A review of the genus Trybliographa Förster, 1869 (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea: Eucoilidae)
Authors: Nordlander Göran 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe type-species of all generic names previously treated as subgenera in Trybliographa and in the synonymous genus Pseudeucoila (corresponding to Cothonaspis sensu Kieffer and Eucoila sensu Kieffer) are examined. Most of these type-species are excluded from Tryblingrapha. 35 generic names are dealt with in the study; 29 lectotypes are designated and 22 synonyms are established on the specific level. New synonyms of Trybliographa are: Idiomorpha, Hypolethria, Psichacra, Adieris, Piezobria, Pilinothrix, and Anectoclis (all described by Förster). The genus Trybliowapha is exhaustively described and illustrated and the basis for the inclusion of the synonymized genera is discussed. The relationships with the closely related genera Eucoila and Bothrochacis and also with Leptopilina, Cothonaspis, and Rhoptromeris are discussed in ctadistic terms.

Authors: Roth Louis M. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genus Calolampra Saussure is restricted to Australia. The non-Australian species that have been placed in Calolampra belong to other genera, as follows: C. characterosa (Walker) (India, Ceylon), is a Calolamprodes Bey-Bienko; C. guttifera Hanitsch (Sarawak) is a Princisola Gurney and Roth; C. marginata (Brunner) (Burma) belongs to Juxtacalolampra, n.gen.; C. obscurifron (StÅl) is a Howintoniella, n.gen. — Based on its description, Calolampra simlansis Baijal and Kapoor (India) is assigned to the genus Rhabdoblatta, Kirby. Three species, viz., Calolampra limbata Hanitsch (Singapore), C. nitida Hanitsch (Sarawak), and ?Calolampra malaisei (Princis) (Burma) are considered to be incertae sedis. — A key is given to the genera discussed and the following species are redescribed: Calolamprodes laevis (Brunner), Calolamprodes characterosa (Walker), Juxtacalolampra marginata (Brunner), Princisola guttifera (Hanitsch), Howintoniella obscurifrons (StÅl), Calolampra limbata Hanitsch, and ?Audreia malaisei Princis.
A simple technique for rearing pupae of Símulíídae and other Diptera
Authors: Golini Victor I. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA simple technique for rearing simultaneously several individual pupae of simuliids is described. A multicell rearing tray is featured that can easily be used under field conditions and is readily transportable in numbers over long distances, normally without loss of specimens. This rearing technique may also be used for pupae of some other Diptera.

Designation of lectotypes in Allygus Fieber (Homoptera, Auchenorrhyncha)
Authors: Ossiannilsson Frej 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIt is stated that two Allygus species have been mixed up under the name of Allygus mixtus (F.), one of them being A. mixtus in the sense of Ribaut (1952). Ferrari (1882) described 4 "varieties" of mixtus. By examination of the syntypes of Ferrari and designation of Iectotypes the I established that the "nameless" species should be known under the name of Allygus communis (Ferrari).
Redescriptions of Vertagopus brevicaudus (Carpenter, 1900) and V. reuteri (Schott, 1893), two arctic species of Collembola (Isotomidae)
Authors: Fjellberg Arne 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe two species are redescribed on the basis of new naterial from arctic Canada and NE Siberia. V. brevicaudus is distinguished by its blue black body, head and first antennal segment, contrasting with the white or yellow 2-3 apical antennal segments. Details on the morphology are given. V. reuteri resembles the Scandinavian V. sarekensis (Wahlgren), but differs by colour pattern, the strongly enlarged antennae in reproductive males (epitoky) and other details. V. reuteri appears to be univoltine. Both species are so far only known from arctic tundra.
Revision of European species of Siphona Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae)
Authors: Andersen Stig 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA revision of the European species of Siphona Meigen (1803) is presented. New diagnostic characters, especially based on structural differences in the male and female genitalia, are introduced. Also the traditionally used characters are revised. Four species are described as new: ingerae, mesnili and variutu from Denmark, and martini from Sweden. Thirteen other species are diagnosed. All seventeen species are keyed, and details of the genitalia are illustrated. Two lectotypes are designated. Notes on the affinities and distribution of the species are given. The biology is reviewed and possible host-parasite relationships are presented in an annotated list. True aerial swarming (synorchesia) of male Tachinidae is reported for the first time.

Orthocladiinae (Diptera: Chironomidae) from SE U.S.A., with descriptions of Plhudsonia, Unniella and Platysmittia n. genera and Atelopodella n.subgen
Authors: Sæther Ole A. 
Published: July 2010

