In this study, we examine specimens deposited in the Entomological Collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP) to describe a new genus and species of cricket belonging to the tribe Neometrypini (Tafaliscinae). Annelotrypa gen. nov. and its type species, Annelotrypa xerophila sp. nov., are described based on specimens collected in the arboreal Caatinga of Bahia, Brazil. This taxon represents the first confirmed record of Neometrypini in this xerophytic biome. The new genus is diagnosed by a distinctive combination of morphological traits, including an elongated, cylindrical body; micropterous forewings that do not medially cover the meso- and metanotum; laterally flattened fore and mid femora approximately twice as thick as their corresponding tibiae; hind tibiae (TIII) with a subapical spur formula of 4/0 (inner/outer); and short, rounded cerci that do not exceed the hind femora. Detailed morphological descriptions, measurements, and illustrations of external features and genitalia for both sexes are provided. Additionally, an updated identification key to the genera of Neometrypini (excluding the taxonomically uncertain Nessa Walker, 1879) is presented. This study expands the known diversity and distribution of Neometrypini in South America and emphasises the importance of continued taxonomic work within Tafaliscinae, particularly in poorly sampled habitats such as the Caatinga.","PeriodicalId":8574,"journal":{"name":"Austral Entomology","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aen.70038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145983481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we examine the free-living Acizzia Heslop-Harrison, 1961 associated with hop bush, Dodonaea spp. (Sapindaceae), with the national Bush Blitz programme being the key source of specimens from arid and semi-arid locations across Southern Australia. A CO1 molecular phylogeny, a 5% divergence threshold, an Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) analysis and morphological assessment were used to delineate species' boundaries. This resulted in a well-supported consensus for the existence of nine species. Of these, one species is redescribed, A. dodonaeae (Tuthill, 1952), and eight are recognised as new: A. brevis Taylor & McClelland sp. nov., A. hexandrae Taylor & McClelland sp. nov., A. incerta Taylor & McClelland sp. nov., A. lobulatae Taylor & McClelland sp. nov., A. stenozygae Taylor & McClelland sp. nov., A. tenuis Taylor & McClelland sp. nov., A. uncino Taylor & McClelland sp. nov. and A. viscosae Taylor & McClelland sp. nov.

Global warming and land use changes exacerbate these conditions, converting wetlands into terrestrial or aquatic ecosystems and altering biotic communities. Ground-dwelling beetles support key ecosystem functions such as nutrient cycling, pest control and seed dispersal. Despite previous studies on beetle diversity under various management practices, research on the ecological niches of beetles in Argentinian wetlands is limited. This study evaluates the influence of microhabitat-scale environmental variables on ground-dwelling beetle niches in modified wetlands in the Lower Delta of the Paraná River. Wetland replacement with planted forests alters the natural hydrological regime causing environmental changes. Six habitat types, categorised by tree species, land use and stand age, were studied. Beetles were collected using pitfall traps over 2 years, while environmental variables and vegetation structure were also measured. We recorded 45 beetle species within the Carabidae and Aphodiinae (Scarabaeidae). Hydrophilic species like Meraulax alatus, Loxandrus audouini and Lomanoxoides bitubericolis were primarily found in willow plantations and mature silvopastoral areas, where soil moisture is suitable, while species with greater ecological plasticity, like Paranortes cordicollis and Pachymorphus striatulus, thrived in poplar plantations. We conclude that structural and functional changes in this modified wetland landscape, induced by water management, planted forest species and livestock presence, generate different environmental conditions that act as environmental filters, shaping the occurrence of species according to their specific habitat requirements. Understanding and characterising beetle species niches is therefore crucial in preserving the ecological function and biodiversity of this wetland landscape.","PeriodicalId":8574,"journal":{"name":"Austral Entomology","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145824760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in their endemic monsoonal rainforest habitats, breeding hosts are not always available, and repeatable seasonal population depression for Bactrocera species has been documented. This has led to a recent hypothesis that some species in the genus may undergo seasonal reproductive arrest during the year. Working with outdoor-maintained mixed-sex colonies at a subtropical site, we documented changes in Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) female reproductive status and fecundity over time, with an emphasis on the period from May to August (winter), when population numbers in the field decline and then rebuild. Based on dissection, female flies emerging in mid-May did not contain mature eggs in the ovaries until mid-July, while sperm in the spermathecae was not observed until early August. Based on day degree accumulation and normal development, sexual maturation should have occurred by mid-June; that it did not provides evidence for delayed sexual development acting independently of ambient temperature. Fecundity was greatly suppressed in July compared to egg production in spring and summer, and mating was again delayed. Flies surviving from May through to September laid 70% of the egg load of new-generation spring flies emerging and had a similar egg fertility, showing large reproductive potential of ‘old’ flies. The results support a hypothesis for a seasonal break in breeding by B. tryoni that is not solely temperature related.","PeriodicalId":8574,"journal":{"name":"Austral Entomology","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/aen.70035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145766339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The so-called ‘Réunion’ planthopper, Euroxenus vayssieresi (Hemiptera: Issidae) appears to be a new emerging invasive horticultural pest species that is spreading across tropical regions around the world. Its true origins, pathways, hosts and impacts on plants are largely unreported. Here we report the first two detections of E. vayssieresi within the Australian region, in tropical locations over 1600 km apart, suggesting rapid long-distance human-mediated movement. Additionally, we provide the first global account of the horticultural impacts of the planthopper. We model the climatic suitability for the planthopper across the world, highlighting where this pest is most likely to establish if introduced. Silent or cryptic invasions by poorly detected, but rapidly expanding invertebrate species such as the Réunion planthopper represent ongoing challenges for biosecurity monitoring, emphasizing the importance of both sufficient surveillance to detect such cryptic pest species, and taxonomic resources capable of facilitating early detections of cryptic invasions.","PeriodicalId":8574,"journal":{"name":"Austral Entomology","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145772608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
