FOREWORD Of unusual occurrence is the publication oI a thesis 40 ye,Lrs after its completion and acceptance in partial tultilln~cntof the require- ments for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, ant1 also nIter the death of the author. Such thesis is herewith published in the Miscellnneous Publications of the Museum of Zoology, as a memorial number for Dr. Justin W. Leonard. The greater part of the study reported here was carried on during the period 1931-34 while Dr. Leonard was a graduate student at the University of Michigan. Since that time, the varied demands of his professional duties, and the difIiculties in obtaining funds for the printing, resulted in repeated delays or publication. A few years ago, Dr. B. E. Montgomery and Dr. Leonard began to revise the original mCmuscript and made a few minor changes in the Introduction and preliminary discussion concerning the genus Acantha,qrzon. These have been incorporated in this published version. The hopeful waiting ior the publication of this work has apparently been responsible for the delay in describing new species by other authors. Since the completion of the thesis, only six new species and two new subspecies have been described. These arc listed herewith in an Appendix. Lconord I<. Gloyd INTRODUCTION The genus ;lca~zthagrio~zwas erected for the reception of certain Neotropical coenagrionine Zygoptera by the great Belgian odonatol- ogist, Baron Edmond de Selys-Longchamps, in 1876. Into this genus, at the time of its description, he placed Agrion ~racilr,described "l'rom Brazil" by Rambur (1842) as the first species of "2e groupe: (A. GRACILE)." At thc samc time, Selys published descrip- tions of 13 new forms - 8 as species (apicale, chcl$erum, i~ztcr- ruptum, laleralc, nigrinuchale, temporale, trimaculalum and trun- catz~f~z),2 as varieties of cq:.mcile (czi~zcatumand qunclratzi17z), anti 3 as races of gracile (la~zcea,rninarzi?n and uitlua). No further additions were made to the gcnus for 23 years, when Calvert (1 899) tlescribed lala/~istyl~.im.Ten years later, Calvert (1909) described 9 more forms - 4 as species (clzacoense, clznmrum, clzirilzzianurn and cuyabae) ant1 5 as subspccics (ablz~tumand useendens as subspecies of gracile, fi~nense and ,frcirensc as subspccics of cziyabae, and rusticurn as a doubtfully distinct subspecies of clzeliferzinz). Ris described G forms for the genus - 5 as species (amOiiqzizim in 1904, aczitunz, luna and yulzsarzim in 1916, li~zd~zrriin 1928) and one, honarie~zsc,as a sub- species of ilzterru[)tzi17z in 1913.

A. quadratumis distinguished from all others by possessing 3 premental setae, 4 setae on labial palp, and caudal lamellae 8-10 times longer than their widest part. A key tothe 9 known congeneric larvae is provided INTRODUCTION The neotropical genus Acanthagrion Selys, 1876 comprises 40 known species ELLENRIEDER & (VON LOZANO, 2008), A. inexpectum Leonard and A. quadratum Selys occur in Mexico (GONZAlEZ-SORIANO & NOVELO-GU- TIERREZ, 2007). The genus was redefined by VON ELLENR1EDER & LOZ- ANO (2008), who diagnosed the larvae from those of Oxyagrion by their markedly lanceolate caudal lamellae, with width/length ratio 0.18 or less, and longer than abdomen (1.02 or more). Despite the speciose nature of the genus, larvae of only eight species (20% of genus) have been described: A. ascendens Calvert (GEIJS- KES, 1941), A. adustum Williamsonand A. indefensum Williamson(GEIJSKES, 1943), A. fluviatile De Marmels (DE MARMELS, 1990), A. apicale Selys (DE MARMELS, 1992), A. hildegarda Gloger (MUZON et al. 2001), A. vidua Selys (DE MARMELS, 2007), and A. aepiolum Tennessen (LOZANO et al., 2007). WESTFALL & MAY (1996) keyed the larva of A. quadratum, providing some but did include figures, not a description.

Based on specimens collected in Minas Gerais state (Brazilian Southeastern Region), we described and illustrated the last- instar nymph and illustrated the egg and other nymphal stages. The nymphs of A. viridescens went through 11 instars, each of them with an average duration of approximately 13 days. The combinations of the following characteristics distinguish the last-instar nymph of A. viridescens from congeners: prementum with 2+1 setae in each side; labial palp with six apical denticles; mandibular formula L 1+2 3 4 5 y a, R 1+2 3 4 5 y- a b; presence of trifid spine in the ventral distal region of the tibia and in the tarsi; format of the male and female gonapophyses; and the distinctive pattern of the tracheae in the caudal gills. This also represents the first record of this species from southeastern Brazil. Key words: damselflies, aquatic insects, life cycle, taxonomy Introduction The Neotropical genus of damselflies Acanthagrion Selys, 1876 has 40 described species (Garrison & von Ellenrieder 2014), and its distribution ranges from south-central United States (Texas) to central Argentina.
  • Arizona Wildlife Notebook

    Arizona Wildlife Notebook

    ARIZONA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ARIZONA WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK GARRY ROGERS Praise for Arizona Wildlife Notebook “Arizona Wildlife Notebook” by Garry Rogers is a comprehensive checklist of wildlife species existing in the State of Arizona. This notebook provides a brief description for each of eleven (11) groups of wildlife, conservation status of all extant species within that group in Arizona, alphabetical listing of species by common name, scientific names, and room for notes. “The Notebook is a statewide checklist, intended for use by wildlife watchers all over the state. As various individuals keep track of their personal observations of wildlife in their specific locality, the result will be a more selective checklist specific to that locale. Such information would be vitally useful to the State Wildlife Conservation Department, as well as to other local agencies and private wildlife watching groups. “This is a very well-documented snapshot of the status of wildlife species – from bugs to bats – in the State of Arizona. Much of it should be relevant to neighboring states, as well, with a bit of fine-tuning to accommodate additions and deletions to the list. “As a retired Wildlife Biologist, I have to say Rogers’ book is perhaps the simplest to understand, yet most comprehensive in terms of factual information, that I have ever had occasion to peruse. This book should become the default checklist for Arizona’s various state, federal and local conservation agencies, and the basis for developing accurate local inventories by private enthusiasts as well as public agencies. "Arizona Wildlife Notebook" provides a superb starting point for neighboring states who may wish to emulate Garry Rogers’ excellent handiwork.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

CAPITULO 3: Dos nuevas especies de libélulas andinas del Género Ischnura Charpentier, 1840 (Odonata, Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae) CAPITULO 4: Relaciones Filogenéticas de libélulas del género Ischnura (Odonata: Coenagrionidae), basadas en secuencias de genes mitocondriales (COI, COII) en relación a su diversificación altitudinal CONCLUSIONES GENERALES RESUMEN Uno de los factores ambientales determinantes de la diversidad y distribución de las especies es la temperatura; que a su vez se relaciona directamente con la latitud y la altitud, entre otros factores. Por lo tanto afectando también a los odonatos, cuya diversidad disminuye con el aumento de aquellas y encontrándose que su mayor diversidad está en la franja tropical especialmente las regiones biogeográficas Oriental y Neotropical. La primera parte del estudio muestra el efecto de la altitud sobre la diversidad de la odonatofauna en un perfil altitudinal sobre la Cordillera Oriental de los Andes colombianos.
