Insects of Ojibway Prairie, a Southern Ontario Tallgras Prairie

199 Chapter 9 Insects of Ojibway Prairie, a Southern Ontario Tallgrass Prairie Steve M. Paiero and Stephen A. Marshall Department of Environmental Biology, University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada Paul D. Pratt Windsor Department of Parks Windsor, Ontario, Canada Matthias Buck Department of Environmental Biology, University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada Abstract. This chapter describes the insect fauna of Ojibway Prairie, a tallgrass prairie complex in southern Ontario, highlighting the tallgrass-dependent and tallgrass-associated species among the over 2,000 insect species found there so far. The presence of tallgrass-dependent and tallgrass-associated species reflects Ojibway Prairie’s status as a fragment of a formerly more continuous grassland and thus supports the prairie peninsula hypothesis. The chapter includes a discussion of insect species associated with other southern Ontario tallgrass prairie sites and compares these species with those found in Ojibway Prairie. Also discussed are rare species found at Ojibway Prairie but not associated specifically with tallgrass habitats. Forty-four insect species new to Canada or new to Ontario (1 Orthoptera, 3 Hemiptera, 10 Coleoptera, 16 Diptera, and 14 Hymenoptera) are recorded from Ojibway Prairie. Résumé. Ce chapitre décrit l’entomofaune de la prairie Ojibway, un complexe de prairies à herbes hautes du sud de l’Ontario, en portant une attention particulière aux espèces dépendantes des herbes hautes ou associées à ces dernières et qui sont au nombre des quelque 2 000 espèces d’insectes recensées jusqu’ici à cet endroit. La présence d’insectes dépendants des herbes hautes ou associés à ces dernières est un reflet de l’état actuel de la prairie Ojibway, qui n’est plus qu’un fragment d’une prairie autrefois plus continue, et vient appuyer l’hypothèse de la « péninsule de prairie ».

RPROCEVIEW. H OFAWAIIAN HAWAIIAN ENTOMOL ANAGRUS. SOC. (2000) 34:23–48 23 A Review of the Hawaiian Species of Anagrus (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) Serguei V. Triapitsyn Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, California 92521, USA and John W. Beardsley 1026 Oak Dale Lane, Arcadia, California 91006, USA Abstract. A brief historical account of the use of Anagrus Haliday (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) in biological control in the Hawaiian Islands is given. Twelve species of Anagrus, ten of them named, are keyed and descriptive notes are provided. One new species, A. oahuensis S. Triapitsyn and Beardsley, is described and illustrated. A. osborni (Fullaway) and A. panicicolae Sahad are synonymized under A. optabilis (Perkins); A. cicadulinae Ferrière is synonymized under A. frequens Perkins. Lectotypes are desig- nated for A. cicadulinae Ferrière, A. columbi Perkins, A. frequens Perkins, A. insularis Dozier, A. yawi Fullaway and Paranagrus optabilis Perkins. Keywords: Hymenoptera, Mymaridae, Anagrus, Hawaiian Islands, biological control Introduction Nishida (1994) listed eight species of Anagrus (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) for the Ha- waiian Islands; one of which is a junior synonym of another listed species, and one which is an apparent misidentification. In the present paper we treat 12 species, one of which is described as new. Five of these species were purposely introduced for biological control of pests; the others are either relatively recent accidental introductions or are endemic. A. nigriventris Girault, one of the most common species in Hawaii, probably was introduced accidentally since there is no record of its purposeful introduction. The two species that are not identified, but which are listed as “A. sp.
A Synopsis of the Genus Stenocranus, and a New Species of Mysidia

THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE Vol. XXII JANUARY, 1922 No. 3 A SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS STENOCRANUS, AND A NEW SPECIES OF MYSIDIA. (HOMOPTERA). H. L. DOZIER State Plant Board of Mississippi The genus Stenocranus was founded by Fieber in 1866 and since that time three species have been placed in it from Europe, minutus Fab., fuscovittatus Stal. and longipennis Curt., Macul- ipes, described from South America by Berg in 1879 from a single female, has never been recognized since. In 1914, Crawford in his "Contribution towards a Monograph of the Delphacidae" described angustus from British Honduras, rostri* frons from Cuba, and similis from Alabama. Stenocranus crcecus of Van Duzee is now wrongly placed in the genus Kelisia and saccharivorus of Westwood does not seem to belong here. At present there are eight species described from the New World and the following paper brings the total up to twelve. As the original descriptions are widely scattered, for the most part in publications not readily accessible to the ordinary worker, it seems advisable at this time to review the genus, describing the new species and giving comparative outline drawings of heads and the male genitalia, all drawn to the same scale. All of the species, so far as known, with the exception of similis, occur on coarse grasses, rushes and sedges in swampy and boggy places. Similis, however, occurs abundantly on the bamboo-cane, Arundinaria tecta. Nearly all of the members of this genus are of a pale straw to brown color with a more or less distinct dorsal whitish 69 70 H.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] 2corresponding author Abstract A new species of the planthopper genus Longtania Ding (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Delphacidae), L. arcuata n. sp. (central southern China: Hubei) is described and illustrated. A revised diagnosis of Longtania and a key to known spe- cies is provided. The genus is tentatively placed in the subtribe Delphacina. The genus Platytibia is reviewed and is assigned to the subtribe Numatina sensu Emeljanov. The male genitalia of the type species, P. fe r ru gi ne a Ding is rede- scribed and illustrated. Key words: Delphacini, taxonomy, Auchenorrhyncha, planthopper Introduction The Oriental delphacid fauna is extremely rich with 152 genera recognised by Ding (2006). Of these, 60 are monotypic indicating that there may be many species still to be described. In this paper, we describe a second species of Longtania Ding previously based only on L. picea Ding as the type species. In addition, this discov- ery of a second species has allowed a more accurate definition of the genus and made it possible to validate the genus. Another monotypic genus Platytibia Ding from China is also reviewed and the male genitalia of the type species, P.

Barringer1, Charles R. Bartlett1 Abstract: The genera of New World asiracine planthoppers are reviewed and discussed in the context of new taxa discovered in canopy fogging samples from Ecuador. Twelve nomative genera, including 3 Ugyopinae and 9 Asiracinae (1 new) are reported from the New World, although the generic identity o f the single A siraca species could not be verified. A key to New World asiracinae genera, excluding A siraca, is provided. The new taxa include Pentasteira gen. nov. (Asiracinae: Platysystatini) with 1 species (P. albifrons n. sp.) and a new Tetrasteira (Asiracinae: Tetrasteirini), prompting a generic revision with three new described species (T. vulgaris, n. sp., T. trimaculata n. sp., and T. solata n. sp.). A key to the species o f Tetrasteira is provided. Tetrasteira vulgaris n. sp. has been taken in large numbers in canopy fogging samples from terre firme forest in the Amazon basin in Ecuador. Zusammenfassung: Die Gattungen der Asiracinae der Neuen Welt werden im Kontext mit neu entdeckten Taxa aus Ecuador diskutiert und revidiert. Twölf nominelle Gattungen, davon drei Ugyopinae und neun Asiracinae (eine neu) werden aus der Neuen Welt gemeldet.

Its earliest known member has been described from the Late Cretaceous (Santonian) amber of Taimyr and assigned to the extinct tribe Netutelini (Emeljanov, 1983). Szwedo (2008) described a monotypic genus from Baltic amber and placed it in a tribe of its own, Worskaitini, which he considered closely related to Netutelini.

Every species described as new, the descrip tion based wholly or in part on Colorado specimens, is included. For the year 1914, it has seemed best to include everything in the volumes of periodicals bearing that date, although some of the last numbers were not actually issued until early in 1915. The abbreviations are the same as those of the former list; t. 1.= type locality, while extinct species are marked t. The size of the list is surprising, and shows the richness of Colorado in new materials, as well as the activity of workers.
