Metrotyphlus samothracicus

description: Metrotyphlus (Agnotyphlus) samothracicus ASSING nov.sp. (Figs 15-19, 33)
T y p e m a t e r i a l: Holotype ♂: "GR – Samothraki [27], Therma, 40°29'40''N, 25°36'05''E, 110 m, Platanus forest, soil wash., 12.IV.2019, V. Assing / Holotypus ♂ Metrotyphlus samothracicus sp.n. det. V. Assing 2019" (cAss).
E t y m o l o g y: The specific epithet is an adjective derived from Samothrace.
D e s c r i p t i o n: Body length 1.3 mm; length of forebody 0.5 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 15. Tarsal formula 2, 2, 2 (Fig. 19). Reliably distinguished from other species of the genus only by the male sexual characters.
♂: sternites III-VIII with shallow, but extensive median impressions; sternite VIII (Fig. 16) weakly oblong and nearly symmetric, posterior margin with a large median excision; aedeagus (Figs 17-18) 0.15 mm long and, except internal structures, symmetric; internal structures of distinctive shapes.
C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Metrotyphlus COIFFAIT, 1959 previously included twelve species in two subgenera, four in the nominal subgenus and eight in the subgenus Agnotyphlus COIFFAIT, 1972 (SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). Those assigned to Agnotyphlus had been recorded from the Alpi Apuane and across the southern Alps southeastwards to Istria (Croatia). Thus, the record of M. samothracicus expands the known range of both the genus and the subgenus southeastwards by a distance of more than 1,000 km and suggests that at least Agnotyphlus is far more widespread and diverse than presently known.
The new species differs from other Agnotyphlus species by the distinctive male primary and secondary sexual characters, particularly the internal structures of the aedeagus. For illustrations of the previously described species see COIFFAIT (1972) and PACE (1997).
D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d n a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Metrotyphlus samothracicus is most likely endemic to Samothraki. Despite extensive soil washing in numerous localities, only a single male was found. It was collected in the north of the island in a moist Platanus forest at an altitude of 110 m. The locality is illustrated in Fig. 33.

description: Cephennium samothracicum ASSING nov.sp. (Figs 20-22, 35)
T y p e m a t e r i a l: Holotype ♂: "GR – Samothraki [23], WSW Ano Meria, 40°27'39''N, 25°38'32''E, 900 m, roots and litter, 11.IV.2019, V. Assing / Holotypus ♂ Cephennium samothracicum sp. n. det. V. Assing 2019" (cAss).
E t y m o l o g y: The name (adjective) is derived from Samothrace.
D e s c r i p t i o n: Body length 0.93 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 20. Coloration palereddish with yellowish legs and palpi. Whole body with extremely fine punctation barely visible even at a magnification of 100 x and without microsculpture. Pronotum and elytra relatively weakly convex in cross-section. Anophthalmous, without traces of eyes. Antenna 0.4 mm long, with antennomeres IX-XI forming a distinct club; antennomeres IX-X strongly transverse and XI barely 1.5 times as long as broad.
Pronotum weakly transverse, barely 1.15 times as broad as long and 1.75 times as broad as head, broadest anteriorly and weakly tapering posteriad; lateral margins nearly straight. Elytra slender, 1.8 times as long as pronotum and 1.5 times as long as combined width, with narrow, but distinct humeral keel of approximately one-third the length of elytron. All tibiae distinctly dilated in apical two thirds.
♂: aedeagus (Figs 21-22) 0.21 mm long, with broadly house-shaped ventral process in ventral view; internal sac with three pairs of sclerotized spines of distinctive shapes.
C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Since the subgeneric concept currently in use is problematic (JALOSZYŃSKI & STEVANOVIĆ 2015), C. samothracicum is not assigned to any of the six subgenera represented in the Palaearctic region. Cephennium MÜLLER & KUNZE, 1822 is represented in the Greek mainland and the Aegean islands by numerous species, many of them anophthalmous or subanophthalmous and locally endemic, but mostly undescribed (MEYBOHM pers. comm.). The new species is distinguished from the four described species from the Greek mainland and Corfu currently assigned to the subgenus Phennecium NORMAND, 1912 (C. granulum REITTER, 1884, C. ionicum HOLDHAUS, 1908, C. lesinae REITTER, 1881, C. puncticolle REITTER, 1885), as well as from other described and undescribed species of the Aegean islands and West Turkey by the morphology of the aedeagus (short parameres; shapes of the ventral process and of the internal structures).
D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d n a t u r a l h i s t o r y: This anophthalmous and most likely island-endemic species was found in the northeast of Samothraki. The holotype was sifted from litter and roots between rocks in the shade of large rocks and beneath an old oak tree at an altitude of 900 m (Fig. 35).

