  • Occurrence of Amphibious Bugs, Water Bugs and Ground Bugs in The
    Occurrenceof amphibiousbugs, water bugs and ground bugs in the catchmentarea of the Criqul Albo Crigul Negru and Crigul Repederivers Attila Kecskis Abstract Researchcarried out so far on this subjectdemonstrates the presenceof twenty bug speciesin the catchmentarea of the three Crig rivers. Due to our current studieswe may add nineteennew speciesto the bug fauna of the region and confirm the existenceof eighteenpreviously mentionedspecies. The thirty-sevenspecies found by us are representedby 1048 collectedsamples belongingto the following taxonomiccategories/orders: Hydrocorisae:539 samplesof thi-rteenspecies Amphibiocorisae:398 samplesof thirteenspecies Saldidae:111 samples of elevenspecies In this work we shall describespecies living in rivers and we shall try to give a proper explanation to the frequency or infrequency of certain species.Our most important conclusionreferring to the distribution of different speciesis that their diversity is much higher for natural reaches,the water-bugsare more numerousand representedby more speciesin stagnantwaters, and the diversity of the amphibious bugs is the highest on middle and lower reaches.The greatestvariety of ground bug speciesare to be found on upper reachesor stony river banks. Thesespecies are not threatenedby extinction,but their existenceis closelyconnected with the natural conditions of rivers. They don't appear sensitive to industrial water pollution,as demonstratedby the high numberof samplescollected in pollutedwater near the city of Petru Groza. Keywords: bugs,Criq rivers' valleys. 275 Introduction The representativesof thesebug groups are to be found in every type of water from the sub-alpineto the sea-zone.Some speciesmay be presentin such a high number that they are damaging to fisheries. Other speciesare consideredbio-indicators. However numerousthey are, data referring to their occurrencein Romania are very few and above all faunistic.There are no referencesto the quality of the living places;only the namesof the localitiesor countiesare mentioned.

  • A Review of the Hemiptera of Great Britain: the Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Bugs
    Natural England Commissioned Report NECR188 A review of the Hemiptera of Great Britain: The Aquatic and Semi-aquatic Bugs Dipsocoromorpha, Gerromorpha, Leptopodomorpha & Nepomorpha Species Status No.24 First published 20 November 2015 www.gov.uk/natural -england Foreword Natural England commission a range of reports from external contractors to provide evidence and advice to assist us in delivering our duties. The views in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of Natural England. Background Making good decisions to conserve species should primarily be based upon an objective process of determining the degree of threat to the survival of a species. The recognised international approach to undertaking this is by assigning the species to one of the IUCN threat categories. This report was commissioned to update the national status of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs using IUCN methodology for assessing threat. It covers all species of aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs (Heteroptera) in Great Britain, identifying those that are rare and/or under threat as well as non-threatened and non-native species. Reviews for other invertebrate groups will follow. Natural England Project Manager - Jon Webb, [email protected] Contractor - A.A. Cook (author) Keywords - invertebrates, red list, IUCN, status reviews, Heteroptera, aquatic bugs, shore bugs, IUCN threat categories, GB rarity status Further information This report can be downloaded from the Natural England website: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/natural-england.

The contents of each chapter generally reflect the special interests of the contributors.

Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution RAS, Leninsky pr. 33, Moscow, 119071, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Received 4 March 2021 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 26 March 2021 │ Published online 4 April 2021. Abstract The article summarizes the data on bugs in the treeless areas of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (tundra zone and the elfin wood subzone). Taking into account the available literary sources, as well as new materials (obtained in 2010s), 62 species of Heteroptera from 41 genera and 12 families are known here; 18 species recorded for these landscapes for the first time and 11 — for the Chukotka AO as a whole. There are: Saldula fucicola (J. Sahlberg, 1970) (Saldidae), Acompocoris brevirostris Kerzhner, 1979 (Anthocoridae); Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür, 1843), Leptopterna ferrugata (Linnaeus, 1758), Teratocoris saundersi Douglas et Scott, 1869, Plagiognathus obscuriceps (Stål, 1858), Plagiognathus pini Vinokurov, 1978, Psallus anticus (Reuter, 1876) (Miridae); Kleidocerys resedae (Panzer, 1797) (Lygaeidae); Aelia frigida Kiritshenko, 1926, Rhacognathus punctatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Pentatomidae). The number of known Heteroptera species for the tundra region of Chukotka increased from 39 to 51; for the elfin wood subzone — from 10 to 32 species. Some distribution features of bug species within zonal and climatic gradients of Chukotka are revealed.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Zemacrosaldula, new genus, is described with Salda australis White, 1876, as type species, resulting in the following new combination Zemacrosaldula australis (White, 1876). Three new species are described: Zemacrosaldula kapekape new species, Z. whakarunga new species, Z. pangare new species. A revision of the taxonomy of all taxa is presented. Species are keyed. Morphological descriptions are provided together with illustrations emphasising the most significant diagnostic features of external morphology and male genitalia. Information is given on synonymy, type specimens, material exam- ined, geographic distribution and biology. Key words: shore bugs, revision, systematics, biodiversity Introduction Relatively little is known about the shore bugs (Hemiptera: Saldidae) of New Zealand. Seven endemic species so far placed in the genus Saldula Van Duzee, 1914, have been described from this country (Larivière & Larochelle 2004; 2014). No taxonomic revision or identification key has ever been published for this fauna. In addition to original species descriptions, the most useful contributions to the taxonomy and general understanding of the New Zealand Saldidae have been made by Cobben (1961; 1980a), Polhemus (1985a), and Schuh & Polhemus (2009).
