Eight genera of this family (Bakeronymus Rohwer, 1922, Bareogonalos Schulz, 1907, Jezonog- onalos Tsuneki, 1991, re-instated, Lycogaster Shuckard, 1841, Orthogonalys Schulz, 1905, Pseudogonalos Schulz, 1906, Taeniogonalos Schulz, 1906 and Teranishia Tsuneki, 1991) are recorded from China. The genus Ischnogonalos Schulz, 1907, is synonymized with Taeniogonalos Schulz, 1906. In total 40 valid spe- cies are recognized. Twenty species are new for science: Jezonogonalos elliptifera sp. n., J. jiangliae sp. n., J. luteata sp. n., J. nigrata sp. n., Lycogaster angustula sp. n., L. flavonigrata sp. n., L. nigralva sp. n., Orthogonalys cheni sp. n., O. clypeata sp. n., O. robusta sp. n., Pseudogonalos angusta sp. n., Taeniogonalos bucarinata sp. n., T. cordata sp. n., T. geminata sp. n., T. sculpturata sp. n., T. triangulata sp. n., T. tricolori- soma sp. n., T. uncifera sp. n., Teranishia crenulata sp. n. and T. glabrata sp. n.

We con- secretions; in particular, volicitin [N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)- ducted FAC screening of 29 lepidopteran species, and found L-glutamine] and its biochemical precursor, N-linolenoyl-L- them in 19 of these species. Thus, FACs are commonly glutamine, are known elicitors of induced volatile emissions synthesized through a broad range of lepidopteran cater- in corn plants. These induced volatiles, in turn, attract natural pillars. Since all FAC-containing species had N-linolenoyl-L- enemies of the caterpillars. In a previous study, we showed glutamine and/or N-linoleoyl-L-glutamine in common, and that N-linolenoyl-L-glutamine in larval Spodoptera litura the evolutionarily earliest species among them had only plays an important role in nitrogen assimilation which might these two FACs, these glutamine conjugates might be the be an explanation for caterpillars synthesizing FACs despite evolutionarily older FACs. Furthermore, some species had an increased risk of attracting natural enemies. However, glutamic acid conjugates, and some had hydroxylated FACs. Comparing the diversity of FACs with lepidopteran phylog- eny indicates that glutamic acid conjugates can be synthe- N.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

Of the five species treated, four species are de- scribed as new: L. nigrilineata sp. n., L. solivaga sp. n., L. subtrapezia sp. n. and L. viridis sp. n. A diagnosis of L. muscosalis (Walker, 1866) is given. Photographs of adults and the genitalia are provided, along with a key to the five Chinese species treated. Keywords Description, diagnosis, key, morphology, taxonomy Introduction Locastra Walker, 1859 was established in the Noctuoidea to accommodate four species: L. maimonalis Walker, 1859, L. phereciusalis Walker, 1858, L. sagarisalis Walker, 1858, and L. haraldusalis Walker, 1859. Only the first species, L. maimonalis, still remains in this genus. Hampson (1896a) designated L. maimonalis as the type species and transferred Locastra to the Epipaschiinae in the Pyralidae.

ZooKeys 130: 343–361. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.130.1438 Abstract The head capsule of a taxon sample of three outgroup and 86 ingroup taxa is examined for characters of possible phylogenetic significance within Hymenoptera. 21 morphological characters are illustrated and scored, and their character evolution explored by mapping them onto a phylogeny recently produced from a large morphological data set. Many of the characters are informative and display unambiguous changes.

  • A Natural History of Conspecific Aggregations in Terrestrial Arthropods, with Emphasis on Cycloalexy in Leaf Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Summary Aggregations of conspecifics are ubiquitous in the biological world. In arthropods, such aggregations are generated and regulated through complex interactions of chemical and mechanical as well as abiotic and biotic factors. Aggregations are often functionally associated with facilitation of defense, thermomodula- tion, feeding, and reproduction, amongst others. Although the iconic aggregations of locusts, fireflies, and monarch butterflies come to mind, many other groups of arthropods also aggregate. Cycloalexy is a form of circular or quasicircular aggregation found in many animals. In terrestrial arthropods, cycloalexy appears to be a form of defensive aggregation although we cannot rule out other functions, particularly thermomodulation. In insects, cycloalexic-associated behaviors may include coordinated movements, such as the adoption of seemingly threatening postures, regurgitation of presumably toxic compounds, as well as biting movements. These behaviors appear to be associated with attempts to repel objects perceived to be threatening, such as potential predators or parasitoids.

  • Extensive Gene Rearrangements in the Mitochondrial Genomes of Two Egg
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Extensive gene rearrangements in the mitochondrial genomes of two egg parasitoids, Trichogramma Received: 31 January 2017 Accepted: 20 April 2018 japonicum and Trichogramma Published: xx xx xxxx ostriniae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Trichogrammatidae) Long Chen1, Peng-Yan Chen2,3, Xiao-Feng Xue1, Hai-Qing Hua1, Yuan-Xi Li1, Fan Zhang2 & Shu-Jun Wei2 Animal mitochondrial genomes usually exhibit conserved gene arrangement across major lineages, while those in the Hymenoptera are known to possess frequent rearrangements, as are those of several other orders of insects. Here, we sequenced two complete mitochondrial genomes of Trichogramma japonicum and Trichogramma ostriniae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Trichogrammatidae). In total, 37 mitochondrial genes were identifed in both species. The same gene arrangement pattern was found in the two species, with extensive gene rearrangement compared with the ancestral insect mitochondrial genome. Most tRNA genes and all protein-coding genes were encoded on the minority strand. In total, 15 tRNA genes and seven protein-coding genes were rearranged. The rearrangements of cox1 and nad2 as well as most tRNA genes were novel. Phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequences of protein-coding genes and on gene arrangement patterns produced identical topologies that support the relationship of (Agaonidae + Pteromalidae) + Trichogrammatidae in Chalcidoidea. CREx analysis revealed eight rearrangement operations occurred from presumed ancestral gene order of Chalcidoidea to form the derived gene order of Trichogramma. Our study shows that gene rearrangement information in Chalcidoidea can potentially contribute to the phylogeny of Chalcidoidea when more mitochondrial genome sequences are available. A typical animal mitochondrial genome is composed of 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA and two rRNA genes, and a major non-coding sequence called the control region1.
