The goal of this study was to evaluate the abundance and species richness of Cicadellidae and Delphacidae and the presence of potential vectors of viruses and mollicutes in maize crops in Brazil. Insects were collected using sweep nets in maize crops in 48 counties of 8 states, distributed in 4 regions of Brazil in the yr 2005, 2006 and 2007, with a total of 198 samples. The collected material was screened, and the leafhoppers and planthoppers were identi- fied at the species level.

The evaluation of genetic relationships within Acridid grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Caelifera, Acrididae) on the subfamily level using molecular markers. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 67: 119-126. Over the last few decades, molecular markers have been extensively used to study phylogeny, population dynamics, and genome mapping in insects and other taxa. Phylogenetic methods using DNA markers are inexpensive, fast and simple to use, and may help greatly to resolve phylogenetic relationships in groups with problematic taxonomy. However, different markers have various levels of phylogenetic resolution, and it’s important to choose the right set of molecular markers for a studied taxonomy level. Acrididae is the most diverse family of grasshoppers. Many attempts to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within it did not result in a clear picture, partially because of the limited number of molecular markers used. We have tested a phylogenetic resolution of three sets of the most commonly utilized mitochondrial molecular markers available for Acrididae sequences in the database: (i) complete protein-coding mitochondrial sequences, (ii) concatenated mitochondrial genes COI, COII, and Cytb, and (iii) concatenated mitochondrial genes COI and COII.
  • Diversity and Abundance of Insect Herbivores Foraging on Seedlings in a Rainforest in Guyana

    Diversity and Abundance of Insect Herbivores Foraging on Seedlings in a Rainforest in Guyana

    R Ecological Entomology (1999) 24, 245±259 Diversity and abundance of insect herbivores foraging on seedlings in a rainforest in Guyana YVES BASSET CABI Bioscience: Environment, Ascot, U.K. Abstract. 1. Free-living insect herbivores foraging on 10 000 tagged seedlings representing ®ve species of common rainforest trees were surveyed monthly for more than 1 year in an unlogged forest plot of 1 km2 in Guyana. 2. Overall, 9056 insect specimens were collected. Most were sap-sucking insects, which represented at least 244 species belonging to 25 families. Leaf-chewing insects included at least 101 species belonging to 16 families. Herbivore densities were among the lowest densities reported in tropical rainforests to date: 2.4 individuals per square metre of foliage. 3. Insect host speci®city was assessed by calculating Lloyd's index of patchiness from distributional records and considering feeding records in captivity and in situ. Generalists represented 84 and 78% of sap-sucking species and individuals, and 75 and 42% of leaf-chewing species and individuals. In particular, several species of polyphagous xylem-feeding Cicadellinae were strikingly abundant on all hosts. 4. The high incidence of generalist insects suggests that the Janzen±Connell model, explaining rates of attack on seedlings as a density-dependent process resulting from contagion of specialist insects from parent trees, is unlikely to be valid in this study system. 5. Given the rarity of ¯ushing events for the seedlings during the study period, the low insect densities, and the high proportion of generalists, the data also suggest that seedlings may represent a poor resource for free-living insect herbivores in rainforests.

Heteroptera, Gerromorpha, labial tip sensilla, pattern, morphology, function, apomorphic characters Abstract. The present study provides new data on the morphology and distribution of the labial tip sensilla of 41 species of 20 gerro- morphan (sub)families (Heteroptera: Gerromorpha) obtained using a scanning electron microscope. There are eleven morphologically distinct types of sensilla on the tip of the labium: four types of basiconic uniporous sensilla, two types of plate sensilla, one type of peg uniporous sensilla, peg-in-pit sensilla, dome-shaped sensilla, placoid multiporous sensilla and elongated placoid multiporous sub- apical sensilla. Based on their external structure, it is likely that these sensilla are thermo-hygrosensitive, chemosensitive and mechano- chemosensitive. There are three different designs of sensilla in the Gerromorpha: the basic design occurs in Mesoveliidae and Hebridae; the intermediate one is typical of Hydrometridae and Hermatobatidae, and the most specialized design in Macroveliidae, Veliidae and Gerridae. No new synapomorphies for Gerromorpha were identified in terms of the labial tip sensilla, multi-peg structures and shape of the labial tip, but eleven new diagnostic characters are recorded for clades currently recognized in this infraorder.

Nathanacris quadrimaculata gen. et sp. n. is described from Anaimalai Hills in South India. The systematic position of this acridid genus is not yet clear. For the time being we propose to arrange the genus under the unclassified group of Catantopinae sensu lato.

Podisma kanoi sp. n. and Podisma sapporensis ashibetsuensis ssp. n. from Japan are described. The new synonyms are established: Rhinopodisma MISTSHENKO, 1954 = Aserratus HUANG, 1981, syn. n., Sinopodisma CHANG, 1940 = Pedopodisma ZHENG, 1980, syn. n., Parapodisma MISTSHENKO, 1947 = Pseudoparapodisma INOUE, 1985, syn. n., Monopterus FISCHER-WALDHEIM, 1846 = Bohemanella RAMME, 1951, syn.n. Tribe Melanoplini SCUDDER, 1897 Type genus: Melanoplus STAL, 1873. Notes The tribe Melanoplini was established by S.SCUDDER (1897) as a group Melanopli. JACOBSON (1905) proposed Podismini as a new name for this group. In the most modem classification the position of tribe Melanoplini is following: MISTSHENKO (1952) considered it as a tribe Podismini of subfamily Catanto­ pinae (Acrididae); UVAROV (1966) as Catantopinae (without division on tribes); DIRSH (1975) as subfamily Podisminae of family Catantopidae; HARZ (1975) as tribe Podismini of subfamily Catantopinae (Acrididae); VICKERY & KEVAN (1983) as subfamily Melanoplinae of family Acrididae with two tribes (Melanoplini and Podismini) and YIN (1984) as subfamily Podisminae of family Oedipodidae.

Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Dept. Agriculture; 26 p. September 1997 Specimens representing 19 orders and 169 arthropod families (mostly insects) were collected from greenleaf manzanita brushfields in northeastern California and identified to species whenever possible. More than500 taxa below the family level wereinventoried, and each listing includes relative frequency of encounter, life stages collected, and dominant role in the greenleaf manzanita community. Specific host relationships are included for some predators and parasitoids. Herbivores, predators, and parasitoids comprised the majority (80 percent) of identified insects and related taxa.
