bulletin, listing 2371 names and 14 works placed on the Official Lists and Indexes. Details of these 2385 entries are given in the present Supplement, together with emendments to the entries in the 1987 volume. Additional sections are (a) a table correlating the nominal type species of genera listed in the 1987 volume with the valid, but different, names of those species, (b) a systematic index of all names on the Official Lists in the 1987 volume and this Supplement, and (c) a bibliographic reference to Opinions and Directions summarised in this Supplement. A number of changes have been made in the layout for this Supplement. Family-group, generic and specific names have been grouped in one list rather than given separately as in the 1987 volume. Furthermore, the systematic group is shown for all names and not, as previously, only for names placed on the Official Lists. Two points made in the 1987 volume should be emphasised. First, names have been placed on the Official Lists and Indexes over a span of many years, and the varied wording of the entries reflects differing practices on the part of the Commission. Secondly, the 1987 volume inevitably contains some errors, most of which have been corrected when known. However, earlier authorships of some names (mainly at family-group level) have not been incorporated because the Commission and Secretariat have not had an opportunity to consider the implications, and in some systematic groups the earliest authorships have never been investigated in detail. Meanwhile, the Commission and Secretariat would welcome notification of errors for correction in any subsequent edition of the Official Lists and Indexes.

  • Identification of Females of the Finnish Species of Altica Muller (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)
    © Entomologica Fennica. 31.V.1993 Identification of females of the Finnish species of Altica Muller (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) Esko Kangast & Ilpo Rutanen Kangas, E. & Rutanen, I. 1993: Identification offemales of the Finnish species of Altica Muller (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae).- Entomol. Fennica 4:115- 129. The possible use of secondary genitalia (styles and spiculum ventrale) for the identification of females of Altica is investigated. Two identification keys are presented, one using both morphological and secondary genital characters and one using secondary genital characters only. The Finnish species are reviewed: A. cirsii Israelson is deleted, and A. quercetorum saliceti Weise and A. carduorum (Guerin-Meneville) are added to the Finnish list, now comprising 12 species. The geographical and temporal aspects of the distribution of the species in Finland is shown on UTM maps.

LASERON, F.R.Z.S. ilonorary Correspondent, Australian Museum. (Figures 1-13.) INTRODUOTION. Hedley in his Oheck List in 1918 recorded six '3pecies of this family as occurring in New South vVales. Since that time considerable revision in nomenclature has taken place, and some further material has come to hand. As descriptions and references to the family are very scattered in literature, the opportunity is now taken to bring them together, and to illustrate not only species new to science, but also all those which have already been described. It is felt that such papers are of great convenience to conchologists and form a base on which future work can be under­ taken. The complete check list of species from the Peronian zoogeographical province will now read as follows: Sydaphera ren01)atn Iredale obniJ';a Iredale anxifer Iredale deZicosa Laseron " scobina Hedley Trigonaphera vinn11,Za Iredale " interZaevis Laseron.

  • Checklist of the Mallophaga of North America (North of Mexico), Which Reflects the Taxonomic Studies Published Since That Date
    The Genera and Species of Mallopbaga of North America (North of Mexico) Part II. Suborder AMBLYCERA by K. C. Emerson, PhD. SKgT-SSTcTS'S-? SWW TO M"7-5001 PREFACE This volume is essentially a revision of my 1964 publication, Checklist of the Mallophaga of North America (north of Mexico), which reflects the taxonomic studies published since that date. Host criteria for the birds has been expanded to include consideration of all species listed in The A. 0. U. Checklist of North American Birds. Fifth Edition (1957). A few species of birds definitely known to be extinct are omitted from the listings of probable hosts, even though new species may still be found on museum skins. Mammal hosts considered remain those recorded in Millsr and Kellogg, List of North American Recent Mammals (1955), as; being found north of Mexico. Dr. Theresa Clay, British Museum (Natural History), ar.d especially Dr. Roger D. Price, University of Minnesota, during the last few years, have reviewed several genera of the Menoporidae; however, several of the larger genera are still in need of review. Unfortunately this volume could not be delayed until work on these genera is completed.

