In 2009 and 2010, a butterfly and skipper survey was conducted at Franklin Parker Preserve (FPP) located within Woodland Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. This survey was part of the joint cooperation between the American Entomological Society and the New Jersey Conservation Foundation and funded by a Research Experience for Undergraduates grant. Franklin Parker Preserve is located in the center of the Pine Barrens, where insect fauna has not been strongly studied and inventoried, specifically with the Lepidoptera fauna. Through this survey, fifty-three butterfly and skipper species have been documented to occur on Franklin Parker Preserve property. Time of year and abundance of these species were recorded. Three Species of Special Concern listed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection were found at FPP: Callophrys hesseli Rawson & Ziegler (Hessel's Hairstreak) Euphyes bimacula Grote & Robinson (Two-Spotted Skipper) and Hesperia attalus Edwards (Dotted Skipper.) This paper provides baseline data for the butterflies and skippers in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and will be helpful for future biodiversity and conservation managements that should occur.
Twenty one new species are added to the leafhopper genus Erythrogonia from South America. Sixteen species, acuminata, ancora, anisa, apicalis, bidigitata, bispinata, clavata, elongata, expanda, gorgonica, grandis, lateralis, lobata, retosa, rotunda, and undulata, from Colombia; two species, guianae and rara, from French Guiana; two species, boliviana and dirhachis, from Bolivia; and one species, peruviana, from Peru. A list of species with new country records, and a key to the species of this genus is also included.
We report 15 species of Megaloptera from the Interior Highlands of Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma including 2 genera and 9 species of Sialidae and 4 genera and 6 species of Corydalidae. New state distributional records are reported for Protosialis americana (Rambur) from Illinois, Sialis joppa Ross and S. vagans Ross from Missouri, and Chauliodes pectinicornis (L.) and Nigronia serricornis (Say) from Oklahoma. Distributional and biological data are summarized for each species where available. An illustrated key to the species occurring in the Interior Highlands is included.
Five new species of crickets in the subfamily Eneopterinae (tribe Hapithini) are reported from Jamaica and Puerto Rico. The species are Antillicharis dystheratos n.sp, A. vocatus n.sp., A. volatus n.sp., Laurepa killos n.sp. and Orocharis elyunquensis n.sp. The last species is described from Puerto Rico.
The faunistic composition, ecological properties and zoogeographical composition of Cerambycidae of the Central Anatolian Region in Turkey were examined. Seventy-eight species, 20 tribes and 38 genera were identified. The Central Anatolian region's cerambycid fauna is relatively similar to that of Turkey and shares many species with the European part of the Western Palearctic.
Nineteen new species are added to the Genus Taperinha Linnavouri from South America. The new species are Taperinha nuda, T. trigona, T. angulata, T. hamata, T. media, T. ungulata, T. lobata, T. anisota, T. lapayensis, T. odonta from Colombia; T. retusa, T. zanolae from French Guiana; T. dozieri, T. longicornis from Ecuador; T. elongata from Suriname; T. stypa from Venezuela; and T. bulba, T. stenostyla, T. peruviana from Peru. A key to the species known from Colombia is included.
Twenty-seven species of Eremidium are now known. In this paper sixteen new species are named and described. The genus ranges along the eastern scarp of South Africa, preferring lush vegetation, often at the margins of forests, but also occurring in the eastern extension of the fynbos region of the Cape. Illustrations of Nyassacris are provided for comparison.
Melanoplus foxiHebard, 1923 (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Melanoplinae) is a flightless and morphologicallydistinct member of the Puer Group of grasshoppers that is endemic to sandhills in the state of Georgia, U.S.A. This species had not been collected in almost 60 years despite our combined eight years of independently searching for it in and around all known localities. Thus, the species was thought to possibly be extinct until our rediscovery of a combined total of 33 specimens of M. foxi in May of 2015 in three locations: Seminole State Park and Little Ocmulgee State Park and Lodge, which are protected areas, and along the road just outside of the latter. The discovery of a large number of specimens of M. foxi among the unidentified grasshoppers in the collection of the University of Michigan's Museum of Zoology's Insect Division and the subsequent examination of the collectors' digitized field notes (linked to the specimens via a code system) led directly to the discovery of these extant populations. This rediscovery highlights the need for detailed field notes and retaining their link to the specimens they describe, often an arduous task, but one which some institutions are embracing by converting field notebooks into digital form either via wholesale scanning, transcription, or a combination of both, and allowing the public to access them on the internet. Such data are invaluable and should be recorded by field explorers and made available to others whenever possible. In addition, absence or negative data, largely unreported in natural history publications, also played a role in the rediscovery of this unique species because it gave us the ability to keep track of investigated sites, and these are reported here to assist in planning future field trips to discover new locations harboring M. foxi.
