The sting of the Aculeata or stinging wasps is a modifed ovipositor; its function (killing or paralyzing prey, defense against predators) and the associated anatomical changes are apomorphic for Aculeata. The change in the purpose of the ovipositor/sting from being primarily an egg laying device to being primarily a weapon has resulted in modifcation of its handling that is supported by specifc morphological adaptations. Here, we focus on the sheaths of the sting (3rd valvulae = gonoplacs) in Aculeata, which do not penetrate and envenom the prey but are responsible for cleaning the ovipositor proper and protecting it from damage, identifcation of the substrate for stinging, and, in some taxa, contain glands that produce alarm pheromones. -
Gynandromorphism in Xylocopinae Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae): Description of Four New Cases
Zootaxa 3401: 37–42 (2012) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2012 · Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) Gynandromorphism in Xylocopinae Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae): description of four new cases MARIANO LUCIA, LEOPOLDO J. ALVAREZ & ALBERTO H. ABRAHAMOVICH División Entomología, Museo de La Plata, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque s/n, 1900FWA, La Plata, Argentina. CONICET, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Four new gynandromorph Xylocopinae bees from Argentina are described and illustrated; one specimen of Xylocopa splendidula Latreille and three of Ceratina rupestris Holmberg. All specimens are mosaic gynandromorphs as they display mixed female-male characters in different parts of the body. Key words: Gynandromorphs, Carpenter Bees, Argentina Introduction Gynandromorphs are sexually abnormal individuals that display secondary characters of both sexes. Sex anomalies occur relatively frequently among bees and may be of striking appearance in species where the two sexes are markedly dissimilar in structure or color (Engel 2007). Gynandromorphs are interesting because they provide the possibility to recognize both female and male characters in the same specimen, allowing to match the different sexes with reasonable certainty when unknown. Among bees, most reports of gynandromorphism come from the families Megachilidae and Apidae (Ornosa Gallego 1984; Gonzalez 2004; Wcislo et al. 2004; Oliveira and Andrade 2006; Lucia et al. 2009; Michez et al. 2009; Sampson et al. 2010; Giangarelli and Sofia 2011). The subfamily Xylocopinae of Apidae includes four tribes: Manueliini, Xylocopini, Ceratinini and Allodapini; the first three tribes are monotypic and include the genera Manuelia Vachal, Xylocopa Latreille and Ceratina Latreille respectively (Michener 2007). -

The study area was divided in 7 different localities namely Chakdara, Talash, Timergara, Jandol, Khal, Darmal and Lal Qilla. Higher Simpson’s index (1_D) values were calculated for Talash (0.7464) followed by Khal (0.7392), Chakdara and Jandol (same value 0.7366), Darmal (0.7268), Lal Qila (0.7244) and lowest value was calculated for Timergara (0.716). Divider and Scale method was used for the morphometric measurement of carpenter bees. Out of the total 321 specimens collected, four species namely, Xylocopa collaris, Xylocopa acutipennis, Xylocopa dissimilis and Xylocopa pubescens were identified. X. dissimilis was the abundant species recorded which represented 29.60 % of the total collection, while X. -

Brown Title of Study: Biodiversity of Bariditae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Conoderinae) in Mississippi Pages in Study: 262 Candidate for Degree of Master of Science A survey of Bariditae in Mississippi resulted in records of 75 species in 32 genera and included two undescribed species and 36 new state records. An additional two species were recognized as possibly occurring in Mississippi as well. Diagnoses for all of the genera and species in the state are provided and keys to the genera as well as all of the species were made. Species were found in every county within Mississippi and are representative of the Bariditae fauna of the southeastern United States. Open, prairie-like habitats and aquatic wetland habitats were the habitats with the highest biodiversity of Bariditae in the state. Species of Baris, Geraeus, Linogeraeus, and Odontocorynus, were found in the highest numbers and Linogeraeus and Sibariops were found to be the most speciose genera in the state. -

A Baseline Invertebrate Survey of the Ken Hill Estate, 2019
A baseline invertebrate survey of the Ken Hill Estate, 2019 Graeme Lyons February 2020 Fig. 1. The nationally rare Breckland Leather Arenocoris waltlii is listed as Critically Endangered 0 – Summary The Ken Hill Estate plan to rewild a large area of some 400 ha of their Estate during 2019 and 2020. The summer of 2019 was the last crop for much of this area and as such, the 2019 survey season was an exciting opportunity to collect baseline data before any changes were made to the site. The author was commissioned to carry out a wide range of surveys in 2019, including this baseline invertebrate survey. A methodology used by the author to monitor other rewilding sites nationally was adopted based upon surveying eight fields/sections, six times from April to September. The sections needed to represent the site geographically, representationally in terms of habitats and crops and make a realistic circular route. Each section was recorded for 30 minutes using the method pertinent to the season. Specimens were taken and identified at the microscope. Eight species lists were produced and an overall site species list was also produced. All species with conservation status were recorded and species accounts given. Any species recorded between section or on different surveys were also recorded. A total of 1895 records were made during the six visits comprised of 811 species, 50 species of which had conservation status (6.2%). The total number of species was exceptionally rich, the highest figure of any six-visit invertebrate survey carried out by the author. The proportion of species with status was comparable to other rewilding surveys but these were carried out some 15 years after rewilding began. -

The Very Handy Bee Manual
The Very Handy Manual: How to Catch and Identify Bees and Manage a Collection A Collective and Ongoing Effort by Those Who Love to Study Bees in North America Last Revised: October, 2010 This manual is a compilation of the wisdom and experience of many individuals, some of whom are directly acknowledged here and others not. We thank all of you. The bulk of the text was compiled by Sam Droege at the USGS Native Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab over several years from 2004-2008. We regularly update the manual with new information, so, if you have a new technique, some additional ideas for sections, corrections or additions, we would like to hear from you. Please email those to Sam Droege ([email protected]). You can also email Sam if you are interested in joining the group’s discussion group on bee monitoring and identification. Many thanks to Dave and Janice Green, Tracy Zarrillo, and Liz Sellers for their many hours of editing this manual.
