Review of the New World Genera of the Leafhopper Tribe Erythroneurini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae)

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Irregularly published technical series. Abstract: The genus-level classification of New World Erythroneurini is revised based on results of a phylogenetic analysis of 100 morphological characters. The 704 known species are placed into 18 genera. Erasmoneura Young and Eratoneura Young, previously treated as subgenera of Erythroneura Fitch, and Erythridula Young, most recently treated as a subgenus of Arboridia Zachvatkin, are elevated to generic status. Three species previously included in Erasmoneura are placed in a new genus, Rossmoneura (type species, Erythroneura tecta McAtee). The concept of Erythroneura is thereby narrowed to include only those species previously included in the nominotypical subgenus. New World species previously included in Zygina Fieber are not closely related to the European type species of that genus and are therefore placed in new genera. Neozygina, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura ceonothana Beamer, includes all species previously included in the ceonothana group, and Zyginama, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura ritana Beamer, includes most species previously included in the ritana group of New World Zygina. Five additional new genera are described to include other previously described North American Erythroneurini: Hepzygina, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura milleri Beamer and also including E. aprica McAtee; Mexigina, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura oculata McAtee; Nelionidia, n. gen., based on type species N. pueblensis, n. sp., three additional new species, and Erythroneura amicis Ross; Neoimbecilla, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura kiperi Beamer and one new species; and Illinigina, n. gen., based on type species Erythroneura illinoiensis Gillette. Five new genera, based on previously undescribed species, are also recognized: Aztegina, n. gen, based on A. punctinota, n. sp., from Mexico; Amazygina, n. gen., based on type species A. decaspina, n. sp., and three additional new species from Ecuador; Hamagina, n. gen., based on type species H. spinigera, n. sp., and two additional new species from Peru and Ecuador; Napogina, n. gen., based on type species N. recta, n. sp., and one additional new species from Ecuador; Perugina, n. gen., based on type species P. denticula, n. sp., from Peru; and Spinigina, n. gen., based on type species S. hirsuta, n. sp., and an additional new species from Peru. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the New World Erythroneurini consist of three lineages resulting from separate invasions from the Old World.

Results of the 2006-2007 Non-resident Deer Hunter Survey

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Survey to characterize the hunting activity, land access, expenditures and motivations of nonresident deer hunters in Illinois. Abstract: A random sample of 3,000 non-residents who purchased deer hunting permits in Illinois during the 2006-2007 season were selected from license sales data. An 11-page questionnaire was mailed to the selected sample in January-March 2007. We received 1,916 useable responses from 2,945 deliverable addresses (65% response rate). Non-resident hunters purchased the most permits per hunter during the firearm deer hunting season, but hunted the most days during the archery deer season. Non-resident hunters harvested more large bucks (4 antler points on one side) than any other type of deer, and the harvest rate per hunter for large bucks was highest during the firearm season. Non-resident hunters spent an average of $2,142 (total) to hunt deer in Illinois for an average of 8.6 days. Eighteen percent of non-resident hunters leased land to hunt deer during 2006-2007 and paid an average of $1,435 each to do so. More hunters (37%) hired an outfitter to hunt deer in Illinois and they paid an average of $2,045 for those services. Leasing land and hiring an outfitter did not appear to increase hunters harvest over hunters who did not lease land or hire outfitters. Non-resident hunters were willing to harvest large bucks and does, but not willing to harvest small bucks or fawns. They harvested male deer and fawns at rates comparable to their stated willingness; however, they far under-harvested adult does in comparison to their reported willingness. Non-resident hunters find the quality of Illinois deer herd and their likelihood of harvesting a trophy deer the most important factors determining the quality of their hunt in Illinois. Most non-resident hunters were satisfied with the deer herd, the quality of their deer hunt and deer management in Illinois.

State of Illinois Section 319-Biannual Report

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

Grants issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under section 319 of the Clean Water Act include a condition requiring the submittal of a status report every six months. Non-point source pollution is the diffuse, intermittent runoff of pollutants from various sources. Major sources that contribute to Illinois' non-point source pollution problems are agriculture, construction erosion, urban runoff, hydraulic modifications, and resource extraction activities.

Annual Compliance Report for Public Water Supplies, 2005

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

The purpose of this annual compliance report is to satisfy the requirement of Section 1414(c)(3) of the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). States with national primary enforcement authority are to prepare, make readily available to the public, and submit to the Administrator of the USEPA by July 1 of each year, an annual report on violations occurring during the previous calendar year of national primary drinking water regulations by public water systems.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus) Funding for the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Program

Part of: Electronic Documents of Illinois

In many Illinois communities, there are abandoned gas stations or other facilities with no responsible party to pay for cleaning up underground storage tank leaks. These environmental hazards also prevent economic revitalization or other productive reuse in these communities. Illinois EPA anticipates receiving approximately $7.4 million from U.S. EPA as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), also known as the federal stimulus law, to clean up several of these sites so they may receive an IEPA No Further Remediation Letter that will facilitate their reuse.
