Download or read book A Revision of the Genus Deraeocoris Kirschbaum Heteroptera Miridae from Western America North of Mexico microform written by Razafimahatratra, Vincent de Paul and published by Ann Arbor, Mich. : University Microfilms International. This book was released on 1981 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genus Deraeocoris Kirschbaum of western America north of Mexico was revised. Approximately 10,000 specimens from the Nearctic Region were examined. Taxonomic characters used by previous authors were reevaluated. In addition to the male parameres, the male vesica and the female posterior wall of the bursa copulatrix and sclerotized rings were used extensively in distinguishing species. Even though the species of this genus are predaceous, known host plants were used to assess the distribution of the species. Six species-groups are recognized based on comparative, quantitative and cladistic analysis of morphological and ecological characteristics. Forty-four species and one subspecies are known to occur in western North America. Five new species, Deraeocoris fraserensis, D. cochise, D. gilensis, D. knightonius, and D. schuhi are described. D. incertus variety picipes Knight is given species status. The following synonymies are proposed: D. rufusculus Knight = D. incertus Knight, D. pilosus Knight = D. fulvescens (Reuter), D. californicus Knight = D. cerachates Uhler, D. incertus variety carneolus Knight = D. picipes Knight. The remaining varieties named by H.H. Knight are recognized only as color forms of their respective nominal species. Until more specimens are secured and its range assessed accurately, D. barberi hesperus is retained as a subspecies of D. barberi, even though it shows some differences in the shape of the posterior wall of the bursa copulatrix. The male and female genitalia were found to be useful taxonomic characters for the genus. Intraspecific variation of the characters appeared to be significantly smaller when mature specimens are compared. Most species breed on one or several host plant species within a given type of habitat. The incertus and barberi groups breed exclusively on conifers. The remaining groups live on dictyledonous shrubs or trees. Many species are known to feed on aphids, chermids, psocids and coccids. Several species, including D. brevis and D. nebulosus, are of importance in the control of some orchard pests.

Download or read book Aphids on the World s Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs 2 Volume Set written by R. L. Blackman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 1460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphids are well-known as pests of agriculture, horticulture and forestry, but they are also one of the most biologically interesting groups of plant-feeding insects, and thus have attracted the attention of biologists in many research fields such as ecology, biodiversity, physiology, behaviour and genetics. Following the successful format of previous books on the world's aphids by the same authors, these two volumes provide a comprehensive species-by-species account of the aphids on the world's herbaceous plants and shrubs. They can be used not only as an identification guide and information source for entomologists and taxonomists throughout the world, but also as a unique database for studies of biodiversity and insect-plant relationships. In all, 3120 aphid species in 340 genera are covered, feeding on 2150 genera of host plants. Volume 1 features comprehensive host lists and keys to the aphids colonizing each plant genus. This information is supplemented in Volume 2 by a systematic account of all the aphid species, which provides information on their appearance in life, host range, geographical distribution and life cycles. There are 357 original line drawings, 252 photographs of slide-mounted specimens and 1000 references. Aphids on the World's Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs is the culmination of many years of work by two leading specialists and provides an essential research tool and standard reference work for entomologists in universities and research institutes throughout the world.

Book excerpt: "We review the North American cicada fauna providing information on synonymies, type localities, and type material. There are 170 species and 21 subspecies found in continental North America north of Mexico. The species represent 16 genera from eight tribes in three subfamilies within the family Cicadidae. The following six new synonymies are made: Tibicen ochreopterus (Uhler) into Diceroprocta cintifera cinctifera (Uhler), D. semicincta nigricans Davis into D. semicincata (Davis) Tibicen linnei var. (F.) into T. linnei (Smith and Grossbeck), Platypedia gressiti Kato and Platypedia minsi Johnson and Leydig into P. Minor Uhler, Okanagana consobrina Distant into Okanagana vanduzeei, and Okanagana striatipes beameri into Okanagana hesperia (Uhler). Okanagana roundifrons Davis is transferred to Clidopheleps rotundifrons n. comb. Seventeen species are removed from the fauna of North America north of Mexico."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume One of the thoroughly revised and updated guide to the study of biodiversity in insects The second edition of Insect Biodiversity: Science and Society brings together in one comprehensive text contributions from leading scientific experts to assess the influence insects have on humankind and the earth’s fragile ecosystems. Revised and updated, this new edition includes information on the number of substantial changes to entomology and the study of biodiversity. It includes current research on insect groups, classification, regional diversity, and a wide range of concepts and developing methodologies. The authors examine why insect biodiversity matters and how the rapid evolution of insects is affecting us all. This book explores the wide variety of insect species and their evolutionary relationships. Case studies offer assessments on how insect biodiversity can help meet the needs of a rapidly expanding human population, and also examine the consequences that an increased loss of insect species will have on the world. This important text: Explores the rapidly increasing influence on systematics of genomics and next-generation sequencing Includes developments in the use of DNA barcoding in insect systematics and in the broader study of insect biodiversity, including the detection of cryptic species Discusses the advances in information science that influence the increased capability to gather, manipulate, and analyze biodiversity information Comprises scholarly contributions from leading scientists in the field Insect Biodiversity: Science and Society highlights the rapid growth of insect biodiversity research and includes an expanded treatment of the topic that addresses the major insect groups, the zoogeographic regions of biodiversity, and the scope of systematics approaches for handling biodiversity data.
