HETEROPTERA:MIRIDAE) Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: John D AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF MICHAEL DAVID SCHWARTZ for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in ENTOMOLOGY presented on Title: A REVISION OF THE BLACK GRASS BUG GENUS IRBISIA REUTER (HETEROPTERA:MIRIDAE) Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: John D. Lattin The black grass bug genus Irbisia Reuter was revised. Over 18,000 specimens were examined and information concerning the biology, host plant and distributional relationships of the species was compiled. In addition to external characters, the male claspers and vesica, and the female dorsal libiate plate of the bursa copulatrix and sclero- tized rings were used to distinguish the species. Sixty-nine charac- ters selected from male and female genitalia, and external morphology were cladistically analyzed. Thirty-two characters are intra- correlated, defining four species groups. Twenty-three species are recognized in the genus. Two keys to the species are presented. One new species, Irbisia knighti is described. The following synonymies are proposed: I. brachycera (Uhler) = I. gorgoniensis Bliven, I. paeta Van Duzee, I. tejonica Bliven, I. vestifera Bliven; I. californica Van Duzee = I. eurekae Bliven, I. paenulata Bliven; I. elongata Knight = I. retrusa Bliven; I. setosa Van Duzee = I. ustricula Bliven; I. solani (Heidemann) = I. lacertosa Bliven. Irbisia species diversity is greatest in the Coastal, Peninsular, Sierra and Transverse Ranges of California and decreases northward, northeastward and eastward. Major centers of endemism are located in California and the Rocky Mountains northwest of the Wyoming Basin; a minor center is located in the Siskiyou Mountains of southwestern Oregon. Faunal similarity analysis suggests that the present Irbisia fauna is derived from two source areas - one Californian, and one in the Rocky Mountains. The present distribution of I. sericans (StS1) may be derived from Beringian refugia. The distribution of the Irbisia species appears to be delineated by climatic conditions; late winter and early spring precipitation is required for growth of their cool season grass hosts. Over twenty native and introduced species of grasses are utilized by larval and adult stages of Irbisia in Oregon. Larval feeding was observed on four species of nongrass monocots, and species of Lupinus and Lathyrus (Fabaceae). There appears to be no grass host specificity among the Irbisia species. However, all the grass species utilized are in the subfamily Pooideae; genera from the Avenae, Poeae and Triticeae predominate. The Irbisia species are the earliest mirid to consume the grass resource, completing their life cycle before grass seed is mature. Many Irbisia species, upon maturity, leave grasses and congregate on conspicuous nearby shrubs and trees. Their dispersal is correlated with the blossoming of these plants; adult feeding on pollen, nectar or honeydew is suspected.

  • Rainfall and Parasitic Wasp (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea
    Agricultural and Forest Entomology (2000) 2, 39±47 Rainfall and parasitic wasp (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) activity in successional forest stages at Barro Colorado Nature Monument, Panama, and La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica B. A. Shapiro1 and J. Pickering Institute of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602-2602, U.S.A. Abstract 1 In 1997, we ran two Malaise insect traps in each of four stands of wet forest in Costa Rica (two old-growth and two 20-year-old stands) and four stands of moist forest in Panama (old-growth, 20, 40 and 120-year-old stands). 2 Wet forest traps caught 2.32 times as many ichneumonoids as moist forest traps. The average catch per old-growth trap was 1.89 times greater than the average catch per second-growth trap. 3 Parasitoids of lepidopteran larvae were caught in higher proportions in the wet forest, while pupal parasitoids were relatively more active in the moist forest. 4 We hypothesize that moisture availability is of key importance in determining parasitoid activity, community composition and trophic interactions.

Washington, DC 20402-9328 ISBN O-1 6-042075-X Foreword on-indigenous species (NIS)-----those species found beyond their natural ranges—are part and parcel of the U.S. landscape. Many are highly beneficial. Almost all U.S. crops and domesticated animals, many sport fish and aquiculture species, numerous horticultural plants, and most biologicalN control organisms have origins outside the country. A large number of NIS, however, cause significant economic, environmental, and health damage. These harmful species are the focus of this study. The total number of harmful NIS and their cumulative impacts are creating a growing burden for the country. We cannot completely stop the tide of new harmful introductions. Perfect screening, detection, and control are technically impossible and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, the Federal and State policies designed to protect us from the worst species are not safeguarding our national interests in important areas. These conclusions have a number of policy implications. First, the Nation has no real national policy on harmful introductions; the current system is piecemeal, lacking adequate rigor and comprehensiveness. Second, many Federal and State statutes, regulations, and programs are not keeping pace with new and spreading non-indigenous pests.

  • (Heteroptera: Miridae) A
    251 CHROMOSOME NUMBERS OF SOME NORTH AMERICAN MIRIDS (HETEROPTERA: MIRIDAE) A. E. AKINGBOHUNGBE Department of Plant Science University of Ife lie-Ife, Nigeria Data are presented on the chromosome numbers (2n) of some eighty species of Miridae. The new information is combined with existing data on some Palearctic and Ethiopian species and discussed. From it, it is suggested that continued reference to 2n - 32A + X + Y as basic mirid karyotype should be avoided and that contrary to earlier suggestions, agmatoploidy rather than poly- ploidy is a more probable mechanism of numerical chromosomal change. Introduction Leston (1957) and Southwood and Leston (1959) gave an account of the available information on chromosome numbers in the Miridae. These works pro- vided the first indication that the subfamilies may show some modalities that might be useful in phylogenetic analysis in the family. Kumar (1971) also gave an ac- count of the karyotype in some six West African cocoa bryocorines. In the present paper, data will be provided on 80 North American mirids, raising to about 131, the number of mirids for which the chromosome numbers are known. Materials and Methods Adult males were collected during the summer of 1970-1972 in Wisconsin and dissected soon after in 0.6% saline solution. The dissected testes were preserved in 3 parts isopropanol: 1 part glacial acetic acid and stored in a referigerator until ready for squashing. Testis squashes were made using Belling's iron-acetocarmine tech- nique as reviewed by Smith (1943) and slides were ringed with either Bennett's zut or Sanford's rubber cement.

Several members requested that we arrange this and David Knapp is willing to do so as long as there is sufficient interest - at least sixteen people would be 1 needed. The cost of a minibus would be £20 per person. The departure/return point would, as usual, be St Mark’s Church car park in Bilton, with additional pick up/drop off points in Long Itchington and Marton. The proposed return visit to Oxford Natural History Museum was cancelled because there were not enough people to make it viable. This is therefore now the FINAL CALL (!) for Rutland Water.

Feeding Damage by Irbisia pacifica (Hemiptera: Miridae): Effects of Feeding and Drought on Host Plant Growth 1 JAMES D. HANSEN2,3 AND ROBERT S. NOWAK4 Ann. EntomoL Soc. Am. 81(4): 599-604 (1988) ABSTRACT The interaction of feeding by a grass bug, Ir"bisia pacifica (Uhler), and drought stress on growth of Great Basin wildrye, Leymus cinereus (Scrih. & Merr.) Love, and intermediate wheatgrass, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkw. & D. R. Dewey, was studied in the greenhouse. At peak production, control plants of Great Basin wildrye had more than twice as much green leaf area per tiller than bug-infested ones, and intermediate wheatgrass controls had three times as much as the bug-infested plants.
