Abstract. During collections made in 2019 and 2020 at different localities in the Sierra Norte de Puebla (Northern Sierra of Puebla), Mexico, some odonate specimens, representing new state records of three genera and 16 species, were captured. Among the new records there are little known species such as Erpetogomphus erici (Novelo and Garrison, 1999), E. liopeltis (Garrison, 1994) and Phyllocycla breviphylla (Belle, 1975). Furthermore, new localities are recorded for uncommon species, such as Paraphlebia zoe (Selys in Hagen, 1861), Argia percellulata (Calvert, 1902) and Erpetogomphus viperinus (Selys, 1868). These records add to the already known species richness of the state of Puebla, increasing it from 110 to 126 species. As a result, the state of Puebla is now in tenth place nationally in terms of species richness.
摘要在2019年和2020年在墨西哥北普埃布拉山脉(普埃布拉北部山脉)的不同地点进行的采集中,捕获了一些齿形动物标本,代表了三属16种的新州记录。在新记录中,有一些鲜为人知的物种,如Erpetogomphus erici(Novelo和Garrison,1999)、E.liopellis(Garrison)(1994)和Phylloycla breviphylla(Belle,1975)。此外,不常见物种的新地点也有记录,如副静脉虫(Selys in Hagen,1861)、斑尾鱼(Argia percellulata,Calvert,1902)和斑尾蛇(Erpetogomphus viperinus,Selys,1868)。这些记录增加了普埃布拉州已知的物种丰富度,使其从110种增加到126种。因此,就物种丰富度而言,普埃布拉州目前在全国排名第十。

Abstract. Diaphorina citri is considered the most serious pest of citrus. It transmits the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter spp., which causes Huanglongbing disease. Augmentation biological control of D. citri involves the release of the parasitoid Tamarixia radiata and entomopathogenic fungi. The following potential predators were evaluated in the present study: Ceraeochrysa valida, Ceraeochrysa sp. nr. cincta, Chrysoperla externa and Chrysoperla rufilabris. The evaluated parameters included maximum predation rate, functional response, handling time and search time. C. externa showed the highest predation rate (274.1 ± 3.1a). The correlation coefficient for the four species was higher than R2 = 0.95, while the linear coefficient P1 was negative and significant, indicating a type II functional response. The third instar of C. externa showed high search capacity (1.7905 ± 0.0737), while the first instar of C. valida was associated with low search capacity (0.6243 ± 0.1118). The highest and lowest values of handling time were recorded in the third (0.00891 ± 0.00105) and second instars (0.00931 ± 0.000075) of C. valida. The species C. rufilabris showed the highest search capacity value (1.3551 ± 0.0261) and the lowest handling time (0.00899 ± 0.00008904). The results show that the predatory capacity of the four species is a function of their stage of development and the density of the prey. The species C. externa and C. rufilabris showed to be the most suitable natural enemies for population regulation of D. citri. Resumen.

small group of nematocerous Diptera with three genera found in the United States: Sylvicola Harris, Mycetobia Meigen, and Olbiogaster (Peterson 1981). Although Sylvicola is common, Mycetobia and, especially, Olbiogaster are rarely seen as both adults and larvae. Here we describe an instance where multiple larvae of the genus Olbiogaster were collected. During fieldwork on trees killed by the invasive Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky)) in South Carolina (USA), ARR collected larvae of numerous insects from sections of felled red maples (Acer rubrum L.) for a university undergraduate project lead by EJR. Specimens of various unidentified larvae were brought to MAB for help with identification, and MAB noticed an unusual larva of a fly (Figs. 1–4). Based on the mouthparts and size, MAB recognized it as a member of the family Anisopodidae. Using the key to larvae of the family in Peterson (1981), the specimen was identified as belonging to the genus Olbiogaster. Over the course of the project, three larvae were found in total. All were collected from Hollywood, South Carolina (Charleston Co.), under the bark of recently felled red maples (A. rubrum) (see Fig. 5 for a photo of a representative site). Specimen #1 (first brought to MAB; Figs. 1–4) has the following associated information: Tree ARR 048 infested with Anoplophora glabripennis, 6.4 inches (16.256 cm) DBH leg.; located in bottomland site (32.77693176, -80.13489532) dominated by lizard’s tail (Saururus cernuus L.); tree cut down 12 May 2021, left whole on ground until 1 February 2022; larva collected 3 February 2022; tree not submerged in, or surrounded by, standing water during the time it was down (other parts of the site are prone to seasonal flooding). The two additional specimens have the following associated information: Tree ARR 036 infested with Anoplophora glabripennis, 11.9 inches (30.226 cm) DBH leg.; located in bottomland site (32.777267, -80.137435) dominated by rushes (Juncus effusus L.); tree was treated with Triclopyr (herbicide) via hack-and-squirt on May 11, 2021, and retreated on July 29, 2021 due to incomplete foliage dieback; tree was left standing but dead until 27 August 2021; larvae collected 29 August 2021; surrounded by standing water at time of treatment and at time of harvest, but the degree of flooding between those times was not observed and flooding in that part of the site varies by season. Olbiogaster is a genus with a largely Neotropical distribution, with over 50 extant species described, worldwide (Hancock 2017, Huerta et al. 2019), though Amorim and Tozoni (1995) suggested moving the Afrotropical and Oriental species of the genus to Eogaster Amorim and Tozoni and the Australasian species to Austrogaster Amorim and Tozoni. According to Peterson (1981), the Systema Dipterorum (http:// www.diptera.org/), and USNM specimens (Torsten Dikow, Curator of Diptera Smithsonian Institution, in litt.), three species of Olbiogaster are found

