Vetufebrus ovatus n. gen., n. sp (Haemospororida: Plasmodiidae) vectored by a streblid bat fly (Diptera: Streblidae) in Dominican amber

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr.
Abstract:: Background: Both sexes of bat flies in the families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) reside in the hair or on the wing membranes of bats and feed on blood. Members of the Nycteribiidae transmit bat malaria globally however extant streblids have never been implemented as vectors of bat malaria. The...

Halophilanema prolata n. gen., n. sp. (Nematoda: Allantonematidae), a parasite of the intertidal bug, Saldula laticollis (Reuter)(Hemiptera: Saldidae) on the Oregon coast

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr.
Abstract:: Background: It is rare to find terrestrial nematode lineages parasitizing arthropods inhabiting the intertidal or littoral zone of the oceans. During an ecological study along the Oregon dunes, an allantonematid nematode (Tylenchomorpha: Allantonematidae) was discovered parasitizing the intertidal shore bug, Saldula laticollis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Saldidae). This shore bug is adapted...

New fossil nematodes in Dominican and Baltic amber

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr.
Abstract:: Four new species of fossil mermithids (Nematoda: Mermithidae) are described from amber: Heydenius arachnius n. sp. from a spider (Arachnida: Araneae) in Dominican amber, Heydenius phasmatophilus n. sp., from a walking stick (Phasmatodea: Phasmatidae) in Baltic amber, Heydenius podenasae n. sp. from a moth (Lepidoptera) in Baltic amber and Heydenius...

First record of the genus Baris Germar, 1817 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in Dominican amber

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr. and Legalov, A. A.
Abstract:: A new weevil species – Baris grossacavis Poinar and Legalov, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) – is described from Dominican amber. The new species is close to Baris rubripes Casey, 1892, but differs by possessing large punctures over much of its body, including the pronotum; elytral intervals with rows of narrow...

History of Entomopathogenic Nematology

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr. and Grewal, P. S.
Abstract:: The history of entomopathogenic nematology is briefly reviewed. Topic selections include early descriptions of members of Steinernema and Heterorhabditis, how only morphology was originally used to distinguish between the species; descriptions of the symbiotic bacteria and elucidating their role in the nematode- insect complex, including antibiotic properties, phase variants, and...

A mid-Cretaceous ambrosia fungus, Paleoambrosia entomophila gen. nov. et sp. nov. (Ascomycota: Ophiostomatales) in Burmese (Myanmar) amber, and evidence for a femoral mycangium

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr. and Vega, Fernando E.
Abstract:: An ambrosia fungus is described from filamentous sporodochia adjacent to a wood-boring ambrosia beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae) in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Yeast-like propagules and hyphal fragments of Paleoambrosia entomophila gen. nov. et sp. nov. occur in glandular sac mycangia located inside the femur of the beetle. This is the first...

Parasitylenchus bifurcatus n. sp. (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) parasitizing Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr. and Steenberg, Tove
Abstract:: Background: The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis Pallas (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is native to central and eastern Asia and was purposely introduced into Europe to control aphids. While it proved to be a good biological control agent, its rapid spread and buildup of large populations made it a nuisance, since it overwinters...

A case of mistaken identification of an amber fossil male strepsipteran (Insecta: Strepsiptera)

Creator:: Kogan, M., Poinar, George O., Jr., and Cook, J. L.
Abstract:: A well preserved specimen of amber Strepsiptera was erroneously described as Stylops neotropicallis Kogan and Poinar, 2010. The taxonomic position of the species was based on a count of 6 antennomeres (typical of the Stylopidae), however, further observations showed that there are actually 7 antennomeres, which places the fossil in...

First record of the genus Pseudopilolabus Legalov, 2003 (Coleoptera: Attelabidae) in Dominican amber

Creator:: Poinar, George O., Jr., Brown, A. E., and Legalov, A. A.
Abstract:: A new weevil species (urn:lsid:zoobank.org: act:2D5E9E4A-A250-4D0A-AF69-CF4753436686), Pseudopilolabus othnius Poinar, Brown and Legalov, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Attelabidae), is described from Dominican amber. The new species is close to the extant P. viridanus (Gyllenhal, 1839) and P. splendens (Gyllenhal, 1839) but differs by having a bronzed body, narrower and more convex elytral...

Can parasites halt the invader? Mermithid nematodes parasitizing the yellow-legged Asian hornet in France

Creator:: Villemant, Claire, Zuccon, Dario, Rome, Quentin, Muller, Franck, Poinar, George O., Jr., and Justine, Jean-Lou
Abstract:: Since its introduction in France 10 years ago, the yellow-legged Asian bee-hawking hornet Vespa velutina has rapidly spread to neighboring countries (Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, and Germany), becoming a new threat to beekeeping activities. While introduced species often leave behind natural enemies from their original home, which benefits them in...
