Choeras tegularis

description: Choeras tegularis (Szépligeti, 1905). Revised combination.

Protomicroplitis tegularis (Szépligeti, 1905). Nixon, 1965: 235. Revised combination.
Choeras tegularis (Szépligeti, 1905). Austin & Dangerfield, 1992: 21. Revised combination.
Protomicroplitis tegularis (Szépligeti, 1905). Papp, 2004: 206. Revised combination. Papp was aware of the paper by Austin & Dangerfield (1992), as he loaned the type of tegularis to them (Papp, 2004: 206), but without explanation transferred the species back to Protomicroplitis.
Protomicroplitis tegularis (Szépligeti, 1905). Yu et al. 2012. It is very likely that Yu et al. (2012) were merely following Papp (2004). Although technically Taxapad (Yu et al. 2012) is not a publication, it is a consulted and followed source by the taxonomic community.
Comments. Because the male holotype is lost (Austin & Dangerfield 1993, Papp 2004) the correct identity of this species may never be established unambiguously. However, it is clear that this species is not Protomicroplitis, based on the illustrations of the fore wing in Nixon (1965: Fig. 304), and propodeum and mediotergites 1–3 in Austin & Dangerfield (1992: Fig. 27). I agree with Austin & Dangerfield (1992) that it is most likely to be Choeras.

Comments. Based on the original description, this species belongs to the Diolcogaster basimacula species-group. Although it might be inferred that this was one of the species transferred ‘in bulk to Diolcogaster ’ by Mason (1981: 115), for the sake of clarity I formally propose the new combination here.

Comments. This species is distributed in the Caribbean (Cuba) and southern Florida (south of Gainesville). Males have darker coloration in the mesosoma than females (see Description above) (Figs 25–29). A single female specimen from Bradenton (Florida) is rather unique in the sense of having a coloration that resembles that of males.

description: Checklist of Eustrophopsis species for Brazil
Only 16 species of Eustrophopsis, including E. laurae sp. nov., have their distributional pattern known, with the remaining species only being recorded for the general territory of Brazil (Lopes-Andrade et al. 2024). Eustrophopsis was first described by Champion, 1889, later becoming a senior synonym for Eustrophinus Seidlitz, 1898 (Nikitsky 1998; Pollock 2012). We present the bibliography which includes the studied species, synonyms, and their known distribution in Brazil and other countries.

description: Eustrophopsis Champion, 1889
Diagnosis (adapted from Nikitsky (1998) and Pollock (2012)): Eyes large, covering most of the head, deeply emarginated around antennal insertions, nearly contiguous dorsally. Antennomeres I–IV distinctly narrow, antennomeres V–X distinctly widened and flattened, with annular antennal sensilla around the entire circumference of antennomeres. Sexually dimorphic antennomeres, males with distinctive sensilla on antennomeres V–X. Prosternal process separating procoxa. Prothoracic episterna with distinct, transverse suture. Front legs separated by the prothoracic process. Outer faces of meso- and metatibiae with numerous oblique, comb-like ridges. Tarsal formula 5-5-4, with the first tarsomere being the longest, the other subequal in length; metatarsomere I subequal in length to the other four metatarsomeres.

description: Eustrophopsis bilunulata Pic, 1912
(Figs 2, 4A)
Eustrophopsis bilunulatus Pic, 1912: 93; Champion, 1916: 3.
Diagnosis: Body length of nearly half a centimeter. Overall body brown to testaceous, covered by many fine setae. Eyes nearly contiguous dorsally; antennomeres I–IV and the tip of antennomere XI yellow, antennomeres V–X dark brown; clypeus inflated. Apex of the prosternal process bifurcated. The most noticeable feature is the two black rounded maculae in the upper portion of the elytra.
Length: 5.71–6.30 mm (based on three individuals).
Male aedeagus median lobe (Fig. 4A): slender, overall shape oval, with apical segment slightly longer than basal segment, with distal apex spear-like,
Studied specimens: 2 ♂, 1 ♀ BRAZIL, GO, Goianápolis, Parque Altamiro de Moura Pacheco-PEAMP; Malaise Mata—Trilha do Tamanduá -16,553250 -49,131511 — 880m; 29.vi.2022 - 02.vii.2022; Cols. Oliveira, S.S. & Lopes, W. R. 1 ♂ and 1 ♀ housed in MZUSP, and 1 ♂ housed in ZUFG.
Remarks: No photos or illustrations have previously been made for this species. This species appears very similar to E. bimaculatus (Pic, 1912) due to the two black elytral maculae. The main subtle difference is the position of the black maculae, the maculae in E. bimaculatus is placed in the median portion of the elytron, while that of E. bilunulata is placed in the upper portion of the elytron, which is pointed out in the original description. Another difference is the geographical occurrence, E. bilunulata was first described from Jataí, Goiás, within the Cerrado (Pic, 1912), while E. bimaculataus from Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro, and there are also records for Espírito Santo and Santa Catarina, all within the Atlantic Forest area (Pic, 1912). Other more recent records are also known for E. bimaculatus in the same biome (iNaturalist 2024). Whether these are just geographical variations of the same species, or two truly distinct taxa remains to be seen, as a proper dissection of both male and female, as well as a complete type revision, would be required. Furthermore, E. bilunulata has a record for the Amazon Rainforest, in Tefé, Amazonas (Champion, 1916), but given the distance and dissimilarity of the environment, we are not sure if this is truly a record for E. bilunulata or another similar species.
Distribution: Brazil, Goiás, Goianópolis, Parque Altamiro de Moura Pacheco (this work), and Jataí (Pic, 1912). Brazil, Amazonas, Tefé (Champion, 1916).

Azaleothrips Ananthakrishnan, 1964: 220. Type species: A. amabilis Ananthakrishnan, by monotypy.
This genus comprises 35 species, all from the tropical areas of eastern Asia, and a detailed and fully illustrated account of the genus has been made available by Okajima and Masumoto (2014). To this total of 35 should be added one new species from Australia described below, also a second species from Australia that was recently transferred to Azaleothrips (Mound & Tree 2014). In addition to the species considered below, a single female macroptera of an undescribed species has been studied from near Cairns with two sense cones on antennal segment III and three on IV, and with the third segment clear yellow. This species is similar in structure to simulans Okajima from Bali and Flores, Indonesia, but more specimens will be required before it can be considered further.
