متن کاملEvolutionary assembly of the milkweed fauna: cytochrome oxidase I and the age of Tetraopes beetles.
The insects that feed on the related plant families Apocynaceae and Asclepiadaceae (here collectively termed "milkweeds") comprise a "component community" of highly specialized, distinctive lineages of species that frequently sequester toxic cardiac glycosides from their host plants for defense against predators and are thus often aposematic, advertising their consequent unpalatability. Such se...
متن کاملNote on Rondibilis similis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae).
Eryssamena was erected by Bates (1884) based on three species E. saperdina, E. acuta and E. spinidorsis, which Breuning (1977) recognised to be the same species: Eryssamena saperdina Bates, 1884. Although Eryssamena had been accepted as an independent genus for a long time, Kusama & Takakuwa (1984) and Hashimoto (2008) considered it as a subgenus of Rondibilis Thomson, 1857. Holzschuh (2003) tr...
متن کاملReview of the genus Susuacanga (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae).
The genus Susuacanga Martins, 1997 is redescribed. A new combination, S. blancaneaui (Bates, 1880) comb. nov. and a new synonymy, Eburia unicolor Bates, 1870 = S. octoguttata (Germar, 1821) are proposed. The genus is now composed of 12 species. The geographical distribution of S. opaca is expanded to include Belize. Photographs of Susuacanga species are included and a key to differentiate them ...
متن کاملMethiini and Oemini (coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) of Hispaniola
Two species of Methiini, Tessaropa hispaniolae Lingafelter, new species, and Methia dolichoptera Lingafelter, new species, (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from Hispaniola are diagnosed, described, and illustrated. The Dominican Republic represents a new country record for Malacopterus tenellus (F.) (Oemini). A discussion of the tribal characters, followed by a key to the four species of both tribes ...
