Stonedahl and John D. Lattin ABSTRACT Seven genera and 26 species of Corixidae are reported from Oregon and Washington.The literature of the family isreviewed,and diagnostic keys for the identification of genera and species aregiven.Diagnoses, habitat informa- tion,illustrations of morphologicalstructures,and distribution maps are provided for all species. Introduction The Corixidae is the largest family of aquatic Herniptera. It is com- prised of approximately 30 genera distributed among six subfamilies, and contains well over 500 species oh a worldwide basis. They are familiar insects in most aquatic habitats, and in general are adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions. The high dispersal potential of this group allows the insects to use many unstable and temporary habitats. Corixids, or water boatmen, are strong and agile swimmers; their large, flattened, oarlike hind legs are well adapted for underwater locomotion. Although classified as fully aquatic insects, water boatmen must come to the surface periodically to replenish

Although these medically important Rickettsia are often transmitted via haematophagous arthropods, other Rickettsia, such as those in the Torix group, appear to reside exclusively in invertebrates and protists with no secondary vertebrate host. Importantly, little is known about the diversity or host range of Torix group Rickettsia.

  • The Corixidae (Hemiptera) of Oklahoma KURT F
    BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES 71 The Corixidae (Hemiptera) of Oklahoma KURT F. SCHAEFER, Panhandle State Colle.e, Goodwell The Corixidae or water boatman family is a commonly collected fam­ ily taken in a variety of aquatic habitats and frequently at lights at night or on shiny surfaces during the day. Hungerford's 1948 monograph on the world corixids is an important contribution, essential to a serious collector. My paper is an attempt to make the identification of state fonns easier and to supply descriptions and distribution data for the corixids of the state. Schaefer and Drew (1964) reported 18 species and Ewing (1964) added one for the state. Five addi­ tional species are included because information of their known ranges in­ dicates that they will probably be found in Oklahoma when more collecting is done. Each pair of legs is modified for a different function. The anterior pair is short with the tenninal segment (pala) often more or less spoon­ shaped and fringed with bristles for food gathering. Both adults and nymphs feed mainly on algae and protozoa, obtained from bottom ooze (Usinger, 1956). The middle pair of legs, used for anchorage and support, is long and slender, tenninating with two long claws. The hind pair, for swimming, is stouter, laterally flattened and fringed with hairs. The principal dimorphic structures used as key characters are as fol­ lows: males, usually smaller, with vertex of the head otten more produced and frons concavely depressed. Fonn and chaetotaxy of the male palae, front tarsi, are much used characters. The female abdomen is bilaterally symmetrical, while the asymmetry of male may be either to the right (dextral) or left (stnistral).

  • Crossness Sewage Treatment Works Nature Reserve & Southern Marsh Aquatic Invertebrate Survey
    Commissioned by Thames Water Utilities Limited Clearwater Court Vastern Road Reading RG1 8DB CROSSNESS SEWAGE TREATMENT WORKS NATURE RESERVE & SOUTHERN MARSH AQUATIC INVERTEBRATE SURVEY Report number: CPA18054 JULY 2019 Prepared by Colin Plant Associates (UK) Consultant Entomologists 30a Alexandra Rd London N8 0PP 1 1 INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND AND METHODOLOGY 1.1 Introduction and background 1.1.1 On 30th May 2018 Colin Plant Associates (UK) were commissioned by Biodiversity Team Manager, Karen Sutton on behalf of Thames Water Utilities Ltd. to undertake aquatic invertebrate sampling at Crossness Sewage Treatment Works on Erith Marshes, Kent. This survey was to mirror the locations and methodology of a previous survey undertaken during autumn 2016 and spring 2017. Colin Plant Associates also undertook the aquatic invertebrate sampling of this previous survey. 1.1.2 The 2016-17 aquatic survey was commissioned with the primary objective of establishing a baseline aquatic invertebrate species inventory and to determine the quality of the aquatic habitats present across both the Nature Reserve and Southern Marsh areas of the Crossness Sewage Treatment Works. The surveyors were asked to sample at twenty-four, pre-selected sample station locations, twelve in each area. Aquatic Coleoptera and Heteroptera (beetles and true bugs) were selected as target groups. A report of the previous survey was submitted in Sept 2017 (Plant 2017). 1.1.3 During December 2017 a large-scale pollution event took place and untreated sewage escaped into a section of the Crossness Nature Reserve. The primary point of egress was Nature Reserve Sample Station 1 (NR1) though because of the connectivity of much of the waterbody network on the marsh other areas were affected.

  • Position Specificity in the Genus Coreomyces (Laboulbeniomycetes, Ascomycota)
    VOLUME 1 JUNE 2018 Fungal Systematics and Evolution PAGES 217–228 doi.org/10.3114/fuse.2018.01.09 Position specificity in the genus Coreomyces (Laboulbeniomycetes, Ascomycota) H. Sundberg1*, Å.

We detected Coreomyces thalli in five different DNA positions on the hosts. Thalli from the various positions grouped in four distinct clusters in the resulting gene trees, distinctly Fungi so in the ITS and LSU of the nuclear ribosomal DNA, less so in the SSU of the nuclear ribosomal DNA and the mitochondrial host-specificity ribosomal DNA. Thalli from the left side of abdomen grouped in a single cluster, and so did thalli from the ventral right side. insect Thalli in the mid-ventral position turned out to be a mix of three clades, while thalli growing dorsally grouped with thalli from phylogeny the left and right abdominal clades. The mid-ventral and dorsal positions were found in male hosts only. The position on the left hemelytron was shared by members from two sister clades. Statistical analyses demonstrate a significant positive correlation between clade and position on the host, but also a weak correlation between host sex and clade membership. These results indicate that sex-of-host specificity may be a non-existent extreme in a continuum, where instead weak preferences for one host sex may turn out to be frequent.
