New Zealand Prague October 2013 Ceratocombidae: Issidomimus sp. Tanzania Prague October 2013 Schizopteridae: Humpatanannus sp. Tanzania Prague October 2013 Schizopteridae: Biturinannus sp. Brazil Prague October 2013 Schizopteridae: Pinochius sp. India Prague October 2013
4 ? Schizopteridae ~ 240 described spp. Ceratocombidae ~ 50 described spp. Dipsocoridae ~ 25 described spp. 0.5mm 5 morphologically divergent families ~320 described species Monophyly of infraorder is controversial Tiny, cryptic bugs Symmetrical to asymmetrical and uniquely modified male genitalia Sexual dimorphism slight to extreme, with females often coleopteroid

10 NSF project goals 1. Assemble the largest worldwide collection of Dipsocoromorpha or litter bugs (~15,000 specimens). 2. Produce integrative taxonomic revisions of genera and species of Schizopteridae. 3. Test family-level concepts of the 5 recognized families of Dipsocoromorpha, the monophyly of the infraorder, and the classification of Schizopteridae. 4. Test hypotheses on the stepwise evolution of elytra (Fig.1) and genital and abdominal asymmetry Three-year project; starting date July 1, 2013

23 Keeping track of bulk sample sorting Preliminary IDs Habitus imaging (Leica MZ16) DNA extractions Specimen databasing Confocal SEM Compound microscope
24 What s next.? Start taxonomic projects Keep sorting, imaging, extracting, databasing. Chinannus Wygondzinsky 2 described spp.; several new spp. Male/female association?..and have a lot of fun! Schizoptera Fieber 62 described spp.; many new spp. Subgeneric limits? Corixidea Reuter genus group 6 genera and 16 described spp.; many new spp. Generic limits? Male/female association?
