Challenging The Wallacean Shortfall: A Total Assessment Of Insect Diversity On Guadeloupe (French West Indies), A Checklist And Bibliography, François Meurgey, Thibault Ramage
Insecta Mundi
This work is the first attempt to integrate into one list and quantify all the known species of Guadeloupean insects. It includes all the species known to us to be reported for the island of Guadeloupe until the 31st of December 2019. A total of 3097 valid species are listed, of which the largest component is the beetles (1447 species). Preliminarily, 632 species (20%) are considered to be strictly endemic to Guadeloupe, and 250 species are recognized as adventive or introduced. The bibliography complements the taxonomic information and includes over 350 titles. Brief annotations are also given on the …

Termites Of The Genus Cryptotermes Banks (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) From The West Indies, Rudolf H. Scheffrahn, Jan Krecek
Insecta Mundi
A taxonomic revision of the genus Cryptotermes occurring in the West Indies is given based on recent collections from the Greater Antilles, Lesser Antilles, and the Bahamas. Seventeen indigenous and four nonindigenous species are described from external morphology of the soldier. The imago caste is also described for all but one species. The indigenous Cryptotermes comprise twelve new species, including C. aequacornis, C. cryptognathus, C. cylindroceps, C. cymatofrons, C. darlingtonae, C. juliani, C. maizgoldi, C. nitens, C. parvifroizs, C. rotundiceps, C. spathifrons, and C. undulans. Five indigenous species are redescribed, including C. cavifrons Banks, C. chasei Scheffrahn, C. …

The Culicoides fauna of Belize is poorly known, and until 1974 only 3 species were recorded. Nineteen species of Culicoides from Belize were identified from six collection sites: C. barbosai Wirth & Blanton, C. crepuscularis Malloch, C. debilipalpis Lutz, C. diabolicus Hoffman, C . foxi Ortiz, C. furens (Poey), C . gabaldoni Ortiz, C. heliconiae Fox & Hoffman, C. hoffmani Fox, C. imitator Ortiz, C. insignis Lutz, C. jamaicensis Edwards, C. leopoldoi Ortiz, C. limai Barretto, C. paraensis (Goeldi), C . pifanoi Ortiz, C. pusilloidesWirth & Blanton, C. pusillus Lutz, and a new species, C. mckeeveri Brickle & Hagan …

Two New Species Of Kermes (Homoptera: Coccinea: Kermesidae), With A Key To The Young Adult Females Of Known Species Of Kermes From China, Yongjie Liu, Yuliang Shi
Insecta Mundi
Two new species of Kermesidae, Kermes orientalis Liu and Shi and K. flavus Liu, are designated. Morphological characters of post-reproductive and teneral young adult females, as well as the first instars (crawlers) are described and illustrated. A key to the young adult females of the genus from China is given. Type materials are deposited in the Insect Collection, Section of Entomology, Department of Entomology, Shandong Agricultural University, Shandong; Insect Collection, Institute of zoology, Chinese Academy of sciences, Beijing, China; and British Museum (Natural History), London, England.
