IntroductionThis paper presents results of a recent (1997–1999) survey of terrestrial arthropods ofMidway Atoll and lists 546 species identified from 1891 to 1999. The last published com-pilation (Suehiro, 1960) listed 221 species, and the first complete listing from the 1923Tanager Expedition published 38 species (Bryan et al., 1926). The increasing number ofarthropod species reflected in these surveys is likely related to the increase in plant speciespresent, increased contact between Midway and the outside world by means of surfaceand air vessels, and increased effort on the part of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service toinventory the arthropod fauna. The percentage of the fauna composed of native species(17%) is small and some of these species were not recollected during the present survey.Also, a large number (33%) of historically recorded alien species were not recollected.More recently introduced immigrants may have displaced some of them. The present listincludes 205 new island records from Midway including 29 new records for the Hawaiianarchipelago. Continued introductions resulting from frequent visits to Midway by unin-spected air and surface vessels will result in serious pest problems there. Some observa-tions are included on insects now present on Midway that may become serious pests ifintroduced to the main Hawaiian islands. Two species in particular, Protaetia pryeri(Janson) and Scudderia paronae Griffini should be monitored. Other concerns that shouldbe addressed include ants, vespid wasps, and soil arthropods. A full bibliography ofMidway terrestrial arthropod references is also included.

Midway is located approximately 1200 miles northwest of Honolulu and is the sec-ond oldest (28.7 ma) emergent atoll in the Hawaiian Archipelago.

In 1997, administration of Midway Atoll was transferred from the U.S. Navy to theU.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS). The USFWS, as part of an initial biologicalassessment of the atoll, and the Hawaii Biological Survey (HBS) at Bishop Museum sup-ported 6 field trips to Midway to survey the terrestrial arthropod fauna. The trips weremade on the following dates: 12–19 February 1997, 11–18 May 1997, 27 August–2September 1997, 14–21 December 1997, 29 April–6 May 1998, and 20–23 October 1999.Additional material was collected with the assistance of USFWS personnel on Midway,who periodically serviced a Malaise trap in operation for an entire year. Specimens accu-mulated during this survey were returned to Bishop Museum in Honolulu for curatorialservices and identification.

Historical BackgroundRelatively few entomologists have ever visited Midway and collections from that atoll areuncommon. The survey reported here has amassed the largest amount of Midway arthro-pod material ever accumulated. The earliest documented record of insect collecting onMidway is that of Henry Palmer in 1890, where insects were collected incidental to a bird

survey. Several specimens from that collection were reported by Rothschild (1894). Thefirst comprehensive survey for Midway arthropods was conducted in 1923 by the TanagerExpedition (Bryan et al., 1926). The results of that survey listed 38 species of insects in12 orders. Suehiro (1960) published a list of 221 species of arthropods in 20 orders basedmainly on collections made by C.F. Clagg, E.J. Ford, Jr., and Y. Oshiro during the 1950s,but also including earlier records from the atoll. J.C. Downey et al., the Pacific BiologicalSurvey, and the Smithsonian Institution engaged in exhaustive surveys of seabird para-sites from 1959 to 1969. Those surveys resulted in an updated list of Pthiraptera (lice),increasing the number of Midway species from 4 (Suehiro, 1960) to 42 (Keler, 1958;Ward & Downey, 1973). We here report 546 species in 25 orders, a 147% increase inspecies representation as compared to the Suehiro list.

From 1936–1942, F.C. Hadden was stationed at Midway as a plant quarantineinspector for aircraft flights that used Midway as a refueling station (Hadden, 1941).Hadden concentrated on species intercepted on aircraft. For the most part, the speciesintercepted by Hadden did not become established on Midway, and they are not includedhere. Hadden’s Midway quarantine collection is maintained at the Bishop Museum.

A list of the known collectors of insects and related arthropods on Midway and thedates of their collections is given in Table 1. An annotated chronology of documentedinsect collecting is found in Appendix 3. Additional specimens may reside elsewhere, assome unidentified U.S. Navy personnel may have also collected on Midway.

Field Methods and EquipmentArthropods were collected on Midway using the following methods and equipment:Hand collecting. Plant foliage was scanned for both mobile and sessile specimens; loosebark, decomposing wood and leaf litter were searched; stones and debris of various sortswere moved for examination of the substrate beneath. This method was also employed atnight assisted by a headlamp.

