Fauna of New Zealand 50 5 POPULAR SUMMARY HE WHAKARAPOPOTOTANGA Class Insecta Order Hemiptera Suborder Heteroptera True bugs (Heteroptera) Heteroptera, or true bugs, are generally regarded as a suborder of the Hemiptera. 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.

    Synopsis of the Heteroptera or True Bugs of the Galapagos Islands ' 4k. RICHARD C. JROESCHNE,RD SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 407 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • Drought, Dispersal, and Community Dynamics in Arid-Land Streams
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Michael T. Bogan for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology presented on July 10, 2012. Title: Drought, Dispersal, and Community Dynamics in Arid-land Streams Abstract approved: _____________________________________ David A. Lytle Understanding the mechanisms that regulate local species diversity and community structure is a perennial goal of ecology. Local community structure can be viewed as the result of numerous local and regional processes; these processes act as filters that reduce the regional species pool down to the observed local community. In stream ecosystems, the natural flow regime (including the timing, magnitude, and duration of high and low flow events) is widely recognized as a primary regulator of local diversity and community composition. This is especially true in arid- land streams, where low- and zero-flow events can occur frequently and for extended periods of time (months to years). Additionally, wetted habitat patches in arid-land stream networks are often fragmented within and among stream networks. Thus dispersal between isolated aquatic patches may also play a large role in regulating local communities. In my dissertation, I explored the roles that drought, dispersal, and local habitat factors play in structuring arid-land stream communities. I examined the impact of flow permanence and seasonal variation in flow and other abiotic factors on aquatic communities at both fine spatial scales over a long time period (8 years; Chapter 2) and at a broad spatial scale over a shorter time period (1-2 years; Chapter 4). Additionally, I quantified aquatic invertebrate aerial dispersal over moderate spatial scales (≤ 0.5 km) by conducting a colonization experiment using artificial stream pools placed along and inland from two arid-land streams (Chapter 4).

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).

DULSTICH* EppingForest Conseraation Centre ABsrRAcr The distribution of five speciesof shield bug was studied with different host plant species,structure, condition and age in Epping Forest, Essex. Stands of beech, birch and oak-hornbeam, as well as scrubland gorse and hawthorn, were sampled, each tree being characterisedb1 a variet.vofparameters including bole circumference, pollard- ing and defoliation class. Correlations between shield bug species and host plant character were expressedthtough chi-squared analysesof presencelabsencedata for the samples.Resuits suggesta high degreeofhost specificity amongst the phytophage species studied and probably a preference for earlv successionalplant stages.Prei- erential utilisation of mature and non-defoliated hosts is aiso apparenr. The resuits are discussedin terms ofthe requirements ofthe bugs and the nutritional vaiue ofthe host. Ir is conciuded that nitrogen availability within and between host plant species is likeiy to be highly influential in deterrnining the diet and distribution of shielcj bugs, and indeed other selecrive-feedingheteroptera.

  • Hemiptera, Prosorrhyncha) with Special Reference to the Pregenital Abdominal Structure1
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Justification for the Aradimorpha as an infraorder of the suborder Heteroptera (Hemiptera, Prosorrhyncha) with Special Reference to the Pregenital Abdominal Structure1 M.H. SWEET Abstract: Aradomorpha SWEET 1996 is replaced with Aradimorpha because of homonymy with Arado- morpha CHAMPION 1899, a genus of Reduviidae. The Aradimorpha differ from the Pentatomomorpha s.s. and the Leptopodomorpha in having a plesiomorphic connexivum of dorsal epipleurites and ventral hy- popleurites rather than having the connexivum turned over so that the hypopleurites are dorsalized and the epipleurites folded into the abdomen. In most Aradimorpha, in both males and females, sterna 3 to 7 are free with intersegmental conjunctiva; terga 1-2 and 3 to 6 are united, but all epipleurites are free. In the Pentatomomorpha at least abdominal sterna 2 to 4 in females and sterna 2 to 5 in males are uni- ted or fused without conjunctiva. In some aradids the hypopleurites are united or fused with the sterna, but hypopleurite 2 is usually free. Sternum 2 is sometimes united to fused with sternum 1 and the meta- sternum. The abdominal spiracles in the Aradimorpha are ventral on the hypopleurites, although some- times very lateral in position on the hypopleurites, with the exception of the Chinamyersiini in which spiracles 4, 5 and 6 are dorsal on the epipleurites in Chinamyersia, and 5 and 6 dorsal in Gnostocoris, whi- le in the Tretocorini (Tretocoris and Kumaressa) spiracle 2 seems dorsal but is actually very lateral on the hypopleurite. In the Termitaphididae, epipleurites and hypopleurites are distinct, forming mobile lateral abdominal lobes.
