Sequential rearing method from larva to adult water beetles (Coleoptera) using devices created with a three-dimensional printer Aquat. Insects (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2022-03-17 Toshio Inoda, Kohei Watanabe, Shun Yamasaki
Abstract Water beetles are holometabolous, which have a pupal period in their ontogeny. When rearing water beetles in a laboratory, both aquatic and land environments should be provided. We designed and created a new system for rearing water beetles, and tested it with five species. Seven parts of three-dimensional printed objects were assembled to make two containers for a larva and a pupa. The assembled

Temporal and spatial patterns for larval populations of Sisyridae (Neuroptera) in aquatic habitats of east central Georgia, USA Aquat. Insects (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2022-03-17 Kelly M. Murray-Stoker, Joseph V. McHugh, Darold P. Batzer
Abstract We monitored aquatic invertebrate communities in the Ogeechee River (four years) and Carolina bay wetlands (five years) in Georgia, USA. Typically rare, Sisyridae (Neuroptera) larvae were relatively common in both habitats (4–6% sample occurrence). However, different species occurred in each, Climacia areolaris (Hagen, 1861) in the river and Sisyra vicaria (Walker, 1853) in the wetlands. In

Abstract The examination of small samples of caddisflies collected in the Cuc Phuong National Park in Vietnam in 2019 resulted in the identification of 45 species. All species are listed including 10 species which were determined to genus level only. Five new species were identified, which are described herein as: Chimarra calcarata sp. n., Ecnomus eberhardmeyi sp. n., Pseudoneureclipsis bicolorata

Abstract New faunistic data are presented for six water beetle families from Mongolia. The family Dryopidae, with the genus Dryops Olivier, 1791, and the genus Platambus Thomson, 1859 of the family Dytiscidae are recorded for the first time from Mongolia. Agabus semipunctatus (Kirby, 1837), previously known only from the Nearctic Region, is reported for the first time from the Palearctic. Eight species
