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.

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.

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","PeriodicalId":54576,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42845977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recent discovery of larvae as stem and petiole miners in Colocasia esculenta var. esculenta Schott (Araceae) in Costa Rica provided the impetus for the study of Cacographis Lederer in Central America. Adults were reared and identified as Cacographis osteolalis osteolalis (Lederer, 1863), the taro snout moth (newly coined here). Because most of the feeding is internal, external reactions by the plant are described and illustrated for diagnosis in taro plantations. Additionally, based on evidence of external morphology, male genitalia, and COI barcodes, we elevate the Central American Cacographis osteolalis azteca Munroe to the rank of species, C. azteca, revised status. In addition to C. undulalis Schaus that is endemic to Costa Rica, two additional taxa, C. azteca, and the nominotypical subspecies, C. osteolalis osteolalis, are also reported to occur in Costa Rica. The larva of the genus Cacographis is described for the first time in the subfamily Midilinae, a member of the “wet habitat clade” in the Crambidae. The larvae have bisetose lateral setae on the prothorax that differ greatly in length, and highly modified abdominal segments eight and nine, with spiracles for respiration facing posteriorly that have not been reported elsewhere in the Pyraloidea. Cacographis larvae are compared to those of Midila Walker, and images of the larval morphology are provided. Resumen.
