Authors: Ossiannilsson Frej 
Published: July 2010

AbstractExamination of the single male paratype of Psylla myrtilli W. Wagner revealed that it belongs to a different species, Psylla corcontum Šulc. The genitalia of two males from the USSR considered to be the genuine myrtilli, are reproduced. A related new species from the Far East is described under the name Psylla amabilis.
Zur Kenntnis der Käferfauna der Kanarischen Inseln 8. Revision der Gattung Malthinus Latr. (Coleoptera: Cantharidae)
Authors: Palm Thure 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe author has studied an extensive material of Malthinus from the Canaries using both external and aedeagal characters. The males have always been found to be identifiable, whereas a reliable determination of the females is often very difficult or even impossible. As a result of the investigation the following new species could be described: lindbergi n.sp., minimus n.sp., fuerteventurensis n.sp., nigrescens n.sp., israelsoni n.sp., bandamensis n.sp., neglectus n.sp. and maspalomensis n.sp. A good species is also depauperatus Woll. (=mutabilis var. depauperatus Woll.). The number of the Malthinus species known from the Canarian has thus increased from 2 to 11. An illustrated key to the Canarian Malthinus is presented. The distribution of the different species is accounted for in detail, and notes are given on their ecology.

Taxonomy and phylogeny of the fossil family Elektraphididae Steffan, 1968 (Homoptera: Aphidoidea)
Authors: Heie Ole E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe fossil aphid Schizoneurites obliquus n.sp. from the Copenhagen collection of Baltic amber insects is described; the presence of one oblique vein in the hind wing separates it from the six previously described species of this genus, Schizoneurites Cockerell, 1915, of which Antiquaphis Heie, 1967, and Elektraphis Steffan, 1968, are synonyms. A new diagnosis of the genus and a key to the species are given. In specimens of S. robustus (Heie, 1967) and S. fossilis (Heie, 1967) occurring among the other Baltic amber insects recently acquired by the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen, structures resembling the rhinaria in Adelges Vallot are visible on the three terminal antennal segments, confirming the view held by Steffan (1968) that the group belongs in the Aphidina ovipara. The rhinaria, which have not been seen before, also shows that Schizoneurites, the only genus within the family Elektraphididae Steffan, 1968, together with the Adelgidae, forms a group, of which the Phylloxeridae is the sister group. The synapomorphies of the Elektraphididae and Phylloxeridae are explained as results of convergent or parallel evolution.
Description of three new species of Trichoceridae (Diptera, Nematocera) from nothern Sweden and the Alps
Authors: Dahl Christine 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThree new species of the genus Trichocera are described: T.(T.) implicata n.sp., T.(T.) mendli n.sp., both from northern Sweden and the western Alps, and T.(M.) candida n.sp. from the western Alps. The descriptions are based on males only. The material comes mainly from light-trap collections and it is difficult to assign the females to the species described. Whether T. implicata and T. mendli really represent a boreo-alpine element is uncertain as practically no collections of trichocerids from the mountainous parts of Central Europe exist.

Allopauropus viarti Remy and A. damodarani n.sp. from south-eastern India (Myriapoda, Pauropoda: Pauropodidae)
Authors: Scheller Ulf 
Published: July 2010

Abstract26 specimens of Pauropoda were collected from Algar Koil Forests in Tamul Nadu State in SE India by Dr G. Sundara Rajulu, Coimbatore. Two species of Pauropodidae belonging to the genus Allopauropus were found, viz. A. viarti Remy, earlier known from India (Remy 1961, Scheller 1970), and A. damodarani n.sp. which is now described and figured. A supplementary description of A. viarti is also given because these new specimens differ slightly from the type specimens.
Zur Kenntnis der Käferfauna der Kanarischen Inseln 19 Die Gattung Othius Steph. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Authors: Palm Thure 
Published: July 2010

Die subspezifische Gliederung von Panorpa germanica L. auf dem Balkan (Mecoptera: Panorpidae)
Authors: Willmann Rainer 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe distribution and variability of the subspecies of Panorpa germanica in south-eastern Europe are shown. The type-specimens of P. gibberosa MeLachlan, 1869 and P. titschacki Esben-Petersen, 1934, which must be regarded as subspecies of germanica, were re-examined and are described. P. germanica titschacki is distributed in southern Yugoslavia and central northern Greece. P. germanica graeca Lauterbach is not as widespread as Lauterbach (1972) suggested as some of his types belong to titschacki. P. germanica is still unknown from the Peloponnesus, ♀♀ mentioned from there by Willmann (1974) are P. lacedaemonia. Contradicting Bartos (1965) P. cognata is not known from Albania since the specimens determined by him as cognata belong to germanica. The relationships between several subspecies of P. germanica are discussed. New records of the allied P. lacedaemonia are added and used to indicate the distribution area of this species.

