Performance of DNA metabarcoding, standard barcoding and morphological approaches in the identification of insect biodiversity

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 8, November 2024.
Abstract For two decades, DNA barcoding and, more recently, DNA metabarcoding have been used for molecular species identification and estimating biodiversity. Despite their growing use, few studies have systematically evaluated these methods.

Male genitalia, hierarchical homology, and the anatomy of the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata; Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 9, September 2024.
We present a multimodal anatomy of the male genitalia of the bullet ant, Paraponera clavata. Using this as a model system, we expand and refine on the 5‐category system of homology classification proposed by Meneganzin et al. (2024) and we present evidence supporting the penis‐coxopod theory of male genitalic homology in male insects. Abstract The male

Snakefly diversity in Early Cretaceous amber from Spain (Neuropterida, Raphidioptera)

ZooKeys, 2012
The Albian amber from Spain presently harbors the greatest number and diversity of amber adult fossil snakeflies (Raphidioptera). Within Baissopteridae, Baissoptera? cretaceoelectra sp.

The evolutionary history of Coleoptera (Insecta) in the late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic

Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 355-388, July 2024.
Structural transformations of the elytra and abdomen played a major role in the early beetle evolution in the Permian. Polyphaga appear late in the fossil record, with only a few fossils of Elateriformia in the Late Triassic. Several factors were involved in the enormous diversification of beetles in the Cretaceous but evolutionary interactions with ...

Comparative morphology of male genitalia in antlions (Insecta, Neuroptera, Myrmeleontidae), with emphasis on owlflies (Ascalaphinae) and a possible structural evolutionary scenario

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 5, May 2024.
Male genitalia groundplan in Neuropterida is based on 10 abdominal segments, plus vestigial structures from an 11th segment. Genitalia are composed of medially fused appendages of the 10th segment (gonarcus), with gonocoxite and gonostylus components (primary gonopods), plus gonostyli of the 9th segment (seconday gonopods).

The use of simple crown traps for the insects collection

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020
The paper presents data on the use of simple crown traps for studying the insect fauna. The crown trap is a five-litre plastic container with a window cut out on one side of it at a distance of 10 cm from the bottom.

The Inocelliidae of Southeast Asia: A review of present knowledge (Raphidioptera)

Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 2011
Four new species of snakeflies of the family Inocelliidae: Inocellia longispina, I. bilobata, I. striata, and I. cornuta, spp. n. from Thailand are described and illustrated. A synthesis of the known species of Inocelliidae from Southeast Asia is presented.

Development of Raphidioptera Was More Gradual in the Past as Revealed by Quantitative Morphological Analysis

Diversity
Snakeflies (Raphidioptera) are generally assumed to have the most gradual (and plesiomorphic) type of holometabolous metamorphosis, often including saproxylic larvae. Herein we investigate the diversity of snakeflies over time.

A New Fossil Snake-Fly Species from Baltic Amber (Raphidioptera: Inocelliidae)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 1995
A new species of inocelliid snake-fly, Fibla carpenteri, is described and figured frorn Middle to Upper Eocene Baltic amber. The species belongs to the nominate subgenus and is the largest amber snake-fly currently known.
