Chernovskiia

description: Chernovskiia Saether
Chernovskiia Saether, 1977: 107 –108.
The males of Chernovskiia are very similar to Paracladopelma Harnisch, both having clubbed or pediform superior volsella covered microtrichiae. However, the males can be distinguished from Paracladopelma by not having the inferior volsella developed as a distinct lobe (Cranston et al. 1989). The larvae of Chernovskiia are rather distinctive, having a strongly curved mandible with a very long apical tooth, strongly concave mentum with heavily striated, coarsely crenated ventromental plate, and body segments subdivided, so the body seems to consist of twenty segments (Pinder & Reiss 1983).
Saether (1977) included three species in Chernovskiia, namely C. orbicus (Townes, 1945), C. macrocera Saether, 1977, and C. amphitrite (Townes, 1945), the last species is Nearctic. Keys or differentiation diagnoses to the species were given by Saether (1977), and Pinder and Reiss (1983); Saether’s key to the larvae includes only two species, C. orbicus and C. macrocera.
There are two records of Chernovskiia from Japan. Kondo et al. (1990: 175) listed C. orbicus from Tamanoi (Kiso River, about 38 km from the mouth), Kisogawa Town, Aichi Prefecture, June 1987; and Kitagawa (1997a: 163–164) described the larva of Chernovskiia sp. CA. from Kiso River, near Tamanoi. As the former specimen is lost, the record could not be verified.

(Fig. 3)
Chernovskiia orbicus (Townes, 1945: 151).
Material examined. JAPAN: Gifu Prefecture, Hajima City, Kiso River, 32–34 km from mouth, 2 larvae, 1996, 1997, N.
Kitagawa (Kitagawa’s code 8210-1, 2).
Larva [Characteristics of C. macrocera according to Saether (1977) and Pinder and Reiss (1983) in brackets]. Head. Basal antennal segment about as long as 2nd and 3rd segments combined [basal segment shorter than 2nd segment]; antennal blade placed medially on 4th segment (Figs. 3A, B) [on 3rd segment]. Mandible (Fig. 3C) lacking inner teeth [with single, triangular inner tooth]. Premandible (Fig. 3E) with 3 teeth pointed apically, brush absent. Mentum (Fig. 3D) pale, anterior margin strongly concave [almost semi-circular], with broad, subrectangular [triangular] median tooth and 5 pairs of lateral teeth, the 2 outer pairs smaller than the remaining [the 2 outer pairs much larger than remaining teeth and curved inwards subapically]. Prementohypopharynx complex (Fig. 3F) with pair of long, cowhorn-like projections [not mentioned by Saether (1977) or Pinder and Reiss (1983)].
Body. Nine subdivided anterior segments (Fig. 3G). Anal tubules (Fig. 3H) long, slender. According to Pinder and Reiss (1983), the subdivision of the anterior segments is due to elongation of the intersegmental region and may be an artifact of the preservation.
Remarks. As mentioned in the description, the features of Kitagawa’s larvae coincide well with those of Chernovskiia orbicus (Townes, 1945) (see Saether 1977: 109, 111). Thus, even if no adults are available, it can be concluded that C. orbicus undoubtedly occur in Japan.

Distribution: Norway (Graff, 1905), Greenland (Steinböck, 1932).
According to Graff’s (1905, 1913) description, the overall morphology of the copulatory organ resembles that of T. penicillatum. The two plate-like structures differ somewhat in shape, ending both proximally as well as distally in a hook-like structure (see Graff, 1905: taf. 3, fig. 24). The bursal appendage is described as resembling that of T. venenosum. The position of the pharynx in the middle of the body is exceptional for a member of Trigonostomum and new material is needed to confirm the validity and/or the taxonomy of this species.

