Type specimens from the collection of the polyneopteran insect orders (Dermaptera, Blattodea, Orthoptera, Phasmatodea) deposited in the Department of Entomology, National Museum, Prague are catalogued. We provide precise infor- mation about types of 100 taxa (5 species of Dermaptera, 3 species of Blattodea, 4 species of Phasmatodea, 55 species of Caelifera, and 33 species of Ensifera), including holotypes of 38 taxa. The year of publication of Calliptamus tenuicer- cis anatolicus MaĜan, 1952 and Calliptamus tenuicercis iracus MaĜan, 1952 are corrected. The authorship of the names traditionally ascribed to J. Obenberger is discussed in detail. Only the name Podisma alpinum carinthiacum Obenberger, 1926 is available since the publication by OBENBERGER (1926a). ‘Stenobothrus (Stauroderus) biguttulus ssp. bicolor Charp. 1825’ and ‘Stenobothrus (Stau- roderus) ssp. collinus Karny’ sensu OBENBERGER (1926a,b) refer to Gryllus bicolor Charpentier, 1825 and Stauroderus biguttulus var. collina Karny, 1907, respectively, which both have to be considered available already since their original descriptions by CHARPENTIER (1825) and KARNY (1907).

Study on Eighteen Species of Japanese Acrididae (Orthoptera)l) By Eizi Momma Zoological Institute, Faculty of Science, Hokkaido Imperial University, Sapporo (W1~th 36 Figures) During these forty years the cytological investigations of the Acridian grasshoppers have been extensively carried out by a number of investigators, and considerable contributions have been devoted to the advance of animal cytology. The orthopteran insects, especially those of the Acrididae, have proved very favourable as material for the study of chromosomes, on account of the fact that their chromosomes are large in size having clear morphological features and are relatively low in number. Over one hundred of species have been cytologically investigated since the pioneer work of McClung ('00) in this field, demonstrating many valuable and • important facts and their bearing on problems of general cytology. One of the important matters confronting the students of Acridian chromosomes is to determine the interrelationships of the chromosome complexes in the different species. The extensive studies by McClung and his colleagues have established a great uniformity and constancy of the chromosome numbers in the Acrididae. Efforts made by these investigators greatly served to homologize individual chromosomes in closely related genera and species. Recently Ramachandra Rao (,37) has made a comparative study of the chromosomes in eight genera of Pyrgomorphinae (Acrididae), in view of finding the chromosomal relationship exist­ ing among the members of this subfamily.

Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa” 62(2): 191–211. https://doi.org/10.3897/travaux.62.e48604 Abstract During 2013–2017, assemblages of bush-crickets and grasshoppers were surveyed in two neighbour- ing flysch mountains – Čergov Mts (48 sites) and Levočské vrchy Mts (62 sites) – in northern part of Western Carpathians. Species were sampled mostly at grasslands and forest edges along elevational gradient between 370 and 1220 m a.s.l. Within the entire area (ca 930 km2) we documented 54 species, representing 38% of Carpathian Orthoptera species richness. We found the same species number (45) in both mountain ranges with nine unique species in each of them. No difference in mean species rich- ness per site was found between the mountain ranges (mean ± SD = 12.5 ± 3.9). Elevation explained 2.9% of variation in site species richness. Elevation and mountain range identity explained 7.3% of assemblages composition. We found new latitudinal as well as longitudinal limits in the distribu- tion for several species.

