E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Although in “Fauna Sinica Insecta” 247 species of Phaneropterinae are recorded for China, there is not a single record of a species from the tribe Barbitistini. Herein, we newly record a small-sized and short-winged species of this tribe belonging to the genus Poecilimon (Fischer, 1853). We identified the species as Poecilimon intermedius (Fieber, 1853) which was collected in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region, China. The records of the interesting species extend its distributional range in Asia. Detailed citations, description and necessary illustrations are provided. Key words: Barbitistini, Poecilimon, China, new record of Phaneropterinae Introduction The tettigoniid subfamily Phaneropterinae is very rich in species in China. In the most recent review, over 247 spe- cies of this group were recorded in China, belonging to 47 genera from the five tribes Ducetiini, Elimaeini, Holo- chlorini, Mirollini and Phaneropterini (Kang et al. 2014). However, as an exception not any record and specimen of species from tribe Barbitistini was recorded from China. Species of the tribe Barbitistini are short-winged and mostly small-sized, and they are widely distributed in temperate forests, Taiga, and grassland in Western Eurasia. The tribe includes 14 valid genera and 282 species with 64 subspecies (Cigliano et al. 2019). Only a few species of Poecilimon Fischer extend into some countries of cen- tral Asia, and some species of Leptophyes Fieber and Isophya Brunner von Wattenwyl are only distributed in South Western Asia (mainly Turkey). The genus Poecilimon Fischer is one of the most species-rich genera of the Phaneropterinae. Currently it in- cludes 142 species with 40 subspecies, distributed from Europe to Central Asia. The species distributed most east- wards is P. intermedius (Fieber, 1853), a member of the Poecilimon ampliatus-group, which can easily be recog- nized by the red/dark midline of the pronotum (see Heller & Lehmann 2004; p.413 intermedius). P. intermedius is one of the few insect species known with obligate but diploid parthenogenetic reproduction (Lehmann et al. 2007; Lehmann et al. 2011). Males have never been found; some old records of males are considered as misidentifica- tions. However, a male may appear if the female loses one of her X-chromosomes in early embryonic development (Heller, personal communication). The auditory sensitivity was largely reduced in the parthenogenetic bushcricket females (Lehmann et al. 2007; Strauß et al. 2014), but hearing was clearly maintained (Lehmann 2012). P. inter- medius occurs in the Eastern European-West Asian xero-mesophytic steppe grasslands, which are probable natural habitat patches fragmented in the forest steppe zone (Kenyeres & Bauer 2008). Herein, we report for first time the tribe Barbitistini in temperate Betula platyphylla Sukaczev forest in Aletai area in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China, represented by the interesting species P. intermedius. Thus the distribution range of the tribe Barbitistini, the genus Poecilimon and the species P. intermedius extends from West Europe to northwestern area of Central East Asia. The specimens are deposited in the Collection of Institute of Zool- ogy, Chinese Academy of Sciences. 296 Accepted by D.

Distribution. Europe, East Russia, Kirgistan, Kazakhstan, China (Xinjiang). Discussion This is the first time that the tribe Barbitistini is recorded in China. Members of this tribe are difficult to identify to the genus or species level, especially for female specimens, due to large number of species and some unclear historical records. According to the female ovipositor, we judge that the specimens collected from Xinjiang belong to Poecilimon ampliatus species group with all species except one distributed in Eastern Europe and Turkey. Usu- ally it is better to add male for robust identification to species, however, one species P. intermedius of the group is obligately parthenogenetic with a huge range up to Siberia and Kirgistan (Bey-Bienko 1954). For the species P. intermedius (Fieber), the previous male records are probably due to misidentification (Heller & Lehmann 2004). Then for the time being, we identify Xinjiang female specimens

The relationships within the Poecilimon ornatus group (Orthoptera: Phaneropterinae) based on the cytochrome c oxidase I gene. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 68: 7-13. The genus Poecilimon includes 142 species divided into 18 groups. It is distributed throughout the Palaearctic area. One of the groups is the Poecilimon ornatus group, in which many closely related taxa have been identified (13 species). Although several searches have been carried out, the phylogeny and systematics of P. ornatus are only partly resolved. The most dispersed taxon within the group is Poecilimon affinis, having numerous subspecies. Species from the P. ornatus group have been described mainly based on morphological characteristics, as well as type of song. The aim of this study is to clarify the relationships between species from the P. ornatus group by comparing partial sequences of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) mitochondrial gene. The analyses were carried out on 84 specimens from 23 taxa. Bush-crickets from the P. ornatus group are monophyletic, in contrast to taxa within the P. affinis complex. Not all of the previously described divisions of the group based on morphology, bioacoustics, distribution, and ecology were confirmed. Key words: bush-crickets, phylogeny, polymorphism, mitochondrial DNA.

