New records of semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Gerromorpha) from the Caatinga biome, Brazil https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/102849/ Check List 19(3): 311-338

DOI: 10.15560/19.3.311

Authors: Juliana Mourão dos Santos Rodrigues, Felipe Ferraz Figueiredo Moreira

Abstract: Semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Gerromorpha) are small to mid-sized insects, currently represented by more than 2,100 known species distributed on all continents, except for Antarctica. So far, 244 species have been recorded from Brazil, but only 63 from the Northeast Region of the country. The relatively small number of species in this region is related to the virtual lack of knowledge on the fauna of the Caatinga, a biome that is distributed essentially throughout this region. We present here new records for 28 species based on material collected in four Federal Conservation Units of the Caatinga biome: Aiuaba Ecological Station (Ceará state), Chapada Diamantina National Park (Bahia state), Catimbau National Park (Pernambuco state), and Serra das Confusões National Park (Piauí state). Moreover, several species are recorded for the first time from at least one of these states: 11 from Bahia, ten from Ceará, two from Pernambuco, and eight from Piauí.

New records of whiteflies (Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae) and their host plants from Colombia https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/69433/ Check List 18(4): 889-896

DOI: 10.15560/18.4.889

Authors: Julian Leonardo Díaz-Sánchez, Francisco Serna, Muhammad Z. Ahmed

Abstract: More than half of whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) species are distributed in the tropics. In Colombia, the taxonomic survey of this group has been neglected for almost three decades. This situation causes limitations in the study of basic and applied entomology for these sap-sucking insects, which are of considerable importance in agriculture as they affect an extensive number of cultivated and wild plants. In this work, we provide six species new records for the country, whose distribution is depicted in maps. Lastly, we mention the identification of the corresponding host plants.

DOI: 10.15560/15.2.259

Authors: Mirian Francisca Martins, Sinara Cristina de Moraes, Marcos Takashi Obara, Cleber Galvão

Abstract: Panstrongylus diasi Pinto & Lent, 1946, previously known from throught the Brazilian center-west, is reported for the first time in Mato Grosso state, Brazil. We found 3 specimens, 1 of them from an urban area of Barra do Garças. The new record of P. diasi is important for the understanding of the epidemiology of Chagas disease, mainly because this species is found naturally infected with Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909). Studies on the ecology, biogeography, and vector–host/parasite interactions of P. diasi are essential.

Propicimex tucmatiani (Wygodzinsky, 1951) (Hemiptera, Cimicidae, Cimicinae): a new bat ectoparasite for the Corrientes province, Argentina https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/21048/ Check List 13(5): 475-478

DOI: 10.15560/13.5.475

Authors: Ingrid M. Desireé Di Benedetto, Analía G. Autino, Carlos A. González, María A. Argoitia

Abstract: The literature cites 4 species of bat-parasiting Cimicidae in Argentina: Cimex lectularius Linnaeus, 1758, Propicimex tucmatiani (Wygodzinsky 1951) (both Cimicinae), Latrocimex spectans (Lent 1941) (Latrocimicinae), and Bucimex chilensis Usinger 1963 (Primicimicinae), all with few known records. Propicimex tucmatiani has formerly been cited in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Salta, Santiago del Estero, and Tucuman. Data presented in this work extends its distribution into the province of Corrientes, approximately 850 km north of the last recorded finding in Buenos Aires.
