  • Liste Commentée Des Pentatomoidea De La Manche
    Liste commentée des Pentatomoidea de la Manche Deuxième partie : les Pentatominae Cet article constitue donc le deuxième volet de l’inventaire provisoire des pentatomoïdes de la Manche. Le premier, rappelons-le, paru dans L’Argiope 73 (LIVORY , 2011) traitait les Acanthosomatidae, les Cydnidae, les Thyreocoridae, les Scutelleridae et deux sous-familles de Pentatomidae, les Podopinae et les Asopinae. Nous terminons ce recensement avec la sous-famille des Pentatominae. Avant de poursuivre notre énumération, je voudrais rendre hommage à Jean PÉRI C ART (1928-2011) qui nous a quittés l’année passée. Cet éminent entomologiste avait rédigé la plupart des ouvrages de la Faune de France consacrés aux punaises, soit comme auteur unique soit en tant que co-auteur. Les travaux de PÉRI C ART sur les hétéroptères ont une valeur immense et une portée internationale. Les volumes sur les pentatomoïdes étaient en cours de parution et sur les cinq prévus, seuls deux actuellement ont vu le jour. Nous espérons que la disparition de cet auteur n’empêchera pas la poursuite de cette publication et qu’elle conservera le même niveau scientifique. Sous-famille des Pentatominae Ces punaises possèdent un scutellum triangulaire qui ne dépasse guère en arrière le milieu de l’abdomen, ce qui les distingue nettement des Podopinae. Le rostre est mince et atteint au moins les hanches moyennes. Son premier article est logé dans un sillon qui occupe toute la longueur de la tête. Ce caractère sépare sans ambiguïté les Pentatominae des Asopinae. La 28 Bull. trim. ass. Manche-Nature, L’Argiope N° 76-77 (2012) plupart des Pentatominae sont phytophages mais quelques-uns complètent ce régime par une nourriture animale.

  • Arthropods and Nematodes: Functional Biodiversity in Forest Ecosystems
    2 Arthropods and Nematodes: Functional Biodiversity in Forest Ecosystems Pio Federico Roversi and Roberto Nannelli CRA – Research Centre for Agrobiology and Pedology, Florence Italy 1. Introduction Despite the great diversity of habitats grouped under a single name, forests are ecosystems characterized by the dominance of trees, which condition not only the epigeal environment but also life in the soil. Unlike other ecosystems such as grasslands or annual agricultural crops, forests are well characterized by precise spatial structures. In fact, we can identify three main layers in all forests: a canopy layer of tree crowns, including not only green photosynthesizing organs but also branches of various sizes; a layer formed by the tree trunks; a layer including bushes and grasses, which can sometimes be missing when not enough light filters through the canopy. To these layers must be added the litter and soil, which houses the root systems. Other characteristic features of forests, in addition to their structural complexity, are the longevity of the plants, the peculiar microclimates and the presence of particular habitats not found outside of these biocoenoses, such as fallen trunks and tree hollows. Even in the case of woods managed with relatively rapid cycles to produce firewood, forests are particularly good examples of ecosystems organized into superimposed layers that allow the maximum use of the solar energy. The biomass of forests is largely stored in the trees, with the following general distribution: ca. 2% in the leaves and almost 98% in trunks, branches and roots. In conditions of equilibrium between the arboreal vegetation and animal populations, saprophages, which use parts of plants and remains of organisms ending up in the litter, play a very important role.

    EL CONSUMO DE INSECTOS ENTRE LOS LACANDONES DE LA COMUNIDAD BETHEL Y SU VALOR NUTRITIVO Julieta Ramos-Elorduy José Manuel Pino Moreno Departamento de Zoología.Instituto de Biología, UNAM. [email protected] [email protected] RESUMEN Los Lacandones de la comunidad Bethel en la Selva Lacandona, tuvieron un consumo de insectos comestibles que ascendió a 53 especies registradas en sólo una estación del año, pertenecientes a los cuatro órdenes más numerosos de la clase Insecta: Hymenoptera (24 especies), Coleoptera (18 especies), Orthoptera (nueve especies), Lepidoptera (dos especies). La familia mejor representada fue la Vespidae la cual alberga diez especies, correspondientes a los géneros: Polybia, Mischocyttarus, Polistes, Vespula, Brachygastra, Parachartegus y Apoica. El análisis químico realizado con el objeto porcentajes expresados en base seca, oscilan de 25.72% a 76.50% correspondiendo el primer valor a de conocer su valor nutritivo efectuado en 29 especies arrojó un alto contenido de proteínas, cuyos las larvas del escarabajo Aplagiognathus spinosus (Coleoptera-Cerambycidae) y el más alto al chapulín Sphenarium histrio (ninfas y adultos) (Orthoptera-Acrididae). Además, se muestra la composición en aminoácidos de estas proteínas en 14 especies, notando que en general los aminoácidos esenciales se encuentran en buena proporción con respecto al patrón FAO/WHO/UNU 1985 para adultos , siendo varias especies ligeramente limitantes en triptofano. Para el caso de las necesidades de niños (dos a cincoaños), notamos que todas las especies superan los valores con excepción de Ascalapha odorata en el caso de la histidina. También se estudió el contenido de sales minerales, vitaminas del grupo B y la proporción de calorías que albergan, comparándolos con los alimentos convencionales.

