Virginia Museum of Natural History Scientific Publications Series The Virginia Museum of Natural History produces five scientific publication series, with each issue published as suitable material becomes available and each numbered consecutively within its series. Topics consist of original research conducted by museum staff or affiliated investigators based on the museum’s collections or on subjects relevant to the museum’s areas of interest. All are distributed to other museums and libraries through our exchange program and are available for purchase by individual consumers.

Memoirs are typically larger productions: individual monographs on a single subject such as a regional survey or comprehensive treatment of an entire group. The standardized format is an 8.5 x 11 inch page with two columns.

Jeffersoniana is an outlet for relatively short studies treating a single subject, allowing for expeditious publication. The standardized format is a single column on a 6 x 9 inch page.

Guidebooks are publications, often semi-popular, designed to assist readers on a particular subject in a particular region. They may be produced to accompany members of an excursion or may serve as a field guide for a specific geographic area.

Special Publications consist of unique contributions, usually book length, either single-subject or the proceedings of a symposium or multi-disciplinary project in which the papers reflect a common theme. Appearance and format are customized to accommodate specific needs; page size and layout varies accordingly.

The Insects of Virginia is a series of bulletins emphasizing identification, distribution, and biology of individual taxa (usually a family) of insects as represented in the Virginia fauna. Originally produced at VPI & SU in a 6 x 9 inch page size, the series was adopted by VMNH in 1993 and issued in a redesigned 8.5 x 11 inch, double column format.

Myriapodologica is a series of short occasional papers devoted to the taxonomy and classification of the four "myriapod" classes. Originally published at Radford University, the series was assumed by the Virginia Museum of Natural History in 1992. The last publication of this series is Volume 9, published in 2007.

Special Publications 1. Proceedings of the Second Symposium on Southeastern Fox Squirrels, Sciurus niger

Nancy D. Moncrief, John W. Edwards, and Philip A. Tappe; Editors In the 1980s, research on the biology and management of southeastern fox squirrels increased substantially. This increased research activity prompted John W. Edwards and Philip A. Tappe to organize the Southeastern Fox Squirrel Study Group, which met at Clemson University in August 1990 and 1992. Nancy D. Moncrief, VMNH Curator of Mammals, collaborated with them in 1992 to edit this volume and compile the abstracts.

VMNH Special Publication Number 1 is a collection of peer-reviewed manuscripts that provides a comprehensive overview of southeastern fox squirrel biology. The subject areas are diverse, ranging from nomenclature to aging techniques, and reflect the diverse interests of the study group.

Soft Cover: 89 pages Illustrations: black/white Dimensions: 8.5 x 11

2. Amphibians and Reptiles of Assateague and Chincoteague Islands Joseph C. Mitchell and John M. Anderson

Assateague and Chincoteague Islands are among the best-known barrier islands off the Atlantic coast of North America. Millions of people visit them every year for recreation. Most visitors are well acquainted with the famous Assateague ponies, but few know that these islands are home to unique assemblages of plants and animals.

This book provides information on some of the islands’ most secretive inhabitants, the amphibians and reptiles. Each of the seven species of amphibians and eighteen species of reptiles can be readily identified using the keys, color photographs, and descriptions in this book. Many interesting aspects of their biology are summarized in highly readable form.

Within these pages we discover why the islands are inhabited by far fewer species than are known to occupy the Delmarva mainland. We also learn about measures proposed to insure their long-term conservation, and how to observe these animals in their natural habitats. This book is the only source available that provides a window into the biology and ecology of two fascinating groups of animals on these barrier islands.

Special Publications 3. Scale Insects of Northeastern North America

Michael Kosztarab

Scale insects are among the major pests in orchards and nurseries, on trees in parks and forests, and on home garden ornamentals and house plants. Economic losses from scale insects in the United States reach an estimated 500 million dollars annually.

Both adult sexes and immature stages are described for all of the 254 species of this group occurring from Virginia to Newfoundland and west to the Mississippi River, with information on general biology, host plants and parasite/predator species.

Four separate indices provide quick access to both the insects and their host plants.

Introductory chapters discuss collection and preparation of material for study, and suggestions for control of economically important species.

4. Developing Staff Resources for Managing Collections

Edited by Paisley S. Cato, R. Robert Waller, Llyn Sharp, John Simmons, Stephen L. William

Institutions are facing increased pressures to provide services with decreasing resources and increasing accountability. Similarly, pressures and trends both within institutions and society are causing the field of collections management to evolve rapidly. To meet their collections management responsibilities, institutions must plan strategically for professional development of staff involved in the collection management system.

