n-;-I'R00uCTION
·:�hen the applicant was awarded a -Sir '.'lalter :wlhol land l<'ellovrship in i 966, the opportunity arose for a post-doctoral fel lowship at tne University of �)ritish
Columbia, TJancouver, C ar.ad a, where Profezsor G. G. E.
Scudder vvas , aiJd still is, working on the lygaeid sub family P.h;yrparochrominae of the ·:;orld. Here vms the char;.ce to work on a large, difficult genus containing species from many different parts of the world, and thus ma�e a major contribution in t�is area. The cho ice was between Dieuches Dohrn and Fachybrachius I-Iehr. because no other genus ir! the Rhyparochro:Einae contains anyth ing like the nunlber of species contained by these two ger..era. The complex genus Dieuches was selected.
On accom1t of his teaching and other duties, Professor
Scudder' s available time for research was not UI1limit,. ed, and as he put it, it woul d be a great help to him to have that ger,us tho roughly revised.
:i.y trair.ing has been on Hemiptera, farr:ily Lygaeid2e, with an i ... Agr.Sc. tL e sis ( Masse y 1958) en ;:;Jsius huttoni (��ite) - subfamily Orsillinae, and a Ph.D. thesis (University of London, 1962) on some Rhyparo chro:ninae with special r ef ere nce . to t!1eir f2eding habits.
Before, durinc, ar•d C3.nt on R!-,yperochrominae ( I\ew Zealand and overseas species). Since then I have also published original 2 contributions o:·, rs;; Zeo.l&�d Ctrsillina e a�d. on ... iriJae. -:'nus there are t.:::.ree t:neraes - Lygdeidae : Rhyparo chrominae, Lyr;aeidae : Crsillir"ae (New Zeal<:�d), LLd !'i.iridae (meir:ly l';ew lealand). T£1e three major contri l butions in this application for the Degree of Doctor I of Science (:.�assey u!l.iversity) are the monograph of �ches, the revisio� of Rhypodes St.n, and the re vision of Chinamiris Woodward (a major work on each theme). There follow supporting papers on each of these !themes, plus some supporting papers on other He:miptera 1 and some on insects in other Orders. I The introduction of each of the three major contri ·butions sets out the aim and importance of the work. Assistance received is listed in acknowledgements. This has also been done in the supporting papers. Lygaeidae : Rhyparochrominae Theme ���onograph of Dieuches The mo�ograph of Dieuches is a major contrib ution to our knowledge of these insects. It describes and keys 131 species, 71 of them new to science. The genus had not been revised as an entity for a complete cent ury. h!;any early descriptions were inadequate, and the re w-as no E..ey to all the des cri bed species in the genus. The aim of the study was to set limits of the genus, and carefully distinguish Dieuches from closely related �nera, as well as to provide accur�te drawings, good descriptions and a �ey to species to facilitate identi fication. All of the drawings, ir.cluding habitus draw- 3 �ngs (except the frontispiece) were done by the appli c;ant. Perhaps one of the features of the monograph of Dieuches (and the Rhypodes revision) is the numerical taxonomic analysis. This technique was only beginning to be seriously applied about the time the monograph of Dieuches was published, 1973 (and about a handful of years before).1 There were some "knotty11 problems to solve because of misidentifications and erroneous synon.my in the past - for example, determining what true Dieuches armatipes (Walker) was. All that remains of the hole type is the head, prothorax, first antennal segment and one foreleg (see pages 102-103 and 106-107). For • other problems and their solutions (where there was previously confusion with other species) see comments under D.armipes (F.) and its complex, D.patruelis (St81), D.longicollis (Dallas), D.alternatus Horvath (other records), D.femoralis Dohrn, D.herero Breddin and D.oceanicus (Distant). The monograph of Dieuches was well received, as in dicated in excerpts from some book reviews cited below. 2 "This is a model revision of this difficult genus. I find little to fault it. Closely related genera are carefully distinguished from Dieuches. There is a ...______ 1 Sokal, R.R.; Sneath, P.A. 1963: Principles of Num erical Taxonomy.

