Übersicht der "bisher veröffentlichten Heteropteren-Systeme. Keinem der bisher veröffentlichten Heteropteren-Systeme scheint es mir gelungen zu sein, die wahren Verwandtschaftbeziehungen der Miriden und verwandter Familien vollständig zu ergründen. Überhaupt ist das System der Hemipteren und besonders die Auffassung der Phylo- genie der einzelnen^ Familien derselben noch sehr schwankend. Das Studium der inneren Ana- tomie und der postembryonalen Entwickelung ist noch gar zu sehr vernachlässigt worden. Die wenigen Dokumente, die hierüber veröffentlicht worden, sind noch so lückenhaft, unvoll- ständig und wenig umfassend, dass es meistens unmöglich ist, sie für die Zwecke der Syste- matik zu verwerten und zu verwenden. Wir sind darum im allgemeinen fortwährend dazu ge- nötigt, unsere Systematik auf die verhältnismässig genauere Kenntnis des Hautskelettes zu stützen. Doch muss zugestanden werden, dass auch dieses in manchen Fällen nur ungenügend und gar nicht so eingehend und metodisch, wie es nötig gewesen wäre, studiert worden ist. Ich bedaure sehr, dass ich stets solche Untersuchungen aufgeschoben habe, bis sie nun- mehr, meiner Blindheit wegen, mir unmöglich geworden sind. Wenn ich trotzdem "die Frage von der Phylogenie der Miriden und verwandter Fa- milien hier nicht stillschweigend übergehe, geschieht es darum, weil ich einige Umstände beob- achtet habe, die vielleicht zu einer richtigeren Auffassung derselben beitragen können. Ich be- nutze gleichzeitig die Gelegenheit, um einige Bemerkungen über die bisherigen Ansichten hin- sichtlich der Phylogenie auch der übrigen Heteropteren-Familien und meine von diesen ab- weichende Auffassung zu veröffentlichen. Um die Frage näher diskutieren zu können, wäre es indessen vielleicht nicht unnütz erst die bisher veröffentlichten Systeme kurz zu rekapitulieren. Indem ich in chronologischer Ordnung einen Überblick derselben gebe, erlaube ich mir 'dabei schon hie und da im Vorüber- gehen einige Bemerkungen, besonders über den Platz, den die resp. Verfasser solchen Fami- lien im Systeme gegeben haben, die dem Verwandtschaftskreise der Miriden anzugehören schei- nen, wie auch solchen die meiner Meinung nach unrichtig mit jenen als verwandt betrachtet worden sind. Die eigentliche Diskussion über die Phylogenie der Familien wird im zweiten Kapitel folgen. • Was die Benennung der gegenwärtig angenommenen, unten erörterten Familien be- trifft, mag hier erwähnt werden, dass ich nunmehr mich den Ansichten anschliesse, die von zahlreichen Verfassern auf verschiedenen Gebieten der Entomologie vertreten werden, dass der Name einer grösseren systematischen Gruppe (Familie, Unterfamilie, Division) vom Namen 2 0. M. Reuter. der Gattung zu derivieren ist, die zuerst von sämtlichen dem Komplexe angehörigen Gattungen beschrieben worden ist, und brauche darum nachher meistens die von Kirkaldy festgestell- l ten Namen . Übersicht der bisherigen Systeme. Latreille führt in „Histoire naturelle, generale et particuliere des Crustaces et des Insectes" (1802) p. 240 ff. von seiner ersten Section der Hemipteren, welche den Heteropteren entspricht, zwei Familien an: Cimicides und Punaise d'eau (Hydrocorisae), die er durch den Bau der Fühler unterscheidet. Die erste zerfällt ferner auf Grund der Struktur der Schna- belscheide (vier- oder dreigliedrig) in zwei Divisionen, denen er keinen Namen giebt, von wel- chen aber die erste die gegenwärtigen Familien Pentatomidae sensu latissimo, Pyrrhocoridae, Myodochidae, Coreidae, Aradidae, Tingididae, Neididae und Miridae, die zweite: die Macro- cephalidae, Acanthiadae, Cimicidae, Nabidae, Reduviidae, Gerridae und Hydrometridae umfasst. Der Verf. hat, scheint es mir, mit sicherem Blicke die Verwandtschaft der in der zweiten Di- vision untergebrachten Hemipteren entdeckt. Zu bemerken ist z. B., dass er