The Canadian Museum of Nature and Virginia Museum of Natural History implemented a project to establish a framework for developing staff resources for collections management.

The results, as reported in this publication, include a clarification of the knowledge and skills required for collection management as well as recommendations to address professional development needs of the institution and its staff.

Special Publications 7. Proceedings of the Appalachian Biogeography Symposium Edited by Ralph P. Eckerlin

This book features twenty-five chapters describing the distribution, ecology, and evolution of plants and animals in the Appalachian mountains. The Symposium was held at Virginia Polytechnic and State University in June, 1995. Building on the foundation provided by a series of symposia convened 1969-1976 on The Distributional History of the Biota of the Southern Appalachians, these contributions provided new knowledge of the flora and fauna of this region as well as new information gained from the recent application of methodologies not included in the previous volumes.

8. Checklist of the Millipeds of North and Middle America Richard Hoffman

Neglected for decades by all but a small number of taxonomists, millipeds are gradually becoming recognized as important members of the soil and litter biotopes around the world. Aside from their role in soil formation, these animals provide exceptionally valuable materials in the study of biogeography and evolution. Since probably less than 20 percent of the actual world fauna has yet been described, basic taxonomy will merit the highest priority for many years to come.

Checklist of the Millipeds of North and Middle America by VMNH curator of Recent Invertebrates Dr. Richard Hoffman, provides a complete summary of 2,167 species considered valid. It not only incorporates the numerous taxonomic innovations of the past 30 years, but presents complete bibliographic information on the nearly equal number of names provisionally considered to be invalid synonyms. Each entry encapsulates data about original description, major subsequent changes in status or affiliation, location of type material, brief statements of distribution, and references to published maps. Those species of stilluncertain status are grouped under specific categories, often with hints concerning their possible identities.

Special Publications 10. Identification of Waterfowl Breastbones and Avian Osteology (Sterna) of North American Anseriformes David W. Oates, Ed D. Boyd and Jennifer S. Ramaekers

Morphological features of duck breastbones provide a means for identification to genus, and certain measurements and observations may allow for further identification to the species level. In an attempt to identify duck breastbones, observations were made on over 2,300 specimens, of which 1,350 were actually measured and morphological characteristics tables created (Appendix). To assist field and museum personnel, a dichotomus key, along with an identification table.

11. A Classification and Checklist of the Genus Psudanophthalmus Jeannel (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechinae) Thomas C. Barr, Jr.

Predaceous carabid beetles are important elements in the fragile ecosystems of caves worldwide, and provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of postglacial dispersal and evolution especially in eastern North America where the cave beetle fauna is dominated by species of the endemic genus Pseudanophthalmus.

The present treatment provides a comprehensive overview of the 145 species and subspecies considered to be valid, with a new classification recognizing 26 speciesgroups and a complete listing of relevant taxonomic literature. The annotated checklist emphasizes distribution and relationships, and a concluding appendix summarizes distribution by state and county. This information-packed account by the leading authority on cave beetles will prove essential for speleobiologists as well as coleopterists interested in the family Carabidae.

13. The Hispine Beetles of America North of Mexico (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) C. L. Staines

A key is presented to the 14 genera and 74 species and subspecies of hispines (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae) known to occur in America north of Mexico. Each genus and species is described and illustrated. The known larvae are described and the known biology is summarized. Baliosus ferrugineus from Arizona and Microrhopala inermis from British Columbia, Montana, and Oregon, are described as new. Sumitrosis arnetti Butte is synonymized with S. inaequalis (Weber); Microrhopala rubrolineata signaticollis LeConte, M. rubrolineata militaris Van Dyke, and M. rubrolineata vulnerata Horn are synonymized under M. rubrolineata (Mannerheim). The holotype of Platocthispa lateritia (Smith) has been located making the neotype designation of Staines (1997) invalid. Pentispa morio (Fabricius) is reported from the United States for the first time.

