In New Zealand, Neocypholaelaps novaehollandiae Evans have been previously collected on native bellbirds and honeybees. The lack of information about this species triggered our interest in its life history and behaviour. We sampled mites from flowers of the nīkau palm (Rhopalostylis sapida), and subjected female mites (isolated in cells) to different diet treatments to determine the diet effects on mite survival. The survival of N. novaehollandiae was a maximum of 18 days in control to 33 days and 29 days on a diet of reed pollen and honey solution, respectively. We paired 20 males and females together in individual Eppendorf tubes and compared this with 20 single females in individual Eppendorf tubes. We demonstrated that unpaired females did not lay eggs but paired females oviposited in their cells, proving that mating is required for oviposition. We observed that six out of 10 samples contained only females (based on 2012 field surveys and preserved specimens in the New Zealand Arthropod Collection, NZAC). In samples with males, an incredibly female-biased sex ratio was found from both sources; 8.33% and 7.70% of males in two samples from the NZAC, and 2.42% and 13.10% of mites in two field samples. We observed that males display exceptional sexual dimorphism; in particular, the enlarged hind legs, which suggests male–male competition. We also report the first coleopteran host association of N. novaehollandiae with the endemic giraffe weevil (Lasiorynchus barbicornus). Further research is needed to understand the sexual dimorphism, extreme sex ratio and the genetic mating system of this species.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"38 1","pages":"126 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2015.1043043","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58900017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Around 90% of natural vegetation was cleared for replacement mass planting of indigenous shrubs. A small network of mānuka and kānuka bush patches (40+ years old) was retained as remnant ‘islands’ in a matrix of cleared, bare ground. Coleoptera were sampled in three size classes of bush remnants and a mature forest remnant in 2003 to identify which indigenous species had persisted in the modified setting. From 72 samples, 1155 individuals were recorded from 81 species and 24 families. Indigenous species dominated the sampled fauna and, except for the absence of large predatory species, were found to represent a typical southern Otago forest-associated assemblage. Significant multivariate differences in species composition based on relative abundance existed between different remnant size groups. Only 6% of species were distributed throughout all of the bush remnants. A later sample taken in 2010 from 7-year-old plantings on waste rock indicated few shared species with the nearby mānuka–kānuka remnants. Over rehabilitation time, a finely structured Coleoptera community is developing in revegetated habitats at the coal mine.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"38 1","pages":"106 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2014.963909","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58899837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rod spent his early years on a farm near Fairlie in inland South Canterbury, where he sometimes rode a horse to primary school. When he was nine, the family moved to a farm at Conway Flat on the coast of North Canterbury north of Cheviot, and it was his exposure to insects in this area that inspired him to pursue a Masters degree at Lincoln University (then Lincoln College), where he completed a thesis on the insects associated with lucerne. Rod also met his Japanese wife-to-be, Shoko, at Lincoln College and they married in 1971. After joining the Entomology Division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) in early 1969, Rod soon found himself studying the potential of the four species of bumble bees present in New Zealand as pollinators of a wide range of flowering plants. From 1971, he studied for a PhD in entomology at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, where in 1974 he completed a thesis on the ecology of species of bumble bees in the southern part of the province.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"38 1","pages":"67 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2014.968980","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58899936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are nine previously described species of Hydora, six from New Zealand, to which we add Hydora musci sp. nov. based on larvae and adults. Hydora musci can be distinguished from all remaining New Zealand species by the following characters: adult with pronotum with weak lateral transverse depression, pronotal lateral carina incomplete extending from posterior margin approximately two-thirds anteriorly, sublateral longitudinal carina less than one-third of the average carina length; elytral punctate striae poorly developed, elytral setae no longer than one-third width of eye, outer surface of mesotibia polished, surface of metatibia not polished; larva with thoracic and abdominal segments bearing single dorsal and lateral protrusions (often reduced), tooth absent on anterior margin of head, laterotergites complete on abdominal segments I and II, complete to incomplete on segments III to IV. Most specimens of H. musci were found in stable tributary streams containing bryophytes in the Arnold River Catchment 31 km inland from Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island. Larvae are grazers that co-exist with adults at the stream margins and in splash zones associated with bryophytes attached to large boulders. A catalogue of the world Hydora species is included, and lectotypy is established for the following New Zealand species: Hydora subaenea Broun, Hydora picea (Broun), Hydora obsoleta Broun, Hydora nitida Broun, Hydora lanigera Broun and Hydora angusticollis (Pascoe). http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8EB6FA4E-BD27-4EAD-8113-977518118CBD","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"38 1","pages":"38 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2014.963910","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58899889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physical adaptations in response to lower temperatures at higher altitudes often include changes in body size. We investigated the distribution and potential change in body size with altitude of two species of ground wētā, Hemiandrus maculifrons and Hemiandrus pallitarsis in the Moehau Ecological Area on the Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand. Over eight nights of searching, 17 adult H. maculifrons and 28 adult H. pallitarsis were found. Hemiandrus maculifrons was the smaller of the two species and was found at higher altitudes compared with H. pallitarsis (91–577 m and 27–207 m, respectively). No ground wētā were caught in baited and unbaited live-catch pitfall traps (40 set at 211–242 m above sea level; 40 at 620–626 m above sea level). Despite what appeared to be a tendency for the size of male H. maculifrons to increase with altitude, we found no evidence of intraspecific variation in body size with altitude although sample sizes were small. Nevertheless, these two species of ground wētā appear well suited to further investigations into aspects associated with factors that influence body size, distributional range shifts and climate change.","PeriodicalId":19185,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Entomologist","volume":"38 1","pages":"1 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00779962.2014.922234","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58899698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
