The Protura (Insecta) of the Seychelles
Authors: Tuxen S.L. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBaculentulus tatuoi (Imadaté, 1965) was recorded from the Seychelles by Condé (1976). In this paper seven more species are added: Eosentomon subnudum n.sp., E. microphthalmus n.sp., E. insularum Tuxen, E. wygodzinskyi Bon., Silvestridia hutan Imad., Gracilentulus kenyanus (Condé) and Baculentulus seychellensis n.sp. Keys are given to the known Seychellan species and also to the five species belonging to Gracilentulus having a very small foretarsal sensilla b viz. kenyanus Condé, malaysiensis Imad., japonicus Imad., sakimori Imad. and condei Prabhoo. The acerentomoid fauna of the Seychelles shows a distinct Madecassan-Indian affinity and may have a Late Cretaceous Gondwanian origin, whereas two Eosentomon species have affinities with the Pacific fauna (wygodzinskyi and insularum) and two are aberrant endemisms (subnudum and microphthalmus n.spp.).

Authors: Andersson Hugo 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA short biography of Oscar Ringdahl (1885-1966) is given together with a complete bibliography of his zoological papers. He published 258 new specific or subspecific names and described 43 new genera or subgenera within Diptera Brachycera, especially in the families Muscidae, Anthomyiidae, Tachinidae, Scatophagidae, Syrphidae and Dolichopodidae. At present about 185 of these names are considered to be valid. A list of the taxa named by Ringdahl and their present status is given.
New species of Hydrellia reared from aquatic macrophytes in Pakistan (Diptera: Ephydridae)
Authors: Deonier D.L. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractFive new species of Hydrellia are described and illustrated from adult specimens which were reared from aquatic macrophytes at the Commonwealth Inst. of Biol. Control in Pakistan. Hydrellia ghanii, new species, reared from Potamogeton crispus Linn., P. perfoliatus Linn., and Vallisneria spiralis Linn., is similar in its wide genae to H. argyrogenis Becker. Hydrellia laffooni, new species, reared from P. perfoliatus Linn., and H. pakistanae, new species, reared from Hydrilla verticillata (Linn.) Royle have uncertain affinities. The new species H. indicae and H. warsakensis, reared respectively from Potamogeton indicus Roxb. and Vallisneria spiralis Linn., are in the H. geniculata species group.
Melanistic forms of Calathus melanocephalus L. in Iceland (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
Authors: Lindroth Carl H. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractCalathus melanocephalus is always more or less melanistic in Iceland. Tests were carried out to determine whether the degree of melanism was causally correlated with weather conditions during the immature stages. Samples from the same area collected in different months and years were compared. The correlation betweeen melanism and weather was slight, or even absent. A comparison of samples from different parts of Iceland showed a clear predominance of pale individuals in the east. This can only be explained as being due to genetic differences between populations.
The status of Paykull's Curculio fuscirostris (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Clark Wayne E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAlthough Paykull cited Fabricius as author of the name Curculio fuscirostris, several authors have wrongly attributed the name to Paykull, listing it as a synonym of Tychius picirostris (Fabricius) or T. stephensi Schönherr. Paykull's usage, however, was based on a misidentification, so Paykull cannot be cited as author, nor can the name replace any currently in use in Tychius.

Morphology of preadult stages of Laelaps agilis Koch, 1836 with notes on life history and feeding habits (Acari/Mesostigmata: Laelapidae)
Authors: Solomon Libertina , Edler Anders 
Published: July 2010

AbstractLaelaps agilis C. L. Koch, 1836 is an abundant ectoparasite on Apodemus spp. It has 5 stages: egg, larva, protonymph, deutonymph, and adult male and female. All preadult stages from egg to deutonymph are described and illustrated. Because of the structure of the chelicera it seems likely that L. agilis feeds at abraded areas of the skin. All active stages but the larva feed. Unfed females can produce progeny, but will die within 22 days. Egg to adult is 10 days for males and 13 days for females kept at 90 % RH and 30°C.

A revision of the millipede genus Nopoiulus (Diplopoda, Julida: Blaniulidae)
Authors: Shelley Rowland M. , Enghoff Henrik 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genus Nopoiulus is revised. Four species are recognized: minutus (Brandt, 1841), kochii (Gervais, 1847), breuili Brölemann, 1921, and anatolicus Lohmander, 1939. A key to the species is presented, and the gonopods and vulvae of minutus are described for the first time. This species is remarkable for its apparent parthenogenesis (males extremely rare) and for possibly being endemic to North America. The nomenclature of kochii is discussed.

A cladistic analysis of the Holarctic genera of adelid moths (Lepidoptera: Incur varoidea)
Authors: Schmidt Nielsen Ebbe 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA preliminary cladistic-phylogenetic analysis of the four Holarctic genera of Adelidae recognized is presented. The monophyly of the superfamily Incurvarioidea is demonstrated on the basis of three possible synapomorphies, and that of the family Adelidae on the basis of three others. The subgenus Cauchas Zeller, 1839 is given generic status, as it is demonstrated to represent the sister-group of Nemophora Illiger & Hoffmannsegg, 1798 and Adela Latreille, 1796. Chalceopla Braun, 1921 is a new synonym of Cauchas Zeller, 1839. A key to the genera, based on males, is given.

