Bassettia Tenuana
''Bassettia'' is a genus of gall wasps found in North America. Taxonomic history This genus was circumscribed by William Harris Ashmead in 1887. Ashmead named the genus after "Mr. H. F. Bassett, of Waterbury, Conn., who has done so much towards advancing our knowledge of these intricate Hymenopters". Two species were included in the genus's initial circumscription: ''B. floridana'', described in the same work, and '' B. tenuicornis''. Bassett had described the latter species in 1881, placing it in the genus '' Cynips''. Ashmead later designated ''B. floridana'' as the genus's type species. Species A 2007 revision of the genus by G. Melika and W. G. Abrahamson recognizes the following eight species in this genus: * '' Bassettia archboldi'' — Florida * '' Bassettia floridana'' — Connecticut, Florida * '' Bassettia gemmae'' — Missouri, Illinois, District of Columbia * '' Bassettia ligni'' — California, Oregon * ''Bassettia pallida'' — Georgia, Florida * '' Bassetti ...

William Harris Ashmead
William Harris Ashmead was an American entomologist born on 19 September 1855 at Philadelphia. He died 17 October 1908 at Washington D.C. After his studies in Philadelphia, Ashmead worked for the publisher J. B. Lippincott & Co. Later, he settled in Florida where he formed his own publishing house devoted to agriculture. He also launched the ''Florida Dispatch'', an agricultural weekly magazine which included a headed section devoted to injurious insects. In 1879, he began writing papers for scientific publications and, in 1887, he became a field entomologist working for the Ministry for the Agriculture of Florida. The following year, he became entomologist at the Agricultural Research station of Lake City, Florida, Lake City. In 1889, he worked again for the Ministry for Agriculture. The following year, and for two years, he traveled, in particular to Germany, to perfect his entomological knowledge. In 1895, he obtained the post of conservation assistant in the Department of E ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cynipidae
Gall wasps, also wikt:gallfly#Usage notes, traditionally called gallflies, are hymenopterans of the family Cynipidae in the wasp superfamily Cynipoidea. Their common name comes from the galls they induce on plants for larval development. About 1,300 species of this generally very small creature () are known worldwide, with about 360 species of 36 different genera in Europe and some 800 species in North America. Features Like all Apocrita, gall wasps have a distinctive body shape, the so-called Petiole (insect anatomy), wasp waist. The first abdominal tergum (the propodeum) is conjoined with the Thorax (insect anatomy), thorax, while the second abdominal segment forms a sort of shaft, the Petiole (insect anatomy), petiole. The petiole connects with the gaster (insect anatomy), gaster, which is the functional abdomen in apocritan wasps, starting with the third abdominal segment proper. Together, the petiole and the gaster form the metasoma, while the thorax and the propodeum mak ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bassettia Pallida
''Bassettia pallida'' is a species of gall wasp found in the Southern United States. This species was described by American entomologist William Harris Ashmead in 1896. ''B. pallida'' reproduces asexually in galls it induces on oak trees. The parasite '' Euderus set'', a eulophid wasp, has ''B. pallida'' as a host and manipulates its behavior. Taxonomy William Harris Ashmead described this species in 1896 based on a female specimen in the National Museum of Natural History. The holotype was collected in 1884 in Georgia. Distribution This species has been found in the American states of Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas. Its type location is Savannah, Georgia. Description Adult female The female is long. The antennae have thirteen joints. The head, antennae, thorax and legs are a brownish yellow color, while the posterior tibiae and eyes are dark brown and the abdomen is a polished black. A grooved line goes around the base of the scutellum. Biology Rep ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
