Mitinha

description: Mitinha, gen. nov.
(Figs 1–11)
Type-species: Mitinha neri, sp. nov. by present designation. Gender masculine.
Diagnosis. This genus has typical Mythicomyiinae wing venation: vein R 2+3 ending in R 1 before junction with costa forming a small triangular cell r1, and vein R 4+5 ending in costa at a level clearly beyond end of vein M 2 (Fig. 3). It can be separated from other genera in the subfamily by the following combination of characters: antennal stylus placed apically on second flagellomere (Fig. 2); costal vein circumambient; vein R 4+5 gently sinuous; r-m crossvein placed slightly beyond basal third of cell dm; cell dm short; crossvein dm-cu slightly longer than m-m crossvein; vein M 1 rather straight, more than two times cell dm length; vein A 1 short, stopping at alular incision level; anal lobe not keel-shaped (Fig. 3); three spermathecae; sperm pump jar-shaped with translucent dilation (Fig. 9); each spermathecal duct extremely elongated, twisted, spiraled distally (Fig. 10).
Etymology. The generic epithet Mitinha is a noun in apposition and refers to the nickname of José Wilmington Paes Landim Ribeiro, administrator of the Parque Nacional Serra das Confusões, who helped us with field logistics, transportation and laboratory facilities.
Distribution. State of Piauí, Brazil, Parque Nacional Serra das Confusões, one of the more arid places in Northeast Brazil, with typical Caatinga vegetation.
Discussion. Within Mythicomyiinae, Mitinha shares the apical stylus with Mythenteles Hall & Evenhuis but can be easily separated from it by the circumambient costal vein (costa incomplete, stopping between R 4+5 and M 1 in Mythenteles (Fig. 22)); it shares the circumambient costa and small dm cell with Reissa Evenhuis & Baéz but can be separated from that by the apical stylus (subapical in Reissa), r-m crossvein placed slightly beyond the basal third, and cell dm rather parallel sided and same length as last section of vein CuA 1 (r-m placed slightly before middle and cell dm rather angulated and shorter than last section of vein CuA 1 in Reissa (Fig. 23)).

Tamanduamyia

description: Tamanduamyia, gen. nov.
Type-species: Tamanduamyia bandeira, sp. nov. by present designation. Gender feminine.
Diagnosis. This genus has typical Mythicomyiinae wing venation: vein R 2+3 ending in R 1 before junction with costa forming a small triangular cell r 1 and vein R 4+5 ending in costa at a level clearly beyond end of vein M 2 (Fig. 16). It can be separated from other genera in the subfamily by the following combination of characters: postcranium extremely developed with a well-developed semicircular keel connecting postgenae (Fig. 12); oral cavity with distinct ventral sulcus; only one flagellomere with minute inconspicuous distal stylus (Figs 14, 15); rather robust setae on ocellar tubercle, pronotum, postpronotal lobe, posterior dorsocentral, notopleuron, supra-alar, postalar and scutellum; costal vein circumambient; R 4+5 rather straight; r-m crossvein placed slightly before basal quarter of cell dm; cell dm short; cross vein dm-cu slightly longer than m-m crossvein; vein M 1 rather straight, almost two times cell dm length; A 1 short, incomplete, ending at level of alular incision; anal lobe not keel-shaped (Fig. 16); vaginal furca translucent, undefined shape, with small sclerotized sclerite distally (Fig. 19); three spermathecae; sperm pump (Fig. 20) elongate, coniform; each duct elongate with no apparent modifications, ending in thin elongate spermathecal reservoir folded in half on itself with each half thin, elongate, of equal width, extremely thin at fold (Fig. 20).
Etymology. The generic epithet Tamanduamyia is a combination of two names. Tamanduá is the common name of the anteater in Brazil and is related to the appearance of the head of this fly and the tamanduá is also the symbol of the Parque Nacional Serra das Confusões; myia from Greek µυια, meaning fly.
Distribution. State of Piauí, Brazil, Parque Nacional Serra das Confusões, one of the more arid places in northeast Brazil, with typical Caatinga vegetation.
Discussion. Within Mythicomyiinae, Tamanduamyia differs from all other genera by having only one flagellomere with an inconspicuous minute stylus placed distally, by the extremely elongated postcranium, by the oral cavity with a distinct ventral sulcus and by the spermathecal reservoir folded upon itself. The postcranium looks very much like the platypygine genera Cephalodromia Becker and Cyrtisiopsis Séguy, both Old World genera (Greathead & Evenhuis 2001). It differs from both platypygine genera by the typical mythicomyiine wing venation with a small triangular submarginal cell formed by vein R 2+3 ending in R 1 before the costal vein.

