Piesmatidae
Piesmatidae is a small family of true bugs, commonly called ash-grey leaf bugs. The Piesmatidae are distributed mostly in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, with some occurring in Africa, Australia and South America. A common species found throughout the Americas is ''Piesma cinereum''. (2007): An Unusual, Primitive Piesmatidae (Insecta: Heteroptera) in Cretaceous Amber from Myanmar (Burma). ''American Museum Novitates'' 3611: 1-17.PDF fulltext/ref> Ash-grey leaf bugs are small insects, some 2–4 mm overall. The head, thorax and the firm part of the wings are extensively dimpled. This resembles the similar pattern of the Tingidae of the infraorder Cimicomorpha, and was initially taken to signify a close relationship. It is due to convergent evolution however. They feed on plant sap, mostly of Chenopodiaceae and Caryophyllaceae. ''Piesma linnavouri'' have been found on ''Acacia'' (Fabaceae). ''Mcateella'' have been found on many host plants but mostly ''Acacia'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Piesma Cinereum
''Piesma'' is a genus of ash-grey leaf bugs, insects of the family Piesmatidae. It is the type genus of the family. Description ''Piesma'' bugs are less than 4mm long and can be distinguished from the similar genus ''Parapiesma'' by the shape of the pronotum: the side margins have a clearly recognizable notch, which the other lacks. These insects are usually macropterous (having fully developed wings), but are sometimes brachypterous.

Mcateella
''Mcateella'' is a genus of ash-grey leaf bugs, insects of the family Piesmatidae, first described by Carl John Drake in 1924 The genus name honours Waldo Lee McAtee. The genus is endemic to Australia and is found in all mainland states and territories, with the exception of Victoria and the ACT. Elias and Cassis state that ''Mcateella'' feed not only on ''Acacias'', but on a wide range of plants.. A phylogenetic analysis found that ''Miespa'' is a sister taxon of ''Mcateella'', implying a transantarctic relationship.

Ypresian
In the geologic timescale the Ypresian is the oldest age or lowest stratigraphic stage of the Eocene. It spans the time between , is preceded by the Thanetian Age (part of the Paleocene) and is followed by the Eocene Lutetian Age. The Ypresian is consistent with the lower Eocene. Events The Ypresian Age begins during the throes of the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). The Fur Formation in Denmark, the Messel shales in Germany, the Oise amber of France and Cambay amber of India are of this age. The Eocene Okanagan Highlands are an uplands subtropical to temperate series of lakes from the Ypresian. Stratigraphic definition The Ypresian Stage was introduced in scientific literature by Belgian geologist André Hubert Dumont in 1850. The Ypresian is named after the Flemish city of Ypres in Belgium (spelled ''Ieper'' in Dutch). The definitions of the original stage were totally different from the modern ones. The Ypresian shares its name with the Belgian Ieper Group (French: ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Proteaceae
The Proteaceae form a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The family comprises 83 genera with about 1,660 known species. Together with the Platanaceae and Nelumbonaceae, they make up the order Proteales. Well-known genera include '' Protea'', '' Banksia'', '' Embothrium'', '' Grevillea'', '' Hakea'' and '' Macadamia''. Species such as the New South Wales waratah ('' Telopea speciosissima''), king protea ('' Protea cynaroides''), and various species of ''Banksia'', ''soman'', and ''Leucadendron'' are popular cut flowers. The nuts of '' Macadamia integrifolia'' are widely grown commercially and consumed, as are those of Gevuina avellana on a smaller scale. Australia and South Africa have the greatest concentrations of diversity. Etymology The name Proteaceae was adapted by Robert Brown from the name Proteae coined in 1789 for the family by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, based on the genus ''Protea'', which in 1767 Carl Linnaeus ...
