AbstractThe Eurasian nabid Himacerus apterus (Fabricius) is reported for the first time for North America. Several individuals have been collected between 1943 and 1989 in eastern Nova Scotia. Generic and specific diagnoses are given, and the genus is inserted in Slater and Baranowski’s (1978) key to the genera of North American Nabidae. The geographical distribution and bionomics of the species are briefly discussed.

The lungworm nematode Varestrongylus alpenae (Dikmans, 1935) Dougherty, 1945 is reported in Canada for the first time. Dorsal-spined, first-stage nematode larvae were found in 19% of 1098 fecal pellet groups of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) randomly collected in central and eastern Saskatchewan. These larvae developed to the infective stage, experimentally, in the gastropods Triodopsis albolabris and Triodopsis multilineata and were infective to captive mule deer (Odocoileus h. hemionus) and white-tailed deer fawns. All of four mule deer and two of three white-tailed deer developed patent infections (mule deer in 43–49 days and white-tailed deer in 54–55 days). Adults nematodes, identified as Varestrongylus alpenae, were recovered from the lung parenchyma of two mule deer. The geographical distribution of V. alpenae in white-tailed deer in North America is discussed.

Herein we report for the first time the occurrence of Phaenomys ferrugineus in the state of Minas Gerais and present additional data on the geographical distribution of Abrawayaomys ruschii and Rhagomys rufescens in this state. These latter two species were reported from some localities in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, but their presence in Minas Gerais state is restricted to few localities. These data reinforce the necessity of surveys over long periods of time and the use of pitfall traps in order to establish the real geographical distribution of small mammal species and to indicate priority areas for the conservation of this group of mammals.

A New Species

A reappraisal is presented of the taxonomy of three of the four alternate-leaved species of Chrysosplenium occurring in North America, namely C. tetrandrum, C. iowense, and C. Rosendahlii, the latter a new species described for the first time. The investigation demonstrates that the species can be readily separated morphologically even as seedlings. Each morphological entity is characterized by a different chromosome number, C. tetrandrum 2n = 24, C. Rosendahlii 2n = 96. C. iowense 2n = c.120, and a distinctive geographical distribution. C. iowense, which has on occasions been regarded as identical with C. alternifolium var. sibiricum, is retained as a species in the absence of a modern taxonomic analysis of the Old World species C. alternifolium.

AbstractThe last-instar nymph of the nabid Lasiomerus annulatus (Reuter) is described for the first time and a diagnosis of the adult is presented. Its geographical distribution is detailed and the northern limit of its range in North America is established at 45 °37′N latitude. New phenological and ecological information is provided based on collections made in Québec from 1979 to 1985 and the bioecology is discussed, especially with regard to habitat preferences and phenological cycle.

Ecology and distribution of the Asian bee Megachile sculpturalis Smith 1853 (Apoidea - Megachilidae - Megachilini): a state of knowledge ten years after its first observation in Europe. - Megachile sculpturalis (the Giant Resin Bee) is a bee species native to East Asia that has been observed for the first time in Europe in 2008 in Allauch near Marseille (France). In the USA, it has been reported in 1994 and has since then rapidly expanded through North America. We here provide a review on its ecology and its geographical distribution.

AbstractSeven species of Nabicula Kirby occur in Canada: N. americolimbata (Carayon), N. flavomarginata (Scholtz), N. limbata (Dahlbom), N. nigrovittata nearctica (Kerzhner), N. propinqua (Reuter), N. subcoleoptrata Kirby, and N. vanduzeei (Kirkaldy), of which N. limbata is officially recorded for the first time for North America. A faunistic review of the species, key to all taxa, generic diagnosis, and characters distinguishing male and female last-instar nymphs are presented. As appropriate for each species, die following are provided: synonymy, description of adult, wing polymorphism, taxonomic comments, detailed geographical distribution, bioecology, and illustration of important structural characters and nymphal instars. The last-instar nymphs of N. americolimbata, N. nigrovittata nearctica, N. propinqua, N. subcoleoptrata, and N. vanduzeei are described and illustrated for the first time. The biogeography of Nabicula is considered with regard to species diversity patterns, ecological assemblages, species distribution patterns, and relationships between macroptery and geographical distribution.

Drosophila suzukii (Diptera, Drosophilidae) is an exotic species, endemic to Asia and currently a pest to small and stone fruits in several countries of North America and Europe. It was detected in 2013 for the first time in South America, in the south of Brazil. Unlike most drosophilids, this species deserves special attention, because the females are capable of oviposit inside healthy fruits, rendering their sale and export prohibited. Despite the confirmed existence of this species in different states of Brazil, this insect is yet been to be given the pest status. Nevertheless, the mere presence of this species is enough to cause concern to producers of small fruits and to justify further investigation for it’s control, especially chemical control for a possible change in status. Therefore, the goal of this work was to evaluate, in laboratory, mortality of D. suzukii adults and ovicidal effect when exposed to different insecticides registered for species of the Tephritidae and Agromyzidae families in different cultures. The insecticides deltamethrin, dimethoate, spinosad, fenitrothion, phosmet, malathion, methidathion, and zeta-cypermethrin resulted in mortality to 100 % of the subjects three days after the treatment (DAT). Regarding the effects over eggs, it was  established that the insecticides fenitrothion, malathion, and methidathion deemed 100 % of the eggs not viable, followed by phosmet and diflubenzuron, which also caused elevated reduction in the eclosion of larvae two DAT.
