Revision Of The Neotropical Genus Trizogeniates Ohaus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Geniatini), Karla Villatoro
Revision Of The Neotropical Genus Trizogeniates Ohaus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Geniatini), Karla Villatoro
University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers
A comprehensive, systematic treatment of the poorly studied Neotropical genus Trizogeniates (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Geniatini) is provided. This revision includes a key to species, species descriptions, and distributional and temporal data. Based on this study, the genus Trizogeniates now includes 30 species. The following eight species are new: Trizogeniates ohausi Villatoro, T. venezuelensis Villatoro, T. geminatus Villatoro, T. caiporae Villatoro, T. crispospinatus Villatoro, T. catsus Villatoro, T. aphilus Villatoro, and T. eris Villatoro. Trizogeniates zischkai Martínez is a new synonym of T. temporalis Ohaus; T. grandis Ohaus is a new synonym of T. cribicollis (Lucas). T. andicola Ohaus is a …
Case 3237: Leucopelaea Albescens Bates, 1891 (Insecta, Coleoptera): Proposed Validation Of The Lectotype Designation, Andrew Smith
Case 3237: Leucopelaea Albescens Bates, 1891 (Insecta, Coleoptera): Proposed Validation Of The Lectotype Designation, Andrew Smith
University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers
The purpose of this application is to validate the lectotype designation of Leucopelaea albescens Bates, 1891 under Article 86.1.2 of the Code. The nominal species has very recently been considered a junior synonym of Platycoelia lutescens Blanchard, 1851, the name for a scarab beetle (family SCARABAEIDAE) from the Andes in Ecuador, Peru and southern Colombia. The lectotype designation was made under the provisions of the third (1985) edition of the Code in a paper that was accepted for publication in November 1999. However, the paper was not published until May 2000, after the fourth (1999) edition of the Code had …
Review Of The Genus Acrobolbia With Remarks On Its Classification, And A Key To The World Genera Of Cyclocephalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae), Mary Liz Jameson, Brett C. Ratcliffe, Vladislav Maly
Review Of The Genus Acrobolbia With Remarks On Its Classification, And A Key To The World Genera Of Cyclocephalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae), Mary Liz Jameson, Brett C. Ratcliffe, Vladislav Maly
University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers
The monotypic South American scarab genus Acrobolbia Ohaus, 1912 is reviewed and transferred to the tribe Cyclocephalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae). It was formerly placed in the subtribe Acrobolbiina (Rutelinae: Rutelini) or subtribe Oryctomorphina (Dynastinae: Pentodontini), depending on the author. We discuss characters that warrant transfer, redescribe the genus (including the first description of a female), and briefly discuss natural history of A. macrophylla Ohaus, 1912. We include a key to males and females of all 14 genera of Cyclocephalini.
The Status Of Euaresta Stelligera (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), Allen L. Norrbom
The Status Of Euaresta Stelligera (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae), Allen L. Norrbom
Insecta Mundi
Based on examination of morphological characters of specimens from throughout their ranges, Euaresta stelligera (Coquillett) is confirmed to be a distinct species from E. bellula (Snow). The diagnostic characters, distributions, and host plants of both species are discussed. New distribution records for E. aequalis (Loew) and E. tapetis (Coquillett) are also provided, and an error concerning the range of Valentibulla californica is noted.

Ultrastructure Of Tuzetia Weidneri Sp. N. (Microsporidia: Tuzetiidae) In Skeletal Muscle Of Litopenaeus Setiferus And Farfantepenaeus Aztecus (Crustacea: Decapoda) And New Data On Perezia Nelsoni (Microsporidia: Pereziidae) In L. Setiferus, Elizabeth U. Canning, Alan Curry, Robin M. Overstreet
Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty and Staff Publications
A new microsporidian species, Tuzetia weidneri sp. n. , is described from the skeletal muscle of the decapod crustaceans Litopenaeus setiferus and Farfantepenaeus aztecus. Fresh spores are pyriform, measuring 3.1 x 2.3 µm. All stages have unpaired nuclei. Meronts lie in direct contact with degenerate host cell cytoplasm but produce numerous small blisters at the surface. Multinucleate meronts divide by constriction into groups or chains of uninucleate products. Sporogony is initiated by deposition of a dense surface coat on the plasma membrane of uninucleate or multinucleate stages and fusion of blisters to enclose the sporont in a sporophorous vesicle …