Odopoea biolleyi Distant 1903: 526 (type material in BMNH, BMNH(E) #651650). Collina biolleyi Distant 1905b: 480.
Procollina biolleyi Metcalf 1952: 229.
Type locality. Cerro Carisia, Costa Rica.
Remarks. The label associated with a syntype in the BMNH records the specimen being collected at 1600 m on Cerro Carisia. Body length is 32 mm with a wingspan of 85 mm (Distant 1903). The bronze tinting of the hyaline fore wings in this species is much darker than in P. obesa, this new species lacks the small spots of infuscation within all fore wing cells found in P. obesa, and this species is about 50% larger than P. obesa. The fore wing coloration is bronzed rather than bluish, the lateral view of the uncus is smoothly curved rather than being bent at an approximate right angle as in P. ustulata n. sp. and P. webbi n. sp. is larger with longitudinal marks on the fore wing veins between apical cells rather than the transverse marks found in P. biolleyi.
Distribution. Specimens have been reported previously from Costa Rica and Panama (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013; 2014).

Odopoea medea Stål 1864: 60 (holotype material in NHRS). Collina medea Distant 1905a: 142.
Procollina medea Metcalf 1963a: 8.
Type locality. Oaxaca, Mexico.
Remarks. The abdominal shape of the species is generally unique to the genus. Only some examples of P. nigrapilosa n. sp. also have the lateral abdomen curved with the greatest expansion at the posterior of segment 3 rather than the slightly curved abdominal sides for the majority of their length found in most species. Body length of holotype is 26 mm with a wingspan of 75 mm (measured from image of holotype). Procollina medea can be distinguished from P. biolleyi, P. obesa, P. ustulata n. sp. and P. webbi n. sp. by the bronzing of the fore wing in these species. Similarly, P. guatemalensis n. sp., P. mayaensis n. sp. and P. ulnamaculata n. sp. can be distinguished by the spots in the fore wing ulnar cells 2 and 3 not found in this new species. Procollina parva n. sp. can be distinguished by its head being as wide or wider than the mesonotum and P. minima n. sp. can be distinguished by its small body size and radiomedial crossvein being highly angled with respect to the radial crossvein. The distal fore wing medial veins lack infuscation between the proximal vein divergence and the distal L-shaped infuscation P. convexa n. sp., P. mesomaculata n. sp., P. nuevoleonensis n. sp., P. tamaulipasensis n. sp.
which are spotted in this species. The lack of infuscation in the hind wing margin distinguishes P. medea from P. hondurensis n. sp., P. nicaraguaensis n. sp., P. nigrapilosa n. sp. and P. querateroensis.
Distribution. This species has the greatest reported range for a species of Procollina with specimens being reported previously from Mexico and Costa Rica (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013; 2014).

RV Nunes & GM De-la- Torre [3♂, 2♀ CEMT]; Floresta. Reserva Biológica Serra Negra. XII-2012. RV Nunes & GM De-la-Torre [4♂ CEMT].
Diagnosis. This species is separated of the other species in the group by the following combination of characters: cephalic carina very low, with a weak pair of tubercles (Figs 6 A–C); males excavation at the anterior portion of the hypomeron bearing few sparse setae; females excavation at the hypomeron very weak, almost absent; pronotal disc wrinkled and bearing deep punctures (Figs 6 A–C) and elytral interstriae strongly wrinkled and lacking distinct punctures (Figs 1 E, 6A–B). This species has a detailed description in the work of Martínez and Pereira (1967) and therefore does not need a re-description.
Distribution. Since its description, D. machadoi has been collected only in "Brejo de Altitude" forests at the Biological Reserve of Serra Negra, municipalities of Floresta, Inajá and Tacaratu Pernambuco, Brazil (Fig. 7). The Brejo de Altitude forests are moist forests found on the higher parts of hills and plateaus in the Brazilian Caatinga, a semi-arid brazilian biome.

