Mitochondrial Genomes of Three Tetrigoidea Species and Phylogeny of Tetrigoidea
Mitochondrial genomes of three Tetrigoidea species and phylogeny of Tetrigoidea Li-Liang Lin1, Xue-Juan Li1, Hong-Li Zhang2 and Zhe-Min Zheng1 1 College of Life Sciences, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China 2 School of Life Sciences, Datong University, Datong, Shanxi, China ABSTRACT The mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Formosatettix qinlingensis, Coptotettix longjiangensis and Thoradonta obtusilobata (Orthoptera: Caelifera: Tetrigoidea) were sequenced in this study, and almost the entire mitogenomes of these species were determined. The mitogenome sequences obtained for the three species were 15,180, 14,495 and 14,538 bp in length, respectively, and each sequence included 13 protein- coding genes (PCGs), partial sequences of rRNA genes (rRNAs), tRNA genes (tRNAs) and a A C T-rich region. The order and orientation of the gene arrangement pattern were identical to that of most Tetrigoidea species. Some conserved spacer sequences between trnS(UCN) and nad1 were useful to identify Tetrigoidea and Acridoidea. The Ka/Ks value of atp8 between Trachytettix bufo and other four Tetrigoidea species indicated that some varied sites in this gene might be related with the evolution of T. bufo. The three Tetrigoidea species were compared with other Caelifera. At the superfamily level, conserved sequences were observed in intergenic spacers, which can be used for superfamily level identification between Tetrigoidea and Acridoidea. Furthermore, a phylogenomic analysis was conducted based on the concatenated data sets from mitogenome sequences of 24 species of Orthoptera in the superorders Caelifera and Ensifera. Both maximum likelihood and bayesian inference analyses strongly supported Acridoidea and Tetrigoidea as forming monophyletic groups. The relationships among six Tetrigoidea species were (((((Tetrix japonica, Alulatettix Submitted 9 May 2017 yunnanensis), Formosatettix qinlingensis), Coptotettix longjiangensis), Trachytettix bufo), Accepted 17 October 2017 Thoradonta obtusilobata). -
(Orthoptera) and Their Phylogenetic Implications Within Tetrigoidea
Mitochondrial genomes of eight Scelimeninae species (Orthoptera) and their phylogenetic implications within Tetrigoidea Ran Li1, Xiaoli Ying1, Weian Deng2, Wantao Rong2 and Xiaodong Li2 1 College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, China 2 School of Chemistry and Bioengineering, Hechi University, Yizhou, China ABSTRACT Scelimeninae is a key member of the pygmy grasshopper community, and an important ecological indicator. No mitochondrial genomes of Scelimeninae have been reported to date, and the monophyly of Scelimeninae and its phylogenetic relationship within Tetrigidae is still unclear. We sequenced and analyzed eight nearly complete mitochondrial genomes representing eight genera of Scelimeninae. These mitogenomes ranged in size from 13,112 to 16,380 bp and the order of tRNA genes between COII and ATP8 was reversed compared with the ancestral order of insects. The protein-coding genes (PCGs) of tetrigid species mainly with the typical ATN codons and most terminated with complete (TAA or TAG) stop codons. Analyses of pairwise genetic distances showed that ATP8 was the least conserved gene within Tetrigidae, while COI was the most conserved. The longest intergenic spacer (IGS) region in the mitogenomes was always found between tRNASer(UCN) and ND1. Additionally, tandem repeat units were identified in the longest IGS of three mitogenomes. Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses based on the two datasets supported the monophyly of Tetriginae. Scelimeninae was classified as a non-monophyletic subfamily. -

Zoological Studies 51(1): 51-58. A dietary analysis is a frequent 1st step in studying an animal’s ecology, because its diet directly reflects resource use and can provide insights into habitat utilization and competitive interactions. Little is known concerning orthopteran species that inhabit moist or wet environments, because such species do not usually become pests. We hypothesized that aquatic orthopterans feed on only a few macrophytes, and they show trophic niche overlap. Feeding habits of 7 orthopteran species associated with macrophytes, the botanical composition of the diets of these insects, and their trophic niche breadth and overlap were analyzed from the Middle Paraná River, Argentina. The diet composition by a microanalysis of feces under an optical microscope and the frequency of occurrence of each plant, food niche breadth, niche overlap, and food specialization level of every species were determined. Only Paulinia acuminata, Marellia remipes, and Cornops aquaticum exclusively consumed aquatic plants. The water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was the unique macrophyte consumed by all orthopteran species studied, although in different proportions. -

Invertebrates Recorded from the Northern
MARIANA ISLANDS BIODIVERSITY. Short-horn grasshoppers Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Orthoptera Suborder: Caelifera Superfamilies: Tetrigoidea and Acridoidea. Diversity Micronesia – 23 species, Mariana Isl. – 10 species, CNMI - 9 species Ecological and human significance Short-horn grasshoppers are herbivores usually living in open grassy or weedy areas. Although they have been implicated in crop damage, such as maize, severe damage usually occurs only when there is a buildup of numbers, such as that occurring sometimes with the locust (Locusta migratoria). It is unlikely that any of the grasshoppers are indigenous to the Northern Mariana Islands as they are dwellers of open grassland or of, at least, low-cover, open areas. It is probable that most of the islands were mostly covered by forest prior to the advent and influence of man. It does seem that Stenocatantops splendens has recently entered the Northern Marianas, as , although it is now common on Saipan, there were no records prior to the recent (2000) collected material. It is a moderately sized animal and unlikely to be missed by collectors. Heteropternis obscurella seems, similarly, to have recently colonised the CNMI although its presence on Sarigan indicates a longer occupation period. Both species are in the University of Guam collection but were not recorded by Kevan et al 1997 from the Marianas. Conservation There are no conservation issues recognised at present, and none can really be determined until a thorough survey of the areas has been undertaken. All remaining natural habitats need to be conserved as much as possible. Identification There are no keys for in house identification, specimens have been sent (2002) to Dr. -

