Dryobius Miocenicus Cockerell 1908 Pl1 Fig5
''Dryobius sexnotatus'' is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is the only species in the monospecific genus ''Dryobius''. Taxonomic history The species was initially described by Thomas Say, who named it ''Callidium 6-fasciatum''. He placed it in the genus ''Callidium''. In 1850, John Lawrence LeConte transferred the species to be the sole member of his newly-circumscribed genus ''Dryobius'', making the name ''D. 6-fasciatus''. LeConte emended the specific name from ''6-fasciatus'' to ''sexfasciatus'' in 1859. In 1957, Earle Gorton Linsley coined the nomen novum ''Dryobius sexnotatus'' for this species as there was already a senior homonym with the same specific name used by a beetle described by Guillaume-Antoine Olivier prior to Say's description. The etymology of the generic name comes from the Greek words ''tree'' and ''to live''. Distribution Most specimens of ''D. sexnotatus'' come from the Ohio River Valley, but it has been documented in at least fo ...

Glossina Oligocena
Tsetse ( , or ) (sometimes spelled tzetze; also known as tik-tik flies), are large, biting flies that inhabit much of tropical Africa. Tsetse flies include all the species in the genus ''Glossina'', which are placed in their own family, Glossinidae. The tsetse are obligate parasites, which live by feeding on the blood of vertebrate animals. Tsetse have been extensively studied, because of their role in transmitting disease. They have a prominent economic impact in sub-Saharan Africa, as the biological vectors of trypanosomes, causing human and animal trypanosomiasis. Tsetse are multivoltine and long-lived, typically producing about four broods per year, with up to 31 broods over their lifespans. Tsetse can be distinguished from other large flies by two easily-observed features: Primarily, tsetse fold their wings over their abdomens completely when they are resting (so that one wing rests directly on top of the other); Secondly, tsetse also have a long proboscis, extending di ...

Eriophyes Beutenmulleri (galls On 'Salix') Cockerell 1908 Pl1 Fig3
''Eriophyes'' is a genus of acari that forms galls, specially on trees of the family Rosaceae. Some are called blister mites. The blue butterfly ''Celastrina serotina'' has been reported to feed on these galls and also on the mites, making it one of the uncommon carnivorous Lepidoptera. Species Species include: * '' Eriophyes alniincanae'' Nalepa, 1919 * '' Eriophyes amelancheus'' Nalepa, 1926 * ''Eriophyes arianus'' (Canestrini 1890) * '' Eriophyes betulae'' * '' Eriophyes betulinus'' * '' Eriophyes bucidae'' * '' Eriophyes buxi'' * ''Eriophyes calcercis'' , purple erineum maple mite * '' Eriophyes calophylli'' * '' Eriophyes calycophthirus'' * ''Eriophyes canestrini'' * ''Eriophyes canestrinii'' * ''Eriophyes cerasicrumena'' , black cherry finger gall mite * '' Eriophyes chondrillae'' * '' Eriophyes condrillae'' , gall mites * '' Eriophyes crataegi'' * ''Eriophyes cupulariae'' * ''Eriophyes dentatae'' * ''Eriophyes dimocarpi'' , longan gall mite * ''Eriophyes dive ...

Salix
Willows, also called sallows and osiers, from the genus ''Salix'', comprise around 400 speciesMabberley, D.J. 1997. The Plant Book, Cambridge University Press #2: Cambridge. of typically deciduous trees and shrubs, found primarily on moist soils in cold and temperate regions. Most species are known as willow, but some narrow-leaved shrub species are called osier, and some broader-leaved species are referred to as sallow (from Old English ''sealh'', related to the Latin word ''salix'', willow). Some willows (particularly arctic and alpine species) are low-growing or creeping shrubs; for example, the dwarf willow (''Salix herbacea'') rarely exceeds in height, though it spreads widely across the ground. Description Willows all have abundant watery bark sap, which is heavily charged with salicylic acid, soft, usually pliant, tough wood, slender branches, and large, fibrous, often stoloniferous roots. The roots are remarkable for their toughness, size, and tenacity to live, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gall Mite
Eriophyidae is a family of more than 200 genera of mites, which live as plant parasites, commonly causing galls or other damage to the plant tissues and hence known as gall mites. About 3,600 species have been described, but this is probably less than 10% of the actual number existing in this poorly researched family. They are microscopic mites and are yellow to pinkish white to purplish in color. The mites are worm like, and have only two pairs of legs. Their primary method of population spread is by wind. They affect a wide range of plants, and several are major pest species causing substantial economic damage to crops. Some species, however, are used as biological agents to control weeds and invasive plant species. Notable species Notable species in this family include: *'' Abacarus hystrix'', the cereal rust mite *'' Abacarus sacchari'', the sugarcane rust mite *'' Acalitus essigi'', the redberry mite, which affects blackberries *''Aceria chondrillae'', the chondrilla ga ...

Electromyrmex Klebsi IGRBA010 Profile
''Electromyrmex'' is an extinct genus of ants in the formicid subfamily Dolichoderinae. The genus contains a single described species, ''Electromyrmex klebsi'' and is known from a group of Middle Eocene fossils which were found in Europe. History and classification ''Electromyrmex'' is known from several fossil specimens of adult workers. A worker was first discovered preserved as an inclusion in a transparent chunk of Baltic amber, and additional workers have been identified from Baltic amber found in Lithuania. Workers of an undescribed species labeled as "''Electromyrmex'' sp A" have been found in Bitterfeld amber. Baltic amber is approximately forty six million years old, having been deposited during Lutetian stage of the Middle Eocene. There is debate on what plant family the amber was produced by, with macrofossil and microfossil evidence suggesting a ''Pinus'' relative, while chemical and spectroscopic evidence suggests ''Agathis'' or ''Sciadopitys''.

Myrmicinae
Myrmicinae is a subfamily of ants, with about 140 extant genera; their distribution is cosmopolitan. The pupae lack cocoons. Some species retain a functional sting. The petioles of Myrmicinae consist of two nodes. The nests are permanent and in soil, rotting wood, under stones, or in trees.Goulet, H & Huber, JT (eds.) (1993) Hymenoptera of the world: an identification guide to families. Agriculture Canada. p. 224 Identification Myrmicine worker ants have a distinct postpetiole, i.e., abdominal segment III is notably smaller than segment IV and set off from it by a well-developed constriction; the pronotum is inflexibly fused to the rest of the mesosoma, such that the promesonotal suture is weakly impressed or absent, and a functional sting is usually present. The clypeus is well-developed; as a result, the antennal sockets are well separated from the anterior margin of the head. Most myrmicine genera possess well-developed eyes and frontal lobes that partly conceal the an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Baltic Amber
The Baltic region is home to the largest known deposit of amber, called Baltic amber or succinite. It was produced sometime during the Eocene epoch, but exactly when is controversial. It has been estimated that these forests created more than 100,000 tons of amber. Today, more than 90% of the world's amber comes from Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia. It is a major source of income for the region; the local Kaliningrad Amber Combine extracted 250 tonnes of it in 2014, 400 tonnes in 2015. "Baltic amber" was formerly thought to include amber from the Bitterfeld Lignite, brown coal mines in Saxony (Eastern Germany). Bitterfeld amber was previously believed to be only 20–22 million years old (Miocene), but a comparison of the animal inclusions in 2003 suggested that it was possibly Baltic amber that was redeposited in a Miocene deposit. Further study of insect taxa in the ambers has shown Bitterfeld amber to be from the same forest as the Baltic amber forest, but separately deposited f ...
