One new species, four new records and key to species of Hydatothrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) from China (including Taiwan).

Hydatothrips ormosiae sp. n. (Thripidae: Sericothripinae) is described from southern China; H. ekasi, H. liquidambara and H. onari Kudô are newly recorded for mainland China, and H. noro Kudô is newly recorded for Taiwan. A key to the 16 Hydatothrips species recorded from China (including Taiwan) is provided.

Mechanics and Energetics of Excavation by Burrowing Wolf Spiders, Geolycosa spp.

Burrowing wolf spiders, Geolycosa sp. (Araneae:Lycosidae), excavate vertical burrows and inhabit them throughout their lives or, in the case of males, until they mature and wander in search of mates. Three species: G. fatifera Kurata, G. missouriensis Banks, and G. rogersi Wallace were studied to understand how and at what expense the burrowing is accomplished. Normal and high-speed videography...

Burrowing Wolf Spiders, Geolycosa spp. (Araneae: Lycosidae): Gap Specialists in Fire-Maintained Florida Scrub

Florida Scrub is a hotspot of biological diversity containing many endemic species such as burrowing wolf spiders (Geolycosa species), that are threatened by habitat destruction. This study investigated why two spicies, G. xera archiboldi (McCrone) and G. hubbelli Wallace, are significantly underrepresented in fire-maintained scrubby flatwoods, a widespread scrub habitat on the Lake Wales Ridge...

Taxonomic review and phylogenetic analysis of fifteen North American Entomobrya (Collembola, Entomobryidae), including four new species

The chaetotaxy of 15 species of eastern North American Entomobrya is redescribed in order to determine potential characters for the diagnosis of cryptic lineages and evaluate the diagnostic and phylogenetic utility of chaetotaxy. As a result, four new species (Entomobrya citrensis Katz & Soto-Adames, sp. n., Entomobrya jubata Katz & Soto-Adames, sp. n., Entomobrya neotenica Katz & Soto-Adames, ...
