{"title":"A HISTORY OF GRASSHOPPER ABUNDANCE SURVEYS AND FORECASTS OF OUTBREAKS IN SASKATCHEWAN 1","authors":"P. W. Riegert","doi":"10.4039/ENTM10052FV","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4039/ENTM10052FV","url":null,"abstract":"Saskatchewan had periodic outbreaks of grasshoppers long before the arrival of settlers. With the advent of agriculture these insects threatened the production of cereal and forage crops and necessitated the implementation of extensive control procedures. The effectiveness of control could be enhanced if farmers and government agencies were alerted and informed of the probable intensity and area of outbreak in the coming year. This lead to the initiation of forecasting the expected outbreaks, first, by questioning local persons as to the density, egg laying activities, and damage caused by local grasshopper populations and, secondly, by the inauguration of a special survey system of assessing abundance. Current populations of grasshopper adults or eggs were counted in all arable land areas of the province and rated in four categories of potential outbreak or hazard. The mapping of such ratings in their respective locations resulted in the production of a forecast map which indicated areas of probable light , moderate , severe , or very severe outbreak the following year. In Saskatchewan such maps have been produced annually since 1931 and are reproduced here. They represent the changing scene of grasshopper abundance in the past 36 years and have been accepted by agriculturists as a standard reference to be considered for sound agricultural production in the province.","PeriodicalId":358634,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129331949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(2 species). Neopsis amazonica n. sp., Neopsis tumidifrons n. sp., Neopsis magna n. sp. (Brazil), and Nollia rustica n. sp. (Chile) are described, and the genera and species of the Neopsini are keyed.The New-World Macropsini encompasses five genera: Pediopsis Burmeister (1 species), Pediopsoides Matsumura (2 species), Reticopsis Hamilton (2 species), Macropsis Lewis (55 species), and Oncopsis Burmeister (36 species). Biological and morphological data are used to define the species in this taxonomically difficult tribe, with the result that 45 new species are described: Macropsis acapulco , M . dimorpha , M . igniscutellata , M . mexicana , M . oncopsimilis , and M . zebra from Mexico; Macropsis aureocephala , M . californiensis , M . ferrax , M . inversalis , M . palustris , M . pulchra , Oncopsis arizona , O . aureostria , and Reticopsis udrobates from southern California and Arizona; Oncopsis insignifica , O . mica , and O . tangenta from Utah; Macropsis borealis , M . rufescens , Oncopsis albicollis , O . incidens , O . interior , O . juno , O . marilynae , O . monticola , and O . tenuifoliae from northwestern North America; Macropsis dixiensis and O . infumata from southeastern North America; Macropsis decisa , M . jocosa , M . microceps , M . tunicata , M . xena , Oncopsis citrella , O . concurrens , O . dentata , O . deluda , O . prolixa , O . quebecensis , and O . vartyi from northeastern North America; and Macropsis deviridis , Oncopsis citra , O . crispae , and O . prairiana from Canada. Five new subspecies are described: O . cinctifrons kootenensis , O . prairiana ferrosus , and O . prairiana occidentalis , all from southern British Columbia; Oncopsis nigrinasi florida from Florida; and Macropsis deviridis alberta from western Canada. Five new synonymies are created. Keys to all taxa, host associations, and distribution maps are provided and the colour phases of the various polymorphic species are analyzed.The morphology and significance of intersex individuals of Oncopsis spp. are discussed.","PeriodicalId":358634,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127360767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
