(Cape), C. foveolatipennis (Cape), C. limpopoana (S Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Mozambique),
C. lycii (Cape), C. reticulipennis (Cape), and C. spatiosiformis (Cape). They are associated with four plant families: Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae, and Solanaceae.

MIXED COLONY OF FORMICA PRATENSIS RETZ.
+ FORMICA CINEREA MAYR + FORMICA SANGUINEA LATR.
(HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) AND ITS PRESUMED ORIGIN

Abstract. A case of a queenright colony of Formica pratensis Retz. mixed with the workers of F. cinerea Mayr and some workers of F. sanguinea Latr. is described. The colony characterized by this composition has evolved from a pure F. cinerea colony that had been raided by F. sanguinea two years earlier. Another conflict with the same F. sanguinea revealed
the composition of this colony. The presumed circumstances of the origin of the specific mixed
colony are discussed in this paper.

Abstract. The adult and deutonymph of Microtrombidium pusillum (Hermann, 1804) are
redescribed; the heteromorphic larva reared in laboratory is described for the first time. The
taxonomic status of the genus is revised; diagnoses of all active instars are provided. The
neotype is designated basing on the female from which larvae have been obtained by experimental rearing. Megophthrombium Mullen and Vercammen-Grandjean, 1978,
Phlebotrombium Fain and Baker, 1993 and Crinitrombium Southcott, 1994 are considered
subjective junior synonyms of Microtrombidium Haller, 1882. Larvae hitherto described as
Microtrombidium do not belong to this genus; their generic status is discussed.
Alexothrombium gen. nov. based on Microtrombidium baerti Fain and Grootaert, 1993 as
type species and Parawillungella gen. nov. based on Microtrombidium nitidum
Southcott, 1994 as type species are described. The phenology, life cycle and parasitism of M.
pusillum are discussed and compared with adequate data for other Microtrombidiidae.

Abstract. By protecting their territory against all territorial ants, Formica rufa L. indirectly protected F. fusca L., nesting within their territory, against F. sanguinea Latr. raids.
The permanent costs to F. fusca caused by highly aggressive F. rufa within their territories
were outweighed by the benefits obtained by F. rufas protection against periodic raids of
F. sanguinea. We interprete our findings in the light of the hierarchy competitive framework
as follows.

Abstract. The number and arrangements of the abdominal trichobothria of nymphs and
adults in the subfamily Cephalocteinae are described and illustrated. Three types of abdominal trichobothrial patterns were recognized (contrary to all previous data indicating a single
uniform type for the whole subfamily), and two different numbers of trichobothria on ventrites IIIVII were recorded: 2+2 in adults of Cephalocteus Dufour, 1843, Pseudostibaropus

the 5th instar nymphs of Scaptocoris australis J. A. Lis, 1999 and Stibaropus pseudomi-

Tenebrionidae is discussed. Four main types of aedeagus structure in the Opatrinae have
been distinguished: opatrinoid, dendaroid, platynoid and oncotinoid, as well as three additional groups of genera (blapstinoid, melanimoid and dissonomoid), whose appurtenance to
