On the systematic position of the genus Eriocottis Zeller, 1847, with remarks on the phylogeny of primitive Tineoidea (Lepidoptera)
Authors: Schmidt Nielsen E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractEriocottis, the type-genus of Eriocottinae Spuler, 1898, hitherto placed in Incurvarioidea, is redescribed and shown to possess ditryse female genitalia, and is allocated to Tineoidea. Based on two synapomorphies, the Eriocottinae, Deuterotinea Spuler, 1901 (Deuterotineidae), and Compsoctena Zeller, 1852 (Compsoctenidae), are demonstrated to constitute a monophyletic group and are given family rank, Eriocottidae. As this family shares one probable synapomorphy with the Psychidae, a sister-family relationship is suggested. The Eriocottidae are believed to represent one of the earliest evolutionary lines in Tineoidea. A classification of taxa above species level is presented; this divides the Eriocottidae into two subfamilies: Eriocottinae and Compsocteninae. Cronodoxa Meyrick, 1922, is a new synonym of Deuterotinea Spuler, 1901. The Atychidae are assigned to Sesioidea.

Electronic data processing in systematic collections
Authors: Gautier T. Gary 
Published: July 2010

AbstractEDP can provide a collection with better specimen documentation, complete cross-indexes and rapid information retrieval and reporting capabilities. EDP costs vary widely with the circumstances and objectives of a project but are now within the reach of most collections. Considering its profound impact on the value of a collection, EDP is a bargain compared to other areas of cost in the collections.- Installation of EDP requires a review of procedures, a statement of objectives, reorganization of the current system and establishment of rigorous standards, so it also requires a strong committment in order to succeed. A trusted staff member with authority and EDP potential should be put in charge, and at least one collection already using EDP should be visited.
The male accessory glands in Bruchidae (Coleoptera) and their taxonomic significance
Authors: Singh Tarlok 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe male accessory glands of 39 Indian species of nine bruchid genera have been studied. The glands are of both ectadenial and mesadenial origin and vary from 2 to 5 pairs in different genera. There are 2 pairs in Spermophagus, 3 in Bruchus and Caryedon, 4 in Conichobruchus, Bruchidius, Sulcobruchus, and Zabrotes and 5 pairs in Specularius. In Callosobruchus they vary from 4 to 5 pairs. The number, shape and structure of these glands provide useful taxonomic characters at generic and specific level. A key to the species based on the accessory glands is provided.

On the taxonomy of some West European and Macaronesian Heterothops Stephens (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Authors: Israelson Gunnar 
Published: July 2010

AbstractSome important characters in Heterothops Stephens are treated: density of punctuation, chaetotaxy of the head and structure of aedeagus. Controversial taxa are critically compared which gives the following results: H. niger Kraatz is a subspecies of praevius Erichson, H. brunnipennis auct. from Sweden is not identical with H. brunnipennis Kiesenwetter but with H. minutus Wollaston from Madeira. Lectotypes are designated for H. brunnipennis and H. minutus. Macaronesian endemics are H. canariensis n.sp. (Canary Is.) and H. wollastoni n.sp. (Cape Verde Is.). Beside the species already mentioned also binotatus Gravenhorst, quadripunctulus Gravenhorst and dissimilis Gravenhorst are treated. All nine species are keyed.

Redescription of Micropsectra borealis (Kieffer, 1922) n.comb. (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Willassen Endre , Säwedal Lars 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe first description of the pupa of Micropsectra borealis (Kieffer, 1922) and a redescription of the imago ♂ is presented. The genus Oeklandia Kieffer, 1922 is synonymised with the genus Micropsectra Kieffer, 1909. The possible synonymy between Oeklandia and the genus Himatendipes Tokunaga, 1959 is indicated. Together with M. coracina (to be treated in a future paper by the senior author) and the atrofasciata-bidentata-group, the species form a monophyletic group within the genus Micropsectra. The pupa of M. borealis shows great variation in the number of lateral setae on the margin of the segments. Often the numbers differ between the two sides of the segment, a state of character not previously reported from the Tanytarsini. The ecology of M. borealis is discussed.

Taxonomical studies on some genera and species of Platygastrinae (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupoidea)
Authors: Huggert Lars 
Published: July 2010

AbstractDisynopeas Kieffer is regarded as a new synonym to Metanopedias Brues, M. britannicus D. Jackson is conspecific to M. lasiopterae (Kieffer) and thus has to be dropped. Parallelogaster with the type-species P. compressiventris (Ashmead) and Cylindrogaster with the type-species P. tubulosa Brues are established as new subgenera of Platygaster Latreílle. For the genus Gastrotrypes Brues the new tribe Gastrotrypini is established. The two species G. spatulatus Brues and G. caudatus Brues are discussed and Synopeas hungaricus Fabritius is regarded as a new synonym to the latter species. Leptacis tipulae (Kirby) is redescribed and L. scutellaris (Nees) and L. scutellaris Thomson are regarded as its junior synonyms. L. torispinula n.sp. from Austria, Germany, Yugoslavia and Sweden and the remarkable species Platygaster stylatus n.sp. from Burma are discribed. M. lasiopterae, P. (C.) tubulosa, Leptacis? n.sp. Leptacis n.sp. Leptacis torispinula n.sp. and a Synopeas? n.sp. were found mainly on oak logs, where at least the first three species were seen ovipositing into the vascular ducts of the wood. These ducts were inhabited by the gall midge Ledomyia lugens Kieffer. For G. spatulatus and G. caudatus, the host midge is still unknown, but in the Netherlands the gall midge Xylodiplosis praecox (Winnertz) was reared from oakwood on which G. spatulatus had been ovipositing, but no parasites emerged.
Cauchas breviantennella n.sp. from NW Europe and C. brunnella n.sp. from Uzbekistan, with a check-list of the Palaearctic Cauchas species (Lepidoptera: Adelidae)
Authors: Johansson Roland , Schmidt Nielsen Ebbe 
Published: July 2010

