Morphological variation in Aradus cinnamomeus (Heteroptera: Aradidae): patterns within parapatric alternate-year populations
Authors: Heliövaara Kari , Väisänen Rauno 
Published: July 2010

AbstractMorphological variation in the pine bark bug Aradus cinnarnomeus Panzer was studied by making 43 metric measurements of the head, thorax and abdomen of adult males and 40 of the females (n = 1884). The amount of individual variation in males and females was studied both in pooled bug material and separately in two parapatric alternate-year cohorts, i.e. in the Finnish eastern even-year and the western odd-year reproducing populations. The first three dimensions in a principal components analysis accounted for 36% of the variation present in males in the pooled data and for 43% of the variation in females, respectively. There appeared to be different trends in individual variation within the western odd-year cohort and within the eastern even-year cohort. The first principal component describes the general size of the bug in all analyses, while the second and third components correlate best with different measurements depending on the sex and the cohort examined.
The life cycle of Gootiella tremulae Tullgren, 1925 with descriptions of all viviparous morphs and a redescription of Gootiella alba Shaposhnikov, 1952 (Homoptera: Aphidoidea: Pemphigidae)
Authors: Danielsson Roy 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe heteroecious species Gootiella tremulae has Juniperus spp. as secondary host plant but anholocyclic hibernation on roots of Juniperus is common. All viviparous morphs are described including the first instar larvae of the second and third generations. The known morphs of Gootiella alba are described and the possible affinity of this species to Aploneura juniperi is discussed.
Clydesmithia canadensis, a new genus and species of Pemphigidae living on Populus in North America (Homoptera: Aphidoidea: Pemphigidae)
Authors: Danielsson Roy 
Published: July 2010

AbstractClydesmithia canadensis, a new genus and species of aphid living on Populus trichocarpa and P. balsamifera in Canada is described. The fundatrigeniae are apterous and contain embryos of the exul type. No alate specimens are known and the species is probably monophagous on Populus. Fundatrix, apterous viviparous female and first instar larvae of the second and third generations are described.
Description of a new genus in the Chlidanotini and review of phylogenetic relationships among chlidanotine tribes (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Chlidanotinae)
Authors: Brown John W. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractPseudocomotis, new genus, is described to accommodate Orthotaenia scardiana Dognin, Cnephasia citroleuca Meyrick (both formerly in Orthocomotis Dognin), Eulia agatharcha Meyrick, and two new species, serendipita and albolineana. The presence of a broad saccus - vincu-1um complex, hami, a hairpencil from abdominal segment VIII in the male, and the wide basal separation of hindwing veins M2 and M3, indicate that Pseudocomotis belongs in the Chlidanotini (Chlidanotinae). The single female associated with the new genus lacks the abdomen, prohibiting genitalic diagnosis and comparison with closely related genera. Phylogenetic relationships among the Polyorthini, Hilarographini, and Chlidanotini are discussed.
Revision of the genus Ochterus Latreille in the Australian region (Heteroptera: Ochteridae)
Authors: Baehr Martin 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe Ochterus of the Australian region are revised. Following species are described as new: Ochterus occidentalis sp. n., O. nigrinus sp. n., O. bacchusi sp. n., O. kokodae sp. n., O. monteitheorum sp. n., O. paucistriata sp. n., O. louisiadae sp. n., O. alticola sp. n., O. cheesmannae sp. n., and O. latior sp. n. O. pseudosecundus Baehr is ranked a subspecies of O. secundus Kormilev. For O. australicus Jaczewski a lectotype is designated. O. dufourii (Montrouzier) is completely, most other species are partly redescribed. Analysis of distribution shows a surprising high number of species in Australia and New Guinea, compared with the whole Oriental region, as well as the large South Asiatic Islands. The possible reasons for this richness are discussed. A detailed analysis, however, must await a thorough revision of the Oriental and African Ochterid fauna.
A review of Sharp's types of Aleochara from Latin America (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Authors: Klimaszewski Jan 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA review of David Sharp's types of Aleochara from Mexico, and Central and South America is presented. Nineteen species are treated here, one of which is described as new (A. felixiana), seven are redescribed [A. angusticeps Sharp, A. funestior Sharp, A. mexicana Sharp, A. oxypodia Sharp, A. simulatrix Sharp, A. gracilis (Sharp), and A. duplicata (Sharp)] and one [A. miradoris Sharp] is put in synonymy under A. mexicana Sharp. The remaining ten species were treated in my 1984-revision of North American Aleochara but are here included in a checklist with references to description, redescription, and illustrations. Some additional information is provided for previously synonymized A. torquata Sharp (= A. sallaei Sharp), and for A. quadrata Sharp. Illustrations of genitalic structures of both sexes are provided for the first time for the seven redescribed species. Lectotypes are designated for A. angusticeps, A. duplicata, A. funestior, A. mexicana, and A. oxypodia.

