ABSTRACT Two species of fire ants, Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius) and Solenopsis invicta (Buren), pose important threats to sea turtles, attacking hatchlings both within the nest and as they emerge and head towards the ocean. We surveyed ants at permanent markers along a major sea turtle nesting beach at Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, Saint Croix, US Virgin Islands, where both S. geminata and S. invicta occur. Over the course of five surveys in 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022, the percent of tuna baits with S. geminata or S. invicta present declined from 48% in 2006, to 30%, 16%, 2%, and 4% in the four subsequent surveys. The reasons for the decline in fire ants on this beach are uncertain, but it is likely a positive development for nesting sea turtles.

ABSTRACT Here we review changes to the planthopper (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) fauna north of Mexico since the publication of “A review of the planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) of the United States” (Bartlett et al. 2014). There are 12 species in 4 families added to the fauna and 50 changes in the generic assignment in 4 families. The most significant faunal addition is the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula (White)), with populations reported in 14 states and vagrants in 3 more. We review some nomenclatural and taxonomic issues and provide a list of anomalous records that may represent unreported or undescribed species that require further investigation. All told, these additions and changes (excluding anomalous records) give totals of 175 genera and 924 species in 13 families of planthoppers, a net addition of 1 family, 8 genera, and 10 species to the tally provided in 2014.
本文回顾了自“美国飞虱(半翅目:飞虱总科)综述”(Bartlett et al. 2014)发表以来墨西哥北部飞虱(半翅目:飞虱总科)区系的变化。区系新增4科12种，4科属分配变化50次。最重要的动物群是斑点灯笼蝇(Lycorma delicatula (White))，据报道在14个州有种群，在另外3个州有流浪。我们回顾了一些命名和分类学问题，并提供了一份可能代表未报告或未描述的物种的异常记录清单，这些记录需要进一步调查。总的来说，这些增加和变化(不包括异常记录)使13科的飞虱总数达到175属924种，在2014年提供的总数中净增加了1科8属10种。

ABSTRACT Carpocoris mediterraneus is a polyphagous vegetarian. Adult females of C. mediterraneus were collected in Aksu, Antalya, in June 2018. In this study, the morphological structures of female reproductive system of C. mediterraneus, which has not been studied before, was investigated under light and electron microscopies. The female reproductive system of C. mediterraneus was composed of a pair of ovaries, lateral oviducts, a common oviduct, accessory gland and spermatheca. Each ovary consisted of six telotrophic meroistic type ovarioles. Each ovariole consisted a terminal filament, germarium, vitellarium, and pedicel. In the germarium region, there was a trophic core, trophocytes, young oocytes and prefollicular cells. Vitellarium contained three oocytes at various stages of maturity (previtelogenesis, vitellogenesis, choriogenesis). The ovarioles were connected via pedicels to a pair of short lateral oviducts and subsequently to a common oviduct. The spermatheca of C. mediterraneus consisted a spermathecal bulb, a pumping region, the distal duct, dilation region, proximal duct and genital chamber. The spermathecal bulb was oval in shape and strongly chitinized. Its lumen typically contains a large number of spermatozoa.

ABSTRACT Bees are indispensable living components of ecosystems because of the pollination services they offer. In this respect, it is important to determine the extent of host plant specialization by evaluating their pollen diet, information that can easily be gathered by analyzing the pollen content of their nests. Here we examined two Xylocopa (Copoxyla) iris (Christ, 1791) nests from different provinces in Turkey to identify the relationship between the surrounding vegetation and the possible pollinator or forager X. iris, a species for which there is limited available pollen preference data. We investigated the larval provisions and pollen content of these nests and compared pollen content with the pollen of the surrounding vegetation. In addition, we inspected the nest architecture and nesting biology and reviewed extant information about the distribution of this species in Turkey. Our investigation found that both nests were unbranched with 7-8 cells, each containing seven individuals at different stages of development. Pollen analysis revealed that plants of the families Fabaceae and Lamiaceae were most preferred by X. iris. These findings suggest that even though the nectar and pollen foraging behavior of this species is known to be polylectic, their larval diet choices might be much more specialized.
