    Co-Authors: Mohammad Faisal, Sudhir Singh
    Abstract:

    Type specimens of 28 species of Chrysomelidae and one of Megalopodidae present in National Forest Insect Collection (NFIC), Forest Research Institute (FRI), Dehra Dun (India) are digitized. Information such as label data, original citations, photographs of specimens from dorsal side, and condition of specimens are provided. These types (4 primary and 25 secondary) belong to 20 genera, i.e. 19 in 12 tribes of 5 subfamilies of Chrysomelidae-Bruchinae (Spermophagus atroapicalis Pic, S. notatipennis Pic, S. uniformis Pic, Bruchus bilineatopygus Pic, B. gardneri Pic, B. albocallosus Pic, and B. maculatithorax Pic), Cassidinae (Callispa almora Maulik, Downesia sasthi Maulik Estigmena bicolor Bhasin, and Platypria garthwaitei Bhasin), Cryptocephalinae (Aetheomorpha coorgensis Bryant, Aspidolopha nigrocurvilinea Bryant, A. ornaticollis Bryant, Chlamys padmanabhai Bhasin, C. travancorensis Bhasin, Exema fulvitarsis Bryant, E. salemensis Bhasin, Melixanthus coorgensis Bryant, and Gynandrophthalma flaviventris Bryant), Eumolpinae (Trichotheca beesoni Bryant), Galerucinae (Chaetocnema merguiensis Bryant, Diorhabda trirakha Maulik, Elytropachys sandalensis Bryant, Longitarsus cyanipennis Bryant, L. taklechensis Bryant, Podagrica apicefulva Bryant and Sastra mamaya Maulik), and one in Megalopodidae Megalopodinae (Temnaspis quadriplagiatus Bryant).

    Abstract:

    A new species, Paraphaenodiscus udayveeri Singh sp. nov. , has been described and illustrated with automontaged photographs of both male and female. Species parasitized scale Insects on the leaves of Pterygota alata which were weaved into nest of red weaver ant, Oecophylla smaragdina (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Species is compared with P . chrysocomae Prinsloo and P . pedanus Prinsloo & Mynhardt. Key to world species of Paraphaenodiscus except European species is also given. Types are deposited with National Forest Insect Collection, Entomology Division, Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun, India (NFIC-FRI).

    Zootaxa, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mohammad Faisal, Sudhir Singh
    Abstract:

    Members of family Carabidae (Insecta: Coleoptera) are a dominant group of terrestrial predators. National Forest Insect Collection (NFIC) of Forest Research Institute, Dehradun (India) has a good Collection of carabids rich in type material. Here we report the details of the type specimens of 139 species included in 49 genera, 24 tribes and 14 subfamilies. Colour automontaged photographs of each type along with its original labels are also included.

    The Indian Forester, 2013
    Co-Authors: Mohd. Faisal, Sudhir Singh, Mohd. Yousuf
    Abstract:

    Buprestid type Collection has been studied and updated at National Forest Insect Collection (NFIC), Forest Research Institute (FRI), Dehradun, India. Buprestids in NFIC are represented by 11 subfamilies, 14 tribes, 15 genera having 54 holotypes 22 paratypes of 71 species. In the present contribution 71 Insect specimens belonging to family Buprestidae their subfamilies, tribes with male and female of Holotypes and Paratypes are digitized alongwith coloured photograph of each specimen taken with automontage3-D imaging system for long term use.

  • The nymph of Tortopus harrisi Traver (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae)
    MAGNOLIA PRESS, 2010
    Co-Authors: Molineri Carlos, Siegloch, Ana E., Righi-cavallaro, Karina O.
    Abstract:

    Polymitarcyidae is a family of burrowing mayflies (Ephemeroptera: Ephemeroidea) distributed throughout the world but with highest diversity in the Neotropics. Tortopus Needham & Murphy, with a Panamerican distribution, is known from twelve species described in the adult stage. Nymphs are only known for three species: T. puella (Pictet), T. obscuripennis Dominguez and T. sarae Dominguez, and present a rather homogeneous morphology (Molineri 2008). They were firstly described for T. puella by Scott et al. (1959) and later Molineri (2008) described the other two. Both studies reported that these species burrow U-shaped tunnels in clay banks of rivers and streams, thus preventing them from being sampled in most limnological studies (that use surbers, drags, or drift nets). The aim of the present contribution is to describe and illustrate the previously unknown nymph of Tortopus harrisi Traver that shows important anatomical differences with the other nymphs known in the genus. This morphological differentiation suggests a different habitat use by these nymphs, sampled with drag and surber samplers in sandy substrate. New locality records are given for T. harrisi in Brazil. The nymphs are preserved in alcohol, mouthparts, legs and genital rudiments were mounted in microscope slides with Canada Balsam. Drawings were made with a camera lucida attached to a stereo microscope. The material is deposited in CUIC (Cornell University Insect Collection, Ithaca, NY), IML (Instituto Miguel Lillo, Tucuman) and in MZSP (Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo). Catalogs and bibliography were consulted at Ephemeroptera Galactica (Hubbard 2009).CONICET[PIP 1484]CONICET[PICT 351]CONICET[PICT 528
