Three species of the genus Leptacinus Er. described by Kraatz in 1859 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Authors: Smetana A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe original material of Leptacinus trigonocephalus Kraatz, 1859, L. tricolor Kraatz, 1859, and L. flavipennís Kraatz, 1859, was studied. L. trigonocephalus is assigned to the genus Leptacinus Er., the remaining two are re-elevated to species rank and assigned to the genus Phacophallus Coiff. All three are redescribed and figured. Original material of Phacophallus rubricollis (Reitter, 1899) and Phacophallus rubricollis (Casey, 1906) was studied, and both names were found to be junior synonyms of Phacophallus tricolor (Kraatz, 1859).-Lectotypes are designated for Leptacinus trigonocephalus Kraatz, Phacophallus tricolor (Kraatz), P. rubricollis (Reitter), P. rubricollis (Casey), and P. flavipennis (Kraatz).

Post-embryonic development and geographical variation in Sweden of Lithobius crassipes L. Koch (Chilopoda: Lithobiidae)
Authors: Andersson Göran 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe variation during development in the following characters of Lithobius crassipes is described: body-length, head-length, ratio head-length/body-length and head-length/headwidth, number of coxal pores, ocelli, antennal articles and teeth on forcipular coxosternite, projections on tergites 9, 11 and 13, spinulation on the last pair of legs (DampP on all legs), accessory apical claws on the 15th pair of legs, genitalia and the pattern on the cephalic shield. Also the difference between male and female and the 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. L. crassipes shows a geographical variation in Sweden and can be divided into western and south-eastern groups (W and SE). There are differences between the two groups especially in spinulation and pattern on the cephalic shield. So far there is no decision of their taxonomical status.

Authors: Hansen Michael 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe European species of the Helochares lividus-group are examined, and it is found to include three species, H. lividus Forst., H. punctatus Sharp, and H. obscurus Müll.; thus, punctatus is considered a distinct species, and not as previously, synonymous with obscurus. Differences in morphology, distribution and choice of habitat are discussed. The relevant type material is examined.
Definition and revision of the Enoplognatha ovata (Clerck) group (Araneae: Theridiidae)
Authors: Oksala Ilkka , Hippa Heikki 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe monophyletic Enoplognatha ovata group is defined on the basis of the following synapomorphic characters: subapical first metatarsal trichobothrium, sclerotized and modified apex of the conductor in the male palpal bulbus, and strongly developed copulatory pockets in the female vulva. In the group the male conductor and the female epigynal openings together with the copulatory pockets form a coadapted functional unit which might prevent interspecific copulation. The hitherto known range of the group covers the western Palaearctic and, apparently through recent introduction by man, the eastern and western Nearctic. Three species are included: E. ovata (Clerck) (Palaearctic, Nearctic), E. latimana n. sp. (southern Middle Europe, Nearctic) and E. penelope n. sp. (Mediterranean). The characteristics of the species are described and discussed both at the individual and population levels.

Pauropoda (Myriapoda) from the Seychelles
Authors: Scheller Ulf 
Published: July 2010

AbstractPauropoda have been collected from the Seychelles for the first time. 16 species were found belonging to one genus in Millotauropodidae and three genera in Pauropodidae. Allopauropus fjellbergi, scychellicus, maheicus, extenuatus, guadrídentatus and acutilinguis and Cauvetauropus proprius and clavistylus were new to science and are described and figured. A close study of Millotauropus silvestrii revealed new taxonomical features which indicate that the genera Millotauropus Remy and Rosettauropus Hüther are much more akin than was earlier considered or even so close that they may be placed in a single taxon. From distributional point of view the Pauropoda of the Seychelles are built up of an impoverished old element of widespread species and of Ethiopian-Oriental elements which can be recognized in the faunas of adjacent islands.
Taxonomy, morphology, phylogenetic relationships and distribution of Micropsectra Kieffer, 1909 (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Säwedal Lars 
Published: July 2010

