Neuroptera: Sisyridae) of North America with a Key to the Larvae and Adults

BOWLES National Park Service, Heartland Network Inventory and Monitoring Program, c/o Department of Biology, Missouri State University, 901 South National Avenue, Springfield MO 65897, U.S.A. Abstract The distributions of the two genera (Climacia and Sisyra) and six species of spongillaflies known to occur in Canada, Mexico and the United States are reviewed and summarized. Several new and significant distribution records are presented for states or provinces in these countries. Species diagnoses and a revised, illustrated key to the third instar larvae and adults of all species are presented. Key words: Spongillaflies, Neuroptera, Sisyridae, Climacia, Sisyra, taxonomy, distribution Introduction Two genera and six species of Sisyridae, or spongillaflies, are known to occur in North America (Penny et al. 1997). Parfin and Gurney (1956) published a treatment of the spongillaflies of the western hemisphere that addressed these species and their known distributions at that time. Subsequently, several state or regional studies of spongillaflies in the United States have been published (Isom 1968, Poirrier 1969, Throne 1971, Poirrier & Arceneaux 1972, Brown 1974, Grigarick 1975, White 1976, Huggins 1980, Poirrier & Holzenthal 1980, Lago 1981, Stoaks et al. 1983, Lawson & McCafferty 1984, Clark 1985). Additionally, Penny et al. (1997) addressed the general distribution of sisyrids occurring in North America exclusive of Mexico, but their treatment did not include all of the previously published distribution records for the respective species. Oswald et al. (2002) listed the states of Mexico in which spongillaflies had been collected, but they did not provide specific locality data. Because of these various studies, spongillafly distributions are generally well documented from eastern North America north of Mexico. By comparison, the distributions of sisyrids in the western United States, Canada, and Accepted by S. Winterton: 11 Oct. 2006; published: 13 Nov. 2006 1.

A Species of the Family Sisyridae (Insecta: Neuroptera) in New Zealand
New Zealand Entomologist, 1998, Vol. 21 11 A species of the Family Sisyridae (Insecta: Neuroptera) in New Zealand K.A.J. WISE Auckland Museum, Private Bag 92018, Auckland ABSTRACT The Family Sisyridae (sponge-flies), genus Sisyra Burmeister, 1839 and the Australian species Sisyra rufistigma Tillyard, 1916 are recorded for the first time in New Zealand. The species is found to be established at one locality and is also recorded from two others. Keywords: Neuroptera, Sisyridae, Sisyra rufistigma, new record. INTRODUCTION In 1997, the Auckland Museum Entomologist, Mr John W. Early, collected a specimen of an unrecorded lacewing on the west coast near Auckland. Since then the author has collected the same species at two localities in North Auckland and this has now been recognised as being in the Family Sisyridae (Neuroptera). This family, commonly known as spongilla-flies or sponge-flies as the aquatic larvae are associated with freshwater sponges, has not been recorded previously in New Zealand. Males and females have been taken at one locality during the course of six weeks and the species would appear to be established. They were swept from overhanging foliage on both banks of a weir pond (Fig. 1) on the Kerikeri River. A search for immatures, by taking bottom and debris samples, has been unsuccessful. The system of wing venation nomenclature and the genitalia terminology used here follow those of Tjeder (1957). Fig. 1: Weir pond on the Kerikeri River, North Auckland.

Overwintering Stages of Sisyra Iridipennis A. Costa, 1884 (Neuroptera Sisyridae)
Ann. Mus. civ. St. nat. Ferrara Vol. 8 2005 [2007] pp. 153-159 ISSN 1127-4476 Overwintering stages of Sisyra iridipennis A. Costa, 1884 (Neuroptera Sisyridae) Laura Loru1, Roberto A.

Little is known about its life history. To determine the overwintering stages of this species, a series of surveys were carried out at Riu Bunnari (Sassari, NW Sardinia). In the period between November and February, S. iridipennis was found exclusively as a first instar larva. This spongillafly lives in environments characterized by strong summer dryness, in which the host sponge Ephydatia fluviatilis (Linnaeus,1758) (Porifera Spongillidae) exhibits a summer quiescence. It is possible that the life history strategy utilised by S. iridipennis has evolved to track this com- monly occurring poriferan. Key words – Sisyra, freshwater sponges, life cycle, Mediterranean.

Because wings have many secondary functions: camouflage, visual signaling, acustic signaling, thermo-regulation, and structural protection– and there are others, they show a wide diversity of form and often represent a compromise between their primary and various secondary functions. Read Chapman, Chapt. 9, sections 9.1- 9.7 inclusive. Wings operate along two axes, for this reason conventional morphological directional terms are not easily applied, i.e. in Orthoptera, the anterior margin of a fully extended wing might be a ventral margin when the wing is flexed or a dorsal margin in a late instar nymph. An independent set of wing surface and margin terms has been developed to overcome this problem.

Within the last few years each of the suborders has been given ordinal rank due to a reconsideration of insect classification based on cladistic or phylogenetic analyses. This has given rise to the Orders Megaloptera, Raphidioptera and Neuroptera sem strict0 (s.s., = in the narrow sense), as opposed to the Neuroptera senrrr Iato (s.l., = in the broad sense) as defined above. In this more recent classification Neuroptera S.S. = Planipennia, and the three currently recognized orders are grouped as the Neuropterida (Table 1). The Neuropterida include approximately 2 1 families and 4500 species in the world (Aspock, et al. 1980). Of these, 15 families and about 370 species occur in America north of Mexico (Penny et al., in prep.). The fauna of the Columbia River Basin is currently known to include 13 f&es and approximately 33 genera and 92 species (Table 2). These numbers are 1ikeIy to change because the regional fauna is not extensively studied. There are approximately 20 species of Neuroptera that occur in adjacent regions that are likely to occur in the Columbia River Basin. Some species almost certainly remain to be discovered, like the recently described Chrysopiella brevisetosa (Adams and Garland 198 1) and the unnamed Lomamyia sp. These species were recognized on traditional anatomical bases. Newer techniques may reveal additional taxa e.g.