zu dieser Divi- sion die Macrocephaliden und Cimiciden (Phymata und Cimex) rechnet, die von mehreren spä- teren Autoren als mit den Aradiden verwandt betrachtet werden. Dem von de^m Verfasser gewählten Einteilungsgrunde zufolge werden die Miriden noch aus der Reihe dieser ihrer Verwandten entfeint. Die Hydrocorisae werden auf Grunde des Baues der Fühler, des Ro- strums und der Beine in zwei Divisionen eingeteilt: Nepariae (= Nepidae) und Notonectariae ( = Nerthidae, Naucoridae, Notonectidae und Corixidae). Dumeril teilt in „Zoologie Analytique" (1806) die gesammten Hemipteren (Rhynchoten) in sechs Familien ein, von denen die drei ersten den Heteropteren entsprechen. Diese, die durch den verschiedenen Bau der Fühler 2 charakterisiert werden, nennt er Bhinostomcs (Pentatome, Scutellaire, Coree, Acanthie, Lygee. Gerre, Podicere), Zoadelyes (Miride, Punaise, Reduve, Ploiere, Hydrometre), Hydrocorees (Ranatre, Nepe, Naucore, Notonecte, Sigare). Diese alte Gruppierung stimmt im allgemeinen besser als mehrere neue mit den Ansichten über die Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen der Hemipteren-Familien überein, hier von Gattungen representiert, die nunmehr von Handlirsch und dem Verfasser vertreten synd. — Zu bemerken ist, dass hier schon die Neididen (= Podicere) von den Coreiden (= Coree) getrennt sind. Latreille führt in „Genera Insectorum et Crustaceorum" III (1807), p. 108— 152, 1 Das Prinzip auch die Priorität der Familien-Namen ausnahmslos zu verfechten, könnte zu solchen Absurditeten führen, dass man z. ß. die Familie Myodochidae mit den Namen Lygaeidae. bezeichnen müsste, während jedoch die Gattung Lygaeus Fabr. eine Coreiden-Gattung ist. In einem Falle kann ich jedoch nicht den Ansichten Kirkaldy's beistimmen, in der Auffassung von der Type der LiNNE'ischen Gattung Ci- mex, sondern bin ganz der Ansicht, die von Freund Bergroth in einem Briefe vom 10 August 1909 ver- treten ist, aus welchem ich mir erlaube folgendes in Übersetzung zu citieren : „Ich kann mich nicht der Auffassung Kirkaldy's anschliessend dass die Bettwanze Clinocoris Fall, und nicht Cimex benannt werden sollte. Für die Nomenclatur der Pflanzen hat Linne folgendes Gesetz aufgestellt: „Si genus receptum, se- cundum jus naturae et artis, in plura dirimi debet, tunc nomen antea commune manebit vulgatissimae et officinali plantae". Es ist unzweifelhaft, dass er dasselbe Gesetz als geltend für die Nomenclatur des Tier- reiches angesehen hat. Wenn Linne selbst seine Gattung Cimex in mehrere geteilt hätte, hätte er ganz sicher den Namen lectularius für Cimex behalten". Ich nenne darum die Farn. Cimicidae Kirk. fortwährend Pentatomidae und die Farn. Clinocoridae Kirk. Cimieidae. - „Autennes larges, longues, en fil ou en masse" (Rhinostomes); „larges, longues, en soie" (Zoadel- ges), „larges, tres-courtes, en soie" (Hydrocore'es). Tom. XXXVII. Neue Beiträge zur Phylogenie und Systematik der Miriden. 3 von seiner ersten Hemipteren-Section, die mit den Heteropteren identisch ist, folgende drei Familien an: Corisiae (= Pentatomidae sensu latissimo, Coreidae, Neididae, Myodochidae und Miridae), Cimicides und Hydrocorisiae. Die Cimicides zerfallen ferner in drei Gruppen: Reduvini (= Nabidae und Eeduviidae), Ploteres (= Hydroinetridae, Veliadae und Gerridae), Achantiliae (= Cimicidae, Macrocephalidae, Tingididae und Aradidae). Die Hydrocorisae ent- sprechen den gegenwärtigen Ochteridae, Nerthridae, Belostornatidae, Naucoridae, Nepidae, Notonectidae und Corixidae. Die zu den Corisiae gebrachten Miriden werden nach dieser Einteilung von ihren wahren Verwandten, welche sich in der Familie Cimicides befinden, ge- trennt. Dagegen stehen die Tingididen und Aradiden in der Tat in keiner näheren Verwandt- schaft zu den übrigen Mitgliedern der zuletzt genannten Familie. Fallen veröffentlichte (1814) „Specimen novum Hemiptera disponendi methodum ex- hibens", welche Classification er in „Hemiptera Sveciae" (1829) beibehält. Die Frontirostres (= Heteroptera) werden in drei Familien eingeteilt: Cimicides, welche die gegenwärtigen Gym- noceraten (Geocorisen) umfassen, Hydrocorides (= Nepidae) und Naucorides (= Naucoridae, Notonectidae und Corixidae). Die Cimiciden zerfallen

