Microrhagus brunneus, new species (Coleoptera: Eucnemidae: Melasinae: Dirhagini) is described from Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Dorsal, ventral and lateral habitus, along with male aedeagus are illustrated and a new key is provided to distinguish the new species from the four other Microrhagus species in the region.
The elytra of Balcus signatus Broun (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae) from New Zealand have pale markings. Such markings, most prominently found in females, represent intraspecific variations of Balcus violaceus (Fabricius). Accordingly, Balcus signatus Brown is synonymized with Notoxus violaceus Fabricius, new synonymy. Four habitus figures of Balcus violaceus (Fabricius) are presented to display the range of elytral color variation in the species.
Thirty-two new species of Perilypus Spinola (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae) are described; they are Perilypus ancorus, P. angustatus, P. aquilus, P. arenaceus, P. caligneus, P. cartagoensis, P. collatus, P. comosus, P. concisus, P. copanensis, P. copiosus, P. diutius, P. divaricatus, P. elimatus, P. flavoapicalis, P. galenae, P. hamus, P. hornito, P. infussus, P. iodus, P. lateralis, P. latissimus, P. licinus, P. limbus, P. miculus, P. odous, P. orophus, P. patulus, P. punctus, turnbowi, P. violaceus, and P. yasuniensis. Included in this work are 58 line drawings and 32 color habitus photographs of primary types. To facilitate species identification the species included herein are linked to a key to Perilypus species provided in a previous review of the genus.
Lingafelteria, a new genus of Onciderini Thomson, 1860 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) is described and illustrated. Five new species of Onciderini are also described and illustrated: Cylicasta mariahelenae, Lingafelteria giuglarisi, Psyllotoxus dalensi, Psyllotoxus faurei from French Guiana; Trestonia solangeae from Bolivia. Keys to the known species of Psyllotoxus Thomson, 1868 are provided. Psyllotoxoides albomaculata Breuning, 1961 is redescribed; and the first known females of Strioderes peruanus Giorgi, 2001 and Tibiosioma martinsi Nearns and Swift, 2011 are described. The following eight new country records are reported: Peritrox marcelae Nearns and Tavakilian, 2012 (Brazil); Pseudobeta ferruginea Galileo and Martins, 1990 (French Guiana); Tibiosioma martinsi Nearns and Swift, 2011 (Brazil, Peru); Trestonia exotica Galileo and Martins, 1990 (French Guiana); Trestonia morrisi Martins and Galileo, 2005 (French Guiana); Tritania dilloni Chalumeau, 1990 (French Guiana, Suriname).
The primary types of Onciderini Thomson, 1860 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) deposited at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) are catalogued and illustrated. Data on the original combination, current name, and type locality are verified and presented. There are 36 primary types of Onciderini including 12 in Oncideres Lacordaire, 1830; four in Hypsioma Audinet-Serville, 1835; three each in Hesychotypa Thomson, 1868; Cacostola Fairmaire and Germain, 1859; and Sternycha Dillon and Dillon, 1945. A brief history of the CMNH is also presented.
Crossidius grahami Morris and Wappes new species (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is described from the Ohoopee Dunes of southern Georgia. Comments are included on the new species’ biology and disjunct distribution compared to other species of Crossidius LeConte. Illustrations include: dorsal and lateral views of the primary types of C. grahami, its natural habitat, the known host plant (Chrysoma pauciflosculosa (Michx.) Greene (Asteraceae)), pupal chamber, and dorsal views of both sexes of Crossidius humeralis quadrivittata Penrose, 1974, considered its closest anatomical counterpart and nearest geographical relative.
Die Energiedispersive Röntgenspektroskopie (EDX) ist so empfindlich, dass sie physiologische Chloridwerte bei Moosen und Gefäßpflanzen leicht erfassen kann. Bei dem halophilen Moos Desmatodon heimii werden hohe Cl-Werte in stoffwechselaktiven Teilen (unreife Sporogone) wie auch in abgestorbenen und abgestoßenen Blättern nachgewiesen. Als Vergleich zu salztoleranten Gefäßpflanzen diente die Salzsode (Suaeda maritima (L.) DUMORT.).
Annotated world bibliography of host fruits of Bactrocera latifrons (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2013)
Bactrocera latifrons (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) infests fruits and vegetables of a number of different plant species, with host plants primarily found in the plant families Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae. Although B. latifrons is of primarily Asian distribution (e.g., Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, China [Fujian, Yunnan, Hong Kong, Hainan], Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Brunei), its range has expanded through introductions into Hawaii, Okinawa, Tanzania, and Kenya, and poses a threat of introduction into other countries where it does not presently occur. As with other tephritid fruit fly species, establishment of B. latifrons can have significant economic consequences, including damage and loss of food production, as well as requirements for implementation of costly quarantine treatments to permit export of commodities susceptible to infestation by B. latifrons. In order to avoid these adverse economic consequences, one needs to prevent the entry, establishment and spread of B. latifrons into a new habitat. To successfully achieve this, an accurate knowledge of the fly’s host plants is essential. Cognizant of this need, we prepared, and present here, a worldwide list of host plants for B. latifrons, with annotations on reported laboratory and field infestation data. Overall, a total of 59 plant species from 14 plant families are identified as hosts of B. latifrons, based on reported field infestation data.
