This study was undertaken to find means of separating the
morphologically similar species of North American Trixagus and to
bring together information on Trixagus and Pactopus.
A key to separate the world's eight genera of extant Throscidae
is presented for the first time. A key to the five species of...
The external and internal morphology are considered and important morphological characters are found which relate Macrovelis to the family Mesoveliidae. Both macropterous and Brachypterous forms occur throughout the western half of the United States. The adults and nymphs are restricted to the margins of springs and streams during the reproductive...
Fifty species and subspecies and six varieties in eight genera of
the family Tabanidae are recognized from Oregon. The following genera
are represented in Oregon: Apatolestes Williston, Pilimas Brennan,
Stonemyia Brennan, Silvius Meigen, Chrysops Meigen, Atylotus Osten
Sacken, Hybomitra Enderlein and Tabanus Linnaeus. Adults and larvae
were collected from various...
Beetle diversity and habitat associations of five
prevalent riparian plant communities were examined along
the lower reaches of Big Beaver Creek Research Natural
Area, North Cascades National Park, Washington. These
communities were defined by dominant tree species, and
included Alder Swamps, Cedar-Hemlock Forests, Douglas-fir
Forests, Gravel Bars, and Willow-Sedge Swamps....
The genus Platylygus Van Duzee was erected in 1915 and revised by Kelton and Knight in 1970 describing 26 new species from United State and Mexico. Despite this prior revision, taxonomic problems have been encountered with the use of the keys and in the identification given the close similarity among...
The life history and wing pattern variation of the intertidal
shore bug, Saldula palustris (Douglas), were studied in field and
experimental populations from June 1970 until February 1972.
The study site was an estuarine salt marsh on Yaquina Bay
near Toledo, Oregon. The insects live below mean high water level...
The Miridae, or plant bugs, associated with noble fir, Abies
procera Rehd., are discussed. Thirty six species of the Miridae were
collected from noble fir. Twenty five of these species are considered
only "visitors" to noble fir. The study does not deal with these
species. Noble fir is a host...
