  • The Introduction of Toxorhynchites Brevipalpis Theobald Into the Purpose of This Brief Paper Is to Place on Record an Account Of
    Vol. XIV, No. 2, March, 1951 237 The Introduction of Toxorhynchites brevipalpis Theobald into the Territory of Hawaii By DAVID D. BONNET MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGIST, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, HONOLULU and STEPHEN M. K. HU CHIEF, BUREAU OF MOSQUITO CONTROL, HONOLULU The purpose of this brief paper is to place on record an account of the introduction of the South African mosquito Toxorhynchites (= Megarhinus) * brevipalpis Theobald into the Territory of Hawaii. The importation of this insect and its establishment would, it is believed, aid in the control of the forest day mosquito, Aedes albopictus Skuse. Any type of container, whether it be a natural container such as a tree hole, bamboo stump, pineapple lily (Bilbergia sp.) or rock hole; or an artificial container such as a vine bowl, tin can, tub, auto tire or bottle, when filled with water, can serve as a breeding location for Aedes albopictus. This varied breeding habit complicates control as it neces sitates the treatment or elimination of a multitude of large and small water-holding containers. Adequate control has been obtained in the urban areas of Hawaii by premises-to-premises inspection, and house holder cooperation, following usual Aedes aegypti (L.) control pro cedures. There are, however, large areas outside the cities where such control measures are not feasible. These areas are principally mountain forest regions which contain a sufficient number of natural breeding situations to maintain a large mosquito population. This population of Aedes albopictus serves not only as a health menace and as a reservoir for reinvasion, but also discourages extensive use of many fine recreation areas.

  • A Review of the Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae) of Bangladesh Seth R
    Irish et al. Parasites & Vectors (2016) 9:559 DOI 10.1186/s13071-016-1848-z RESEARCH Open Access A review of the mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) of Bangladesh Seth R. Irish1*, Hasan Mohammad Al-Amin2, Mohammad Shafiul Alam2 and Ralph E. Harbach3 Abstract Background: Diseases caused by mosquito-borne pathogens remain an important source of morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh. To better control the vectors that transmit the agents of disease, and hence the diseases they cause, and to appreciate the diversity of the family Culicidae, it is important to have an up-to-date list of the species present in the country. Original records were collected from a literature review to compile a list of the species recorded in Bangladesh. Results: Records for 123 species were collected, although some species had only a single record. This is an increase of ten species over the most recent complete list, compiled nearly 30 years ago. Collection records of three additional species are included here: Anopheles pseudowillmori, Armigeres malayi and Mimomyia luzonensis. Conclusions: While this work constitutes the most complete list of mosquito species collected in Bangladesh, further work is needed to refine this list and understand the distributions of those species within the country. Improved morphological and molecular methods of identification will allow the refinement of this list in years to come. Keywords: Species list, Mosquitoes, Bangladesh, Culicidae Background separation of Pakistan and India in 1947, Aslamkhan [11] Several diseases in Bangladesh are caused by mosquito- published checklists for mosquito species, indicating which borne pathogens.

  • A Genus-Level Supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 7 (2008) 255–269 www.elsevier.de/ode A genus-level supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G. Beutela,Ã, Ignacio Riberab, Olaf R.P. Bininda-Emondsa aInstitut fu¨r Spezielle Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie, FSU Jena, Germany bMuseo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain Received 14 October 2005; accepted 17 May 2006 Abstract A supertree for Adephaga was reconstructed based on 43 independent source trees – including cladograms based on Hennigian and numerical cladistic analyses of morphological and molecular data – and on a backbone taxonomy. To overcome problems associated with both the size of the group and the comparative paucity of available information, our analysis was made at the genus level (requiring synonymizing taxa at different levels across the trees) and used Safe Taxonomic Reduction to remove especially poorly known species. The final supertree contained 401 genera, making it the most comprehensive phylogenetic estimate yet published for the group. Interrelationships among the families are well resolved. Gyrinidae constitute the basal sister group, Haliplidae appear as the sister taxon of Geadephaga+ Dytiscoidea, Noteridae are the sister group of the remaining Dytiscoidea, Amphizoidae and Aspidytidae are sister groups, and Hygrobiidae forms a clade with Dytiscidae. Resolution within the species-rich Dytiscidae is generally high, but some relations remain unclear. Trachypachidae are the sister group of Carabidae (including Rhysodidae), in contrast to a proposed sister-group relationship between Trachypachidae and Dytiscoidea. Carabidae are only monophyletic with the inclusion of a non-monophyletic Rhysodidae, but resolution within this megadiverse group is generally low. Non-monophyly of Rhysodidae is extremely unlikely from a morphological point of view, and this group remains the greatest enigma in adephagan systematics.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The larvae of four species of Platambus Thomson, 1859 from Japan, P. pictipennis (Sharp, 1873), P. convexus Okada, 2011, P. fimbriatus (Sharp, 1884) and P. sawadai (Kamiya, 1932) are described for the first time including a detailed chaetotaxy analysis of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment and urogomphi. A provisional parsimony analysis based on 39 informative larval characteristics of 15 species in seven genera of the subfamily Agabinae was conducted using the program TNT. Larvae of the Platambus species studied stand out from those of other genera of Agabinae by the unique presence of a subquadrate last abdominal segment not protruding posteriorly into siphon and the much shorter length of the primary urogomphal seta UR5 compared to seta UR7 in first instar larva. Key words: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, Agabinae, Platambus, chaetotaxy, larvae, Palearctic Introduction The dytiscid genus Platambus Thomson, 1859 contains 67 species distributed in the Nearctic, Neotropical, Orien- tal and Palearctic regions (Bian & Ji 2008; Hendrich & Przewoźny 2015; Hájek & Zhang 2019; Nilsson & Hájek 2019).

