Jatropha curcas has been introduced into Niger since 2004 by International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT). This plant is cultivated for its oil, which can be used as a Biofuel. Through direct and indirect insect collection meth- ods, an inventory of the insect associated with J. curcas has been conducted in Western Niger during two rainy seasons (from June to October) in 2010 and 2011. We have identified insects belonging to the following families: Acrididae (Oedaleus senegalensis Krauss, 15 Oedaleus nigeriensis Uvarov, Heteracris leani Uvarov, Catantops stramineus Walker, Parga cyanoptera Uvarov, and Acanthacris ruficor- nis citrina Audinet-Serville), Pyrgomorphidae (Poekilocerus bufonius hieroglyphicus Klug), Cetoniidae (Pachnoda interrupta Olivier, Pachnoda marginata aurantia Herbst, Pachnoda sinuata Heinrich and McClain, and Rhabdotis sobrina Gory and Percheron), Meloidae (Decapotoma lunata Pallas), Pentatomidae (Agonoscelis versicoloratus Dallas, Nezara viridula Linn, and Antestia sp.

May And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION THE LIFE HISTORY, BEHAVIOR AND CONSERVATION OF THE TIGER SPIKETAIL DRAGONFLY (CORDULEGASTER ERRONEA HAGEN) IN NEW JERSEY by DAVID PAUL MOSKOWITZ Dissertation Director: Dr. Michael L. May This dissertation explores the life history and behavior of the Tiger Spiketail dragonfly (Cordulegaster erronea Hagen) and provides recommendations for the conservation of the species. Like most species in the genus Cordulegaster and the family Cordulegastridae, the Tiger Spiketail is geographically restricted, patchily distributed with its range, and a habitat specialist in habitats susceptible to disturbance. Most Cordulegastridae species are also of conservation concern and the Tiger Spiketail is no exception. However, many aspects of the life history of the Tiger Spiketail and many other Cordulegastridae are poorly understood, complicating conservation strategies. In this dissertation, I report the results of my research on the Tiger Spiketail in New Jersey. The research to investigate life history and behavior included: larval and exuvial sampling; radio- telemetry studies; marking-resighting studies; habitat analyses; observations of ovipositing females and patrolling males, and the presentation of models and insects to patrolling males.

Résumé Jatropha curcas L. est un arbuste de la famille des Euphorbiacées originaire d’Amérique centrale. Cette plante est cultivée pour son huile, valorisée dans la production de biocarburant. Cette huile possède également une activité insecticide qui constitue un second volet de valorisation de la plante. Malgré la toxicité de la plante, de nombreux insectes causent des dégâts non négligeables au niveau des inflorescences, fruits et/ou des feuilles, réduisant considérablement le rendement en graine et la qualité de l’huile. La première partie de ce travail a consisté en la réalisation d’inventaires de ces insectes au Niger durant la période de juin à octobre, en 2010 et en 2011. Les principaux insectes ravageurs de J. curcas au Niger incluent les familles des Acrididae (Oedaleus senegalensis, O. nigeriensis , Heteracris leani, Parga cyanoptera , Catantops stramineus et Acanthacris ruficornis citrina ), Cetoniidae (Pachnoda interrupta, P.

This paper reports the collecting of adult beetles and third-instar larvae of Coelocorynus desfontainei Antoine, 1999 in Cameroon and provides new data on the biology of this high-altitude Afromontane genus. It also presents the first diagnosis of this genus based on larval characters and examination of its systematic position in a phylogenetic context using 78 parsimony informa- tive larval and adult characters. Based on the results of our analysis we (1) support the hypothesis that the tribe Trichiini is paraphy- letic with respect to both Valgini and the rest of the Cetoniinae, and (2) propose that the Trichiini subtribe Cryptodontina, represented by Coelocorynus, is a sister group of the Valgini: Valgina, represented by Valgus. The larvae-only analyses were about twofold better than the adults-only analyses in providing a phylogenetic resolution consistent with the larvae + adults analyses.

  • The Identity of the Finnish Osmoderma (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae) Population Established by COI Sequencing
    © Entomologica Fennica. 8 October 2013 The identity of the Finnish Osmoderma (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae) population established by COI sequencing Matti Landvik, Niklas Wahlberg & Tomas Roslin Landvik, M., Wahlberg, N. & Roslin, T. 2013: The identity of the Finnish Osmo- derma (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae) population established by COI se- quencing. — Entomol. Fennica 24: 147–155. The hermit beetle Osmoderma eremita (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) is a flagship species for invertebrate conservation efforts by the European Union. This taxon has recently been revealed as a species complex likely encompassing five cryptic species. The northernmost population of Osmoderma is found on the island of Ruissalo in Turku, Finland. This population has been protected as species O. eremita, but its true species affinity has never been established. To resolve its identity, we sequenced the mitochondrial COI gene from seven specimens samp- led in Ruissalo. Based on a phylogenetic hypothesis generated from the se- quences combined with previously published data, the Finnish hermit beetle was identified as Osmoderma barnabita. Information regarding the ecology and life cycle of O. eremita should then not uncritically be assumed to apply to the Finn- ish population. Rather, the Finnish population should be treated as a separate en- tity in conservation and management of European Osmoderma. M.

  • Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae)
    Zootaxa 3003: 63–68 (2011) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2011 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Description of a second species in the enigmatic Southeast Asian genus Platygeniops (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) STANISLAV JÁKL1 & JAN KRIKKEN2 1Cisovice 54, 25204 Praha-Západ, Czech Republic. E-mail: [email protected] 2National Museum of Natural History Naturalis, PO Box 9517, 2300RA Leiden, The Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A second species of Platygeniops Krikken, 1978 (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Trichiini: Osmodermatina) is described from the Myanmar-Thai-Malay isthmus and peninsula. The description of Platygeniops elongatus new species is based on two males and a female. The new species is compared with P. exspectans Krikken, 1978 from the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. The genus is re-diagnosed and its enigmatic status is briefly discussed. Key words: Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea, Trichiini, Platygeniops, new species, Southeast Asia Introduction Right from its creation, the monotypic Southeast Asian genus Platygeniops Krikken, 1978 has been considered an odd element in the Trichiini. At the time, for the lack of alternatives, it seemed most similar to the well known, Holarctic, saproxylic hermit beetle genus Osmoderma LePeletier & Serville, 1828. As a consequence, Platygeni- ops was classified and remains in the Osmodermatina—irrespective of subsequent assertions on group ranking, hierarchy, and composition (Krikken 1984, 2009). In spite of recent studies, including synoptic work such as Scholtz & Grebennikov (2005) and Hunt et al. (2007), the position of Platygeniops in the classification system has remained fuzzy—one reason being that rare oddities like this are not usually taken into account.

  • Click Beetles and Pheromones Œ an Overview
    Click beetles and pheromones – an overview Miklós Tóth Plant Protection Institute, HAS, Budapest, Hungary Wireworms, the larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are important soil-dwelling polyphagous pests all over the world. www.photoshelter.com www.naturamediterraneo.com Traditional forecast and monitoring involves labour-intensive soil sampling methods, Photo L. Furlan and to obtain wireworms from soil samples collected is time-consuming (several days or more). Photo L. Furlan Pheromone-baited traps are much easier and simpler to use. However, the pheromone composition should be identified first! Photo M. Tóth On the picture: the YF trap design specifically developed for pheromone trapping of click beetles (Furlan Inform. Fitopat. 10:49. (2004) Pheromone structures - first identifications The very first chemical structures elucidated from click beetles (female- produced pheromone) were organic acids O O OH OH valeric acid (pentanoic caproic acid (hexanoic acid) acid) Limonius californicus Limonius canus Jacobson Science 159:208 Butler Environ. Entomol. 4:229 (1968) (1975) Limonius californicus www.bugguide.net Pheromone structures - geranyl/farnesyl esters Starting from the eighties, a number of geranyl and farnesyl esters were identified mainly by scientists from the Soviet Union. Example structures: O O O O geranyl butyrate (E,E)-farnesyl acetate [(E)-3,7)-dimethyl-2,6- [(E)-3,7,11)-trimethyl-2,6,10- octadienyl butyrate] dodecatrienyl acetate] i.e. A. sputator i.e. A. ustulatus First report on similar structures from: Oleschenko, 1979, cited in Kamm, Coleopt. Bull. 37:16 (1983) Pheromone structures - geranyl/farnesyl esters Permutations and combinations of such compounds are present in the pheromones of several Agriotes spp.

  • Burmese Amber Taxa
    Burmese (Myanmar) amber taxa, on-line checklist v.2017.1 Andrew J. Ross 28/02/2017 Principal Curator of Palaeobiology Department of Natural Sciences National Museums Scotland Chambers St. Edinburgh EH1 1JF E-mail: [email protected] http://www.nms.ac.uk/collections-research/collections-departments/natural-sciences/palaeobiology/dr- andrew-ross/ This taxonomic list is based on Ross et al (2010) plus non-arthropod taxa and published papers up to the end of 2016. It does not contain unpublished records or records from papers in press (including on-line proofs) or unsubstantiated on-line records. Often the final versions of papers were published on-line the year before they appeared in print, so the on-line published year is accepted and referred to accordingly. Note, the authorship of species does not necessarily correspond to the full authorship of papers where they were described. The latest high level classification is used where possible though in some cases conflicts were encountered, usually due to cladistic studies, so in these cases an older classification was adopted for convenience. The classification for Hexapoda follows Nicholson et al. (2015), plus subsequent papers. † denotes extinct orders and families. The list comprises 31 classes (or similar rank), 85 orders (or similar rank), 375 families, 530 genera and 643 species. This includes 6 classes, 54 orders, 342 families, 482 genera and 591 species of arthropods. Some previously recorded families have since been synonymised or relegated to subfamily level- these are included in

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A hypothesized evolutionary history of the North American endemic trichiine scarab genus Trichiotinus is presented including all eight species and three outgroup taxa. Data from nineteen morphological traits and CO1 and 28S gene sequences were used to construct phylogenies using both parsimony and Bayesian algorithms. All results show that Trichiotinus is monophyletic. The best supported topology shows that the basal species T. lunulatus is sister to the remaining taxa that form two clades, with four and three species each. The distribution of one lineage is relatively northern while the other is generally more southern. The ancestral Trichiotinus lineage arose from 23.8–14.9 mya, and east-west geographic partitioning of ancestral populations likely resulted in cladogenesis and new species creation, beginning as early as 10.6–6.2 mya and as recently as 1.2–0.7 mya.
