Polystoechotes punctata (Fabricius, 1793) (Neuroptera: Ithonidae) was formerly widespread across North America, but was extirpated from eastern North America by the 1950s. We report a specimen collected from Fayetteville, Arkansas, which represents a new state record and the first specimen recorded in eastern North America in over fifty years. We also reexamine a previously published dataset and discuss the history of P. punctata in eastern North America. The importance of community science efforts are discussed and compared with museum holdings. We propose that P. punctata may have always been uncommon in eastern North America, or at least when insect collecting began in earnest in the late 1800s, and support our case by examining collection effort in other insects. This discovery suggests there may be relictual populations of this large, charismatic insect yet to be discovered.","PeriodicalId":54576,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington","volume":"124 1","pages":"332 - 345"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44363139","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}

Oken) (Boraginaceae) is used as a shade plant for cacao and coffee agroforestry systems in Colombia. In 2016 these trees were severely defoliated by insects on a farm in northeastern Colombia. One hemipteran and one lepidopteran were found to be associated with the damage, and one hymenopteran was found to parasitize the hemipteran. The hemipteran was Edessa panamensis Fernandes von Doesburg and Greve (Pentatomidae), a new record for Colombia and the first record of this species as a parasitoid host. A parasitoid wasp, Neorileya albipes Girault (Eurytomidae), emerged from E. panamensis eggs, and is recorded for the first time from Colombia. The lepidopteran feeding on salmwood was Paridnea squamicosta (Walker) (Pyralidae). The larva takes refuge from natural enemies in domatia on salmwood branches and emerges to feed on leaves. The larval leaf consumption was estimated to be 134.1 cm2 with a larval duration of 15.64 days; the pupal stage was 20.44 days. We also report for the first time another host for this larva, the moncoro tree (Cordia gerascanthus L.), which was affected to a lesser degree. Photographs of insect adults, larvae, eggs, and morphological structures are provided. Resumen. El nogal cafetero Cordia alliodora (Ruiz y Pav.) Oken (Boraginaceae) es usado como una planta de sombrío en sistemas agroforestales en Colombia, en 2016 estos arboles fueron severamente defoliados por insectos en una finca al noroeste de Colombia. Un hemíptero y un lepidóptero fueron asociados con el daño, además un himenóptero fue encontrado parasitando el hemíptero. El hemíptero fue identificado como el chinche Edessa panamensis Fernandes von Doesburg and Greve (Pentatomidae), un nuevo registro para Colombia. La avispa parasitoide, Neorileya albipes Girault (Eurytomidae), emergió de huevos de E. panamensis y es registrada por primera vez para Colombia. El lepidoptero que se alimenta de hojas de nogal cafetero fue identificado como Paridnea squamicosta (Walker) (Pyralidae). La larva se refugia de sus enemigos naturales en los domacios en las ramas de nogal, desde allí sale a consumir hojas. En la fase de larva el consumo de hojas fue estimado en 134,1 cm2 con una duración de 15,64 dias, la duración de la etapa de pupa fue 20,44.

The female 7th sternite is robustly developed, enclosing a complex of sclerotized, scobinate structures and pockets, variously fused with elements arising from the sternum and intersegmental membrane of abdominal segments VII and VIII. This scaffold appears to accommodate the robustly developed male clasper, including a modification of the valva's outer margin.
