Studies on the Flash Communication System in Photinus Fireflies MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, NO. 130 Studies on the Flash Communication System in Photinus Fireflies BY JAMES E. LLOYD Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan ANN ARBOR MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN NOVEMBER 25, 1966 MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, consist of two series-the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publications. Both series were founded by Dr. Bryant Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, and Dr. W. W. Newcomb. The Occasional Papers, publication of which was begun in 1913, serve as a medium for original studies based principally upon the collections in the Museum. They are issued separately. When a sufficient number of pages has been printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents, and an index are supplied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the series. The Miscellaneous Publications, which include papers on field and museum tech- niques, monographic studies, and other contributions not within the scope of the Occasional Papers, are published separately. It is not intended that they be grouped into volumes. Each number has a title page and, when necessary, a table of contents. A complete list of publications on Birds, Fishes, Insects, Mammals, Mollusks, and Reptiles and Amphibians is available. Address inquires to the Director, Museum of Zoology, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104.

STUDIES ON THE FLASH COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN PHOTINUS FIREFLIES" THE FIRST indication of human awareness of the function of light pro- duction in fireflies is found in a legend from India of cobras attracting fire flies to glowing stones (Harvey, 1957). The function of flashing as a mating adaptation was established early in the twentieth century largely through the studies of McDermott (1911-1917). During this period the flashes of males of several species and the response flashes of females of a few species were described, and the role of species-specific flash signals in reproductive isolation was demonstrated. In 1951, Barber, through observations of male flash-patterns, recognized several cryptic species in the genus Photurls. Although numerous recent studies have dealt with the physiology and biochemistry of firefly luminescence, only five have been concerned with the communicative function (Schwalb, 1961; Kaufmann, 1965; Lloyd, 19640, 1965n, 1965b). There have been no studies or theoretical discussions cotlsidering the general biological and physical factors governing the func- tioning and evolution of communication in fireflies. In spite of a volun~ino~~sliterature on American fireflies, the signals of most described species are unknown. The presumed functioning in reproductive isolation of the various parameters of the flash signal sys- tem, such as color and flash rate, is mentioned frequently in textbooks, not because the significance of these parameters has been demonstrated, but because variations among some species have been observed. The purpose of this study is to establish a founclation of general knowl- edge on firefly mating behavior; such general information should pinpoint species best suited for studies on the role of flash signals in reproductive isolation.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract The larva of Perilestes attenuatus Selys, 1886 is described and illustrated based on exuviae of reared larvae and last- instar larvae collected in Manaus, Amazonas state, Brazil. The larva of P. attenuatus can be distinguished from that of P. fragilis, the only other species of which the larva has been described, by the presence of a pair of tubercles on the ligula and by the arrangement of the spines and hooks on the abdominal segments. Key words: aquatic insects, Damselfly, Insecta, taxonomy, Zygoptera Resumo A larva de Perilestes attenuatus Selys, 1886 é descrita e ilustrada a partir de exúvias de larvas criadas e de larvas de último estádio coletadas em Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil. A larva de P. attenuatus pode ser diferenciada da larva de P. fragilis, a única espécie que já possuía a larva descrita, pela presença do par de tubérculos na lígula e pela disposição dos espinhos e ganchos nos segmentos abdominais. Palavras-chave: insetos aquáticos, Libélula, Insecta, taxonomia, Zygoptera Introduction Perilestidae is a small family that occurs predominantly in the Neotropical region, where it is represented by 18 species. The family is also recorded in tropical Africa, where it is represented by a monotypic endemic genus and species: Nubiolestes diotima (Schmidt, 1943), restricted to Cameroon (Dijkstra & Vick 2004).