This is now no longer true, the present monograph covers the 131 known species (71 newly de s cribed ) and provides a practical key, careful descrip tions, lists of material seen and notes on biology. The whole work exudes a remarkable thoroughness and includes sections on morphological characters, on the · numerical analysis of phenetic relationships and zoo geography." 2 11'I'his revision of one of the largest and taxonomic ally most difficult genera of rhyparochromine Lygae idae will no doubt find its place in most entomolog ical libraries. It is an essential working tool for all who may be called on to identify species of Dieu �' and all those who come to work on them in any areas of their biology, development, cytogenetics, distribution or economics." ------1 Ent. mon. mag. 1974 April-June.

Woodward, Senior Lecturer in Entom ology, University of Queensland. 5 A major revision such as the monograph of Dieuches will, understandably, not generate further taxonomic publications on Dieucl:es for a long time, but I belie ve that it helped generate Malipatil's splendidpaper1 revising the section of the complex genus Pachybrach �' and of necessity of some closely related genera, from the Australian region. However, ULe monograph has generated at least the follo��ng papers (known to the applicant) on biology and immature stages2 (two species), and effect of pop- ulation density on development, etc., and reproductioni in Dieuches. Finally, the male genitalia of two spec ies of Dieuches (and some species in other genera) are described and figured, with a discussion on taxonomic ally important characters, a key to those species and genera based on male genitalia, and the description of a denticulate area on the parameres believed to facili tate holding during copulation.� 1 Malipatil, M.B. 1978: Revision of the Myodochini (Hemiptera : Lygaeidae : Rhyparochrominae) of the Australian Region.

Some Further Work Generated by Supporting Papers on other Rhyparochrominae The paper on the rhyparochromine tribe Targaremini (no. A11 ) , which included a key to the genera of Tar garemini of the '.vorld and a section on zoogeography, has generated further research publications by another 1 scientist. Malipatil described a further new species of !1/-etagerra 7ihite and revalidated M. helmsi (Reuter ) which had been synonyrnised with obscura White by Ber groth in 1916. Much additional material from more re cent collecting was available to him enabling discuss ion on distribution, wing polymorphism, habitat and host plant data. Morphological and distributional evi dence revealed that M.distincta Eyles 1967 is only a long-membrane form of M.obscura, and is synonymised with it. Interestingly, Malipatil states in his descr iption of the long-membrane form of obscura "The orig inal description of distincta applies entirely to this form of obscura." 'i'11is includes prominent punctation on pronotum, scutellum considerably longer than wide, and a tapering apical process on the aedeagus, all of which distinguish it from tile short-membrane form (which has on the aedeagus a stout apical process, hooked or strongly flared ) • ...______ 1 Jalipatil, M.B. 1976: Metagerra "ivhi'..,r; ( ::; teroptera: Lygaeidae); a review.

He keys genera and species, and descri bes new genera and species including Geratarma eyles i Malipatil. Millerocoris ductus Eyles had been descri bed on a single incomplete female, and Eminocoris con �Eyles on a single male. As more material of both sexes had since become available e!'l.abling the study of genital ia, Malipatil was able to finalise the generic placement of conus. He states that the keel is present in Millerocoris Eyles, but is inconspicuous, and inter estingly uses my keel character to key out the two species ( keel conspicuous in Millerocoris conus (�les ) and inconspicuous in Millerocoris ductus ) . H� paper was also partly generated by the earlier work of the late Dr T. E. Woodward describing genera and species of Targaremini. With careful work on the greater nwn ber of specimens available, ivialipatil has synony mised two of Woodward's subspecies of Regatarma forsteri\uth the species forsteri, raised three of them to specific status but transferred them to a new genus, and trans ferred two other species to new genera. Malipatil has published a further paper2 on wing polymorphism, spec- ------1 Malipatil, M.B. 1977: The Targaremini of New Zealand ( Hemiptera : Lygaeidae) ; a revision.

