Specimens of Neurothemis disparilis Kirby, 1889, N. fluctuans (Fabricius, 1793), N. fulvia (Drury, 1773), N. ramburii (Brauer, 1866), N. stigmatizans (Fabricius, 1775) and N. terminata Ris, 1911, including their subspecies, were studied with the main focus on the morphology of the vesica spermalis, wing maculation, wing venation, abdominal markings and vulvar scales. The results were compared with species descriptions and directly with type specimens where possible. The vesica spermalis, especially the medial process, is useful at least in separating species groups and supports the traditional differentiation methods using wing maculation and venation. The use of other characters in accessing specific status, coupled with known distribution patterns, is discussed. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Neurothemis manadensis (Boisduval, 1835) stat. nov., Neurothemis papuensis (Lieftinck, 1942) stat. nov. and Neurothemis taiwanensis sp. nov. is described (27.5.1998, Kenting, Pingtung County/Taiwan, L. M. Juang leg.; holotype is deposited at Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, Taipeh, Taiwan). The type of Polyneura palliata Rambur, 1842 was rediscovered at MNHN and designated as lectotype; a lectotype for Neurothemis nicobarica Brauer, 1867 housed at NHMW is designated. The holotype of Neurothemis incerta Brauer, 1867 was rediscovered and synonymized with N. ramburii.
As a result of increased interest in dragonflies and close cooperation between odonatologists on the Balkan Peninsula, the Balkan Odonatological Meeting (BOOM) has been established in 2011. This report presents the results of the field trip during 4th Balkan Odonatological Meeting that was held in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1st to 8th August 2014. With 69 surveyed localities and 496 records of 47 species, this was the most successful BOOM until now. The noteworthy results are records of several nationally rare species: Chalcolestes viridis, Coenagrion scitulum, Erythromma najas and Ceriagrion tenellum, and new populations of Cordulegaster heros, a species mentioned in the Annexes of the EU Habitats Directive. The distribution of Chalcolestes spp. in Bosnia and Herzegovina is also presented and discussed.
In 2014, 56 localities in four provinces of Lesser Himalaya in Pakistan were studied. A total of 28 species have been recorded. A female of the data deficient, threatened species Coeliccia vacca was recorded from Charhaan. The record of Drepanosticta carmichaeli is a new addition to the list of Odonata of Pakistan, and expand the range of this species further to the west. The taxonomical status of Ischnura aurora aurora – considered common in Pakistan, following baseline literature of Fraser (1933) – now turns out to be Ischnura aurora rubilio.
In der Arbeit werden Ergebnisse der fortgeführten Libellenkartierung in den Jahren 2015 und 2016 in drei MoorNaturschutzgebieten ("Zacisze", "Przygiełkowe Moczary" und "Żurawie Bagno") in der Niederschlesischen Heide dargestellt. Insgesamt konnten 41 Arten nachgewiesen werden. Acht Arten wurden neu nachgewiesen, darunter sechs Arten mediterraner Herkunft. Die Beobachtung von Orthetrum albistylum (Selys, 1848) zeigt, dass diese Art bereits die westliche Grenze Polens erreicht hat und eine weitere Expansion nach Ostdeutschland zu erwarten ist. Die Untersuchungen erbrachten keine neuen Funde von Aeshna subarctica Walker, 1908 im Untersuchungsgebiet; somit bleibt der Status dieser Art immer noch unklar. Von den seltenen Arten wurde Leucorrhinia caudalis (Charpentier, 1840) im NSG „Zacisze“ belegt. Es ist die erste Feststellung dieser Art in der Niederschlesichen Heide und soweit die einzige im südlichen Teil der Lubuskie Woiwodschaft; jedoch bleibt der Status noch unbekannt. Die Studie bestätigt, dass die Biodiversität in den Schutzgebieten sehr hoch ist. Die thermophilen Arten tragen zur Erhöhung der lokalen Diversität in den Mooren bei, sind jedoch gleichzeitig regional neue Faunenelemente, die eine starke Veränderung der moorigen Libellengemeinschaft verursachen können. Zur Beobachtung dieser Entwicklung sind weitere systematische Erfassungen in den Gebieten notwendig.
