From Sarawak, East Malaysia, with a Checklist of the Known Species 国立科博専報，（45）: 53–57, 2008年3月28日 Mem. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Tokyo, (45): 53–57, March 28, 2008 A Small Collection of Tingidae (Insecta: Heteroptera) from Sarawak, East Malaysia, with a Checklist of the Known Species Masaaki Tomokuni Department of Zoology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 3–23–1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 169–0073, Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Ten species of Tingidae in nine genera are recorded from Sarawak, East Malaysia, on the basis of the specimens in the collection of the Sarawak Forest Research Centre, Kuchin, Malaysia, and the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, Japan. Brief notes on their tax- onomy and biology are given, if necessary. Of these, six species, Cantacader quinquecostatus (Fieber, 1844), Pseudophatnoma denticollis (Péricart, 1986), Belenus dentatus (Fieber, 1844), Eritingis recentis (Drake and Poor, 1937), Physatocheila brailovskyi Péricart, 1992, and Trachype- plus borneensis Péricart, 1986, are new to Sarawak. A checklist of the tingid species known from Sarawak is also provided for further studies toward the full inventory of this group.

Drake and Florence A. Ruhoff Introduction A treatise of the generic names of the family Tingidae from a global standpoint embodies problems similar to those frequently encountered in corresponding studies in other animal groups. The more im- portant criteria, including such basic desiderata as fixation of type species, synonyms, priority, and dates of technical publications implicate questions concomitant with recent trends toward the clarification and stabilization of zoological nomenclature. Zoogeography, predicated and authenticated on the generic level by the distribution of genera and species, is portrayed here by means of tables, charts, and maps of the tingifauna of the world. This visual pattern of distribution helps one to form a more vivid concept of the family and its hierarchic levels of subfamilies and genera. To a limited extent the data indicate distributional concentrations and probable centers of evolution and dispersal paths of genera. The phylogenetic relationship of genera is not discussed. The present treatise recognizes 216 genera (plus 79 synonyms, homonyms, and emendations) of the Tingidae of the world and gives 1 Research for this paper was supported In part by the National Science Foundation, grant No. 4095. 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 112 the figure of 1,767 as the approximate number of species now recog- nized.

Plerochila australis (Distant, 1904) has been reported as the species responsible for damage to olive trees; however, the diversity of olive lace bug species in the region has lacked attention. Adult olive lace bugs were collected incidentally from wild and cultivated olive trees in the Western Cape Province, and identified as P. australis and Neoplerochila paliatseasi (Rodrigues, 1981).

  • Biosystematics of Tingidae on the Basis of the Biology and Micro­ Morphology of Their Eggs*
    Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Anirn. Sci.), Vol. 96, No. 5, September 1987, pp. 587-611. (D Printed in India. Biosystematics of Tingidae on the basis of the biology and micro­ morphology of their eggs* DA YID LIYINGSTONE and MHSYACOOB Division of Entomology, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore 641 046, India Abstract. The biology and micromorphology of the eggs of 40 species belonging to 26 genera and two subfamilies of Tingidae from southern India have been studied and considered for an assessment of their biosystematics. The oviposition strategy is intimately correlated with the selection of oviposition site on the host plant, determined by the shape and size of the egg and accomplished by appropriately developed ovipositing mechanism involving the structural features of the first gonapophyses. The oviposition pattern is accordingly classified and the eggs are classified on the basis of the nature of development of the chorionic collar cum opercular apparatus. Characterization of the eggs and assessment of their systematic importance ha ve been linked with the origin and evolution of adaptive radiation of oviposition strategies of their egg parasitoids as well. Production of season oriented dimorphic eggs is common among species that oviposit their long operculate eggs vertically in clusters, either into stems or rachis or pistil. Lamina ovipositors preferentially oviposit into the mesophyll horizontally. without cluster formation, on the undersurface of the leaves and the significant reduction in the number of aeropyles of such oval, short operculate eggs could be correlated with thc abundance of oxygen supply of the ambient air. More elongate, long operculate eggs in Tingidae, characterized by their multiplicity of aeropyles and vertical oviposition in clusters into stems, rachis and pistil, signify primitiveness, as observed in Cantacaderinae and some large sized Tinginae, Micropyles are absent in tingid eggs, as fertilization occurs before chorion formation and a true spermatheca is wanting.

  • Biodiversity Summary: Wimmera, Victoria
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

After all, The Netherlands is not very far as the bug flies and with a following wind there could easily be immigrants reaching our shores at any time. We have also introduced an Archive section, for historical articles, to appear when space allows. As always we are very grateful to all the providers of material for this issue and, for the next issue, look forward to hearing about your 2004 (& 2003) exploits, exciting finds, regional news, innovative gadgets etc. Sheila Brooke 18 Park Hill Toddington Dunstable Beds LU5 6AW [email protected] Bernard Nau 15 Park Hill Toddington Dunstable Beds LU5 6AW [email protected] Contents Editorial .................................................................... 1 Forthcoming & recent events ................................. 7 Dutch Bug Atlas....................................................... 1 Checklist of British water bugs .............................. 8 Recent changes in the Dutch Heteroptera............. 2 The Lygus situation............................................... 11 Uncommon Heteroptera from S.
