  • The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: Taxonomy and Distribution. Progress Report for 2009 Surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D
    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 26 (2010): 1-36 1 The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: taxonomy and distribution. Progress Report for 2009 surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D student at the Department of Entomology, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China. Email: [email protected] Introduction Three families in the superfamily Calopterygoidea occur in China, viz. the Calo- pterygidae, Chlorocyphidae and Euphaeidae. They include numerous species that are distributed widely across South China, mainly in streams and upland running waters at moderate altitudes. To date, our knowledge of Chinese spe- cies has remained inadequate: the taxonomy of some genera is unresolved and no attempt has been made to map the distribution of the various species and genera. This project is therefore aimed at providing taxonomic (including on larval morphology), biological, and distributional information on the super- family in South China. In 2009, two series of surveys were conducted to Southwest China-Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces. The two provinces are characterized by karst limestone arranged in steep hills and intermontane basins. The climate is warm and the weather is frequently cloudy and rainy all year. This area is usually regarded as one of biodiversity “hotspot” in China (Xu & Wilkes, 2004). Many interesting species are recorded, the checklist and photos of these sur- veys are reported here. And the progress of the research on the superfamily Calopterygoidea is appended. Methods Odonata were recorded by the specimens collected and identified from pho- tographs. The working team includes only four people, the surveys to South- west China were completed by the author and the photographer, Mr.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Insects and Other Arthropods from Kwajalein Atoll (Marshall Islands)
    Vol. XXI, No. 2, December, 1972 271 Insects and other Arthropods from Kwajalein Atoll (Marshall Islands) Bernard B. Sugerman U. S. ARMY, HAWAII Kwajalein Atoll is located in the Ralik (Sunset or Western) Chain of the Marshall Islands in the West Central Pacific Ocean. It is 2100 nautical miles southwest of San Francisco. Lying less than 700 miles north of the Equator, Kwajalein is in the latitude of Panama and the southern Philippines; it is in the longitude of New Zealand, 2300 miles south, and the Kamchatka Peninsula, USSR, 2600 miles north. Kwajalein Atoll is of coral reef formation in the shape of a crescent loop enclosing a lagoon. Situated on the reef are approximately 100 small islands, with a total land area of only 5.6 square miles (3584 acres). The three largest islets, Kwajalein (1.2 square miles), Roi-Namur and Ebadon, at the extremities of the Atoll, account for nearly half the total land area. While the typical size of the remaining isles may be about 140 by 225 m, the smallest islands are no more than sand cays that merely break the water's surface at high tide. The lagoon enclosed by the reef is the world's largest lagoon, having a surface area of 902 square miles. The Atoll's longest dimension is 75 miles from Kwajalein to Ebadon, and its average width is about 15 miles. Kwajalein Islet at the Atoll's southern tip and Roi-Namur at its northern extremity are 50 miles apart. All islets are flat and few natural points exceed 15 feet above mean sea level; those which do are sand dunes.

A few other possible synonymies are suggested for future confirmation. A brief review of the earlier studies on Philippine Odonata is presented. Grouped according to the present understanding of the Philippine biogeographical regions, all major islands are briefly characterized and separate lists are given for 40 islands. The records are based onliterature data, and on ca 27 000 specimens in Roland 000 SMF Muller’s collection, ca 2 specimens in coll. Ris at and on some other smaller collections studied by the authors. INTRODUCTION While the second author made plans for a zoological expedition to the Philip- pines in 1985, Dr Bastiaan K i a u t a suggested him to take collecting of dragon- flies as one of the goals, because the knowledge of the Philippine Odonata fauna was very inadequate.

  • Field Guide to the Dragonflies of New Guinea
    Jaargang 17 Supplement, december 2015 Field Guide to the Brachytron ISSN 1386-3460 Brachytron Brachytron 17 supplement Field Guide to the dragonflies of New Guinea A.G. Orr & V.J. Kalkman 3-156. Brachytron , 2015. Field Guide to the dragonflies of New Guinea. dragonflies of This book is a companion to the ‘Field Guide to the damselflies of New Guinea’ published in 2013 by the same authors and covers the ‘true’ dragonflies, or Anisoptera. With it the reader can identify the approximately 175 species presently known from New Guinea, its satellite islands and the New Guinea Bismark Archipelago. It will doubtless stimulate people to explore the streams and standing waters of New Guinea and to appreciate the wonderful diversity of dragonflies and damselflies to be found there. Over 400 copies will be donated to universities throughout New Guinea. As well as introducing students and researchers to the beauty of dragonflies on their island, the guide provides a basis to study them and use them in biodiversity studies supporting the conservation of freshwater habitats. The guide contains nearly 250 colour drawings and over 300 line drawings by Albert Orr and 36 colour photographs taken in the field mostly by Stephen Richards. Many species included have never been depicted in colour before. This book is dedicated to the memory Jaargang 15 (2), januari 2013 of Henk van Mastrigt (1946-2015) who passed away in August 2015 as he was beginning the work of translating the book. Albert Orr’s interest in the insect fauna of New Guinea dates back to undergraduate days when he made two lengthy excursions in 1971 and 1973/4, collecting butterflies and dragonflies.

  • Odonata of the Cambodian Coastal Regions Revisited: Beginning of Dry Season in 2010
    International Dragonfly Fund - Report 40 (2011): 1-108 1 Odonata of the Cambodian coastal regions revisited: beginning of dry season in 2010 Oleg E. Kosterin* *Institute of Cytology & Genetics SB RAS, Acad. Lavrentyev ave. 10, Novo- sibirsk, 630090, Russia; Novosibirsk State University, Pirogova str. 2, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Results of the odonatological survey of the coastal SW regions of Cambodia on No- vember 28 - December 11, 2001, are presented, including field notes, enumeration of all records by locality, discussion of interesting specimens and their taxonomy and of seasonality aspects. Fifteen (14 named) species have been added to the known fauna of Cambodia: Aristocypha fenestrella (Rambur, 1842), Rhinagrion viridatum Fraser, 1938, Lestes elatus Hagen in Selys, 1862, L. platystylus Rambur, 1842, Aci- agrion tillyardi Laidlaw, 1919, Agriocnemis f. femina (Brauer, 1868), Archibasis viola Lieftinck, Ceriagrion calamineum Laidlaw, 1951, Mortonagrion aborense (Laidlaw, 1914), M. falcatum Lieftinck, 1934, Pseudagrion microcephalum (Rambur, 1842), 1948, Paragomphus capricornis (Förster, 1914), Hemicordulia undescr. spec., Macro- diplax cora (Brauer, 1867), Nannophya pygmaea Rambur, 1842, plus a provisionally identified Ceriagrion indochinense Asahina, 1976. The country list now achieves 106 named species (not counting Prodasineura verticalis sensu Asahina, 1983, C. indo- chinense and Hemicordulia sp.). Coeliccia megumii Asahina, 1984 is synonymised with C. kazukoae Asahina, 1984. The differences between Ceriagrion olivaceum Laid- law, 1914 and C. calamineum Lieftinck, 1951 are discussed. Introduction In April 2010, I studied the Cardamon foothills in SW Cambodia for their Odonata (Kosterin 2010). The photos of this trip are now available at http://asia-dragonfly.net and at my site at http://pisum.bionet.nsc.ru/kosterin/odonata/cambodia.htm.