AbstractMicropsectra Kieffer, 1909 is described and diagnoses presented for the imaginal (♂♂), pupal and larval stages; females of the notescens-group are described. The genus contains at present 83 species of which 9 are described on females. The type material for 16 of these species has not been found. 142 species which have been listed under Micropsectra are presented in alphabethical order. This list contains: name of author, reference to description. name of original genus, present status of species, reference to the paper in which this was listed, collection in which the type material is deposited. Morphological characteristics, evolutionary trends and phylogenetic relationships of Micropsectra are discussed. The genera Rheotanytarsus, Parapsectra, Krenopsectra, Micropsectra and Paratanytarsus form a monophyletic group within the tribe Tanytarsini. The group is referred to as the Micropsectra series. Rheotanytarsus, the most plesiomorphic genus in the series, has a worldwide distribution. This supports the conclusions reached by the morphological analysis. The genera Parapsectra and Krenopsectra are only known from the Palaearctic and Nearctic Regions. The great majority of Micropsectra species are found in the Palaearctic and Nearctic Regions. A smaller number of species occur in the northern part of the Oriental Region, which has the same environmental conditions as the adjacent areas of the Palaearctic Region. Two doubtful species have been reported from India. Genus Paratanytarsus has a wider distribution but clearly has its origin on the northern hemisphere. The habitat selection in the Micropsectra series is studied and compared with the phylogeny. The species within the plesiomorphic genera Rheotanytarsus, Parapsectra and Krenopsectra are found in streams and springs. In the more apomorphic genus Micropsectra many of the species occur in these types of habitats, though there are also a comparatively high number of species occurring in lakes. Paratanytarsus, the most apomorphic genus contains species which inhabit shallow standing waters. It seems probable that the ancestor of the Micropsectra series was an inhabitant of running water. A lectotype is designated for Tanytarsus retusus Goetghebuer.

Evidence for the relationship between Zosteractis and Ameractis is presented. Supplementary notes on the morphology and distribution ofZ. interminata and A. satis are given and the vulvae are illustrated for the first time. Notes on the postembryonic development of Ameractis spp. are presented.
South American micropterigid moths: two new genera of the Sabatinca-group (Lepidoptera: Micropterigidae)
Authors: Nielsen Ebbe Schmidt , Kristensen Niels P. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe basic divisions of the family Micropterigidae are discussed. Hypomartyria micropteroides n.gen., n.sp. from Osorno province, Chile, and Squamicornia aequatoriella n.gen., n.sp. from Napo province, Ecuador, are described; they are the first genuine micropterigids recorded from South America. The new taxa are assigned to the Sabatinca-group of genera, and their cladistic relations within the group are tentatively assessed. Hypomartyria appears to be derived from an ancestor closely similar to that of the entire group. Squamicornia exhibits some possible synapomorphies with Old World southern hemisphere taxa. There is no evidence that the two South American genera are each other's closest relatives.
Identities and relationships of the previously confused genera Odonteucoila, Coneucoela, and Trichoplasta (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea: Eucoilidae)
Authors: Nordlander Göran 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe identities and the relationships of Odonteucoila Ashmead, 1903, Coneucoela Kieffer, 1909, and Trichoplasta Benoit, 1956, are discussed and the re-defined genera are described. The use of some morphological terms are defined and other new terms are proposed. Lectotypes are designated for Odonteucoila chapadae and Coneucoela brasiliensis (type-species of the respective genera); four new synonymies and fourteen new combinations are proposed. Odonteucoila auct. is considered polyphyletic. The re-defined genus Odonteucoila is placed in the Chrestosema group of genera and appears to have a strictly Neotropical distribution. Species from other parts of the world, previously assigned to Odonteucoila, are transferred to Trichoplasta, which is closely related to Rhoptromeris. The type-species of Trichoplasta, T. basilewskyi Benoit, 1956, is synonymized with T. tanganyikensis (Weld, 1944) n. comb. (originally described in Coneucoela). Coneucoela brasiliensis Kieffer, 1909, is the only recognized Coneucoela species and it is considered to belong to the Ganaspis complex of genera. A cladistic analysis of the Rhoptromeris group of genera concludes the paper.

Tanytarsus bernhardi new name for Tanytarsus longitarsis sensu Lindeberg 1967, nec Kieffer, 1911 (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Säwedal Lars 
Published: July 2010

AbstractTanytarsus bernhardi new name is proposed as a replacement name for Tanytarsus longitarsis sensu Lindeberg 1967. The study of the syntype material (1 ♂) has shown that Tanytarsus longitarsis Kieffer, 1911 is not conspecific with T. longitarsis sensu Lindeberg 1967. The identity of Chironomus longitarsis Zetterstedt, 1838 and its assignment to the genus Micropsectra Kieffer is discussed.
