The identity of Betulaphis brevipilosa Börner (Homoptera: Aphidoidea)
Authors: Heie Ole E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractStudies of material of Betlllaphis brevipilosa Börner, 1940, collected by Börner in 1939 and believed to be syntypes, have shown that the species called brevipilosa by Börner is the same taxon as B. quadrituberculata subsp. helvetica Hille Ris Lambers, 1947, later given species rank as B. helvetica. The latter name is a junior synonym of brevipilosa. A lectotype has been selected. The other specimens have been labelled paralectotypes.

Identity and nomenclature of Tanytarsus longitarsis (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Lindeberg Bernhard 
Published: July 2010

AbstractSäwedal (1982) proposed Tanytarsus bernhardi as a new name for T. longitarsis sensu Lindeberg, not Kieffer, 1911. I still think my identification is correct, although the types seen by Säwedal were Micropsectra junci. The original description clearly refers to a Tanytarsus, not a Micropsectra. No homonymy has been created by Lindeberg (1967) and therefore T. bernhardi is a nomen nudum. A brief comparison with some other species is given.
Ilybius vittiger (Gyllenhal) n. comb. (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae), with description of its larval instars
Authors: Nilsson Anders N. 
Published: July 2010

Descriptions are given of all 3 larval instars based on reared specimens and characters are given for the separation from other Ilybius larvae. Information is given on the natural history and distribution of I. vittiger. Larval characters within the genera Agabus and Ilybius are discussed and a new character for the separation of the 3rd instar is proposed. Some adult characters of generic value are discussed.
Geography of leg-colour dimorphism in the carabid beetle Nebria gyllenhali in Iceland and on the Faroe islands
Authors: Solhöy T. , Bengtson S.-A. , Enckell P.H. , Erikstad K.E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIn Iceland and on the Faroes the carabid Nebria gyllenhali Schn. is dimorphic for legcolour; effectively all samples contained both red- and black-legged individuals. In Iceland (18 sites: 1-100 % red) the frequency of red-legged was lowest in the southern and highest in the northern and western parts. The frequencies at adjoining sites were positively autocorrelated (p ≅ 0.01) and a stepwise multiple regression analysis yielded a strong, negative correlation between the frequency of red-legged and temperature/precipitation variables (R2 = 0.994). On the Faroes (50 sites: 20-100 % red) the highest frequencies of red-legged occurred in the south but the geographic pattern was less distinct than in Iceland and the positive autocorrelation was weaker (p 0.05). Due to lack of detailed meteorological records the negative correlation between the frequency of red-legged and temperature/precipitation could only be inferred from general information and topography. The correlations between frequency of leg-colour form and climatic variables may be casual but different other possible reasons for the observed geographic distribution patterns are discussed. Naturally no definite answer can be given on the basis of the entirely observational data. A genetic basis for the leg-colour dimorphism is assumed, but cross-breeding experiments are required.

The Anthomyiidae (Diptera) described by Fallén, with a review of European Emmesomyia Malloch
Authors: Michelsen Verner 
Published: July 2010

AbstractFallén's nominal species of Anthomyiidae are revised. Primary types for all 27 species have been examined; these are deposited in the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm (21), and in the Museum of Zoology, Lund (6). The nominal species of European Emmesomyia Malloch are revised and diagnostic features of the females are described and figured. — Emmesomyia socia (Fallén) is a valid, senior synonym of E. villica (Meígen); the name E. grisea (Robineau-Desvoidy) is proposed for E. socia auctt. (partim), nec Fallén. Pegomya laticornis (Fallén) is a valid, senior synonym of P. genupuncta Stein.
The cururui-group of the genus Stempellina Thienemann & Bause. Amazonian Tanytarsini II. (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Säwedal Lars 
Published: July 2010

