Frederick Arthur Godfrey Muir
Frederick Arthur Godfrey Muir (24 April 1873 – 13 May 1931) was an English entomologist who worked in Africa and Hawaii. He wrote extensively describing many new species of insect and establishing the family Kinnaridae. He was also a pioneer of biological control. Muir was born in Clapham, London to Joseph Alexander and Annie Marie (Lempriere) Muir. He studied in private schools and worked for ten years in Africa with the Eastern Telegraph Company from 1886 to 1905. He took an interest in insects and was encouraged by David Sharp and joined the experimental station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association at Honolulu in 1905 and worked extensively on insects, especially those that suck sap in the superfamily Fulgoroidea. He initially worked under Robert Cyril Layton Perkins where he continued the work of Albert Koebele on the destructive ''Perkinsiella saccharicida''. Work included travel to Southeast Asia to seek parasites to control the pests of cane in Hawaii. In 1913 he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Planthoppers
A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, a group exceeding 12,500 described species worldwide. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers. However, planthoppers generally walk very slowly. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, though surprisingly few are considered pests. The infraorder contains only a single Superfamily (zoology), superfamily, Fulgoroidea. Fulgoroids are most reliably distinguished from the other Auchenorrhyncha by two features; the bifurcate ("Y"-shaped) anal vein in the forewing, and the thickened, three-segmented antenna (biology), antennae, with a generally round or egg-shaped second segment (pedicel) that bears a fine filamentous Arista (insect anatomy), arista. Overview Planthoppers are laterally flattened and hold their broad wing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Delphacidae
Delphacidae is a family of planthoppers containing about 2000 species, distributed worldwide. Delphacids are separated from other "hoppers" by the prominent spur on the tibia of the hindleg. Diet and Pest species All species are phytophagous, many occurring on various grasses. Some species are significant pests and important vectors for cereal pathogens; for example: * The rice brown planthopper, ''Nilaparvata lugens'' (Stål) * The white-backed planthopper (rice), ''Sogatella furcifera'' (Horváth, 1899) * The sugarcane planthopper, ''Perkinsiella saccharicida'' Kirkaldy, 1903 Subfamilies, tribes and selected genera ''Fulgoromorpha Lists On the Web'' includes the following tribes and genera (complete lists where tribe unassigned): Asiracinae Auth.: Motschulsky, 1863 * Tribe Asiracini Motschulsky, 1863 * Tribe Eodelphacini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Idiosystatini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Neopunanini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Platysystatini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Tetrasteirini E ...

Indo-China
Mainland Southeast Asia, also known as the Indochinese Peninsula or Indochina, is the continental portion of Southeast Asia. It lies east of the Indian subcontinent and south of Mainland China and is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. It includes the countries of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, with peninsular Malaysia sometimes also being included. The term Indochina (originally Indo-China) was coined in the early nineteenth century, emphasizing the historical cultural influence of Indian and Chinese civilizations on the area. The term was later adopted as the name of the colony of French Indochina (today's Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam). Today, the term, Mainland Southeast Asia, in contrast to Maritime Southeast Asia, is more commonly referenced. Terminology The origins of the name Indo-China are usually attributed jointly to the Danish-French geographer Conrad Malte-Brun, who referred to the area as in 1804, and ...

Malesia
Malesia is a biogeographical region straddling the Equator and the boundaries of the Indomalayan and Australasian realms, and also a phytogeographical floristic region in the Paleotropical Kingdom. It has been given different definitions. The World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions split off Papuasia in its 2001 version. Floristic province Malesia was first identified as a floristic region that included the Malay Peninsula, the Malay Archipelago, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago, based on a shared tropical flora derived mostly from Asia but also with numerous elements of the Antarctic flora, including many species in the southern conifer families Podocarpaceae and Araucariaceae. The floristic region overlaps four distinct mammalian faunal regions. The first edition of the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD) used this definition, but in the second edition of 2001, New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago we ...