AbstractC. breviantennella n.sp. is described and figured from material collected in the northernmost parts of Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula. Earlier is has been mistaken for Adela rufifrontella Tr. from which it easily is separated by its genitalia. C. brunnella n.sp. is known from its holotype only. Superficially it resembles C. leucocerella and albiantennella. A synonymic check list of the Palaearctic species currently referred to Cauchas is given and two new combinations are established, Nemophora canalella (Eversmann) and Nemophora infantella (Erschoff).
A revisionary study of the taxon Cillenus Samouelle, 1819 and related forms (Coeloptera: Carabidae, Bembidiini)
Authors: Lindroth Carl H. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe 23 species of Bembidiini revised in this paper were earlier referred variously to subgenus (or genus) Cillenus Sam. or to closely allied taxa. It is shown that the five New Zealand species are taxonomically quite isolated and different from Bembidion; for these the new genus Zecillenus was erected. All remaining species are true members of genus Bembidion belonging to five different subgenera, all previously named. Subgenus Desarmatocillenus Netolitzky contains 13 species distributed from Tasmania to Japan; three other subgenera are restricted to China, Formosa and Japan, respectively. The single European species, B. laterale Samouelle, constitutes subgenus Cillenus s. str.—Six species, Zecillenus embersoni and 5 Bembidion, adelaideae, foochowense, hebridarum, kasaharai, seticorne, are described as new.—None of the subgenera shows clear affinities to any other subgenus of Bembidion. This was judged primarily on the structures of the internal sac of penis.
The problem of old names as illustrated by Brachyopa "conica Panzer", with a synopsis of Palaearctic Brachyopa Meigen (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Authors: Thompson F. Christian 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBrachyopn conica Panzer is a name that appears commonly in works on European Syrphidae. The name is invalid and has been incorrectly applied to at least three different species. The valid name for this species is panzeri Goffe and applies to an as yet unrecognized species. The occurrence and solution of similar taxonomic and nomenclatural problems are discussed. A key to the Palaearctic species of Brachyopa is given. Brachyopa maculipennis Thompson, nov. nomen, is proposed for arcuata Panzer.

Also the difference between male and female and correlation with size within each post-larval stadium are given. The boundary between juvenile and adult stadia and the number of post-larval stadia are discussed.
The female Aha evansi Menke, 1977 (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae, Larrinae)
Authors: Lomholdt Ole C. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAha-comprising two species endemic to Australia-was previously known from male specimens only. The female A. evensi Menke, 1977 is described here for the first time. The single specimen available originated from very near to the type-locality of the species. The female has the general habitus of Lyroda. -The following autapomorphic traits characterize the genus: 1) Dimorphic claws in both sexes (the outer claw is much enlarged while the inner claw is atrophied); 2) labiomaxillary complex compressed; 3) loss of vol sellar sclerite; 4) loss of aedeagal teeth; 5) pronotal collar with a strong median sulcus; 6) Media of fore wing diverges from M + Cu proximally to cu-a. The possesion of the following characters includes Aha in the Larrini: 1) Second submarginal cell receives both recurrent veins; 2) propodeal synsclerite elongate; 3) posterior propodeal face transversely carinate; 4) lateral ocelli deformed.
Melanism in the Peppered Moth Biston betularia (L.) in western Norway (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)
Authors: Andersen Trond , Bengtson Sven-Axel 
Published: July 2010

AbstractLight-trap samples of the Peppered Moth Biston betularia (L.) from the region of Bergen, western Norway, show that about 85-95 % of the individuals are non-melanic (typica) and of the melanics, the form insularia predominates over carbonaria which was found in six samples but in low frequencies (2-5 %) except in one locality (9 %). The darkest individuals, classified as carbonaria, have some white speckling on the forewings like the ancient carbonaria in Great Britain a hundred years ago. There was no clear pattern regarding the geographic distribution of melanism; the frequency of insularia possibly being higher in coastal and more oceanic localities. There is no clear evidence of industrial melanism although the highest frequency of carbonaria was found near the source of a local industrial pollution.

Cyclomorphosis in the furca of the winter active Collembola Hypogastrura socialis (Uzel)
Authors: Leinaas Hans Petter 
Published: July 2010

AbstractSeasonal change in the shape of the furca (cyclomorphosis) in H. socialis is described. During winter the fully grown juveniles have, in agreement with the description of the species, large teeth on the dens. However, in summer both juveniles and adults have much smaller teeth. The mucro becomes more heavily sclerotized in winter. Adult H. socialis fit the description of H. sahlbergi (Reuter); however, the type material of the latter differs slightly from adult H. socialis. Cyclomorphosis occurs during one moult in September-October and during another moult in May. The larger teeth in winter are suggested to be an adaptation to the jumping activity of H. socialis on the surface of the snow.