The coral bugs, genus Halovelia Bergroth (Hemiptera, Veliidae). I. History, classification, and taxonomy of species except the H. malaya-group
Authors: Møller Andersen N. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractMarine bugs of the genus Halovelia Bergroth inhabit intertidal coral reefs and rocky coasts along the continents and larger islands bordering the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and western Pacific Ocean as well as on island groups and atolls in these areas. A historical review of the study of the genus is presented and different views upon its classification discussed. The genus Halovelia is redescribed together with its type species, H. maritima Bergroth, and four other previously known species. Fifteen new species are described: H. carolinensis sp.n. (Caroline Islands), H. halophila sp.n. (Sumbawa, Sabah), H. corallia sp.n. (Papua New Guinea, Australia: Queensland), H. esakii sp.n. (Solomon Islands, Irian New Guinea, Moluccas, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Palau Islands, Philippines), H. polhemi sp.n. (Australia: Northern Territory), H. solomon sp.n. (Solomon Islands), H. novoguinensis sp.n. (Papua New Guinea), H. fosteri sp.n. (Fiji Islands), H. tongaensis sp.n. (Tonga Islands), H. heron sp.n. (Australia: S. Queensland), H. fijiensis sp.n. (Fiji Islands), H. inflexa sp.n. (Sudan, Red Sea), H. annemariae sp.n. (Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea), H. lannae sp.n. (Java, Singapore, West Malaysia, Sabah, Philippines), and H. wallacei sp.n. (Sulawesi, Sumbawa). Two names are synonymized: H. marianarum Usinger syn.n. (= H. bergrothi Esaki) and H. danae Herring syn.n. (= H. bergrothi Esaki). The following species are removed from the genus Halovelia: H. papuensis Esaki, H. loyaltiensis China, and H. (Colpovelia) angulana Polhemus. A key to the species is included. The taxonomy of the H. malaya-group will be presented in Part II of this work together with the cladistics, ecology, biology, and biogeography of the genus.
Metriocnemus van der Wulp: a new species and a revision of species described by Meigen, Zetterstedt, Stæger, Holmgren, Lundström and Strenzke (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Sæther Ole A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe congenerity of Dolichopelma Lundström, 1915 and Chasmatocladius Kieffer, 1911 with Metriocnemus v.d. Wulp, 1874 is confirmed. Types from the Meigen Collection in Paris, the Holmgren Collection in Stockholm, the Zetterstedt Collection in Lund, the Stæger Collection in Copenhagen, and the Thienemann Collection in Munich have been examined. M. albolineatus (Meigen, 1818) is a senior synonym of M. atratulus (Zetterstedt, 1850) and probably of M. hirticollis (Stæger, 1839); M. obscuripes (Holmgren, 1869) a senior synonym of M. eurynotus (Holmgren, 1883), M. transgressus (Holmgren, 1883), M. ripicola (Holmgren, 1883), and M. hygropetricus Kieffer, 1912. M. brevinervis (Holmgren, 1869) is a senior synonym of Paraphaenocladius despectus (Kieffer, 1926). M. atratulus subsp. corticalis Strenzke, 1950a is raised to the species level. M. atriclava sensu Edwards 1929 is probably not identical to M. atriclava Kieffer, 1921. A diagnosis for the genus is given. M. brusti sp.n. is described as male imago, female and pupa, and a possible variety of M. obscuripes as female imago, pupa and larva. M. obscuripes and M. ursinus (Holmgren, 1869) are redescribed in all stages and both sexes; M. albolineatus and M. fuscipes (Meigen, 1818) as male imago, pupa and larva; M. hirticollis as female imago; M. corticalis as male imago and pupa; and M. longipennis (Holmgren, 1883) and M. atriclava sensu Edwards as male imago. The importance of including extensive morphometric descriptions when doing revisionary studies is shown.
Re-appraisal of the Australian genus Eutermiphora Lea (Diptera: Phoridae)
Authors: Disney R.H.L. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe Australian genus Eutermiphora Lea is characterised by a forward cxtension of the anterior dorsal region of the abdomen, which obscures most of the thorax from view. This gave rise to the erroneous statement that both wings and halteres were missing in this genus. An amplified description of E. abdominalis is provided and its correct placement in Schmitz's (1929) key to world genera indicated.
Reassessment of the genus Rhigognostis Zeller, with descriptions of two new and notes on further seven Palaearctic species (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)
Authors: Kyrki Jorma 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe genus Rhigognostis Zeller in Staudinger, 1857 (= Caunaca Wallengren, = Subeidophasia Weber) is redescribed. Plutella dalella Stainton [= Plutella senilella Zetterstedt] is designated as type species of Rhigognostis. Palaearetic species of the genus, except the Tibetan R. viatica (Durrant, 1906) COMB.N., are keyed and figured. The N. European distribution of the species is mapped and notes on the ecology are presented for most of the species. Two species are described as new, sibirica from eastern Siberia and kuusamoensis from northern Fennoscandia. The newly validated R. schmaltzella (Zetterstedt) COMB.N. (= immaculicornella (Guenée) SYN.N., = horticola (Tengström) SYN.N., = incarnatella var. norvegicella (Strand) SYN.N.) is redescribed. Lectotypes for Plutella schmaltzella Zetterstedt, P. horticola Tengström and P. bicingulata Zeller (a junior synonym of Rhigognostis annulatella (Curtis)) are designated. Additional species transferred to Rhigognostis are R. wolfschlaegeri (Rebel) COMB.N., R. japonica (Moriuti) COMB.N., R. kovacsi (Gozmany) COMB.N., as well as the Nearctic R. interrupta (Walsingham) COMB.N. and R. poulella (Busch) COMB.N., which are not treated in this paper. Plutella sera Meyrick, included in the genus Caunaca by Moriuti (1977), is provisionally transferred to the genus Leuroperna Clarke as L. sera (Meyrick) COMB.N
The Mediterranean species of Pegoplata (section cuticornis) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)
Authors: Michelsen Verner 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe monophyly of the following anthomyiid aggregates is substantiated: The Myopininae/ Myopinini = (Enneastigma Stein + Calythea Schnabl & Dziedzicki) + (Pegoplata Schnabl & Dziedzicki + Myopina Robineau-Desvoidy). The Afrotropical species tarsata (Adams), ornata (Bezzi) and two Oriental species, fulva (Malloch), henanensis (Ge & Fan), all currently recognized in Nupedia Karl, are either referable to Enneastigma or to a new genus in the Enneastigma + Calythea lineage. The recent inclusion of Nupedia in Pegoplata is accepted, but it is pointed out that Pegoplata s. lat. is probably paraphyletic in terms of Myopina. The monophyly of Pegoplata (section cuticornis) is confirmed, and it is argued that its sister group is section acutipennis. Section cuticornis is found to include 1 Holarctic, 2 Nearctic, and 6-7 Palearctic species of which 4 new ones are described from the Mediterranean: P. granadensis sp. n. from Sierra Nevada in Spain, and P. freidbergi sp. n., P. grandis sp. n. and P. hermonensis sp. n. from Mt. Hermon at the Lebanese/Syrian border. The Mediterranean species, which are shown to constitute a monophyletic group, are keyed and subjected to cladistic and biogeographic analyses.