(Figs. 7, 8)
Type locality. French Guiana [USNM, syntype examined]
This species is broadly distributed in Latin America, from Guatemala, the Amazonian region, Brazilian Atlantic Forest, and Cerrado (R.A. St Laurent unpublished; Herbin & Mielke 2014). Given the broad distribution and uniqueness of this species, it is easily recognizable and well represented in many collections and seems quite common where it occurs. Therefore, its presence in Trinidad is expected.
The male specimen from Trinidad (Fig. 7) is quite dark in maculation in comparison to most other specimens of this species. However, an examination of the genitalia revealed no distinct differences from a mainland, Amazonian population (Brazil, Amazonas, in CUIC). Furthermore, the maculation of the female specimen from Trinidad (Fig. 8) is typical of the species.
The two known specimens from Trinidad are from lowland forest localities: Valencia Forest, to the East of the ‘Long Stretch’ between Arima and Sangre Grande, which has mostly been cleared now, and the Parrylands Oilfield, which has changed little since collecting in 1980.

Type locality. Surinam [MNHU, photos of syntypes examined]
Cicinnus incerta is quite similar to several other species in the genus Cicinnus, which form a clear species group (Herbin & Monzón 2015). However, C. incerta seems to be the only species broadly inhabiting the Amazonian Basin, assuming cryptic species do not exist. The specimens from Trinidad are externally identical to those from mainland populations, specifically in comparison to French Guiana specimens.
The two known specimens from Trinidad are from Curepe, a lowland suburban area at the foot of the Northern Range.

Cicinnus joanna

description: Cicinnus joanna Schaus, 1905
(Figs. 15, 16)
Type locality. French Guiana [USNM, syntype examined]
The name Cicinnus joanna is currently applied to all populations of several similar species ranging from Guatemala and Belize south to throughout South America, but are all currently considered synonyms except for C. joanna (Becker 1996). All synonyms of C. joanna are likely to be have full species status considering external and genitalia differences (R.A. St Laurent unpublished) and thus were inappropriately synonymized by Schaus (1928) and Becker (1996). Furthermore, genitalia examinations displays that C. joanna sensu lato belongs to Psychocampa Grote & Robinson, 1866. Future revisions of Cicinnus and Psychocampa will ultimately be necessary to determine the true status of the several names treated as C. joanna as well as a definitive generic placement, thus we have chosen not to make these taxonomic changes at this time.
The species present in Trinidad is most likely true C. joanna due to the relative proximity of the type locality and affinity of Trinidad species with those found in French Guiana. The population of Trinidad also matches the type of C. joanna in external appearance.
The two specimens known from Trinidad were taken at light on a forested hill-top (Brigand Hill, 217 m, in the Central Range) and ridge top (Morne Bleu Textel Installation, 700 m, in the Northern Range).

description: Cicinnus sp. undetermined
(Not figured.)
We have seen images of two Cicinnus sp. specimens from Tobago, which are unfortunately very badly damaged by psocids. These specimens are damaged to the point where almost none of the wings remain, thus identification is essentially impossible. However, the apical half of one specimen’s wings were still present when M. Kelly photographed them, and display characters such as postmedial shading and a small hyaline patch similar to C. packardii (Grote, 1865). There are currently no described species matching the appearance of this moth from northern South America, but there are one or two undescribed species from northern Venezuela that are somewhat similar (St Laurent unpublished). Hopefully more material will be located in the future for a meaningful determination and potential species description. Ingraham’s material was collected at light in or near the forest at his house high on the main ridge of Tobago, above Charlotteville.

Replacement name for Druentia Schaus, 1928 Type species: Druentica partha (Schaus, 1905)
Druentica is composed of many similar species in several distinct species-groups, and identification of most species is difficult until a thorough revision of the genus has been completed. Two species are recognized from Trinidad, one of which has been studied as a potential biological control agent of the weed Clidemia hirta (Melastomataceae), a neotropical shrub introduced and invasive in various areas of the Old World tropics including Hawai’i (Waterhouse & Norris 1987). Druentica species are considered to be specialized on Melastomataceae (Herbin 2016).

This identification was confirmed by genitalia dissection of one male specimen collected in Trinidad, which is a perfect match for D. patawa, newly described from French Guiana (Herbin 2016). Therefore, this is the first report of this species from outside of French Guiana. Prior to the description of D. patawa, Cock (2003) referred to this species as D. scissa, a presumably Amazonian species of uncertain identity.
Druentica patawa has primarily been collected from forested areas of the Northern Range, both in the valleys and on ridge tops, where it is not rare.

