AUCHENORRHYNCHA (INSECTA: HEMIPTERA) DEL ÁREA PROTEGIDA MIL CUMBRES (PINAR DEL RÍO, CUBA) Marta M. Hidalgo-Gato & Rosanna Rodríguez-León Instituto de Ecología y Sistemática, CITMA, A. P. 8029, C. P. 10 800, La Habana, Cuba − [email protected] Resumen: Se estudió la biodiversidad de los hemípteros Auchenorrhyncha en el Área Protegida Mil Cumbres, donde se encuentra la mayor elevación de la parte occidental de Cuba (Sierra del Pan de Guajaibón, 701 msnm). Las muestreos fueron realizados en 1999 y entre los años 2001 y 2005 y se efectuaron principalmente con red entomológica, aunque también se emplearon trampas Malaise y se realizaron muestreos directos a la luz. Se capturaron un total de 5615 ejemplares y 112 taxones, que incluyen dos nuevos registros para Cuba y 39 para el área protegida, 14 de ellas son endemismos cubanos. Las familias mejor representadas fueron Cicadellidae (46 %) y Delphacidae (16 %). Los taxones más abundantes fueron los cicadélidos Graminella cognita Caldwell, 1952, Hortensia similis (Walker, 1881), Tylozygus geometricus (Signoret, 1854), Empoasca sp., Typhlocybella minima Baker, 1903, Chlorotettix minimus Baker, 1898; Protalebrella brasiliensis Baker, 1899, Kunzeana myersi (Mc Atee, 1926), Joruma sp., Xestoce- phalus desertorum (Berg, 1901) y los delfácidos Delphacodes teapae (Fowler, 1905) y Delphacodes fulvidorsum (Metcalf, 1923). Palabras clave: Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, diversidad, área protegida, Cuba. Auchenorrhyncha (Insecta: Hemiptera) of the Protected Area Mil Cumbres (Pinar del Río, Cuba) Abstract: A study was made of the diversity hemipterans Auchenorrhyncha in the Protected Area Mil Cumbres, where is the high- est elevation in the occidental part of Cuba. Collecting was carried out in 1999 and between 2001 and 2005. The sweep net mainly, although Malaise traps and light collect were used. A total of 5615 specimens were captured, which represented 112 taxa, including two new record for Cuba and 39 for the protected, 14 of them are Cubans endemics. The families with highest numbers of species were Cicadellidae (46 %) and Delphacidae (16 %). The more abundant taxa were the leafhoppers Graminella cognita Caldwell, 1952, Hortensia similis (Walker, 1881), Tylozygus geometricus (Signoret, 1854), Empoasca sp., Typhlocybella minima Baker, 1903, Chlorotettix minimus Baker, 1898; Protalebrella brasiliensis Baker, 1899, Kunzeana myersi (Mc Atee, 1926), Joruma sp., Xesto- cephalus desertorum (Berg, 1901) and the planthoppers Delphacodes teapae (Fowler, 1905) and Delphacodes fulvidorsum (Metcalf, 1923).

Los muestreos directos a la luz se realizaron en el hora- rio entre las 9:00 PM hasta las 12:00 PM aproximadamente, empleando una bombilla de mercurio de luz blanca (100 watts) conectada a un generador eléctrico portátil; el cual se colocó sobre una pantalla (tela blanca de 2m x 2m) ubicada en contra de la corriente de aire y perpendicular al suelo, en el borde de un pinar que daba hacia un camino en la loma El Kíkere. También se efectuaron muestreos nocturnos aprove- chando la luz de una lámpara fluorescente de 40 watts situa- das en la Estación Biológica Mil Cumbres, lugar de aloja- miento durante los períodos de muestreos. Este método se aplicó durante dos noches correspondientes a marzo y junio de 1999.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

  • Abstract Balme, Geoffrey Robert
    ABSTRACT BALME, GEOFFREY ROBERT. Phylogeny and Systematics of the Leafhopper Subfamily Typhlocybinae (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae). (Under the direction of Lewis L. Deitz and Brian M. Wiegmann.) This research examined the phylogeny of the tribes of the leafhopper subfamily Typhlocybinae using both morphological, 73 binary and multistate characters, and molecular, 16S rDNA and Histone (H3), evidence. Seventy-five taxa were included in the morphological study, and 48 were included in the molecular analysis. The combined, total evidence, analysis used 48 taxa common to both sets of data. Results of the total evidence analyses suggested four tribes with the following topology: Alebrini + (Empoascini + Typhlocybini) + (Dikraneurini including subtribe Erythroneurina). This topology does not completely resemble any of the last century’s major typhlocybine works, but comes closest to Dr. Young’s 1952 reclassification of the Western Hemisphere Typhlocybinae. Based on the results of these analyses, a revised classification is proposed which synonymizes tribes Forcipatini Hamilton 1998 and Erythroneurini Young 1952 as Dikraneurini McAtee 1926, Jorumini McAtee 1926 and Helionini Haupt 1929 as Empoascini Distant 1908, and Zyginellini Dworakowska 1977 as Typhlocybini Distant 1908. A key is provided to distinguish the tribes, and each is described with notes on distribution and evolutionary relationships, a list of the included genera (current to February. 2007), and illustrations of key morphological characters. DISCLAIMER Nomenclatural acts included in this thesis are not considered published within the meaning of the 1999 International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (see Article 8.3). This work will be published in parts elsewhere, in accordance with Article 8 of the Code. This dissertation is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant number 9978026 and by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service.

  • On Accidental Immigration and Establishment of Terrestrial Arthropods in Hawaii During Recent Years*
    Vol. XVII!, No. 1, August, 1962 99 On Accidental Immigration and Establishment of Terrestrial Arthropods in Hawaii During Recent Years* John W. Beardsley EXPERIMENT STATION, HSPA HONOLULU, HAWAII {Presidential Address delivered at the meeting of December 11, 1961) Introduction During the past several years, one of my duties at the Experiment Station, HSPA, has been the weekly screening of insects taken in light traps which we operate at two locations on the periphery of Pearl Harbor. Primarily, these traps are for the early detection of new pests of sugar cane which might become established here, but fortunately for the sugar industry, no new major pests of cane have been detected during the approximately 18 years these traps have been in operation. However, in that time, about 35 species of insects new to Hawaii, a number of them pests or potential pests, have been discovered in material from these traps (Beardsley, 1958). During this same period many other new immigrants were collected by various means by entomologists in the state. The number of new immigrant arthropods recorded each year is substantial, as a perusal of past numbers of these "Proceedings" will show. Since most recent immigrants of economic importance in Hawaii are of foreign origin, I think it pertinent to examine these records in some detail to determine the following: l) the rate at which we are receiving new immigrant arthropods; 2) the kinds of arthropods which are becoming established here; and 3) the source areas from which such immigrants come to Hawaii. At the outset I wish to state most emphatically that this address is not intended to be critical in any way of quarantine regulations or their enforcement by either Federal or State agencies.
