piceous

en-adj

piceous (comparative more piceous, superlative most piceous)

more piceous (comparative)
most piceous (superlative)

From Latin piceus (“like pitch; pitch-black”) + -ous (suffix forming adjectives denoting possession or presence of a quality). Piceus is derived from pix (“pitch, tar”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peyH- (“fat; milk”)) + -eus (suffix forming adjectives indicating the sources of attributes). The English word is cognate with Italian piceo (“like pitch; of a dark brown colour”), Spanish piceo (“like pitch; of a dark brown colour”).

Nymphs and adults of psocids are regularly found in caves. Psyllipsocidae (in Europe the most common psocid in caves is Psyllipsocus ramburii) and Prionoglarididae are perhaps particularly characteristic of caves.[…]In the case of psocids, it has been suggested that the Psyllipsocidae (an ancient group) may have survived by avoiding competition with more recent forms by inhabitibg caves or similar habitats.

oligolectic

/ˌɒlɪɡə(ʊ)ˈlɛktɪk/

/ɒˌlɪɡə(ʊ)-/

/ˌɑləɡoʊˈlɛktɪk/

From English oligo- (prefix meaning ‘few’) (from Ancient Greek ὀλῐ́γος (olígos, “few, little”), from Proto-Indo-European *(o)leyg- (“indigent, poor; miserable”)) + Ancient Greek λεκτός (lektós, “chosen”) (from λέγω (légō, “to choose; to arrange; to gather”), from Proto-Indo-European *leǵ- (“to collect, gather”)) + English -ic (suffix forming adjectives meaning ‘of or pertaining to’ from nouns), possibly modelled after eclectic.

der

(entomology) Relating to, or characteristic of, oligolecty.

oligolectique

relating to, or characteristic of, oligolecty


oligolecty

/ɒˌlɪɡə(ʊ)-/

Probably from oligolectic + -y (suffix forming abstract nouns denoting conditions, qualities, or states). Oligolectic is derived from English oligo- (prefix meaning ‘few’) (from Ancient Greek ὀλῐ́γος (olígos, “few, little”), from Proto-Indo-European *(o)leyg- (“indigent, poor; miserable”)) + Ancient Greek λεκτός (lektós, “chosen”) (from λέγω (légō, “to choose; to arrange; to gather”), from Proto-Indo-European *leǵ- (“to collect, gather”)) + English -ic (suffix forming adjectives meaning ‘of or pertaining to’ from nouns), possibly modelled after eclectic.

suffix

We have, thus, a case where different types of bees are similarly adapted to oligolecty on a certain group of plants.

1944 April 10, Charles Duncan Michener, “Comparative External Morphology, Phylogeny, and a Classification of the Bees (Hymenoptera)”, in Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, volume 82, article 6, New York, N.Y.: American Museum of Natural History, →ISSN, →OCLC, part 2 (Comparative External Morphology of the Bees), page 218, column 2:

The most likely explanation for oligolecty in bees is not different from the explanation of specificity of any organism to its habitat; in fact, oligolecty is a form of host specificity.

1954 June 21, Charles Duncan Michener, “Bees of Panamá”, in Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, volume 104, article 1, New York, N.Y.: American Museum of Natural History, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 6, column 2:

In so far as now known, all of the species exhibit a high degree of oligolecty (or monolecty) being restricted in pollen collecting to a single genus of plants.

1955 October, E[arle] G[orton] Linsley, J[ohn] W[inslow] MacSwain, Ray F[red] Smith, “Observations on the Nesting Habits and Flower Relationships of Some Species of Melandrina (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)”, in P. D. Hurd, Jr., editor, The Pan-Pacific Entomologist, volume XXXI, number 4, San Francisco, Calif.: Pacific Coast Entomological Society, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 175:

An individual of a polylectic species that takes pollen from only a few kinds of plants is showing flower constancy rather than oligolecty.

1974, Charles Duncan Michener, “Glossary”, in The Social Behavior of the Bees, Cambridge, Mass.: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, →ISBN, page 373, column 1:

Once oligolecty was documented, the following two summers were used for field study of widely separated populations of I. pandurata.

1978, Daniel F. Austin, “Morning Glory Bees and the Ipomoea pandurata Complex (Hymenoptera: Anthophoridae)”, in Manya B. Stoetzel, editor, Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, volume 80, number 3, Washington, D.C.: Entomological Society of Washington, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 397:

That oligolecty exists is indisputable, but its application to particular bee species engenders confusion and debate. […] We propose a definition of oligolecty that is sufficiently inclusive without diluting the intended meaning for undisputed cases: we define oligolecty as consistent and predictable reliance of a species on a few plant genera for their pollen needs.

