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...

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...

Paleorhodococcus dominicanus gen. nov., sp. nov., a fossil Actinobacteria in a fecal droplet of Triatoma dominicana (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in Dominican amber

Creator:: Poinar, George, Jr.
Abstract:: Paleorhodococcus dominicanus n. gen., n sp. (Actinobacteria) is described from a fecal droplet of Triatoma dominicana (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in Dominican amber. The fossil can be distinguished from most extant species of the closely related extant genus Rhodococcus Zopf, 1891 by its spherical cocci forming substrate filaments with elementary branching,...

Silica bodies in the Early Cretaceous Programinis laminatus (Angiospermae: Poales)

Creator:: Poinar, George, Jr.
Abstract:: Silica bodies in short cell epidermal leaf cells of the Early Cretaceous Programinis laminatus (Poales) in Burmese amber are characterized. The great majority are rondels and elongated quadrates aligned horizontally in relation to the leaf axis. Rondel types include circular, elliptical, oblong, long and short forms. Quadrate types include short...

A New Genus of Fleas with Associated Microorganisms in Dominican Amber

Creator:: Poinar, George, Jr.
Abstract:: A flea preserved in Dominican amber is described as Atopopsyllus cionus, n. gen., n. sp., (Atopopsyllini n. tribe, Spilopsyllinae, Pulicidae). The male specimen has two unique characters that have not been noted in previous extant or extinct fleas, thus warranting its tribal status. These characters are 5-segmented maxillary palps and...

Bird’s nest fungi (Nidulariales: Nidulariaceae) in Baltic and Dominican amber

Creator:: Poinar, George, Jr.
Abstract:: Nitula baltica sp. nov. and Cyathus dominicanus sp. nov. are described from Cenozoic Baltic and Dominican amber. These are the first fossil members of the Family Nidulariaceae and show that the basic characteristics of this group were already established some 40-50 million years ago.

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...

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...

Creator:: Poinar, George, Jr. and Heiss, Ernst
Abstract:: A new genus and species of megaridid, Minysporops dominicanus gen. n., sp. n. (Hemiptera: Megarididae), is described from Dominican amber. Diagnostic characters include: Minute (under 2.00 mm), glabrous, nearly round body; declivitous flat-topped head; eyes constricted near middle, with dorsal eye shields; ocelli ovoid-elliptical; antennae 4-segmented, setose; rostrum 4- segmented;...
