The Variability of the Chromosome Numbers in Psocomorpha (Insecta, Psocoptera) CARYOLOGIA Vol. 57, no. 1: 67-71, 2004 The variability of the chromosome numbers in Psocomorpha (Insecta, Psocoptera) NATALIA V. G OLUB Natalia V. Golub, Dep. of Karyosystematics, Zoological Institute Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaja emb. 1, 199034, St. Petersburg, Russia. Abstract - Karyotypes of 10 species of Psocoptera of 8 genera and 5 families of the advanced suborder Psocomorpha are reported for the first time. In Stenopsocus aphidiformis End. 2n=23, 24 (22A + X0/XX); in Lachesilla pedic- ularia L., L. tanaidana Roesler, Ectopsocus briggsi McLachl., Elipsocus pumilis (Hagen), Amphigerontia bifasciata (Latr.), Sigmatoneura kolbei End., and Trichadenotecnum sexpunctatum L. 2n=17,18 (16A + X0/XX); in Amphigeron- tia jezoensis Okam. 2n=15, 16 (14A + X0/XX), and in Loensia variegata (Latr.) 2n=13, 14 (12A + X0/XX). The karyotype variability in suborder is estimated. The pathways of the karyotype evolution in Psocomorpha are dis- cussed. Key words: Insecta, Psocoptera, chromosome number, karyotype variability.

    272 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB INSECTS IN HAMPSHIRE, 1933 By F. H. HAINES HE summer of 1933, remarkable for drought and the amount of long-continued sunshine and heat, reacted on insects, T especially Lepidoptera, on the whole favourably. Times of appearance were very early, migrants numerous, and species normally single or double-brooded often produced an extra brood. But many, such as dragonflies, were soon over. February was wet, April dry, but June had one very heavy storm here (1.59ms. in 24 hours). The absence of rain was particularly noticeable later in-the year : in August, November and December. Orthoptera (Earwigs, Cockroaches, Crickets and Grass­ hoppers). The species of Ectobia were abundant and early, as was Nemobius sylvestris F., and grasshoppers : Pholidoptera griseoaptera De G. in the New Forest in August, Metrioptera albopunctata Gz. near Ringwood, M. brachyptera L., Conocephalus dorsalis 'Latr., Meconema thalassinum De G. and Leptophyes punctatissima Bosc. in the Forest. Tetrix subulatus L. was common, and hibernated T. bipunctatus L. was met with here very early. Goytphocerus maculatus Thunb. was everywhere in the wild, dry places around through summer and autumn, its colour, as usual, varying endlessly with that of its surroundings. The large Mecostethus grossus L., not uncommon in the forest bogs, and usually on Linwood Bog, was strangely, conditions being so favourable, not found here this year. Omocestus rufipes Zett. was not nearly so common on the heath as was O. viridulus L. on the grass. It was still abundant, basking in the sun on the woodwork of the house here, and else­ where, late in October.

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 3, pp. 637–646 Structure of psocid taxocenoses (Psocoptera) were intensively studied in forest ecosystems of the Western Carpathian Mts. and Polonic biogeographical subprovincy during 1997–2001 in the Czech Republic. Vegetation tiers (= altitudinal vegetation zones) were used as a study frame. Only a part of material, i.e. individuals that was found in the forest ecosystems of Querci-fageta s. lat. communities (= the 3rd oak-beech vegetation tier) was evaluated for purpose of this work. This vegetation tier is widespread in large part of the Opavská pahorkatina hills, in large parts of Podbeskydská pahorktina hills, in the Bílé Karpaty hills and in the foothills of the Vsetínské vrchy hills. 1201 adults comprising 29 species were found in total in the 3rd vegetation tier. As eudominant species, the following ones were found: Peripsocus subfasciatus, Caecilius fl avius and Stenopsocus lachlani, as dominant species, the following ones were found: Philotarsus parviceps and Caecilius piceus. In natural geobiocenoses with the level of naturalness of 1 or 2, the following species were found: as eudominant species: Caecilius fl avidus, Peripsocus phaeopterus, as dominant species, the following ones were found: Caecilius piceus, Peripsocus subfasciatus, Philotarsus parviceps and Elipsocus moebiusi.

    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 62, 2016 (5): 211–222 doi: 10.17221/97/2015-JFS The first contribution to the fauna of psocids (Insecta: Psocoptera) in forests in the Drahanská vrchovina Hills (Czech Republic) D. Mazáč Department of Forest Protection and Wildlife Management, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Mendel University in Brno, Brno, Czech Republic ABSTRACT: Taxocenosis of psocids (Psocoptera) was studied in the territory of the Drahanská vrchovina Hills in the Czech Republic. Representative research plots were selected in forest ecosystems with natural species composition and spatial structure (small-scale strictly protected areas) as well as in forest ecosystems with altered tree species composi- tion and spatial structure. Research was conducted in three altitudinal vegetation zones (AVZ): in 2nd communities of Fagi-querceta s. lat. (beech-oak forests), 3rd Querci-fageta s. lat. (oak-beech forests) and 4th Fageta abietis (beech forests with fir). Research plots are situated at altitudes ranging between 275 and 540 m a.s.l. In the 2013 growing season, totally 3,474 imagoes and 2,532 nymphs of 32 psocid species were collected. Of those, 748 imagoes of 25 psocid species were collected in Fagi-querceta. The occurrence of Caecilius burmeisteri, Caecilius flavidus and Graphopsocus cruciatus was eudominant. 2,194 imagoes of 23 psocid species were found in Querci-fageta, eudominant were there Caecilius flavidus and Caecilius burmeisteri. 532 imagoes of 18 psocid species were found in Fageta abietis, eudominant were there: Caecilius flavidus, Peripsocus subfasciatus and Caecilius burmeisteri. In respect to the species composition, 3rd AVZ and 4th AVZ are similar to each other while 2nd AVZ is less similar.

