Beyond the taxonomic and distribution information of this species, the basic traits of its biology remain unknown. This study aims to describe some biological aspects of O. assimilis, in a natural pine forest at Nicolás Bravo, Puebla (NB). Using morphological characteristics and a phylogenetic analysis of a fragment of cytochrome oxidase subunit I mtDNA (COI), immature instars with adults were studied; the instar number was determined by means of a multivariate analysis of 19 morphological characteristics of 121 specimens. The systematic sampling to evaluate the occurrence of nymphal specimens during a year, plus host selection experiments, allowed for determination of the abundance over time, voltism, and host preferences.

  • Uma Nova Espécie De Kanaima Ou Mahanarva? (Hemiptera, Cercopidae, Tomaspidinae)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Universidade Federal do Paraná JULIANE FRANZEN STANCIK Uma nova espécie de Kanaima ou Mahanarva? (Hemiptera, Cercopidae, Tomaspidinae) Monografia apresentada ao Departamento de Zoologia, Setor de Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná, como requisito parcial para a obtenção do grau de Bacharel em Ciências Biológicas. Orientador: Prof. Dr Rodney R. Cavichioli. CURITIBA 2001 AGRADECIMENTOS Ao professor e amigo Rodney Ramiro Cavichioli, pela “des”orientação, pelo incentivo, pela convivência, pela paciência, pela preciosa ajuda, e por ter me dado oportunidade e acreditado em mim. Aos meus queridos pais, Julio Cesar Stancik e Edna Franzen Stancik, pelo amor incondicional, pelo respeito e apoio na minha escolha profissional e por terem feito o possível e impossível para que eu realizasse este sonho. Aos meus irmãozinhos, Daniel Franzen Stancik e Fernanda Franzen Stancik, que mesmo a contra-gosto, me ajudaram quando precisei. Aos meus amigos, pela amizade e convivência. À minha grande amiga e fiel escudeira Simone Cristina Massuquetto, pelo eterno companheirismo e amizade, pela paciência, sem contar pela enorme ajuda na conclusão deste trabalho. À Larissa De Bortolli Chiamolera, pela praticamente co-orientação e pela amizade. À bióloga e secretária da Coordenação Rosane Cavet Martins, pela dedicação e pelos “jeitinhos” sem os quais muitos de nós não nos formaríamos. E a Deus. RESUMO Cercopidae apresenta aproximadamente 48 gêneros Neotropicais, sendo que, os gêneros estão mal definidos e não há chaves para identificação dos mesmos. O trabalho aqui apresentado, teve a finalidade de enquadrar uma espécie nova em um dos dois gêneros, Kanaima (Distant, 1909) ou Mahanarva (Distant, 1909) em que a mesma, no aspecto externo, mais se aproximava.

Oak St., Champaign, IL 61820, USA. 4Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] This special issue of Zootaxa is published in honor of Dr. Albino Morimasa Sakakibara from the Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil, one of the most prolific living taxonomists of auchenorrhynchan Hemiptera. Dr. Sakakibara is the author of more than 100 scientific articles spanning the years 1968 to 2017. His works have encompassed various fields of biology including natural history, comparative morphology, phylogenetics, and taxonomy treating approximately 60 genera of treehoppers, leafhoppers, and spittlebugs. His outstanding record of contributions to our field also includes an extensive and successful history of graduate student training—twelve taxonomists currently working on several insect groups—along with thorough curation of the insect collection at his home institution, now constituting inarguably the most comprehensive holdings of Auchenorrhyncha in Brazil. In this editorial, we provide a brief overview of Dr.

Holley Center for Agriculture & Health 538 Tower Road Ithaca, New York 14853-2901, USA IMPORTANT NOTE Recent phylogenetically based reclassifications of fungal pathogens of invertebrates Richard A. Humber Insect Mycologist and Curator, ARSEF UPDATED July 2011 Some seemingly dramatic and comparatively recent changes in the classification of a number of fungi may continue to cause confusion or a degree of discomfort to many of the clients of the cultures and informational resources provided by the ARSEF culture collection. This short treatment is an attempt to summarize some of these changes, the reasons for them, and to provide the essential references to the literature in which the changes are proposed. As the Curator of the ARSEF collection I wish to assure you that these changes are appropriate, progressive, and necessary to modernize and to stabilize the systematics of the fungal pathogens affecting insects and other invertebrates, and I urge you to adopt them into your own thinking, teaching, and publications.

The appended figures are to be substituted as represent- ing the percentages of identifications among all Lepidoptera. In explanation of the third column in this table, it may be said that it differs from others given further on in the work by omission of figures for families not represented among the food identifications.