During the survey, total 18073 larvae were collected randomly from different habitats of four Thanas of RCC. During this experimental procedure 3485 larvae were died, and 14588 larvae survive, pupated and emerged into adult mosquitoes. The highest number of larvae collected in Shah Makhdum (4821) followed by Boalia (4471), Rajpara (4396), Motihar (4385) respectively to assay the adult emergence. The average number of adult emergence was found in Rajpara thana (79.41±8.05) followed by Shah Makhdum (76.70±10.26), Boalia (76.69±11.92) and Motihar thana (74.69±14.15) in all seasons. There were very few amount of Aedes (2.07%) mosquito mainly found in the rainy season. Interestingly, the highest prevalence of Aedes larvae was in the month of July 2013(8.00%) followed by September 2013(6.4%) and 0.5% in March (2014). On the other hand, in an average, Anopheles (46.30%) and Culex (51.00%) were found all over the survey period. The highest prevalence of Anopheles was found in the month of January 2014(61.30%), and Culex was 55.10% in October 2013.

Ng’habi (2010) Behavioural, ecological and genetic determinants of mating and gene flow in African malaria mosquitoes PhD thesis, Wageningen University – with references – with summaries in Dutch and English ISBN – 978-90-8585-766-2 > Abstract Malaria is still a leading threat to the survival of young children and pregnant women, especially in the African region. The ongoing battle against malaria has been hampered by the emergence of drug and insecticide resistance amongst parasites and vectors, re- spectively. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and genetically modified mosquitoes (GM) are new proposed vector control approaches. Successful implementation of these ap- proaches requires a better understanding of male mating biology of target mosquito species.

  • World Catalogue of Dytiscidae – Corrections and Additions, 3 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
    ©Wiener Coleopterologenverein (WCV), download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Koleopterologische Rundschau 76 55–74 Wien, Juli 2006 World Catalogue of Dytiscidae – corrections and additions, 3 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) A.N. NILSSON &H.FERY Abstract A third set of corrections and additions is given to the World Catalogue of Dytiscidae (NILSSON 2001) including the first and second sets of corrections and additions (NILSSON 2003 & 2004). Megadytes lherminieri (GUÉRIN-MÉNEVILLE, 1829) has priority over M. giganteus (LAPORTE, 1835). The species name Dytiscus silphoides PONZA, 1805 is declared as a nomen oblitum, in order to ensure the continuous usage of its junior synonym Deronectes opatrinus (GERMAR, 1824) as a valid name (nomen protectum). The preoccupied name Hydroporus ruficeps AUBÉ, 1838 is replaced with Hydroporus pseudoniger nom.n. New taxa published before January 1, 2006 are added. The number of recent species of the family Dytiscidae is now 3959. Key words: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, world, replacement name, catalogue, corrections, additions. Introduction The World catalogue of Dytiscidae (NILSSON 2001) was recently updated in two sets of corrections and additions (NILSSON 2003, 2004, here referred to as CA1 and CA2), covering works published up to January 1, 2004. This third update includes new taxa and other taxonomic acts published before January 1, 2006. The age of some fossil species have been reconsidered according to EVENHUIS (1994). The transfer of species from Copelatus to genus Papuadytes suggested by BALKE et al. (2004a) follows instructions given by BALKE (in litt.). The number of recent species of Dytiscidae is now 3959.

    ILLUSTRATED KEYS TO THE GENERA OF MOSQUITOES1 BY Peter F. Mattingly 2 INTRODUCTION The suprageneric and generic classification adopted here follow closely the Synoptic Catalog of the Mosquitoes of the World (Stone et al. , 1959) and the various supplements (Stone, 1961, 1963, 1967,’ 1970). Changes in generic no- menclature arising from the publication of the Catalog include the substitution of Mansonia for Taeniorhynchus and Culiseta for Theobaldiu, bringing New and Old World practice into line, the substitution of Toxorhynchites for Megarhinus and MaZaya for Harpagomyia, the suppression of the diaeresis in Aties, A&deomyia (formerly Atiomyia) and Paraties (Christophers, 1960b) and the inclusion of the last named as a subgenus of Aedes (Mattingly, 1958). The only new generic name to appear since the publication of the Catalog is Galindomyiu (Stone & Barreto, 1969). Mimomyia, previously treated as a subgenus of Ficalbia, is here treated, in combination with subgenera Etorleptiomyia and Rauenulites, as a separate genus. Ronderos & Bachmann (1963a) proposed to treat Mansonia and Coquillettidia as separate genera and they have been fol- lowed by Stone (1967, 1970) and others. I cannot accept this and they are here retained in the single genus Mansonia. It will be seen that the treatment adopted here, as always with mosquitoes since the early days, is conservative. Inevitably, therefore, dif- fictiIties arise in connection with occasional aberrant species. In order to avoid split, or unduly prolix, couplets I have preferred, in nearly every case, to deal with these in the Notes to the Keys. The latter are consequently to be regarded as very much a part of the keys themselves and should be constantly borne in mind.
