AbstractTelenomus reynoldsi n. sp. (Scelionidae: Telenominae) is described as an egg parasite of Geocoris punctipes Say and G. pallens Stål in California. The parasite has been recovered from cotton fields at Thermal and Indio, and from strawberry fields at El Toro, California. Additional material deposited in the U.S. National Museum of Natural History has been recovered from Geocoris collected at Buttonwillow and Weed, California.

The U.S

During the course of an extensive survey of Coleoptera from tropical southern Florida, a specimen of the exclusively Neotropical genus Dryocoetoides was found in flight intercept traps (Atkinson and Peck, 1994; Peck, 1989).  Over the intervening years I have had the opportunity to compare the specimen with material in the U.S. National Museum  and in the S. L. Wood collection (recently transferred to the USNM).   Wood's ( 2007) recent monograph of the South American species of Scolytinae included a key to all the known species of the genus, not only those known from South America.  Based on that key and included descriptions I was able narrow down the possibilities and to borrow selected Schedl types from the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien.  As a result, I have reached the conclusion that this specimen represents an undescribed species.  It is described here to make the name available for a regional monograph of the bark and ambrosia beetles of the southeastern U.S. (Atkinson, in prep.).

scholarly journals Some New Synonymy in the Haemogamasidae, Laelaptidae and Diplogyniidae Indicated by an Examination of Banks' Types of Mesostigmata (Acarina)

New Synonymy ◽  
The U.S

During the course of a study of certain of the Banks mite types in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College some cases of obvious synonymy were found. Two of these cases sink Banks’ names; the remainder result in the establishment of his names as senior synonyms. In addition to those of Banks, the types of Ewing’s, Furman’s and Hicks’ species (all in U.S. National Museum) were examined in connection with this work. I am grateful to Drs. H. W. Levi and W. L. Brown for arranging for me to study the Harvard collection and for their many kindnesses during my visit. The following lectotype designations are not as precise as one would wish. The Banks types in the Museum of Comparative Zoology are not numbered and most names are represented by cotypes. All of the suspected and certain type slides are arranged alphabetically according to species and kept as a unit in the Arachnida collection of the Museum. Thus the lectotypes designated herein will be found labeled as such in their proper place in the alphabetical filing scheme. It may also be noted here that some of Banks’ species (none of those treated herein) are represented by cotypes in both the MCZ and the Acarina collection of the U.S. National Museum. The same is true of Jacot’s material which has been divided evenly between these museums.

A distinctive new species of Austromenopon from two species of shearwaters, Puffinus kuhlii (Scopoli) and Puffinus leucomelas (Temminick), is described herein. The new species is based on specimens collected from museum study skins and also from material lent to me by Dr. Theresa Clay, British Museum (Natural History) and the U.S. National Museum. I am indebted to Dr. Clay for the opportunity to examine material from the Meinertzhagen collection and to Dr. K. C. Emerson for reviewing this manuscript.

Among a collection of beetles made by the late Dr. F. Stein, of Indianpolis, I found some years ago a specimen marked“platynus, sp? Indiana.— Finding no description fitting it in Dr. Horn's revision of the genus,* I sent it among other specimens for naming to Dr. E. A. Schwarz, of the U.S. Divison of Entomolgy. Under date of January 17, 1899, he wrote me that it was oPlatynus quadrimaculatus, horn; that it “was not represented in the U.S. National Museum collection, and that only a few specimens had ever been captured.”

Paleontological investigations have played a critical role in the research of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) since its founding in 1879. From about 1950 until recently, the bulk of these fossil materials collected by USGS field geologists was housed in the U.S. National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution) in Washington, D.C, under the control of the Branch of Paleontology and Stratigraphy of the USGS. Large biostratigraphic sets of USGS collections also resided in Denver, Colorado, and Menlo Park, California, at the USGS regional centers.

This moth was first reported on this continent as a pest in a consignment of peanuts, received in California from China (de Ong, 1919). Mr. Hahn W. Capps, of the United States Department of Agriculture, informs me, in litt., that 6 adults from that infestation, together with 2 from “near prunes” in 1930, and 8 from a prune warehouse in 1931, at San José, are in the U.S. National Museum.

The trematodes of this report were killed in hot water, transferred immediately to Lavdowsky's FAA fixative for 24 hours, and then stored in 70% alcohol plus 2% glycerine. Whole mounts were stained in Mayer's carmalum and mounted in permount. Specimens have been deposited in the U.S. National Museum Helminthological Collection as indicated. All measurements are in microns (ftm).
