* Simplified identification keys illustrated by family, subfamily, tribe, and species.
* A synthetic monogra...
Sequence comparison of mitochondrial gene COI confirms that Graphosoma italicum is a valid
and distinct species from Graphosoma lineatum. G. lineatum is a more genetically distant species from
G. italicum than the well characterized Asian species Graphosoma rubrolineatum. The distribution
of G. lineatum is limited to North Africa and Sicily. G. ita...
Nine identified species of Asopinae belonging to seven genera were previously reported from French Guiana. Twelve more species are reported here for the first time. Thus, a total of 21 species in nine genera of Asopinae are now known and reported from French Guiana, which represents about 20 % of all the Asopinae species recorded in South America,...
Kings and queens of eusocial termites can live for decades, while queens sustain a nearly maximal fertility. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying their long lifespan, we carried out transcriptomics, lipidomics and metabolomics in Macrotermes natalensis on sterile short-lived workers, long-lived kings and five stages spanning twenty ye...
Carpocoris mediterraneus Tamanini, 1958, synonymized with Carpocoris fuscispinus (Boheman, 1851) by Ribes et al. (2007), is restored to the species level. The shape of the pronotum is a good diagnostic character to distinguish the two species. The existence of two valid species is supported by geographical distribution patterns in Western Europe: M...
The first record of the Eremian species Codophila maculicollis (Dallas, 1851) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in Cyprus is reported. The distribution of the species in the Mediterranean Region is summarised.
Since the first European observation in 2015 of Erthesina fullo (Thunberg, 1783) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Halyini) in Albania in the region of Durrës and Tirana, observations have remained limited to this 40 km wide region. The number of observations of E. fullo increased significantly in this region in 2023 and 2024. For the first ti...
The first record of Andrallus spinidens (Fabricius, 1787) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Asopinae) for Cyprus is reported. The distribution of the species is summarised.
Phimodera flori, a rare high-altitude Scutelleridae known in Italy only in three regions of the Alps, is observed for the first time in the Apennines massif, in the Abruzzo region of Italy, 600 km south of these places.
In Macaronesia, Eurydema oleracea (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is only present in the Azores. Eurydema lundbladi Lindberg, 1960 and Eurydema ornata (Linnaeus, 1758) are present in the Canary Islands. No Eurydema Laporte, 1832 species has been found in the Cape Verde Islands. Eurydema ventralis Kolenati, 1846 is observed for the first...
The Neotropical species Edessa graziae Fernandes & Silva, 2021 (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) was found for the first time in Spain in 2023 and 2024. This species was able to overwinter on its host-plant Dolichandra unguis-cati (L.) L.G. Lohmann (Bignoniaceae). So far, this is the only species of the subfamily Edessinae found and established in the Old...
L'entomofaune des forêts mésophiles de Lépinay (Rivière-Pilote et Sainte-Luce) et de Montravail (Sainte-Luce), a été inventoriée du 9 au 28 avril 2023.
Le dispositif d’échantillonnage est proche de celui mis en place lors des différentes campagnes d’inventaire de l’entomofaune des ZNIEFF conduites entre 2011 et 2021. Le protocole intègre un nombre...
The first record of Neostrachia bisignata (Walker, 1867) (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Minidini) for Italy is reported. This record extends to the west, the distribution of this species only known in Europe from southern Greece previously.
Cette étude est un inventaire standardisé des Coléoptères forestiers de huit stations du massif montagneux de la Basse Terre de Guadeloupe, visant à rechercher des espèces endémiques et peu connues. Les stations suivantes ont été étudiées : Piton de Sainte-Rose, Morne Mazeau, Belle Isle,
Morne à Louis, Maison de la Forêt, Crête Corossol, Piton l'H...
The first record of the rare true bug species Heterogaster cathariae (Geoffroy, 1785) (Heteroptera, Heterogastridae) in Luxembourg was made in October 2022 using the community science application iNaturalist. The subsequent collection of four specimens – deposited at the National Museum of Natural History, Luxembourg – led to the first global produ...
The Pentatomoidea of the French West Indies (Hemiptera, Heteroptera). The first inventory of Pentatomoidea observed on the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique is carried out. A total of 48 species are listed in the French West Indies, including 43 in Guadeloupe and 32 in Martinique. In Guadeloupe, 24 species out of 43 are mentioned for the first t...
The entomofauna of two sectors of hygrophilic forest on the northern/north-eastern slopes of Montagne Pelée (Martinique, Lesser West Indies) was surveyed from the end of May to the beginning of June 2022: Bois Leyritz (Basse-Pointe) and Maison du Moine (Grand'Rivière / Macouba).
The sampling scheme is similar to the one set up for the entomologica...
About twenty specimens of Dybowskyia reticulata (Dallas, 1851) were observed for the first time in
France, and Western Europe, in the Chartreuse massif (Isère) in August 2022. This relatively common
species in the Far East (Eastern China, Korea, Japan, Siberia) is extremely rare in Eastern Europe where
only 14 specimens have been recorded since 190...
