Taxonomy Of The Simulium Perflavum Species-Group (Diptera: Simuliidae), With Description Of A New Species From Brazil, Neusa Hamada, Peter H. Adler
Insecta Mundi
The larva, pupa, male, and female of Simulium trombetense n. sp. are described and illustrated. This species was collected in the Brazilian Amazon region in the states of Amapa, Amazonas, Para, and Roraima near the edges of the crystalline basement-rock formation of the Pre-Cambrian Guiana Shield. Keys for larvae, pupae, males, and females of species in the Simulium perflavum Species-Group are presented, as well as new observations on adult, pupal, and larval characters. Evidence is given to support the species status of S. maroniense Floch and Abonnenc, previously considered synonymous with S. rorotaense Floch and Abonnenc.

A New Species Of Acmaeodera (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) From Big Bend National Park, Texas, With Synonymy For Other Species Occurring In The United States, Richard L. Westcott, William F. Barr
Insecta Mundi
Acmaeodera tiquilia Westcott and Barr, new species, from Big Bend National Park, Texas is described, figured, and discussed in considerable detail, particularly in relation to the similar and partially sympatric A. recticollis Fall. A neotype is designated for A. quatuordecimspilota Obenberger and that species is synonymized with A. ornata (Fabricius). Additionally, A. gibbula gila Knull is synonymized with A. gibbula LeConte; A. nautica Van Dyke is synonymized with A. simulata Van Dyke.

The CSE quarterly journal, Insecta Mundi, is among the very few journals that have no page charges. Even so, the Center for Systematic Entomology is entirely financed through dues, subscriptions, and donations of cash, property, and time. We have found it necessary to make certain requirements for publication in the journal. (See also information on front inside cover of the journal.)

Seldom does one have the opportunity (and honor) to review a work of the magnitude of this volume, 1 volume (in 3 parts) of a series of 15 volumes. Not being a specialist in microscopic anatomy, I cannot look for, or expect to find, errors. That was the job of the peer reviewers. Only extensive usage will determine whether or not they did their job.
Generic Definitions And Species Assignments In The Family Epipsocidae (Psocoptera), Edward L. Mockford
Generic Definitions And Species Assignments In The Family Epipsocidae (Psocoptera), Edward L. Mockford
Insecta Mundi
The family Epipsocidae is defined, with the addition of one character not previously used. The genus Dimidistriata Li and Mockford is removed from Epipsocidae and tentatively placed in the family Dolabellopsocidae. The genus Parepipsocus Badonnel remains unplaceable to family. Eleven genera are recognized within Epipsocidae. Bertkauia Kolbe, which had been synonymized with Epipsocus, is recognized as a valid genus. Definitions of genera based on the type species and seemingly close relatives result in 38 new combinations. Epipsocus Hagen, which previously held most of the species, now serves a dual function, with 15 species in the strict sense and 15 …

Analisis Cladistico Del Género Poecilopompilus Howard (Hymenoptera, Pompilidae) Y Clave Para Las Especies, Ma. Virginia Colomo De Correa
Insecta Mundi
Abstract: The phylogenetic relationships of the species of the American genus Poecilopompilus Howard are analyzed, and the same relations are cleared up with its sister group Austrochares, Batozonellus, Episyron, and Sericopompilus; 38 characters were cladisticaly analyzed with the Ms-DOS Pee Wee program (Goloboff, 1993). In the resulting tree, the genera considered appear as monophyletic groups. Batozonellus is phylogenetically more related with Poecilopompilus, and those 2 with Austrochares. Poecilopompilus is monophyletic. A key for the identification of the 10 known species of Poecilopompilus, is proposed. Genera and species are illustrated.

Corrections, Clarifications, And Additions To The 1996 Checklist Of The Alticinae Of Central America, Including Mexico (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), David G. Furth, Vilma Savini
Insecta Mundi
In our checklist of the Alticinae of Central America and Mexico (Furth and Savini, 1996), there were some species whose status or generic combination needs clarification. In preparing the 1996 checklist the authors referred to some unpublished notes of Jan Bechyne in order to understand his system of alticine names and to clarify to which genera he considered various species to belong. In almost all cases, these notes referred to published references; however, in a few cases they did not and, inadvertently, the authors listed some species in genera for the first time without fully explaining their new status or …

Needed: One-Page Articles
Insecta Mundi
We often have several pages to fill in each issue of Insecta Mundi. This is due to the practice we follow of starting each full length article on the right hand page. This provides a better appearing separate. As logic will predict, about half of the articles end on a right hand page, thus leaving the last left hand page blank. A blank page in a scientific journal is the same as throwing away money! So, we scramble around trying to find something to fill these pages, often with little success: better to leave it blank some say.

Correction To The Known Distribution Of Prionus (Homaesthesis) Simplex (Casey) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae), Daniel J. Heffern
Correction To The Known Distribution Of Prionus (Homaesthesis) Simplex (Casey) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae), Daniel J. Heffern
Insecta Mundi
Prionus (Homaesthesis) simplex (Casey) was described (Casey, 1912:253) from one male specimen from Kansas with no further data. The specimen is in the United States National Museum and is illustrated by Chemsak (1996). Alexander (1958) reported P. simplex from two locations in Craig County, Oklahoma. Alexander's paper appears to be the basis for two localities shown in northeastern Oklahoma on the distribution maps given by Linsley (1962) and Chemsak (1996). The one locality shown in central Kansas on the map by Chemsak (1996) represents just a "state record" and not a specific collecting record (J. Beierl, Editor of Wolfsgarden Books, …
