Simulium Decorum

Thirteen described species of outlet-breeding simuliids and five isomorphic sibling species of the Simulium venustum/verecundum complexes were collected in 1978 and 1979. Prosimulium fuscum, P. mixtum, Simulium aestivum, S. aureum, S. decorum; S. tuberosum, S. venustum (CC) and S. vernum were the most widely distributed species while S. aureum, S. decorum and S. venustum (CC) were the most abundant. Simulium decorum, S. tuberosum and S. venustum (AC(gB) and CC) were present at the same sites during both years while the remaining species varied in their occurrence at a specific site between the two years. Succession of Simulium spp. in late winter and spring was similar to that reported from other areas of northern North America. Most Simulium spp. studied were multivoltine while S. corbis, S. croxtoni and S. venustum (A/C) were univoltine. Simulium decorum had single or multiple generations, depending on the site. Larvae of S. venustum (A/C) and most species of the subgenus Eusimulium attached to trailing vegetation, while S. corbis, S. decorum, and S. tuberosum attached more frequently to submerged rocks and sticks. Prosimulium fontanum, S. gouldingi, S. venustum (CC and AC(gB)), and S. verecundum (A/C and ACD) did not demonstrate preference for a particular substrate. Reduction in stream flow affected the number of cohorts of S. aestivum and S. aureum and the number of generations per year of S. aureum and S. vernum.

The Relationship

The paper proposes standard polytene chromosome maps for species groups in the subgenus Simulium. In the S. venustum/verecundum complex we distinguish by their chromosomes a minimum of seven sibling species designated by their IIS sequences, as follows: EFG/C (S. truncatum?) holarctic; EFG, Germany; CC (S. venustum?) North America (with probably CC 1 a separate sibling); A/C venustum, New Hampshire (with AC(gB) venustum Newfoundland probably distinct); CC 2 Ontario, Newfoundland; AA verecundum Newfoundland (with possibly A/C verecundum, Ontario distinct); and ACD (S. verecundum? = sublacustre) holarctic. Three of these taxa (EFG/C, ACD, and CC) were probably recognized by taxonomists, though the circumpolar distribution of the first two was not reliably recorded. The remaining species were not previously resolved. The chromosomal characteristics of all species are described and notes are given on available details of their biology and distribution. Some broad aspects of the relationship between cytological and taxonomic methodology in the group are discussed.

Abstract A description is provided for Isthmiella faullii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Apparently confined to Abies balsamea. DISEASE: Causes a needle blight of Abies balsamea. According to Darker (1932), it 'is the commonest and most destructive of the Hypodermataceae on Abies balsamea in eastern North America'. It is particularly damaging to seedlings and juvenile plants. In northern Ontario, from where the disease was originally identified, infection occurs during the summer, but signs of the disease do not appear until the following spring, when needles become brown and conidiomata develop, conidia being discharged in July, and shortly after this ascomata begin to form, maturing in July of the following year. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Reported from Canada: Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and USA: Michigan and New Hampshire. TRANSMISSION: Through air dispersal of ascospores, which directly infect the leaves (Darker, 1932).

Facultative Parthenogenesis

AbstractTrichadenotecnum alexanderae Sommerman is shown to represent one biparental (= euphrasic) species capable of facultative parthenogenesis (thelytoky) and three uniparental (= obligatorily parthenogenetic) sibling species, as determined by tests for mating, life history observations, and morphological analysis of specimens over the geographic range of the species complex. The name T. alexanderae is restricted to the biparental species because the holotype is a male. The three uniparental species are here named and described as T. castum n. sp., T. merum n. sp., and T. innuptum n. sp. The female of T. alexanderae is redescribed to allow its separation from the three uniparental species. A key to females of the species complex is supplied. All three uniparental species were derived from the biparental ancestor of T. alexanderae. Most collections of populations represented only by females consist of one or more uniparental species. Facultative parthenogenesis is shown to maintain a population of T. alexanderae through one generation only. The biparental species is found not to be restricted geographically to a relictual or peripheral range within the species complex, but to occupy a rather wide, north-temperate distribution across eastern North America.

Genus Camptocercus is represented in North America by four species. Camptocercus rotundus Herrick, 1882 is proved to be a valid species and is redescribed here. C. rotundus differs from its sibling species, neotropical C. dadayi Stingelin, 1913, in morphology of the postabdominal claw, presence of posteroventral denticles on valves, and morphology of the male postabdomen. C. rotundus is distributed in South Canada and North USA from Pacific to Atlantic coast, whereas C. dadayi is found in Mexico and South-East USA. C. oklahomensis Mackin, 1930 is found in Central USA. C. streletskaye Smirnov, 1998, previously known from Chukotka and Magadan Area of Russia, was found in Alaska for the first time.