Yoshifumi Touyama1, Fuminori Ito2 1Niho, Minami-ku, Hiroshima City, Japan 2Laboratory of Entomology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kagawa University, Ikenobe, Japan Email: [email protected] Received 23 April 2014; revised 3 June 2014; accepted 22 June 2014 Copyright © 2014 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Argentine ant invasion changed colour-polymorphic composition of ant-mimetic jumping spider Myrmarachne in southwestern Japan. In Argentine ant-free sites, most of Myrmarachne exhibited all-blackish colouration. In Argentine ant-infested sites, on the other hand, blackish morph de- creased, and bicoloured (i.e. partly bright-coloured) morphs increased in dominance. Invasive Argentine ant drives away native blackish ants. Disappearance of blackish model ants supposedly led to malfunction of Batesian mimicry of Myrmarachne. Keywords Batesian Mimicry, Biological Invasion, Linepithema humile, Myrmecomorphy, Myrmarachne, Polymorphism 1. Introduction It has attracted attention of biologists that many arthropods morphologically and/or behaviorally resemble ants [1]-[4]. Resemblance of non-ant arthropods to aggressive and/or unpalatable ants is called myrmecomorphy (ant-mimicry). Especially, spider myrmecomorphy has been described through many literatures [5]-[9]. Myr- mecomorphy is considered to be an example of Batesian mimicry gaining protection from predators.

  • The Mirid Eccritotarsus Catarinensis Is an Effective Agent Against Water Hyacinth in Some Areas of South Africa
    The mirid Eccritotarsus catarinensis is an effective agent against water hyacinth in some areas of South Africa M.P. Hill1 and I.G. Oberholzer2 Summary The sap-sucking mirid Eccritotarsus catarinensis (Carvalho) (Heteroptera: Miridae) was released against water hyacinth in South Africa in late 1996. This insect has a short generation time and popu- lations can rapidly increase. Adults and nymphs feed gregariously on the leaves of water hyacinth, causing severe chlorosis and stunting of the plants. This agent has been released at 22 sites throughout South Africa. The mirid has established at seven of these sites, failed to establish at eight sites, and the remaining seven sites have not been evaluated. Furthermore it has independently dispersed to at least two additional sites. Although the mirid has established at three high-elevation sites (above 1000 m), which are characterized by cold winters with frost, it is most effective against water hyacinth in more subtropical conditions. At a site in a subtropical region of South Africa, near Durban, KwaZulu-Natal Province, the mirid reduced the infestation of water hyacinth on a 10 ha dam from 100% to less than 10% within 18 months. Although populations of the mirid are negatively affected by wind and rain, it is still an effective agent in tropical and subtropical areas, especially when used in conjunction with the other five natural enemy species released on water hyacinth in South Africa. Keywords: biological control, Miridae, water hyacinth. Introduction agents that might be more effective under temperate conditions. The success of biological control initiatives undertaken The most recent agent released against water against water hyacinth in South Africa has been vari- hyacinth in South Africa was the sap-sucking mirid able, despite the establishment of six natural enemy Eccritotarsus catarinensis (Carvalho) (Hill et al.