AbstractTwo new chironomid species from the Amazon area, Stempellina cururui sp.n. and S. tarumai sp.n., are described. The species form a well defined species-group within the genus. S. tarumai is described in the larval, pupal and imaginal stage. S. cururui is only known in the imaginal stage. This paper presents the tirst record of the genus Stempellina Thienemann & Bause from the Neotropical region. The reason for the change of authorship for the genus is mentioned. The ecology of the species is poorly known since most of the available material has been collected at light or as surface drift on rivers.
Stilocladius Rossaro, 1979 reconsidered, with descriptions of the female and larva of S. montanus Rossaro (Diptera: Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae)
Authors: Rossaro Bruno 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe larva and female are described and the male and pupa redescribed of Stilocladius montanus Rossaro, 1979. The species is compared with Stilocladius clinopecten Sæther, 1982. S. montanus is considered relatively plesiomorphic in the genus because of the presence of setae on wing squama, moderately curved Cu1 and normal hind tibial comb. The generic description is emended; some characters, such as the absence of setae on wing squama, strongly curved Cu1 and very oblique hind tibial comb, have only specific value. The genus is well defined by one autapomorphy, viz. the narrowed anal point. Stilocladius is included in the Parakiefferiella group of Sæther (1983) because of the shape of the gonostylus, pupal anal lobes, bulb on spermathecal ducts and thread-like terminal antennal segment. Notes on the ecology and distribution of S. montanus are given.
A new Siberian Agabus Leach, with notes on the other species with clubbed male antennae (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
Authors: Angus Robert B. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAgabus vereschaginae sp. n. is described and its systematic position discussed in the light of revisional notes on A. serricornis (Paykull), A. clavicornis Sharp and A. antennatus Leech. The synonymy of A. clavicornis and A. verus Brown is confirmed. A British Pleistocene fossil, formerly identified as A. clavicornis, is shown to belong to A. serricornis, but its pronotal sculpture resembles that found in Siberian rather than Scandinavian specimens.

A revision of the Fanniidae and Muscidae (Diptera) described by Fallén
Authors: Pont Adrian C. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBrief notes are given on the life and Diptera collection of Carl Fredrik Fallén (1764-1830). The 62 species-group names that he proposed in the present families Fanniidae and Muscidae are listed, their type-material and identities discussed, and lectotypes designated where appropriate. Primary types of 51 species are in Stockholm (Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum), 10 are in Lund (Museum of Zoology), and 1 is considered lost. 55 lectotypes are designated. Spilogona falleni sp. n. is described. The following 6 new synonyms are established: Hydrotaea armipes (Fallén, 1825) (syn. n.: occulta (Meigen, 1826)); Helina confinis (Fallén 1825) (syn. n.: anceps (Zetterstedt, 1838)); Phaonia errans (Meigen, 1826) (syn. n.: erratica (Fallén, 1825), preocc.); Phaonia laeta (Fallén, 1823) (syn. n.: trigonalis (Meigen, 1826)); Spilogona litorea (Fallén, 1823) (syn. n.: longipes (Ringdahl, 1918)); Mydaea urbana (Meigen, 1826) (syn. n.: rustica (Fallén, 1825), preocc.).
The millipede family Nemasomatidae. With the description of a new genus, and a revision of Orinisobates (Diplopoda: Julida)
Authors: Enghoff Henrik 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe family Nemasomatidae is redefined to include onty genera with all sterna secondarily free from pleurotergites. Comments are given on the included genera, viz., Antrokoreana, Basoncopus gen. n. (type-species B. filiformis sp. n.) (Kazakhstan), Dasynemasoma, Thalassisobates, Sinostemmiulus, Nemasoma, and Orinisobates. Isobates coiffaiti Demange, 1961 is synonymized with Thalassisobates littoralis (Silvestri, 1903). Orinisobates is revised and shown to include O. soror sp. n. (Kuril Islands), O. microthylax sp. n. (Kamchatka and Siberia), O. gracilis (Verhoeff, 1933) (NW China), O. sibiricus (Gulicka, 1963) (Altai region, Kazakhstan), O. kasakstanus (Lohmander, 1933) (Kazahkstan), O. nigrior (Chamberlin, 1943) (eastern United States), O. utus (Chamberlin, 1912) (northwestern United States), and O. expressus (Chamberlin, 1941) (northwestern United States and adjacent Canada). Mimolene oregona Chambertin, 1941 and M. sectile Loomis & Schmitt, 1971 are synonymized with O. expressus. A possible case of parthenogenesis in O. microthylax is recorded. Evidence is presented for the following sister-group relationships: Antrokoreana + (Basoncopus + (Dasynemasoma + (Thalassisobates + (Sinostemmiulus + (Orinisobates + Nemasoma))))). The position of Basoncopus is uncertain, and O. soror may belong in a separate genus and constitute the sister-group of Orinisohates + Nemasoma. If soror does belong in Orinisobates, it is the sister-group of all its congeners. The American species of Orinisobates are shown probably to constitute a monophyietic group. The family is suggested to have originated in the eastern Palearctic region, Orinisobates having invaded North America via the Bering Bridge. Doubtful species and species erroneously assoiciated with the Nemasomatidae are listed. The genera Okeanobates and Yosidaiulus are excluded from the family and referred to Okeanobatidae stat. n. in superfamily Blaniuloidea. The genera Trichonemasoma, Telsonemasoma, and Chelojulus are also excluded from the Nemasomatidae and relegated to Julida incertae sedis.
The shield-backed katydids of South America (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae, Tettigoniinae) and a new tribe of Conocephalinae with genera in Chile and Australia
Authors: Rentz David C.F. , Gurney Ashley B. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe tcttigoniine katydids of South America are reviewed. All species occur in Chile and adjacent Argentina. Four tettigoniine genera are recognized from South America. Calodectes gen.n. with 1 species from Chile, crybeloplatus sp. n., is unrelated to any other. Xyrdectes gen. n. contains 2 species from Chile, type-species chileno sp. n. and fuscescens (Blanchard), comb. n. Falcidectes gen. n. is from Chile with 2 species, type-species divisus sp. n. and xyelus sp. n.; however, nymphs indicate more may exist. Platydecticus Chopard with 15 species, type-species angustifrons Chopard from Argentina and Chile, gubernaculus sp. n., hubbelli sp. n., mammantus sp. n., manacus sp. n., onax sp.n., philopenus sp. n., primnocaudus sp.n., sagariferus sp.n., pheroxiphus sp. n., robertsi sp. n., rupicolus sp. n., simplex sp. n., tumidiplatus sp. n., and darwini sp. n. all from Chile. The relationships of the genera are found to be with Australia and western North America (genus Neduba Walker). None of the genera shows links with Africa. A similar-looking genus and species from Chile, Coniungoptera gen. n. (type-species nothofagi sp.n.) associated with Nothofagus, is nearest related to Metholce Walker and Veria Walker of Australia, and a new tribe, Coniungopterini is proposed for these three genera of Conocephalinae.