Type locality. French Guiana
Like Druentica, Lacosoma consists of many similar taxa, and is in dire need of an adequate revision. However, the genitalia dissection of the single male Lacosoma (other than L. valva) in Trinidad is a very close match to the genitalia of the holotype of L. ostrinum (Herbin 2016, figs. 90–92). Externally, these specimens are quite close as well, although the forewings are slightly more falcate in the holotype of L. ostrinum. If our determination is correct, this is the first report of L. ostrinum outside of French Guiana.
Although we have only examined a single pair of specimens from Trinidad, we have no reason to believe that they are not conspecific considering the scarcity of Lacosoma collected in Trinidad. Therefore, we figure here the female of L. ostrinum for the first time. Both Trinidad specimens were captured in lowland forest, the male in the south and the female between the Northern and Central Ranges.

Type locality. Surinam [NHMUK syntype, examined] Lacosoma amilia (Cramer): Kaye & Lamont (1927)
Mimallo amilia is one of the most broadly distributed mimallonids, found from Mexico to Southeast Brazil and Paraguay (Schaus 1928; St Laurent unpublished). This species was previously reported from Trinidad as Lacosoma amilia by Kaye & Lamont (1927) based on a specimen taken by F.W. Jackson in 1922, which we assume is the male with matching data that we list below in NHMUK. We here include additional new records from Trinidad, as well as the first report of this species from Tobago making this one of two mimallonid species reported from the island, together with the here undetermined Cicinnus species listed above.
This species is reported to feed on various Myrtaceae and is a minor pest of guava (Psidium guajava) in Brazil (Costa Lima 1950; Zanuncio et al. 2005), so it is not surprising that it is widespread in disturbed areas in Trinidad and Tobago.

Type locality. Brazil: Amazonas [USNM, syntype examined]
Trogoptera, like Druentica and Lacosoma above, is a poorly studied genus, with numerous similar species, potential synonymies, and undescribed cryptic taxa. However, we are aware of at least two specimens (one male, one female, we only figure the putative female of this species) from Trinidad that closely match a syntype of T. belilia in the USNM. Pending additional information regarding Trogoptera from Trinidad, we maintain our determinations of these two specimens as T. belilia and consider it present on the island. The genitalia preparation of the syntype of T. belilia in the USNM is missing and thus the identity of this species will remain in question until topotypical material can be examined.
Material examined. (1 ♂, 1 ♀ total) TRINIDAD: 1 ♀, Off Saunders Road, Inniss Field, at beginning of track to dam, c. 50 m: 17.V.1999, M.J.W. Cock [leg.], MV light, dusk–2210h (MJWC). ♂, [additional label data besides “ Trinidad ” not available for this study] (AMNH).

(Figs. 23, 30)
Type locality. Brazil: Amazonas; Venezuela: Merida; French Guiana [USNM syntype, French Guiana, examined, French Guiana specimen designated here as lectotype]
The specimens from Trinidad that we have examined, closely match a male syntype of T. guianaca from French Guiana, and thus we assign the specimens from Trinidad to this species. As noted earlier, there is a strong similarity between the Mimallonidae fauna of French Guiana and that of Trinidad.
Considering the fact that T. guianaca was described from an unspecified number of specimens from Brazil, Venezuela, and French Guiana, there is uncertainty surrounding the identity of this species. Therefore, we designate a lectotype for T. guianaca using a syntype in the USNM from French Guiana with the following labels: Trogoptera guianaca type Schaus/ Genitalia Slide By C.H. # 23 USNM 86051/ ♂ genitalia slide, 24 Mch.’28 C.H. #23/ Avril [April]/ Guyane Françse [French Guiana], Nouveau Chantier, Collection Le Moult/ Dognin Collection/ [Lecto] Type No. 33568 U.S. M.N./ USNM-Mimal: 1045/ LECTOTYPE ♂ Trogoptera guianaca Schaus designated by St Laurent and Cock, 2017 [red handwritten label]. This designation enables us to more accurately identify the specimens from Trinidad that we attribute to T. guianaca, and more importantly, offers stability as to the identity of the species T. guianaca.
The few specimens are from diverse habitats in Trinidad: suburban (Curepe), lowland forest (Inniss Field), and high forest (Morne Bleu Textel Installation).

Type locality. French Guiana, Guyana [USNM syntype, Guyana, examined]
Zaphanta infantilis is the sole representative of the genus Zaphanta, and is one of the smallest Mimallonidae. This species is broadly distributed in Central America and South America (Schaus 1928) and in actuality the name infantilis likely includes multiple species (St Laurent unpublished). As is the case for Lacosoma valva, the only Trinidad specimens known to us were taken at light in lowland forest (Valencia Forest; see comments under Alheita caudina above).