A new genus and species, Yuripopovina magnifica, belonging to a new coreoid family, Yuripopovinidae (Hemiptera: Pentatomomorpha), is described and illustrated from the Lower Cretaceous amber of Lebanon. The species represents the first definitive Mesozoic record for the Coreoidea. A cladistic analysis of Coreoidea, including the new family, is undertaken. KEY WORDS: Pentatomomorpha, Coreoidea, Yuripopovinidae, fam. n., gen. n., sp. n., Lebanon, phylogeny. INTRODUCTION The Pentatomomorpha with its 14 000 known living species (WEIRAUCH & SCHUH 2011) is the second largest of the seven heteropteran infraorders (SCHAEFER 1993, ŠTYS & KERZHNER 1975) (Enicocephalomorpha, Dipsocoromorpha, Gerromorpha, Nepomorpha, Leptodomorpha, Cimicomorpha, and Pentatomorpha). Most authors recognize five superfamilies within Pentatomomorpha, but there remains controversy regarding the 628 Polish Journal of Entomology 80 (4) composition of these superfamilies (SCHAEFER 1993, ŠTYS 1961).

  • News on True Bugs of Serra De Collserola Natural Park (Ne Iberian Peninsula) and Their Potential Use in Environmental Education (Insecta, Heteroptera)
    Boletín de la Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa (S.E.A.), nº 52 (30/6/2013): 244–248. NEWS ON TRUE BUGS OF SERRA DE COLLSEROLA NATURAL PARK (NE IBERIAN PENINSULA) AND THEIR POTENTIAL USE IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION (INSECTA, HETEROPTERA) Víctor Osorio1, Marcos Roca-Cusachs2 & Marta Goula3 1 Mestre Lluís Millet, 92, Bxos., 3a; 08830 Sant Boi de Llobregat; Barcelona, Spain – [email protected] 2 Plaça Emili Mira i López, 3, Bxos.; 08022 Barcelona, Spain – [email protected] 3 Departament de Biologia Animal and Institut de Recerca de la Biodiversitat (IRBio), Facultat de Biologia, Universitat de Barcelona (UB), Avda. Diagonal 645, 08028 Barcelona, Spain – [email protected] Abstract: A checklist of 43 Heteropteran species collected in the area of influence of Can Coll School of Nature is given. By its rarity in the Catalan fauna, the mirid Deraeocoris (D.) schach (Fabricius, 1781) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (N.) maculatus Fieber, 1851 are interesting species. Plus being rare species, the mirid Macrotylus (A.) solitarius (Meyer-Dür, 1843) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (S.) umbrinus (Wolff, 1804) are new records for the Natural Park. The mirids Alloetomus germanicus Wagner, 1939 and Amblytylus brevicollis Fieber, 1858, and the pentatomid Eysarcoris aeneus (Scopoli, 1763) are new contributions for the Park checklist. The Heteropteran richness of Can Coll suggests them as study group for the environmental education goals of this School of Nature. Key words: Heteroptera, faunistics, new records, environmental education, Serra de Collserola, Catalonia, Iberian Peninsula. Nuevos datos sobre chinches del Parque Natural de la Serra de Collserola (noreste de la península Ibérica) y su uso potencial en educación ambiental (Insecta, Heteroptera) Resumen: Se presenta un listado de 43 especies de heterópteros recolectados dentro del área de influencia de la Escuela de Naturaleza de Can Coll.
