Am Zoologischen Institut der Uni Heidelberg wurde bereits seit einigen Jahren an der Entwicklung einer biologischen Bekämpfungsstrategie gegen Maikäfer gearbeitet. Neben einem Bacillus thuringiensis-Stamm, der bei einigen Maikäfer-Verwandten wirksam ist (WAGNER & SCHNETTER 2001), wurde vor allem mit entomopathogenen Nematoden der Gattungen Steinernema und Heterorhabditis geforscht (BERNER & SCHNETTER 2001). Die Anfälligkeit der Larven sowohl des Feld- als auch des Waldmaikäfers gegenüber diesen Nematoden ist jedoch im Vergleich zu anderen Scarabaeiden, wie dem Gartenlaubkäfer (Phylloperta horticola), relativ gering (SULISTYANTO & EHLERS 1996), so dass auch die bisher durchgeführten Freilandversuche wenig Erfolg brachten (BERNER & SCHNETTER 2002). Neben der Suche nach möglichst infektiösen Nematodenarten und -stämmen ist für den Erfolg einer Nematodenapplikation im Freiland eine vorausgehende Systemanalyse des Standortes von entscheidender Bedeutung. Hierbei sind neben abiotischen Faktoren wie der Witterung und den Bodenverhältnissen auch biotische Faktoren wie dem Vorkommen von Pathogenen in der Engerling-Population zu erfassen. Insbesondere eine Vorinfektion der Engerling-Population kann einen falschen Wirkungsgrad der Nematoden vortäuschen, da unter diesen Bedingungen antagonistische oder synergistische Wechselwirkungen zwischen den latenten Pathogenen und den applizierten Nematoden zu erwarten sind. Ausgangspunkt der hier vorgestellten Arbeit war eine Engerling-Population des Waldmaikäfers (Melolontha hippocastani), die 1999 in der Nähe von Lorsch gefunden wurde und einen hohen Prozentsatz an Engerlingen aufwies, der mit Rickettsien (Rickettsiella popilliae) infiziert war. Aufgrund der hohen Dichte und der ausgeprägten Symptome der als „Lorscher Seuche“ bei Engerlingen bekannten Rickettsien-Infektion konnte die Krankheit bereits im Feld diagnostiziert werden (vgl. NIKLAS 1960).
Analyse morphologique du splanchnocrane chez les primates et ses rapports avec le prognathisme
(1956)
Chez les Mammifères inférieurs, les mâchoire et les cavités orbtitaires sont situées en avant du neurocrâne; chez les Primates, le massif facial se déplace et est en partie situé sous la cavité cranienne; chez l'Homme, non seulement le massif facial est réduit de volume, mais il est logé entièrement sous le neurocrâne. ...
At the conclusion of my student's career at Paris, in the time of Baron Cuvier, my first application of that great teacher's "Laws of Reconstruction of Extinct Animals from their Fossil Remains" was to those of the British Isles, of which study the results, as relating to the Mammals, Birds, and Reptiles, have been published. ...
The paper deals with the biology, morphology and anatomy of seven species of syrphid larvae viz. Syrphus luniger Meig., S. balteatus De Greer, S. ribesii Linne, Catabomba pyrastri Linne, Sphaerophoriae flavicauda Zett., Sph. scripta Linne, and Platychirus scutatus Meig. The habitat, mode of progression, aphidophagous habits and characteristic coloration are described for each species. It is shown that the larvae of aIl the above species, like larvae of other cyclorrhaphous Diptera, definitely pass through three stages separated by two moults. The mode of dehiscence of the puparium is described briefly. Each of the species, except Catabomba pyrustri, has three generations in the breeding season which lasts from May to October. Platychirus scutatus hibernates only in the larval stage, but the other species may be found in both the larval and pupal stages during the winter. The larvae of all the above species, except syrplzus balteatus, are commonly parasitized by ichneumonid larvae. The morphology of the egg, the three larval stages and the puparium of S. luniger is described in detail. The characters common to the third stage larvae of all the species deaIt with are summarized and short descriptions of the third stagelarvae andpuparia of the individual species are given. The general appearance of the living larvae and details of the buccopharyngeal armature, spiracles and puparia of each of the species is represented in figures. In connexion with the pupae a number of new structures are described arid it is suggested that some of them are concerned with the formation of the characteristic shape of the puparium and with the dehiscence of the puparium. Internal pupal spiracles are present in all the species dealt; with, but external pupal spiracles are present only in Platychirus scutatus. The anatomy of P. scutatus is described and figured, an account being given of all the structures except the musculature of the body wall. Study of the anatomy affords evidence as to the carnivorons mode of Iife of the larvae and also indicates that tho larvae have evolved from aquatic forms. The comparative morphology of the Syrphinae is discussed with respect to the relationship of the Syrphinae to other Aschiza aiid to the cyclorrhaphous Diptera.