Aerial netting. Flying individuals were netted in the air with a fine mesh insect net, or bysweeping with the net over plants or substrate, or by stalking individuals resting on perch-es. Disturbed individuals that fell or were knocked to the ground were picked up manual-ly.

Plant beating. Stout canvas beating net or a canvas collecting sheet and beating stick wereused to strike plant foliage to dislodge arthropod specimens. These were then aspiratedwith a hand-held aspirator, or hand picked, and placed in collecting vials. This methodwas also employed at night.

Malaise trapping. A Malaise trap, a fine mesh trap designed to intercept flying insects andcause them to crawl upward on the trap surface into collecting chambers, was set up atfavorable locations where it was serviced periodically to remove accumulated specimensand refresh the killing agent. The trap was operated at several localities on Midway overa one-year period. Excellent collections were obtained by this method; several speciestaken in the Malaise trap were not taken by any other method.

Trapping with attractive yellow surfaces. Yellow pan trapping was attempted. These trapsare yellow-colored containers partly filled with water plus a surfactant, which serves todrown flying insects that are attracted to and attempt to land on the yellow surface. Thesetraps were not effective on Midway when albatrosses were present. Virtually all the trapswere overturned or filled with debris by the bird’s activities; the technique subsequentlywas abandoned. The use of yellow sticky traps also was attempted. These traps are yellowcards covered with an adhesive substance and employ the same attractive principal as thepan traps. Because of concern that small birds might become stuck to these cards, thismethod also was abandoned. Eventually, a modified yellow window trap (a yellow clothsaturated with a pyrethroid insecticide in a partly closed container, with a collecting con-tainer beneath the cloth) was developed and proved serviceable.

Pitfall trapping. Pitfall traps consist of a baited container placed in a hole in the groundwith the mouth of the container at ground level to collect crawling species. A dozen trapswere set out on Midway but did not prove to be very effective. Their effectiveness waslikely affected by the presence of high numbers of ants.

Tullgren funnel extraction. This device uses heat (usually provided by an incandescentlight bulb) to extract small arthropods from soil, leaf-litter or similar material. As the sub-strate sample slowly dries downward from the top near the heat source, arthropodsmigrate downward into a collecting device at the bottom of the funnel. On Midway,Tullgren extractions from litter and soil yielded numerous mites, Collembola, and the like.

UV light collecting. Many nocturnally active arthropods are attracted to ultraviolet light.At suitable times, a white sheet was set up as a reflector and a landing site, and a portableUV lamp was used to attract insects, which were then hand picked from the sheet.

Laboratory ProceduresSpecimens collected on Midway were taken to Bishop Museum in Honolulu where select-ed samples were sorted and labeled for dispersal to both intramural and extramural spe-cialists. Some material was pin or point mounted, labeled, and presorted prior to disper-sal, other material was dispersed in fluid (usually 70% ethyl alcohol). Identified speci-mens returned by specialists were given an identifying number and the data were addedto a computerized database of Hawaiian terrestrial arthropod species maintained by theMuseum. Unprocessed residues from the Malaise trap collections are maintained in fluidfor long-term storage and future study. The voucher specimens for all species listed in thecurrent survey and the unprocessed remainder are deposited with the Hawaii BiologicalSurvey at Bishop Museum.

Results and DiscussionA full list of species identified from Midway, from 1891 to the present, is given inAppendix 1. The list, arranged alphabetically by order, family, and scientific name, pro-vides common names if these are available, indicates the residency status, and furnishesinformation regarding year of collection. Following this are four columns that give thecollection status of the species.

Tables 2 and 3 summarize the information detailed in Appendix 1, according to insectorder, or, for other arthropods, a larger group (e.g.: acari or mites). Table 2 shows thatabout 7.5% of the fauna (41 species) are endemic. Several of these, known only fromMidway and that have not been seen for decades, may be extinct (e.g.: Agrotis fasciata(Rothschild)). Only 9% (50 species, mostly migratory bird parasites) are indigenous.

Although 30 species are listed in Appendix 1 as having been purposely introducedinto the Hawaiian Archipelago, there are no published records of purposeful introductionsinto Midway for biological control of pests, or otherwise. These species are listed in theappendix as “p/adv”, although some of them may have been brought purposely to Midwayby entomologists or others without the introduction being recorded in the entomologicalliterature. In total, 455 species (83%) of the Midway arthropod fauna are considered to beadventive (accidentally introduced during historic times). This large proportion of alienspecies is not unexpected, as Midway has long been a center of human activity, includingfrequent visits by both surface vessels and aircraft, during its 142 years of recorded his-tory. Human activity at Midway is summarized in Appendix 2.

