Stylops piercei n. sp. and Stylops boharti n. sp. are described based on female specimens associated with their hosts. Both species are hosted by bees in the genus Andrena but are from species in subgenera that have not previously been documented to host strepsipterans in North America. Andrena (Dactylandrena) berberidis is the host of S. piercei n. sp. and Andrena (Scaphandrena) cruciferarum hosts S. boharti. A supplementary description of Stylops cressoni is given based on specimens from Andrena cressoni infaciata, which is the first report of this subspecies of A. cressoni being a strepsipteran host, and this represents a range extension from Maine, USA to Colorado, USA. Range extensions are reported for Stylops bipunctatae now known from Florida and Stylops mandibularis now found in Colorado. A new host record of S. mandibularis from Andrena thaspii is documented.
根据与其寄主相关的雌性标本,描述了piercei n. sp和boharti n. sp。这两个物种都是由安德里娜属的蜜蜂宿主,但它们来自以前没有记录的亚属物种,在北美宿主链虫。小檗属(Dactylandrena)是S. piercei n. sp.的寄主,十字花科(Scaphandrena)寄主S. boharti。本文根据赤枝芽孢杆菌(Andrena cressoni infaciata)的标本对赤枝芽孢杆菌(Stylops cressoni)进行了补充描述,这是首次报道赤枝芽孢杆菌亚种为链虫寄主,其分布范围从美国缅因州延伸到美国科罗拉多州。据报道,现在在佛罗里达州发现的双点茎柱和在科罗拉多州发现的下颌茎柱的范围扩大了。报道了一种新寄主记录。

Under natural environmental conditions, insects are highly affected by heat stress. Studies on the effect of heat stresses on the life history of Dysdercus koenigii are scarce. This study investigated the effect of short-term high temperature stress on the developmental period, survival rate of all stages and reproduction of D. koenigii adults. Eggs, nymphs and adults were exposed to 28 °C, 31 °C, 34 °C, 37 °C and 40 °C for 2 h and returned to the laboratory to check all the above-mentioned aspects. The developmental duration and survival rate of all stages decreased with the increase of temperature. Longevity and survival rate of females were significantly higher than males after exposure to heat. Fecundity and hatching percentage was significantly decreased with the increase of temperature. Because short-term high temperature stress response is vital for the survival of all stages of D. koenigii, our findings can be used to develop a more profound understanding of the potential for this insect to evolve in response to environmental changes.

Crawfordia hadrovena n. sp. is described from specimens hosted by bee species Protandrena aethiops and P. rugosa from Central Texas. While these host species overlap in their geographical distribution in this region, their flight times and adult presence in the environment are isolated temporally. The description of males of C. hadrovena represents only the second males known in the genus of now nine species. Females have been described for all species but the description of species only using females has not used consistent characters. Thus, taxonomic characters are discussed with the shape of the cephalothorax, nature of the cephalothoracic basal band, nature of the brood canal, and shape of mandibles being important characters for species identification. The lateral portions of the brood canal that were previously thought to be sutures between head and thorax of the cephalothorax or cord-like extensions of the brood canal are now shown to be the lateral sides of the brood canal. A checklist of all species of Crawfordia and their hosts is provided.

ABSTRACT: Bees are declining in the U.S., especially in heavily cropped landscapes due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and other factors. In Midwestern states like North Dakota (ND), where field crops are grown extensively, native resources for bees are often sparse. Soybean and sunflower are two major crops grown in ND which could provide floral resources for bee communities. To address the importance of these crops for bees, we sampled soybean and sunflower fields in 2018 using bee bowls. Our objectives were: 1) to determine the community composition, abundance, and species richness of bees in flowering soybean and sunflower grown in southeastern ND; 2) to determine the bee abundance at different flowering stages of each crop; and 3) to evaluate the effectiveness of bowl colors for monitoring bees. We collected a total of 3,038 bees and 53 different species. Apidae was the most common bee trapped across both crops with 82.4% of collected bees. Overall, community composition, abundance, and species richness of bees were not significantly different between crops; however, abundance indicated that 116.8% more bees were collected in soybean than sunflower. Regardless of crop, bee abundance at field edges was 18.2% higher than those captured from field interiors; however, species richness did not differ between field edges and interiors. Bee abundance did not differ across flowering stages of either crop, with one exception in sunflowers. Sunflower at R6 (flowering completed) had much higher bee abundance than sunflower at R5.5 (mid-flowering), probably due to the bowls being more attractive and visible as flowering ended. Blue bowls captured the majority of bees. Both blue and yellow bowls captured significantly more bees than white and red bowls across both crops. The relative bee diversity and abundance identified in this study increased our knowledge of bee communities in soybean and sunflower grown in ND.
