A taxonomic review of Guttipelopia (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Bilyj B. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe generic diagnosis of Guttipelopia Fittkau is revised and expanded with particular emphasis given to the larval cephalic setae and Iabral sensilla, which are homologized to conform with the terms applied to the other chironomid subfamilies. A historical account is given to the nomenclatural changes for G. guttipennis, from van der Wulp (1861) to the present and a male imago is designated as the Iectotype for the species. The conspecificity of Nearctic Guttipelopia multipunctata (Curran) and Palaearctic G. guttipennis (v. d. Wulp) is confirmed and G. currani Beck & Beck is considered a new junior subjective synonym of the latter species. Redescriptions of larva, pupa, and imagines of both sexes are given for G. guttipennis and G. rosenbergi Bilyj with a key to their separation. Information is also provided on their geographic distributions, larval habitats and phenologies.
A new species of Helochares from Israel, with a key to the European and some Near East species (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae)
Authors: Hansen Michael , Hebauer Franz 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA new species of Helochares of the lividus group, H. (s.str.) lividoides sp.n., is described from Israel. Nine other species of Helochares have hitherto been recorded from Europe or the eastern Mediterranean: viz., H. lividus (Forster), H. obscurus (Müller), H. punctatus Sharp, H. livornicus Kuwert, H. sharpi (Kuwert), H. mentinotus Kuwert, H. longipalpis (Murray). H. pallens (MacLeay), and H. minwissimus Kuwert. A key to these species is given, and the male genitalia of H. lividoides sp.n. and H. lividus are figured. H. (s.str.) nigritulus Kuwert and H. (Hydrobaticus) melanophthalmus (Mulsant), both previously mentioned from Europe, are briefly discussed, and not considered elements of the European fauna.
Allozyme variation supports the recognition of Agabus lapponicus (Thomson) (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae) as a distinct species
Authors: Nilsson Anders N. , Stille BO , Douwes Per 
Published: July 2010

AbstractAllozyme electrophoresis of the diving beetles Agabus congener (Thunberg) and A. lappanicus (Thomson) yie)ds clear interspecific differences. Populations of A. congener from Sweden and Seotland are monomorphic at a phosphogtucomutase locus, whereas in populations of A. lapponicus from N Sweden two alleles appear at about equal frequencies. In samples from the area of sympatry in northern Sweden only mates could be identified and tested for allozyme variation. The results provide evidence in favour of the recognition of A. congener and A. lapponicus as separatc species.
Revision of European species of Phytomyptera Rondani (Diptera: Tachinidae)
Authors: Andersen Stig 
Published: July 2010

AbstractBased on apomorphic characters of the male and female genitalia, evidence is provided for the monophyly of genus Phytomyptera Rondani (incl. Elfia Robineau-Desvoidy) and its placement in the monophyletic tribe Graphogastrini Townsend (= Elfiini Tschorsnig). A complete, annotated list of generic names regarded synonymous with Phytomyptera is given. The systematic position of Graphogastrini is discussed, with a key to the included genera. The 15 Palaearctic species of Phytomyptera are treated in a key, while a detailed survey is given of the 12 species presently known from Europe. The different species are mainly characterized by previously ignored, strongly diagnostic features of the male and female genitalia. Host relationships and other biological aspects are summarized, and the taxonomic importance of various characters of the adults and immatures is evaluated. Special emphasis is given to the structure of the aedeagus which primitively is a very complex organ with three outlets (gonopores) formed by the endophallus, here defined as a more or less sclerotized distal section of the sperm duct. This typically forms a capsule with three tubular exit branches. Based on a phylogenetic character analysis, the Palaearctic species are referred to five species-groups used in the construction of a cladogram. Three nominal species in Phytomyptera. minutissima (Zetterstedt), riedeli (Villeneuve) and vaccinii Sintenis, are removed from synonymy (spp. rev.). P. vivipara (Brauer & Bergenstamm) = P. minutissima (Zetterstedt) (syn. rev.), and P. gracilariae (Hering) = P. vaccinii Sintenis (syn. n.). Two Patagonian species are removed from Phytomyptera: vibrissata Aldrich to the closely related genus Planomyia Aldrich (comb. n.), and interrupta Aldrich which seems referable to tribe Leskiini.
On some weevil species described by Linnaeus (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea)
Authors: Alonso-Zarazaga Miguel A. , Thompson Richard T. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe identities of seven weevil species described by Linnaeus are discussed and lectotypes designated for six of them, viz. Curculio craccae, C. frumentarius, C. algirus, C. cloropus, C. ater, and C. trifolii. A Iectotype is also designated for Curculio sanguineus De Geer. Curculio frumentarius L. is shown to be a senior objective synonym of C. [Apion] sanguineus De Geer. The next available name for A. frumentarium auctt., non (L.), is A. haematodes Kirby (SP. REV.). A. rubiginosum Grill is confirmed as the valid name for A. sanguineum auctt., non (De Geer). Curculio algirus L. is transferred from Lixus to Lixomorphus and becomes a senior synonym of Lixomorphus barbarus (Olivier) and L. ocularis (F.) (SYNN. N). The next available name for Lixus algirus auctt., non (L.), is L. angustatus (F.)(SP. REV.) and that for Curculio (BrachycerusJ algirus F., nec L., is B. muricatus Olivier (SP. REV.). The traditional interpretation of Curculio [Rhynchaenus]fagi L. is confirmed. Curculio cloropus L. is shown to be a senior synonym of Phyllobius viridicollis (F.) (SYN. N.) and not of Rhyncolus ater (L.), as commonly supposed. Curculio ater L. is confirmed as type species of Rhyncolus Germar.