This paper is a monographic revision of tlie Holarctic genus Hilarimorpha Schiner. Twenty-seven species are recognized, twenty-two of which are new: Hilarimorpha abuta, bumulla, californica, clavata, cunata, desta, kena, lamara, Iantha, loisae, mandana, mentata, modesta, parva, pitans, punata, reparta, robertsoni, sidora, stena, tampa, and varda. Two described species from Asia, Hilarimorpha maculata and orientalis, are removed from the genus. In addition to a taxonomic revision of the genus, this study treats geographical distribution of the species, and the relationship of the genus to othe families of brachycerous Diptera.
Un heureux hasard nous a fait acheter, en janvier dernier, pour une experience, une chevre adulte, qui mourut peu de temps apres de dysenterie coccidienne. Le parasite appartenait à l'espece decrite en 1930 par W. L. Yakimoff et Rastegaieva sous le nom de Eimeria Nina-Kohl-Yakimovi. La description originale des auteurs ne comprenait que celle de l'ookyste. Nous avons pu la completer par celle de son cycle evolutif et des Iesions que cette espece determine. Au cours des investigations bibliographiques que nous avons du entreprendre, nous avons ete gene par une certaine confusion dans les travaux concernant les coccidioses du mouton et de la chevre, confusion qui avait ete remarquee par d'autres. Nous avons cru utile, a l'occasion de l'etude particuliere qui se presentait à nous, d'entreprendre un travail plus general et d'essayer de retrouver et de fixer les bases preeises de la zoologie des parasites qui nous occupent. C'est a dessein, pour eliminer des I'abord une cause de confusion, que nous reunissons les coccidies du mouton et de la chevre.

A world revision of the four entedonine (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Entedoninae) genera of larval parasitoids of thrips (Thysanoptera) is presented: Ceranisus Walker, 1841, Entedonomphale Girault, 1915 stat. rev. (reinstated as a valid taxon from previous synonymy under Ceranisus, with type species E. margiscutum Girault, 1915 stat. rev.), Goetheana Girault, 1920, and Thripobius Ferrière, 1938. The following new generic synonymies are proposed: Cryptomphale Girault, 1917, Entedonastichus Girault, 1920, Pirenoidea Girault, 1922, and Thripoctenoides Erdös, 1954 under Entedonomphale. The proposed new combinations are as follows: Entedonomphale bicolorata (Ishii, 1933), E. nubilipennis (Williams, 1916), and Thripobius javae (Girault, 1917) from Ceranisus; Entedonomphale carbonaria (Erdös, 1954), E. dei (Girault, 1922), E. kaulbarsi (Yoshimoto, 1981), and E. mira (Girault, 1920) from Entedonastichus. New synonymies are proposed for the following species: Ceranisus vinctus (Gahan, 1932) under Ceranisus menes (Walker, 1839), Diglyphus aculeo Walker, 1848 under Ceranisus pacuvius (Walker, 1838); Ceranisus maculatus (Waterston, 1930) and Thripobius semiluteus Boucek, 1976 under Thripobius javae (Girault, 1917); Entedonastichus albicoxis (Szelényi, 1982) under Entedonomphale carbonaria (Erdös, 1954), and Entedonastichus gaussi (Ferrière, 1958) under Entedonomphale bicolorata (Ishii, 1933). Eleven new species are described: Ceranisus barsoomensis and C. votetoda (Australia), C. udnamtak (Nepal); Entedonomphale boccaccioi (USA), E. esenini (Madagascar), E. lermontovi (South Africa), E. quasimodo and E. zakavyka (Australia); Goetheana pushkini (Japan and Republic of Korea) and G. rabelaisi (Australia); and Thripobius melikai (China). Three species are excluded from Ceranisus: C. ancylae (Girault, 1917) (mistakenly listed in Ceranisus) as well as C. nigricornis Motschulsky, 1863 and C. semitestaceus Motschulsky, 1863, both taxa incertae sedis. New data are provided on the distribution and host associations of many of the species included in this review.
