A revision of Rhombodineutus Ochs in New Guinea (Coleoptera: Gyrinidae)
Authors: Brinck Per 
Published: July 2010

AbstractGenus-group taxon Rhombodineutus Ochs, 1926 is related to Paracyclous Ochs (Indonesia) and Callistodineutus Ochs (Melanesia), classified under Dineutus MacLeay. It occurs in New Guinea and New Britain Island, inhabiting streams and rivers primarily at low and medium altitudes where the species may occur abundantly. Most species live in the forests and have a fairly restricted range, while D. pectoralis Régimbart has passed a niche shift and adapted to exposed and exploited land and spread widely, splitting into a considerable number of races, some of which were found at an elevation of 1500-2000 m. The morphological characters are reviewed and their differentiation examined as a background for the classification of the taxon and a revision of its species which have been placed in three groups, containing 8 species and 11 subspecies. One new species and four new subspecies are described. Keys are provided to the various groups of taxa.
The Sciomyzidae (Diptera, Acalyptratae) of Israel, with notes on the distribution of the Near East species
Authors: Freidberg Amnon , Knutson Lloyd 
Published: July 2010

AbstractEighteen species of Sciomyzidae are recorded from Israel, all but two for the first time. Three species are described as new: Pherbellia hermonensis. P. pninae, and P. priscillae. Tetanoceraformosa Loew is transferred from Trypetoptera Hendel to Euthycera Latreille. Keys for the identification of the genera of the Near East and for the species in Israel are included, and the heads and wings are illustrated for each Israeli species. Localities in Israel and the general distribution are given for each species. The distribution of Sciomyzidae in the countries around the eastern end of the Mediterranean is summarized in a chart. The sciomyzid fauna of Israel is primarily a subtraction element of the Anatolian fauna. Data on the distribution of Sciomyzidae in the Levant and within Israel are used to suggest that inability of adult Sciomyzidae to cross desert areas is the main reason for the separation of the Palearctic and Ethiopian faunas at their Eastern contacts.

Eleven species are reported from Sweden, 9 of which are new to the country. From Hungary 14 species so far are recorded: A. acerianus (Askew), A. butus (Walker) and A. splendens (Delucchi) are reported for the first time. Host and host-plants are presented for each species. Two new hosts are reported for A. splendens: Parornix avellanella on Corylus avellana and Lithocolletis schreberella on Ulmus.
Roeslerstammia Zeller assigned to Amphitheridae, with notes on the nomenclature and systematics of the family (Lepidoptera)
Authors: Kyrki Jorma 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genus Roeslerstammia Zeller, 1839, is removed from the Yponomeutidae Stephens, 1829, sensu lato, and placed in the Amphitheridae Meyrick, 1913, which in consequence becomes a junior synonym of Roeslerstammiidae. The family is diagnosed and the adult, larva and pupa of Roeslerstammia erxlebella (Fabricius), the type-species of Roeslerstammia, are redescribed. A tentative check list of Roeslerstammia is given. The Roeslerstammiidae are assigned to the superfamily Tineoidea.
Phylogeny and classification of Old World genera of Siphonini (Diptera: Tachinidae)
Authors: Andersen Stig 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA taxonomic and phylogenetic treatment of the seven Old World genera of Siphonini is presented, based on external characters as well as on characters of the male and female genitalia most of which were hitherto unknown. Three monophyletic genus groups are postulated: A) The Peribaea-group comprising the genus Peribaea R.-D.; B) The Siphona-group comprising the genera Asiphona Mesnil, Ceranthia R.-D., and Siphona Meig. ; and C) The Actia-group comprising the genera Goniocera B. & B., Ceromya R.-D., and Actia R.-D. The Siphona-group is the sistergroup to the Actia-group, and these two groups together form the sistergroup to the Peribnea-group (cf. Fig. 28). All genera except Asiphona are defined as monophyletic based on apomorphic character states. A key to the genera is given. The male and female genitalia of several genera are illustrated for the first time.

Skeletomuscular anatomy of the male genitalia of Epimartyria (Lepidoptera: Micropterigidae)
Authors: Kristensen Niels P. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe skeletomuscular anatomy of the male genital segments of E. pardella is described. The anteroventrally produced segment IX ring and bilobed tergum X are attributed to the ground plan of the Sabatinca group of genera. The gonopod base bears a prominent dorsomedian process. Posterolateral sclerotizations in the anal cone wall are unusually strong, venter X plates are simple and weakly sclerotized. The phallus comprises a double-walled phallobase and a single-walled aedeagus which is divided into a dorsal and a ventral branch; the gonopore opens distally on the latter. Close-set radial folds around the gonopore are a probable micropterigid autapomorphy. Fibres of a VIII/IX dorsolongitudinal muscle sometimes insert in the gonopod base. The phallic protractor originates in the gonopod. No muscles from the segment IX ring insert in the gonopod; a similar condition is found in Paramartyria. Gonopod adduction is apparently effected by a muscle inserting on a median plate between the gonopod bases. A powerful depressor of the postgenital complex originates posterolateral by the segment IX ring. The genital musculature in Epimartyria is compared with that in Micropterix and Eriocrania, and the bearing of genital structure on the systematic placement of Epimartyria is discussed.