Special Publications 14. Geology and Paleontology of the Lee Creek Mine, North Carolina, IV

Edited by Clayton E. Ray, David J. Bohaska, Irina A. Koretsky, Lauck W. Ward, and Lawrence G. Barnes

The Lee Creek series of four volumes describes the spectacular array of fossils found at that site. Lee Creek I illustrates the microfossils; Lee Creek II addresses the larger invertebrates; and Lee Creek III is a study of the lower vertebrates, fish, sharks, and reptiles. Lee Creek IV (VMNH Special Publication 14) is a study by ten different authors of marine and terrestrial mammals found at the site. Included are the whales, porpoises, walruses, seals, and land mammals such as cats, bears, camels, tapirs, horses, and mastodons. This is a massive work consisting of eight chapters with hundreds of illustrations of these vertebrates. One chapter includes an illustrated key to the index invertebrates that enable the age of the vertebrates to be determined. A chart illustrating all of the 12 fossil-bearing strata in the pit in their stratigraphic (age) order is included. No paleontological site on the Atlantic Coastal Plain or east of the Mississippi has received as much study and attention as the Lee Creek Mine near Aurora, North Carolina.

15. Bryozoan Studies 2007: Proceedings of the 14th International Bryozoology Association Conference, Boone, North Carolina, July 1-8, 2007 Edited by Steven J. Hageman, Marcus M. Key Jr., and Judith E. Winston

This volume contains thirty-six papers from the presentations at the 14th International Conference of the International Bryozoology Association, held at Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, July 1-6, 2007. Nestled in a valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the picturesque town of Boone has been a center for bryozoan studies for the last 40 years. First Ken McKinney and now Steve Hageman have been paleontology faculty at Appalachian State University (ASU), making Boone a most appropriate (and, for some attendees, exotic) site for an IBA conference.

This superb conference was hosted by Steve Hageman and enjoyed by some 70 scientists from 25 different countries. Conference host Steve Hageman thanks, especially, Wendy May and Beth Higley, Office of Conference and Institutes and Lauri Miller, Department of Geology at Appalachian State University for their hard work in ensuring that everything ran smoothly.

Special Publications 16. A Lifetime of Contributions to Myriapodology and the Natural History of Virginia: A Festschrift in Honor of Richard L. Hoffman's 80th Birthday Edited by Steven M. Roble and Joseph C. Mitchell

Richard Hoffman is a native Virginian who has devoted most of his life to the natural history of Virginia and the southern Appalachians, while also earning an international reputation as the leading authority on the world's milliped fauna. He has published 485 scholarly papers and books, and more than 50 popular articles on such diverse taxa as millipeds, amphibians, reptiles, worms, mollusks, arachnids, beetles, and true bugs. He has described more than 600 new taxa and has had nearly 50 taxa named in his honor.

Prior to his retirement on April 1, 2009, Dr. Hoffman served as the Curator of Recent Invertebrates at the Virginia Museum of Natural History for 20 years. In celebration of his 80th birthday and career achievements, numerous colleagues, coworkers, friends, and family participated in a symposium and banquet at the museum on September 22, 2007. This collection of 32 papers from 41 authors on four continents is representative of Hoffman's broad taxonomic interests, and includes species ranging from salamanders, millipeds, centipeds, and crustaceans to insects, plants, and fossil mammals. Descriptions are presented for one new genus and 32 new species, 11 of which are named in honor of Hoffman. Several of these species occupy highly threatened habitats and are potentially threatened with extinction. A PDF of the table of contents is available online at www.vmnh.net.

2. Molluscan Biostratigraphy of the Miocene, Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain of North America Lauck W. Ward

In spite of over one hundred years of attention to the Miocene geology of the Coastal Plain of the middle Atlantic states of North America, until the publication of this volume the area lacked a comprehensive biostratigraphic framework. In this volume, biostratigraphic concepts are reviewed and a zonation based on mollusks is proposed that covers the relatively complete Miocene section in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. A series of eight interval-zones are described, based on first-occurrence data of stratigraphically important mollusks, and the entire time sequence of the Miocene is represented.

The mollusks used in the study are treated systematically, and their nomenclatural histories as well as their geographic and stratigraphic ranges discussed. Thirty-five new species or subspecies and seven new genera are named and described. This well-illustrated monograph on the Miocene strata and fauna will be an essential source for scientists, educators, students, and amateurs. The twenty-six excellent fossil plates and the thirtytwo graphically depicted outcrop sections make the volume valuable both in the laboratory and field. This refinement of the molluscan systematics clears up much of the confusion in nomenclature of Maryland and Virginia fossils.