    Zootaxa 2717: 62–68 (2010) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2010 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A new genus and two new species of Antillocorini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae: Rhyparochrominae) from Mexico and Guatemala HARRY BRAILOVSKY Instituto de Biología, Departamento de Zoología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Apdo Postal 70153, México D. F. 04510. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract One new genus Branstettocoris and two new species Branstettocoris pinguis (Mexico) and Branstettocoris parvulus (Guatemala) are described, illustrated, and included in the tribe Antillocorini (Rhyparochromidae). A key to the known genera of Mexican and Guatemalan Antillocorini is presented. Key words: Rhyparochromidae. Antillocorini, leaf litter Introduction Until recently, Mexican and Guatemalan Antillocorini (Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Rhyparochromidae) have been largely neglected and their diversity in the region is poorly known. Slater (1964), Slater (1980), Slater and Brailovsky (1986, 1994, 2004), Slater and O’Donnell (1995), Brambila (2000), and Baranowski and Brambila (2001) list four genera and six species for that region: Acolhua barrerai Slater and Brailovsky (México), Acolhua championi Distant (Guatemala), Botocudo neomodesta Slater and Brailovsky (Mexico), Cligenes distinctus Distant (México), Cligenes grandis Brambila (México and Guatemala), and Paurocoris punctatus (Distant) (México). This paper describes one new genus and two new species along with a key to Mexican and Guatemalan genera of Antillocorini. The specimens belong to the project Leaf Litter of Mesoamerica and were collected by sifting leaf litter in oak cloud forests in México and Central America.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Compsidolon Reuter from China with eleven species is reviewed here. Three of them, C. ailaoshanensis, C. flavidum, and C. pilosum are described as new to science. C. eximium (Reuter) is recorded from China for the first time. Compsidolon punctulatum Qi and Nonnaizab, 1995 is treated as a junior synonym of Compsidolon nebulosum (Reuter, 1878). A key to Chinese species of Compsidolon Reuter is given. Photographs of dorsal habitus, scanning electron micrographs of metathoracic scent-gland, and illustrations of male genitalia are also provided. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. Key words: Heteroptera, Miridae, Compsidolon, new species, new synonymy, China Introduction Reuter (1899) erected the monotypic genus Compsidolon to accommodate the type species, C. elegantulum from Syria. It was characterized by the dorsum covered with dark spots. Wagner (1965, 1975) presented keys to subgenera and species, and illustrated the male genitalia. His works were focused on the European fauna. Linnavuori (1992, 1993, 2010) recorded species from Greece, Middle East, and Africa.

The effectiveness of the system was studied by tak- ing photos of 165 insect species including some subspecies from museum collections (105 Coleoptera, 11 Hemi ptera (Pentatomidae), 12 Hymenoptera, 10 Lepidoptera, 9 Mantodea, 4 Odonata, 13 Orthoptera, 1 Phasmatodea) and 16 living insect species (1 Lepidoptera, 3 Mantodea, 4 Orthoptera, 8 Phasmato- dea), from which four are exemplarily pictured herein. The system is based on a modifi ed standard consumer DSLR camera (Canon Rebel XSi), which was altered for two-channel colour infrared photography. The camera is especially sensitive in the spectral range of 700-800 nm, which is well- suited to visualize small scale spectral differences in the steep of increase in refl ectance in this range, as it could be seen in some species. Several of the investigated species show at least a partial infrared refl ectance.

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).

Simple Summary: Biological control (BC) is an effective way to regulate pest populations in hor- ticultural crops, allowing the decrease of pesticide usage. On tomato, predatory insects like plant bugs or mirids provide BC services against several insect pests. Native predators are adapted to local conditions of climate and ecology and therefore may be well suited to provide BC services. Dicyphus cerastii is a predatory mirid that is present in the Mediterranean region and occurs in tomato greenhouses in Portugal. However, little is known about its contribution to BC in this crop. In this study, we evaluated how prey consumption is affected by increasing prey abundance on four different prey, in laboratory conditions. We found that the predator can increase its predation rate until a maximum is reached and that prey characteristics like size and mobility can affect predation.