Table 3 summarizes all known records of terrestrial arthropods reported fromMidway. The first column is the total number of species reported for that particular group.The total includes literature and specimen records. The second column lists the number ofspecies within the group collected during this survey. The third column lists the numberof new island records for the group. Likewise, the fourth column lists the number of newstate (or archipelago) records. The fifth column is the number of species listed previous-ly that were recollected on this project. The sixth column lists those on the literature listthat were not recollected during the course of this project. The seventh column indicatesnumbers of species that have yet to be verified as to presence or absence or those that werenot sought for this project. For example, species parasitic on vertebrates, the lice and someof the parasitic mites, were not collected because earlier works including Keler (1958),Ward & Downey (1973), and others were considered quite thorough. Still requiring veri-fication are the springtails (Collembola), some of the flies (Diptera), some moths (Lepid-optera), the barklice (Psocoptera), and the thrips (Thysanoptera); their listed numbers areasterisked.

The total number of species known from Midway (546) includes both historicalrecords and those obtained from the 1997–1999 survey. The number of these species nowactually present probably is considerably less than 546. The number of species obtainedfrom all literature sources prior to the initiation of the present survey was 332. Of those,only 121 have so far been identified from the 1997–1999 material, and 72 of the speciesdefinitely were not recollected.

The number of species so far identified from the 1997–1999 survey is 331. Another88 species recorded from Midway are members of ectoparasitic groups considered to bewell documented in relatively recent publications and were not sought in the present sur-vey. The sum of these 2 figures (419) gives an approximation of the number of identifiedspecies presently established on the atoll. Of the 331 species from the 1997–1999 surveyso far identified, 176 (53%) are new island records for Midway, and 29 (9%) are new staterecords based on this project, a total of 62% of the known established species. Sixty-twopercent is a remarkably high number of new records, and is probably a result of a rela-tively high rate of arthropod immigration to Midway in combination with a relativelyincomplete knowledge of the fauna.

The data of Appendix 1 show that the Midway fauna does not reflect normal repre-sentation of major arthropod groups found in continental assemblages. Many insect ordersare not represented on Midway, particularly those associated with fresh water habitats.The Hymenoptera, especially the parasitoid groups, are more strongly represented than

expected, although this may represent more efficient collecting of these minute arthropodson Midway than is normally achieved in continental survey collections.

The identification of the collections made during the 1997-99 Midway survey is notcomplete, and perhaps a more accurate assessment of the faunal composition than onebased simply on available identifications would be one based on those groups that arepresently the most completely identified: the Coleoptera (beetles), the Homoptera (aphids,scales and relatives), the Hymenoptera (bees and wasps), and the Araneae (spiders). Ofthe 57 species of beetles collected in this survey, 34 (60%) are new to Midway. Of the 18spiders collected during this survey, a remarkable 72% (13) are new island records. Of the38 species of scales and their relatives, 28 (74%) are new island records. Of the 99 speciesof bees and wasps collected, 74 (75%) are new island records. These figures confirm avery high rate of introduction and establishment of terrestrial arthropods on Midway.

Forty-four of the 546 species listed from Midway do not occur in the main HawaiianIslands. Five of the 44 are endemic and about 20 are indigenous species reported onlyfrom Midway, leaving about 19 native species not represented in those more southernislands. Add that to about 16 new archipelago records (29 are listed, but 13 of those alsooccur in the southern islands) and that totals about 35 species that potentially could beintroduced into the southern part of the archipelago from Midway.

The recollection rate of native species was disappointing. Of the 4 endemic beetles

listed, 1 is a new record and potentially endemic, the other 3, previously recorded, werenot recollected. Though not completely studied, interim results from the bugs and mothsalso suggest an impact on the native fauna. Of the 4 previously listed native seed bugs,only 2 were recollected. Of the 3 native moths, only 1 has been identified as recollected.These native species may still exist and their absence may be a result of exceptionally lowpopulation numbers or may just be a factor of chance in collecting. However, the consis-tency of non-collection among all groups suggests at the very least, the reduction of thepresence of native species on Midway.

