Bassettia
''Bassettia'' is a genus of gall wasps found in North America. Taxonomic history This genus was circumscribed by William Harris Ashmead in 1887. Ashmead named the genus after "Mr. H. F. Bassett, of Waterbury, Conn., who has done so much towards advancing our knowledge of these intricate Hymenopters". Two species were included in the genus's initial circumscription: ''B. floridana'', described in the same work, and '' B. tenuicornis''. Bassett had described the latter species in 1881, placing it in the genus ''Cynips''. Ashmead later designated ''B. floridana'' as the genus's type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specime ....

Bassettia Pallida
''Bassettia pallida'' is a species of gall wasp found in the Southern United States. This species was described by American entomologist William Harris Ashmead in 1896. ''B. pallida'' reproduces asexually in galls it induces on oak trees. The parasite '' Euderus set'', a eulophid wasp, has ''B. pallida'' as a host and manipulates its behavior. Taxonomy William Harris Ashmead described this species in 1896 based on a female specimen in the National Museum of Natural History. The holotype was collected in 1884 in Georgia. Distribution This species has been found in the American states of Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas. Its type location is Savannah, Georgia. Description Adult female The female is long. The antennae have thirteen joints. The head, antennae, thorax and legs are a brownish yellow color, while the posterior tibiae and eyes are dark brown and the abdomen is a polished black. A grooved line goes around the base of the scutellum. Biology Re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Homer Franklin Bassett
Homer Franklin Bassett (September 2, 1826 – June 28, 1902) was an American hymenopterist specializing in gall wasps. In addition, he was the librarian of Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury, Connecticut. Early life and education Bassett was born on September 2, 1826 in the town of Florida, Massachusetts. His parents were Ezra and Keziah (née Witt) Bassett. In 1836 he and his father moved to Rockport, Ohio. He enrolled in Oberlin College in 1847, but due to poor health he had to leave the following year. He returned to New England in 1849. Work as librarian Bassett worked at the Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury, Connecticut for nearly thirty years. He started work on September 1, 1872 after the resignation of W. I. Fletcher, its first librarian. The number of volumes in the library more than quadrupled in his first five years. Bassett also made a card catalog of the collection's 2,800 pamphlets. He also was the librarian during the move to a new building in 1894. He al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cynipidae
Gall wasps, also incorrectly called gallflies, are hymenopterans of the family Cynipidae in the wasp superfamily Cynipoidea. Their common name comes from the galls they induce on plants for larval development. About 1,300 species of this generally very small creature (1–8 mm) are known worldwide, with about 360 species of 36 different genera in Europe and some 800 species in North America. Features Like all Apocrita, gall wasps have a distinctive body shape, the so-called wasp waist. The first abdominal tergum (the propodeum) is conjoined with the thorax, while the second abdominal segment forms a sort of shaft, the petiole. The petiole connects with the gaster, which is the functional abdomen in apocritan wasps, starting with the third abdominal segment proper. Together, the petiole and the gaster form the metasoma, while the thorax and the propodeum make up the mesosoma. The antennae are straight and consist of two or three segments. In many varieties, the backside ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
