The termite fauna of a plantation of Eucaliptus urophylla S.T. Blake (Myrtales: Mytaceae) in Buritis, Minas Gerais, was manually sampled in 12 transects. The assemblage contained 28 species belonging to Termitidae and Rhinotermitidae. This assemblage corresponds to a subset of the native fauna of the cerrado previously present in this region. Compared to the original native fauna, it has a lowe...

Thirty six species of horse flies (Tabanidae) were previously known from Serbia (Europe). The present faunistic study of horse flies (Tabanidae) has resulted in the recording of the 4 new species Atylotus fulvus (Meigen, 1804); Tabanus miki Brauer in Brauer and Bergenstamm, 1880; Tabanus unifasciatus Loew, 1858; and Heptatoma pellucens (Fabricius, 1776), in the fauna of Serbia. The genus Heptat...

New data on Chinese Tersilochinae are provided: one species, Tersilochus scutatus sp. n., is described from Liaoning province of China and the Russian Far East, and two species, Barycnemis bellator (Müller) and Tersilochus curvator Horstmann, are new records from China. Thus, this work raises the total number of known Chinese species to 31. Two close species, Diaparsis pulchra Khalaim and D. ra...

Analysis of the bat fauna of the Antillean Islands suggest that the most probable source of invnsion of the islands by bats is by overwaLer dispersal. The bat fauDa of ·the Greater Antilles is unique, a percentage of endemism on each island being over 50 percent except for the Virgin Islands which has 33 percent endemics. The richest bat fauna in the Antilles is on Cuba (32 species) followed by...

Here, we characterize the cool weather insect fauna found associated with partially skeletonized and desiccated human remains recovered from an abandoned house in an urban area of subtropical, coastal Galveston County, Texas, and use the information to conclude an approximate postmortem interval of 7-10 months. The predominant factors that allow for a confident assessment of the postmortem inte...

the thysanoptera fauna of iran are still very incompletely known. as a result of the study of thrips fauna in different localities of khorasan-e-razavi province during 2012-2014, a total of 46 species in 20 genera and 3 families are recorded for this area. among them, 43 species are newly recorded for the fauna of this province; and pezothrips dianti is newly recorded for the fauna of iran. dis...

Heterotrophic nanoplankton flagellates and bacteria were quantified at regular intervals during a month in Limfjorden, Denmark. The number of flagellates averaged about 103 ml-l and ranged from < 2 X 102 to about 3 X 103 ml-l. The composition of this fauna was dominated by choanoflagellates, non-plgmented chrysomonads and bicoecids; other forms are rarer. A substantial part of this fauna is ass...

Five species of eriophyoid mites were identified during surveys of mite fauna associated with plant species of the family Compositae from Southwest of East Azerbaijan province during 2010 and 2011. Two of them, Aceria virgatae n. sp. from Centaurea virgata Lam. and Aceria xeranthenzis n. sp. from Xeranthemumn squarrosum Boiss., were found to be new to science. No damage symptoms were observed o...