Abstract3 new genera and 1 new subgenus are described: Plhudsonia n.gen. apparently related to Austrobrillia Freeman; Georthocladius Strenzke subgen. Atelopodella n.subgen.; Unniella n.gen. near Mesosmittia Brundin, but with genitalia resembling the Parakiefferiella group; and Platysmittia n.gen. related to Mesosmittia Brundin and Unniella n.gen. The genera Antillocladius Sasther, Lipurometriocnemus Sæther, Stilocladius Rossaro and Bryophaenocladius Thienemann are emended. A key to male imagines of Antillocladius is given. 10 new species are described: Plhudsonia partita, Antillocladius arcuatus, Antillocladius pluspilalus, Lipurometriocnemus vixlobatus, Psilometriocnemus cristatus, Atelopodella curticornus, Compterosmittia clavigera, Stilocladius clinopecten, Bryophaenocladius psilacrus, Unniella multivirga, and Platysmittia fimbriata. The description of Georthocladius (Atelopodella) curticornus is based on female, pupa and larva, while that of Psilometriocnemus cristatus and Stilocladius clinopecten includes male, female, pupa and larva; of Plhudsonia partita male and pupa, and the remaining ones are based on male imagines only. The South Carolina population of Diplocladius cultriger is compared with other Nearctic material and a male from Finse, Norway, and the possibility of non-conspecificity pointed out. Two unassociated pupae are described, one belonging to a genus near Brillia Kieffer, and one to a genus near Psilometriocnemus Sæther. One peculiar, unassociated larva is described apparently related to Acamptocladius Brundin. The orthoclad fauna treated show strong evidence of an ancestral generalized track between the southeastern states and the Antilles as well as evidence of common Gondwanean origin with some related genera from the subantarctic islands of New Zealand.
Description of the egg and larva of Euphranta connexa (Fabricius) (Diptera: Tephritidae) and of the egg of its parasitoid Scambus brevicornis (Gravenhorst) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea)
Authors: Janzon Lars-Åke 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe eggs of Euphranta connexa (Fabricius) and Scambus brevicornis (Gravenhorst) are described for the first time. Although the 3rd instar larva of E. connexa has briefly been described from Czechoslovakia, Swedish specimens are shorter, have fewer tubules in the anterior respiratory organ and the interspiracular bristles of the posterior respiratory organ look different. SEM studies of the 3rd instar larva also revealed ultrastructural characters of taxonomic significance. This is clearly shown in comparisons made with other tephritid species.
Description of Nidnurbia n. gen. with notes on the distribution of Micropsectra Kieffer (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Säwedal Lars 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe monotypic genus Nidnurbia n. gen. is described. The genus belongs to the tribe Tanytarsini of the subfamily Chironominae. A redescription of N. capicola (Freeman, 1955) n. comb. from the Cape Province, South Africa, is presented. The species was described as a member of the genus Micropsectra Kieffer, 1909 by Freeman. A study of the type material revealed that it is not closely related to Micropsectra. This fact is of zoogeographical interest because it drastically alters the concept of Micropsectra distribution. It is found, when N. capicola is excluded, that Micropsectra displays a Holarctic distributional pattern. The great majority of species occur in this region. Only a small number transgress into the Oriental region. No species has been reported from the Neotropical and Australian regions.

A redefinition of Acamptocladius Brundin, 1956 (syn. Phycoidella Saether, 1971, n. syn.) (Diptera: Chironomidae), with the description of A. reissi n.sp
Authors: Sæther Ole A. , Cranston Peter S. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAcamptocladius Brundin, 1956 is shown to be a senior synonym of Phycoidella Saether, 1971, and the generic diagnosis emended. A new combination, Acamptocladius dentolatens (Saether, 1971), is established. The male and female imagines of A. submontanus are redescribed and the possible larva described. A new species, A. reissi, is described in all stages and both sexes. A key to the three species is given for all stages and both sexes. All larvae have been found in acid and humic pools and lakes. Some presumed first instar larvae found in unionid mussels may belong to Acamptocladius.

Ecological and distributional information is given for each species.
Canacidae of Israel, with a review of the paiaearctic species of the genus Canace Haliday (Diptera)
Authors: Mathis Wayne N. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractIsrael occupies a pivotal position in the Palaearctic Region from the standpoint of zoogeography, being strongly influenced by faunal elements from Asia and Africa. The Canacidae of Israel also reflect this phenomenon, although only two species are known to occur there: one species, C. salonitana Strobl, is typically Mediterranean, the other, Nocticanaci sinaiensis n.sp., represents the Indo-Pacific region. The genus Canace, s.str., is reviewed, with one new species, C. actites, from the Canary and Madeira Islands. All species considered are keyed and figured.

Karyosystematics and morphology of Northern Chironomus (Diptera: Chironomidae): Freshwater species with larvae of the salinarius-type
Authors: Wülker Wolfgang F. , Butler Malcolm G. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractC. hyperboreus Staeg., C. islandicus K., C. tardus Butler, C. cucini Webb, C. major n.sp. and C. neocorax n.sp. were found to belong to the thummi-complex (chromosome arm combination AB, CD, EF, G). They can be characterized by primitive banding patterns, heterochromatinized centromeres, scarcity of inversion polymorphism, poor chromosome structures and frequently incomplete pairing of the homologous chromosomes. The six species have identical or very similar chromosome arms A, E and F, whereas the banding patterns of arms B, C, D and G as well as the position of nucleolar organizers and Balbiani rings allow clear distinction of the species. Few morphological differences could be detected between larvae and between adults. Freshwater species with salinarius-type larvae are found predominantly in northern areas. Their position in the phylogenetic system of the genus is discussed as well as the possible adaptive significance of the presence or absence of tubuli on the larval abdomen.
