ABSTRACT A survey of Bariditae in Mississippi resulted in 75 species in 32 genera and included two undescribed species and 36 new state records. An additional two species were recognized as possibly occurring in Mississippi. Diagnoses for all of the genera and species in the state are provided, and keys to the genera as well as all of the species were made. Species were found in every county within Mississippi and are representative of the Bariditae fauna of the southeastern United States. Open, prairie-like habitats and aquatic wetlands were the habitats with the highest biodiversity of Bariditae in the state. Species of Baris, Geraeus, Linogeraeus, and Odontocorynus were found in the highest numbers, and Linogeraeus and Sibariops were found to be the most speciose genera in the state. Sibariops amica, S. benigna, and S. houstoni, are proposed as new synonyms of S. concinna. New state records are included for Mississippi as well as Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisisna, Maryland, Missouri, North Caolina, and Tennessee.

ABSTRACT Aquatic macroinvertebrate sampling in Nantucket streams produced a fauna typical of northeastern first-order low-gradient intermittent and perennial streams. Most taxa appear to be stream-specific, and as such would be particularly susceptible to stream disturbances. Abundance is low overall, with a few exceptions. Stream chemistry measurements fall within expected ranges for developed areas. Dissolved oxygen level, discharge and flow regime may be limiting factors in most of the streams.

ABSTRACT When reviewing the species of Agapetus Curtis in eastern and central North America, we discovered previously unknown pores and ducts in abdominal segment VIII of the females. Evidence suggests that the pores and ducts are part of caddisfly colleterial glands and have a role in oviposition. Examples are described and illustrated for 26 of the 42 known North American species.

Abstract The Cabo Verde Islands, a tropical Atlantic archipelago west of Senegal, West Africa, is the southernmost part of Macaronesia, a biogeographic subregion that also includes the archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira, and the Canary Islands. We surveyed ants at 238 sites on the nine inhabited islands of Cabo Verde, collecting a total of 33 ant species, including 11 previously unreported species. Published, previously unpublished, and new records of ants from Cabo Verde now total 39 species. Only three species, Camponotus occasus, Cardiocondyla n. sp., and Monomorium boltoni, are known Cabo Verde endemics, though three unidentified species may also be endemics. An additional 24 species are apparently native to the Afrotropical and/or Palearctic biogeographic realms. Most are likely to be native to Cabo Verde, including Brachyponera sennaarensis, a widespread and conspicuous ant in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, well known for its painful sting. Nine of the Afrotropical/Palearctic species are well known tramp ants, widely spread around the world through human commerce: Cardiocondyla emeryi, Hypoponera punctatissima, Hypoponera ragusai, Pheidole megacephala, Strumigenys membranifera, Technomyrmex pallipes, Tetramorium caldarium, Tetramorium simillimum, and Trichomyrmex destructor. It is unclear which of these species are native to Cabo Verde and which are exotic. Seven ant species thought to originate in the Indomalay and/or Australasian realms are almost certainly exotic to Cabo Verde: Cardiocondyla obscurior, Monomorium floricola, Paratrechina longicornis, Strumigenys emmae, Syllophopsis sechellensis, Tapinoma melanocephalum, and Tetramorium bicarinatum. Finally, two species, Brachymyrmex cordemoyi and Solenopsis globularia, are the only ants found in Cabo Verde known to be exotic New World species. Records of six previously reported species, Cardiocondyla nigra, Carebara vorax, Lepisiota capensis, Pheidole punctulata, Solenopsis innota, and Technomyrmex albipes, appear to be misidentifications of Cardiocondyla n. sp., Solenopsis orbula, Lepisiota canescens, Pheidole megacephala, Solenopsis globularia, and Technomyrmex pallipes, respectively. Tramp ants, which are extremely common in Cabo Verde, have probably had a great impact on the endemic and native ants. In fact, M. boltoni may now be extinct, exterminated by P. megacephala, a highly destructive invasive ant species, which was the most commonly collected ant in Cabo Verde. Numerous Cabo Verde residents reported being attacked by another invasive tramp ant, Trichomyrmex destructor. Given the number of species we found two or fewer times (14 of 39 species), we expect that multiple ant species probably remain undetected.

Abstract. Spermathecae of the type species of six subgenera in the genus Cassida Linnaeus, 1758 have been studied and figured. Spermathecal structures of these species on the base of 24 specified characters were evaluated in detail under both stereo microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It is demonstrated that the characteristics of the spermathecal structure obtained particularly with SEM studies can be used at almost all taxonomic level diagnostically. It is obvious that the characteristics, however, will have different values for different taxonomic categories. As a result of this study, in spermathecae, vasculum, ampulla, ductus glandula auxiliaris and ductus spermatheca are generally constant in shape within species, but distinctive and useful in comparison with other species. As an important output of the study, it is observed that the type species and therefore the subgenera can be divided chiefly into 3 diverse group based on spermathecal structures: C. seraphina in C. (Alledoya) and C. nebusa in C. (s. str.) as Group I; C. nobilis in C. (Cassidulella) as Group II; C. viridis in C. (Odontionycha), C. brevis in C. (Onychocassis) and C. murrea in C. (Pseudocassida) as Group III. The new grouping is discussed previous groupings based on host plants and stereo microscopic abservations due to lack of available SEM studies. Eventually, the spermathecal structure of the species examined in this study was found to be distinctive not only at the subgenus level but also at the species level. According to the ultrastructure of spermatheca, it was revealed that the genus Cassida Linnaeus, 1758 is a polyphyletic group, not monophyletic. In addition, the key to the diagnosis, which is formed according to the general characters and external and spermatecal morphological features of adults of the studied species, is given.
