摘要:

Linnaeus described nine species ofMuscanow placed in the Tephritidae. The Linnaean Collection was examined; a syntype ofTephritis hyoscyamiand a possible syntype ofUrophora solstitialiswere identified. Syntypes ofTephritis arnicae, Urophora carduiandRhagolelis cerasiwere not found; specimens illustrated by Aldrovandi and de Reaumur are designated as lectotypes. No syntypic material ofEuleia heracleii, Oxyna parietina, Terellia serratulaeorEnsina sonchicould be found.

摘要:

Postcranial remains referable to the enigmatic sauropterygianPistosaurus longaevus, from the Hauptmuschelkalk (Middle Triassic) of southern Germany, are described and comparisons are made with other sauropterygian groups. A phylogenetic hypothesis of sauropterygian interrelationships is presented. The Sauropterygia are most closely related to the Lepidosauromorpha.Pislosaurusmost closely resembles the Plesiosauria in a number of cranial and postcranial features.

摘要:

The nature of female‐limited mimicry in the myrmecomorphic plant bugCoquillettia insignisUhler is described, including aspects of its relation to possible ant models and to co‐occurring visual arthropod predators. Twelve species of ants were collected withC. insignison its host plantLupinus caudatusKell., of which six species were common: third instar to adult female mimics closely resemble four of these six species, in both morphology and behaviour. The mimetic significance of these close correspondences is indicated by the results of over 500 feeding trials, using the three most common species of co‐occurring visual arthropod predators as operators. Two of these three species(Sussacus papenhoeiGertsch: Salticidae; andSinea diadema(Fabricius): Reduviidae), classifiedC. insigniswith corresponding models and not with closely related, non‐mimetic plant bugs. Furthermore, after having had a single ‘unpleasant’ experience with the antFormica fuscaassassin bugs that had previously acceptedC. insignisas prey rejected them in 19 out of 23 trials. These findings indicate thatC. insignisis a Batesian mimic, with visual arthropod predators functioning as one class of potential operator. Implications for future research on perception and learning in arthropod predators is briefl

摘要:

Three families of Psylloidea are known to occur in temperate South America. Four subfamilies of the Psyllidae (Diaphorininae, Acizziinae, Ciriacreminae and Psyllinae) are revised in this paper. The Diaphorininae with one genus containing 18 species are an important element of the fauna ofNothofagus.EachNothofagusspecies seems to be the host of at least one psyllid species. Other host plants of the genus are Compositae and Myrtaceae. The Acizziinae and Ciriacreminae are represented by six species in three genera and nine species in three genera, respectively. In the New World these two subfamilies have a predominantly tropical distribution and are associated with Leguminosae. The Psyllinae are represented by a single introduced species on pear.One genus and 18 species are described as new. One new generic and four new specific synonyms, and ten new combinations are proposed. One species name becomes a secondary homonym and is replaced. The descriptions of adults are supplemented by information on larvae and host plants. Lectotypes are designated for six species. Keys are provided for identification to species level.