Andaspis recurrens Takagi and Kawai, Hypaspidiotus jordani (Kuwana), Lepidosaphes kamakurensis (Kuwana) and Selenomphalus distylii Takagi from warm temperate forests are newly documented in the Korean fauna of armored scale insects (Hemiptera: Diaspididae). Characteristics of these species are briefl y given and illustrative photographs and information on their distribution and hosts are provided.
The Republic of Panama currently has 300 recorded species of Trichoptera distributed among 14 families. Herein we add 42 new country records for Panama, including one new family (Anomalopsychidae) and three new genera (Anomalopsychidae: Contulma; Hydroptilidae: Byrsopteryx and Cerasmatrichia). The newly recorded caddisfly taxa increase Panama’s total known fauna to 342 species, distributed among 15 families and 50 genera. These results are part of an ongoing effort to characterize the caddisfly fauna of Panama, and to evaluate that country’s major watersheds (cuencas).
New data on Odonata of the Guadalcanal Island, Solomon Islands are provided following a recently completed Rapid Biodiversity Assessment of the Tetena Haiaja ridge. Two new species, Lieftinckia ulunorum and Procordulia valevahalo are described.
The first is a new member of the Solomon Islands endemic genus while the second is a new genus for the country and the second validated species from the Corduliidae family known from this Pacific archipelago. As L. ulunorum is found to be very closely related to formerly known L. lairdi Lieftinck, 1963, which was also collected during the field trip, both are described in detail based on mature adults and teneral specimens. Comparison with L. salomonis Kimmins, 1957 (investigated only from figures published in the original species description) and Salomoncnemis gerdae Lieftinck, 1987 (also sampled during this study) were provided as well.
Additional morphological data is given on the following species: Teinobasis bradleyi Kimmins, 1957, female is illustrated here for the first time; Anax sp. cf. gibbosulus, second record of the genus for the country and Gynacantha amphora Marinov & Theischinger, 2012, originally described by a single male, here the description of the female is provided.
All other species collected during the field trip will be published separately in the final expedition report.
Chionaspis acer (Takagi and Kawai) and Chionaspis wistariae Cooley, occurring respectively on Acer and Wisteria plants, are newly reported in the Korean fauna of armored scales (Hemiptera: Diaspididae). The characters of these species are briefl y redescribed with illustrative photographs and information on distribution and hosts. A dichotomous key to species of Chionaspis Signoret in Korea is provided for correct species identifi cation.
The island arc of the Lesser Antilles lies at the eastern margin of the Caribbean Sea in the Western Hemisphere, and stretches from the eastern end of the islands of the Greater Antilles (at the Virgin Islands), south to a position near the continental islands of Trinidad and Tobago at the north eastern corner of South America. The islands are a part of the West Indian Islands biodiversity “hotspot” and have been available for terrestrial colonization for about the past 15 million years. This is a status report on present knowledge of the beetle faunas of these islands, which is composed of 90 families, 1210 genera, and 2612 recognized species. Many additional species are not yet identified, or are unnamed, or remain to be discovered. Reported for the first time from the Lesser Antilles are four families, 49 genera, 105 species, and 1253 new island records. The largest families are Curculionidae (588 species), Staphylinidae (389 species), Chrysomelidae (181 species), Tenebrionidae (142 species), Cerambycidae (138 species), Scarabaeidae (127 species), and Carabidae (126 species). There are differing patterns of species distributions: 154 species are probably introduced by human activities; 985 are endemic species (limited to a single island); 465 are species endemic to more than one island of the Lesser Antilles; 212 are species limited to just islands of the West Indies; and 800 are native (naturally occurring) species which also have part of their distributional range in North, Central, or South America. Most of the widely distributed beetle fauna has probably come from South America by over-water dispersal. There is no compelling evidence for a vicariance origin of any part of the beetle fauna. Earlier colonists have had more time to form endemic genera (18) and endemic species. The more widely distributed species probably represent distributions achieved in and since the Pleistocene.
Descriptions and illustrations of the fi fth instar and prepupal larval stages of Stethon pectorosus LeConte, 1866 (Coleoptera: Eucnemidae: Eucneminae: Mesogenini) are provided. These are the fi rst larval descriptions for the genus Stethon LeConte within the subfamily Eucneminae in the Nearctic region. Biological information is provided and comparison with larval morphology of other Eucnemidae is briefl y discussed.