2006, James H. Cane, Sedonia Sipes, “Characterizing Floral Specialization by Bees: Analytical Methods and a Revised Lexicon for Oligolecty”, in Nickolas M. Waser, Jeff Ollerton, editors, Plant–Pollinator Interactions: From Specialization to Generalization, Chicago, Ill., London: University of Chicago Press, →ISBN, part II (The Ecology and Evolution of Specialized and Generalized Pollination), page 110:

In most studies sampling is limited to a few sites, and therefore oligolecty is dubiously assigned. Moreover, both abundant and minor pollen types are generally considered at a same level of importance.

2018, Favio Gerardo Vossler, “Are Stingless Bees a Broadly Polylectic Group? An Empirical Study of the Adjustments Required for an Improved Assessment of Pollen Diet in Bees”, in Patricia Vit, Silvia R. M. Pedro, David W. Roubik, editors, Pot-pollen in Stingless Bee Melittology, Cham, Switzerland: Springer Nature, →DOI, →ISBN, part I (Pollen and the Evolution of Mutualism), section 2.2 (Pollen Specialization Categories in Bees), page 19, column 1:

The two most basal bee families, Dasypodaidae and Mellitidae, are predominantly composed of pollen specialists, indicating that oligolecty might be the ancestral state in bees[…]. In the western Palaearctic anthidiine bees, several transitions from oligolecty to polylecty were found, but none from polylecty to oligolecty[…].

scutellar

(entomology) Short for scutellar bristles.


nervule

From either nervure + -ule or nerve + -ule.

A close examination of the wing will always show a partially atrophied disco-cellular, connecting these nervules of the discoidal with either the subcostal or the median nervures, even when one of them has been described as quite free.

1845, Edward Doubleday, “Remarks on the Genus Argynnis”, in Transactions of the Linnean Society, volume 19, page 481:

The origin of the first and second median nervules corresponds to that of the two superior subcostal nervules; and the nervule closing the cell unites with the apical portion of the median nervule at a right angle.

1875, S. H. Scudder, “On the Structure and Transformations of Eumæus Atala”, in Memoirs of the Boston Society of Natural History, Volume 2, Part 4, Number 2, page 415:

2003, W. J. Holland, Cassia B. Farkas (editor), Field Guide to Butterflies, Revised and Updated Edition, page 12,
The branches of these compound veins are known as nervules. The median vein always has three nervules. The nervules of the subcostal veins branch up and outward, with from four to five subcostal nervules, toward the costal margin and the apex of the forewing.

(entomology) A minor vein in a wing of an insect.


calypter

From New Latin calyptra, from Ancient Greek κᾰλύπτρα (kalúptra, “hood”), from κᾰλύπτω (kalúptō, “I cover”).

der

The acrosticals are irregularly paired, with numerous accessory setulae between the rows; the lower calypters protrude distinctly beyond the margin of the upper;[…].

1947, Maurice T. James, Miscellaneous Publication 61: The Flies that Cause Myiasis in Man, U.S. Department of Agriculture, page 122:

The wings are hyaline and slightly smoky yellowish, while the calypters and wing fringes are pale yellowish (Steyskal, 1980).

2002, Elen L. Aguiar-Menezes, Euripides B. Menezes, Paolo Cesar R. Cassino, Marco A. Soares, “12: Passion Fruit”, in Jorge E. Peña, Jennifer L. Sharp, M. Wysoki, editors, Tropical Fruit Pests and Pollinators, page 373:

Traditionally this taxon^([Schizophora]) is subdivided into Calyptratae and Acalyptratae, based respectively on the strong or reduced development of the lower calypter.

(biology, entomology) Either of two rounded lobes at the posterior base of the wing in many true flies.

caliptro

either of two lobes covering the halteres


ptilinum

Borrowed from New Latin ptilīnum, itself an adaptation of the French ptiline.

As for the structure of the ptilinum itself, Strickland (1953) reported that the ptilina of Conopidae 'are voluminous and represent the most rugged type of ptilinum which we have encountered'.

1972, Graham C. D. Griffiths, The Phylogenetic Classification of Diptera Cyclorrhapha, page 243:

1980, Stuart E. Reynolds, Integration of Behaviour and Physiology in Ecdysis, Michael J. Berridge, J. E. Treherne, Vincent Brian Wigglesworth, Advances in Insect Physiology, Volume 15, page 500,
Certainly, the ptilinum, a special eversible sac on the head which is evidently a "hatching" structure, is instrumental in causing the puparium to crack along its line of weakness, a longitudinal line around the anterior end, which meets a circular line extending around the anterior margin of what was the 4th visible segment of the larvae cuticle (Laing, 1935).