My papers A11, A13 and A14 began recording and ext ending the tribes of Rhyparochrominae represented in New Zealand, with descriptions of new endemic species and sometimes genera. These have ge�erated the paper1 further extending this recording with the finding of the two Australian species Paradrymus exilirostris Bergroth and Grossander major ( Gross) in Kev1 Zealand. The paper A13 describing Stizocephalus Eyles, "An endemic genus of .iihyparociuomini from Few Zealar:d", nelped Professor Scudder to solve a _proble:n. :=e :ta3 a specime�'l from barber's collectio>.1 with <• :lata label "Victoria" and a determination label "Acompus rufiues (Wolff) ". It v:as not that species, but coming from a North American collection it was asswned to be from Victoria on Vancouver Island. This vvas puzzling beca use it did not belong in any known genus represented in Xorth America. Vv'hen Professor Scudder saw the draw- ings in the applicant's paper he noted the similarity to the problem specimen ( which confirmed his suspicion about the Vancouver Island locality) , and realized at that point that it may have come from Victoria, Aust ralia. He borrowed the holotype from New Zealand and specimens resembling it from Australian collections. The result was his paper describing six new species 1 Malipatil, i�.3. 1977: id.ditions to the Drymini of New Zealand ( Eeter optera : Lygaeidae ) . New Zealand �urnal of Zoology 4(2): 177-182. \. 'J of Stizocephalus from Australia, recording S.breviros s 1970 from Australia, and providing a key to -tris Eyle 1 the species of Stizocephalus. In paper A14 I publish the first record of the tribe Udeocorini from New Zealand and add to the generic des cription of Udeocoris Bergroth, particula rly as the genitalia had not previously been figured or described. I add a new species, figuring male and female genitalia and describe the brachypterous form as all my specimens were brachypterous. This generated the paper2 which des cribes and figures the fifth instar larva of Ud.eocoris � Eyles 1971 and extends the description of the adult in particular by including the macropterous fo rm. Lygaeidae : Orsillinae Theme The publications from my !•iassey thesis on Kysius huttoni have generated further research publications on Orsillinae by the applicant. These are paper nlli�ber A18 on damage to cultivated Cruciferae, paper A20 on the genus Nysius Dallas in New Zealand, part of the work in paper A21 , and the revision and review of Rhy podes which is the second of the three major contri butions to this application. Paper A20 describes a new species of Nysius, the ------ 1 Scudder, G.G.E. 1975: The genus Stizocephalus �les ( Hemiptera : Lygaeidae ) in Australia.

From the same locality I also 35 I collected specimens of Brachynysius cor..vexus Using er 1942, and later found a fine series of it, incl ud ing a macrbpterous male, from nearby Waiho Gorge in the Natio::1al Museum collection. This confirmed my ear lier decision (in paper A15) to synonymise Brachynysius usinger with Kvsius, but revealed characters enabling the revalidation of the species convexus (which I had synor..ymised with huttoni). In tne earlier work only a single paratype female of had been available for study. ::'he three New Zealand species are keyed :in paper A20 using the good, simple characters revealed in this study. I'he late Professor P. D. Ashloc:.C who at that time had recently published his Ph.D. thesis work on a generic classification of the Orsillinae of the world offered to draw the genitalia of the three species , and to provide co��ents on characters dist- inguishing Nysius from Rhypodes and on characters pec 1 uliar to New Zealand species of :;ysi us, so I offered him a coauthorship. �evelopment of the Rhypodes :n.evision Project From collecting trips it soon became apparent tlmt there were many rema rkable new species of ilhypodes. I collected marq of them over some 12 to 14 years, main � fro� 1962 to 1973 inclusive, from remote alpine I ar eas with my colleague� Mr J. I. Tov.