A disproportionate number of general predators and parasitic wasps occur on a rela-tively meager host base. For example, 13 ladybird beetles (coccinellids), were collectedon the atoll, all are purposely introduced to the southern islands. Seven of the 13 are newisland records for Midway. The total is 17% of the total number of beetles on Midway,and also 16% of all the coccinellids reported for all of Hawai‘i. Of 80 parasitic wasps, 11were purposely introduced to the southern islands, but perhaps more significantly, 62 arenew island records. This level of representation of predators and parasites was unexpect-ed and suggests that a program of introduction of species for biological control of pestspecies took place; however, the existence of such a program is not documented.

Ants are an unfortunate major, ubiquitous component of the Midway ecosystem. Insome places, particularly Eastern Island, ants dominate. They are undoubtedly a majordisruptive force on what remains of the native ecosystem there, and could become animpediment to the reestablishment of native plants. Ants have been observed tendingaphids, scales, and other sap-feeding species on Midway. In so doing, they probablyreduce the effectiveness of parasites and predators on these pests, allowing populations ofthe pests to increase significantly. Ants are sometimes so numerous on Midway that nest-ing birds may be covered with them, apparently causing aggravation, a situation weobserved several times during this survey. The effect of ants on nesting birds has not beenstudied on Midway, but is believed to be significantly detrimental.

Vespid wasps are another apparent problem on Midway. Many vespids are extreme-ly efficient predators of caterpillars. The moth fauna of Midway is not only representedby relatively few species, but also appeared to be at low population levels during this sur-vey. Night collecting using an ultraviolet light and a sheet was relatively unproductivecompared to other localities in Hawai‘i. Despite diligent attention to the sheet, a disap-pointing low number (21) of moth species were collected on Midway and, except for afew very common alien forms, most of the species were represented by only a few indi-viduals. Of 27 species listed prior to this survey, only 13 (48%) were recollected. Windyconditions may have limited nocturnal moth activity during periods when night surveycollections were made. However, the very visible presence of hunting vespid wasps dur-ing the day suggests that these exerted a significant amount of predation pressure on lar-val Lepidoptera on Midway.

Of the Midway insect fauna presently known, two alien species, Protaetia pryeri(Janson), and Scudderia paronae Griffini, potentially could cause problems if introducedinto the larger southeastern Hawaiian Islands. Protaetia pryeri (the emerald beetle) is alarge, brilliantly colored scarab that was described from the Ryukyu Islands (Janson,1888). Its habits there are unknown. On Midway, adults of the emerald beetle emergefrom the soil as early as late April and a few stragglers remain through December. Peakemergence is during the late spring and early summer. The grubs live in the soil, wherethey feed on organic debris and possibly roots. The adults have been reported to feed on

plant foliage, fruits, and flowers in Midway gardens. Concentration of grubs seemedhighest in areas of ironwood (Casuarina) although they were also collected under naupa-ka (Scaevola) and other plants. Ruddy turnstones (Arenaria interpres), bristle-thighedcurlews (Numenius tahitiensis), and kolea or Pacific golden-plovers (Pluvialis fulva) wereobserved feeding on the grubs.

The katydid, Scudderia paronae, was observed feeding heavily on the growing tipsof naupaka (Scaevola), especially on Eastern Island, creating distorted leaves and proba-bly stunting growth of the plants. Naupaka may be an alternate host for this insect as itwas most often seen in association with Verbesina. When the observation of naupakafeeding was made, Verbesina had mostly died back on Eastern Island and new growth hadnot yet appeared. S. paronae was first reported in the Hawaiian Islands from Kure Atollin 1982 on Eragrostis (Conant 1985), suggesting that the species may be a generalizedherbivore. Midway is a new island record for this species, although it might have estab-lished itself on Midway first and been overlooked before it migrated to Kure. In any case,it appears the species can disperse readily, and potentially could move to the other islandsof Hawai‘i.

Twenty of the 63 mite species identified to date are new island records; 7 of these arenew state records. Most of the mites were found associated with soil. Hadden (1941) esti-mated that 9,000 tons of soil were brought to Midway from Honolulu during the time heresided on the atoll. Though the exact origin of the soil is unknown, a significant portionof the resident mites probably were transported to Midway by this means. However,results of this survey indicate that about 1/3 of the species reported from Midway do notoccur in the southern Hawaiian archipelago and could be accidentally transported there.

