EENY-170 Ladybirds, Ladybird beetles, Lady Beetles, Ladybugs of Florida, Coleoptera: Coccinellidae1 J. H. Frank R. F. Mizell, III2 Introduction Ladybird is a name that has been used in England for more than 600 years for the European beetle Coccinella septempunctata. As knowledge about insects increased, the name became extended to all its relatives, members of the beetle family Coccinellidae. Of course these insects are not birds, but butterflies are not flies, nor are dragonflies, stoneflies, mayflies, and fireflies, which all are true common names in folklore, not invented names. The lady for whom they were named was "the Virgin Mary," and common names in other European languages have the same association (the German name Marienkafer translates Figure 1. Adult Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, the to "Marybeetle" or ladybeetle). Prose and poetry sevenspotted lady beetle.

Coccinella septempunctata. We can but hope that newspaper writers will desist from generalizing them In the USA, the name ladybird was popularly all as "the ladybird" and thus deluding the public into americanized to ladybug, although these insects are believing that there is only one species. There are beetles (Coleoptera), not bugs (Hemiptera). many species of ladybirds, just as there are of birds, and the word "variety" (frequently use by newspaper 1.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new scale insect, Aolacoccus angophorae gen. nov. and sp. nov. (Eriococcidae), is described from the bark of Ango- phora (Myrtaceae) growing in the Sydney area of New South Wales, Australia. These insects do not produce honeydew, are not ant-tended and probably feed on cortical parenchyma. The adult female is pupillarial as it is retained within the cuticle of the penultimate (second) instar. The crawlers (mobile first-instar nymphs) emerge via a flap or operculum at the posterior end of the abdomen of the second-instar exuviae. The adult and second-instar females, second-instar male and first-instar nymph, as well as salient features of the apterous adult male, are described and illustrated. The adult female of this new taxon has some morphological similarities to females of the non-pupillarial palm scale Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell (Phoenicococcidae), the pupillarial palm scales (Halimococcidae) and some pupillarial genera of armoured scales (Diaspididae), but is related to other Australian Myrtaceae-feeding eriococcids.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • A Modified Technique for the Preparation of Specimens of Sternorryncha for Taxonomic Studies
    Tropical Agricultural Research Vol. 24 (2): 139 - 149 (2013) A Modified Technique for the Preparation of Specimens of Sternorryncha for Taxonomic Studies U.G.A.I. Sirisena*, G.W. Watson1, K.S. Hemachandra2 and H.N.P. Wijayagunasekara2 Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture University of Peradeniya Sri Lanka ABSTRACT. The insects belonging to Order Hemiptera: Suborder Sternorrhyncha (aphids, scale insects and mealybugs, whiteflies and psyllids) are often pests on cultivated crops. Identification of these pests is necessary to ensure the application of appropriate control methods. Identification of these insects is based on microscopic morphological characters that can only be studied at high magnification. Different slide preparation techniques are being used for different insect groups, and many of the reagents used in these techniques are highly toxic. This paper provides methods for preservation and the preparation of temporary and permanent slide mounts, using less toxic reagents. The proposed slide-mounting procedure involves maceration, bleaching, acidification, staining, stain differentiation, de-waxing, and clearing of specimens before mounting them on slides. Specific conditions required at each step and modifications necessary to adapt the method for use with different insect families are discussed. Keywords: Preservation, slide mounting, Sternorrhyncha, taxonomy INTRODUCTION Members of the Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha; aphids (Aphidoidea), whiteflies (Aleyrodoidea), mealybugs and scale insects (Coccoidea) and the immature stages of psyllids (Psylloidea) have soft membranous bodies. If these insects are preserved as dry specimens, they crumple and distort and the colour of the body, and sometimes of the waxy covering, changes so that they cannot be identified to genus or species level with confidence. The taxonomy of the Sternorrhyncha is based on microscopic characters on the cuticle that can only be studied and measured on slide-mounted specimens (Watson and Chandler, 2000).

INTRODUCTION Scale insects are plant-sap feeding insects, closely related to the aphids, whiteflies and jumping plant lice or psyllids. They are among the most highly specialised of all plant parasites and feed on all parts of the plant including the roots, stems, leaves, buds and fruit. Some feed within hollow plant stems or plant galls; others mine beneath bark or live within plant tissue. There are about 7,500 species assigned to 1050 genera, in 28 or more families, in the superfamily Coccoidea. The higher classification is unresolved but here they are placed in the suborder Sternorrhyncha in the order Hemiptera. The purpose of this guide is to provide information that will assist workers in the United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs) to detect and identify scale insects to family level. This is intended to help develop diagnostic capacity within the UKOTs.