Description of Mythimna serradague n.sp. from Madeira (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Authors: Wolff Niels L. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractRebel (1940) listed 34 species of Noctuidae for Madeira. Since then finds of 7 further species (2 endemic) have been published. New material, partly placed at my disposal in order to contribute to a revision of the list of Madeiran Lepidoptera, partly collected by myself, contains 8 additional species of Noctuidae, one of which was hitherto unknown. In the present paper this species is described as Mythimna serradaguae and placed in the Mythimna sicula (Treitschke) group. Photographs of the male genitalia of allied species: M. saucesa Pinker, M. sicula (Treitschke), M. congrua (Hübner), and M. loreyi (Duponchel) are presented. The 15 species of Noctuidae new to the fauna of Madeira since 1940 are enumerated. Comments on these will appear in a revised list together with corrections to some of the taxa mentioned in the previous list (1940).

Zur Kenntnis des Pteromaliden-Genus Mesopolobus Westwood, 1833. XI (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea)
Authors: Rosen HANS 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe number of undescribed species belonging to Mesopolobus s.l. appears to be considerable within the Nearctic region. Quite a few new species were noticed in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. None of them appears to belong to species already known in Europe. Some of the already described species, however, could be identical with European MesopoLobus, but any measures regarding their taxonomic position should be deferred until the existing material has been supplemented with fresh specimens.
Beiträge zur Kenntnis der paläarktischen Helodiden 6-7
Authors: Nyholm Tord 
Published: July 2010

Abstract6. New Hydrocyphon species from the Mediterranean area. Three new Mediterranean species of the genus Hydrocyphon are described: H. finitimus n.sp. and H. rivulorum n.sp. from SW Turkey, and H. fulvescens n.sp. from Spain. H. finitimus is very closely related to H. segrex Nyholm in the australis group, whereas H. rivulorum and H. fulvescens belong to the deflexicollis group. Within this group H. rivulorum occupies a rather isolated position as regards the structure of the penis; H. fulvescens is distinguishable from its allies even externally through its pale coloration. 7. On the identity of Cyphon hydrocyphonoides Tournier. In a paper published in 1967, the present author stated that Cyphon hydrocyphonoídes Tournier, 1868 is not a Cyphon. but belongs to the genus Hydrocyphon. From the description alone, however, he was unable to establish the identity of the species concerned. After examining a specimen in the M. Pic collection, Paris, labelled "Cyphon hydrocyphonoides" and most likely representing one of Toumier's two original specimens, the author now could identify Tournier's Cyphon hydrocyphonoides as a Hydrocyphon belonging to the pallidicollis group and recorded so far from Sicily and Calabria. A redescription of the species under the name of Hydrocyphon hydrocyphonoides (Toumier) is given and the above-mentioned specimen in the Pic collection is designated as lectotype.

North American Tychius: New synonymy and observations on phylogeny and zoogeography (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Clark Wayne E. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractTychius mixtus Hatch is newly synonymized with T. tectus LeConte; T. lamellosus Casey, T. squamosus Hatch and T. intermixtus Hatch are synonymized with T. semisquamoslls LeConte, and T. hirsutus Clark is synonymized with T. soltaui Casey. New locality and host records are given for T. tectus LeConte, T. semisquamosus LeConte, T. sordidus LeConte, T. soltaui Casey, and T. liljebladi Blatchley. Comparison of North American Tyehius with species from Eurasia and Africa indicates that the North American species belong to at least 2 major groups, each of which has a greater number of species in the Old World. Phylogenetic and host plant relationships and distribution patterns indicate that Tyehius arose in the Old World; several independent dispersals from Eurasia have formed the North American fauna. Tyehius sordidus and T. caesius Clark are probably remnants of an old Holarctic fauna associated with the Arcto-Tertiary flora. Tyehius lineellus is probably related to the latter two species but dispersed via Beringia. T. liljebladi Blatchley and T. tectus LeConte are more closely allied to members of the semisquamosus Group; all of these have close relatives in Eurasia. The former 2 have as hosts species of Oxytropis and species of Astragalus which belong to Eurasian groups. They probably arrived in North America after the semisquamoslls Group was already established. T. tectus also has Astragalus hosts which belong to native North American groups. It appears to be extending its geographic and host range at the expense of some semisquamosus Group members. Members of the latter group are known only from species of Astragalus in American groups of from the genus Lotus.
A new and primitive genus and species of Hydrometridae (Hemiptera, Gerromorpha) with a cladistic analysis of relationships within the family
Authors: Andersen N. Møller 
Published: July 2010

AbstractVeliometra sehuhi n.gen., n.sp. is described from Amazonas, Brazil. It has many ptesiomorphic characters and a strong phenetic affinity with the Macroveliidae. The common occurrence of a number of apomorphic characters in the new genus and the genera of Hydrometridae makes Veliometra n.gen. a member of the hydrometrid lineage. The cladistic relationships of the genera of Hydrometridae are analysed and the division of the family into three subfamilies is supported. The proposed sister group relationship between Veliometra n.gen. from Brazil and Heterocleptes from West and Central Africa is taken as evidence of vicariance biogeography in response to continental drift. A classification and a key to subfamilies and genera of Hydrometridae are included.

Uses and user community of entomological collections
Authors: Knutson Lloyd V. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThere are many applications of data associated with insect collections to research and action programs outside the immediate taxonomic community. The development of new classes of users requires a continual re-evaluation of taxonomic capabilities, and the taxonomists, awareness of and potential for meeting the new needs. Certain improvements can be made in the operating procedures of, and in communication between, taxonomists and users. However, increased support for taxonomy is essential if the user's needs are to be met.
