“A Synonymic Catalog of the Neotropical Crabronidae and Sphecidae” (Amarante, 2002) Are Corrected Volume 45(1):1-18, 2005 ADDENDUM AND CORRECTIONS TO A SYNONYMIC CATALOG OF NEOTROPICAL CRABRONIDAE AND SPHECIDAE SÉRVIO TÚLIO PIRES AMARANTE1 ABSTRACT Errors and omissions found in “A synonymic catalog of the Neotropical Crabronidae and Sphecidae” (Amarante, 2002) are corrected. Substitute names for junior homonyms are proposed, Cerceris cisplatina new name for Cerceris dichroa Brethes, 1909 non Dalla Torre, 1890, and Mimesa modesta mallochi new name for Mimesa modesta reticulata (Malloch, 1933) non Cameron, 1902. Statitics for the taxa are updated. KEYWORDS: Sphecidae, Crabronidae, Neotropical, catalog, new name, nomenclature, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION New names Since the publication of my Catalog of Neotropical Cerceris cisplatina Amarante, new name for Crabronidae and Sphecidae” (Amarante, 2002), I have Cerceris dichroa Brèthes, 1909:65, primary junior discovered with the help of colleagues errors and homonym of Cerceris dichroa Dalla Torre, 1890:199, omissions. This paper rectifies these problems in Errata now in Eucerceris. section. I have proposed two substitute names for Mimesa modesta mallochi Amarante, new name for secondary homonyms, and provided new catalog lists of Mimesa modesta reticulata (Malloch, 1933:26) [as Psen species for the genera Crossocerus and Rhopalum. Leclercq (Mimumesa) modestus reticulatus], primary junior (2000, 2002) added many new species in these two genera homonym of Psen reticulatus Cameron, 1902. making new lists desirable. He also reorganized their subgeneric concepts. Other recent authors have added more new species to the Neotropical fauna. Some of these Dating were missed by me, others appeared after my catalog was in press. These names are listed in my Addendum. I also Publication dates for papers that appeared update the statistics for the taxa provided in the catalog. in Revta.

  • The Diversity of Insects Visiting Flowers of Saw Palmetto (Arecaceae)
    Deyrup & Deyrup: Insect Visitors of Saw Palmetto Flowers 711 THE DIVERSITY OF INSECTS VISITING FLOWERS OF SAW PALMETTO (ARECACEAE) MARK DEYRUP1,* AND LEIF DEYRUP2 1Archbold Biological Station, 123 Main Drive, Venus, FL 33960 2Univ. of the Cumberlands, Williamsburg, KY 40769 *Corresponding author; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A survey of insect visitors on flowers ofSerenoa repens (saw palmetto) at a Florida site, the Archbold Biological Station, showed how nectar and pollen resources of a plant species can contribute to taxonomic diversity and ecological complexity. A list of 311 species of flower visitors was dominated by Hymenoptera (121 spp.), Diptera (117 spp.), and Coleoptera (52 spp.). Of 228 species whose diets are known, 158 are predators, 47 are phytophagous, and 44 are decomposers. Many species that visited S. repens flowers also visited flowers of other species at the Archbold Biological Station. The total number of known insect-flower relation- ships that include S. repens is 2,029. There is no evidence of oligolectic species that are de- pendent on saw palmetto flowers. This study further emphasizes the ecological importance and conservation value of S. repens. Key Words: pollination, flower visitor webs, pollinator diversity, floral resources, saw pal- metto, Serenoa repens RESUMEN Un estudio sobre los insectos que visitan las flores de Serenoa repens (palma enana ameri- cana o palmito de sierra) en un sitio de la Florida, la Estación Biológica Archbold, mostró cómo los recursos de néctar y polen de una especie vegetal puede contribuir a la diversidad taxonómica y complejidad ecológica.

