Taxonomic updates in some genera and species of Afrotropical Tephritinae (Diptera : Tephritidae) : short communication
Author D.L. HancockSource: African Entomology 14, pp 391 –394 (2006)More LessRecent studies on Afrotropical fruit flies (Tephritidae) have endeavoured to place the known genera of the flower-infesting subfamily Tephritinae into a classification of tribes, subtribes and generic groups, as well as resolve some of the questions of synonymy and nomenclature at generic and specific levels (Hancock 2001, 2003a, b; Hancock et al. 2001, 2003). Such studies form a necessary precursor to an understanding of the biogeography of the group.

Author J. EsterhuizenSource: African Entomology 14, pp 395 –397 (2006)More LessThe present work reports on tabanid species diversity and seasonal abundance from two areas observed during tsetse fly research in northeastern KwaZulu-Natal province. Both areas are included in the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park, a World Heritage Site where the insect diversity is of conservation interest.

Abundance of Cacodmus villosus (Stål, 1855) (Heteroptera : Cimicidae) on its host, Neoromicia capensis (Chiroptera : Vespertillionidae) : short communication
Authors: K. Reinhardt and D.S. JacobsSource: African Entomology 14, pp 398 –400 (2006)More LessA sample of bugs collected from Cape serotine bats, Neoromicia [Eptesicus] capensis (A.

RutherfordSource: African Entomology 14, pp 401 –403 (2006)More LessFulmekiola serrata (Kobus) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was recorded on sugarcane on mainland Africa for the first time during 2004.

Distribution of members of the Anopheles gambiae Giles s.l. complex in Namibia and susceptibility to insecticides used for malaria control : short communication
Authors: B.N. Ntomwa, P. Usuku, J.N. Govere, L. Manga, L.L. Koekemoer, R.H. Hunt and M. CoetzeeSource: African Entomology 14, pp 404 –406 (2006)More LessNamibia is the driest country in the southern African subregion, with 92 % of the total surface area classified as arid. However, in the northern regions of Kavango and Caprivi, high average temperatures, rainfall, humidity and permanent rivers are features making this area ideal for mosquito breeding and malaria transmission (De Meillon 1951).