Larvae of Xestia kolymae (Herz) and X. lorezi (Staudinger) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), with notes on the geographical variation of the latter
Authors: Ahola Matti , Lafontaine J. Donald 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe larval descriptions of Xestia kolymae (Herz, 1903) and of two subspecies of X. lorezi: X. l. lorezi (Staudinger, 1891) and X. I. ogilviana Lafontaine, 1987, are given. Both holarctic species belong to the subgenus Pachnobia Guenée, 1852 sensu Lafontaine et al. (1987) and are compared with the larvae of X. tecta (Hübner, 1808) and X. I. kongsvoldensis (Grönlien, 1922). Drawings of hypopharyngeal complexes, mandibles and labra as well as illustrations of larvae are presented. Notes of chaetotaxy are given as ratios of setal distances. Large geographical variation of morphology, chaetotaxy and ornamentation of X. lorezi is tabulated and discussed. Mouthparts of larvae of the subgenus Pachnobia are preliminarily discussed with some larvae of related subgenera Schoyenia Aurivillius, 1883 and Anomogyna Staudinger, 1871.

Authors: Enghoff Henrik , Mauriès Jean-Paul 
Published: July 2010

AbstractChonecambala crassicauda gen.n., sp.n. is described from Vietnam, prov. Ninh-Binh. The genus is referred to the family Cambalopsidae, subfamily Pericambalinae, but differs from other pericambalines in having the lamellae linguales undivided. Alternative hypotheses about this difference are discussed.
The generic composition and relationships of the Cylindroiulini - a cladistic analysis (Diplopoda, Julida: Julidae)
Authors: Read Helen J. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAn analysis is given of the relationships between the genera of the tribe Cylindroiulini. The situation at present is reviewed first. Various characters are described which are subsequently used in the construction of a cladogram. The result is the splitting of the genus Allajulus Koch into three genera, Allajulus, Cylindroiulus Verhoeff, and Kryphioiulus gen. n., this last genus being erected for occultus C. L. Koch. Use of a computer program, PAUP (phylogenetic analysis using parsimony), in general confirms these divisions. The nominal genera Micromastigoiulus Verhoeff, Dendroiulus Verhoeff, Solaenoiulus Schubart, Olisteroiulus Lohmander are synonymized with Cylindroiulus. The position of the Cylindroiulini within the family Julidae is also discussed and a preliminary phylogeny presented. A key to the genera and species of the tribe Cylindroiulini, omitting species in the genus Cylindroiulus, is given in an appendix.

The aquatic Phoridae (Diptera)
Authors: Disney R.H.L. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA key to the Phoridae whose larvae are aquatic or semi-aquatic (hydrophilous) is provided. Megaselia humida sp. n. and M. kovaci sp. n. are described from Malaysia. M. bivesicata Schmitz andM deningi Disney are reported to be highly variable species and two synonyms are proposed, thereby both resolving the problem of the supposedly unknown male of the former and revealing that many critical couplets in Borgmeier's keys to Australasian and Oriental Megaselia are unreliable. Preliminary keys to larvae and pupae are provided.
