We describe the mating behavior of Adelosgryllus rubricephalus Mesa & Zefa, 2004. In trials carried out in laboratory we verified the following mating sequence: (1) sexual recognition by antennation; (2) courtship with male turning his abdomen towards the female, performing mediolateral antennae vibration, jerking its body antero-posteriorly and stridulating intermittently, while receptive female drums on the male’s abdomen tip, cerci and hind-tibia with her palpi or foretarsi; the male then stops and stays motionless for some seconds, extrudes the spermatophore and both restart the behavioral sequence described above; (3) copulation: male underneath female; with his tegmina inclined forward, and joins his genitalia to the female’s to promote sperm transference ; the female steps off the male, occurring a brief end-to-end position; (4) postcopulation: without guarding behavior; male retains the spermatophore and eats it. We quantified elapsed time of each behavioral sequence and discussed its implications in the observed mating behavior. KEYWORDS. Insecta, Phalangopsidae, crickets, courtship, copulation. -

Material collected in northwestern Bolivia by Dr. William M. Mann in 1921-1922 while a member of the Mulford Biological Ex- ploration of the Amazon Basin. A list of his headquarters stations and a map of his itinerary are shown by Snyder (1926) and a popular account of the expedition is given by MacCreagh (1926). 2. Material taken at Pucallpa on the Rio Ucayali and at other Peruvian locahties by Jos6 M. Schunke in 1948-1949 and obtained for the U. S. National Museiun by Dr. Gurney. 3. Material collected in 1949-1950 at Tingo Maria, Peril, and nearby localities by Dr. Harry A. Allard, a retired botanist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture who was engaged primarily in col- lecting plants. All of the principal collecting sites represented by this material are in the drainage of the Amazon River. Some 500 miles separate the area worked over by Allard and Schunke from that where Mann collected. A few Brazilian and Chilean specimens are also included.

Mitochondrial Genome Characterization of the Family Trigonidiidae
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mitochondrial genome characterization of the family Trigonidiidae (Orthoptera) reveals novel structural features and nad1 transcript ends Chuan Ma1,3, Yeying Wang2,3, Licui Zhang1 & Jianke Li1* The Trigonidiidae, a family of crickets, comprises 981 valid species with only one mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequenced to date. To explore mitogenome features of Trigonidiidae, six mitogenomes from its two subfamilies (Nemobiinae and Trigonidiinae) were determined. Two types of gene rearrangements involving a trnN-trnS1-trnE inversion and a trnV shufing were shared by Trigonidiidae. A long intergenic spacer was observed between trnQ and trnM in Trigonidiinae (210−369 bp) and Nemobiinae (80–216 bp), which was capable of forming extensive stem-loop secondary structures in Trigonidiinae but not in Nemobiinae. The anticodon of trnS1 was TCT in Trigonidiinae, rather than GCT in Nemobiinae and other related subfamilies. There was no overlap between nad4 and nad4l in Dianemobius, as opposed to a conserved 7-bp overlap commonly found in insects. Furthermore, combined comparative analysis and transcript verifcation revealed that nad1 transcripts ended with a U, corresponding to the T immediately preceding a conserved motif GAGAC in the superfamily Grylloidea, plus poly-A tails. The resultant UAA served as a stop codon for species lacking full stop codons upstream of the motif. Our fndings gain novel understanding of mitogenome structural diversity and provide insight into accurate mitogenome annotation. Te typical mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of insects is a circular molecule ranging in size from 15 kb to 18 kb1. It harbors 37 genes including two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). -

LES INSECTES PHYTOPHAGES ASSOCIÉS À DES PLANTES EXOTIQUES ENVAHISSANTES À L’ÎLE DE LA RÉUNION (MASCAREIGNES) Marc ATTIÉ1, Stéphane BARET1 & Dominique STRASBERG1 SUMMARY. — Phytophagous insects associated to non-native invasive plants at Réunion Island (Mascarene). — Absence of the natural enemies that limit their populations in their areas of origin generally explains the propagation of invasive plants. Few associations are known between invasive plants and insects at Réunion Island. There, in infested indigenous ecosystems, 42 phytophagous insects (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera and Phasmida), among which 19 are endemic of one or several Mascarene Islands, have been recorded on 20 non-native invasive plant species. Among the 220 associations with invasive or indigenous plants 147 were not recorded before. Lepidoptera and Coleoptera form the predominant insect groups. Lepidoptera include several families: Crambidae, Geo- metridae, Hesperiidae, Noctuidae, Nymphalidae, Sphingidae, whereas Coleoptera (14 species) are mainly Curculionidae with 13 recognized weevil species. The host range spectrum is very broad for the greatest part of collected insects. The endemic species of Geometridae are essentially associated with endemic plants (39% of records) while the species with a broad distribution are mainly recorded on invasive species. The Geometridae family is more closely associated with endemic plants than Noctui- dae and Curculionidae; while the Noctuidae with a broad distribution are more closely associated with alien plants (30% of the records) than Geometridae and Curculionidae (respectively 7% et 4%). Some endemic polyphagous Curculionidae are also associated with invasive (14%) or non-invasive (8%) exo- tic plants. These significant differences are mainly explained by the very nature of the diet. -
