Систематика, реконструкция филогенетических отношений и представления об эволюции настоящих саранчовых долгое время складывались преимущественно на основе сравнительного анализа ключевых морфологических структур рецентных и ископаемых видов. В результате были разработаны многие эволюционно- филогенетические модели развития этих насекомых на уровне таксонов высокого ранга. Однако на уровне семейств, подсемейств или триб у данных насекомых появляются проблемы, связанные с явлениями конвергенции и параллелизма. Acrididae включает в себя по 26 подсемейств (Cigliano et al., 2019), а также несколько родов, которые не были отнесены ни к одному из подсемейств, и филогенетические взаимоотношения между этими таксонами до сих пор вызывают споры. Несмотря на наличие общепризнанной классификации (Cigliano et al., 2019),

L. Lindon, and J. A. Brazille Texas AgriLife Research 2301 Experiment Station Road Bushland, TX 79012 2008 Report Introductory Notes The invertebrate survey in 2008 presented an interesting challenge. Extremely dry conditions prevailed throughout most of the adult activity period for the invertebrates and grass fires occurred several times throughout the summer. By visual assessment, plant resources were scarce compared to last year, with few green plants and almost no flowering plants. Eight habitats and nine sites continued to be sampled in 2008. The Ponderosa pine/ yellow indiangrass site was removed from the study after the low numbers of species and individuals collected there in 2007. All other sites from the 2007 survey were included in the 2008 survey. We also discontinued the collection of Coccinellidae in the 2008 survey, as only 98 individuals from four species were collected in 2007. Pitfall and malaise trapping were continued in the same way as the 2007 survey. Sweep net sampling was discontinued to allow time for Asilidae and Orthoptera timed surveys consisting of direct collection of individuals with a net. These surveys were conducted in the same way as the time constrained butterfly (Papilionidea and Hesperoidea) surveys, with 15-minute intervals for each taxanomic group. This was sucessful when individuals were present, but the dry summer made it difficult to assess the utility of these techniques because of overall low abundance of insects.

DANLEY &AXEL HOCHKIRCH Submitted: 17 September 2011 Husemann, M., Namkung, S., Habel, J.C., Danley, P.D. & Hochkirch, A. (2012). Accepted: 10 April 2012 Phylogenetic analyses of band-winged grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Oedipodinae) doi:10.1111/j.1463-6409.2012.00548.x reveal convergence of wing morphology. —Zoologica Scripta, 41, 515–526. Historically, morphological traits have been used to examine the relationships of distantly related taxa with global distributions. The use of such traits, however, may be misleading and may not provide the resolution needed to distinguish various hypotheses that may explain the distribution patterns of widely distributed taxa. One such taxon, the Oedipo- dine grasshoppers, contains two tribes principally defined by wing morphologies: the Bry- odemini have broad wings whereas Sphingonotini are narrow-winged. Through the use of morphological features alone, hypotheses concerning the evolution of these tribes cannot be distinguished. To differentiate hypotheses that may explain the distribution of Oedipo- dines, such as vicariance, natural dispersal and anthropogenic translocation, we used two mitochondrial and three nuclear gene fragments to reconstruct the phylogenetic relation- ships within and between the two tribes, and employed a molecular clock to evaluate the hypotheses of vicariance and dispersal. Our results clearly reject monophyly of the tribes and revealed monophyletic Old and New World clades, which is in agreement with previ- ous molecular studies. The split between both clades was dated at 35 Ma (±12 Ma). This clearly rejects the vicariance hypothesis and supports a single invasion via the Beringian land bridge.

Campus, Kumaun University, Nainital - 263 001, India. e-mail : [email protected] (Accepted 31 December 2014) ABSTRACT : Investigations were undertaken to know trophic level composition of different groups of insect population in a Protected Area in the Western Himalayas, India. Observations revealed that herbivorous species showed rich population i.e. 67.26% and 65.76% of the total collection of species of insect for first year and second year of study, respectively followed by predators (23.89% and 26.13%), saprophagous (2.65% and 6.31%) and omnivores (2.65% and 1.80%), respectively. Similarly, on the basis of total number of individuals of insect population recorded, herbivores constituted the maximum of all the insects i.e. 68.94% and 64.71% for first year and second year of study, respectively, followed by predators 23.74% and 26.38%, saprophagous 5.94% and 7.22%) and, omnivores 1.40% and 1.69% during the first year and second year of study, respectively. Across the study period, maximum numbers of herbivorous insects (50.12% individuals) were recorded during the rainy season followed by summer season (34.25% individuals) and winter season (15.63% individuals), respectively. During the entire study period, a total of 57 species of insects were found to facilitate the pollination processes.