Abstract. Ridens is a genus of about 20 described species of neotropical skipper butterflies to which we add Ridens conservationinternationalis Burns and Grishin, new species. We describe it from wild-caught caterpillars, what they eat, pupae, reared adults, genitalia, nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, and the Z chromosome. The type-series of this skipper comes from mid-elevation (510–980 m) rain forest on the Caribbean slope of the Cordillera Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica. (One male has been taken in Darien in eastern Panama.) To date, caterpillars have been found on just three species in two genera (Persea and Beilschmiedia) of Lauraceae. The head of immature stages is unusual with respect to larval color pattern and pupal morphology. Adult facies differs from those of congeners, and male genitalia differ sharply from those of the other species of Ridens reared in Area de Conservation Guanacaste (ACG). Three phylogenetic trees based on genomic data show that R. conservationinternationalis is well-removed from described species of Ridens but close to a similar-looking male of an undescribed species from Peru. (Tangentially, we undo the polytypic status of R. crison by reinstating R. cachinnans as a species instead of subspecies and newly raising R. howarthi from subspecies to species.)

Born in Palo Alto, CA on September 30, 1950 and raised in Monterey, he received his undergraduate degree in entomology from UC Davis in 1972 and earned his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in 1978 under Dr. Howell Daly. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Charles D. Michener at the University of Kansas (1978–1979), he worked first as an assistant professor of biology at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard (1979–1982) and then joined the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History in 1983. It was at the Smithsonian where I assisted in his noteworthy revision of the halictid genus Lasioglossum s.s., which was hailed for its detailed identification keys incorporating numerous scanning electron micrographs. Ron was delightful to work with, and we quickly bonded over our shared interests in native bees and rock music, of which he had an encyclopedic knowledge. On one of his first days at the museum, I tuned the office radio to the now-defunct station WHFS, and an entire hour of songs about bees commenced, surely an encouraging sign. Our friendship continued over the decades until his death. His many important publications included “A catalog and review of immature Apoidea (Hymenoptera)” (McGinley 1989) and, as co-author with Michener and Bryan Danforth, “The Bee Genera of North and Central America (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)” (Michener et al. 1994). His paper “Glossal morphology of the Colletidae and recognition of the Stenotritidae at the family level (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)” (McGinley 1980) led to a change in this family’s place in the phylogeny of the Apoidea as a more derived group than previously considered, a position later confirmed by molecular studies. Ron was always extremely generous with his time and knowledge, and eager to share his own fascination with native bees with interested students. He was an organizer and early instructor of the annual “Bee Course” held at the American Museum of Natural History’s Southwest Research Station in Portal, Arizona. Ron also applied his penchant for classification to playful subjects. He constructed a key to Volkswagen Beetles using their windows, vents, and light housings as characters to distinguish the various model years; a chart of country music songs grouped by the various personal travails common to the genre; and a vast spreadsheet of songs that mention plants and animals, arranged by taxa, titled “A Natural History of Rock & Roll.” Ron married fellow SI employee Kate Smith in 1991, and his affinity for animals made him an avid supporter of her numerous animal rescue and wildlife rehab efforts. Ron had many animal friends. Among the most memorable was his “house opossum” Opie, a favorite of many house guests. He often bestowed whimsical monikers on the members of Kate’s menagerie, a favorite being the longhaired Peruvian guinea pig he dubbed Fabio, after the well-known rom
他那一代受人尊敬的本土蜜蜂系统学家,在一场短暂的疾病后于2023年1月18日去世。他于1950年9月30日出生于加州帕洛阿尔托,在蒙特雷长大,1972年在加州大学戴维斯分校获得昆虫学学士学位,1978年在加州大学伯克利分校获得博士学位,师从豪威尔·戴利博士。在完成堪萨斯大学查尔斯·d·米切纳博士的博士后研究后(1978-1979),他首先在哈佛大学比较动物学博物馆担任生物学助理教授(1979-1982),然后于1983年加入史密森学会的国家自然历史博物馆。就是在史密森尼学会,我协助他对海胆属Lasioglossum s.s进行了值得注意的修订,因为它包含了大量扫描电子显微图的详细鉴定钥匙而受到称赞。和罗恩一起工作很愉快,我们很快就对本地蜜蜂和摇滚乐产生了共同的兴趣,他对摇滚乐有着百科全书式的了解。在他来博物馆的第一天,我把办公室的收音机调到现已停播的WHFS电台,播放了整整一个小时关于蜜蜂的歌曲,这无疑是一个令人鼓舞的迹象。我们的友谊持续了几十年,直到他去世。他的许多重要出版物包括“未成熟的蜂科目(膜翅目)的目录和回顾”(McGinley 1989),以及与Michener和Bryan Danforth合著的“北美和中美洲的蜂属(膜翅目:蜂科目)”(Michener et al. 1994)。他的论文“Colletidae的舌形态学和在科水平上对窄翅小蜂科的认识(膜翅目:叶总科)”(McGinley 1980)导致了该科在叶总科系统发育中的地位的变化,使其成为一个比先前认为的更衍生的群体,这一立场后来被分子研究证实。罗恩总是非常慷慨地奉献自己的时间和知识,并渴望与感兴趣的学生分享他对本地蜜蜂的迷恋。他是在亚利桑那州波尔特的美国自然历史博物馆西南研究站举办的年度“蜜蜂课程”的组织者和早期讲师。罗恩还把他喜欢分类的嗜好应用到有趣的话题上。他用大众甲壳虫的窗户、通风口和灯罩作为字符来区分不同的车型年份;曲谱:乡村音乐歌曲的曲谱,按这一流派中常见的各种个人磨难进行分组;以及一个名为“摇滚自然史”(a Natural History of Rock & Roll)的庞大电子表格,里面收录了按分类群排列的提到植物和动物的歌曲。罗恩于1991年与SI的同事凯特·史密斯结婚,他对动物的喜爱使他成为她无数动物救援和野生动物康复工作的热心支持者。罗恩有许多动物朋友。其中最令人难忘的是他的“家庭负鼠”奥佩,这是许多客人的最爱。他经常给凯特动物园里的动物起一些稀奇古怪的名字,其中最喜欢的是一只长毛秘鲁豚鼠,他给它起名叫法比奥(Fabio),得名于著名的浪漫小说封面模特。PROC, ENTOMOL。SOC。洗。(4), 2012, pp. 889-890