The entomofauna of four natural areas of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest (ZNIEFF) located in the rainforests of north-central Martinique ( Lesser Antilles) was sampled in 2021.
In addition, a control station in a rural area and secondary woodland, Fond Marie-Reine
(Champflore), was added, whose purpose is to calibrate the heritage valu...
Graphosoma melanoxanthum is reported for the first time in Iraq. In natura photo, it is shown on a newly reported host plant Eryngium billardierei (Apiaceae). The distinguishing characters of G. melanoxanthum are discussed, and the global distribution map of this species in the Middle East with some new records is provided
Erthesina fullo (Thunberg, 1783) is recorded for the first time in Europe. Collected specimens in 2020 from Albania were identified by comparing the length of their rostrum. This species can acclimatize on two local trees, namely Tilia cordata Miller, 1768 and Ziziphus jujuba Miller, 1768.
Eusocial termite queens achieve nearly maximal fertility throughout their extremely long life without apparent signs of aging. Termites represent, therefore, an ideal model for aging research. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying their long reproductive life, we carried out transcriptomic, lipidomic and metabolomic analyses on fat bod...
Dans le cadre d’un programme d’inventaire conduit depuis 2011, l'entomofaune de cinq zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) situées dans le sud / sud-est de la Martinique (Petites Antilles) a été échantillonnée en 2020. S’est également ajoutée une station témoin en zone rurale agricole, Rivière Massel (Vauclin),...
The genus Erthesina is recorded for the first time in Europe. It has been observed at least 16 times in Albania since 2017 and since nymphs were found, it means the species is well implanted, can survive in winter, may become invasive and cause damage to crops.
Dans le cadre d’un programme d’inventaire conduit depuis 2011, l'entomofaune de cinq zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) situées dans le centre et l’est de la Martinique (Petites Antilles) a été échantillonnée au titre du programme d’étude 2019. S’est également ajoutée une station témoin en zone rurale agricol...
A list of 160 species of Heteroptera observed on the island of Belle-Île-en-Mer (Morbihan department) is presented. Two species of Miridae: Heterocordylus genistae and Hallodapus montandoni are mentioned for the first time in the Massif armoricain. Lygaeus simulans (Lygaeidae), Strobilotoma typhaecornis (Coreidae) and Sciocoris microphthalmus (Pent...
The reversible adenine phosphoribosyltransferase enzyme (APRT) is essential for purine homeostasis in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In humans, APRT (hAPRT) is the only enzyme known to produce AMP in cells from dietary adenine. APRT can also process adenine analogs, which are involved in plant development or neuronal homeostasis. However, the molecula...
Five species of the Neotropical genus Phalaecus Stål, 1862 were known up to now: P. lineatus Grazia, 1983, P. nigromaculatus Grazia, 1983, P. paraense Grazia, 1983 P. pustulatus (De Geer, 1773), and P. ruckesi Grazia, 1983. P. pustulatus was the only species mentioned from French Guiana. We mention here the first records of P. lineatus, P. nigromac...
First record of Phimodera flori Fieber, 1863 in Spain (Hemiptera Scutelleridae). Phimodera flori, known from France only in the departments of Hautes-Alpes and Pyrenees-Orientales, is observed for the first time in Catalonia (Spain). This species is now known from five locations in the Catalan Pyrenees.
The nymphs of six species of Pentatomidae (Acrosternum rubescens, Eudolycoris alluaudi, Eurydema lundbladi, Graphosoma interruptum, Piezodorus punctipes, Sciocoris canariensis) endemic to the Canary Islands are photographed alive in their biotope for the first time. Adults from these nymphs are also shown. The observation stations are mentioned on...
Phosphoribosyltransferases catalyze the displacement of a PRPP α-1′-pyrophosphate to a nitrogen-containing nucleobase. How they control the balance of substrates/products binding and activities is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the human adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (hAPRT) that produces AMP in the purine salvage pathway. We show tha...
Phimodera humeralis (Dalman, 1823): new observation in the Gironde department of this very rare true bug not recorded in France since more than 80 years (Hemiptera Scutelleridae). Phimodera humeralis (Dalman, 1823) was found in the coastal dunes of the Nord-Médoc. This datum confirms the presence of this rare species in France and in the Gironde de...
The holotype of Edessa amazonica was not collected in French Guiana but in Surinam. Then, this species is new for Surinam, as well as for French Guiana since four specimens of E. amazonica were recently discovered there, including one female photographed and described for the first time. Amazonian geographical distribution of the three closely rela...
The presence of Irochrotus maculiventris in France is disputed, because its collector has discovered another
Irochrotus from Algeria and because this species lives in arid environments in Spain and Sicily, absent in France and mainland Italy. Two new stations in Spain are mentioned. Photographs of adults male and female are shown, as well as the se...
Encore un petit Choco-croque de grillons ou un Crumble aux vers de farine ? Délicieuses gourmandises ! Comment ne pas se lancer dans cette découverte gastronomique quand les insectes sont envisagés comme source majeure de protéines animales pour les décennies à venir ? Le sujet est à la mode mais exige d’être abordé sans tomber dans la raillerie, l...
