Download or read book Revision of the Plant Bug Genus Rhinacloa Reuter with a Phylogenetic Analysis Hemiptera Miridae written by Randall T. Schuh and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The genus Rhinacloa Reuter is revised. Thirty-seven species are included, 17 of which are described as new. Campylomma cardini Barber and Bruner, Europiella mella Van Duzee, Psallus incaicus Carvalho and Gomes, Psallus insularis Carvalho, Psallus longirostris Carvalho, Psallus usingeri Carvalho and Sthenarus basalis Reuter are transferred to Rhinacloa. The following new synonymies are created: Rhinacloa antennalis (Reuter) = Rhinacloa melanotelus Reuter; Rhinacloa clavicornis (Reuter) = Rhinacloa subpallicornis Knight and Rhinacloa lepagei Carvalho; Rhinacloa forticornis Reuter = Psallus minutulus Reuter and Rhinacloa incerta Reuter; Rhinacloa basalis (Reuter), new combination = Rhinacloa pallida Reuter, Rhinacloa pusillus (Knight), and Rhinacloa castanea Carvalho; Rhinacloa pallidipes Maldonaldo = Lepidopsallus riodocensis Carvalho and Rhinacloa punctipes Maldonaldo. Demarata mirifica Distant is treated as a species incertae sedis. Rhinacloa araguaiana Carvalho is transferred to Paramixia Reuter (Pilophorini). Lygus ordinatus Distant is placed in Ellenia Reuter (Phylini). Illustrations are presented for the antennae and male genitalic structures of most known Rhinacloa species; scanning electron micrographs are presented for the pretarsus and scale-like setae of many species. A key to separate the included species is included. A phylogenetic analysis of the species is presented, using Campylomma verbasci Meyer-D|r, Microphylidea prosopidis Knight, and Nigrimiris pallipes Carvalho and Schaffner for outgroup comparison. Distributional maps are provided for all species, indicating a range for Rhinacloa from the southwestern United States, the Caribbean including the Florida Keys, (with three widely distributed species occurring in Florida), the Galapagos Islands, and south to northern Argentina and central Chile. Rhinacloa forticornis is introduced into Hawaii"--Page 382
Download or read book Biology of the Plant Bugs Hemiptera Miridae written by Alfred George Wheeler and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant bugs--Miridae, the largest family of the Heteroptera, or true bugs--are globally important pests of crops such as alfalfa, apple, cocoa, cotton, sorghum, and tea. Some also are predators of crop pests and have been used successfully in biological control. Certain omnivorous plant bugs have been considered both harmful pests and beneficial natural enemies of pests on the same crop, depending on environmental conditions or the perspective of an observer.As high-yielding varieties that lack pest resistance are planted, mirids are likely to become even more important crop pests. They also threaten crops as insecticide resistance in the family increases, and as the spread of transgenic crops alters their populations. Predatory mirids are increasingly used as biocontrol agents, especially of greenhouse pests such as thrips and whiteflies. Mirids provide abundant opportunities for research on food webs, intraguild predation, and competition.Recent worldwide activity in mirid systematics and biology testifies to increasing interest in plant bugs. The first thorough review and synthesis of biological studies of mirids in more than 60 years, Biology of the Plant Bugs will serve as the basic reference for anyone studying these insects as pests, beneficial IPM predators, or as models for ecological research.
Download or read book True Bugs Heteroptera of the Neotropics written by Antônio R. Panizzi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 904 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True bugs (Heteroptera) are a diverse and complex group of plant-feeding and predatory insects important to food production, human health, the global economy and the environment. Within the nearly 43,000 species described around the world, Neotropical true bugs are particularly diverse, and much remains to be discovered about their biology and relations with other species. Inspired by the need for a comprehensive assessment, True Bugs (Heteroptera) of the Neotropics is the most complete and thorough review ever published. Experts in each of the seven infraorders have drawn together the scattered literature to provide detailed treatments of each major taxon. The most common and important species as well as select lesser known species in each major family are covered, highlighting morphology, classification, biology and ecology. The numerous color illustrations highlight key species and their adaptations, and importance to basic and applied sciences is discussed. Each chapter is based on an up-to-date review of the literature, and with a bibliography of more than 3,000 references, readers are presented with an unprecedented and vital and timely account of the true bugs of the Neotropical Region.
Download or read book Catalog of the Heteroptera or True Bugs of Canada and the Continental United States written by Thomas J. Henry and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 980 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A primary aim of this catalog is to offer an accounting for each species as originally proposed and for the first usage only of all its name combinations (including valid names, synonymies, and misspellings) that have been published for our area. We follow the policy outlined by the 1985 Code of Zoological Nomenclature for nonmenclatorial proposes that a dissertation for an advanced educational degree is not published unless it satisfies the criteria present in Articles 8 and 9.
Download or read book True Bugs of the World Hemiptera Heteroptera written by Randall T. Schuh and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monumental reference work treats an entire worldwide order of insects. It summarizes, from both a biological and sytematic perspective, current knowledge on the Heteroptera, or true bugs, a group containing approximately 35,000 species, many of which are important to agriculture and public health. To introduce the reader to this group, Randall T. Schuh and James A. Slater offer chapters on the history of the study of the Heteroptera, research techniques, and sources of specimens. They also cover attributes of general biological interest, including habitats, habits, mimicry, and wing polymorphism; selected taxa of economic importance; and basic morphology.Presenting a current classification of the Heteroptera, the authors synthesize to the subfamily and sometimes tribal level the enormous, scattered literature, including diagnoses, keys, general natural history, a summary of distributions, and a listing of important faunistic works. In addition to a wealth of detailed illustrations, they provide a glossary to help the reader deal with the confusing terminology that has evolved over the years, as well as an extensive bibliography of more than 1350 entries.Meticulously prepared by two of the world's leading specialists, this major work will be the standard reference on the Heteroptera for many years to come.

Download or read book Neotropical Biogeography written by Juan J. Morrone and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neotropical Biogeography: Regionalization and Evolution presents the most comprehensive single-source treatment of the Neotropical region derived from evolutionary biogeographic studies. The book provides a biogeographic regionalization based on distributional patterns of plant and animal taxa, discusses biotic relationships drawn from track and cladistic biogeographic analyses, and identifies cenocrons (subsets of taxa within biotas identified by their common origin and evolutionary history). It includes maps, area cladograms and vegetation profiles. The aim of this reference is to provide a biogeographic regionalization that can be used by graduate students, researchers and other professionals concerned with understanding and describing distributional patterns of plants and animals in the Neotropical region. It covers the 53 biogeographic provinces of the Neotropical region that are classified into the Antillean, Brazilian and Chacoan subregions, and the Mexican and South American transition zones.