Jarzembowskia,c∗ aState Key Laboratory of Palaeobiology and Stratigraphy, Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing, PR China; bDepartment of Earth Sciences, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Chin; cDepartment of Earth Sciences, The Natural History Museum, London, UK Odonatans are rare as amber inclusions, but quite diverse in Cretaceous Burmese amber. In the past two years, over 20 new species have been found by the present authors after studying over 250 odonatans from 300,000 amber inclusions. Most of them have now been published, and here we provide a brief review. Three suborders of crown Odonata have been recorded, including the damselfly families or superfami- lies Platycnemididae, Platystictidae, Perilestidae, Hemiphlebiidae, Coenagrionoidea, Pseudostigmatoidea, Mesomegaloprepidae and Dysagrionidae, plus the dragonfly families Lindeniidae, Gomphaeschnidae and Burmaeshnidae, and the damsel-dragonfly family Burmaphlebiidae. Keywords: Anisoptera; Anisozygoptera; Zygoptera; Cretaceous; Burmese amber; dragonfly Introduction Dragonflies have an excellent fossil record on account of their large size and association with water-laid geological sedimentary deposits. Moreover, the ready preservation of the com- plex wing venation provides systematically useful features including the appearance of the pterostigma, nodus and arculus. Dragonflies sensu lato – in the broad, palaeontological sense or odonatopterans – date back to the earliest-known, late Palaeozoic radiation of the ptery- gotes (winged insects) in the mid-Carboniferous, circa 320 million years ago. The Carboniferous geropterans resemble some other contemporary insects (palaeodictyopteroids) that did not habitually fold their wings.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this special issue celebrating the Brazilian researcher Dr. Angelo Barbosa Monteiro Machado’s 80th birthday, I present a very short biographical overview focused on his prolific career as odonatologist. The doctor, professor, children’s book writer, conservationist, comedian, neuroanatomist, and eventually odonatologist Professor Angelo has published more than 110 papers, of which 79 are on dragonflies. He erected 97 new names, an impressive number for a small and relatively well-known order of insects. Here are presented annotated checklists of his publications on dragonflies (from 1953 to Sep- tember of 2015), and nomina, as well as few comments of his impact on Neotropical odonatology as a whole.

    Garrison & von Ellenrieder—New World Odonata List (NWOL) A SYNONYMIC LIST OF THE NEW WORLD ODONATA Revised version of 18 February 2016 Rosser Garrison1 & Natalia von Ellenrieder2 Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch, California Department of Food & Agriculture 3294 Meadowview Road, Sacramento, CA 95832-1448, USA tel. (916) 262-1167, fax (916) 262-1190 1 <[email protected]> 2 <[email protected]> Introduction A synonymic list of the New World Odonata was published as vol. 3(2) of Argia on 15 June 1991 (digital scan available at Odonata Central; <www.odonatacentral.org/> under "Resources" tabs). Many nomenclatorial changes and synonymies have taken place since that list was published. This revised listing of the synonymic list (hereafter referred to as NWOL) includes additions and changes up through February 2016 and represents a complete listing for all described Odonata of North, Middle, and South America. Generic synonyms and nomina nuda are included when their identity is known (often through examination of labeled specimens). We do not recognize subgenera, but mention their names in the Comments section after the list. Species misidentifications are not included. The following have been important catalog sources for this work: Kirby, W.F. 1890. A synonymic catalogue of Neuroptera Odonata, or dragonflies.

  • Timola SYNONYMIC LIST of the NEW WORLD ODONATA Introduction
    Garrison & von Ellenrieder—New World Odonata List (NWOL) timolA SYNONYMIC LIST OF THE NEW WORLD ODONATA Revised version of 19 Jauary 2016 Rosser Garrison1 & Natalia von Ellenrieder2 Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch, California Department of Food & Agriculture 3294 Meadowview Road, Sacramento, CA 95832-1448, USA tel. (916) 262-1167, fax (916) 262-1190 1 <[email protected]> 2 <[email protected]> Introduction A synonymic list of the New World Odonata was published as vol. 3(2) of Argia on 15 June 1991 (digital scan available at Odonata Central; <www.odonatacentral.org/> under "Resources" tabs). Many nomenclatorial changes and synonymies have taken place since that list was published. This revised listing of the synonymic list (hereafter referred to as NWOL) includes additions and changes up through February 2014 and represents a complete listing for all described Odonata of North, Middle, and South America. Generic synonyms and nomina nuda are included when their identity is known (often through examination of labeled specimens). We do not recognize subgenera, but mention their names in the Comments section after the list. Species misidentifications are not included. The following have been important catalog sources for this work: Kirby, W.F. 1890. A synonymic catalogue of Neuroptera Odonata, or dragonflies. Gurney and Jackson, London, ix + 202 pp. Bridges, Charles A. 1994. Catalogue of the family-group, genus-group and species group names of the Odonata of the world (third edition). Privately published by the author (now deceased). Both of these works and several other important references and monographs on Odonata can be found at the Biodiversity Heritage Library website (http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/).
