Replacement Name For Euchitonia Kolbe, 1894 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Callichromatini), Daniel J. Heffern
Replacement Name For Euchitonia Kolbe, 1894 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Callichromatini), Daniel J. Heffern
Insecta Mundi
Euchitonia Kolbe, 1894, (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a junior homonym of Euchitonia Ehrenberg, 1861, (Protozoa). Euchitonia Kolbe consists of four, large, uncommon species known from peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, and Java. Podan$ (1968) revised Euchitonia Kolbe, but omitted E. menzelii Ritsema. Subsequently, Hayashi (1978) synonymized E. malayana Podany under E. menzelii Ritsema. More recently, Hudepohl(1983) described E. constanzae but questionably placed it in the genus. Huedepohliana, nomen novum, is proposed to replace Euchitonia Kolbe. The following new combinations are created: Huedepohliana constanzae (Hudepohl), H. menzelii (Ritsema), H. superba (Aurivillius), H. suspecta (Ritsema). The new generic name honors Dr. Karl-Emst Hudepohl …

First Records Of The Subfamily Acaenitinae In Florida (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), Charles C. Porter
First Records Of The Subfamily Acaenitinae In Florida (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), Charles C. Porter
Insecta Mundi
Acaenitines have five genera and 18 species in North American forests (Townes 1960). Several of these occur in the eastern United States, but none is recorded from Florida; however, recent fieldwork in Florida yielded four species: Arotes decorus (Say), Spilopteron formosum (Cresson), S. occiputale (Cresson) and S. vicinum (Cresson) . These inhabit mature forests and attack wood-boring beetle larvae in dead trunks. There are no Florida host records, but Townes (1960) and Cushman and Rohwer (1920) report that in the northeastern states A. decorus was reared from Tomoxia (Mordellidae) in Carya (Juglandaceae), S. formosum from Bellamira (Cerambycidae) in Betula (Betulaceae), …

Schizaphis Minuta (Van Der Goot) (Homoptera: Aphididae), New To The United States, Susan E. Halbert, Kenneth L. Hibbard, David J. Voegtlin
Insecta Mundi
Schizaphis minuta (van der Goot) (Fig. 1) was found for the first time in the Western Hemisphere in suction trap samples in Florida. The first specimen was collected in a trap at Quincy (Gadsden County) for the period 16 - 23 November 1998. The record subsequently was verified by collections on several species of Cyperus in the Ft. Pierce area. The aphid is specific to Cyperus and is unlikely to pose any threat to agriculture. Schizaphis minuta probably is native to Asia and has been recorded previously in Africa and Australia. It is not known to be a pest.
New Species And Records Of Rhyssa And Rhyssella (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Rhyssinae) From Florida And Central America, Charles C. Porter
New Species And Records Of Rhyssa And Rhyssella (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Rhyssinae) From Florida And Central America, Charles C. Porter
Insecta Mundi
Abstract: Rhyssa neotropicae n. sp. is the first Rhyssa to be recorded from the New World tropics, where it was collected in cloud forest at 1800 m on Monte Uyuca near Zamorano, Honduras. It is closely related to the Nearctic R. hoferi Rohwer and R. howdenorurn Townes but differs from all other Rhyssa by its complexly yellow and black marked head and body, whose color pattern mimics that of aggressive social vespid wasps (Agelaia) which occur in the same habitat. Rhyssa howdenorurn Townes is recorded for the first time from Florida and Oklahoma. The genus Rhyssella, previously …

Small Carrion Beetles (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae) From Burrows Of Geomys And Thomomys Pocket Gophers (Rodentia: Geomyidae) In The United States, Stewart B. Peck, Paul E. Skelley
Insecta Mundi
The cholevine beetles inhabiting burrows of Geomys and Thomomys pocket gophers (Rodentia: Geomyidae) are reviewed. Catops geomysi n. sp. and Ptomaphagus geomysi n. sp. are described. Both of these species and Ptomaphagus schwarzi Hatch appear to be regular and obligate inhabitants of Geomys burrows but are not host specific. Nemadus hornii Hatch, Sciodrepoides ruatsoni hornianus (Blanchard), Catops simplex Say, Ptomaphagus cavernicola Schwarz, Ptomaphagus consobrinus (LeConte), Ptomaphagus fisus Horn, and Ptomaphagus texanus Horn were less frequently collected and are probably facultative inhabitants of Geomys burrows, as well as nests or dens of other small mammals. Ptomaphagus nevadicus Horn is an inhabitant …
New Dung Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Records For Florida, David Almquist
New Dung Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Records For Florida, David Almquist
Insecta Mundi
Euoniticellus intermedius (Reiche) was released by the USDA for the purpose of dung removal and control of pestiferous dung-breeding flies in Texas, California, and Georgia around 1978-1979, although it did not become established in Georgia at that time (Blume 1984; Fincher 1986; Montes and Halffter 1998). Apparently, it has not been officially recorded outside of Arizona, California, and Texas in the contiguous U.S., although Montes and Halffter (1998) did a detailed study of its migration into Mexico.

Color Forms Of Monocesta Coryli (Say) In West Virginia (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Shawn M. Clark
Color Forms Of Monocesta Coryli (Say) In West Virginia (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Shawn M. Clark
Insecta Mundi
Monocesta coryli (Say) is rather widespread in the eastern United States. In life, the beetles are usually bright yellow with the basal and apical thirds of the elytra metallic blue. In pinned specimens, the yellow areas fade to pale tan. A number of years ago (Clark, 1986), I reported on an unusual color form that occurs in southern Ohio, the dark elytral markings being either entirely absent or very poorly developed. More recently (Clark, 2000), I stated that both forms occur in West Virginia, but I gave very little information regarding the distribution of each.