Sphegina clavata (Scopoli) is recognized as the senior synonym for nigra Meigen and verecunda Collin.
On the origin of the bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Sphecidae)
Authors: Lomholdt Ole 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe bees are best to be regarded as a specialized subgroup of the superfamily Sphecoidea, and a cladistic analysis results in accepting the "Sphecidae" as being paraphyletic in terms of the bees. The Sphecoidea is distinguished by three strong synapomorphic traits, and it is demonstrated that the bees share at least two apomorphic characters with the "higher" sphecids, leaving the Sphecinae + the Ampulicinae as the least specialized members of the complex. The Sphecoidea is suggested to include the following families, of which the two first constitute the "Sphecidae" of earlier authors, viz. 1) Sphecidae (Sphecinae + Ampulicinae), 2) Larridae (remaining sphecid subfamilies), and 3) Apidae.
The life history of Caurinus dectes Russell, with a description of the immature stages (Mecoptera: Boreidae)
Authors: Russell Loren K. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe egg, larva, and pupa of Caurinus dectes are described and illustrated. Eggs are ellipsoidal, coated with black cement, and are attached to bryophytes. The larva is orthosomatic, with much-reduced thoracic legs, and further differs from other larval Boreidae in: amphipneustic spiracles, number of stemmata (7), placoid sensilla present in membrane of first antennal segment, and egg burster on frons in first instar. Three larval instars are recognized from analysis of head measurements and partial rearing. Larvae feed in stemmines or galleries in leafy liverworts (Jungermanniales). Pupation occurs in a silk-lined cell or cocoon, otherwise unknown in the Mecoptera; the pupa is exarate, with decticous mandibles. The seasonal occurrence of egg eclosion (February-March), pupation (July-August), and principal adult activity (October-April) is typical for the Boreidae, but only C. dectes is univoltine in this family. Successive annual generations appear to overlap through extended egg diapause and adult perenniation.
The metamorphosis of Symposiocladius lignicola (Kieffer) n.gen., n.comb., a wood-mining Chironomidae (Diptera)
Authors: Cranston P.S. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe female and larva are described and the male and pupa redescribed for Orthocladius lignicola Kieffer. A lectotype is designated for a pupa belonging to the syntypic series. O. tryoni Soponis, 1977 is synonymized with O. lignicola. A new genus, Symposiocladius, is erected for the species, and a systematic placement close to Orthocladius, Synorthcladius and Stackelbergina is postulated. The larval habit of mining in submerged wood is discussed in relation to a brief review of previous records.

Published: July 2010

AbstractThree species of the genus Eriosoma have been found to have host alternation between Ulmus and Ribes, viz. E. (Schizoneura) ulmi (L.), E. (S.) grossulariae (Schüle) and E. (S.) anncharlotteae Danielsson. The different morphs of the first two species are described and morphometric tables are given to show the variation of certain characters. Keys are given to apterous and alate viviparae of the three species. The hostplant preferences of the different species have been investigated and the more important papers on the biology and morphology of this species complex are reviewed.
Distribution of leg sensilla chaetica in male Chironomidae (Diptera) and its phylogenetic significance
Authors: Sawedal Lars 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe hair-like sense organs found on the tarsomeres in Chironomidae can be classified as sensilla chaetica (SCh). They are of three different types and there are indications on the presence of a fourth type. SCh are present in many groups of insects but the particular shape of their tips in one of the types developed within the Chironomidae seems to be unique. They are present in males of all subfamilies except Aphroteniinae and Telmatogetoninae. Within the different evolutionary lines two trends are found in the distribution of the studied type of SCh: (1) In the plesiomorph taxa SCh are found on P2 while in the more apomorphic ones they are found on P2 and P3 or only on P3. (2) The position of the SCh tends to move from a basal position in the plesiomorphic taxa towards a more apical position in the more apomorphic taxa. These two trends are found in several evolutionary lines. This tendency for a parallel development restricts the phylogenetic use of these trends to taxa already delimited by synapomorphies.
Morphology and specific status of Bombus lapponicus (Fabricius) and B. monticola Smith (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Authors: Pekkarinen Antti 
Published: July 2010

AbstractFor the taxonomic distinction of Bombus lapponicus (Fabricius, 1973) and B. monticola Smith, 1849, sensu Svensson 1979, suitable differences were observed in measurements of mouthparts, position of ocelli and male genitalia, but no taxonomic difference was observed in the shape of sting sheaths in queens. These two forms have a wide sympatric range in Scandinavia and the present results support the recent suggestion that B. lapponicus auctt. includes two closely related species in Fennoscandia.