AbstractThe tribe Microteryini Hoffer, 1955 is proposed a junior synonym of Discodini Hoffer, 1954. The genus Aschitus Mercet is newly defined and a key is provided to females of 20 Palaearctic species. In new limits Aschitus includes the genera Anicetellus Szelényi and Viggiania Trjapitzin as junior synonyms, and 18 speeies are transferred to Aschitus as combs. n., viz. submetallicus Szelenyi from Anicetellus, aeneiventris (Walker), barbarus (Dalman), hemipterus (Nikolskaja), lichtensiae (Howard), matritensis (Mercet), triozae (André), zarina (Walker) from Encyrtus, axius (Trjapitzin), carpathicus (Hoffer) (nom. praeocc., = hofferi nom. n.), ilus (Trjapitzin), itylus (Trjapitzin), narzykulovi (Sharipov), problematicus (Hoffer), sugonjaevi (Trjapitzin) from Microterys, carpathicus (Hoffer), mongolicus (Myartseva) and naiacocci (Trjapitzin) from Paraphaenodiscus. Aschitus balcanicus sp. n. is described from Greece and Yugoslavia. Lectotypes are designated for Encyrtus barbarus Dalman, Metallon usticorne Erdös and Microterys nikolskajae Erdös. Aschitus hofferi nom. n. is proposed as a replacement name for Mícroterys carpathicus Hoffer, 1977.
The genus Aphanommata Wollaston, 1873 in the Old World (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Cossoninae)
Authors: Alonso-Zarazaga Miguel A. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe current concept of Aphanommata Wollaston, 1873 is revised and Brachytemnoides Folwaczny, 1973 is synonymized with it (SYN. N.). The genus and the two Old World species, A. euphorbiarum (Wollaston, 1867) and A. filum (Mulsant & Rey, 1858) (COMB. N.), are briefly redescribed and keyed, and their genitalia figured for the first time. A checklist of the 5 included species is added.
The coral bugs, genus Halovelia Bergroth (Hemiptera, Veliidae). II. Taxonomy of the H. malaya-group, cladistics, ecology, biology, and biogeography
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 islands bordering the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and western Pacific Ocean as well as island groups and atolls in these areas. In Part I of this work, the genus Halovelia was redescribed together with five previously known species; fifteen new species were described. In the present part, two previously known species are redescribed and eight species described as new, all belonging to the H. malaya Esaki-group: H. sulawesi sp.n. (Sulawesi); H. abdominalis sp.n. (Java, West Malaysia); H. nicobarensis sp.n. (Nicobar Islands); H. convexa sp.n. (Maldive Islands); H. poissoni sp.n. (Kenya, Tanzania); H. seychellensis sp.n. (Seychelles, Madagascar); H. depressa sp.n. (Madagascar); and H. mauricensis sp.n. (Mauritius). A key to the species of the H. malaya-group is included. Using the computer programs PAUP and Hennig86, a cladistic analysis of relationships between the species of Halovelia was performed. Other genera of Haloveliinae were used as outgroup taxa. 46 characters (each with 2-4 states) are listed. The cladistic analysis of the character state matrix yields 18 equally parsimonious cladograms, each 155 steps long. The preferred cladogram is evaluated both by characters and by clades. An account is given of the ecology and biology of the coral bugs, chiefly based upon original observations by the author. The distributions of each of the 30 species of Halovelia are mapped and discussed. The historic biogeography of the species is analysed using two different methods of cladistic (or vicariance) biogeography: component and parsimony analysis. Reduced area cladograms are produced for most species-groups as well as a summary cladogram for these groups. The biogeographic history of Halovelia is discussed in the light of these results and compared with the biogeography of other marine Haloveliinae, the marine Gerridae, and other groups of Indo-Pacific animals.
The Cylindroiulus perforatus-group, with the description of a new species and notes on variation within C. perforatus Verhoeff, 1905 (Diplopoda, Julida: Julidae)
Authors: Read Helen J. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA large collection of the Iberian millipede Cylindroiulus perforatus (Verhoeff 1905) has been examined. Examination of the gonopods revealed variation in the shape of the solenomerite which may have a regional basis. A distinctive feature of this species is the hole in the promerite. Some specimens were discovered which have entire promerites when examined using the electron microscope, although appearing perforated under the light microscope. These individuals do not appear to differ from the others in any other respects. An additional species in the perforatus-group from Portugal, C. fenestratus sp. n., is described which also has a perforate promerite, but differs from perforatus in the shape of the paracoxal process and the telson.
Revision of the Sylvestris Group of Ectobius Stephens in Europe (Blattaria: Blattellidae)
Authors: Bohn Horst 
Published: July 2010

