    PROCEEDINGS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM issued n^ik d cil^l ^y ^ SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 100 Washington: 1950 No. 3259 THE NEARCTIC SPECIES OF GASTERUPTIIDAE (HYMENOPTERA) By Henry Townes The Hymenoptera treated herein have previously been included in the family Evaniidae or in the separate families Gasteruptiidae ^ and Aulacidae. It is now generally agreed that they have little in common with the Evaniidae and that the main character by which they were formerly associated, the high attachment of the abdomen to the thorax, has been acquired independently in the two groups. Subsequent to their taxonomic separation from the Evaniidae, these insects were segregated as the families Aulacidae and Gasteruptiidae. Close similarity in fundamental structm-e suggests that they are better treated as two subfamilies of a single family. Comparing members of the weU-known genus Gasterwption with the Aulacinae, one finds striking differences in body form and in venation, but there are also many points of structural agreement. When the primitive, less well known Gasteruptiinae of the Australian Region (Hyptiogaster, etc.) are compared with the Aulacinae, many of the differences of body form and venation apparent when only Gasteruption is used disappear. Those remaining are tabulated in the key to subfamilies below. Struc- tural peculiarities that run through the whole family in its broader limitation, but that are often overlooked, are the partial to complete fusion of the first two abdominal tergites and the fact that the antenna has 13 segments in the male and 14 in the female. At present the family • This name is usually spelled Gasteruptlonidae, but the stem of the type generic name (Oasteruption) is Qasterapti-, which with the addition of -idae results in Gasteruptiidae.

  • Taking the Lead: Women and the White Mountains
    Taking the Lead: Women and the White Mountains museum of the white mountains | plymouth state university CLOUDS ON WHITEFACE So lovingly the clouds caress his head,— The mountain-monarch; he, severe and hard, With white face set like flint horizon-ward; They weaving softest fleece of gold and red, And gossamer of airiest silver thread, To wrap his form, wind-beaten, thunder-scarred. They linger tenderly, and fain would stay, Since he, earth-rooted, may not float away. He upward looks, but moves not; wears their hues; Draws them unto himself; their beauty shares; And sometimes his own semblance seems to lose, His grandeur and their grace so interfuse; And when his angels leave him unawares, A sullen rock, his brow to heaven he bares.

The male genital­ ia of these species are described. The group is diagnosed and two keys are given, one based on non-genitalic characters, and the other based on features of the male genitalia. For each of the species duodecimguttata, oregona, and depressula the following are presented: synonymy, analy­ sis of geographic variation in size, coloration, color pattern of elytra, and distribution. Descrip­ tions of the subspecies of oregona and depressula are given. Hybridization between the species duodecimguttata and oregona is examined quantitatively by means of the hybrid index method and the data are presented in the form of histograms. The zone of hybridization lies on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain System from Colorado to the Northwest Territories, and is about 50 miles wide in Alberta but is nearly 1,000 miles wide in northern Canada.

    The Mowglis Call 2020 It is with deep and abiding gratitude that I offer huge thanks to the departing Editor-in-Chief of The Call, Tomo Nishino, Den of ‘84, Mowglis Parent, and incoming President of the Holt-Elwell Memorial Foundation. Tomo has spent bottomless hours over many months—for several years— leading the effort of coordinating The Call. What has emerged is a reliable and rich annual collection of stories, news, Mowglis memories, images, and updates. Thanks to his dedication, in guiding this stellar team, we are all kept close to the places, the people, and the mission of Mowglis.
