Building-Up of a DNA Barcode Library for True Bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of Germany Reveals Taxonomic Uncertainties and Surprises
Building-Up of a DNA Barcode Library for True Bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of Germany Reveals Taxonomic Uncertainties and Surprises Michael J. Raupach1*, Lars Hendrich2*, Stefan M.

In the case of insects, most published DNA barcoding studies focus on species of the Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera and especially Lepidoptera. In this study we test the efficiency of DNA barcoding for true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), an ecological and economical highly important as well as morphologically diverse insect taxon. As part of our study we analyzed DNA barcodes for 1742 specimens of 457 species, comprising 39 families of the Heteroptera. We found low nucleotide distances with a minimum pairwise K2P distance ,2.2% within 21 species pairs (39 species). For ten of these species pairs (18 species), minimum pairwise distances were zero. In contrast to this, deep intraspecific sequence divergences with maximum pairwise distances .2.2% were detected for 16 traditionally recognized and valid species. With a successful identification rate of 91.5% (418 species) our study emphasizes the use of DNA barcodes for the identification of true bugs and represents an important step in building-up a comprehensive barcode library for true bugs in Germany and Central Europe as well. -

Rabitsch Federal Environment Agency, Spittelauer Lände 5, A-1090 Wien, Austria. E-mail: [email protected] Department of Evolutionary Biology, University of Vienna, Althanstraße 14, A-1090 Wien, Austria. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT During the past approximate 25 years 84 Heteroptera species were published for the fi rst time for Austria. Th ese species account for 9.4 % of the 896 Heteroptera species currently known to occur in Austria and means that species were added at a rate of more than 3 per year, including previously overlooked species. Two thirds of the species (68 %) were overlooked for taxonomic reasons or because of their cryptic appearance or biol- ogy; the remaining species (32 %) are considered new arrivals. Excluding single records, 18 species (21 %) are considered established new arrivals. Th is is a rate of 0.72 species establishing per year. Most of these species are generally expanding their distribution and increasing in abundance in Austria and elsewhere in Europe and most species reached Austria probably due to current favourable climatic conditions (14 species), followed by species introduced with ornamental plants or transport (4 species). Th e dominance of arboricolous, phytophagous species with a high degree of host plant specialization cor- roborates previous fi ndings. -

INTRODUCTION Ce document présente une liste des punaises trouvées dans le territoire du Québec et ses régions adjacentes. Elle résulte d’une revue de la littérature entomologique, d’un inventaire de collections appartenant à des organismes publics et à des entomologistes et d’une recherche sur internet. Provancher fut le premier à publier, de 1885 à 1890, un ouvrage d’identification des punaises pour le Canada, mais il donne très peu d’information sur la répartition des espèces. Uhler (1917) cite 163 espèces pour la province et 286 autres dans les régions adjacentes. Fournier (1950) mentionne que Moore (1950) catalogua 560 espèces et variétées. Hutchinson (1979), en se basant seulement sur la littérature entomologique, produisit une liste préliminaire de 101 punaises aquatiques et subaquatiques du Québec, mais cette liste comporte de nombreuses erreurs. Larochelle (1984) publia un important ouvrage d’identification sur les punaises terrestres du Québec, rapportant 488 espèces; en outre, il annexe une liste de 283 espèces et sous-espèces pouvant se rencontrer dans la province. -

Rajburicoris stysi gen. nov. and sp. nov. from Thailand is described and the male and female genitalia are examined and illustrated. A review of the diagnostic characters of the tribe Cardiastethini Carayon, 1972, nom. restit., is given. The systematic position of the controversial genus Dufouriellus Kirkaldy, 1906, is discussed and the genus is transferred to Anthocorini; Dufouriellini Van Duzee, 1916, syn. nov., becomes a junior synonym of Anthocorini. Key words. Heteroptera, Anthocoridae, Cardiastethini, Dufouriellus, Rajburicoris stysi, taxonomy, new genus, new species, Thailand Introduction The tribe Cardiastethini was erected by CARAYON (1972) and characterized mainly by the vestigial female genitalia; it is distributed worldwide and includes 15 genera. ŠTYS (1975) noted that the valid name of the tribe was Dufouriellini because one of the genera included by Carayon in his new tribe, Dufouriellus Kirkaldy, 1906, was the type genus of Dufouriellinae Van Duzee, 1916. The results of our studies of the Anthocoridae sensu lato and particularly of the genus Cardiastethus Fieber, 1860, and its relatives have been only partially published with the description of a new genus (CARPINTERO & DELLAPÉ 2006). -

Diversity and Distribution of Arthropods in Native Forests of the Azores Archipelago
Diversity and distribution of arthropods in native forests of the Azores archipelago CLARA GASPAR1,2, PAULO A.V. BORGES1 & KEVIN J. GASTON2 Gaspar, C., P.A.V. Borges & K.J. Gaston 2008. Diversity and distribution of arthropods in native forests of the Azores archipelago. Arquipélago. Life and Marine Sciences 25: 01-30. Since 1999, our knowledge of arthropods in native forests of the Azores has improved greatly. Under the BALA project (Biodiversity of Arthropods of Laurisilva of the Azores), an extensive standardised sampling protocol was employed in most of the native forest cover of the Archipelago. Additionally, in 2003 and 2004, more intensive sampling was carried out in several fragments, resulting in nearly a doubling of the number of samples collected. A total of 6,770 samples from 100 sites distributed amongst 18 fragments of seven islands have been collected, resulting in almost 140,000 specimens having been caught. Overall, 452 arthropod species belonging to Araneae, Opilionida, Pseudoscorpionida, Myriapoda and Insecta (excluding Diptera and Hymenoptera) were recorded. Altogether, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Araneae and Lepidoptera comprised the major proportion of the total diversity (84%) and total abundance (78%) found. Endemic species comprised almost half of the individuals sampled. Most of the taxonomic, colonization, and trophic groups analysed showed a significantly left unimodal distribution of species occurrences, with almost all islands, fragments or sites having exclusive species. Araneae was the only group to show a strong bimodal distribution. Only a third of the species was common to both the canopy and soil, the remaining being equally exclusive to each stratum. Canopy and soil strata showed a strongly distinct species composition, the composition being more similar within the same stratum regardless of the location, than within samples from both strata at the same location. -