-r.send. Twenty-t'Vo I new species are described and added to the five pre- anceps (1\'hite) is 1 Viously :mown members. O!udsona added 11 by the new synonymy of Hudsona Evans ;;,rith Rhypodes. A range of characters occurs within the genus, some quite bizzare, making. Rhypodes the most remarkable genus in the Orsillinae. Until this study, insuffic- ient species were known for earlier workers to adequ ately describe the genus Rhypodes or to define its limits. Each species is figured with a habitus photograph or drawing, line drawings of male and female genitalia ( except where only one or two specimens were availab le) , and often of other parts. The 28 known species are keyed. There is an illustrated section on general morphology, which also lists the most useful diagnos tic characters. There are further sections on limits of the genus, comments on tribal classification, num erical analysis of phenetic relationships and biology. One problem involving confusion of three species was solved. R.clavicornis (F.) and R.cognatus Eyles are unusual in that males are narrow and parallel sid ed. '.Vhen Usinger1 stated that pr onotal triangles may not be a specific character ( for clavicornis) he no doubt intended the form with narrower males (= cogna tus). It is W1fortQDate that until the applicant's review and revision of Rhypodes, through lack of know ledge of the group, Usinger's statement led to some confusion and a tendency to lump everything lacking 1 Usinger, R.L. 1942: The Orsillini of New Zealand ( Hemiptera, Lygaeidae ) . Transactions of the Royal Soc- �ety of New Zealand 72: 41-52. triangles in with clavicornis. The material which Usi nger included in clavicornis contained more thm< one species (see remarks \.Ll'lder clavicornis p. 376, cogna- . � p. 377 and koebelei 5:yles p. 388). �velopment of the Contributions on the l!i:iridae Theme The studies on iY1iridae began when the applicant collected a species of Megaloceroea Fieber in New Ze� I land which differed from the New Zealand species M. reuteriana Vlhite and proved to be M. recticornis (Geo ffroy ) of Palaearctic and Nearctic distribution. All five species then remaining in Megaloceroea needed to be examined. What started out as a study of New Zeal and Stenodemini had to be widened to the Australian reg·ion and still further to include two species from the Oriental region. The resu.l ting paper A23 generated further papers by the applicant on Stenodemini - paper A22 on the male genitalia and tribal placement of the Tasmanian and Australian Protomiris Poppius, and paper A24 a rev ision of the now near cosmopolitan genus Dolichomiris Reuter, with a revised key to the genera of Steno dem- ini. Jhen the applicant was well into this work, Prof essor J. C. M. Carvalho, from Uio de Janeiro, Brazil visited New Zealand and we worked together for several weeks, deciding from that point to work as a team. In ; the [email protected] paper Professor Carvalho helped with the generic redescription, genitalia drawin.:;s of D. bp. ' 9a:!."is Reuter and offered inclusion of a revised key to I 13 the genera of Stenodemini, so that 'He could publish it as a joint author paper. Another result of his 1Tew Zealand visit was our joi nt paper (presented by ::'�yles) to the 14th Internation al Congress of Entomology in Canberra in 1972 in which we announced that there are "many more species of JV.ir idae in !�ew· Zealand than the 20 at present recorded". Some are iYl the :Ueraeocorinae, but a large numb er are in the genus Chinamiris :Joodward ( ;,;irinae ) . During the period 1976 to 1985 the applicant was involved with other projects, other than entomology. The joint papers follow on, generated from the New Zealand Stenodemini work ( paper A23), describing new species of Miridae from New Zealand. They are a good example of two scientists, who worked together briefly, co-operating at a distance. Paper A25 describes and figures nine new species of Deraeocorinae, with key s to the New Zealand genera and 12 species of Rornna Kir- 1 kaldy. Paper A26 describes a new genus and species of Mirini from lucerne . The Chinamiris ?..evision The preceding work led finally to the revision of I .Qlinamiris '.vhich is third major con-:;ribution of I . the this application. Tvventy-nine new species are descri- I 1 bed, Calocoris laticinctus (::�-alker) is tr c.nsferred to �:niris and tne 31 species nm•1 knovm in the genus 1 e.re keyed and figured. ':'he wide ra!1ge of characters, including nu.11ber and shape of projections ( when pres- 14 ent) on the ;r.ale genital cap sule, now known from the many new species, have enabled limits of this genus to be set. There is an illustrated section on general I morphology, a habitus drawing or photoe:raph of each species, figures of the male genitalia of most species, a section on host plants, and maps showing the known distribution of the six most abundant species. The study showed that the species laticinctus was pr eviously not well known. 'rhere had been a handful of attempts to identify it over the years, but there had been some confusion as one or two labels appear on five of the new- species of Chinamiris (see top p. 297).
