This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study, the first in an intended series of anatomical investigations of the blister beetles, was undertaken primarily for the purpose of determining the changes that occur in the skeletal musculature during postembryonic larval development. The species studied, Epicauta segmenta (Say), like others belong ing to the coleopterous family Meloidae, is characterized by hypermetamor phosis (SELANDER and WEDDLE, 1969). The egg develops into an active, well sclerotized larva that searches for grasshopper eggs, which, as in the case of all species of Epicauta, serve as the sole larval food. This triungulin phase of the larval stage, as it is called, is followed by the first grub phase (Fig. 1), during which the larva continues to feed and undergoes several molts. After feeding is completed the larva commonly enters a sessile, diapausing coarctate phase in which the integument is heavily sclerotized and the appendages, including the legs, are vestigial (Fig. 2). Following this the larva attains an active second grub phase (Fig. 3) closely resembling the first grub phase in external anatomy. Normally, the second grub phase leads directly to pupation and the formation of the adult. An alternate, abbreviated developmental pattern, involving pupation immediately after the first grub phase, is also recorded in this and many other species of Epicauta.

Download or read book Ordnung Coleoptera LARVEN written by B. Klausnitzer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-14 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seit der Herausgabe des umfassenden Werkes von GHJLAROV (1964) über die boden bewohnenden Insektenlarven hat sich unser Wissen über Käferlarven bedeutend erweitert. GHJLAROV führt bei gleicher Auffassung der Familien in seinem Familien schlüssel 70 Taxa an (hier 93). Nach den Tabellen der einzelnen Familien sind durch sein Buch ca. 470 Gattungen bestimmbar (hier 653). Außerdem wurden in den vorliegenden Band 16 Familien aufgenommen, für die GHJLAROV keinen Gattungs schlüssel bringt. Es ist nicht möglich gewesen, Tabellen bis zur Art (wie bei GHJLA ROV} aufzunehmen. Für später ist eine Fortführung dieses Buches geplant, und es sollen Bestimmungstabellen bis zu den Arten geschaffen werden. Auf den ersten Blick mag es verwunderlich erscheinen, wenn Familien, die vor wiegend in Pilzen leben (z. B. Mycetophagidae), Bewohner faulenden Holzes (z. B. Serropalpidae) oder Familien, die vorwiegend in der Kraut- und Strauchschicht leben (z. B. Ooccinellidae) in dieses Buch aufgenommen wurden. Tatsächlich ist es aber so, daß alle hier behandelten Familien in Material aus Bodenfallen mehr oder minder regelmäßig gefunden werden. Die eigentlich nicht zur Fauna des Bodens oder der Bodenoberfläche gehörenden Ooccinellidae wurden beispielsweise mit 15,4% aller Käferlarven bei einer Untersuchung über die epigäische Fauna von Fichtenwäldern nachgewiesen. Es wurde darauf verzichtet, dieser Arbeit eine ver gleichende Morphologie der Coleopte;renlarven voranzustellen. Die wesentlichsten Bestimmungsmerkmale werden anschlieQend in einer kurzen Übersicht erläutert. Ziel des vorliegenden Buches ist eine möglichst leichte Diagnose von Käferlarven.

Download or read book Ichnoentomology written by Jorge Fernando Genise and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 707 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the ichnology of insects, and associated trace fossils, in soils and paleosols. The traces described here, mostly nests and pupation chambers, include one of the most complex architectures produced by animals. Chapters explore the walls, shapes and fillings of trace fossils followed by their classifications and ichnotaxonomy. Detailed descriptions and interpretations for different groups of insects like bees, ants, termites, dung beetles and wasps are also provided. Chapters also highlight the the paleoenvironmental significance of insect trace fossils in paleosols for paleontological reconstructions, sedimentological interpretation, and ichnofabrics analysis. Readers will discover how insect trace fossils act as physical evidence for reconstructing the evolution of behavior, phylogenies, past geographical distributions, and to know how insects achieved some of the more complex architectures. The book will appeal to researchers and graduate students in ichnology, sedimentology, paleopedology, and entomology and readers interested in insect architecture.

G. D. May 1976 Part III THEORDERSOFINSECTS THE CLASSIFICATION AND PHYLOGENY OF INSECTS The classification of insects has passed through many changes and with the growth of detailed knowledge an increasing number of orders has come to be recognized. Handlirsch (1908) and Wilson and Doner (1937) have reviewed the earlier attempts at classification, among which the schemes of Brauer (1885), Sharp (1899) and Borner (1904) did much to define the more distinctive recent orders. In 1908 Handlirsch published a more revolutionary system, incorporating recent and fossil forms, which gave the Collembola, Thysanura and Diplura the status of three independent Arthropodan classes and considered as separate orders such groups as the Sialoidea, Raphidioidea, Heteroptera and Homoptera. He also split up the old order Orthoptera, gave its components ordinal rank and regrouped them with some of the other orders into a subclass Orthopteroidea and another subclass Blattaeformia.
