Svensk Insektfauna Trettonde Steklar, C. Aurivillius Jan 1903

Svensk Insektfauna Trettonde Steklar, C. Aurivillius

An

Steklarne anses med skäl såsom de högst stående bland in-sekterna. De utmärka sig genom följande kännetecken: Hufvudet mycket rörligt med munöppningen vänd nedåt. Öfverkäkarne kraftigt utbildade, bitande; underkäkarne bilda tillsammans med underläppen en sug- eller slickapparat. Första mellankroppsleden är i allmänhet liten och ofvan oftast orörligt sammanväxt med andra leden, dess sido- och bröstplåtar äro alltid genom en !edgång rörligt förenade med ryggplåten {halsskölden), hvarigenom frambenen blifva mycket rörliga. Vingarne, som sällan saknas, äro fyra, tunna, nakna, hinnaktiga och endast försedda med ett ringa antal slutna vingfält; de bakre kortare och smalare än de främre. Förvandlingen är fullständig. Larverna hafva …

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.11, William H. Ashmead Jan 1903

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.11, William H. Ashmead

An

The wasps belonging to this family, on account of the emarginate eyes in the females, and the abdomen being usually marked with yellow or white, closely resemble those in the families Mysinidae and Scoliidae, but may be easily distinguished by the great difference in the legs, the middle coxae being approximate, the outer face of the tibiae being smooth, unarmed, without tubercles or spines, while the tarsi are without strong spines or bristles, and unfitted for digging.

New Elementary Agriculture For Rural And Graded Schools, Charles E. Bessey, Lawrence Bruner, G. D. Swezey Jan 1903

New Elementary Agriculture For Rural And Graded Schools, Charles E. Bessey, Lawrence Bruner, G. D. Swezey

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Nebraska is an agricultural state. The products of her soil are the basis of her industries and her prosperity. The children of our great state of Nebraska should be familiar with our crops, our grains and grasses, our flowers and fruits, our trees and shrubs and weeds, our domestic animals and birds and insects. Our children should have a practical knowledge of the management of a farm, of the composition of the soil, and of the adaptability of the farm and its soil for the cultivation of certain plants and the counter effect of such plant growth upon the soil. …


Some Notes On The Bee Genus Andrena, Lawrence Bruner Jan 1903

Some Notes On The Bee Genus Andrena, Lawrence Bruner

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Several years ago the writer undertook to determine and lable the bees contained in the collection of insects belonging to the University of Nebraska. After some preliminary work in the way of assorting and arranging the material at hand, and securing literature with which to do the naming, it was found that the large number of the species belonging to the genus Andrena in its broad sense could only be placed by the aid of some kind of synoptic key or table. Not being able to find such an aid in our entomological literature it was decided to construct one …


Sleeping Habits Of Certain Hymenoptera, Nathan Banks Dec 1902

Sleeping Habits Of Certain Hymenoptera, Nathan Banks

An

The various means by which insects rest have been but little investigated. Occasional notes have been published, but often in connection with other matter, so that it is extremely difficult to collate the recorded facts. Since the Hymenoptera are among the most assiduous, as well as the most intelligent workers, it is natural that they should exhibit some interesting habits of sleep. The idea that the bee sleeps in the flower seems to have invaded literature at an early date. And there are a number of bees that commonly do remain in flowers (such as those of cucurbits and campanulas) …

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.10, William H. Ashmead Nov 1902

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.10, William H. Ashmead

An

The globose or rounded head, which is never flat, oblong, and the difference in the antennae, the antennae in males being 10-jointed, in the females 13-jointed, readily separate the subfamily from the Bethylinre. The group comes quite close to the Dryininae, but in the latter the head is transverse or subquadrate, never rounded, while the antennae are 10-jointed in both sexes.

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.9, William H. Ashmead

An

This family was first defined by that astute British systematist, A. H. Haliday, who, as early as 1839, very correctly placed the family among the Fossores.

