Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper represents the first part of a series dealing with the Eastern Hemisphere species of the genus Polymerus Hahn, 1831 and includes a redescription of the genus and the nominative subgenus, and descriptions of Pachycentrum subgen. nov., P. (Polymerus) russatus sp. nov. and P. (Pachycentrum) unciniger sp. nov. The specific name P. funestus Reuter, 1906 is transferred from the subgenus Poeciloscytus Fieber, 1858 to the nominative subgenus and synonymised with P.pekinensis Horváth, 1901. New combinations for seven African, Indian, and Australian species are proposed: Charagochilus aureus (Ballard, 1927) comb. nov., Ch. bimaculatus (Poppius, 1910) comb. nov., Ch. consanguineus (Distant, 1904) comb. nov., Ch. flavipes (Distant, 1904) comb. nov., Ch. madagascariensis (Poppius, 1914) comb. nov., Ch. obscuratus(Poppius, 1914) comb. nov., Proboscidocoris solitus (Walker, 1873) comb. nov. The species Polymerus nitidus (Odhiambo, 1959) is returned to the genus Proboscidocoris. Five African and Arabian species are included in the new genus Dichelocentrum gen. nov.: D. alkadanum (Linnavuori & van Harten, 2005) comb. nov., D. flora (Linnavuori & van Harten, 2005) comb. nov., D. longirostre (Reuter, 1905) comb. nov., D. ornatifrons (Odhiambo, 1959) comb. nov. and D. transvaalicum sp. nov. The specific name Polymerus xerophilus Linnavuori, 1975 syn. nov. is synonymised with D. ornatifronscomb. nov. Key, diagnoses, data on distribution, and illustrations of the parameres, entirely inflated vesica and the gynatrium are provided for all recognised species from the subgenera Polymerus, Pachycentrum subgen. nov. and the genusDichelocentrum gen. nov.

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 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 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.

Book excerpt: For the Natural History Museum - as with so many other organisations - the Great War brought unimagined change. Sixty-one members of staff serve in the military. Thirteen of them die. Routine work is suspended as, over the fouryears of the war, 14 government departments - from the Admiralty and the War Office to the Home Office and the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries - turn to the Museum for its scientific expertise and innovation.Its scientists are consulted on a huge range of issues from airship construction, how protective coloration in nature can be applied to war - we know it now as camouflage - to the roles of whales and seagulls in anti-bmarine warfare, and how to protect soldiers from the potentially deadly dangers of mosquitoes, flies and lice. The scientists' work is recorded month by month in their reports to the Museum Trustees. Through this remarkable archive, a diary of extraordinary endeavour and perseverance, Karolyn Shindler reveals how, for four years, the Natural History Museum played an unexpected and significant role in Britain's war effort.