Abstract. Three species of Lineodes Guenée were discovered feeding on four solanaceous host plants in Peru: L. integra Zeller on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), L. undulata Walsingham on aji (Capsicum baccatum L.) and sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), and L. vulcanalis Landry on wild tobacco (Nicotiana glauca Graham). Lineodes integra, the most well-known and widely distributed species in the Western Hemisphere, reportedly feeds on a wide diversity of solanaceous plants, but this is the first report of host plants for L. undulata and L. vulcanalis. Sexual dimorphism in L. undulata and L. vulcanalis is reported for the first time, and this is the first report of L. undulata since it was described from Peru over 100 years ago. Additional new Peruvian Lineodes species, Lineodes leuschneri Solis, new species, and Lineodes ravenalis Solis, new species, discovered at the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC, are described. A lectotype is newly designated for Lineodes contortalis Guenée, 1854 described from Brazil. Images of adults and their genitalia, as well as some of the immatures, are provided. Resumen.

Lineodes integra, se informa que es la especie más conocida y ampliamente distribuída en el hemisferio occidental, se alimenta de una amplia diversidad de plantas solanáceas, pero este es el primer reporte de plantas hospederas para L. undulata y L. vulcanalis. Se reporta por primera vez dimorfismo sexual en L. undulata and L. vulcanalis, y es es el primer reporte de L. undulata desde que fue descrita de Perú hace más de 100 años. Dos nuevas especies peruanas de Lineodes leuschneri Solis, nueva especie, and L. ravenalis Solis, nueva especie, descubiertas en El Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Washington, DC, se describen en este documento.

Abstract. Deadwood is a heterogenous, globally important habitat associated with high biodiversity. Surveys and inventories are important to discover which species require what deadwood resources. In the Tunica Hills region of Louisiana an emergence study designed for Coleoptera was conducted using various decay classes of fine and coarse woody debris collected in least-disturbed (Tunica Hills Wildlife Management Area) and secondary (Feliciana Preserve) forests. Aradidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) bycatch totaled 258 specimens representing six species. Aradid communities did not differ significantly between the two forests. Neuroctenus pseudonymus Bergroth was significantly associated with weathered fine woody debris whereas Aradus ornatus Say was significantly associated with both coarse woody debris decay class 2 and weathered fine woody debris. A serendipitous collection of Aradus duzeei Bergroth from the exterior of an emergence chamber represents a new state record. Emergence, while time consuming, is a viable way to augment Aradidae surveys and discover habitat preferences.