The suture is of the nature of an extremely narrow slit, along the margins of which the wall of the head is invaginated to form a membranous sac or ptilinum, and the walls of the latter are seen to consist of the same layers as the integument.[…]The purpose of the ptilinum is to thrust off the anterior end of the puparium at a time when the contained imago is ready to emerge and to force the fly through soil, etc. (Fraenkel, 1936).

1994, Augustus Daniel Imms, R. Richard Gareth Davies, Owain Westmacott Richards, Imms’ General Textbook of Entomology, volume 1, page 953:

Push through the ground is accompanied by and partially brought about by alternate eversion and retraction of the blood-filled sac at the anterior end of the head — the ptilinum.[…]When the fly appears above ground, no resistance is felt by the ptilinum, and signals cease to be received by the sensory nerve fibers.

2004, D.R. Khanna, Advanced Embryology, page 55:

(zoology, entomology) A bladder-like pouch on the head of schizophoran flies that by expanding enables the fly to emerge from its puparium.

polydomy

From poly- + Ancient Greek δόμος (dómos, “house”) + -y.

Thus polydomy ensues when an entire colony breaks up into several nesting aggregations.

1987, Jörg Eder, Chemistry and biology of social insects, page 35:

The outpost phenomenon probably accounts for many cases of polydomy, defined as the dispersal of the colony into multiple nest sites.

1990, Bert Hölldobler, The Ants, page 390:

Although this uncertainty exists, the lack of absolute male bias confirms that seasonal polydomy is not a major influence on the population sex ratio.

1995, Andrew F. G. Bourke, Social Evolution in Ants, page 187:

(entomology) The situation where an ant colony is established across multiple nest sites.


spermatophagy

Spermatophagy, a rare habit of feeding on seeds or the outer layers of a fruit, is typified by species in the scolytid genus Poecilips (Coccotrypes).

1975, Pest management papers, numbers 2-7, Simon Fraser University, page 37:

The degree of carnivory/spermatophagy and preferences for food depend on the food choices available to a carabid.

2010, Ingrid H. Williams, Biocontrol-Based Integrated Management of Oilseed Rape Pests:

Spermatophagy (or spermophagy) as used by bark beetle researchers denotes species breeding in seeds and the surrounding fruit tissues.

2014, Fernando E. Vega, editor, Bark Beetles: Biology and Ecology of Native and Invasive Species:

(entomology) Of certain beetles, the consumption of fruits or seeds.


sphragis

The plastic mass begins to harden quite rapidly, probably within a few minutes but, as largely hollow sphragides have been dissected from pairs killed in copula, possibly more than one ejaculation may be required to complete the body of the sphragis.

1999, Roger Laurence Kitching, Biology of Australian Butterflies, page 129:

Mated females of many acraeine species bear an unusual structure around their genital opening. Such structures are called sphragides (singular: sphragis), or more rarely spermatophragma (Ehrlich & Ehrlich, 1978; Orr, 1995).

2008, Andrew F. E. Neild, The butterflies of Venezuela:

Bert first began studying sphragides in the Australian Big Greasy. The male, patterned in red, white, and black, is larger than the female and violent in his mating.

2009, Sharman Apt Russell, An Obsession With Butterflies: Our Long Love Affair With A Singular Insect:

(zoology, especially entomology) A mating plug in the genital opening of a female, formed from a waxy secretion deposited by a male during mating.


pleurostoma

From pleuro- (“lateral”) + Ancient Greek στόμα (stóma, “mouth”).

af

(entomology, anatomy) Part of the subgenal area above the mandible of an insect


postpetiolar

(anatomy, entomology) Of or pertaining to the postpetiole

metaventrite

The anterior pronotal angles are produced forward, the metaventrite is very short and the hind wings are absent.

2013, Adam Slipinski, Australian Beetles Volume 1: Morphology, Classification and Keys:

Mesocoxal cavities usually subcircular, narrowly to moderately widely separated, usually open laterally but occasionally closed by confluent meso- and metaventrites.

2014, Richard A.B. Leschen, Morphology and Systematics: Phytophaga, page 203:

(entomology) A ventral plate of the thorax lying behind and between the mesocoxal cavities.


ventrite

The plesiomorphic condition of abdominal ventrites II and III in Rhagovelia is interpreted to be one in which these ventrites are flat or broadly arched and of form similar to ventrites IV-VI.

