There may be around 37 000 described species worldwide, and possibly another 25 000 species re- maining to be described. The world fauna is divided into roughly 75 families. The number of species of better known conti- nental faunas such as North America, Europe, or Australia, may be around 2 000 or 5 000 species. Compared with these larger regions the New Zealand fauna – currently comprising Illustration / Whakaahua: Nothochromus maoricus 29 families, 136 genera, and 305 species – may appear rela- Slater, Woodward & Sweet, 1962 (Artheneidae) (Illustra- tively small, but what it lacks in size it makes up in unique- tor / Kaiwhakaahua: D.

  • Eco-Climatic Assessment of the Potential Establishment of Exotic Insects in New Zealand
    Eco-climatic assessment of the potential establishment of exotic insects in New Zealand A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Lora Peacock Lincoln University 2005 Contents Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD Eco-climatic assessment of the potential establishment of exotic insects in New Zealand Lora Peacock To refine our knowledge and to adequately test hypotheses concerning theoretical and applied aspects of invasion biology, successful and unsuccessful invaders should be compared. This study investigated insect establishment patterns by comparing the climatic preferences and biological attributes of two groups of polyphagous insect species that are constantly intercepted at New Zealand's border. One group of species is established in New Zealand (n = 15), the other group comprised species that are not established (n = 21). In the present study the two groups were considered to represent successful and unsuccessful invaders. To provide background for interpretation of results of the comparative analysis, global areas that are climatically analogous to sites in New Zealand were identified by an eco­ climatic assessment model, CLIMEX, to determine possible sources of insect pest invasion. It was found that south east Australia is one of the regions that are climatically very similar to New Zealand. Furthermore, New Zealand shares 90% of its insect pest species with that region. South east Australia has close trade and tourism links with New Zealand and because of its proximity a new incursion in that analogous climate should alert biosecurity authorities in New Zealand.

  • A New Record of a Prostemmatine Danrsel Bug Prostemnaa Cardnetis Dohrn (Nabidae: Prostemmatinae from Pakistan and Its Redescri
    INT. J. BIOL. BIOTECH., 3(2): 253-255, 2006. A NEW RECORD OF A PROSTEMMATINE DAMSEL BUG PROSTEMMA CARDUELIS DOHRN (NABIDAE: PROSTEMMATINAE) FROM PAKISTAN AND ITS REDESCRIPTION WITH REFERENCE TO ITS UNKNOWN MALE GENITALIA Imtiaz Ahmad and Hina Afzal Department of Zoology, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan ABSTRACT A prostemmatine damsel bug Prostemma carduelis Dohrn of the family Nabidae is recorded for the first time from Pakistan and is redescribed with reference to its unknown male genitalia. Key Words: Prostemma carduelis, Nabidae, Redescription, Male genitalia. INTRODUCTION Distant (1904 and 1910) treated the damsel bug’s family Nabidae Costa as a subfamily Nabinae Reuter under Reduviidae Latreille including three divisions (tribes) i.e., Pachynomaria Stål (presently treated as an independent family Pachynomidae Stål) and Prostemmaria Reuter (Prostemmatinae Reuter) and Nabidinaria Stål (presently treated as two independent subfamilies Prostemmatinae Reuter and Nabinae Reuter) within the family Nabidae Stål). Stål (1872) and later Reuter and Poppius (1910) although raised damsel bugs to family status but continued to include Pachynomidae Stål under it. Some of the recent authors such as Carayon (1970) and Kerzhner (1981) excluded the Pachynomidae but included the Medocostidae Stys and Velocipedidae Bergroth under Nabidae. Schuh and Stys (1991) and Schuh and Stater (1995) have used the family name Nabidae in the present concept and Kerzhner (1981) classified the subfamily Prostemmatinae into tribes Prostemmatini including the present old-world genus Prostemma Laporte and Phoriticini Stål including Pantropical Phoriticus Stål and Oriental Rhamphocoris Kirkaldy. The present species was earlier known from Sri Lanka and Myanmar and the record from Sialkot in Punjab, Pakistan is certainly a new one.

