Peruvian Phasmids in the Manu National Park Robert Bradburne, 26 Royal Avenue, Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 2DB, UK. Abstract The article describes a five night trip to [he Manu National Park in South Eastern Peru in September of 2000. Phasmids were found at three different sites within the reserve between 500 and 1000 m in primary and secondary (disturbed) rainforest. The most common stick insects encountered were similar in appearance to the genera Ocnophiloidea and Pseudophasmn, with a few other larger species also found. No collections were made and therefore no formal identifications have been possible. Key words Phasmida, Peru, Manu, South America. I travelled to Peru in September 2000 with a group of six other friends. As part of this trip we had booked a six-day trip with Manu Expeditions (of Michael Palin's "Full Circle" and"Andes to Amazon" fame) to explore the world heritage zone of the Manu Biosphere Reserve.

ZooKeys 645: 1–11. https://doi.org/10.3897/ zookeys.645.10783 Abstract The euplantulae of species from all five genera of the Prisopodinae Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893 were examined using scanning electron microscopy with the aim to reveal the significance of attachment pads regarding their phylogenetic relationships. The split into the conventional two sister groups is supported by the two-lobed structure of the euplantulae with a smooth surface in the Prisopodini and a nubby surface microstructure in the Paraprisopodini. The two lineages are well distinguishable by this feature, as well as by the shape of the euplantulae themselves. The functional importance of the attachment pad surface features is discussed. Keywords Phasmatodea, tarsus, euplantulae, Neotropis, scanning electron microscopy Introduction The Prisopodinae Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893, which occur exclusively in Central and South America, were erected by Karny (1923) and include various species that were later transferred to other subfamilies.

Neue Studien haben gezeigt, dass häufi g eher die geografi sche Verbreitung als die traditionelle Klas- sifi kation und morphologische Ähnlichkeit die evolutionären Beziehungen innerhalb der Stab- und Gespenstschrecken widerspiegelt. Adaptive Radiationen in geographisch isolierten Gegenden haben zur Evolution zahlreicher konvergenter Formen geführt, beispielsweise zu den bodenbewohnenden „Baumhummern“ in der pazifi schen Region. Neben der basalen Aufspaltung der Phasmatodea in die artenarme Timema (21 spp.) und die stärker diversen Euphasmatodea (>3000 spp.) ist die Radia- tion der weiteren Teilgruppen weitgehend unerforscht. Molekulare Daten haben gezeigt, dass die Euphasmatodea zu Beginn eine rasche Radiation erfahren haben, die sich über einen verhältnismä- ßig kurzen Zeitraum im Eozän ereignete und zu den wesentlichen rezenten Linien führte. Daher gestaltet sich die Aufklärung der frühen Evolution der Phasmatodea, z.

The Phasmid Study Group (PSG) was formed in 1980 to foster the study of phasmids. The group currently has several hundred members worldwide. The membership ranges from young children to professional entomologists. The PSG holds regular meetings and presents displays at all the major entomological exhibitions in the U.K. The PSG places emphasis on study by rearing and captive breeding and has a panel of breeders who distribute livestock to other members. The PSG produces two publications which are issued free to members. The Phasmid Study Group Newsletter is issued quarterly and contains news items, livestock information, details of exhibitions and meetings, and a variety of short articles on all aspects of phasmids. Phasmid Studies is issued on-line and in print. Typically it is produced biannually, in March and September. It contains longer articles on all aspects of phasmids, with an emphasis on natural history, captive breeding, taxonomy, and behavioural studies. Each issue contains abstracts of papers from other recent publications. Electronic copies of Phasmid Studies are deposited in the following libraries: British Library, U.K.; Hope Library, Oxford University Museum of Natural History, UK; Nottingham University Library, UK.