This was a problem that I was well aware of (and is, of course, also the case for most insect groups) but seeing it in black and white inspired me to seriously try to think of a solution. But what to do?! A good number of years ago, when I was involved with the Scottish Wildlife Trust, I was asked to come up with an idea for a faunal project for trainee surveyors. I suggested a seasonal study of the psocids found on four yew trees at an estate near Edinburgh.

  • Insecta: Psocoptera) in Dependence on the Level of Naturalness of Forest Ecosystems in the Žďárské Vrchy Hills
    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 49, 2003 (5): 208–219 Composition of psocid taxocenoses (Insecta: Psocoptera) in dependence on the level of naturalness of forest ecosystems in the Žďárské vrchy hills P. MÜCKSTEIN1, O. HOLUŠA2 1Masaryk University, Faculty of Science, Brno, Czech Republic 2Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Brno, Czech Republic ABSTRACT: In 1999–2000 in the Protected Landscape Area (PLA) Žďárské vrchy hills the occurrence of psocids (Psocoptera) was studied in different types of biotopes: natural forest ecosystems (stands of Fagus sylvatica with individual admixture of Abies alba, Acer pseudoplatanus, Picea abies), changed forest ecosystems (monoculture of Picea abies), young plantations in forest stands, disperse forest vegetation (solitary trees), and also non-forest ecosystems – agrocenoses, meadows and grazing lands. A total of 10,560 adults in 20 species were found. Three groups of biotopes with specific psocid taxocenosis were found out by computed cluster analysis – l. natural forest stands with dominance of Fagus sylvatica, 2. disperse tree vegetation and solitary trees in cultural landscape, and 3. forest stands remote to nature (monoculture of Picea abies). Occurrence of psocids was observed from the beginning of May to mid- November. Maximum of abundance was found in September. Keywords: Psocoptera; types of forest ecosystems; Protected Landscape Area Žďárské vrchy; Žďárský biogeographical region; Czech Republic In general, psocids are a rarely studied insect order. Thank ecosystems on the composition of psocid taxocenoses. In to their size, quiet coloration and relatively difficult way this paper results of two-year faunistic-ecological research of collection and preparation they are on the margin of on the Psocoptera order that was carried out in selected entomologists’ interest.

Introduction This is the fourth part of a series of "Additions and Corrections to the World Catalogue and Bibliography" which will be published in "Psocid News". Please remember to send me copies of your papers on Psocoptera, and indicate to me all the errors you find in the 2002-book (=Lienhard & Smithers, 2002). If papers which came to your notice are not treated in the "Additions", please send me the bibliographical references by e-mail. In the "Additions to the Bibliography", references to the papers which I have not yet seen are marked with "(Not seen)". Please send me a copy of these papers if you feel concerned. Only papers which I have seen are analysed for the "Additions to the Catalogue", except those "(Not seen)"-papers where the matter they deal with is clearly indicated in the title or in the abstract. The other papers will be analysed in a future part of the "Additions to the Catalogue", as soon as a copy of them becomes available to me. In general, these "Additions" present the information in the style of the 2002-book, according to the criteria mentioned there (pp. ix-xli) and using the same abbreviations (cf. pp. xl-xli). Families (and higher categories, if mentioned) are listed according to Table 1 of the 2002-book (for Amphipsocidae see Yoshizawa, 2001b; cf.

Comparative Cytogenetics 13(4): 403–410. https://doi.org/10.3897/CompCytogen.v13i4.48891 Abstract Repetitive DNAs are the main components of eukaryotic genome. We mapped the 18S rDNA and TTAGG telomeric probe sequences by FISH to meiotic chromosomes of eight species of the order Psocoptera con- sidered a basal taxon of Paraneoptera: Valenzuela burmeisteri (Brauer, 1876), Stenopsocus lachlani Kolbe, 1960, Graphopsocus cruciatus (Linnaeus, 1768), Peripsocus phaeopterus (Stephens, 1836), Philotarsus pici- cornis (Fabricius, 1793), Amphigerontia bifasciata (Latreille, 1799), Psococerastis gibbosa (Sulzer, 1766), and Metylophorus nebulosus (Stephens, 1836). These species belong to five distantly related families of the largest psocid suborder Psocomorpha: Caeciliusidae, Stenopsocidae, Peripsocidae, Philotarsidae, and Psocidae. We show that all the examined species share a similar location of 18S rDNA on a medium-sized pair of auto- somes.