Authors: Scheller Ulf 
Published: July 2010

Abstract21 species of Pauropoda are reported from the U.S.A. They belong to 4 genera in Pauropodidae and 1 genus in Eurypauropodidae. 6 species new to science are described and figured: Allopauropus quadrimaculatus, Stylopauropus corrugatus, S. crassimanus, S. pocahontas, S. fraternus and Eurypauropus washingtonensis. One of these species, Stylopauropus corrugatus, has some peculiar features not earlier observed in the genus and a new subgenus, Propepauropus, is proposed for it. Pauropods are reported for the first time from Georgia, Virginia and West Virginia. New species are reported from Washington, Oregon, North Carolina, Ohio, Massachusetts and New York. The ranges of the species are incompletely known but almost half of the species occur also outside the Nearctic.
Suphrodytes Des Gozis a valid genus, not a subgenus of Hydroporus Clairville (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
Authors: Angus Robert B. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractSuphrodytes Des Gozis is shown, on the basis of the morphology of the prosternal process and the arrangement of the fertilisation tract of the female, to be a valid genus, with one species, Dytiscus dorsalis Fabricius, 1787. The northern Palaearctic species, Hydroporus arcticus Thomson, 1854, H. tomentosus Poppius, 1905, H. submuticus Thomson, 1875 and H. lapponurn Gyllenhal, 1808, formerly placcd together with S. dorsalis in Hydroporus (Suphrodytes) are shown to be good Hydroporus. Hydroporus arcticus and H. tomentosus are sunk as subspecies of the Nearctic H. notabilis LeConte, 1850.
The Anthomyiidae (Diptera) of the Canary Islands
Authors: Michelsen Verner , Baez Marcos 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe Anthomyiidae (root-maggot flies) of the Canaries are revised. Altogether 24 species in 9 genera are recorded. Four species are described as new, viz. Pegomya canariensis, Anthomyia confusanea, Leucophora canariensis and L. subsponsa. In addition, Pegomya lateropunctata sp. n. is described from Madeira. Pegomya suaedivora Hering (type locality: France) is synonymized with P. suaedae Hering (syn. n.). Delia cilitarsis Hennig is regarded a distinct species, not a subspecies of D. platura (Meigen). A key to males and females is provided. Local distribution of the species, both ecological and geographical, is considered, and the anthomyiid fauna of the other Macaronesian archipelagos is reviewed. The origin of the Canarian anthomyiid fauna is discussed. The species all seem to be descended from the fauna of the Mediterranean subregion and can be regarded either as (1) introduced, (2) indigenous, or (3) endemic to the Canaries. Apparently endemic Canarian species are Pegomya canariensis sp. n., P. vittithorax (Stein), Hylemya latevittata Stein, Leucophora canariensis sp. n., Delia canariensis Hennig and D. cilitarsis Hennig.
