    The Distribution and Relative Seasonal Abundance of the Indiana Species of Agrionidae (Odonata: Zygoptera) B. Elwood Montgomery, Purdue University In a previous paper (Montgomery, 1942) the relative seasonal abundance of the adults of the 16 species of Enallagma known from Indiana, based upon the frequency of collection during 41 years (1900- 1940 inclusive) was indicated. That study is extended here to include the remaining 16 species of the family Agrionidae recorded from the state. <I3jXEEEKE> Fig. 1. The range of the flight season (or period of adult life) and the relative seasonal abundance of 16 species of Agrionidae (genera Argia, Nehalen- nia, Amphiagrion, Chromagrion, Ischnura and Anonialagrion ) in Indiana. Col- lections made from 1900 to 1940 inclusive were tabulated by thirds of months and the graphs constructed from the resulting frequency distributions. Numbers near each bar indicate the number of collections of each species in each third of a month ; where no number is given the number of collections is one. 179 180 Indiana Academy of Science Records of almost all Odonata collected or observed in Indiana since 1900 have been preserved in the note books of the late E. B. Williamson and of the author. The records for the species of the genera Argia, Nehalennia, Amphiagrion, Chromagrion, Ischnura, and Anomalagrion have been tabulated and the accompanying chart (Figure 1) indicates the relative abundance of the different species throughout the season of adult flight. As this study applies only to adults, all references to seasonal range and abundance in this paper refer to the period of adult flight. The records of captures (or observations) were tabulated by thirds of months and the time-frequency graph for each species was con- structed by plotting the frequency for each third at the midpoint (5th, 15th and 25th of the month, respectively) of the third of the time axis.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

Ecologically Delhi is nestled between two different types of topology, one is rugged Aravalli hill range and its typical scrub forest, another is the Yamuna River and its fertile alluvial flood plains. This type of topology makes many micro habitat zones in between these two large ecological landscapes. Delhi being a gardened island of greenery in a very extensive semi desert region on one part of Delhi to the semi-flowing River Yamuna on the other side permits an easy and discrete study of sub localities. The present compilation of butterfly fauna is a long term study since 2012 onwards, through various months’ long systematic surveys and review of the existing literature on butterfly of Delhi region. It reports total 115 species of butterfly from Delhi till date. Keywords: lepidoptera, rhopalocera, butterflies, aravalli range, yamuna floodplain, Delhi ridge, Delhi 1.
