Data Quality, Performance, and Uncertainty in Taxonomic Identification for Biological Assessments
J. N. Am. Benthol. Soc., 2008, 27(4):906–919 Ó 2008 by The North American Benthological Society DOI: 10.1899/07-175.1 Published online: 28 October 2008 Data quality, performance, and uncertainty in taxonomic identification for biological assessments 1 2 James B. Stribling AND Kristen L. Pavlik Tetra Tech, Inc., 400 Red Brook Blvd., Suite 200, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117-5159 USA Susan M. Holdsworth3 Office of Wetlands, Oceans, and Watersheds, US Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Mail Code 4503T, Washington, DC 20460 USA Erik W. Leppo4 Tetra Tech, Inc., 400 Red Brook Blvd., Suite 200, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117-5159 USA Abstract. Taxonomic identifications are central to biological assessment; thus, documenting and reporting uncertainty associated with identifications is critical. The presumption that comparable results would be obtained, regardless of which or how many taxonomists were used to identify samples, lies at the core of any assessment. As part of a national survey of streams, 741 benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected throughout the eastern USA, subsampled in laboratories to ;500 organisms/sample, and sent to taxonomists for identification and enumeration. Primary identifications were done by 25 taxonomists in 8 laboratories. For each laboratory, ;10% of the samples were randomly selected for quality control (QC) reidentification and sent to an independent taxonomist in a separate laboratory (total n ¼ 74), and the 2 sets of results were compared directly. The results of the sample-based comparisons were summarized as % taxonomic disagreement (PTD) and % difference in enumeration (PDE). Across the set of QC samples, mean values of PTD and PDE were ;21 and 2.6%, respectively. -

ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

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). -
Two New Species of Acentrella Bengtsson, 1912 (Ephemeroptera, Baetidae) from Kazakhstan with Notes on the Palaearctic Fauna

E-mail: [email protected] 2Institute of Natural History, Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract A detailed morphological description of the larval stage of Acentrella glareosa sp. nov. and Acentrella charadra sp. nov. from the genus Acentrella Bengtsson, 1912 is given. Their differential diagnoses are provided with regard to other Palaearctic representatives of the genus. A. glareosa sp. nov. can be distinguished from the related species by the unique shape of maxillary palp, the arrangement of the bristles on it’s legs (the presence of bilateral ciliation and the second ventral row of tibial bristles) and vestigial paracercus. A. charadra sp. nov. is characterized mainly by the presence of apparent subapical bristles on the tarsal claws, the shape of it’s leg bristles (bilateraly ciliate on femora and tibiae, a row of tarsal bristles missing), the unique shape of the labial palp and vestigial paracercus. The generic concept of Acentrella and its historical development is summarized. Possible relationships of Acentrella to the Baetidae genera Liebebiella Waltz & McCafferty, 1987, Platybaetis Müller-Liebenau, 1982, Jubabaetis Müller-Liebenau, 1982 and Gratia Thomas, 1992 from the Oriental Region are discussed. -

Maps of the distribution of 327 species of the aquatic insect orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera are provided for reference (undisturbed) sites in 27 of the 29 river basins in Victoria. These maps are based on approximately 13 years of sampling of the larvae and nymphs by the Environment Protection Agency, Victoria.

Most can also be reliably identified at reference (undisturbed or least disturbed by human activity) to species, using available identification keys for Australian river sites in Victoria. Victoria is the only state that has taxa (Hawking, 2000). gathered species level invertebrate data for streams and rivers.