description: For a smooth projective toric variety of Picard rank two we classify all exceptional sequences of invertible sheaves which have maximal length. In particular, we prove that unlike non-maximal sequences, they (a) remain exceptional under lexicographical reordering, (b) satisfy strong spatial constraints in the Picard lattice, and (c) are full, that is, they generate the derived category of the variety.

description: Este artículo se basa en los animal studies y en los estudios de género para analizar la novela Matate, amor (2012), de la escritora argentina Ariana Harwicz. Propone que el vínculo que su protagonista establece con un ciervo, específicamente a través de la mirada animal, es clave para comprender el retrato de ambivalencia materna de la obra, así como los límites del lenguaje para su representación. Se estudian, así, los intentos de resistencia de la protagonista al rol tradicional de madre y esposa, y se le posiciona, junto con el ciervo, dentro de un continuum de lo viviente (Giorgi) para examinar las potencialidades de sus intercambios, que, despojados de significantes, exceden la significación (Derrida).

Kanieae Peter G.Wilson ex Reveal, Phytoneuron 2012–37: 217 (2012), isonym.
Type: Kania Schlr.
Trees or shrubs; leaves opposite. Inflorescence axillary, cymes or panicles; flowers yellow; stamens free, in a single whorl on the hypanthial rim, evenly spaced or, occasionally, grouped opposite the petals; anthers with elongated connectives. Style terminal on the ovary; ovules scattered on basal placentas that are remote from the style. Fruit a capsule, exserted from the hypanthium; seeds linear; embryo straight; cotyledons lying face-to-face.
A monogeneric tribe of ~10 species that occurs only in Malesia (New Guinea and the Philippines). Fossil evidence (Tarran et al. 2016, 2017) indicates that Kania may have been present in Australia in the late Eocene to Oligo-Miocene.
Nomenclatural note
Reveal (2012, p. 217) questioned the validity of the tribal name given in Wilson et al. (2005) and republished the tribe as ‘ Kanieae Peter G.Wilson ex Reveal, trib. nov., based on Kanioideae Engl.’, with the presumed implication that the simultaneous publication of Kanioideae and Kanieae by Engler (1930) made the latter name superfluous. However, alternative advice (W. Greuter, pers. comm., 2014) is that the name Kanieae was validly published and that the Reveal name is an isonym.

Collina obesa Distant 1906: 384 (type material in BMNH, BMNH(E) #651543). Procollina obesa Metcalf 1963a: 8.
Type locality. Unknown.
Remarks. Body length of holotype is 21 mm with a wingspan of 52 mm (Distant 1906). The bronzing of the fore wings is very light in this species and is about two-thirds the size of P. biolleyi, P. ustulata n. sp. and P. webbi n. sp., the only other species with bronzed fore wings. This species is unique in the small spots of infuscation within all fore wing cells.
Distribution. There are no known localities where the species has been collected. The species is represented by the holotype collected from an unknown locality (Metcalf 1963a).

Type: Tristaniopsis Brongn. & Gris.
Trees or occasionally shrubs. Inflorescences determinate (panicles, metabotryoids, thyrsoids or cymes). Flowers whitish to yellow. Stamens usually in multiple whorls (not in Mitrantia) and grouped opposite petals, sometimes fused into fascicles. Style-bases not adjacent to placentas, ovules often arranged in circular or semi-circular series. Fruit a capsule, frequently exserted from the fruiting hypanthium (except in Sphaerantia). Seeds various; hypocotyl straight and cotyledons sometimes foliaceous. Hypanthium vascularisation not reduced to 5 main veins.
A tribe comprising seven genera, Tristaniopsis, Lysicarpus, Barongia, Sphaerantia, Ristantia, Mitrantia, and Basisperma. Tristaniopsis is a genus of ~50 species, with a distribution extending from Myanmar and Thailand in the north, through Malesia and extending to eastern Australia and New Caledonia. The remaining genera are small, comprising between one and three species, and are narrow endemics in Papua New Guinea (Basisperma) and Queensland.
Relationships within the tribe
The phylogenies show some well supported groupings of genera within the new tribe. The three genera Sphaerantia, Ristantia and Mitrantia form a strong subclade (>97% jk, 1.00 PP), agreeing with previous analyses (Wilson et al. 2005) and strongly correlated with pollen morphology (Thornhill et al. 2012 a) and shared presence of oil glands in the pith (P. G. Wilson, pers. obs.). Oil glands in the pith are also a feature of Basisperma (P. G. Wilson, pers. obs.), which was the basis for the comment in Wilson (1982) that Basisperma had no close affinities with the ‘ Kania Alliance’ of Briggs and Johnson (1979). The shared occurrence of oil glands in the pith suggested that the genus was very likely to have affinities with these particular taxa, and this has now been confirmed in genomic analyses (Maurin et al. 2021).

