Nueva Especie De Loxostethus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Diaperini) Para Cuba, Orlando H. Garrido, Esteban Gutierrez
Nueva Especie De Loxostethus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Diaperini) Para Cuba, Orlando H. Garrido, Esteban Gutierrez
Insecta Mundi
El género Loxostethus fue descrito por Triplehorn (1962), describiendo las especies fasciatus y opacifrons para Cuba, jamaicensis para Jamaica, y unicolor para Puerto Rico. Todas fueron halladas en hongos, y si bien no han sido reportadas de la Isla de Santo Domingo no es de extrañar que eventualmente aparezcan. Zayas (1989) describió L. quadrimaculata para Trinidad, Cuba-sin embargo, esta última especie cae dentro de la variación individual de L. fasciatus de acuerdo a la descripción de Triplehorn. Por consiguiente, L. quadrimaculata es sinonimizado bajo Loxostethus fasciatus. Gundlach tiene representado en su colección estos dos taxa bajo el género Cyphiscus …
Bibliography On Hydrellia Griseola Fallen (Diptera: Ephydridae) And Review Of Its Biology And Pest Status, Louis S. Hesler
Bibliography On Hydrellia Griseola Fallen (Diptera: Ephydridae) And Review Of Its Biology And Pest Status, Louis S. Hesler
Insecta Mundi
A bibliography is presented on Hydrellia griseola (FallBn), a cosmopolitan species of shore fly that is an agricultural pest throughout much of its range. The literature review includes 195 references and spans 180 years: from 1813, when H. griseola was first described (as Notophila griseola), to 1993. My review updates and extends by 110 years a previous review of this species. The host plant associations, bionomics, distribution, pest status, and control of this species are reviewed. The known host plants of larval H.griseola are listed. My survey of the literature supports the hypothesis that H. griseola is increasing its …
A Status Report On The Species Of Timarcha (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Pierre Jolivet
A Status Report On The Species Of Timarcha (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Pierre Jolivet
Insecta Mundi
The species of Tirnarcha are unique living fossils among the leaf beetles. They walk very slowly, cannot escape by flight, and their majestic bearing can be compared to the Athenian judges, the Timarches. Unfortunately, they are vulnerable to habitat disturbance, insecticides, and environmental changes. Some of the European such as Timarcha tenebricosa and T. goettingensis are becoming more and more rare because of these same habitat changes.
New Locality Records For Bruchidae Of Florida And The West Indies (Coleoptera), John M. Kingsolver
New Locality Records For Bruchidae Of Florida And The West Indies (Coleoptera), John M. Kingsolver
Insecta Mundi
Recent collections have resulted in provisional extensions of distributional ranges of 4 species of Bruchidae. All species of plants listed belong to the Leguminosae (Fabaceae).
Acanthoscelides obvelatus Bridwell was recently intercepted at the Miami, Florida, International Airport infesting Phaseolus spp. beans grown in Haiti and Cuba. Previous records for this bruchid include mainland localities in Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia. No precise localities in the West Indies are known. These collections indicate that this bruchid is probably established on Hispaniola and Cuba.

Book Review: Bugs In The System By: May R. Berenbaum, Pierre Jolivet
Book Review: Bugs In The System By: May R. Berenbaum, Pierre Jolivet
Insecta Mundi
In one of her latest papers in the American Entomologist, in 1995, Prof. Berenbaum mentions how young people (and entomologists alike) are martyrizing insects and arachnids, by pulling their wings or their legs, burning them with magnifying glasses, without mentioning the lepidopterists who transfix the thorax of the female butterflies to induce them to lay eggs. Such behavior was once one of the acts of the emperor Nero when he was a child. His tutor, the philosopher Seneca, when he saw him pulling the wings off a fly, predicted that he would be very cruel. It was said t h …

Variability Of Zophobas Rugipes Kirsch (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Tenebrioninii) In Cuba, Orlando H. Garrido, Esteban Gutierrez
Variability Of Zophobas Rugipes Kirsch (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Tenebrioninii) In Cuba, Orlando H. Garrido, Esteban Gutierrez
Insecta Mundi
The blind click-beetles are the larger tenebrionids of Cuba. In our territory there are two species described, Zophbas rugipes Kirsch with a wide distribution in other West Indies, Central and South America, and Z. cubanus Marcuzzi, endemic to Cuba. Other authors had exposed the variability of Z. rugipes. We have compared all the available material from Cuban collections and have reached the conclusion that the diagnostic characters exposed for z. cubanus, based on a small series, are not valid. Therefore, we consider this taxon as an individual variation of Z. rugipes, and synonymize Z. cubanus under Z. rugipes …

Book Review: Physician's Guide To Arthropods Of Medical Importance By Jerome Goddard, Eugene J. Gerberg
Book Review: Physician's Guide To Arthropods Of Medical Importance By Jerome Goddard, Eugene J. Gerberg
Insecta Mundi
As the title indicates, this book is written for physicians, not medical entomologists. The early classics in the field, Matheson's "Medical Entomology," and Harwood and James' “Entomology in Human and Animal Health,” now out-of-print, are not replaced by this volume because this work is of a more concise and abbreviated form.
The book is divided into three parts. Part I consists of chapters on the pathological conditions caused by arthropods, and the principles of treatment, certainly the most authoritative section of the book. Part II lists and describes many arthropods of medical importance. Part III consists of a short glossary …
