E-mail: [email protected]; 2Enns Entomology Museum, Division of Plant Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65211, U.S.A. E-mail: sitesr@missouri. edu. *Corresponding author. ABSTRACT The state of taxonomy of the Mexican fauna of the family Naucoridae is summarized and is fairly complete as a result of recent research. Currently, 71 species from six genera and four subfamilies have been recorded from the country. Species richness is distributed in the subfamilies Cryphocricinae: Ambrysus Stål (53), Cataractocoris Usinger (3), Cryphocricos Signoret (2); Laccocorinae: Interocoris La Rivers (1); Limnocorinae: Limnocoris Stål (10); and Naucorinae: Pelocoris Stål (2). Recent works have focused on the fauna of the genus Ambrysus. Additionally, studies are required for the genera Cryphocricos and Pelocoris, while a taxonomic revision of the genus Limnocoris is close to completion. A key to the subfamilies and genera of Naucoridae from Mexico is provided. Key words: distribution, aquatic insects, Hemiptera, North America. RESUMEN Se resume el conocimiento taxonómico de la fauna Mexicana de la familia Naucoridae, el cual es bastante completo debido a estudios recientes. Actualmente se encuentran registradas para el país 71 species pertenecientes a seis géneros y cuatro subfamilias. -

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). -
Aquatic Insects and Their Potential to Contribute to the Diet of the Globally Expanding Human Population

Williams 2 1 Department of Biological Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough, 1265 Military Trail, Toronto, ON M1C1A4, Canada 2 The Wildlife Trust, The Manor House, Broad Street, Great Cambourne, Cambridge CB23 6DH, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Academic Editors: Kerry Wilkinson and Heather Bray Received: 28 April 2017; Accepted: 19 July 2017; Published: 21 July 2017 Abstract: Of the 30 extant orders of true insect, 12 are considered to be aquatic, or semiaquatic, in either some or all of their life stages. Out of these, six orders contain species engaged in entomophagy, but very few are being harvested effectively, leading to over-exploitation and local extinction. Examples of existing practices are given, ranging from the extremes of including insects (e.g., dipterans) in the dietary cores of many indigenous peoples to consumption of selected insects, by a wealthy few, as novelty food (e.g., caddisflies). The comparative nutritional worth of aquatic insects to the human diet and to domestic animal feed is examined. Questions are raised as to whether natural populations of aquatic insects can yield sufficient biomass to be of practicable and sustained use, whether some species can be brought into high-yield cultivation, and what are the requirements and limitations involved in achieving this? Keywords: aquatic insects; entomophagy; human diet; animal feed; life histories; environmental requirements 1. Introduction Entomophagy (from the Greek ‘entoma’, meaning ‘insects’ and ‘phagein’, meaning ‘to eat’) is a trait that we Homo sapiens have inherited from our early hominid ancestors. -
A Preliminary Survey of the Aquatic and Semiaquatic Hemiptera
Polhemus and Polhemus: Aquatic Hemiptera of Desert Hot Springs 1 A preliminary survey of the aquatic and semiaquatic Hemiptera occurring in the springs of the Railroad Valley, White River, and Amargosa River drainage systems, Nevada and California, with special reference to thermal relicts Dan A. Polhemus Dept. of Entomology, Bishop Museum, P. 0. Box 19000-A, Honolulu, HI 96817 ard John T. Polhemus Univ. of Colorado Museum, 3115 S. York St., Englewood, CO 80110 INTRODUCTION One of the most remarkable concentrations of disjunct and endemic aquatic Hemiptera in North America is found in the thermal refugia of the Railroad Valley, White River, and Amargosa River drainages of Nevada and California. These drainages represent former tributaries to the Colorado system that were continuous systems in the Pliocene and Pleistocene, but have been subsequently dessicated and reduced to discontinous spring fed aquatic refugia. The thermal springs of these three systems contain a large number of endemic aquatic Hemiptera species, as well as many highly disjunct populations of other taxa. The current report details the distributions of these species, addresses certain taxonomic problems relating to them, and considers the biogeographic significance of this thermally relictual fauna. LOCALITIES SAMPLED The information upon which this report is based has been collected by the authors over a period of thirty years, and in many cases the passage of several decades has seen a serious degredation of the aquatic habita~s listed below. For this reason an attempt has been made in the last three years to revisit many of the most critical habitats and &scertain the status of their aquatic Hemiptera faunas. -