description: Procollina queretaroensis Sanborn, 2007
Procollina queretaroensis Sanborn 2007: 21 (type material in UNAM and AFSC).
Type locality. Km 8 Agua Zarca-La Neblina, 1090 msnm, N21° 15’ 214” W99° 05’ 296”, Queretaro, Mexico.
Remarks. The species is known only the type series collected in Queretaro, Mexico. Body length is 20.58– 22.92 mm and wing span is 64.38–65.68 mm (Sanborn 2007). Procollina queretaroensis n. sp. can be distinguished from P. biolleyi, P. obesa, P. ustulata n. sp. and P. webbi n. sp. by the bronzing of the fore wing in these species. Similarly, P. guatemalensis n. sp., P. mayaensis n. sp. and P. ulnamaculata n. sp. can be distinguished by the spots in the fore wing ulnar cells 2 and 3 not found in this new species. Procollina parva n. sp. can be distinguished by its head being as wide or wider than the mesonotum and P. minima n. sp. can be distinguished by its small body size and radiomedial crossvein being highly angled with respect to the radial crossvein. The distal fore wing medial veins lack infuscation between the proximal vein divergence and the distal L-shaped infuscation in P. convexa n. sp., P. mesomaculata n. sp., P. nuevoleonensis n. sp., P. tamaulipasensis n. sp. which are spotted in this new species. The infuscation in the hind wing margin of P. queretaroensis distinguishes P. medea which lacks this infuscation. Procollina hondurensis n. sp., P. nicraguaensis n. sp. and P. nigrapilosa n. sp. can be distinguished by their larger body size (body length greater than 23 mm).
Distribution. Specimens have been reported previously only from the state of Queretaro, Mexico (Sanborn 2007).

Diagnosis. The male genitalia are close to those of T. depulsata Walker, 1861 (Sulawesi, Borneo) for both having a small scobinate valva basal process, an almost quadrate sacculus, and a tongue-like harpe, which is smaller than in T. immissaria. However the harpe is much smaller in T. maipoensis, and bigger and rounded in T. depulsata. The posterior margin of the male eighth sternite is shallowly concave and arc-like, whereas it is more deeply concave in T. depulsata. T. maipoensis is different from other congeners by the lack of setal patches on the third sternite, and because the hind tibia is not dilated and lacks a hair-pencil and terminal extension.
Distribution. China (Hong Kong).

Diagnosis. T. opalina is close to T. opalinoides Holloway, 1996 (Borneo) externally and on genitalia. On wing pattern, T. opalina lacks the distinctive feature that Holloway (1996) indicated for T. opalinoides i.e. — the ground colour grades darker towards the postmedial lines from the base and is abruptly paler just distal to them. In the male genitalia, T. opalina shares a spine-like valva basal process, a large blunt ampulla and a slender spine-like harpe with T. opalinoides. However in T. opalinoides, a scobinate, semicircular plate at the base of valva basal process is present. The sacculus is more strongly developed in T. opalina than in T. opalinoides, with a sclerotized and spinulose ventral margin. The aedeagus has a blunt posterior process and an acute cornutus, but both of these processes are acute in T. opalinoides. The male eighth sternite is identical to that of T. opalinoides in that the posterior margin is deeply rounded and concave, with two blunt protrusions. The female genitalia are almost identical to those of T. opalinoides. Both species bear a Y-shaped signum, which bears a tiny pointed process on the end of each branch. The lamella postvaginalis is a pair of sclerotized blunt protrusions, which are joined anteriorly.
Distribution. China (Taiwan, Hainan, Guangxi, Yunnan), India, Thailand.
