Recent Siphonaptera Host And Distribution Records From Northern Michigan, William Scharf
Recent Siphonaptera Host And Distribution Records From Northern Michigan, William Scharf
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Along with colleagues and students I collected fleas from mammals during the period 1998-2007 in five Upper Peninsula counties, and three northern Lower Peninsula counties. Also included here are a few fleas from Grand Traverse County which were mistakenly omitted from earlier publications. Identified specimens were compared to existing distribution records for both parasite and host. Only new documented distributions for the county or the state of Michigan are listed. One parasite record is new for Michigan. In addition, 15 new county host/parasite combinations are recorded from the Upper Peninsula, and 8 new county host/parasite combinations are recorded from the …
First Report Of A Population Of Western Blacknose Dace (Rhinichthys Obtusus) In The Brushy Creek System Of The Black Warrior River Drainage, Alabama, Eric Bauer, Malorie M. Hayes
First Report Of A Population Of Western Blacknose Dace (Rhinichthys Obtusus) In The Brushy Creek System Of The Black Warrior River Drainage, Alabama, Eric Bauer, Malorie M. Hayes
Southeastern Fishes Council Proceedings
Alabama is home to the southernmost populations of Rhinichthys obtusus, the Western Blacknose Dace. Within Alabama, R. obtusus is found in the Tennessee, Coosa, and Black Warrior River basins, but its presence in the Black Warrior River drainage has been limited. Until now, R. obtusus in the Black Warrior drainage has only been reported as collections of 1 to 4 specimens at a time in the Sipsey Fork drainage. Herein, we report two novel occurrences of R. obtusus in the headwaters of the Brushy Creek system in the Black Warrior River drainage including a singleton and a large population. …
The Occurrence And Distribution Of Heterandria Formosa (Teleostei, Poeciliidae) In Lowndes County, Georgia, Jason C. Chaney, David L. Bechler
The Occurrence And Distribution Of Heterandria Formosa (Teleostei, Poeciliidae) In Lowndes County, Georgia, Jason C. Chaney, David L. Bechler
Georgia Journal of Science
Heretofore in the literature, Heterandria formosa had not been reported from Lowndes County, Georgia. Based on a survey of Lowndes County; we discovered eight localities from the southeastern portion of the county that collectively produced 30 specimens of H. formosa. The southeastern portion of the county is primarily flatwoods with numerous wetlands and low gradient streams compared to the remainder of the county, which is typified by a more upland habitat with greater relief and greater stream gradients. It is postulated that the greater stream gradients inhibited the migration of H. formosa into the southwestern and northern portions of …
A Redescription Of The First Instar Of Rhantus Calidus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) With Notes On Its Biology, B. R. Lemieux, E. H. Barman, B. P. White
A Redescription Of The First Instar Of Rhantus Calidus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) With Notes On Its Biology, B. R. Lemieux, E. H. Barman, B. P. White
Georgia Journal of Science
First instars of Rhantus calidus (Fabricius) representing a Georgia population are described and illustrated. Dimensions are provided along with an analysis of the primary chaetotaxy of legs, head, and last abdominal segment. The presence of first instars at the study site demonstrated that R. calidus either requires or is at least tolerant of warmer temperatures for completion of its life cycle. Habitats with temperatures comparable to this site were likely present in a warm Atlantic coastal enclave during the last glacial maximum (LGM), making it probable that the LGM dytiscid fauna of Georgia included R. calidus.
A Description Of The Third Instar Of Platambus Flavovittaus (Larson And Wolfe, 1998) With Comments On The Larval Morphology Of Platambus Stagninus (Say, 1823) And A Key To The Agabini (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) Of Georgia, R. Wilkes, B. P. White, G. W. Wolfe, E. H. Barman
A Description Of The Third Instar Of Platambus Flavovittaus (Larson And Wolfe, 1998) With Comments On The Larval Morphology Of Platambus Stagninus (Say, 1823) And A Key To The Agabini (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) Of Georgia, R. Wilkes, B. P. White, G. W. Wolfe, E. H. Barman
Georgia Journal of Science
Mature Agabini larvae collected from a small temporary road-side habitat were reared to the adult stage and identified as Platambus flavovittattus (Larson and Wolfe, 1998). The mature larva is described and illustrated with an emphasis on leg morphology. Important differences between cranial temporal curvatures of P. flavovittatus and P. stagninus (Say, 1823) are described. A larval key is constructed to facilitate identification of Georgia agabine genera and species.
List Of Encyrtids (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) From Subalpine And Alpine Zones Oflagodekhi Protected Areas With New Records From Georgia And Transcaucasia, George Japoshvili, Meri Salakaia, Giorgi Kirkitadze, Marine Batsankalashvili

Turkish Journal of Zoology
Two genera, Coelopencyrtus Timberlake, 1919 and Mayrencyrtus Hincks, 1944, are reported here for the first time from Transcaucasia. Fourteen new records of encyrtid species from Georgia are reported. Except for 4 species (Bothriothorax aralius (Walker, 1837); B. clavicornis (Dalman, 1820); B. trichops Thomson, 1876; and Cheiloneurus submuticus Thomson, 1876), all species are recorded for the first time from Transcaucasia.
