Host Record (host + record)
Selected AbstractsNew host record for three scuttle flies, Megaselia flava, M. kanekoi and M. gotoi (Diptera: Phoridae), on the poisonous fungus Amanita ibotengutake (Agaricales: Amanitaceae)ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE, Issue 3 2005Hiroshi YAMASHITA Abstract We identified three species of fungivorous scuttle fly ,Megaselia flava, M. kanekoi and M. gotoi, from eight fruit bodies of a fungus, Amanita ibotengutake, which has not previously been recorded as the host of these flies. [source] Gregarious emergence of Macrostomion sumatranum (Hymenoptera: Braconidae; Rogadinae) from the mummified, full-grown larvae of Theretra silhetensis (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE, Issue 2 2005Kaoru MAETO Abstract Twenty-six to 160 adults of Macrostomion sumatranum emerged from a mummified full-grown larva of a sphingid moth, Theretra silhetensis, on taro in Okinawa-jima, Japan. This is the first host record of M. sumatranum. The sex ratio was female-biased in a small brood but less so or even male-biased in a large brood. [source] First record of the woodwasp family Xiphydriidae from Tasmania with a description of a new species and host recordAUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, Issue 1 2009John T Jennings Abstract Rhysacephala warraensis Jennings & Austin, sp. nov., (Hymenoptera: Xiphydriidae), is described, being the first record of a xiphydriid woodwasp from Tasmania. Four females were reared from ,horizontal', Anodopetalum biglandulosum (Cunoniaceae), the first confirmed host record for an Australian xiphydriid. [source] A Taxonomic Revision of Illiberis Walker (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae: Procridinae) in KoreaENTOMOLOGICAL RESEARCH, Issue 4 2004Sung-Soo KIM ABSTRACT The Korean species of Illiberis Walker are revised. A total of 10 species are recognized, including four species new to Korea: I. rotundata Jordan, I. psychina (OberthÜr), I. consimilis Leech, and I. hyalina (Staudinger). The identities of I. cybele Leech and I. assimilis Jordan, the two ambiguously defined Korean species, are reconfirmed with the examination of type specimens and additional materials. Photos of the adults and type materials are provided, and male and female genitalia of each species are illustrated. Biology and distribution for each species are briefly discussed with the larval host records from Korea. [source] The Rumen Ciliate Fauna of Domestic Sheep (Ovis ammon aires) from the Turkish Republic of Northern CyprusTHE JOURNAL OF EUKARYOTIC MICROBIOLOGY, Issue 4 2001BAYRAM GÖÇMEN ABSTRACT. Concentration and composition of ciliate protozoa in the families Ophryoscolecidae and Isotrichidae were determined in rumen contents of domestic sheep (Ovis ammon aries) from Cyprus. A total of five genera of Ophryoscolecidae were identified, Metadinium, Enoploplastron, Polyplastron, Epidinium, and Ophryoscolex, which included six species: Metadinium affine, Enoploplastron triloricatum, Polyplastron multivesiculatum, Epidinium ecaudatum, Epidinium graini, and Ophryoscolex purkynjei. Eight separate forms of Epidinium were identified (E. ecaudatum f. ecaudatum, E, e. f. caudatum, E. e. f. bicaudatum, E. e. f. tricaudatum, E. e. f. quadricaudatum, E. graini f. graini, E. g. f. caudatricoronatum, and E. g. f. caudaquadricoronatum), along with five forms of Ophryoscolex purkynjei (O. p. f. purkynjei, O. p. f. bifidobicinctus, O. p. f. bifidoquadricinctus, O. p. f. bicoronatus, O. p. f. tricoronatus, and O. p. f. quadricoronatus). Three species of Isotrichidae were observed, Isotricha intestinalis, I. prostoma, and Dasytricha ruminantium. This study reports new host records for three forms of Epidinium graini and Ophryoscolex purkynjei f. bifidobicinctus. The rumen fauna in the family Ophryoscolecidae from Cypriote domestic sheep appear to have limited diversity compared to those from Turkish and Far Eastern (Chinese/Japanese) sheep, while they are more diverse than those found in Western European (Scottish) and North American (Canadian/Alaskan) sheep.