Numbers of Arthropod Species Relative to the Number of Plant SpeciesAn atoll such as Midway would ordinarily have a paucity of available niches. This isreflected in the Tanager Expedition collections from 1921, which collected only 38species of arthropods. The number of species expanded to 221 by 1960. The number ofniches available was artificially expanded by the purposeful introduction of plants forwindbreaks, food, and aesthetic purposes. Other plants were accidentally introduced andbecame established. Availability of diverse plant species, combined with ease of migra-tion, permitted the establishment of herbivores and their associated predators and para-sites and probably fostered the presence of detritivores. The number of arthropod speciesparallels the increase in plant species (see Figure 1). For example, W.A. Bryan reported11 species of plants in 1902. The Tanager Expedition in 1923 reported 23 species of plantsand 38 species of arthropods. Prior to 1923, the cable station already had been introduc-ing plants to Midway. Hadden listed 54 cultivated plants in 1941, bringing the plant totalto 77 species. In 1960, Suehiro reported 221 arthropod species. In 1998, Bruegmann list-ed 265 species of plants of which 35 were not recollected, a total of 230 resident plants.This survey reports 546 species of arthropods, of which 72 were definitely not recollect-ed, a total of 474 species. Some of the uncollected arthropods may have been associatedwith the non-recollected plants. As many of the alien plant species are likely relativelyrecently introduced, they provide new opportunities for colonization. Howarth (1985) firstdescribed this phenomenon and used examples from the main Hawaiian Islands. Thus thenumber of potential new species of arthropods eventually becoming established onMidway is quite high.

Appendix 3. Chronology Of Insect Collecting And Biological Introductions On Midway

1890 July 13–16. Moths observed and collected by the ornithologists, HenryPalmer and George C. Munro. Laysan rails are released on Eastern I. July 17. Spiders noted to be “in good variety”. Two moths were captured.The “skineating beetle is scarce but small blue blow flies are very numer-ous and very tame.”

1894 First insect from Midway, Peridroma fasciata described by W. Rothschild.1900 August 21. W.A. Bryan arrived for a few hours and made some observa-

tions and collected some plants. He noted that Sand Island is barren, cov-ered with dunes with but a few hardy shrubs and grasses on the top of mostof the dunes. Eastern was “clothed in green down to the beach.” “The mostimportant plants determined for Midway are: Cenchrus calyculatus Cav.,Boerhaavia tetrandra Forst., a variety near Lepidium oahuensis Chan. I.Schl., Capparis sandwichiana DC., Ipomoea insularis Stend., Scaevolakoenigii Vahl., Tribulus cistoides Linn., and Eragrostis cynosuroides(Retz). In addition to the above are three widely distributed beach plants,two of which are grasses that are as yet undetermined.” This is followed bya list of birds collected.

1905 G.P. Wilder took a few insects.1905–1921 D. Morrison of the Cable Station imported the grass, Ammophila arenaria

from beaches near San Francisco, set out ironwood trees, Casuarina equi-setifolia, as windbreaks, and numerous other kinds of ornamental and use-ful trees, shrubs, and herbs. Shiploads of soil were brought from Honoluluand used for gardens and other plant growth. He also imported canary birdsand Laysan finches in 1906 and fostered the flightless rails that had beenintroduced from Laysan.

1923 The Tanager expedition [with D.T. Fullaway] obtained a few specimensfrom Midway. Dr. D.R. Chisholm, the resident physician at the CableStation and others added notes and plant specimens.

1923 Fullaway visited Eastern Island and noted a fringe of Scaevola with cen-tral open space. A grove of ironwood occupied the eastern end, and a herdof donkeys lived on the island. In contrast, Sand Island was reclaimed withsoil from Honolulu and planted to trees and gardens.

1931 December. Dr. Chisholm collected additional plants, including ornamentaltrees and weeds that were excluded in the earlier plant collections.

1935 F.C. Hadden stationed on Midway on November 24, 1936. His duty was toinspect and fumigate the clipper planes going in both directions. About 200insect species were intercepted on planes arriving on Midway. Most planescame from Honolulu, Wake, Guam, Manila or Hong Kong.

1938–1940 F.A. Bianchi took 3 short successive yearly visits to Midway, concentrat-ing on aphids and thrips.

1942 Jan. 12: F.C. Hadden left Midway.1956–1958 C.F. Clagg with U.S. Naval District Public Works & Yoshio Oshiro, a con-

struction worker with Hawaiian Dredging Company, brought numerousspecimens from Midway.
