Abdomen dilated laterally in subapterous form (Fig. 1) and nearly parallel laterally in macropterous form (Fig. 5). Distribution. China (Yunnan). Etymology. This genus is named in honor of the late Prof. T. Y. Hsiao for his great contribution to the study of Heteroptera. Masculine. Remarks. The general body plan of the female of the new genus is similar to that of Asiacoris Tomokuni & Cai, but the anterior portion of the postclypeus of the latter is distinctly bent upwards, and the ventral surfaces of the fore femur and fore tibia lack strong spines. The new genus is also allied to Tapirocoris Miller, Yangicoris Cai, Henricohahnia Breddin, Karenocoris Miller, and Malaiseana Miller. These genera can be distinguished with the following key.Published as part of Lü, Zhaozhi, Zhao, Ping & Cai, Wanzhi, 2006, Hsiaotycoris tuberculatus, a new genus and species of Harpactorinae (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) from China, pp. 33-41 in Zootaxa 1286 on page 34, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17350

糖醋液对香梨优斑螟和草蛉的诱杀作用/Rapping effects of the mixture of sugar and acetic acid,moths and lacewings[J]

在苹果园设置4种不同组分的糖醋液(Ⅰ-红糖:食用醋:酒:水＝2:3:1:11,Ⅱ-白砂糖:食用醋:酒:水＝2:3:1:11,Ⅲ-红糖:乙酸:水＝2:1:11,Ⅳ-白砂糖:乙酸:水＝2:1:11),比较其对香梨优斑螟等果树害虫的诱捕效果,及对天敌草岭等的影响.结果表明,糖醋液中添加酒的组分(Ⅰ和Ⅱ)对香梨优斑螟的诱杀效果好,与不添加酒成分的效果差异极显著;对草岭的诱杀也存在影响,但差异不显著.糖醋液中不同的糖(Ⅰ和Ⅲ,Ⅱ和Ⅳ)对于香梨优斑螟、苹果蠹蛾、其他蛾类及草岭的诱杀效果不存在显著性差异.试验期间发现诱杀的不同种类昆虫数量上存在补性,认为在诱捕器附近可能存在种间排挤效应

古尔班通古特沙漠南缘地表甲虫物种多样性及其与环境的关系/Diversity of ground-dwelling beetles within the southern Gurbantunggut Desert and its relationship with environmental factors[J]

为了解荒漠地表甲虫的多样性特点及其与环境的关系,明确其环境指示作用,评估沙漠工程对荒漠地表甲虫多样性的影响,作者于2010年5-7月采用陷阱法调查了占尔班通古特沙漠南缘从沙漠腹地到沙漠绿洲交错区不同生境的地表甲虫物种多样性,其中包括沙漠腹地公路防护体系的干扰生境.结果如下:(1)共捕获地表甲虫54,527头,隶属于14科81种,其中拟步甲科和象甲科占绝对优势,数量分别占到93.65％和5.14％；拟步甲科在沙漠腹地的活动密度远大于交错区,而在交错区象甲科种类最多,活动密度也最大；漠王属(Platyope)的种类均表现出明显的风沙土的倾向性,而阿苇长足甲(Adesmia aweiensis)和光滑胖漠甲(Trigonoscelis sublaevigata sublaevigata)则表现出明显的碱化灰漠土的倾向性;(2)不同生境间的丰富度、多样性指数、均匀度指数、优势度指数、活动密度总体上均具有显著性差异(df=32,P＜0.05)；(3)分别基于地表甲虫群落与优势类群的生境除趋势对应分析(DCA排序)均表明,沙漠边缘在研究区域中处于中间过渡地位,坡上生境更接近沙漠腹地,垄间更接近交错区；(4)荒漠地表甲虫群落的物种丰富度、多样性指数、均匀度指数、优势度指数与植被盖度、土壤含水量、有机质含量及全N、全P含量均存在显著线性相关(P＜0.05),其中与土壤含水量的相关性最好,活动密度与所有环境因子的相关性最差,且为负相关；(5)沙漠公路防护体系中的地表甲虫活动密度显著降低,物种丰富度、多样性及均匀性均有所下降,但没有达到显著性水平；主要种的相对重要值也有较大变化.结论如下:荒漠地表甲虫的多样性特点为丰富度低、多样性低、均匀度差,但优势度高、活动密度高,并且这一特点随着生境从荒漠绿洲交错区到沙漠腹地越趋明显；荒漠地表甲虫在科、属与种的水平上均表现了一定的环境指示作用；土壤类型在群落排序中起着主要作用；活动密度与土壤含水量的负相关关系可能是局域尺度下荒漠地表甲虫多样性的一般性规律；工程干扰对沙漠腹地的地表甲虫群落产生了一定的影响,草方格、梭梭(Haloxylon ammodendron)、沙拐枣(Calligonum sp.)等人工植被可能是导致这一影响的主要因素

多因子对棉蚜有翅蚜形成的影响/The effects of multifactor on the alate development in Aphis gossypii[J]

有翅蚜产生是蚜虫适应环境变化的重要策略,多种因子诱导有翅蚜的形成.本文研究了温度、拥挤度、母代效应和天敌对棉蚜有翅蚜形成的影响程度.结果表明:在21～30℃温度范围内内,温度与翅蚜比例呈线性关系,21℃形成有翅蚜比例最高,约为10％;棉蚜拥挤度与有翅蚜比例成正相关;温度与拥挤度2因子的正交试验也进一步证实了低温、高拥挤度组合更有利于有翅个体的形成.母代效应对棉蚜F1代有翅蚜的形成有显著性影响,天敌胁迫促进有翅个体的形成.生物因子及非生物因子共同作用影响有翅蚜的形成,但在以后的研究中需要从分子水平上关注两者内在互作关系
