  • Idolothripinae
    Index | Glossary A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Idolothripinae Introduction The sub-order Tubulifera comprises a single family of living thrips, the Phlaeothripidae, and in this two subfamilies are recognised (ThripsWiki, 2020). Subfamily Phlaeothripinae includes 2990 described species in 370 genera worldwide, and the Idolothripinae 735 species in 83 genera. An alternative classification proposed by Bhatti (1992, 1994) recognised an Head & pronotumWingless female Male head & fore leg Order Tubulifera in which eight small families were distinguished from Phlaeothripidae. There is no general introduction to the Phlaeothripidae of Australia, but introductions are available to the taxa in this Family from the Neotropics (Mound & Marullo, 1996) and also from Japan (Okajima, 2006). An introduction to the Idolothripinae of Australia that included 70 species in 23 genera is well out-of- Female Male Female Head & pronotum date (Mound, 1974), but a revision is available of the taxa related to the genus Nesothrips (Eow et al., 2014), as is a key to world genera of this subfamily (Mound & Palmer, 1983). Currently, just over 100 species in 25 genera of Idolothripinae are listed from Australia, but only six of the genera are endemic, with most having wide distributions across Asia and the Pacific. Wingless & winged females These spore-feeding thrips live on the surface of dead twigs and Head & pronotum (wingless branches, and also in leaf-litter on the ground (Tree & Walter, female) 2012). Thrips on dead bark in Australia are exposed to desiccation, and also to a wide range of predators including birds, lizards, ants and spiders.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

  • Subsociality and Female Reproductive Success in a Mycophagous Thrips: an Observational and Experimental Analysis
    Journal of lnsect Behavior, 1Iol. 3, No. 1, 1990 Subsociality and Female Reproductive Success in a Mycophagous Thrips: An Observational and Experimental Analysis Bernard J. Crespi 1'2 Accepted October 17, 1988; revised February 6, 1989 Oviparous females of the haplodiploid, facultatively viviparous thrips Ela- phrothrips tuberculatus (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) guard their eggs against female conspecifics and other egg predators. The intensity of maternal defense increases with clutch size. Field and laboratory observations indicate that cannibalism by females is an important selective pressure favoring mater- nal care. Experimental removals of guarding females showed that egg guarding substantially increases egg survivorship and that the survivorship of undefended eggs is higher in the absence of nonguarding female conspecifics than in their presence. The fecundity of viviparous females increases with the number of eggs cannibalized. The reproductive success of oviparous females increases with body size and local food density and decreases with local density of breeding females. Social behavior may not have advanced beyond maternal care in Elaphrothrips tuberculatus because, relative to Hymenoptera, capabilities for helping rela- tives are few or nonexistent, and the causes of variation in female reproductive success are not influenced easily by cooperation among females.

  • A Survey on Pest Insect Fauna of Safflower Fields in the Iranian Province of Kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad
    African Journal of Agricultural Research Vol. 6(19), pp. 4441-4446, 19 September, 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJAR ISSN 1991-637X ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper A survey on pest insect fauna of safflower fields in the Iranian Province of Kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad Karim Saeidi* and Nur Azura Adam Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, University Putra Malaysia, 43400, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia. Accepted 22 July, 2011 Safflower ( Carthamus tinctorius L.) is an important oilseed crop and an essential component of cropping systems in the dry regions and marginal areas of the world. Since the identification of insect pests and their natural enemies is one of the most efficient methods for pest management, an attempt was made to investigate insect fauna in safflower fields of Kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad Provinces, Iran. To accomplish this, three main cultivation regions were selected and insect pests and their natural enemies were surveyed and collected according to the plant phenology during 2008 to 2009. To sample different techniques, such as sweeping, sticky yellow traps, bait traps and rearing of adult insects, were used. Pest insect fauna was as follows: 1) Pest insects feeding inside the flower heads (bolls) and their natural enemies: Acanthiophilus helianthi , Chaetorellia carthami , Trellia luteola (Tephritidae), Antistrophoplex conthurnatus , Microdontomenu annulatus (Torymidae), Bracon hebetor , Bracon luteator (Braconidae); unidentified specimen (Ichneumonidae), Pronotalia carlinarum (Eulophidae), Ormyrus orientalis (Ormyridae), Colotrechnus viridis , Pteromalus sp. (Pteromalidae), Eurytoma acroptilae (Eurytomidae); Isocolus tinctorius (Cynipidae). 2) Pest insects feeding around the flower heads (bolls) and their natural enemies: Oxycarenus palens , Oxycarenus hyalipennis , Lygus spp. (Lygaeidae), unidentified specimens (Dermestidae), Aphids and Thripses.

E-mail: Abstract: A new checklist of Thysanoptera from China (including Taiwan) is provided. In total 566 species in 155 genera are listed, of which there are 313 species in the suborder Terebrantia, comprising 290 species in 74 genera in family Thripidae, 18 species in three genera in Aeolothripidae, two species in one genus in Melanthripidae and three species in one genus in Merothripidae. In the suborder Tubulifera 253 species in 76 genera are listed in the single family Phlaeothripidae. Two species, Aeolothrips collaris and Odontothrips meliloti, are newly recorded for the fauna of China.

  • Megalothrips Bonannii Distinguishing Features Both Sexes Fully Winged
    Megalothrips bonannii Distinguishing features Both sexes fully winged. Body, legs and antennae brown to dark brown; antennal segments III–V bicoloured, yellow with apices brown; fore wings pale; major setae pale but setae on tergite IX and anal setae all brown. Antennae 8-segmented, segment III with 2 slender sense cones, IV with 4 similar sense cones; VIII with narrow pedicel. Head elongate, slightly elevated in midline, cheeks weakly convex, with one pair of short stout setae behind eyes; one pair of long setae on anterior margins of ocellar triangle, 3 pairs of shorter setae on vertex Head of Megalothrips delmasiAntenna (postocellar,postocular and midvertex); maxillary stylets close together medially in head, retracted to compound eyes. Pronotum with no epimeral sutures; epimeral setae as long as antennal segment III with apices bluntly pointed, remaining Pelta major setae shorter; prosternal basantra present, mesopresternum transverse. Fore tarsus with no tooth. Fore wing broad, parallel sided, with about 30 duplicated cilia. First abdominal segment, pelta, with slender lateral wings; tube long with prominent setae along lateral margins. Male with no fore tarsal tooth; abdominal tergite VI laterally with pair of drepanae extending beyond segment VII; tube similar to female. Tergite IX & tube Related species The genus Megalothrips comprises eight species; three from North America, three from eastern Asia, and two from Europe. It is closely related to Megathrips and Bacillothrips, but has much longer maxillary stylets than species in either of those genera. Together with the tropical species-rich genus Bactrothrips it seems likely that these represent a single clade, within which recognition of smaller genera has limited phylogenetic significance.
