Tibiotarsal chaetotaxy in Willemia Börner, with description of a new species from North America (Collembola: Hypogastruridae)
Authors: Fjellberg Arne 
Published: July 2010

AbstractFour types of tibiotarsal chaetotaxy are observed among Willemia species. Most species display an almost complete 'poduromorph' pattern, but the three species multilobata Gers & Deharveng, arida sp.n. and buddenbrocki Hüther differ by an increasing reduction in number of setae. W arida sp. n. is described from dry habitats in Colorado, Alberta, British Columbia and Alaska.
Systematics and biology of Rhoptromeris strobigena sp. n., a parasitoid of chloropids inhabiting conifer cones (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Eucoilidae)
Authors: Nordlander Göran , Grijpma Peter 
Published: July 2010

AbstractRhoptromeris strobigena is described, compared with related species, and included in a supplement to a previous key to NW European Rhoptromeris spp. Observations on its biology and courtship behaviour are reported. The parasitoid was reared from puparia of Gaurax and Hapleginella spp. (Diptera: Chloropidae) obtained from cones of Abies procera, Larix decidua, and L. kaempferi growing in the Netherlands. Specimens collected in Sweden and Italy were also examined. In contrast to most other Rhoptromeris spp., R. strobigena does not exhibit morphological features linked to reduced flight capacity. The retained good power of flight and an association with trees are considered as plesiomorphic conditions, which R. strobigena shares with most species of the closely related genera Armigerina, Nordlanderiana and Trichoplasta. A checklist of Holarctic Rhoptromeris spp., including nine valid species, presents one new generic synonym (Striatellia Belizin = Rhoptromeris Förster) and two new combinations. Another three new combinations and two new synonyms are given in a list of species excluded from Rhoptromeris, which are assigned to the genera Didyctium, Leptopilina, or Trichoplasta.
Review of species of Entedon Dalman having a complete frontal fork with redefinition of the species-group of cioni Thomson (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)
Authors: Askew R.R. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractSpecies of Entedon having a frontal fork with impressed arms extending to the eyes are reviewed and a key is given. Most but not all species having this character belong to the species-group of Entedon cioni which is redefined to exclude apparently unrelated forms. The reliability of certain specific characters is assessed, and in an account of the biology of Entedon it is proposed that their koinobiotic development is conducive to a narrow host range. Taxonomic, biological and distributional data are given in a check-list to Palaearctic and Nearctic species assigned to the species-group of E. cioni. Four new species of Entedon are described: E. incultus sp. n. and E. setifrons sp. n. from Britain and E. oxys sp. n. from Spain belong to the cioni species-group; E. albiscapus sp. n. from France is an isolated species.

The first records of fossil Corethrellidae (Diptera)
Authors: Borkent A. , Szadziewski R. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe first fossil Corethrellidae, represented by two male adult Corethrella, are described. One, C. prisca sp. n., is from Saxonian amber collected in East Germany and is of Miocene age (22 Ma). The other, C. nudistyla sp. n., is from Dominican Republic amber and is 15-40 million years old. The family Corethrellidae, because of its phylogenetic position, is presumably of at least Jurassic age. The fossils are typical members of the genus Corethrella and belong to a clade which is the sister group of a single species in New Zealand.

A reappraisal and revision of the genus Anthracalaus Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Elateridae)
Authors: Calder Andrew A. , Von Hayek C.M.F. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genus Anthracalaus Fairmaire is redefined to include 17 species distributed throughout the Oriental and Australasian (IndoPacific) regions as well as a disjunct species from Arizona, U.S.A. These species are figured, redescribed or described as new, and a key is provided for their separation. Five new species, A. brittoni and A. kimberleyensis from Australia, A. lamingtonensis from New Guinea, A. solomonensis from the Solomon Islands and A. fleutiauxi from Vietnam, are described. The types of twelve previously described species have been examined and lectotypes are designated for A. agrypnoides Fleutiaux, A. australis Fleutiaux, A. moricii Fairmaire, Corymbites bengalensis Candèze, Neopristilophus confusus Fleutiaux, and N. dissimilis Fleutiaux. The following specific synonymies are proposed: Anthracalaus pasteuri Candèze = Anthracalaus westermanni(Candèze); Homotechnes brunneus Fleutiaux = Anthracalaus bengalensis (Candèze); and both Neopristilophus confusus Fleutiaux and N. dissimilis Fleutiaux = Anthracalaus morosus (Candeze).The taxa Neopristilophus bengalensis (Candèze), N cirratipilis (Candèze), N. luzonicus (Candèze), N. morosus (Candèze) and N. novaguinensis Van Zwaluwenburg are transferred to Anthracalaus. The monobasic genus Pseudomelanactes Mathieu is proposed as a new junior synonym of Anthracalaus As the type species of Pseudomelanactes, agrypnoides Van Dyke (1932) is a senior secondary homonym of Anthracalaus agrypnoides Fleutiaux (1940), edmondi is proposed as a replacement name for the latter. The species are cladistically analyzed. The resultant cladogram implies a link between the Oriental/Nearctic regions exclusive of Australia + New Guinea + Solomon Islands.

