“…The precise function of the flagellum remains unknown, however. Despite a brief period of doubt Bernard, 1896), it has long been known that the flagellum is unique to adult males (e.g., Fabricius, 1781, Savigny, 1809Pocock, 1897: 264;Kraepelin, 1899;Purcell, 1903a;Sørensen 1914: 161; and this was confirmed by dissections (Dufour, 1861). Dunlop et al (2004) mistakenly mentioned that the flagellum occurs in both subadult and adult males.…”

CHELICERAL MORPHOLOGY OF SOLIFUGAE (ARACHNIDA): PRIMARY HOMOLOGY, TERMINOLOGY, AND CHARACTER SURVEYArachnids of the order Solifugae (solifuges, false spiders, sunspiders, camelspiders, Walzenspinne, windspiders) possess the largest jaws for body size in the Chelicerata. The chelicerae provide the most important character systems for solifuge systematics, including dentition and the male flagellum, both used extensively in species delimitation and diagnosis.However, the terminology used for cheliceral characters is unstandardized and often contradictory, in part because it fails to represent homologous structures among taxa. Misinterpretation of character homology may introduce errors in phylogenetic analysesconcerning relationships within Solifugae and among the orders of Chelicerata. This contribution presents the first comprehensive analysis of cheliceral morphology across the order Solifugae, the aims of which were to provide a broad survey of cheliceral characters for solifuge systematics, to identify and reinterpret structures based on primary homology, revise the terminology to be consistent with homology hypotheses, and provide a guide to synonyms of terminology and character interpretations in the literature. Chelicerae were studied in 188 exemplar species (17 % of the total), representing all twelve solifuge families, 17 of the 19 subfamilies, 64 genera (46 % of the total), and the full range of variation in cheliceral morphology across the order. In total, 157 species representing 49 genera and 17 subfamilies are illustrated. Hypotheses of character transformation, particularly concerning the male flagellum, and a standardized terminology, are presented. The functional morphology of the chelicerae is iii discussed and the role of sexually dimorphic modifications to the male chelicerae in mating behavior emphasized. The revised terminology, based on hypotheses of primary homology, will facilitate solifuge revisionary systematics and provide a stronger basis for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships within the order and evaluating its position within Chelicerata.

“…The viper's bugloss, or blueweed, (Echium vulgare) cannot be missed with its numerous bright blue flowers forming a large ear-like cluster. These flowers seemed very attractive to adult Neocrepidodera ferruginea, and such attraction was reported by the early authors Fabricius [60] and Olivier [18]. Adults were also collected on the flowers of other plants: buttercup (Ranunculus acris), common St. John's-wort (Hypericum perforatum), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), small ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), various unspecified asters (Aster spp.…”

The European rusted flea beetle Neocrepidodera ferruginea (Scopoli, 1763) is reported for the first time from Québec and Ontario, Canada. It was likely introduced into southern Ontario at an international port on the Great Lakes in early 1970s, or possibly earlier in the 1960s. However, the exact location and date of introduction could not be precisely determined. The flea beetle has since dispersed northeastwards and reached Aylmer, north of Ottawa River, in Québec, by 2003. This is about 375 km from Niagara Falls, where the oldest known specimens were collected in 1977. In 2009, various wild habitats and cultivated areas of Aylmer were surveyed. The host plants of the larvae could not be determined, but adults were swept from many plant species including various weeds and cultivated grasses: Alopecurus pratense (meadow foxtail), Dactylis glomerata (orchard-grass), Festuca rubra (red fescue-grass), and Poa pratensis (Kentucky blue-grass). Adults were also collected from flowers of several weeds: Aster sp. (undetermined species), Aster novae-angliae (New England aster), Ambrosia artemisiifolia (small ragweed), Echium vulgare (viper's bugloss), Nasturtium officinale (water cress), Melilotus alba (white sweet-clover), Hypericum perforatum (common St. John's-wort), Lythrum salicaria (purple loosestrife), Ranunculus acris (buttercup), and Solidago spp. (goldenrods). Since larvae are known to develop inside the roots and central stems of cereals, this new alien species represents a threat to Canadian agriculture, particularly if it reaches the Prairies in western Canada, where cereals represent a considerable part of their economy. European rusted flea beetle and Altise ferrugineuse européenne are suggested for the English and French common names of this flea beetle, respectively. IntroductionSpectacular and large (20-35 mm) alien insects such as the Asian longhorn beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky, 1853), cannot establish themselves unnoticed due to their large size, showy appearance, and the considerable damage they cause to trees. Although much smaller (7-14 mm), the Emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, 1888, was quickly identified by its bright metallic green color and evident damage to ornamental ash (Fraxinus spp.) trees. In contrast, decades may pass before small species are detected, and it may take even longer if they are not associated with economically important plants of horticultural, agricultural, or forestry value. The European flea beetle, Neocrepidodera ferruginea [1], is such a species. Its small size (3-4 mm) and rusty color contributed to hide it within the vegetation. In addition, the lack of regular insect monitoring in agricultural lands of eastern Canada or of surveys in natural habitats also explain in part why it has been thriving unnoticed for over 30 years. Consequently, the present communication provides information on its identification, habitats, biology, host plants, economic importance, and history of introduction into North America.

“…Therefore, Chauliognathus quadri punctatus Pic, 1927 is possibly based on the same concept as Chauliognathus quadripunctatus Dejean (nomen nudum). Hence, if "Chauliognathus quadripunctatus Dejean" was a valid species -and if there were types -it would possibly be a junior synonym of C. flavipes (Fabricius, 1781) or a senior synonym and senior primary homonym of C. quadripunctatus Pic, 1927. Wittmer (1961 synonymized Chauliognathus basalis Lacordaire with C. flavipes, probably based on specimens of C. quadripunctatus Dejean and C. basalis Dejean sensu auctorum in old collections and aware of the synonymy proposed by dejean (1833, 1836).…”