1997, Dan Avery Polhemus, Systematics of the Genus Rhagovelia:

A rather widespread modification affecting the ventrites of beetles is what is known as “connation”, involving a reduction or complete loss of mobility at the junction between particular ventrites, usually starting with the basal ones.

2013, R. A. Crowson, The Biology of the Coleoptera, page 61:

Ventrites that are fused together, as evidenced by shallow or obsolete sutures, are said to be fused or connate, while “free” ventrites are those that are separated by distinct membranes.

postpedicel

From post- + pedicel.
Proposed by entomologist Brian R. Stuckenberg in 1999 due to disputes about the homology of the structure formerly known as the first flagellomere or third segment of the antenna.

...at least the multisegmented arista is beyond the pedicel in addition to the large antennomere, and postpedicel is thus ambiguous and lacking in precision.

satyrization

en-noun

satyrization (usually uncountable, plural satyrizations)

term-label

(American spelling, Oxford British English)

/ˌseɪtəɹaɪˈzeɪʃən/

From satyr (“sylvan deity represented as part man and part goat, characterized by riotous merriment and lasciviousness; lecherous man”) + -ization (suffix forming nouns denoting the act, process, or result of doing or making something), possibly coined by American scientist Jose M. C. Ribeiro and American entomologist Andrew Spielman (1930–2006) in a 1986 article: see the quotation.

suffix

A "satyr" is any male that successfully mates and reduces the reproductive success of a female of a different species or population. We sought to model the interaction of such potentially intermating species that are initially isolated in space but come to occupy overlapping niches. [...] Species extinction may result from reproductive competition (satyrization) alone.

1986 October, J. M. C. Ribeiro, A[ndrew] Spielman, “The Satyr Effect: A Model Predicting Parapatry and Species Extinction”, in The American Naturalist, volume 128, number 4, Chicago, Ill.: University of Chicago Press, →ISSN, →JSTOR, →OCLC, abstract, pages 513–528:

Collectively, these data are supportive of the Ae[des] albopictus satyrization hypothesis; but, much work must be done for a definitive answer to the very important question of whether sex peptide asymmetries are highly influential in satyrizations.

Hollingworth, editors, Natural and Engineered Pest Management Agents: Developed from the Conference on Natural and Derived Pest Management Agents Sponsored by the Division of Agrochemicals, Snowbird, Utah, August 9–14, 1992 (ACS Symposium Series; 551), Washington, D.C.: American Chemical Society, →ISBN, page 203:

Although there is some evidence to support the occurrence of this mechanism, also known as satyrization, in natural populations of ticks and tsetse flies (Ribeiro 1988), its importance as a population reduction mechanism among mosquitoes remains unsubstantiated.

2007, Thomas G. Floore, editor, Biorational Control of Mosquitoes (Supplement to the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association; volume 23, issue 2), Mount Laurel, N.J.: American Mosquito Control Association, →OCLC, page 278:

Sterility caused by cross-mating between Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti (a process known as satyrisation) may have initially contributed to the observed competitive reduction of Aedes aegypti by invasive Aedes albopictus in many areas of Florida.

Additional experiments demonstrating transfer of labelled semen from A[edes] albopictus males to A. aegypti females and low production of viable eggs of females housed with conspecific males, following exposure to A. albopictus males, confirm higher incidences of satyrization than expected, based on heterospecific insemination rates. We conclude that frequencies of satyrization based on detection of interspecific sperm in spermathecae may underestimate the impact of this form of reproductive interference.

Quantifying satyrisation by assessing interspecific sperm in spermathecae underestimates the capacity of male A[edes] albopictus to reduce the fitness of virgin female A. aegypti.

US researchers have added another piece to the puzzle that is satyrisation, one of the most complex aspects of the mosquito world. It only occurs in mosquitoes, in fact, but is of increasing interest as mosquito-borne diseases emerge as problems worldwide. In Greek mythology a satyr is a lusty fertile woodland deity, but satyrisation is the opposite. It occurs when the male of one species mates with the female of another, but instead of producing a hybrid, the result is no offspring at all. In fact, the unfortunate female is rendered sterile. Satyrisation is also the mechanism by which introduced mosquito species displace native mosquito species, particularly island endemics.

In several areas where Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) have come in contact following successful invasions, Ae. aegypti have been rapidly displaced by Ae. albopictus. Recent work has confirmed that mating interference, in the form of satyrization, is likely a driving factor in these competitive displacements. However, in sites of sympatry, Ae. aegypti females evolve resistance to satyrization, and in the laboratory, satyrization-susceptible Ae. aegypti can evolve resistance within a few generations of cage exposure to Ae. albopictus.