  • In Situ Effects of Elevated CO2 on Plants and Insects
    27 (Norby et al., 1999; Murray & Ceulemans, 1998). In our trees, leaf duration was somewhat prolonged in Carpinus and Fagus growing in elevated CO2, in contrast it was reduced in Quercus. A trend needed to be verified over more years. We did not find an effect of elevated CO2 on bud break, which is in line with other studies (Acer rubrum and A. saccharum, Norby et al., 2003; Fagus sylvatica, Forstreuter, 2002; Liquidambar styraciflua, Herrick & Thomas 2003; Populus trichocarpa, Sigurdsson, 2001). The release of vegetative buds from winter dormancy is controlled by a complex suite of environmental signals, of which temperature and photoperiod are most important (Kaszkurewicz & Fogg, 1967; Campbell & Sugano, 1979; Wielgolaski, 2001). A delay of autumnal senescence has been reported for Populus trees growing in elevated CO2 (Tricker et al. 2004), and a reduced leaf duration for Rumex obtusifolius (Pearson and Brooks 1995). These results contrasts with our findings in mature forest trees. However, we found a trend towards a prolonged leaf duration in trees growing in elevated CO2 in the drought year 2003. Several more years are needed to ascertain longer-term trends, but the outcome of the first four years of treatment provide little evidence for any changes in tree growth and phenology in elevated CO2. Thus, we assume no carbon limitation of growth in these trees under current CO2 concentrations. However, enhanced below ground C-turnover indicates a rapid flux of new carbon through this system (Steinmann et al., 2004), which led us to conclude that elevated CO2 enhance fluxes rather than pools of carbon (Körner et al., in preparation).

    ARTICULATA 2014 29 (1): 21‒28 FAUNISTIK Paracaloptenus cristatus Willemse, 1973 (Orthoptera: Acrididae) recently rediscovered in Slovenia Eric Sardet, Lisbeth Zechner & Stanislav Gomboc Abstract After extensive search, we finally succeeded, in September 2011, to confirm the current presence of Paracaloptenus cristatus in Slovenia. The species inhabits remnants of xerothermic meadows surrounded by southerly exposed sub Medi- terranean to sparse montane forest habitats on Slavnik Mountain. Further obser- vations in 2012 showed that the species has reproduced well, although only a small population was located. Adult individuals were observed at the site from mid-July to the end of September. As only a limited number of individuals were present at the site, the species is highly endangered in Slovenia and should re- ceive immediate protection. Zusammenfassung Nach langer Suche ist es endlich gelungen, einen rezenten Nachweis von Para- caloptenus cristatus in Slowenien im September 2011 zu erbringen. Die Art lebt auf den Resten xerothermer Rasen an den südexponierten Hängen des Slavnik, umgeben von submediterranem bis lückigem montanem Wald. Weitere Beo- bachtungen im Jahr 2012 zeigten, dass die Art sich erfolgreich fortpflanzt, ob- wohl es sich nur um eine kleine Population handelt. Adulte Tiere wurden von Mit- te Juli bis Ende September beobachtet. Da es sich um eine kleine Population handelt, ist die Art in Slowenien als stark gefährdet einzustufen und sollte sofort geschützt werden. Introduction The genus Paracaloptenus is closely related to Calliptamus but is not so poly- morphic and wide spread as the latter. Three species of Paracaloptenus are pre- sent in Europe. Paracaloptenus caloptenoides was first described by Brunner von Wattenwyl (1861).

  • Self-Selection of Macronutrients in Two Populations of Grasshoppers
    Physiological Entomology (2008) 33, 264–273 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-3032.2008.00619.x Discriminating tastes: self-selection of macronutrients in two populations of grasshoppers DENNIS J. FIELDING and LINDA S. DEFOLIART 1Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Fairbanks, Alaska, U.S.A. Abstract . The capacity to self-select an optimal balance of macronutrients (protein and carbohydrate) is studied in two populations of Melanoplus sanguinipes F. (Orthoptera: Acrididae). One population derives from the subarctic (interior of Alaska) and the other from the temperate zone (Idaho, U.S.A.). Over the duration of the fourth and fifth stadia, Alaskan grasshoppers consistently self-select a diet cen- tred on a 0.90 ratio of protein : carbohydrate, whereas protein and carbohydrate intake by the Idaho grasshoppers is contingent on the particular food choices pre- sented to them. When restricted to imbalanced diets, the Alaskan grasshoppers develop more rapidly than the Idaho grasshoppers, regardless of diet composition. The Idaho grasshoppers also have a greater amount of lipid than the Alaskan grass- hoppers across all diets. Performance measures (body mass, survival, developmental times) are more sensitive to dietary imbalances in the Alaskan grasshoppers than in the Idaho grasshoppers. When fed diets with low, but balanced, proportions of pro- tein and carbohydrate, grasshoppers of both populations are able to increase con- sumption to compensate for the low concentration of nutrients. The results suggest that demographic responses of insects to changes in host plant quality, such as may result from climate change, may differ among populations within a species. Key words .