Neogastropods are usualiy accepted as the most advanccd prosobranchs, though their organization is approached in several respects in some higher families of Mesogastropoda. This seems, however, to be due to parallel evolution and the neogastropods originated from a much lower grade of mesogastropod. Although some workers derive them from an archaeogastropod stock there are too many features in their anatomy characteristic of mesogastropods rather than of archaeogastropods for this to bc acceptable. On the whofe, neogastropods are a rather uniform group of prosobranchs in their shell, external features, and internal anatomy. In only one System do they show, by comprison with archaeo- and mesogastropods, both extreme specialization and considerable variation: this is the gut, which is in several ways unlike that of any other prosobranch. This is to be associated with their carnivorous way of life, in which respect they again differ markedly from meso- and archaeogastropods. Taylor, Morris Br Taylor (1980) have shown how neogastropod species differ amongst themselves not, primarily, in their rnode of life, but in their often narrow choice of prey. Since the anatomical requirements for predation are more or less constant, the different species remain similar in organization and are often sympatric. In these respects neogastropods differ markedly from mesogastropods, whose adaptive radiation has been extensive and primarily in relation to mode of life. Separation of neogastropods from mesogastropods rests mainly on the siphonal canal in the shell, the siphon on the mantle edge, the rachiglossate or toxoglossate radula, and the presence of a pleurembolic proboscis or one of its varieties (Smith, 1967). The osphradium is large and its axis carries a double series of lamellae, giving it a gill-like appearance. Males always have a penis and females usually a ventral pedal gland. lnternally the anterior part of the alimentary caiial has becorne elaborate, with a complex glandular equipment, and the wall of the kidney is more folded than in mesogastropods. The nervous systern is concentrated, though the visceral ganglia remain posteriorly placed. Eggs are laid in capsules attached to the substratum. A free larval stage is often suppressed and food eggs are common, but neither of these features has much taxonomic significance, occurring apparently randomly throughout the group. Because of their general similarity classification of the Neogastropoda has proved to be no easy task, and there is still no universally-accepted subdivision of the order into superfamilies. It is generally agreed, however, that the order may be split into two groups, primarily on the basis of radular structure. The more primitive of these, the Rachiglossa, has a radula with typically 3 teeth per row; the more advanced, the Toxoglossa, has a radula which, in more primitive genera, resembles the rachiglossate, but which Comes, in more advanced toxoglossans, to have only a single tooth in action at a time. Each tooth has then become scroll-like and is used for the injection of poison from a poison gland into the prey (Shimek & Kohn, 1981). The group Toxoglossa is agreed to contain the superfamily Conacea which includes (as Recent forms) the families Turridae, Conidae, and Terebridae, all with poison apparatus, though with very different shells. Risbec (1955), followed by Taylor & Sohl (1962), has added a second superfamily Mitracea containing, in the family Mitridae, a grouping of genera selected from that family as earlier understood. These have a rachiglossate radula and an apparent poison gland not irnrnediately comparable with that of undoubted toxoglossans. This reclassification of mitrids has not found favour with subsequent workers (Cernohorsky, 1966, 1970; Ponder, 1972). Ponder (1973) made a case for adding a third suborder to the two mentioncd above. This