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.8, William H. Ashmead Sep 1902

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.8, William H. Ashmead

An

Prof. Westwood and others confused these wasps with the Vespidae and the Eumenidae, although Latreille had years previously established his family Masarides. Henry de Saussure, in his "Etudes," treats them as a tribe. They, however, represent a distinct family close to the Eurnenidae, but easily separated from them and the Vespidae by the wings not being folded longitudinally, by peculiarities of the antennae, which are usually strongly clavate at tip; by the wholly different abdomen, the venter being flatter; and by the much larger scutellum.


Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.7, William H. Ashmead Aug 1902

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.7, William H. Ashmead

An

To this family belong the potter wasps. They differ from the paper-making wasps in being solitary and in constructing their nests of mud or clay, instead of macerated woody fibre or pulp. It is perhaps one of the largest, if not the largest, families in the Vespoidea, and is well represented in all parts of the world by many genera and species.


Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.6, William H. Ashmead Jul 1902

Classification Of The Fossorial, Predateous And Parasitic Wasps, Or The Superfamily Vespoidea No.6, William H. Ashmead

An

This family is restricted to the paper-making wasps, all social species living in large communities and having three distinct sexes, female, worker, and male, thus agreeing with the social bees, the Apidea and Bombidae, and with many ants, Dorylidae, Myrmicidae, Formicidae, etc.

This subfamily comes nearest to the Aporinae, and a few of the males are easily confused with and mistaken for some males in the latter group.


Papers From The Harriman Alaska Expedition, William Harris Ashmead May 1902

Papers From The Harriman Alaska Expedition, William Harris Ashmead

An

In this paper 335 species are recorded, of which number 201 are regarded as new to science and are here first described. Of the 10 superfamilies, into which the order is now divided, all are represented in Alaska and are distributed into 29 families and 183 genera. Two of these genera, Dallatorrea and Hyposyntactus are new, and of the remainder, thirty have not been previously reported from North America.

Zur Kenntnis Der Prosopis Annularis K. (= Dilatata K.)- Gruppe. (Hym.), J. D. Alfken

A

Infolge der Bearbeitung der reichhaltigen Bieneusammlung meines verehrten Kollegen Th. Meyer in Hamburg habe ich eine genane Untersuchung der mir bekannten Arten du groupe si confus de Prosopis dilatala K.", wie J. Vachal sehr richtig sagt, vorgenommen: dadurch habe ich die Uebenengung gewonnen, dass im nordwestlichen Deutschland 2 sehr nahe verwandte Arten ans der genannten Gruppe vorkommen, welche ich irrtumlich bisher beide als P. dilatata K. bezeichuete. Nur die eine Art ist die echte P. dilatata K. = annularis K., die andere ist die P. compar Forst. Forster beschrieb von der letzteren nur das nach einem Exemplare, welches von Kellner …

Nidification De Quelques Megachiles, R. Buysson Jan 1902

Nidification De Quelques Megachiles, R. Buysson

Bu

Je connais la nidification d’un certain nombre d’especes de Megachiles, habitant le centre de la France. Pour toutes elle est analogue, que les cellules soient construites dans la terre ou sous une galerie creusee dans du bois tendre. Ce sont des cellules plus ou moins nombreuses places bout a bout et faites avec des fragments de feuilles. Rarement il y a deux series de cellules cote a cote. L’habilete de l’insecte consiste a tailler dans le limbe des feuilles des morceaux d’une forme reguliere et convenables pour la confection des cellules: des morceaux oboves pour les parois laterales et d’autres …

Identification De Quelques Megachiles, R. Buysson

Bu

Bysson begins the discussion with a general discussion of the nests of Megachile. They place their nests in various places (cavities). The nests are always constructed of pieces of leaves – oval ones on the walls and discs (small) forming partitions between cells and bottom. The appear to choose leaves of certain plants – but are not exclusive. Ordinarily they make more nests with more cells plants – but are not exclusive. Ordinarily they make more nests with more cells than do the Osmia. At least with the following species he noted that in all cases, the eggs to be …
