    查看更多>>摘要：The Afrotropical Bengalia spinifemorata species-group is revised and their male genitalia illustrated by means of digital colour photography. Six species are recognized and keyed, and their geographical distribution reconsidered, i.e., Bengalia akamanga (Lehrer, 2005), comb. nov. (Malawi); B. racovitzai (Lehrer, 2005) (Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya); B. seniorwhitei (Lehrer, 2005) (Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda); B. smarti (Lehrer, 2005), comb.nov. (Democratic Republic of Congo, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe); B. spinifemorata Villeneuve, 1913 (Democratic Republic of Congo) and B. wangariae (Lehrer, 2005), comb. nov. (Democratic Republic of Congo). Maraviola congoliana Lehrer, 2005, M. samburella Lehrer, 2005, M. amlaka Lehrer & Freidberg, 2008, M danakiliqna Lehrer & Freidberg, 2008, and M. akufulana Lehrer, 2011 are recognized as synonyms of Bengalia seniorwhitei, syn. nov. The genus group names Sindhigalia Lehrer, 2006 and Anshuniana Lehrer & Wei, 2010 are reduced to synonyms of Bengalia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, syn. nov. The distiphallus is described in detail and new morphological terms introduced. Ten synapomorphies defining the B. spinifemorata species-group are listed. A re-assignment of the Oriental species B.fani Feng & Wei, 1998 to the Afrotropical B. spinifemorata species-group to replace its current position in the B. peuhi species-group is rejected since B.fani shares none of the ten synapomorphies of the former group.

    查看更多>>摘要：A review of Acanthocephala of America north of Mexico is presented with an updated key to species. A. confraterna is considered a junior synonym of A. terminalis, thus reducing the number of known species in this region from five to four. New state and country records are presented. The genus Acanthocephala Laporte currently is represented in America north of Mexico by five species: Acanthocephala (Acanthocephala) declivis (Say), A. (Metapodiessa) confraterna (Uhler), A. (M.) femorata (Fabricius), A.(M.) terminalis (Dallas), and A. (M.) thomasi (Uhler) (Froeschner 1988). A. terminalis has the widest distribution, including much of the Midwest. A. confraterna has been reported from the Carolinas south to Florida and west to Texas and A. thomasi fromTexas to California. A. declivis and A. femorata are primarily southern but have been reported as far north as Missouri (A. declivis) and Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri (A. femorata) (Froeschner 1988).

    Two new genera and species of fossil true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pachymeridiidae) from northeastern China

    查看更多>>摘要：Two new genera and new species, Peregrinpachymeridium comitcola gen. et sp. nov. and Corollpachymeridium heter-oneurus gen. et sp. nov., of fossil Pachymeridiidae are described and illustrated from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation in DaohugouVillage, Shantou Township, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. We summarized all fossil genera of pachymeridiids found in China and set up a key to these 7 genera and 7 species. In addition, we hypothesize the significance of a rare, well-preserved, unusual bug fossil showing a male and a female together with their abdomen terminalia facing each other and their heads in the opposite direction.

    Catalog of Chilean Pentatominae Leach, 1815 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

    EDUARDO I. FAUNDEZMARIOM A. CARVAJAL
    8页
    查看更多>>摘要：The Chilean Pentatominae species are listed and catalogued; a total of 18 species have been accounted. Additionally 3 species present doubtful or incomplete records. Most of the species are endemic to South America; 2 species are considered introducedin Chile, and 6 species are exclusively Chilean. Pentatomidae Leach, 1815 is one of the largest families within the Heteroptera, with about 4100 species classified in 760 genera, and Pentatominae is the largest subfamily of Pentatomidae (Schuh & Slater1995). Species of Pentatominae are phytophages, and there are species of economic importance (Schaefer & Panizzi 2000), used for food and medicine (Hoffmann 1947), and used in current climatic change studies (Musolin 2007).

    New species and records of Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Brazil

    ALLEN L. NORRBOMMANOEL A. UCHOA

    查看更多>>摘要：Three new species of Anastrepha from Brazil are described and illustrated: A. matogrossensis Norrbom & Uchoa (from Mato Grosso), A. oiapoquensis Norrbom & Uchoa (from Amapa), and A. siculigera Norrbom & Uchoa (from Amapa). Anastrepha rafaeli Norrbom &Korytkowski also is reported from the state of Tocantins. Anastrepha Schiner is the most diverse genus of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the American tropics and sub-tropics with more than 230 described species (Norrbom 2004a, Norrbom & Korytkowski 2009), more than 100 of which are known from Brazil (Zucchi 2000b, Zucchi 2008, Uchoa & Nicacio 2010). Anastrepha is also the most economically important genus of fruit flies in this region, including a number of major fruit pests (Norrbom 2004b).
