Native Bee

The native bee fauna of Mississippi, USA has been historically poorly sampled, but is of particular relevance to determine range limits for species that occur in the southern United States. Currently published literature includes 184 species of bees that occur within the state of Mississippi. Additions to the list of native bees known for Mississippi are reported with notes on range, ecology and resources for identification.The geographic ranges of seven additional species are extended into the state of Mississippi: Andrena (Melandrena) obscuripennis Smith, 1853,AnthemurguspassifloraeRobertson, 1902,Dieunomiabolliana(Cockerell 1910), Diadasia (Diadasia) enavata (Cresson 1872),Peponapiscrassidentata(Cockerell 1949),TriepeolussubnitensCockerell and Timberlake, 1929 andBrachynomadanimia(Snelling and Rozen 1987). These records raise the total number of published species known from the state to 191.AnthemurgusandBrachynomadaare also genera new to Mississippi.

Bee Communities

Native bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) were sampled using bee bowls in two states to determine biodiversity in commercial cotton fields of the southern United States. In both states, native bee communities found in cotton fields were dominated by generalist pollinators in the genera Agapostemon, Augochloropsis, Halictus, and Lasioglossum (Hymenoptera: Halictidae), and Melissodes (Hymenoptera: Apidae). Melissodes tepaneca (Cresson) was the most abundant species found in cotton fields in both states. Some species collected are known specialists on other plant taxa, suggesting they may be tourist species. Here we provide a baseline species list of native bees found in cotton. Ordination indicated separation between the communities found in the two states when pooled by genus, but these differences were not significant. While cotton is grown in highly managed and disturbed landscapes, our data suggest that a community of common generalist native pollinators persists. Many of these species are also found in other cropping systems across North America.

The University

In 1938 a list of 1348 species of Diptera that, at that time, were known to occur in Alberta was published in the Canadian Journal of Research. Upon its appearance, specialists in several different groups in this order offered to re-examine all of the material in the University of Alberta collection that belonged to the families in which they were interested.This re-examination necessitates the replacement of 50 of the names that were recorded in 1938 and the addition of about 300 new records. These, together with the information generously provided by members of the Dominion Division of Entomology regarding unpublished records of species that are not represented in the University collection, brings the total Albertan records of flies to nearly 1900 species. A capture of unusual interest is the 'eye gnat' (Hippelates pusio Lw.), the distribution of which, on this continent, was, supposedly, confined to "the southern United States where the winters are mild".

Life History Data

Amorbimorpha Kruse, new genus, is described and illustrated. The genus ranges from Texas, U.S.A., south through Ve-racruz, Mexico, with greatest species richness documented from the middle to upper elevations of central Mexico. Twospecies are described as new: A. powelliana (type species) and A. mackayiana; the latter is the only species in the genusknown from the U.S.A. Also, two new combinations are proposed: A. schausiana (Walsingham, 1913) and A. spadicea(Walsingham, 1913). Male and female genitalia are illustrated for each species where known; A. spadicea is representedby a unique female. Limited biological and life history data are summarized based mainly on laboratory rearings from eggs deposited by confined females of A. powelliana. At least ten additional species remain to be described.

The milliped genus Pseudotremia Cope 1869 as it occurs in Virginia, USA, is reviewed, with new records and species, mostly from caves. Seventeen new species, Pseudotremia loomisi, P. contorta, P. cerberus, P. pomarium, P. orndorffi, P. peponocranium, P. glaber, P. fergusoni, P. jaculohamatum, P. fremens, P. hubbardi, P. ryensis, P. piscator, P. culveri, P. salfodina, P. johnholsingeri and P. inexpectata are described, for a total Virginia fauna of 25 species. Additional species are predicted to occur. New locality records are given for seven previously described species, Pseudotremia alecto Shear 1972, P. hobbsi Hoffman 1950, P. sublevis Loomis 1944, P. tuberculata Loomis 1939, P. momus Shear 1972, P. nodosa Loomis 1939, and P. valga Loomis 1943. Taxonomic characters useful in delimiting species of Pseudotremia are discussed.

Soybean rust, caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd., first was observed in the continental United States during 2004 on soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) in Louisiana (4), and on kudzu (Pueraria montana (Lour.) Merr. var. lobata (Willd.) Maesen & Almeida) in Florida (2). Kudzu is a leguminous weed that is prevalent in the southern United States with its range extending northward into other states including Illinois. In October 2009, a kudzu patch located in Pulaski County in southern Illinois was investigated for the presence of soybean rust. Twenty-five leaflets were collected, and the abaxial sides of leaflets were evaluated visually for the presence of uredinia with a dissecting microscope. Uredinia and urediniospores were found on two leaflets. When viewed with a compound microscope, urediniospores were hyaline, echinulate, and measured 20 × 25 μm. On the basis of uredinia and urediniospores, the disease tentatively was identified as soybean rust caused by P. pachyrhizi. To confirm the identification, one leaflet with pustules was assayed with a Soybean Rust QuickStix Diagnostic Kit (Envirologix, Portland, ME). For the other leaflet, the area of the pustule was excised (approximately 28 mm2) and an area of the leaflet at the margin on the opposite half of the leaflet with no visible pustule (approximately 54 mm2) was excised. DNA was extracted from the excised areas of the leaflet for confirmation by quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) using primers and probe specific to P. pachyrhizi and P. meibomiae (Arthur) Arthur (1). Both the QuickStix Diagnostic Kit and the Q-PCR confirmed the diagnosis as soybean rust caused by P. pachyrhizi. Q-PCR also suggested the presence of a nonsporulating latent rust infection on the same kudzu leaflet at the margin on the opposite side of the midrib. Soybean rust first was confirmed on soybean in Illinois in 2006 (3), but to our knowledge, this is the first observation of the disease on kudzu in the state. This report confirms that at least some kudzu plants in Illinois are susceptible to soybean rust and that latent kudzu infection may exist without outward signs of the fungus. Currently, this is the most northern observation of soybean rust on kudzu in North America. It is unknown what role, if any, Illinois kudzu will play in the epidemiology of soybean rust in the state. Since kudzu tops die after the first frost, there is no expectation of P. pachyrhizi to overwinter in Illinois on kudzu as it does in some states adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico. References: (1) R. D.

In the two preceding papers of this series 36 species and 3 varieties of Acridiæ have been recorded as occurring in Indiana. Since the last paper, published in the Entomologist for February, 1892, appeared, five additional species have been taken within the State, and many lacts have been gathered concerning the life history, habits and range of the species previously recorded. Moreover, my private collection has been largely increased by exchange for specimens from other parts of the United States, and I have possessed myself of almost all the literature extant upon the group, so that I am enabled to clear up a few mistakes in synonymy rvhich crept into my first papers.

Fifteen species of the genus Entoloma, found in high elevations of Nevado de Colima and the Tequila volcanos, both in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, are presented. Their macromorphological and micromorphological structures are described and general characteristics of their habitat; furthermore, comments about their distinctive features and similar species in the literature are given. Of these 15 species, three are described as new, 11 represent the first records for Mexico, and the remaining one is the second record for the country. The species generally show much resemblance to Entoloma taxa described from the Southern United States of America and to a lesser extent, those of Europe.