Review of Palearctic Aleocharinae also occuring in North America (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Authors: Muona J. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe Palearctic staphylinid beetles of the subfamily Aleocharinae occuring in North America are discussed. The record of Meotica exilis (Knoch) is regarded doubtful. The records of seven species doubtfully reported from North America are confirmed: Atheta amicula (Stephens), A. coriaria (Kraatz), A. fungi (Gravenhorst), A. islandica (Kraatz), A. pallidicornis (Thomson), A. palustris (Kiesenwetter) and Dinaraea angustula (Gyllenhal). Nine Palearctic species are recorded for the first time from North America: Atheta botanicarum Muona, A. dilutipennis (Motschulsky), A. harwoodi Williams, A. longicornis (Gravenhorst), A. nigricornis (Thomson), Geostiba circellaris (Gravenhorst), Gnypeta caerulea (C. R. Sahlberg), Dochmonota rudiventris (Eppelsheim) and Meotica apicalis G. Benick. The genera Homia Blackwelder and Schistoglossa Kraatz are occuring in North America. Pragensiella Machulka, 1941 is regarded a junior subjective synonym of Thecturota Casey, 1893. By the 16 species added here the number of Holarctic species of Aleocharinae amounts to 32.
Chironomidae (Diptera) from the 2nd Fram Expedition (1898-1902) to Arctic North America described by J. J. Kieffer
Authors: Sæther Ole A. , Sublette James E. , Willassen Endre 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe types of chironomids collected by the 2nd Fram Expedition (1898-1902), described by Kieffer (1926) and deposited at the Museum of Zoology, University of Oslo, were reexamined and redescribed. Holtedahlia Kieffer, 1922 is shown to bc a junior synonym of Chironomus Meigen, 1803 with Chironomus brevipalpis (Kieffer, 1926) a new combination for Holtedahlia brevipalpis. One new combination, Smittia nanseni (Kieffer, 1926), is given for Camptocladin nanseni. The following Kieffer names are regarded as nomina dubia: Syndiamesa polaris (incerta sedis), Smittia glacialis (incerta sedis) and Smittia fulvipluma. The type material is badly damaged for Psectrocladius barbatimanus; but this species has been previously examined and recognized by Oliver (1963). A list of other chironomids examined but not determined by Kieffer is given.
The third-instar larva of the water beetle Coelambus nigrolineatus (Steven) (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
Authors: Van Nieukerken Erik J. , Nilsson Anders N. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe third-instar Iarva of Coelambus nigrolineatus (Steven, 1808) (= C. lautus (Schaum, 1843)) is described from material collected in artificial dune-lakes in the Netherlands. The larva is characterized by legs with swimming hairs and long urogomphi with numerous secondary setae. In these characters it resembles the larva of C. confluens (Fabricius), from which it can be separated on the narrower frontal projection of the head and the relatively shorter hindclaws.

The Geometroidea and Noctuoidea described by Carl Clerck (Lepidoptera)
Authors: Mikkola Kauri 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAs part of critical review of the Geometroidea and Noctuoidea described by Linnaeus the species described by Carl Clerck (1710-1765) are reviewed. Clerck (1759) described 25 nominal species of Geometroidea and Noctuoidea, all of Swedish origin, 22 of which are currently regarded as valid. 17 lectotypes are designated, 9 from the Clerck Collection, 6 from the Linnaeus Collection, and 2 from De Geer's collection. The name fulvago Clerck is a new junior synonym of Agrochola helvola (Linnaeus, 1758). The name "fulvago: Linnaeus 1761" is a later citation of Oerck's name, and thus should not replace the name Xanthia sulphurago (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775). The name hepatica Clerck is a new senior synonym of Lithophane socia (Hufnagel, 1766). For Polia hepatica auct., nec Clerck, the name tincta Brahm, 1790 is available.

Revision of the genus Agrenia Börner, 1906 (Collembola: Isotomidae)
Authors: Fjellberg Arne 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe formerly monotypic genus Agrenia is redescribed. The holarctic type species Isotoma bidenticulata Tullberg, 1876 is redescribed and a lectotype is designated. Six new species are described: polymorpha sp. n. (N. America), pilosa sp. n. (Japan), agilis sp. n. (N. America), cyanura sp. n. (N. America), riparia sp. n. (Holarctic) and atroviridis sp. n. (N. America). The genus is recognised by a set of apomorphous characters: Absence of sublobal hairs on the maxillary outer lobe, presence of dorsal tubercles on dens, a long subapical macrochaeta on inner side of dens, and presence of a tunica on unguis. Sexual polymorphism (epitoky) and cyclomorphosis are reported in several species. Neutralization of male secondary sexual characters are observed in some reproductive specimens. Distribution of the genus covers the arctic, boreal and montaneous parts of the northern hemisphere.
