Beitr. 49/2 1309-1321 11.12.2017 Fauna of Ascoidea (except Ameroseiidae) in Guilan province, Iran with two new species record for Iran mites fauna Fatemeh KARAMI, Jalil HAJIZADEH & Hadi OSTOVAN A b s t r a c t : A faunistic study of superfamily Ascoidea (Acari: Mesostigmata) except family Ameroseiidae in Guilan province, Northern Iran was carried out during 2015-2016. During this study 13 species of seven genera belong to two families Ascidae and Melicharidae were collected and identified. Four species namely Asca aphidioides (LINNAEUS), Zerconopsis michaeli EVANS & HYATT, Antennoseius (Antennoseius) bacatus ATHIAS-HENRIOT from family Ascidae and Proctolaelaps scolyti EVANS from family Melicharidae are new records for the mites fauna of Guilan Province. Proctolaelaps fiseri SAMŠIŇÁK (Melicharidae) and Zerconopsis remiger (KRAMER) (Ascidae) are new for Iran mites fauna. Expanded descriptions including illustrations of the adult female of Proctolaelaps fiseri and Zerconopsis remiger, respectively are provided based on the Iranian material. K e y w o r d s : Fauna, Ascoidea, Mesostigmata, New records, Iran. Introduction The superfamily Ascoidea is richly represented in tropical, temperate, and arctic alpine regions, where many of its members are free-living predators of nematodes and micro- arthropods in soil or humus and suspended arboreal litter habitats.

    PISTAS QUIMIOSSENSORIAIS DE PREDADORES E CONCORRENTES INFLUENCIANDO NA BUSCA POR REFÚGIO NO FRUTO PELO ÁCARO DO COQUEIRO Aceria guerreronis KEIFER (ACARI: ERIOPHYIDAE) por ÉRICA COSTA CALVET (Sob Orientação do Professor Manoel Guedes Correa Gondim Jr. – UFRPE) RESUMO Os organismos são adaptados para reconhecer pistas ambientais que podem fornecer informações sobre risco de predação ou competição. Os ácaros eriofiídeos não-vagrantes evitam a predação utilizando principalmente habitat de difícil acesso para os predadores (galha, minas ou espaços confinados nas plantas), como a região meristemática do coco, habitada pelos ácaros fitófagos Aceria guerreronis e Steneotarsonemus concavuscutum. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a resposta de A. guerreronis às pistas dos predadores Neoseiulus baraki e Amblyseius largoensis em frutos de coco, pistas de coespecíficos (A. guerreronis sacrificado) e pistas do fitófago S. concavuscutum. O ensaio foi realizado liberando cerca de 300 indivíduos de A. guerreronis em um fruto previamente tratados com pistas de predadores ou fitófagos coespecífico ou heteroespecífico. Para cada tratamento, foram feitas 20 repetições. Observamos também o caminhamento de A. guerreronis mediado por pistas químicas no equipamento de filmagem Viewpoint por 10min. A infestação de frutos por A. guerreronis foi maior na presença de pistas de predadores e reduzida na presença de pistas de S. concavuscutum, as pistas de coespecífico sacrificado não interferiram no processo de infestação. Além disso, as pistas testadas também alteraram os parâmetros de caminhamento de A. guerreronis. Ele caminhou mais em resposta a i pistas de predadores e ao fitófago heteroespecífico. Além disso, A. guerreronis teve mais tempo em atividade nos tratamentos com pistas em comparação com o tratamento de controle.

The mite fauna from ‘Jóia 4’, ‘Ouromel 3’, ‘Regis’ and ‘Rei da conserva’ cultivars over the rootstock Okinawa were determined from December 2002 to February 2006. Samples composed by 72 leaves were collected fortnightly from upper, middle and lower third of each tree and four trees per cultivar.

  • Molecular Insights Into the Phylogenetic Structure of the Spider
    MolecularBlackwell Publishing Ltd insights into the phylogenetic structure of the spider genus Theridion (Araneae, Theridiidae) and the origin of the Hawaiian Theridion-like fauna MIQUEL A. ARNEDO, INGI AGNARSSON & ROSEMARY G. GILLESPIE Accepted: 9 March 2007 Arnedo, M. A., Agnarsson, I. & Gillespie, R. G. (2007). Molecular insights into the phylo- doi:10.1111/j.1463-6409.2007.00280.x genetic structure of the spider genus Theridion (Araneae, Theridiidae) and the origin of the Hawaiian Theridion-like fauna. — Zoologica Scripta, 36, 337–352. The Hawaiian happy face spider (Theridion grallator Simon, 1900), named for a remarkable abdominal colour pattern resembling a smiling face, has served as a model organism for under- standing the generation of genetic diversity. Theridion grallator is one of 11 endemic Hawaiian species of the genus reported to date. Asserting the origin of island endemics informs on the evolutionary context of diversification, and how diversity has arisen on the islands. Studies on the genus Theridion in Hawaii, as elsewhere, have long been hampered by its large size (> 600 species) and poor definition. Here we report results of phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequences of five genes conducted on five diverse species of Hawaiian Theridion, along with the most intensive sampling of Theridiinae analysed to date. Results indicate that the Hawai- ian Islands were colonised by two independent Theridiinae lineages, one of which originated in the Americas. Both lineages have undergone local diversification in the archipelago and have convergently evolved similar bizarre morphs. Our findings confirm para- or polyphyletic status of the largest Theridiinae genera: Theridion, Achaearanea and Chrysso.

The morphometric measurements and sexual dimorphism of both male and females were carried out. The male pedipalp and female epigynum were removed, mounted and detailed structure wasdescribed. The principle component analysis (PCA) was performed for 16 variables and found that female spiderdifferedfrom male spider significantly in all variables. The first principle component accounts for 82% of total variance with first pair of legs length as its dominant term(weightage 0.52588299) and the 2nd principle component whose dominant term is the total body breadth measured in dorsal view with a percentage total variance of 94%(weightage 0.40512341). Since the first two components together account for 0.9384% of the total variance, each individual was represented as apoint in the co-ordinate space, of the associated amplitudes of the two principle components. The points fell as two obvious clusters confirming the succinct sexual dimorphic feature of the spiders. Keywords:Nesticodes rufipes, Morphometric measurements, Pedipalp, Epigynum & Principal Component Analysis(PCA) I. Introduction: Therididae(Sundevall1853) is alarge family of spiders,also known as the tangle web spiders,cob web spiders &comb footed spiders.

In Europe, it is an indige- nous species, commonly found on various plants, including conifers. The present study examined whether A. andersoni can develop and reproduce while feeding on two key pests of ornamental coniferous plants, i.e., Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) and Pentamerismus taxi (Haller). Pinus sylvestris L. pollen was also tested as an alternative food source for the predator. Both prey species and pine pollen were suitable food sources for A. andersoni. Although higher values of population parameters Citation: Puchalska, E.; were observed when the predator fed on mites compared to the pollen alternative, we conclude that Zagrodzki, S.K.; Kozak, M.; pine pollen may provide adequate sustenance for A.
