The Life Cycle of Baëtis macani Kimmins (Ephemerida) in a Norwegian Mountain Biotope
Authors: Brittain John E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe life cycle and aspects of the biology of Baëtis macani, a species restricted to Fennoscandia, are described from a small lake and its outflow at 1330 m a.s.l. near Finse, Norway (60°36' N, 7°30' E). Additional data are presented from Øvre Heimdalsvatn, a subalpine lake in the Jotunheim mountains (61°26' N, 8°52' E). At Finse the ice free period lasts only 3 1/2 months during which time nymphal development and emergence occur. It is probable that after winter diapause egg hatching occurs at the end of June in connection with the rise in temperature at ice break. Nymphal growth is rapid. Emergence begins in mid-August, reaches a peak during early September and continues until the beginning of October, shortly before ice forms again.
Descriptions of Platygastrinae from Sweden (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae)
Authors: Huggert Lars 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe new species Platygaster gracilipes and P. masneri are described. P. crassa Szelényi was given the new name P. szelenyii, because the name was preoccupied by Polygnotus crassus Kryg. & Schmiedek., which was transferred to Platygaster.
Genetic polymorphism and evolution in parthenogenetic animals. IV. Triploid Otiorrhynchus salicis Ström (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Lokki Juhani , Lankinen Pekka , Saura Anssi , Suomalainen Esko 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genetic variability at 20 enzyme loci in natural populations of Otiorrhynchus salicis Ström was studied by starch gel electrophoresis. Altogether 135 weevils were analyzed. The samples originated from a diploid bisexual population in Austria, from four triploid parthenogenetic populations in the Carpathian mountains, and from three triploid parthenogenetic populations in central Sweden. Altogether 16 different genotypes were found in triploid parthenogenetic populations. Two major types, comprising 39 out of the 76 parthenogenetic individuals, occur both in Scandinavia and in central Europe. The less frequent types can be derived from these through mutations. O. salicis is a flightless insect, which has been assumed to have overwintered the Würm glaciation in icefree refugia in Scandinavia. The overall genetic similarity found in the material suggests that the parthenogenetic race spread to its isolated Scandinavian area in postglacial times.

Lectotypes, néotypes, et identification de Glypta nigriventris Ths. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)1
Authors: Aubert Jacques-F. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIn 1968, I fixed a false neotype for Glypta nigriventris Ths., 1889, because four different species were under the same name in Thomson's collection. This erroneous neotype, even with the specific name written by Thomson, did not agree with the original description. It was also unknown at this time, that Thomson's small green labels represented the same locality as the white labels, inscribed "Rsiö". Only one female with this green label can be the true lectotype for Gl. nigriventris Ths. The numerous contradictory identifications have also been pointed out. My new lectotype from Ringsjön, confirms the taxonomy of Schmiedeknecht 1907, first revisor: Clypta extincta Ratz., 1852 (=nigriventris Ths, 1889).