Redefinition of Agria Robineau-Desvoidy, Angiometopa Brauer & Bergenstamm and Toxonagria Shewell, with the description of a new species (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)
Authors: Pape Thomas 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genera Agria Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Angiometopa Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889, and Toxonagria Shewell, 1987 are diagnosed and their monophyly discussed. Diagnostic character states for the three genera in their present definitions are: Agria: Phallic tube with a pair of lateral sclerotizations slanting antero-ventrally from the apex; acrophallus strongly tapering. Angiometopa: Gonostylus with membranous lobe at base; phallic tube with a pair of armlike processes encompassing base of acrophallus. Toxonagria: Male hind femur thickened and curved; male cercus straight; acrophallus with broad, membranous phallotreme; male gonocoxal lobe with an extra subapical tooth or hook. The name Omocera Lioy, 1864 (an objective senior synonym of Angiometopa) is preoccupied by Omocera Chevrolat, 1835 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Angiometopa is proposed as a senior synonym of Sarcofahrtia Parker, 1916, syn.n. Agria hikosana (Kurahashi, 1975), comb.n., Agria shinonagai (Kurahashi, 1975), comb.n., and Agria mihalyii (Rohdendorf & Verves, 1978), comb.n. are transferred from their previous position in Angiometopa. Angiometopa bajkalensis Kolomyietz & Artamonov, 1981 is recorded from the Nearctic Region for the first time (Canada: Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon), and Toxonagria arnaudi sp.n. is described from Canada (British Columbia) and USA (California).
Revision of the intertidal aleocharine genus Pontomalota Casey (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) with a discussion of its phylogenetic relationships
Authors: Ashe James S. , Ahn Kee-Jeong 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA systematic revision of the aleocharine genus Pontomalota is presented. Pontomalota is redescribed, and two species are recognized, one of which is described as new (P. terminalia Ahn and Ashe, Type locality-Point Reyes, North Beach, California). P. californica Casey, P. nigriceps Casey, P. luctuosa Casey, and P. bakeri Bernhauer are shown to be color variants of one species and are synonymized under the name P. opaca (LeConte). A key is provided for separation of the known species of Pontomalota, and illustrations of diagnostic features are provided. The geographical body color variation of P. opaca from British Columbia to Baja California is described. In general, the body color of P. opaca varies from black in the north (Canada, Washington to N. California) to light brown in the south (S. California, Baja California) along a more or less continuous dine. Based on mouthpart structure and genitalic structure, as well as narrowly separated mesocoxal cavities and elytra shorter than pronotum, Pontomalota is hypothesized to be more closely related to tribe Phytosini than tribe Athetini. Within the Phytosini, members of Pontomalota are very similar to those of Thinusa Casey in a number of characters.

Revision of the panteli-group of Phyllodromica in Spain and Morocco (Blattaria: Blattellidae: Ectobiinae)
Authors: Bohn Horst 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBohn, H.: Revision of the panteli-group of Phyllodromica in Spain and Morocco (Blattaria: Blattellidae: Ectobiinae). Ent. scand. 24: 49-72. Copenhagen, Denmark. April 1993. ISSN 0013-8711. The species of the panteli-group are characterized by lobiform wings in both sexes and very specialized glands on tergite 7 in the males consisting of two pairs of long tubular pouches. The five or six species are distributed in southern Spain (P. panteli (Bolívar), P. coniformis sp. n., P. ignabolivari sp. n.) and northern Morocco (P. Janeri (Bolívar), P. vignai (Failla & Messina), P. sp. B). The distribution pattern suggests a colonization of Morocco from Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar. The characteristics of the panteli-group are reported, the relationship with other groups is discussed, all species are described and depicted, and keys for the identification of males and females are presented.
