The article presents the summary of information concerning the types of eleven species of the genus Doliops Waterh. and the types of two species of the genus Lamprobityle Heller, 1923 (stat. nov.) deposited in Senckenberg Natural History collections Dresden (Germany) (SMTD). New synonymy is proposed: the genus Stenodoliops Vives, 2009 is considered as a junior synonym of the genus Lamprobityle Heller, 1923. Two new species are described, one of which belongs to the genus Doliops Waterh, but the other to the genus Lamprobityle Heller, 1923. One species of the genus Doliops Waterh., D. magnifica (Heller, 1923), has been transferred to the genus Lamprobityle Heller, 1923. A Check-list of the genus Lamprobityle Heller is added.

Sixteen species have additional distribution records since their description. Keywords: Cerambycidae, Doliops, new record, Philippines, Taiwan Introduction The genus Doliops Waterhouse, 1841 (Cerambycidae) has been intensively studied in the recent years (Barševskis 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018; Barševskis & Jaeger 2014; Cabras & Barsevskis, 2015; Yoshitake & Yamasako, 2016; Cabras & Medina, 2019; Barsevskis & Cabras, 2019). Species are associated with forested habitats and due to intensive deforestation, they are listed as Threatened in the National List of Threatened Philippine Fauna (DENR-Dao, 2017). However, scientists and foresters lack basic information on their distributions, leading to difficulty in formulating successful conservation action plans for these endangered taxa.

Fields Cold tolerance of the warehouse beetle, Trogoderma variabile. The cold tolerance of Trogoderma variabile from lowest to highest was egg, adult, 3rd instar larvae, pupae and 5th instar larvae. Acclimation at 15 to 5°C over 6 weeks increased cold hardiness in 5th instar larvae from 32 to 240 d (Lethal Time for 95% mortality). Diapause increased cold tolerance. The supercooling point varied from a high of -9.9°C for 5th instar larvae non-acclimated to a low of -23.7°C for 5th instar larvae cold-acclimated. 2. Abram, P.K., T. Haye, P.G. Mason, N.

We conducted the first thorough investigations of the biological relationships between the platygastrid parasitoid Synopeas myles Walker (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) and its host Contarinia nasturtii Kieffer (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) including host stage suitability, immature development, and host discrimination. 3.

Cabras*, 2Genelyn Madjos & 3Milton Norman D. Medina 1,3Coleoptera Research Center, University of Mindanao, Matina, Davao City, 8000, Philippines 2Western Mindanao State University, Zamboanga City, Philippines Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract A new Metapocyrtus Heller, 1912 belonging to subgenus Dolichocephalocyrtus Schultze from Zamboanga Peninsula, Philippines is described with notes on its habitat and mimicry. The new species Metapocyrtus (Dolichocephalocyrtus) zamboanganus sp. nov. is sympatric with and believed to have a mimetic relation with Pachyrhynchus sp., Polycatus jageri, and Doliops basilana zamboangana. Keywords: Dolichocephalocyrtus, mimicry, new species, taxonomy, weevil Introduction Zamboanga is a region in western Mindanao politically belonging to Region IX or Zamboanga Peninsula and a distinct biogeographic region together with the island of Basilan (Vallejo, 2011; Dickerson et al., 1928). Mindanao is believed to have formed from accretion or integration of several islands which contributes to its high biodiversity and unique species composition (Hall, 1998; Heaney et al.,1998). The island is divided geologically into two blocks, the island-arc- related eastern-central Mindanao block and the continental Zamboanga Peninsula, and biogeographically into 4 sub-regions of which Zamboanga Peninsula and Basilan belong to one biogeographic region while its neighboring islands Sulu and Tawi-tawi belongs to separate region (Yumul et al.

Una bacteria que asimila el arsénico, no es muy común et acusamos la pobre NASA de hacer con esto publicidad para la exobiología y obtener créditos extra. Es cierto que Obama es muy ecónomo con los programas de exploración lunar y marciana. Queremos saber si existe vida en otro lugar que en nuestro planeta azul.