From the Ebony Jewelwing Damsel
Comp. Parasitol. 71(2), 2004, pp. 141–153 Calyxocephalus karyopera g. nov., sp. nov. (Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae: Actinocephalinae) from the Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly Calopteryx maculata (Zygoptera: Calopterygidae) in Southeast Nebraska, U.S.A.: Implications for Mechanical Prey–Vector Stabilization of Exogenous Gregarine Development RICHARD E. CLOPTON Department of Natural Science, Peru State College, Peru, Nebraska 68421, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Calyxocephalus karyopera g. nov., sp. nov. (Apicomplexa: Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae: Actino- cephalinae) is described from the Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly Calopteryx maculata (Odonata: Zygoptera: Calopteryigidae) collected along Turkey Creek in Johnson County, Nebraska, U.S.A. Calyxocephalus gen. n. is distinguished by the form of the epimerite complex: a terminal thick disk or linearly crateriform sucker with a distal apopetalus calyx of petaloid lobes and a short intercalating diamerite (less than half of the total holdfast length). The epimerite complex is conspicuous until association and syzygy. Association occurs immediately before syzygy and is cephalolateral and biassociative. Gametocysts are spherical with a conspicuous hyaline coat. Lacking conspicuous sporoducts they dehisce by simple rupture. Oocysts are axially symmetric, hexagonal dipyramidic in shape with slight polar truncations, bearing 6 equatorial spines, 1 at each equatorial vertex and 6 terminal spines obliquely inserted at each pole, 1 at each vertex created by polar truncation. The ecology of the C. karyopera–C. maculata host–parasite system provides a mechanism for mechanical prey–vector stabilization of exogenous gregarine development and isolation. KEY WORDS: Odonata, Zygoptera, Calopteryx maculata, damselfly, Apicomplexa, Eugregarinida, Actinocephalidae, Actinocephalinae, Calyxocephalus karyopera, new genus, new species, parasite evolution, biodiversity, species isolation, vector, transmission. -

Lehmann & Christian Monnerat Abstract Collections of Pygmy grasshoppers (Tetrigidae) and Tridactylidae were made on expeditions to Jordan in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. This country is predomi- nated in great parts by arid and semi-arid habitats, mostly stony deserts. The col- lections contain a single Tridactylidae species (Xya pfaendleri) and three Tetrigi- dae species (Paratettix meridionalis, Tetrix bolivari), including the recently de- scribed new species T. monnerati Lehmann, 2014. All four species are restricted to wet habitats, mostly near wadis, and might be used as biological indicators in a water restricted country as Jordan. Zusammenfassung Bei libellenkundlichen Untersuchungen in Jordanien 2008, 2009, 2010 und 2012 konnten begleitend Dornschrecken (Tetrigidae) und Grabschrecken (Tridactyli- dae) gesammelt werden. Das gesammelte Material beinhaltet eine einzelne Grabschreckenart (Tridactylidae: Xya pfaendleri) und drei Arten von Dornschre- cken (Tetrigidae). Neben den weit verbreiteten Tetrigidae Paratettix meridionalis und Tetrix bolivari fanden wir auch eine separat beschriebene, neue Art T. mon- nerati Lehmann, 2014. Alle vier Arten kommen nur in Feuchtgebieten vor, beson- ders im Bereich der Wadis. Jordanien hat ein trockenes Klima, in weiten Teilen geprägt von Halbwüsten und Steinwüsten. -
Zootaxa, New and Less Known Orthoptera (Insecta) from the Island
Zootaxa 2132: 53–64 (2009) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2009 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) New and less known Orthoptera (Insecta) from the island of Socotra (Yemen) BRUNO MASSA Department SENFIMIZO, University of Palermo, V.le Scienze 13, 90128 Palermo, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A list of nine species of Orthoptera collected on Socotra is reported. Three of them were previously unrecorded on the island (Trigonidium cicindeloides, Paratettix subpustulatus and Acrotylus insubricus) and one (Ochrilidia socotrae n.sp.) was undescribed. Further systematic notes on Glomeremus pileatus, G. mediopictus, Pyrgomorpha conica tereticornis, Acrotylus incarnatus and Sphingonotus insularis are included. The East African Acrotylus meruensis, previously considered synonym of A. incarnatus, is proposed as a valid species, distinct from the latter. Key words: Ochrilidia socotrae n. sp., systematic, distribution, new records Introduction Socotra is a very interesting island; originally part of the African-Arabian tectonic plate, since Tertiary it remained isolated. Its old isolation produced a very high degree of endemism both on plants and animals. Concerning Orthoptera, all authors agree with the very high number of endemic taxa, compared with the whole orthopterofauna. Socotran Orthoptera were previously recorded by Burr (1903), Krauss (1907), Uvarov and Popov (1957) and Popov (1984). I visited the island between 4th and 11st April 2008, with a group of botanists of the Botanical Garden of Palermo University. During the visit, I collected some specimens of Orthoptera; in addition, I received some others collected by P.Lo Cascio and F.Griti on February 2009. -