  • Ant-Like Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) of the Uk, Ireland and Channel Isles
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 99 ANT-LIKE FLOWER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ANTHICIDAE) OF THE UK, IRELAND AND CHANNEL ISLES DMITRY TELNOV Stopinu novads, Darza iela 10, LV-2130, Dzidrinas, Latvia; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Anthicidae or ant-like flower beetles of the UK, Ireland and Channel Isles are reviewed. A species list, identification key, short diagnoses and illustrations of all taxa are given. Brief information on known ecological preferences of species is given. Key words: identification, distribution, key, United Kingdom, Ireland, fauna, ecology. INTRODUCTION Anthicidae are a cosmopolitan family of small to medium-sized, fast-moving beetles of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Anthicidae are represented in the World fauna by approximately 100 genera, and about 3500 species (Chandler, 2010). Only a few species are known from the fossil record. The last revision of the British Anthicidae was published by F. D. Buck (1954) in the well-known series Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Since then, there have been numerous nomenclatural changes within Anthicidae, and some additional species (introduced) have been recorded from the UK, making Buck’s key out of date. During 2004 and 2005 a total of 3356 specimens of Anthicidae from the UK and Ireland were examined by the author, mainly from the collections of The Natural History Museum (London), Oxford University Museum of Natural History and National Museum of Ireland. Additional data for more than 2100 specimens were received from other British museums and private collections between 2005 and 2007. A new key and short diagnoses for the genera are presented, as well as data on habitats and general distribution of species.

  • Scottish Bees
    Scottish Bees Introduction to bees Bees are fascinating insects that can be found in a broad range of habitats from urban gardens to grasslands and wetlands. There are over 270 species of bee in the UK in 6 families - 115 of these have been recorded in Scotland, with 4 species now thought to be extinct and insufficient data available for another 2 species. Bees are very diverse, varying in size, tongue-length and flower preference. In the UK we have 1 species of honey bee, 24 species of bumblebee and the rest are solitary bees. They fulfil an essential ecological and environmental role as one of the most significant groups of pollinating insects, all of which we depend upon for the pollination of 80% of our wild and cultivated plants. Some flowers are in fact designed specifically for bee pollination, to the exclusion of generalist pollinators. Bees and their relatives Bees are classified in the complex insect order Hymenoptera (meaning membrane-winged), which also includes many kinds of parasitic wasps, gall wasps, hunting wasps, ants and sawflies. There are about 150,000 species of Hymenoptera known worldwide separated into two sub-orders. The first is the most primitive sub-order Symphyta which includes the sawflies and their relatives, lacking a wasp-waist and generally with free-living caterpillar-like larvae. The second is the sub-order Apocrita, which includes the ants, bees and wasps which are ’wasp-waisted’ and have grub-like larvae that develop within hosts, galls or nests. The sub-order Apocrita is in turn divided into two sections, the Parasitica and Aculeata.

For this aim, 31 bird specimens belonging to 23 bird species which were injured or died were examined for the louse infestation. Firstly, the feathers of each bird were inspected macroscopically, all observed louse specimens were collected and then the examined birds were treated with a synthetic pyrethroid spray (Biyo avispray-Biyoteknik®). The collected lice were placed into the tubes with 70% alcohol and mounted on slides with Canada balsam after being cleared in KOH 10%. Then the collected chewing lice were identified under the light microscobe. Eleven out of totally 31 (35.48%) birds were found to be infested with at least one chewing louse species. Eighteen lice species were found belonging to 16 genera on infested birds. Thirteen of 18 lice species; Actornithophilus piceus piceus (Denny, 1842); Anaticola phoenicopteri (Coincide, 1859); Anatoecus pygaspis (Nitzsch, 1866); Colpocephalum heterosoma Piaget, 1880; C. polonum Eichler and Zlotorzycka, 1971; Fulicoffula lurida (Nitzsch, 1818); Incidifrons fulicia (Linnaeus, 1758); Meromenopon meropis Clay ve Meinertzhagen, 1941; Meropoecus meropis (Denny, 1842); Pseudomenopon pilosum (Scopoli, 1763); Rallicola fulicia (Denny, 1842); Saemundssonia lari Fabricius, O, 1780), and Trinoton femoratum Piaget, 1889 have been recorded from Turkey for the first time.
