Catalogue Of The Ectoparasitic Insects Of The Bats Of Argentina, Analia G. Autino, Guillermo E. Claps
Insecta Mundi
Abstract:Taxonomy and distribution of the ectoparasitic insects of bats from Argentina, are reviewed. Seventeen species of Diptera (six of Nycteribiidae and eleven of Streblidae), six species of Siphonaptera (four of Ischnopsyllidae, one of Pulicidae, and one of Stephanocircidae), and seven species of Hemiptera (Polyctenidae) are known presently for Argentina. The information was obtained by reviewing the literature and collecting in the field between 1989 and 1998. The specimens collected in the field were compared with the type material deposited at the Field Museum of Natural History (CHNM).

Abstract: Three Argentine species of Bracon F. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) parasitize larvae of the "tomato moth", Tuta absoluta ( Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae). Two new species, B. lulensis and B. tutus, are described and B. lucileae Marsh is recorded from Argentina for the first time. A key to the Argentine species of Bracon, descriptions, and figures are given.

Tetrops Praeusta (L.) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), A Potential Pest?, Henry Howden, Anne Howden
Insecta Mundi
Thanks to Richard G. Dearborn we were able to examine the collection of beetles of the Maine Forest Service, Department of Conservation, Augusta. Our attention was directed to two small (4-6 mm) cerambycids by their collector, Kimberly Foss. The specimens are cylindrical, black bodied with tan, black tipped, setose elytra and tan legs. One specimen had been taken sitting on a maple leaf at Portland, Maine, and the other was collected by sweeping at Augusta, Maine. Subsequently an additional two specimens were collected in our Malaise trap on the Dearborn property 10 mi. S. Mt. Vernon, Maine.

Observations On The Biology Of The Antlion Genus Glenurus Hagen (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae), Lionel A. Stange
Insecta Mundi
This New World genus contains nine described species classified in the Nemoleontini. Larvae have been found for five species (Miller and Stange, unpublished data). The larvae have only two mandibular teeth and the labial palpus has only 2 segments. These characters are unknown in other genera of the Nemoleontini. Larvae live in dry tree holes (Miller, R. and L. A. Stange, 1983, Description and biology of Acrolophus pholeter, (Lepidoptera: Tineidae), a new moth commensal from Gopher Tortoise burrows in Florida. Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 90:164-178.), in litter under rocks or under tree roots, or (G. gratus) …

Myosides Seriehispidus Roelofs, An Asian Weevil New To The United States (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), Charles W. O'Brien
Insecta Mundi
Myosides seriehispidus Roelofs, a small cryptic broadnosed weevil from Japan, is reported as established in the eastern U.S. since at least 1973. This nocturnal weevil has been collected most often from leaf litter using berleses. The genus and species are redescribed and placement in Kissinger's key to genera of North American weevils is indicated. Dorsal and lateral habitus photographs of this species are included.

A Preliminary List Of Neuroptera From The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Lionel A. Stange
Insecta Mundi
The following species of Neuroptera have been identified from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The names are provided as part of the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory of the park (ATBI). The material was studied in 2000 at the Natural History Museum at Sugarlands Headquarters (GRSM). Additional material was obtained from two Malaise traps run for over a year (1999-2000) at the Twin Creeks Science Center and specimens obtained by the author during the first week of September, 2000. Nearly all of the specimens were collected at relatively low altitudes (Cosby; Elkmont; Twin Creeks; Sugarland Visitor Center) from April to …

New Record For Tesarius Rakovic In South America (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae: Psammodiini), Paul E. Skelley
New Record For Tesarius Rakovic In South America (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae: Psammodiini), Paul E. Skelley
Insecta Mundi
The genus Tesarius Rakovic (1981) is an interesting group of wingless, nearly eyeless (yet probably functionally blind), sand dune-dwelling scarabs. There are presently 5 species in the genus, T. sulcipennis (Lea 1904) from Tasmania and 4 species in western North America. One of these native North American species, T. caelatus (LeConte 1857) has been found in Britain (Johnson 1975). The genus is reviewed by Rakovic (1981, 1984), who provides a key to species.

The milliped fauna of Florida consists of 8 orders, 18 families, 34 genera, and 51 species and subspecies; it comprises six elements: widespread species occurring widely in Florida, northern species reaching their southern limits in north Florida, neotropical species occurring naturally in Florida or adventive there, oriental adventives, Florida endemics, and southeastern endemics. A complete listing of these taxa is provided, with published and new records from the state, synonyms, and type localities. Georgiulus paynei Hoffman, Cleidogona alata Causey, and Pseudopolydesmus serratus (Say) are newly recorded from the state, and Eurymerodesmus serratus Shelley is deleted; Pseudojulus obtectus (Bollman) is recorded …
A Synonym In The Genus Fluda (Araneae: Salticidae, G. B. Edwards
A Synonym In The Genus Fluda (Araneae: Salticidae, G. B. Edwards
Insecta Mundi
Galiano (1971) revised the genus Fluda Peckham and Peckham 1892, and later updated the revision with additional descriptions, including a new species (Galiano 1986). In her original revision, she transferred Keyserlingella perdita Peckham and Peckham 1892, from Colombia, into the genus. This species was described from both sexes, but only the female was adequately illustrated. Galiano (1971) noted that Banks (1929) had examined only the female type of K. perdita when he described the Panamanian Fluda princeps from both sexes. She concluded that the male of K. perdita was lost subsequent to its description but prior to Banks examination. If …
