After this publication, the list of known barkfly species in the country contains a total of 67 species. A checklist is provided with references to the original records. Keywords: Balkans, barkflies, distribution Introduction Results The insects from the order Psocoptera are very poorly Philotarsidae studied in Bulgaria. Till the author began working on barkflies, only 29 species had been registered in the Philotarsus parviceps Roesler, 1954 country (Popov 1939, 1961, Drensky, 1953, Lienhard 1998, Giese, 1964, Grigorov, 1975, Meinander, 1978, Material examined: 6.8.2020, Rila Mountains, Bo- Lienhard & Smithers, 2002, Tomov & Trencheva, rovets Resort, pine forest dominated by Picea abies, 2013, Sziráki 2013).

  • The Influence of the Type of Storage on Pest Infestation of Stored Grain in the Czech Republic
    The influence of the type of storage on pest infestation of stored grain in the Czech Republic V. Stejskal1, J. Hubert1, Z. Kučerová1, Z. Munzbergová2, 3, J. Lukáš1, E. Žďárková1 1Research Institute of Crop Production, Prague-Ruzyně, Czech Republic 2Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic 3Botanical Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Průhonice, Czech Republic ABSTRACT Stored-product pests cause high economic losses by feeding on stored grain and endanger the public health by contamina- tion of food by allergens. Therefore, the aim of this work was to explore whether the risk of infestation of stored grain by pests is different in various types of storage premises. We compared the level of infestation and the pest species compo- sition in the two main types of grain stores in Central Europe that includes horizontal flat-stores (HFS) and vertical silo- stores (elevators) (VSS). A total of 147 grain stores located in Bohemia, Czech Republic was inspected. We found that both types of stores were infested with arthropods of three main taxonomic groups: mites (25 species, 120 000 individu- als), psocids (8 species, 5 600 individuals) and beetles (23 species, 4 500 individuals). We found that VSS and HFS differ in species composition of mites, psocids and beetles. However, the primary grain pests (i.e. Lepidoglyphus destructor, Acarus siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Lachesilla pedicularia, Sitophilus oryzae, Rhyzopertha dominica, Oryzaephilus surinamensis and Cryptolestes ferrugineus) occurred in both types of stores. The only exception was higher frequency and abundance of two serious beetle-pests (Tribolium castaneum, Sitophilus granarius) in HFS than in VSS.

Crown Copyright. Cover photograph: Seven Islands Pond from Mill Hill, September 1974 (Photo Dr P.G. Morris) iv 2016 version This report was produced by a team of recent graduates, employed under the 'Community Programme' and funded by the Manpower Services Commission. The objectives of the Programme were to provide the long-term unemployed with opportunities to train or re- train, so that they might get more permanent work. This Programme funded a considerable number of environmental jobs, and provided the stepping stone for many ecologists to move into mainstream jobs. I have lost contact with most of the team members of this project, but am aware that at least one (apart from me) went onto a successful career in an ecological discipline. Looking back to the year of 1983-84, it is difficult to appreciate the achievement of the team. We commenced work in September 1983 and were due to report in late August 1984. The timing was unfortunate because we were unable to make best use of the year, with the winter occupying most of the project.

Na području Parka prirode Kopački rit utvrđeno je ukupno 866 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 84 porodice i 513 rodova. Na području Parka prirode Lonjsko polje utvrđeno je 513 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 24 porodice i 89 rodova. Na području delte rijeke Neretve utvrđeno je ukupno 348 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 89 porodica i 227 rodova. Za područje Crne Mlake nije bilo dostupne literature o nalazima kukaca. Velika vrijednost Sörensonovog indexa od 80,85% ukazuje na veliku faunističku sličnost između faune obada Kopačkoga rita i Lonjskoga polja. Najmanja sličnost u fauni obada utvrđena je između močvarnih staništa Lonjskog polja i delte rijeke Neretve, a iznosi 41,37%.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES by Alan R
    NEGLECTED INSECTS IN BEDFORDSHIRE Beds Natural History Society Conference PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES by Alan R. Outen & Ian K. Dawson PSOCOPTERA Barkflies and Booklice (also sometimes referred to as Psocids) Small insects (1.5 – 7mm) with a domed postclypeus (the area at the front of the head between antennae and mouth); long filiform antennae; simple wing venation with two ‘triangular’ cells at tip of forewing; tendency to run rather than fly. Winged barkflies usually hold their wings tent-wise over their abdomens like miniature lacewings. These species can be confused with Psyllids but can be distinguished by gently touching them – psyllids jump away, barkflies don’t. Stenopsocus immaculatus – a common species in Beds. Note the strongly domed postclypeus and long filiform antennae Barkflies - Variations on a theme Some species don’t have full-sized (macropterous) wings but have them much reduced (brachypterous) or absent (apterous). They can be confused with springtails (which however will jump away when touched). Cerobasis guestfalica has been Embidopsocus enderleini recorded from several Beds sites An uncommon species not (yet) found in Beds Available Resources • Excellent British Barkflies website which via the gallery has been brilliant in facilitating identification of this group making them accessible to all. • 2005 RES Handbook is also very good. • Keith Alexander who runs the National Recording Scheme is very helpful. Graphopsocus cruciatus – a common and distinctive Bedfordshire species THE 2005 RES handbook is also excellent with keys that are much easier to follow than many mycological ones ! …….. A Stereo zoom binocular microscope is very useful though not essential ….. …….It is remarkable what can be achieved with the aid of digital photography !! Stenopsocus immaculatus PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES 98 British spp in total of which 69 live outdoors, the rest are synanthropic.