Three of these species are new for the Iranian fauna: Nabis (Nabicula) fl avomarginatus Scholtz, 1847, Nabis (Nabis) rugosus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Prostemma carduelis Dohrn, 1858. Key words. Heteroptera, Nabidae, catalogue, Iran, Palaearctic Region Introduction Damsel bugs (Heteroptera: Nabidae) have a worldwide distribution and include approxi- mately 400 species in about 20 genera (KERZHNER 1981, 1996; KERZHNER & HENRY 2008). All known species are predators of adults and larvae of various stages and groups of insects, e.g., aphids, leafhoppers and lepidopteran eggs and young caterpillars. They may be commonly found on low herbaceous vegetation, shrubs and grasses (LATTIN 1989). They have not been used as biological control agents but are considered benefi cial in natural biological control. The classifi cation of the Nabidae is conjectural.

  • Introduction to True Bugs (Heteroptera) of the Neotropics
    Chapter 1 Introduction to True Bugs (Heteroptera) of the Neotropics Antônio R. Panizzi and Jocêlia Grazia Abstract True bugs (Heteroptera) are a diverse and complex group of insects, particularly in the neotropics. The fauna ofthese bugs has been investigated through time, but our knowledge of the species living in the Neotropical Region is lirnited. ln this introductory chapter, we give a general view on true bugs c1assification and biogeography, with concise comments on their general characteristics and bioecology of each major taxon that comprise each of the seven infraorders of Heteroptera. 1.1 Introduction The true bugs (Heteroptera) constitute a very interesting widely distributed group of insects, which is greatly diversified in tropical zones. Considered the largest group of insects with incomplete metamorphosis, heteropterans have been studied on both basic and applied aspects worldwide. Along the years, several books have been published on Heteroptera, the majority on specific aspects, such as certain groups (taxa) of particular areas, and others on more general comprehensive issues. Of more broad interest, two books about the latter were published relatively recently. The first was dedicated to the c1assification and natural history of true bugs in particular, with insights on the history of the study of Heteroptera, how to collect and preserve true bugs, historical biogeogra- A.R.

  • Predation on Onthophagus Rutilans Sharp (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) by Dindymus Albicornis (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae)
    Boletín de la Sociedad Entomológica Aragonesa, nº 46 (2010) : 609−610. NOTAS BREVES Predation on Onthophagus rutilans Sharp (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) by Dindymus albicornis (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) Jorge Ari Noriega1,2 & Janice Ser Huay Lee2,3 1Laboratorio de Zoología y Ecología Acuática-LAZOEA, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá-Colombia. − [email protected]. 2Scarabaeinae Research Network – ScarabNet. 3Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore, Singa- pore. / Scarabaeinae Research Network – ScarabNet. − [email protected]. Abstract: Dung beetles play significant roles in ecosystem services. However, little is known about their predators. In the low- land dipterocarp forests of Johor (Malaysia), three individuals of Dindymus albicornis have been found preying on an individual of Onthophagus rutilans. This is the first record of a Pyrrhocoridae preying on dung beetle species. Key words: Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Onthophagus, dung beetles, predators, Malaysia. Depredación de Onthophagus rutilans Sharp (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) por Dindymus albicornis (Fabricius) (Hemip- tera: Pyrrhocoridae) Resumen: Los escarabajos coprófagos desempeñan un importante papel en los ecosistemas, y sin embargo es muy poco lo que se conoce de sus depredadores. En un bosque de dipterocarpáceas de Johor (Malasia), tres individuos de Dindymus albi- cornis fueron hallados depredando a un individuo de Onthophagus rutilans. Este es el primer registro de un Pyrrhocoridae de- predando a un escarabajo coprófago. Palabras clave: Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Onthophagus, escarabajos coprófagos, depredadores, Malasia. Dung beetles of the family Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoi- dea) play significant roles in ecosystem services such as nutrient recycling, soil removal and secondary seed dispersal (Nichols et al. 2008). However, little is known about potential predators. Some authors have reported dung beetle predation by various animal groups such as insects, reptiles, birds and mammals (Halffter & Matthews, 1966; Hanski & Cambefort, 1991).

In the genus Coreamachilis, parthenogenesis occurs in C. coreanus, whereas sexual reproduction is found in C. songi. Therefore, after obtaining mitochondrial genome sequences of these two species, we analyzed their selection pressure, based on phylogenetic trees of Microcoryphia. However, no positive selection was found in the mitochondrial protein C. coreanus C. songi coding genes of either or . In addition, a long hairpin structure was found between ND1 and 16S rRNA genes in Machilinae and Petrobiinae, which was highly consistent with the Citation: Guan, J.-Y.; Shen, S.-Q.; phylogenetic results.