AbstractA revision of the species of Ectobius Stephens closely related to E. sylvestris (Poda) (= Sylvestris Group) is presented. The characters defining the Sylvestris Group are discussed, and it is pointed out that the group extensively conforms with a major part of the species belonging to the genus Phyllodromica Fieber. Evidence is provided that Ectobius and Phyllodromica are paraphyletic groups. Five species are recognized, viz. E. sylvestris, E. lucidus (Hagenbach) (= fernandesi Harz), E. brunneri Seoane, E. eckerleini Harz, and E. pyrenaícus, a species described as new from the Pyrenees. The species chopardi Fernandes, currently recognized in Phyllodromica, is also treated as it shows great similarity with E. pyrenaicus sp. n.
A review of the type material of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) described by F.W. Hope, and by E. Mulsant in the Hope Entomological Collections, Oxford
Authors: Booth R.G. , Pope R.D. 
Published: July 2010

AbstractThe type material of Coccinellidae described by F.W. Hope and by E. Mulsant from the collections of F.W. Hope and J.O. Westwood is reviewed. Lectotypes for Hope's species are designated (with a single exception) from material in the British Museum (Natural History). The majority oflectotypes for Mulsant's species described from Hope's and Westwood's material is located in the Hope Entomological Collections, University Museum, Oxford. The identity of a species is discussed where confusion concerning a name has occurred in the past, or where the current interpretation differs from the original description or type material. Brachiacantha bipartita Mulsant is resurrected from synonymy with B. westwoodii Mulsant. The following new synonymies are recorded (valid name first): Ballida brahamae Mulsant = Palaeoeneis aurantiaca Crotch = Eoneda sumatrensis Iablokoff-Khnzorian; Calvia quattuordecimguttata (Linnaeus) = Oenopia dorsonotata Mulsant; Calvia vulnerata (Hope) = C. uniramosa (Hope) = C. flaccida Mulsant = C. vishnu (Crotch) = C. krishna (Crotch) = C. buddha (Crotch); Coelophora saucia (Mulsant) = Lemnia melanota Mulsant; Rodolia sexnotata (Mulsant) = R. guerinii (Crotch); Scymnus nubilus Mulsant = S. curtisii Mulsant = S. lateralis Sicard. The following are new combinations: Afidentula stephensi (Mulsant) (from Epilachna); Horniolus guimeti (Mulsant) (from Scymnus); Rhyzobius waterhousei (Mulsant) (from Scymnus); Rodolia sexnotata (Mulsant) (from Epilachna).
