    MISSIONS TECHNIQUES Intervenants : Daniel LE DIASCORN et Jean-Guy MOREAU. BULLETIN INFOS Les missions techniques ont pour but d’équiper des CSB situés dans la région de Diego Suarez, d’installations électriques solaires. Ces installations sont composées de panneaux solaires et de batteries 12 volts qui distribuent la JUIN 201 2 lumière dans le bâtiment et fournissent une source de 220 v par l’intermédiaire d’un convertisseur 12 v – 220 v. Depuis 2006 les missions techniques ont permis d’équiper cinq CSB de Mahavanona, Berafia, Ankétrakabé, Joffreville et Mangaoka. Suivant les disponibilités financières et techniques de l'association, il est possible d’équiper un centre par an, tout en assurant la maintenance et l’amélioration de ceux existants. Les programmes d’intervention sont élaborés en accord avec la Direction Régionale de la Santé, représentée par le Dr Romeline et le bureau du Conseil EDITO Général du Finistère à Diego. Une mission technique est prévue pour la période d'octobre – novembre 2012. Le Dr Romeline et le CG29 nous ont proposé pour la prochaine mission de réhabiliter des sites équipés il y a plusieurs Réflexions… années, mais dont les installations sont hors d’usage à la suite de la défaillance de certains éléments (généralement les batteries). Voici venu le temps du bulletin de l’été. Les annonces faites lors du dernier se sont réalisées. Le repas malgache du 4 février a été un succès : la cuisine d’Anne et ses copines était, comme toujours, bonne Les sites proposés sont : et l’ambiance fort amicale. Nous avons participé à bien des manifestations organisées par ou pour les associations brestoises.

Hassan* * Zoological Survey of India, ‘M’ Block, New Alipore, Kolkata-700053, INDIA. E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] [Mukherjee, P. & Hassan, M. E. 2016. Reduviidae (Heteroptera: Hemiptera) recorded as new from Odisha, India. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 11 (2): 501-507] ABSTRACT: The paper presents ten new records viz. Rhynocoris squalus (Distant), Staccia diluta (Stal), Oncocephalus notatus Klug, Oncocephalus fuscinotum Reuter, Ectrychotes dispar Reuter, Androclus pictus (Herr-Schiff), Ectomocoris tibialis Distant, Lisarda annulosa Stal, Acanthaspis quinquespinosa (Fabricius) and Acanthaspis flavipes Stal of the family Reduviidae from the state of Odisha, India. General characters of the group, keys to various taxa, diagnostic characters, synonymies, distribution in India and elsewhere under each species are also provided. KEY WORDS: Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Odisha The members of the family Reduviidae are commonly known as “Assassin bugs”. Most of the species of Reduviidae are nocturnal. The family Reduviidae belongs to the superfamily Reduvoidea of the suborder Heteroptera under the order Hemiptera of class Insecta. Their large size and aggressive nature enable them to predate and eat many insects. With more than 6878 described species and subspecies under 981 genera belonging to 25 subfamilies of the family Reduviidae recorded from the world (Henry, 2009) are one of the largest and morphologically most diverse group of Heteroptera or true bugs. Of which, 465 species under 144 genera belonging to 14 subfamilies are recorded from India (Biswas and Mitra, 2011). Distant (1904, 1910) recorded three species from Berhampur, Odisha viz Acanthaspis rama Distant of Reduviinae, Ectomocoris ochropterus Stal and Peirates flavipes (Walker) of Peiratinae.

  • Madagascar Have Evolved Independently from the Rest of the Planet
    M ADAGASCAR: THE EIGHTH CONTINENT SEPTEMBER 3 - 16, 2019 Cut off from the African mainland more than 100 million years ago, the flora and fauna of Madagascar have evolved independently from the rest of the planet. The result: nearly eighty percent of its species exist nowhere else on Earth, garnering Madagascar the nickname “the Eighth Continent.” Explore three of Madagascar’s fascinating national parks in search of lemurs, chameleons, orchids, baobabs, geckoes and much more. Search for the Indri indri, the largest species of lemur, in the orchid-filled rainforest, then hike through the dramatic, eroded limestone towers known as “tsingy” in search of the crowned lemur and demonic-looking leaf-tailed gecko. Despite the deforestation the island has experienced, Madagascar remains one of the most beautiful and fascinating places on Earth, and much of its natural heritage continues to flourish in its parks. GROUP SIZE: 10-17 guests PRICING: $7,995 per person double occupancy / $8,945 single occupancy STUDY LEADER: James Costa, is Executive Director of the Highlands Biological Station in Highlands, North Carolina, and Professor of Biology at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, where he has taught courses in genetics, entomology, biogeography and evolution. An entomologist with a special interest in social evolution, Jim has been a Research Associate in Entomology in the Museum of Comparative Zoology since 1996, and the author of numerous research papers, reviews, and the book The Other Insect Societies (Harvard, 2006). Over the past dozen years Jim's research and writing have largely focused on Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, and the history of evolutionary biology, including three books with Harvard University Press: The Annotated Origin (2009), On the Organic Law of Change (2013), and Wallace, Darwin, and the Origin of Species (2014).