Lors de la description du genre Nephrodesmus, Schindler décrit N. albus et réalise deux combinaisons taxonomiques nouvelles: N. francii et N. sericeus, mais ne désigne aucune espèce type. Nous choisissons ici N. albus comme lectotype espèce type du genre Nephrodesmus car les diagnoses du genre et de cette espèce ont été décrites ensemble (probablement à Paris) et les échantillons types de ce taxon sont en très bon état de conservation.

NOTES
L’holotype de Desmodium francii servant de référence à Harms dans l’herbier de Berlin semble avoir été détruit en 1943 (Hiepko 1987). Aucun échantillon-type de Desmodium n’y est plus actuellement répertorié. Dans la publication originale de Desmodium francii, le nom contient un point d’interrogation avant l’épithète spécifique, signifiant un doute émis par Harms quant à l’appartenance de ce taxon au genre Desmodium. Toutefois ce nom ayant été publié avant 1990, il reste valide.
Le transfert de Desmodium francii Harms. sous Nephrodesmus est effectué par Schindler (1917) lors de la description du genre et de ses deux nouvelles espèces N. albus et N. sericeus. Dès 1939 Guillaumin, dans sa flore de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, ne voyait aucune différence entre N. albus et N. francii. Nephrodesmus albus est ici placé comme synonyme taxonomique de N. francii (Harms) Schindl., car le basionyme D. francii a été validement créé antérieurement (1911). Ces deux taxons sont similaires morphologiquement. Ils possèdent tous deux un apex foliaire mucroné, une pilosité roussâtre caractéristique sur leurs pétioles et feuilles et une grande inflorescence ferrugineuse.
La part d’herbier Balansa 2808 conservée à Kew (K000858766), et citée dans la diagnose de Nephrodesmus albus, comporte un mélange de deux espèces sur la même planche: un rameau d’ Arthroclianthus balansae (en haut) et le syntype de N. albus (en bas). La part d’herbier Balansa 2467 (P02296156) est par conséquent choisie comme lectotype de N. albus, car de surcroît en très bon état de conservation.

NOTES
Nephrodesmus hochreutineri et Arthroclianthus macrobotryosus ont été longtemps confondus en raison d’un doute émis par Hochreutiner (1909) sur l’appartenance des échantillons Vieillard 2549 (holotype) et Vieillard 2550 à la même espèce. Cette dernière récolte fut toutefois exclue de N. hochreutineri par Schindler (1926). Deux rameaux distincts sont visibles sur la part Vieillard 2549 de l’herbier de NY, correspondant bien à la même espèce. De plus amples explications relatives à cette confusion sont fournies sous le paragraphe Arthroclianthus macrobotryosus Hochr.

Au vu des nombreuses récoltes ultérieures à la description de ces deux espèces, et de leur variabilité observée, N. ferrugineus est ici placé en synonymie de N. parvifolius.

L’échantillon type de A. ischnopodus est un unicatum. La plupart des échantillons identifiés en Arthroclianthus ischnopodus sont à l’herbier de Zurich. À l’observation des nouvelles récoltes de A. angustifolius, la taille des feuilles et de l’inflorescence de A. ischnopodus est comprise dans la délimitation morphologique de A. angustifolius.
Le spécimen d’herbier ayant servi à la description d’ Arthroclianthus comptonii comporte des fleurs épanouies et des fruits matures. Les feuilles elliptiques, les inflorescences compactes, les longs stipes grêles des gousses ne laissent aucun doute sur son appartenance à A. angustifolius. Aucun caractère particulier ne permet de distinguer ces trois taxons.

Les échantillons appartenant à la récolte Pancher 42 sont un mélange de plusieurs espèces (A. caudatus, A. deplanchei et A. microbotrys). Un seul échantillon conservé à P correspond à la diagnose originale. Les parts de Pancher 42 de P (P03993544, P02296378 etP02296379) et NY (NY01104742) correspondent morphologiquement à A. deplanchei et ne sont par conséquent pas des syntypes de A. caudatus. Un des échantillons (P03993544) mentionne un nom («Tanlé ») se rapportant à la localité type de A. deplanchei et une triple numérotation (Pancher 42, Deplanche 325 et Vieillard 2553).
Arthroclianthus caudatus est placé en synonymie de A. balansae car les deux espèces sont similaires morphologiquement et écologiquement.Elles ont été publiées à la même date et dans le même travail (Schindler 1925). Nous choisissons A. balansae comme nom représentant l’espèce concernée, car son échantillon type est en meilleur état de conservation et présente tous les caractères discriminants inscrits dans la diagnose spécifique de Schindler.

NOTE
Cette espèce a souvent été confondue au sein des collections d’herbier avec d’autres espèces. Le spécimen type (Balansa 2461a) ne comporte que des fruits, rendant l’identification des récoltes fleuries de cette espèce parfois délicate.
