  • An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna
    © Copyright Australian Museum, 2005 Records of the Australian Museum (2005) Vol. 57: 375–446. ISSN 0067-1975 An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna M.S. MOULDS Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. The history of cicada family classification is reviewed and the current status of all previously proposed families and subfamilies summarized. All tribal rankings associated with the Australian fauna are similarly documented. A cladistic analysis of generic relationships has been used to test the validity of currently held views on family and subfamily groupings. The analysis has been based upon an exhaustive study of nymphal and adult morphology, including both external and internal adult structures, and the first comparative study of male and female internal reproductive systems is included. Only two families are justified, the Tettigarctidae and Cicadidae. The latter are here considered to comprise three subfamilies, the Cicadinae, Cicadettinae n.stat. (= Tibicininae auct.) and the Tettigadinae (encompassing the Tibicinini, Platypediidae and Tettigadidae). Of particular note is the transfer of Tibicina Amyot, the type genus of the subfamily Tibicininae, to the subfamily Tettigadinae. The subfamily Plautillinae (containing only the genus Plautilla) is now placed at tribal rank within the Cicadinae. The subtribe Ydiellaria is raised to tribal rank. The American genus Magicicada Davis, previously of the tribe Tibicinini, now falls within the Taphurini. Three new tribes are recognized within the Australian fauna, the Tamasini n.tribe to accommodate Tamasa Distant and Parnkalla Distant, Jassopsaltriini n.tribe to accommodate Jassopsaltria Ashton and Burbungini n.tribe to accommodate Burbunga Distant.

  • Chapter 10 Insects As
    CHAPTER TEN INSECTS 10.1 The insect fauna of south central Seram The insect fauna of Seram is extraordinarily diverse and abundant. Forbes, 1885: 291, writing in his A Naturalist's Wanderings, reports that on Ambon alone insects - particularly beetles - are numerous and of great variety. By the end of the nineteenth century, Ribbe [Ribbe, 1892: 46] had recorded some 19,000 different species, including 10,000 butterflies, and reckoned to collect 300 insects daily. Today the number of certain species for all orders of insects must be many more than this. Clearly, only a very few specimens compared with the total number of known species were col- lected in the field, but even so they constitute the largest single group of specimens. Most importantly they include all common species encountered by the Nuaulu. A checklist of insect species for which specimens were col- lected in south Seram is presented in table 17. 10.2 Nuaulu categories applied to insects Nuaulu terms for insects represent the largest single group in their animal inventory and provide the ethnographer with the greatest problems in presentation and analysis. 10.2.1 makasisi popole The Nuaulu name for this predaceous insect, in AM `capung', relates to its habit of feeding on insects (such as mosquitos) immediately above fresh water, and to the touching of the surface of the water or tips of plants with its tail. Maka comes from makae (`hard'), referring to the head; and sisi, meaning 'to tap, touch or scrape'. Thus eresisi waene is 'to scrape (the) water', where ere is a pronominal vowel prefix indicating a non-human actor.

  • Eben Kirksey Lively Multispecies Communities, Deadly Racial
    South Atlantic Quarterly AGAINST the DAY Eben Kirksey Lively Multispecies Communities, Deadly Racial Assemblages, and the Promise of Justice Multispecies ethnographers, from the outset, have worked to get beyond the notion of the nonhuman. Following Susan Leigh Star, we have assumed that “non-human is like non-white—it implies a lack of something” (Kirksey and Helmreich 2010: 555). Recently Alexander Weheliye reinforced this point as it applies to people. Weheliye (2014: 4) describes how “racializing assemblages” divide up groups of people “into full humans, not-quite humans, and non-humans.” People who are marked by racial assemblages are routinely abused or killed, and they often have no standing before the law (Weheliye 2014; cf. Wolfe 2013). The notion of the nonhuman often subjects people, plants, and animals to slow violence (cf. Nixon 2011)—marking cat- egories of life as expendable, external to the value system of capitalism. Communities confined to the realm of bare life zoe( ) are routinely exposed to toxic chemicals and infectious diseases, and they are sometimes targeted for outright destruction. Indigenous peoples worldwide have lived with racial assemblages that render them killable. Ongoing processes of dispossession, displacement, and genocide are taking place in human worlds as plant and animal commu- nities are rendered into “natural resources” for extractive industry or pictur- esque backdrops for tourism (Haritaworn 2015: 210). Kim Tallbear (2015: 234) notes that recent critiques of settler colonialism “clearly link

  • Evolution and Phylogeny of the New Zealand Cicada Genus Kikihia
    Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2004) 31, 1769–1783 ORIGINAL Evolution and phylogeny of the New ARTICLE Zealand cicada genus Kikihia Dugdale (Homoptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadidae) with special reference to the origin of the Kermadec and Norfolk Islands’ species Peter Arensburger1*, Chris Simon2 and Kent Holsinger2 1Department of Entomology, University of ABSTRACT California, Riverside, CA and 2Department of Aim Determine the phylogeny and dispersal patterns of the cicada genus Kikihia Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA in New Zealand and the origin of the Norfolk, Kermadec, and Chatham Island cicadas. Location New Zealand, Norfolk Island, Kermadec Islands and Chatham Island. Methods DNA sequences from 16 species and four soon to be described species of cicadas from New Zealand and Norfolk Island (Australia) were examined. A total of 1401 base pairs were analysed from whole genome extraction of three mitochondrial genes (cytochrome oxidase subunit II, ATPase6 and ATPase8). These DNA sequences were aligned and analysed using standard likelihood approaches to phylogenetic analysis. Dates of divergences between clades were determined using a molecular clock based on Bayesian statistics. Results Most species in the genus Kikihia diverged between 3 and 5 million years ago (Ma) coincident with a period of rapid mountain building in New Zealand. Cicada species on the Kermadec and Norfolk Islands invaded recently from New Zealand and are closely related to the New Zealand North Island species Kikihia cutora. Main conclusions Speciation in the genus Kikihia was likely due in large part to the appearance of new habitats associated with the rise of the Southern Alps, starting c.

  • The Cicada Genus Muda Distant (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) from Sundaland: Species and Relationships J.P
    Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 161 (2018) 131–154 The cicada genus Muda Distant (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) from Sundaland: species and relationships J.P. Duffels A diagnosis is provided of the cicada genus Muda Distant, 1897, with descriptions, illustrations and distribution maps for the five species found in Sundaland. Three of these, Muda obtusa (Walker, 1858), M. virguncula (Walker, 1856) and M. tua Duffels, 2004, are redescribed. Muda beccarii (Distant, 1888) and M. concolor Distant, 1897 are junior synonyms of M. virguncula. Abroma tahanensis (Moulton, 1923) is transferred to Muda and redescribed. Muda kinabaluana is described as new to science, and is very peculiar, missing the timbals. An identification key is provided. Characters and taxonomic position of Muda kuroiwae (Matsumura, 1913) from the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan are discussed. Muda is characterized by two supposed synapomorphies, viz., the mediodorsal carina of the male pygofer and the movable upper pygofer lobes; these characters are also found in species of Katoa. Further comparative study of Muda and Katoa is needed to reveal their relationships. J.P. Duffels, Naturalis Biodiversity Center, PO Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands.
