Notes on some Lepidoptera described by Linnaeus, Fabricius, and Ström
Authors: Nielsen Ebbe Schmidt , Karsholt Ole 
Published: July 2010

AbstractNotes are given on the identity and synonymy of five species of Lepidoptera described by Linnaeus, twenty-eight by Fabricius and two by Ström. Each species dealt with is treated under the apparent valid combination; for each species reference is given to the original description. Twenty-four new species-group name synonyms are introduced and nine new combinations are established: Nemaxera betulinella (Fabr.), Argyresthia arcella (Fabr.), Depressaria depressana (Fabr.), Chrysoesthia drurella (Fabr.), Brachmia blandella (Fabr.), Acleris laterana (Fabr.), Pseudohermenias abietana (Fabr.), Epinotia abbreviana (Fab.) and Acrobasis repandana (Fabr.). During the work two neotypes, twenty-seven lectotypes and two paralectotypes have been designated and are here cited for the first time.
Les Mesoleius Holmgren des collections Holmgren et Thomson (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)1
Authors: Aubert Jacques-F. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractMost West-Palearctic Mesoleius auct. have been described by Swedish authors, whose collections are preserved in the Museum of Natural History, Stockholm (Holmgren and Roman) and in the Entomological Museum, Zoology Department, Lund University (Thomson). Because the collections are easily found and are kept in two museums only it was possible to make a preliminary revision of these insects, noting for each species the main structural characters in accordance with the keys of H. Townes (Genera of Ichneumonidae, Part 3, 1970). Ovipositors were removed from their sheaths and described. It appears that eight genera were mixed with the Mesoleius of Schmiedeknecht. The present paper attempts to place each species in its true genus and to critically examine the characters used by Townes. I believe that most European species of Schmiedeknecht's Mesoleius should be transfered to the genus Campodorus Förster. Species of the genus Anoncus Townes are easily recognized by their tarsi tending to be short and by their filiform ovipositor. Species of Hyperbatus Förster have the extremity of the abdomen flattened, have short square sheaths, and a very brief apex after the dorsal notch of the ovipositor. 161 species of the genus Mesoleius sensu Schmiedeknecht 1914, and two additional Mesoleius sensu Hinz 1972, were studied. They were found to belong to eight genera: Mesoleius Holmgren, 1855 (45 species), Campodorus Förster, 1868 (86 species of which 78 are new combinations), Anoncus Townes, 1970 (15 species all of which are new combinations), Otlophorus Förster, 1868 (2 species one of which is a new combination), Alexeter Förster, 1868 (5 species all of which are new combinations), Scopesis Förster, 1868 (2 species), Hyperbatus Förster, 1868 (5 species of which 3 are new combinations) and Barytarbes Förster, 1868 (1 species which is a new combination).
Neue paläarktische Arten der Gattung Cyphon Paykull. V (Coleoptera: Helodidae)
Authors: Nyholm Tord 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThree new species of the genus Cyphon Paykull (Coleoptera: Helodidae) are described, viz. C. perses n. sp. from Iran, C. ponticus n.sp. from north-east Turkey, and C. iberus n.sp. from Spain. They all belong to the coarctatus group s. 1. In addition, descriptions are given of the male C. macedonicus Nyholm and the female C. scurrula Nyholm, the former described by Klausnitzer (1976) under the name of Cyphon graecus, which name consequently has to be sunk as a synonym, the latter previously unknown. Attention is drawn to the characteristics afforded by the bristles covering the parameres in Cyphon. The multiformity of these bristles will be dealt with in more detail in a separate paper.

Revision of the East African millipede genus Epibolus Cook, 1897
Authors: Enghoff Henrik 
Published: July 2010

AbstractExamination of 55 adult specimens of Epibolus (=Metiche) including all relevant types revealed that Spirobolus proporus Attems, 1896, Trigoniulus ruspolii Silvestri, 1896, Metiche bravensis, Attems, 1909 (non Silvestri, 1897), Metiche attemsi Kraus, 1958, and Metiche tanganyicense Kraus, 1958 are synonymous with Epibolus pulchripes (Gerstäcker, 1873), a species fairly widespread in southeastern Kenya and northeastern Tanzania. E. bravensis (Silvestri, 1897) comb. nov. (Somalia) and E. mossambicensis (Lawrence, 1967) comb. nov. (Moçambique) are provisionally regarded as distinct species. Lectotypes are designated for Trigoniulus ruspolii Silvestri, 1896 and Metiche attemsi Kraus, 1958. The vulvae of E. pulchripes are described for the first time. The postembryonic growth of E. pulchripes is probably hemianamorphotic. E. pulchripes is active during daytime and is probably aposematically coloured. The filling of the gonopods with sperm takes place during copulation by means of the protrusible penis.

Revision of the C. G. Thomson species of Gonatopodinae (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae)
Authors: Olmi Massimo 
Published: July 2010

AbstractGonatopodinae of the C. G. Thomson collection in the Ent. Mus., Zoological Institute, Lund (Sweden), and in the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stockholm (Sweden), are revised. The supposed synonymy of Gonatopus pílosus Thomson, 1860, with Gonatopus sepsoides Westwood, 1833, seems reasonable. The following synonymy is proposed: Gonatopus flavicornis Thomson, 1860=Neogonatopus distinguendus (Kieffer, 1905); flavicomis Thomson falls into synonymy because it is preoccupied by Gonatopus flavicornis Dalman, 1818 (now Anteon flavicorne). Lectotypes of Gonatopus pilosus and Gonatopus flavicornis are designated.