was to contain the single superfamily Cancellariacea with the one family Cancellariidae. The case rests on the unique character of their radula. It is, however, when one turns to the remaining rachiglossan families and- attempts to assign them to superfamilies that difficulties mount. Three groupings Iiave been conventionally recognized - Muricacea, Buccinacea, and Volutacea, though it has often appeared that the last was a collection of animals not obviously assignable to the other two rather than clearly related amongst thernselves. Ponder (1973) came to the somewhat pessimistic conclusion that all rachiglossans should be put into a single taxon, for which he used the name Muricacea. It seems to us, however, that certainly within the limited group of anirnals with which we have to deal here, but even in a broader context, there is still some validity - and certainly convenience - in the older Separation, when due importance is given to internal anatomy; we propose, therefore, to retain the three superfamilies in dealing with a group which is otherwise too large for easy treatment. We adopt this arrangement the more readily as we have no volutacean mernbers of the fauna with which we have to deal, provided that we accept Ponder's proposal to create a separate superfamily for cancellariids. This allows the remaining superfamilies to be split into Muricacea and Buccinacea, and it is between these two superfamilies that lines of division may most obviously be drawn. Taylor & Sohl (1962) noted about 800 genera and subgenera in the rachiglossan group. The Buccinacea, with nearly 400, is rivalled for size only by the superfamilies Rissoacea and Cerithiacea amongst all the prosobranchs. A difficulty arises at this point in relation to the number of species which have been described. Many neogastropods are not intertidal in occurrence. Their capture is dependent upon dredging, a method which can often do no more than sample a few isolated spots on the ocean bed. Many species have been described on the basis of these samples without any real knowledge of the variation whjch may affect populations. It seems, indeed, probable that many of these are no more than local varieties, especially when it is remembered that the anatomy of many is very imperfectly known. We have, therefore, been conservative in nomenclature and tended to use broad generic groupings where others might have used narrower ones. The latter may be right, but it is prernature to be sure of this.
In dieser Arbeit werden vorwiegend taxonomische und nomenklatorische Angaben zu Cryptini und in einem Fall auch zu Phygadeuontini gemacht. Aus der Westpaläarktis sind derzeit etwa 35 Gattungen von Cryptini bekannt. Einige davon wurden in den letzten Jahrzehnten bereits revidiert (z.B. HORSTMANN 1984, 1987, 1990a, VAN ROSSEM 1966, 1969a, 1969b, 1971, SCHWARZ 1988, 1989, 1990a, 1990b, 1997). Inzwischen konnte weiteres Material untersucht werden, wodurch in einigen Fällen neue Erkenntnisse gewonnen werden konnten. In dieser Arbeit werden vor allem Ergänzungen von Revisionen westpaläarktischer Cryptini gemacht. In einigen Fällen erstrecken sich die Angaben auch auf andere Gebiete (Ostpaläarktis, Orientalis, Äthiopis), Zusätzlich werden Ergebnisse von Typenuntersuchungen angeführt. Bei den untersuchten Typen werden wahlweise die genauen Angaben auf den Etiketten wiedergegeben oder, wenn diese in anderen neueren Publikationen erwähnt sind, weggelassen. Nach den Angaben zum Typus bzw. zu den Funddaten bei zusätzlichem Material wird jeweils der Aufbewahrungsort angegeben. Die Reihung der hier behandelten Gattungen und Arten erfolgt alphabetisch. Bei der Auflistung des untersuchten Materials werden entweder die genauen Funddaten, besonders bei Material außerhalb von Europa, oder nur die Länder aufgelistet. Inseln werden, da tiergeografisch besonders interessant, gesondert angeführt.