4. The Megaflora from the Quantico Locality (Upper Albian), Lower Cretaceous Potomac Group of Virginia Garland R. Upchurch, Jr., Peter R. Crane, and Andrew N. Drinnan

The mid-Cretaceous Potomac Group of Virginia and Maryland preserves the best record of early flowering plant fossils in North America. The Potomac Group documents some of the earliest appearances of modern orders and families and illustrates the transition from an archaic Mesophytic flora dominated by ferns, cyadophytes, and conifers to a modern Cenophytic flora dominated by flowering plants and conifers.

This volume formally describes a mid-Cretaceous (Upper Albian) megaflora from the Quantico locality of Virginia. The Quantico flora contains horsetails, cycadophytes, conifers, and flowering plants that belong to a mixture of extinct and extant families. Three new species are described in this publication.

6. Systematics of the freshwater amphipod genus Crangonyx (Crangonyctidae) in North America Jun Zhang and John R. Holsinger

Freshwater amphipods abound in a wide range of habitats: from icy springs and cave streams to rivers, lakes and swamps, frequently in vast numbers as both primary consumers and a food resource for many larger predators. Species of the Holarctic genus Crangonyx exemplify this condition, as important elements in many aquatic ecosystems, and must be factored into studies of such communities and in the formulation of environmental management protocols.

This monographic revision, based on the examination of over 23,000 specimens, treats the classification, phylogeny, and distribution of the 42 North American species of this genus, 24 of them described as new. Structural details are copiously illustrated, locality records obtained from 2240 collections are represented on distribution maps, and computer-generated phylogenetic trees portray possible evolutionary tracks within Crangonyx.

Memoirs 7. Re-description and Revision of Smitts 'Floridan Bryozoa' in the Collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University.

Judith E. Winston

This monograph describes and updates the nomenclature and classification of the "Floridan Bryozoa" collected in 1862-69 by L. F. de Pourtalès and named by F. A. Smitt in 1872-73. This material, now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, includes specimens of 68 species, upon which (in addition to those recognized by Smitt), are based 15 new species and four new genera. Four new families are also proposed to accommodate the new taxa in the modern classification of this group.

All species are illustrated by large, detailed SEM images.

8. A New Species of Squalodon (Mammalia, Cetacea) from the Middle Miocene of Virginia Alton C. Dooley, Jr.

The large squalodontid whale Squalodon whitmorei is described from a nearly complete skeleton from the Calvert Formation (Middle Miocene), eastern Virginia.

The technical description of skeletal elements is preceded by a review of relevant taxonomic literature, and the conclusion drawn that the nominal genus Kellogia (Mchedlidze 1976) is a junior subjective synonym of Squalodon. The status of other names proposed for apparently related whales is also discussed; S. whitmorei appears to be most closely allied to S. barbarus (Mchedlidze) from Oligocene strata in Azerbaidzhan.

Excellent fossiliferous exposures of the Calvert, Choptank, and St. Marys Formations occur along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in Maryland and Virginia.

Stratigraphic cross-sections were constructed along the Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent, Potomac, and Rappahannock Rivers which allow correlation of the various beds from the Chesapeake Bay to the updip sections near Richmond, Virginia. The nomenclatural history of the Calvert, Choptank, and St. Marys and their members and beds is discussed and the units are redescribed. Stratotype localities are selected and correlation and age of the beds is documented.

10. Systematic Revision of the Northern Short-tailed Shrew, Blarina brevicauda (Say) Wm. David Webster, Nancy D. Moncrief, Jerry R. Choate, and Hugh H. Genoways

Short-tailed shrews, genus Blarina, are common inhabitants of a variety of terrestrial habitats in most of eastern North America. Of the 4 species currently recognized, the northern short-tailed shrew, Blarina brevicauda (Say, 1823), is the most widely distributed, occurring from southern Canada southward to the central Great Plains and the Appalachian Mountains into Georgia and Alabama and along the East Coast as far south as southeastern North Carolina. It has been more than 65 years since geographic variation within this species has been studied. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to examine geographic variation in Blarina brevicauda and to revise its intraspecific taxonomy as needed.

Mountain Lake Region and its Bird Life David W. Johnston

Mountain Lake, its nearby virgin forests, northern bogs, and crystal-clear streams attracted explorers, naturalists, and ornithologists since its discovery in 1751. The author found records of birds dating to 1885, and presents historical accounts of all birds observed in the region over the last century. Since 1930, summer teaching and research programs at the Mountain Lake Biological Station have added to our knowledge of the region's natural history.

This book includes historical accounts of bird life, forest, and people as they've changed through the years. This is the first book devoted soley to Virginia birds published in over 80 years.