Silometopus acutus is previously recorded from southern Finland as Silometopus incurvatus (non O.P.-Cambridge) by Hackman (1955) and Palmgren (1976).
Redescription of Paratanytarsus tenellulus (Goetghebuer, 1921) (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Säwedal Lars , Langton Peter H. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe imago d and the pupae of Paratanytarsus tenellulus (Goetghebuer, 1921) are described and the taxonomic position of the species is discussed. A lectotype is designated for Tanytarsus tenellulus Goetghebuer, 1921. The tenellulus-group has an isolated position within the genus and it is possible that it later must be given full generic rank. The ecology of Paratanytarsus tenellulus is discussed.
The nearctic genus Beeria Hatch. Taxonomy, distribution and ecology (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Authors: Smetana A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe systematic position of the monotypic genus Beeria Hatch 1957 within the subfamily Staphylininae is discussed. The genus combines characters of both the tribe Staphylinini and Quediini, however the morphology of the prothorax seems to justify its assignment to the tribe Quediini. A detailed description of the genus, together with the presently known data about its distribution and ecology are given. The type species of Beeria (punctata Hatch 1957) is identical with Philonthus nematocerus Casey 1915, which results in the following new combination: Beeria nematocera (Casey 1915) with punctata Hatch 1957 as a junior synonym. The characters distinguishing the tribes Staphylinini and Quediini are discussed in detail. A key to holarctic genera of the tribe Quediini is given. The subtribe Triacri established by Bernhauer (1931) within the tribe Quediini is identical with the subtribe Xanthopygi within the tribe Staphylinini. The genera Algon Sharp, Brachycamonthus Bernh. and Rientis Sharp are removed from the tribe Quediini and reassigned to the tribe Staphylinini, subtribe Xanthopygi. The genus Rientis Sharp, 1874 is identical with Securipalpus Schubert, 1908, which becomes a junior synonym of Rientis.

Evolution and taxonomy of Andogyrus Ochs (Coleoptera: Gyrinidae)
Authors: Brinck Per 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAnalysis of relevant structures showed that there are three evolutional lineages in Andogyrus. Two have remained in southernmost South America, near the ancestral area of the genus (probably the Antarctic). One lineage has spread northwards and radiated in the Andes. There is a parallel anagenetic evolution of groups of structures which can be related to adaptation to fast-running water. Cladistic analysis according to Hennig (basic splitting) and Camin & Sokal (specific derivation) led to the division of the genus in seven species groups. A key to species is given and six new species group taxa described: A. viscus, A. bos, A. produetus, A. clypealis, A. buculus and A. colombicus subsp. australis.

The changing nature of entomological collections: Uses, functions, growth and management
Authors:   Ke Chung Kim
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe Informal Conference on entomological collections was held in Section 1, of the XVth International Congress of Entomology, Washington, D.C., USA on August 23rd, 1976. Participants discussed various aspects of entomological collections and systematic activities associated with such collections. The speakers represented six countries and a wide spectrum of professional areas. They provided a broader view of the more critical problems facing the world's entomological collections. The functions and uses of entomological collections were reviewed and aspects of computer applications related to the collections discussed. Also, legal and international aspects of the collecting, depository, and exchange of the insect materials were discussed. Dr Elizabeth N. Marke, President of the Entomological Society of Australia explained the events that led to the present Australian legislation on exportation of insect specimens, and pointed out the difficulties of this stringent law and of the effort by the society to repeal the law. This conference agreed to propose a resolution for the Congress on "Scientific Collecting, Exchange and Transfer of the Entomological Specimens" which was drafted by J. C. M. Carvalho, K. C. Kim (Chairman), L. V. Knutson, and C. W. Sabrosky. This resolution, with a minor modification, was passed unanimously by the XVth International Congress of Entomology at the Closing Plenary Session after approval by the Permanent Committee.

Revision of the genus Rhoptromeris Förster, 1869 with reference to north-western European species
Authors: Nordlander Göran 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe type material of most European nominal species previously placed in Rhoptromeris and of some other species is studied. Notes are given on the type material, 10 lectotypes are designated and the identity of the species is discussed. Three valid Rhoptromeris species are found: R. heptoma (Hartig) [type species], R. villosa (Hartig) and R. rufiventris (Giraud) n.comb. The latter is the type species of Hexamerocera Kieffer which is synonymized with Rhoptromeris. The genus Rhoptromeris is described and compared with related genera. The three species found to be valid are figured and redescribed, and also a new species, R. nigriventris, is described from Sweden. R. heptoma is an important parasitoid of Oscinella frit (L.)

Cylindrodesmus laniger Schubart, a widespread, probably parthenogenetic millipede (Diplopoda, Polydesmida: Haplodesmidae)
Authors: Enghoff Henrik 
Published: July 2010

AbstractCylindrodesmus laniger Schubart, 1944 is recorded from Tanzania. The synonymies Cylindrodesmus Pocock, 1889=Hypsoporus Loomis, 1969 and C. laniger=C. palmyrae Chamberlin, 1954=Inodesmus globulosus Loomis, 1964, are established. C. laniger is now on record from Brazil, Panama, Tanzania, and Palmyra Island. This wide distribution may be due to human transport and/or parthenogenesis (males are extremely rare).
