Mecidea Longula Stål (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae: Mecideini) Is Established In South Florida, Joseph E. Eger, Jr., Thomas T. Dobbs
Mecidea Longula Stål (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae: Mecideini) Is Established In South Florida, Joseph E. Eger, Jr., Thomas T. Dobbs
Insecta Mundi
A Caribbean species of Mecidea Dallas, M. longula Stål, apparently established in south Florida, is reported from the United States for the first time. Specimens were first collected in February 2008 in a light trap operated in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Collections in that trap have continued through the present. Searches near the trap location resulted in several specimens being taken from smutgrass, Sporobolus indicus (L.), an exotic grass now established throughout much of the southeastern United States. The three North American species of Mecidea are keyed and illustrated. In addition to the Florida locality, M. longula is reported for the …

Brontoliota lawrencei Thomas, new species, is described and illustrated from Chile, and the Chilean silvanid fauna is discussed.
Natural History Of Belonuchus Nordmann Spp. And Allies (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) In Heliconia L. (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae) Flower Bracts, J. H. Frank, R. Barrera
Natural History Of Belonuchus Nordmann Spp. And Allies (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) In Heliconia L. (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae) Flower Bracts, J. H. Frank, R. Barrera
Insecta Mundi
Adults, and in some species larvae, of several members of Belonuchus Nordmann (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) and a few related genera seem to be to various degrees consistently associated with flower bracts of the genus Heliconia (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae). They are predators and eat various dipterous and lepidopterous larvae in that habitat. Adults of at least Belonuchus cephalotes (Sharp) and Odontolinus fasciatus Sharp are able to immerse completely in water to capture larvae and/or pupae of mosquitoes (Culicidae).
Adults and larvae of Belonuchus satyrus Erichson, and adults of B. cacao Blackwelder and B. rufipennis (F.) were found in water-filled flower bracts of …
Observations On The Biology Of The South African Checkered Beetle Aphelochroa Sanguinalis (Westwood) (Coleoptera: Cleridae), Jonathan R. Mawdsley, Hendrik Sithole
Observations On The Biology Of The South African Checkered Beetle Aphelochroa Sanguinalis (Westwood) (Coleoptera: Cleridae), Jonathan R. Mawdsley, Hendrik Sithole
Insecta Mundi
The checkered beetle Aphelochroa sanguinalis (Westwood) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) is found in savanna and woodland ecosystems of southern and eastern Africa. During surveys for insect floral visitors in the Skukuza Ranger District of Kruger National Park, South Africa, we encountered adults of Aphelochroa sanguinalis on flowers of two tree species, Acacia grandicornuta Gerstner and Acacia tortilis (Forsskal) Hayne (Fabaceae). These two tree species flower in the early rainy season (November-December) and have small white flowers in small round ball-shaped clusters. Adults of Aphelochroa sanguinalis were not found on flowers of 14 other tree species with different floral structures which were flowering …
Micropsephodes Bahamaensis, A New Species Of Anamorphinae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea: Endomychidae) From The Bahamas, With A Key To The New World Genera Of Anamorphinae, Floyd W. Shockley
Micropsephodes Bahamaensis, A New Species Of Anamorphinae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea: Endomychidae) From The Bahamas, With A Key To The New World Genera Of Anamorphinae, Floyd W. Shockley
Insecta Mundi
A new species of anamorphine endomychid, Micropsephodes bahamaensis Shockley is described from a small series of 3 specimens collected on North Andros Island in the Bahamas. Besides being the only species known from the Bahamas, M. bahamaensis is readily recognizable from its congeners based on its much larger size, more elongate habitus and features of the galeae and maxillary palpomere IV. Keys to the known species of Micropsephodes and to the adults of the genera of Anamorphinae that occur in the Western Hemisphere are provided.
Preliminary Report On The Myrmeleontidae (Neuroptera) Of Paraguay, Lionel A. Stange
Preliminary Report On The Myrmeleontidae (Neuroptera) Of Paraguay, Lionel A. Stange
Insecta Mundi
Ten species of antlions are confirmed as present in Paraguay and seven additional species are suspected to be present there. All of the species are found also in Argentina and Brazil except for Eremoleon pulchra (Esben- Petersen) which is endemic to Paraguay. A key to the adults is provided as well as distributional data for Paraguay with two new country records (Ameromyia dimidiata Navás and Austroleon dispar (Banks)).
Resumen. Se documentan diez especies de Myrmeleontidae en Paraguay con otras siete especies conocidas de países limítrofes probablemente también presentes en Paraguay. Todos las especies están presentes también en Argentina y …
