Invertebrate Fauna of Wadi Al-Quff Protected Area, Palestine
80 Jordan Journal of Natural History Invertebrate Fauna of Wadi Al-Quff Protected Area, Palestine Mazin Qumsiyeh Palestine Museum of Natural History and Palestine Institute of Biodiversity and Sustainability, Bethlehem University ABSTRACT We report results of a preliminary survey of the invertebrate fauna of Wadi Al-Quff area (occupied Palestine). We recorded 23 species of butterflies in 5 families. Moths were a difficult group to classify but we have at least 45 species. Dragon flies and damsel flies were noted in the Wadi Hasaka area. Four mantids in three families, two species of stick insects, one earwig species (Dermeptera) and at least seven species of Orthoptera were noted. There were at least 13 species of Hemiptera (true bugs) and 5 species of Neuroptera (netwing insects). We noted at least 13 species in ten families of the Order Diptera (the flies). We also collected/observed at least 17 species of Hymenoptera in eight families. In the Order Blattoidae (roaches), we noted two species only but the Order Coleoptera (Beetles) was very richly represented with at least 23 species in 10 families. Among parasitic arthropods we collected two species of fleas and three species of ticks (Ixodidae), one of the latter involved in transmittal of spotted fever. Five species of scorpions were noted, the largest being the Jericho or Mt. Nebo scorpion Nebo hierichonticus and the smallest being the brown scorpion Compsubuthus werneri. Two species of pseudoscorpions and two species of camel spiders were collected. A more difficult group was the regular spiders (Araneae) and we noted over two dozen species in at least 8 families. -

Describing Undiscovered Insect Diversity: an Introduction to Collected Papers Describing 150 New Taxa
Zootaxa 3478: 7–10 (2012) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2012 · Magnolia Press Editorial ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:BE8BE638-A9E4-415D-8ADA-493BBCCE55B7 Describing undiscovered insect diversity: an introduction to collected papers describing 150 new taxa ZHI-QIANG ZHANG New Zealand Arthropod Collection, Landcare Research, 231 Morrin Road, St. Johns, Auckland 1072, New Zealand; E-mail: [email protected] The number of species on earth is estimated to be 8.7 million, with 87% of them to be discovered and described (Mora et al. 2011). The total of 8.7 million seems to be an underestimate, because for Animalia alone, over 1.5 million species have been described (Zhang 2011b). The most successful group, the Insecta, accounts for almost two-thirds of all animals. Zootaxa has been a major force in facilitating the descriptions of undiscovered animal species in the world—publishing about 20% of all new species indexed in Zoological Record each year (Zhang 2011a). In the first week since the publication of the ICZN amendment allowing e-only publication (ICZN 2012), Zootaxa has published 484 new taxa. In this special volume highlighting undiscovered global diversity of insects, Zootaxa publishes 150 new taxa (143 species + 7 genera) of 12 insect orders in 44 papers by authors from different parts of the world (Table 1).

Adults of all species and male and/or female genitalia for most species are figured. Two new species are described: L. samandooki Rajaei sp. nov. from Iran and L. hreblayi Rajaei & Viidalepp sp. nov. from Pakistan. L. repeteki Tsvetajev and L. griseata gigantea Bytinski-Salz & Brandt are synonymized with L. obliquata Urbahn and L. griseata griseata (Denis & Schiffermüller), respectively. L. amseli Wiltshire is discussed as a possible synonym of L. amoenata Christoph. L. flavicornata (Zeller) is upgraded to species-rank again. Distribution areas of all species discussed are shown by maps. Literature data concerning faunistics, ecology, and biological data are reviewed. Female genitalia of L. obliquata Urbahn, L. turkmenica Tsvetajev, and L. luminosata Christoph, are figured and their morphological characters compared with other taxa for the first time. -

We investigated diversification patterns and historical biogeography of a hyperdiverse lineage of female flightlessness Lepidoptera, the geometrid moths, by studying its most species-rich tribe Boarmiini, which comprises ca. 200 boarmiines genera and ca. known 3000 species. We inferred the evolutionary relationships of Boarmiini based on a dataset of Cleora Biston 346 taxa, with up to eight genetic markers under a maximum likelihood approach. -
Lepidoptera Recorded from the Swamp Lover's Preserve in Dane County, Wisconsin in Late April and Mid May of 2011
Lepidoptera Recorded from the Swamp Lover's Preserve in Dane County, Wisconsin in Late April and Mid May of 2011 Hugo Kons Jr. & Robert J. Borth February 2013, DRAFT; last update February 2014 Abstract We report 120 species of Lepidoptera collected at the Swamp Lover's Preserve in Dane County, Wisconsin during late April and mid May of 2011, including 119 species of Macrolepidoptera. Surveys were conducted primarily in upland southern mesic hardwood forest with a UV trap and four bait traps, although we also did a small amount of diurnal collecting. Lists of species recorded from UV trap and bait trap samples over 1-3 day intervals are provided. Some notable Lepidoptera records for Wisconsin, discussed in more detail, include Cleora sublunaria (Geometridae), Nola ovilla (Noctuidae), Nycteola metaspilella (Noctuidae), and Cerma cora (Noctuidae). Acknowledgments We are very grateful to Jerry Goth for his support of our collecting research at the Preserve and also for hosting us at his residence while we were doing research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We thank both Gerry Goth and Lee Swanson for managing a preserve dedicated to the preservation of natural communities where collection based research is encouraged. We are also indebted to Kyle Johnson (who has conducted extensive Lepidoptera research at the preserve) for showing us around the preserve, arranging permission for us to stay there, and for much other assistance both with our surveys at the preserve and the research we were doing concurrently at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Introduction The Swamp Lover's Preserve is located in Dane County, Wisconsin, in a biologically interesting area where two ecoregions converge: the driftless area of southwestern Wisconsin and the glaciated eastern ridges and lowlands of southeastern Wisconsin. -