The genus Calagasma Bergroth synonymized with the genus Epipedus Spinola by Rolston (1987) is reinstated. The diagnostic characters of the genus Calagasma are redefined, pictures of the Calagasma margarita syntype and recently collected specimens from French Guiana, including males hitherto unknown are presented. Calagasma eclipsa, a new species fr...
The full developmental cycle of Elasmucha ferrugata was observed during years on Ribes nigrum L. (Blackcurrant) in Belgium. The movement of the nymphs associated with nutrition, and maternal care of the female are decribed and photographed.
The Pentatomoidea of France (Hemiptera, Heteroptera): taxonomic clarifications and nomenclatural and biogeographical updates. The status of seventeen taxa of Pentatomoidea is discussed based on the examination of numerous specimens preserved in collections. Three new synonyms are proposed: CYDNIDAE: Byrsinus flavicornis (F., 1794) = Cydnus fuscipes...
Arthropods represent most of global biodiversity, with the highest diversity found in tropical rain forests. Nevertheless, we have a very incomplete understanding of how tropical arthropod communities are assembled.
We conducted a comprehensive mass sampling of arthropod communities within three major habitat types of lowland Amazonian rain forest,...
Potential of turmeric extract and its chemical fractions were evaluated to control the infestation of
Bactrocera zonata peach fruit fly in a mortality-based bioassay. The turmeric extract (TE) was taken on Soxhelt’s extraction apparatus and chemically fractioned by thin layer followed by column chromatography into 6 fractions (F1 ...F6). Fifty pai...
Identification of the nymphs in the genus Carpocoris from France (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). RIBES and PAGOLA-CARTE (2013) did not argue their recent synonymy of Carpocoris mediterraneus, species previously revalidated by LUPOLI et al. (2013). This species is then valid and therefore five species of the genus Carpocoris are found in France. An ident...
Les cantharides sont utilisées de façon ininterrompue depuis plusieurs millénaires. Leurs propriétés, entre autres vésicatoire et aphrodisiaque, sont mentionnées de façon quasi-constante dans les écrits, de même que la dangerosité de leur emploi. Mais les avis divergent quant au choix des techniques de récolte, conservation, préparation et administ...
Structure d’un analogue procaryote de la Guanylate Cyclase soluble : effets de ligands gazeux
Livre de 290 pages.
On parle de plus en plus de protection de la biodiversité. On dénonce avec raison la destruction des forêts tropicales et des espèces qu’elles recèlent. On parle de millions d’espèces et du manque de temps pour toutes les découvrir, avant qu’elles ne soient détruites par l'homme. En dehors du fait que ces espèces ont tout simple...
Byrsinus albipennis a été collecté en Corse pour la première fois. Il s’agit d’une nouvelle espèce de Cydnidae pour la faune de France. À cette occasion, quelques éléments synthétiques de biogéographie et d’écologie sont donnés. Une clé de détermination des espèces du genre Byrsinus est présentée afin d’encourager les naturalistes à collecter et id...
La complexité de la biodiversité est telle que les concepts d’espèces et de sous-espèces continuent de poser des questions aux systématiciens. Les limites entre le rang spécifique et subspécifique restent parfois confuses et varient de manière importante selon les groupes systématiques étudiés (Isaac et al., 2004). D’abord utilisée pour traiter des...
Cantharenone 1, a new diterpene structurally related to the prenylbisabolane skeleton, has been isolated from the beetle Cantharis livida (Cantharidae). Its structure has been determined on the basis of its spectral properties. This is the first report of such a type of diterpenoid from an insect.
Ce travail est fondé sur une large étude bibliographique et sur l’examen de 30 000 spécimens de Pentatomoidea, sur le terrain ou dans les collections privées et publiques. Les changements dans la taxinomie et la nomenclature intervenus au cours des dernières années sont pris en compte et permettent de dresser une liste de référence actualisée des t...
A sample of seventy-two Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae) clones was collected in southeastern France. The efficiency of these clones to transmit a potyvirus (papaya ringspot virus T-strain) was assessed in controlled conditions. In a first screening, the virus was transmitted by all clones and a 3.5-fold difference between the most and...
Reproducibility of measurements of the transmission rate of a given potyvirus by a given aphid vector was assessed using a standardised transmission procedure. The plant-virus-vector system studied was: Cucurbita pepo - Papaya ringspot virus - Aphis gossypii.
Several elements concerning the rearing and handling of the aphids were analysed. One of t...
Total DNA from clones of Rhopalosiphum maidis was digested with restriction endonucleases and hybridised with a heterospecific ribosomal DNA probe. DNA banding patterns exhibited sufficient differences to distinguish five different clones, and provided greater resolving power than gel electrophoresis of allozymes. The mechanisms and applications of...
Un critère de différenciation des populations de pucerons reposant sur les techniques d'hybridation d'une sonde d'ADN ribosomal aux fragments de restriction (RFLP) a été obtenu. La variabilité observée est liée aux régions non transcrites de l'ADN ribosomal. Elle n'est pas la même chez toutes les espèces de pucerons: on l'observe à l'échelle d'un m...
