West Indies Brenthia (Lepidoptera: Choreutidae), J. B. Heppner Jan 1985

West Indies Brenthia (Lepidoptera: Choreutidae), J. B. Heppner

Insecta Mundi

The genus Brenthia includes numerous species in the New World and another large contingent in the tropical parts of Asia and Australia. There also are a few species known from Africa (Heppner, 1981). The few species in Japan represent the only intrusion of the genus into the Palearctic region.


Review Of Lanelater Of North America (Coleoptera, Elateridae), T. J. Spilman Jan 1985

Review Of Lanelater Of North America (Coleoptera, Elateridae), T. J. Spilman

Insecta Mundi

Descriptions, illustrations, and distributions of adults of 3 species: schottii (=arizonae) from Arizona to southern Texas and northern Mexico; hayekae n. sp. (=schottii of authors) from Kansas to southern Texas; sallei from Louisiana to Florida to New York. Identification key. The larvae, unknown, are undoubtedly predaceous on larvae (grubs) of Scarabaeidae and other soft bodied insects.


A Generic Review Of The Acanthaclisine Antlions Based On Larvae (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae), Lionel Stange, Robert B. Miller Jan 1985

A Generic Review Of The Acanthaclisine Antlions Based On Larvae (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae), Lionel Stange, Robert B. Miller

Insecta Mundi

The tribe Acanthaclisini Navas contains 14 described genera which we recognize as valid. We have reared larvae of 8 of these (Acanthaclisis Rambur, Centroclisis Navas, Fadrina Navas, Paranthaclisis Banks, Phanoclisis Banks, Synclisis Navas, Syngenes Kolbe, and Vella Navas). In addition, we have studied preserved larvae from Australia which probably represent the genus Heoclisis Navas. This represents the majority of the taxa, lacking only the small genera Avia Navas, Cosina Navas, Madrasta Navas, Mestressa Navas, and Stiphroneuria Gerstaecker. Studies of these larvae have revealed structural differences, especially of the mandible, which we have employed to provide identification of these genera by …


Elevation Of Cicindela Nigrior To Species Rank, K. W. Vick, S. J. Roman Jan 1985

Elevation Of Cicindela Nigrior To Species Rank, K. W. Vick, S. J. Roman

Insecta Mundi

Cicindela nigrior Schaupp (1884) has a complex taxonomic history as a subspecies, variety, and aberration of the morphologically plastic tiger beetle C . scutellaris. Schaupp gave the varietal name nigrior to what he apparently thought was a melanistic form of Cicindela scutellaris unicolor Dejean. Leng (1902) listed both nigrior and unicolor as varieties of scutellaris Say. However, Horn (1905) llsted nigrior and unicolor as aberrations of obscura Say (=scutellaris). Later he listed nigrior as a variety of scutellaris unicolor (Horn 1916). The Leng catalog (1920) shows both nigrior and unicolor as subspecies of scutellaris, while Vaurie …