Four new species of Conchapelopia Fittkau from Nepal
Authors: Murray Declan A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractFour new species of Tanypodinae are described from material collected by the 1967 Canadian Expedition to Nepal. These new species are now placed in the new nepalicola-group provisionally assigned to the genus Conchapelopia Fittkau. Definitive placing is not yet possible due to the lack of any juvenile material. A key to the males of the nepalicola-group is presented. A brief discussion of the phylogeny of the new species, C. buidonnai n.sp., C. dartofi n.sp., C. nepalicola n.sp. and C. setipalpis n.sp., and of the relationship of the nepalicola-group to other members of the Thienemannimyia Series is given. The group may be regarded as apomorphic but it stands in isolation from the main Palearctic Thienemannimyia Series. The unique form of the gonocoxite lobe is a diagnostic feature of the group.
Zur Kenntnis der Käferfauna der Kanarischen Inseln 20 Die Gattung Brachyderes Schönherr (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Palm Thure 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genus Brachyderes Schönherr (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). - B. lusitanicus (F.) was collected in 1953 and 1957 on Fuerteventura and reported here as new for the islands (f. typica). From Gomera and Lanzarote so far no species belonging to this genus is known. According to Harald and HÅkan Lindberg (1958:40-41) each of the islands of Hierro, La Palma, Tenerife and Gran Canaria has its own, specific species of Brachyderes. Viedma (1966:595), however, considers these four species to be geografically separated subspecies only, an opinion strongly supported by the results of this investigation: B. rugatus rugatus Woll. (La Palma), B.r.calvus Uytt. (Gran Canaria), B.r.sculpturatus Woll. (Tenerife) and B.r.hierroënsis Har. Lindb. (Hierro).
On the identity of Isotoma ekmani nom.nov. pro I. pallida Agrell, 1939 (nec Nicolet, 1842, Moniez, 1894) (Collembola: Isotomidae)
Authors: Fjellberg Arne 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIsotoma notabilis Schäffer, I. agrelli Delamare and I. ekmani nom. nov. are easily separable by differences in the maxillary lamellae. I. ekmani is reported from Arctic Canada, Greenland and alpine habitats in Sweden and Norway. I. agrelli has been found in France and Norway. The distribution of I. notabilis is cosmopolitan.
Xenochlorodes magna n.sp. from Madeira (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Authors: Wolff Niels L. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractHemithea nubigena Wollaston, 1858 was described from Madeira where it occurred in abundance in the Erica-woods at the highest altitudes of the island, even on the extreme summit of the Pico Ruivo (1830 m a.s.l.). The species is still common in these localities, but has never been found outside Madeira. It is now transferred to the genus Xenochlorodes Warren, 1897. No other pure green-coloured species of Geometridae are known from Madeira. Pinker (1971) depicts a large green ♀ specimen of Geometridae from Madeira (Serra d'Agua) measuring 28 mm in wing expanse, compared with 15-20 mm in normal X. nubigena. Even so, Pinker regards this specimen as an abnormally developed giant of nubigena. Examination of new material (22 specimens), shows the large specimens to belong to a distinct species, described here as Xenochlorodes magna n.sp.
Larval characters of Scandinavian Hylobius species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Lekander Bertil 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genus Hylobius Schönh. is represented by four species in Scandinavia: abietis L., piceus De G., pinastri Gyll. and transversovittatus Goeze. Larvae of the three first-mentioned species have been known earlier, but in connection with the description of the larva of transversovittatus, a revision of the larvae of all species was performed, resulting in a key. The different shape of the maxillae of the larvae of Pissodes and Hylobius is described for the first time.

Entomological collections in the contemporary world
Authors:   Ke Chung Kim
Published: July 2010

AbstractEntomological collections developed by taxonomists and taxonomically - inclined entomologists are unique resources for research, teaching and service activities in entomology. An entomological collection is a permanent information storage and retrieval system for insects and other arthropods. We must expand systematic research associated with entomological collections while meeting the escalating demand for taxonomic services from the user community. To achieve these objectives we should adopt more efficient storage and retrieval systems for entomological collections wherever possible. As we move to conserve the world's fauna and flora, all of us in the entomological community must be committed to the preservation of the principle that affirms free exchange of scientific specimens of insects and other arthropods among scientists of all nations for free scientific inquiry, and to the protection of science from unduly political legislation.
Functions of entomological collections
Authors: Kim K.C. , Lindroth Carl H. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIt is emphasized that, though the primary goal of an entomological museum is to serve as fundament for taxonomic research, new and important branches of entomology have added other duties. Studies in biogeography and in analyses of infraspecific variation require storing of virtually unlimited samples of the natural populations. And all information on the ecology of species, in form of journals, diaries, correspondence etc. of the collectors, should be carefully preserved and arranged so as to permit exact reference from the insect specimen. It is also a duty of the museum to initiate the preservation of base material used in, for instance, physiological and genetic research.

