Descriptive Morphology of Male and Female Genitalia of the Long-horned Grasshopper in the Tribe Aphractini (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), with a Key to the Genera.

The male and female genital morphologies of the tribe Aphractini are presented in this study. Four species are included: , , and . A dichotomous key to the genera is provided.

Comparative morphology of the eggs from the eight species in the genus Agathemera Stål (Insecta: Phasmatodea), through phylogenetic comparative method approach.

Morphology of Phasmatodea eggs is remarkably diverse and highly valuable in taxonomic research. Two alterative hypotheses have been proposed to describe the phylogenetic relationship of the species from the genus Agathemera Stål. Additionally, descriptions of the egg morphology within Agathemera have been done based on the eggs of two species.

Native bees of high Andes of Central Chile (Hymenoptera: Apoidea): biodiversity, phenology and the description of a new species of Cockerell (Hymenoptera: Colletidae: Xeromelissinae).

High-altitude ecosystems are found in mountain chains and plateaus worldwide. These areas tend to be underrepresented in insect biodiversity assessments because of the challenges related to systematic survey at these elevations, such as extreme climatic and geographic conditions. Nonetheless, high-altitude ecosystems are of paramount importance because they have been seen to be species pumps for other geographic areas, such as adjacent locations, functioning as buffers for population declines.

Taxonomic study of the genus Araucanioperla Illies 1963 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae), with the description of the male genitalia, eggs and the last instar larva for A. brincki.

A comparative study of morphology on the genus Araucanioperla Illies, 1963 is discussed. Two species of Araucanioperla are known, A. bullocki (Navás, 1933) and A.

Austroectobius invunche: new genus and species of Ectobiidae for Chile (Insecta, Blattaria).

We describe a new genus and species of Chilean Blattodea (Ectobiidae), collected on Isla Grande de Chiloé and associated with Fascicularia bicolor (Bromeliaceae). We study the morphology of both sexes with SEM. The new taxon is brachypterous, with tiny ellipsoid tegmina and hind wings absent.

Along urbanization sprawl, exotic plants distort native bee (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) assemblages in high elevation Andes ecosystem.

Native bees contribute a considerable portion of pollination services for endemic as well as introduced plant species. Their decline has been attributed to several human-derived influences including global warming as well as the reduction, alteration, and loss of bees' habitat. With human expansion comes along the introduction of exotic plant species with negative impacts over native ecosystems.

Lost and found: the Plecoptera types of Blanchard and Mabille, with further contributions to the stoneflies of Chile.

Types of five of the six Plecoptera species described by Émile Blanchard and the holotype of the single stonefly described by Jules François Mabille were discovered in the National Museum Prague, Czech Republic. The identity of P. myrmidon Mabille, 1891 and P.

Victimization, perception of insecurity, and changes in daily routines in Mexico.

Objective: To analyze the relationships between victimization, perception of insecurity, and changes in routines.

Methods: The 8,170 subjects of both sexes (49.9% women and 50.

Species From the Heliothinae Complex (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Tucumán, Argentina, an Update of Geographical Distribution of Helicoverpa armigera.

The Heliothinae complex in Argentina encompasses Helicoverpa gelotopoeon (Dyar), Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), and Chloridea virescens (Fabricius). In Tucumán, the native species H. gelotopoeon is one of the most voracious soybean pests and also affects cotton and chickpea, even more in soybean-chickpea succession cropping systems.