Date: December 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary Many orthopterans are associated with large scale destruction of crops, rangeland and pastures. Plangia graminea (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) is considered a minor sporadic pest in vineyards of the Western Cape Province, South Africa, and was the focus of this study. In the past few seasons (since 2012) P. graminea appeared to have caused a substantial amount of damage leading to great concern among the wine farmers of the Western Cape Province. Very little was known about the biology and ecology of this species, and no monitoring method was available for this pest. The overall aim of the present study was, therefore, to investigate the biology and ecology of P. graminea in vineyards of the Western Cape to contribute knowledge towards the formulation of a sustainable integrated pest management program, as well as to establish an appropriate monitoring system.

  • Phylogeny of Ensifera (Hexapoda: Orthoptera) Using Three Ribosomal Loci, with Implications for the Evolution of Acoustic Communication
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 38 (2006) 510–530 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Phylogeny of Ensifera (Hexapoda: Orthoptera) using three ribosomal loci, with implications for the evolution of acoustic communication M.C. Jost a,*, K.L. Shaw b a Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, USA b Department of Biology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA Received 9 May 2005; revised 27 September 2005; accepted 4 October 2005 Available online 16 November 2005 Abstract Representatives of the Orthopteran suborder Ensifera (crickets, katydids, and related insects) are well known for acoustic signals pro- duced in the contexts of courtship and mate recognition. We present a phylogenetic estimate of Ensifera for a sample of 51 taxonomically diverse exemplars, using sequences from 18S, 28S, and 16S rRNA. The results support a monophyletic Ensifera, monophyly of most ensiferan families, and the superfamily Gryllacridoidea which would include Stenopelmatidae, Anostostomatidae, Gryllacrididae, and Lezina. Schizodactylidae was recovered as the sister lineage to Grylloidea, and both Rhaphidophoridae and Tettigoniidae were found to be more closely related to Grylloidea than has been suggested by prior studies. The ambidextrously stridulating haglid Cyphoderris was found to be basal (or sister) to a clade that contains both Grylloidea and Tettigoniidae. Tree comparison tests with the concatenated molecular data found our phylogeny to be significantly better at explaining our data than three recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological characters. A high degree of conflict exists between the molecular and morphological data, possibly indicating that much homoplasy is present in Ensifera, particularly in acoustic structures. In contrast to prior evolutionary hypotheses based on most parsi- monious ancestral state reconstructions, we propose that tegminal stridulation and tibial tympana are ancestral to Ensifera and were lost multiple times, especially within the Gryllidae.

S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

  • Evolution Isolierter Teilpopulationen Der Laubholz-Säbelschrecke Laubholz-Säbelschrecke Der Teilpopulationen Isolierter Evolution
    Göttingen Centre for Biodiversity eographisch isolierte Populationen mit geringer Individuendichte sind in der and Ecology GEvolutionsbiologie von zentraler Bedeutung. Während solche Populationen in neuerer Zeit meist nur mit anthropogen induzierten Aussterbeprozessen in Zu- Biodiversity and Ecology Series, A sammenhang gebracht werden, sind sie andererseits auch der Ausgangspunkt allopatrischer Speziation. Band 3 Durch die wahrscheinlich anthropogen begünstigte Ansiedlung der Rotbuche in Mitteleuropa wurde der Lebensraum der flugunfähigen Laubholz-Säbelschrecke Barbitistes serricauda (Fabricius 1798) fragmentiert. Die Rotbuche kann von Christian Richter dieser baumbewohnenden Laubheuschrecke nicht als Nahrungspflanze verwertet werden. Evolution isolierter B. serricauda kommt überwiegend in lokal abgrenzbaren Subpopulationen mit Teilpopulationen der einer geringen Individuenzahl vor. Tiere dieser Art weisen eine geringe Tendenz zur Dispersion auf; Individuen verteilen sich in der Regel auf ein bis zwei als Laubholz-Säbelschrecke Nahrungsquellen geeignete Pflanzen.

Phonochorion Uvarov (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) is a little known genus consisting of three species: Ph. satunini, Ph. artvinensis and Ph. uvarovi. The objective of this study is to conduct a thorough distributional, taxonomic and system- atic revision of the genus Phonochorion using both bioacustic and external morphological characters. Field surveys indicate that the genus is distributed from the Trabzon region of Turkey to the Khulo province of Georgia however the exact limit of the eastern dis- tribution of the genus remains unknown. Phonochorion species occur only on the northern slopes of the East Black Sea and Lesser Caucasus Mountains. The Coruh Valley, which seprates the East Black Sea and Lesser Caucasus Mountain ranges, seems to be an effective physical and climatic barrier and determines the distribution of these species. Ph. uvarovi can clearly be distinguished from Ph. satunini and Ph. artvinensis by the calling songs of males and external morphological characters. Ph. artvinensis and Ph. satunini differ in several taxonomic characters but the males have virtually identical calling songs.