Spiders of the genus Micaria Westr. from the Torneträsk area in Northern Swedish Lapland
Authors: Holm Åke 
Published: July 2010

AbstractMicaria tripunctata n. sp. from the Abisko National Park in the Torneträsk area is described and M. pulicaria (Sund.) and M. aenea Thor. are reported from this area for the first time. Diagnoses and descriptions of their copulatory organs are given as also of M. alpina L. Koch, the only species of the genus previously known from the same area. A functional relationship between the retinaculum of the bulb of the male palp and a pair of small grooves, here designated as the retinacular pockets, is suggested.
Neotherevella, a new genus of Therevidae (Diptera) from the Palaearctic and Afrotropical Regions
Authors: Lyneborg Leif 
Published: July 2010

AbstractNeotherevella n.gen. is proposed as a replacement for Neothereva Kröber sensu Lyneborg (1976). Neothereva Kröber, 1912, is placed in new synonymy with Thereva Latreille, 1796, as the consequence of an overlooked designation of a type-species for Neothereva Kröber, 1912, by Kröber (1935). Neotherevella is fully described. Five specific names are placed in new combination with Neotherevella, which is known from Namibia, Mauritania, Algeria, Sudan, Egypt, Israel, Uzbechistan and Mongolia. It is demonstrated that two species described in combination with Neothereva by Zaitzev (1970) do not belong to Neotherevella.
The availability of insect collections for taxonomic research
Authors: Mound L.A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractTaxonomic collections must be available for study to present day scientists as well as to their successors in future generations. This conflict between present day availability and preservation for posterity is discussed with reference to general collections as well as primary types. Collections of biological specimens for reference purpose and taxonomic research are essentially archival material needing to be segregated from collections used for teaching or exhibitions purposes. As with all archival material reference specimens and primary types should be deposited where their long term preservation can be safely assured.

Pyrobombus lapponicus auct., in Europe recognized as two species: P. lapponicus (Fabricius, 1793) and P. monticola (Smith, 1849) (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Bombinae)
Authors: Svensson Bo G. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractPyrobombus (Pyrobombus) lapponicus (Fabricius, 1793) and P. (P.) monticola (Smith, 1849) are described from type material. The male and worker are described of the former; the lectotype and a paralectotype (worker) are designated and in addition the male of P. monticola is described. Type studies of rondoui Vogt, 1909 and scandinavicus Friese, 1911, previously regarded as subspecies of P. lapponicus, revealed conspecificity with P. monticola. Furthermore, the subspecies hypsophilus Skorikov, 1912 and konradini Reinig, 1965 are also regarded as forms of P. monticola. The status of glacialis Schneider, 1902 is uncertain. P. lapponicus is distributed in northern Europe: Fennoscandia - eastwards in the northern parts of the USSR, while P. monticola exhibits a boreo-alpine distribution: Fennoscandia, eastwards on the Kola peninsula, the British Isles, Italy, the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Balkan mountains. In Fennoscandia P. lapponicus is found both in alpine/subalpine habitats and in adjacent coniferous forests, whereas P. monticola is restricted to alpine/subalpine areas. A comparative diagnosis of the two species, reinforced by drawings, is given. Metric studies of male abdominal sternite 7, hind basitarsus and position of ocelli on the vertex of queens were made to establish their diagnostic value. Some remarks on the biology of both species are also provided. The status of the Nearctic forms allied to P. lapponicus are discussed.

Origin and genetics of industrial melanism of Oligia strigilis (L.) in Finland (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Authors: Mikkola Kauri 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe melanism of Oligia strigilis (L.) occurs in Finland as geugraphical isolates, whereas that of O. latruncula (D. & Sch.) has a continuous distribution. The local populations of O. strigilis differ from each other in the colouration of the melanic moths and in the relationship between the numerical ratio of the colour forms and stage of air pollution. It appears that melanism has arisen independently in several localities, since diffuse gene flow between localities or from outside Finland seems improbable. According to this mosaic distribution and since the oldest melanic moths known from Finland date from 1961, an early stage of industrial melanism might be in evidence. - Two pairings showed that melanic colouration is a dominant character which seems to be controlled by a single gene pair. The role played by multiple allelism and/or incompleteness of the dominance in the variation of the external appearance of the melanics needs further investigation.