Gli Autori segnalano per il territorio delle Alpi Liguri 144 specie di Molluschi terrestri e 25 specie di Molluschi acquidulcicoli. L'elenco sistematico riporta, per ciascuna specie, eventuali sinonimie, segnalazioni di letteratura e di collezione e i risultati di ricerche di campagna effettuate dagli Autori negli anni 1977-84; inoltre, vengono fornite la geonemia e brevi considerazioni sulla distribuzionc geografica, le caratteristiche ecologichc ed eventuali problemi tassonomici. Segue un esame critico dei taxa di pteseilza dubbia o di incerta collocazione sistematica, ed un breve elenco delle specie presenti nelle aree circostanti l'area in esame, ma assenti in Alpi Liguri. La malacofauna terrestre delle Alpi Liguri (considerate in toto o nei tre Settori del Cuneese, Imperiese e Savonese) viene confrontata con quella di tre settori piu interni delle Alpi Occidentali (Alpi Marittime settentrionali, Alpi Cozie, Alpi Graie), di un settorc alpino meridionale (Alpi Marittime francesi) e di due settori appenninici (Appennino Ligure ed Aipi Apuane), mediante indici di similarit i di tipo binario (presenza-assenza di specie). Vengono inoltre confrontati tra loro gli spettri corologici delle aree sopracitate. L'area studiata non appare uniforme da1 punto di vista faunistico, ma diversamente caratterizzata nei diversi settori. Per la particolare posizione geografica e le peculiari caratteristiche paleoclimatiche, geomorfologiche ed ambientali, il popolamento malacologico delle Alpi Liguri si presenta qualitativamente vario ed ariicchito da correnti rnigratorie di diversa provenienza (alpina, W-mediterranes, appenninicii). Nella caratterizzazione della fauna e degli endemismi, sembra importante il ruolo di area di rifugio assunto dalle Alpi Liguri in epoca glaciale.
The cirripeds sampled by the N. O. Jean Charcot from the Azores region include thirty-four species: twenty lepadomorphs, eight verrucomorphs and six balanomorphs. Among these are two new species: Arcoscalpellum eponkos n.sp. and Tesseropora arnoldi n.sp. and several little known species. The family Verrucidae is revised, and a key to the genera is included. Verruca and Metaverruca are rediagnosed, two new genera are proposed: Newmaniuerruca n.g. and Costatoverruca n.g. A list of recent species of Verrucidae is provided, reported with keys to all of the species. Forty-five species of cirripeds are reported from the Azores region, of which one third are endemic.
The several experiments, of which tlhs paper presets a resume, were conducted during the early summer of 1903, at the Naples Zoölogical Station, while occupying the table of the Smithsonian Institution, for the courtesy of which it is a pleasure to express my obligations. The primary object of the experiments was to test the regenerative capacity of the Scyphomedusae and to institute certain comparisons between these results and those obtained by similar experiments previously made upon the Hydromedusae. So far as I am aware no similar experiments have been made upon the Scyphomedusae with the definite purpose of testing this particular aspect: of their physiological constitution. Romanes in his experiments upon "Primitive Nervous Systems", 85, has recorded incidentally the fact that certain mutilations of medusae are promptly healed, but gave no details. Eimer, '78, has also carried on similar experiments and with the Same general purpose of testing the character and distribution of nervous centers, but makes no reference to the matter of regeneration. And quite recently Uexküll, has likewise reviewed these experiments of Romanes and Eimer and carried them sornewhat farther than they had done. But while arrivirlg at somewhat different conclusions, drawn from a series of experiments in some features coincident with those to be described now, he makes no reference to any regenerative processes, devoting attentioti almost exclusively to the movements, specially those of rhytmic character, and seeking physical explanations of them. The earlier references of Haeckel to the capacity of larvae of certain medusae to regenerate entire organisms are likewise indefinite. Morgan in referring to the subject in his recent book on "Regeneration", merely remarks that among Scyphozoa "the jelly-fishes belonging to this group have a limited amount of regenerative power". I very much regret that an unusual scarcity of material compels me to leave several points somewhat less fully considered than is desirable, but I trust they are not of suffiicient gravity to seriously mar the general value of the results as a whole. In one respect this scarcity of material, making necessary successive experiments on the same specimen in many cases, proved fortunate rather than otherwise, since facts of importance were thus brought to light which might otherwise have been overlooked. Some of these will be referred to specifically in another connection.
