  • THE SNAKES of SURINAM, PART XVI: SUBFAMILY XENO- By: A
    -THE SNAKES -OF SURINAM, ---PART XVI: SUBFAMILY --XENO- DONTINAE ( GENERA WAGLEROPHIS., XENODON AND XENO­ PHOLIS). By: A. Abuys, Jukwerderweg 31, 9901 GL Appinge­ dam, The Netherlands. Contents: The genus WagZerophis - The genus Xeno­ don - The genus XenophoZis - References. THE GENUS wAGLEROPHIS ROMANO & HOGE, 1972 This genus contains only one species. Prior to 1972 this species was known as Xenodon merremii (Wagler, 1824). This species is found in Surinam. General data for the genus: Head: The head is short and slightly flattened. The strong neck is only marginally narrower than the head. The relatively large eyes have round pupils. Body: Short and stout with smooth scales. The scales have one apical groove. The formation of the dorsal scales is characteristic for this genus. These are arranged so that the upper rows are at an angle to the lower ones (see figure 1) . Tail: Short. Behaviour: Terrestrial and both nocturnal and di­ urnal. Food: Frogs, toads, lizards and sometimes snakes, insects or small mammals. Habitat: Damp forest floors near swamps or water. Reproduction: Oviparous. Remarks: When threatened or disturbed, the fore part of the body is inflated and the neck is spread in a cobra-like fashion. The head is al· so raised slightly, but not as high and as 181 Fig. 1. Dorsal scale pattern of Waglerophis. From: Peters & Orejas-Miranda, 1970. vertically as a cobra. This is an aggressive snake which will invariably resort to biting if the warning behaviour described above is not heeded. This genus (in common with the genera Xenodon, Heterodon and Lystrophis) has two enlarged teeth attached to the back of the upper jaw.

Schmitz1 and Vera L. S. Valente2 1 Universidade Federal da Integração-Latino-Americana, Foz do Iguaçu, PR, Brazil; [email protected] 2 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Genética e Biologia Molecular, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil; [email protected] Abstract Diptera is a megadiverse order, reaching its peak of diversity in Neotropics, although our knowledge of dipteran fauna of this region is grossly deficient. This applies even for the most studied families, as Drosophilidae. Despite its position of evidence, most aspects of the biology of these insects are still poorly understood, especially those linked to natural communities. Field studies on drosophilids are highly biased to fruit-breeders species. Flower-breeding drosophilids, however, are worldwide distributed, especially in tropical regions, although being mostly neglected. The present paper shows results of a biodiversity inventory of flower-breeding drosophilids carried out in Brazil, based on samples of 125 plant species, from 47 families. Drosophilids were found in flowers of 56 plant species, of 18 families. The fauna discovered showed to be highly unknown, comprising 28 species, 12 of them (>40%) still undescribed.

E-mail: [email protected] The genus Erythrolamprus Boie (1826) comprises six species of Central and South American false coral snakes (Peters & Orejas-Miranda 1970; Zaher 1999; Curcio et al. 2009). It is traditionally allocated in the tribe Xenodontini (subfamily Xenodontinae), along with the genera Liophis, Lystrophis, Umbrivaga, Waglerophis and Xenodon (sensu Dixon 1980; Cadle 1984; Myers 1986; Ferrarezzi 1994; Zaher 1999). Although Xenodontini is supported by morphological and molecular evidence, phylogenetic relationships and classification within the tribe have been the subject of recent debate. Molecular phylogenetic studies have recovered clades with Erythrolamprus nested within some representatives of the genus Liophis (Vidal et al. 2000; Zaher et al. 2009), partly corroborating previous hypotheses based on morphology (e.g. Dixon 1980). Vidal et al.’s (2000) and Zaher et al.’s (2009) sampling of taxa of Erythrolamprus and Liophis is far from comprehensive, each including five species of traditional Liophis (only one of which is common to the two studies) and one species of Erythrolamprus.

  • Mutualism Exploitation: Predatory Drosophilid Larvae Sugar-­Trap Ants and Jeopardize Facultative Ant-­Plant Mutualism
    Reports Ecology, 97(7), 2016, pp. 1650–1657 © 2016 by the Ecological Society of America Mutualism exploitation: predatory drosophilid larvae sugar- trap ants and jeopardize facultative ant- plant mutualism 1,3 2 2,4 MAYRA C. VIDAL, SEBASTIAN F. SENDOYA, AND PAULO S. OLIVEIRA 1Graduate Program in Ecology, Instituto de Biologia, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, São Paulo 13083-970 Brazil 2Departamento de Biologia Animal, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, São Paulo 13083-970 Brazil Abstract. An open question in the evolutionary ecology of ant- plant facultative mutualism is how other members of the associated community can affect the interaction to a point where reciprocal benefits are disrupted. While visitingQualea grandiflora shrubs to collect sugary rewards at extrafloral nectaries, tropical savanna ants deter herbivores and reduce leaf damage. Here we show that larvae of the flyRhinoleucophenga myrmecophaga, which develop on extra- floral nectaries, lure potentially mutualistic, nectar- feeding ants and prey on them. Foraging ants spend less time on fly- infested foliage. Field experiments showed that predation (or the threat of predation) on ants by fly larvae produces cascading effects through three trophic levels, resulting in fewer protective ants on leaves, increased numbers of chewing herbivores, and greater leaf damage. These results reveal an undocumented mode of mutualism exploita- tion by an opportunistic predator at a plant-provided food source, jeopardizing ant-derived protection services to the plant. Our study documents a rather unusual case of predation of adult ants by a dipteran species and demonstrates a top- down trophic cascade within a gener- alized ant- plant mutualism. Key words: ants; Drosophilidae; extrafloral nectaries; indirect effects; insect herbivory; multitrophic interaction; mutualism disruption; top-down effects; trophic cascade; tropical savanna.

The cranial osteology and myology of the Xenodontine snake genus Heterodon are described and. correlated with certain aspects.of the trunk muscula- ture. Comparisons are made with the genus Xenodon and the viperidae. Heterodon, and to a lesser extent Xenodon, are similar to the Viperidae in many features of their cranial and trunk myology. A Xenod6ntine prot6viper is hypothesized that gave rise to three present- day snake groups: (1) the advanced xenodontine snakes such 'as Xenodon, (2) the more primitive but specialized Heterodon, and (3) the vipers.