  • A Review of Sampling and Monitoring Methods for Beneficial Arthropods
    insects Review A Review of Sampling and Monitoring Methods for Beneficial Arthropods in Agroecosystems Kenneth W. McCravy Department of Biological Sciences, Western Illinois University, 1 University Circle, Macomb, IL 61455, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-309-298-2160 Received: 12 September 2018; Accepted: 19 November 2018; Published: 23 November 2018 Abstract: Beneficial arthropods provide many important ecosystem services. In agroecosystems, pollination and control of crop pests provide benefits worth billions of dollars annually. Effective sampling and monitoring of these beneficial arthropods is essential for ensuring their short- and long-term viability and effectiveness. There are numerous methods available for sampling beneficial arthropods in a variety of habitats, and these methods can vary in efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper I review active and passive sampling methods for non-Apis bees and arthropod natural enemies of agricultural pests, including methods for sampling flying insects, arthropods on vegetation and in soil and litter environments, and estimation of predation and parasitism rates. Sample sizes, lethal sampling, and the potential usefulness of bycatch are also discussed. Keywords: sampling methodology; bee monitoring; beneficial arthropods; natural enemy monitoring; vane traps; Malaise traps; bowl traps; pitfall traps; insect netting; epigeic arthropod sampling 1. Introduction To sustainably use the Earth’s resources for our benefit, it is essential that we understand the ecology of human-altered systems and the organisms that inhabit them. Agroecosystems include agricultural activities plus living and nonliving components that interact with these activities in a variety of ways. Beneficial arthropods, such as pollinators of crops and natural enemies of arthropod pests and weeds, play important roles in the economic and ecological success of agroecosystems.

Spheciformes Wasps (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Here we present a species list of spheciformes wasps of the families Ampulicidae, Sphecidae and Crabronidae, registered in west and southwest of the Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. The surveys were conducted in 22 sampling points, with emphasis on Serra da Bodoquena region, covering the biomes: Cerrado, Atlantic Forest and Chaco. We recorded 506 individuals distributed in 47 genera and 109 species. Trypoxylon Latreille was the most diverse genus with 155 individuals collected and 12 morphospecies, being the only genus sampled in all methodologies. Eremnophila binodis (Fabricius, 1798) was the most abundant species recorded from these wasps with 35 individuals collected. This list adds 83 new records to this wasp’s distribution in the state, expanding to 139 species of wasps spheciformes known to the state. KEYWORDS. Crabronidae, Neotropical Region, solitary wasps, Sphecidae, Biota-MS Program. RESUMO. Apresentamos aqui uma lista de espécies de vespas esfeciformes das famílias Ampulicidae, Sphecidae e Crabronidae registradas para o oeste e sudoeste do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul em inventários recentes realizados em 22 pontos amostrais, com principal ênfase na Serra da Bodoquena, contemplando os principais biomas do estado como o Cerrado, a Mata Atlântica e o Chaco Brasileiro.

St::ttns of 15 Antioch Insects Listed in Notice of 75 Review by the U.S. Fish "l.nd Wildlife Service INTRODUCTION The sand dune formation east of Antioch, Contra Costa County, California, comprised the largest riverine dune system in California. Biogeographically, this formation was unique because it supported a northern extension of plants and animals of desert, rather than coastal, affinities. Geologists believe that the dunes were relicts of the most recent glaciation of the Sierra Nevada, probably originating 10,000 to 25,000 years ago, with the sand derived from the supratidal floodplain of the combined Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. The ice age climate in the area is thought to have been cold but arid. Presumably summertime winds sweeping through the Carquinez Strait across the glacial-age floodplains would have picked up the fine-grained sand and redeposited it to the east and southeast, thus creating the dune fields of eastern Contra Costa County.

  • Checklist of the Spheciform Wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia
    Checklist of the Spheciform Wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia Chris Ratzlaff Spencer Entomological Collection, Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC, Vancouver, BC This checklist is a modified version of: Ratzlaff, C.R. 2015. Checklist of the spheciform wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia. Journal of the Entomological Society of British Columbia 112:19-46 (available at http://journal.entsocbc.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/894/951). Photographs for almost all species are online in the Spencer Entomological Collection gallery (http://www.biodiversity.ubc.ca/entomology/). There are nine subfamilies of spheciform wasps in recorded from British Columbia, represented by 64 genera and 280 species. The majority of these are Crabronidae, with 241 species in 55 genera and five subfamilies. Sphecidae is represented by four subfamilies, with 39 species in nine genera. The following descriptions are general summaries for each of the subfamilies and include nesting habits and provisioning information. The Subfamilies of Crabronidae Astatinae !Three genera and 16 species of astatine wasps are found in British Columbia. All species of Astata, Diploplectron, and Dryudella are groundnesting and provision their nests with heteropterans (Bohart and Menke 1976). Males of Astata and Dryudella possess holoptic eyes and are often seen perching on sticks or rocks. Bembicinae Nineteen genera and 47 species of bembicine wasps are found in British Columbia. All species are groundnesting and most prefer habitats with sand or sandy soil, hence the common name of “sand wasps”. Four genera, Bembix, Microbembex, Steniolia and Stictiella, have been recorded nesting in aggregations (Bohart and Horning, Jr. 1971; Bohart and Gillaspy 1985).