description: Robackia Saether
Robackia Saether, 1977: 123.
Saether (1977) erected the genus Robackia recognizing three species, R. demeijerei (Kruseman, 1933), R. claviger (Townes, 1945), and R. pilicauda Saether, 1977, and provided keys to the larvae (except R. pilicauda), pupae, and males. R. demeijerei is recorded from the Russian Far East (Makarchenko et al. 2000); R. pilicauda from North Korea and China (Reiss 1980; Wang et al. 1991).
Within the Harnischia complex, the males of Acalcarella Shilova, Robackia, and Parachironomus Lenz are similar in having a small inferior volsella and a digitiform superior volsella that is more than 2.5 times as long as wide. Robackia has a clavate gonostylus, which is widest near apex (Cranston et al. 1989). The larva of Robackia differs from other Chironomini with the exceptions of Beckidia and Demicryptochironomus Lenz in possessing 7 antennal segments and a slender, seta-like SII (Pinder & Reiss 1983).
There are five previous records of Robackia from Japan: Kitagawa (1997a: 165–166, as Robackia sp. RA, Kiso River, Gifu Prefecture, description); Tojo et al. (1997: 54, as Robackia sp., Surigami River, Fukushima Prefecture, catalog); Kato et al. (2003: 332, as Robackia sp., Kizu River, Kyohtanabe, Kyoto Prefecture, catalog); Inoue et al. (2003: 336, as Robackia sp., Kizu River, Kyohtanabe, Kyoto Prefecture, catalog); Kitagawa (2005: 33, 35, as Robackia sp. RB, Kumano River, Mie / Wakayama Prefectures, catalog). Further, Yamamoto (2001: 253, Fig. 232; 2005: 1140, Fig. 108) mentioned that he had found Robackia sp. larvae and redrew the figure of the male hypopygium of R. claviger from Saether (1977: 127, Fig. 46C), but did not give any information on the distribution of the genus in Japan. Since all records of Robackia from Japan have been based on larvae only, the identity of the species has not been known.

Marinellia lingulifera

description: MARINELLIA LINGULIFERA RIEDL, 1954
Marinellia lingulifera Riedl, 1954: 223–231, figs 30– 32.
Distribution: Mediterranean Sea (Riedl, 1954).
This species was considered by Riedl (1954) to be a close relative of Trigonostomum, mainly based on the presence of an antero-ventral invagination forming a kind of ‘proboscis’. Other features in which M. lingulifera resembles Trigonostomum species are the pharynx, which is strongly inclined forwards and shows very strong external muscles and weak radial ones (Riedl, 1954: 227), the double connection in the female system (Riedl, 1954: fig. 31), the presence of a bursa (Riedl, 1954: fig. 31: rs) with a long and narrow bursal stalk, paired ovovitellaria and a bursal appendage that consists of two coiled tubes, fused at their base (Riedl, 1954: 225). Three other features of M. lingulifera are not found in any Trigonostomum species: the presence of a muscular tongue in front of the pharynx (Riedl, 1954: 227–228, fig. 31: z), a muscular septum connecting the invagination with the pharynx (Riedl, 1954: fig. 31: ms), and an unpaired seminal vesicle (Riedl, 1954: 226). Ax (1971) considered M. lingulifera to be the sister group of Trigonostomum, based only on the presence of the antero-ventral invagination. There is, however, no material of this species available and some of the observations, such as the unpaired seminal vesicle, the detailed structure of the copulatory organ and the invagination certainly need confirmation. In addition, the copulatory organ and the bursal appendage are insufficiently described and not even figured in the original description.

description: Saetheria Jackson
Saetheria Jackson, 1977: 1325.
Jackson (1977) separated the genus Saetheria from the closely related genus Paracladopelma Harnisch basically on the immature stages. However, the males can be separated on the shape of the anal tergite bands, Saetheria has strongly Y-shaped anal tergite bands, while in Paracladopelma the anal tergite bands are either absent, or completely or partly fused, T- or shallowly Y- shaped (Cranston et al. 1989). Larvae of Saetheria have a 6 segmented antenna, while in Paracladopelma the antenna is 5 segmented (Jackson 1977; Pinder & Reiss 1983).
In Japan, there have been 10 records of Saetheria, based on larvae only. The absence of records of adults has puzzled the author. However, during the present study six males of S. tylus (Townes, 1945) were found. Furthermore, three species described as males only, namely Paracladopelma nagaraelongata Sasa, 1989, P. kisopediformis Sasa et Kondo, 1993, and Parachironomus taishoabeus Sasa et Tanaka, 2001, all proved to be junior synonyms of S. tylus.
Due to the lack of associated adults, it is not possible to ascertain the species identity of the 10 previous larval records: Kitagawa (1998, as Saetheria sp. A, tributary to Kizu River, Mie Prefecture, catalog); Kitagawa (1997b, as Saetheria sp. SA, Lake Biwa, Shiga, description); Kitagawa (2000, as Saetheria sp. SA, Muko River, Hyogo Prefecture, catalog); Kitagawa (2001, as Saetheria sp. SB, Tokoro River and Kushiro Rivers, Hokkaido, catalog); Kitagawa (2003, as Saetheria sp. SD, Kawabe River, Kumamoto Prefecture, catalog); Kitagawa (2003, as Saetheria sp. SE, tributary to Takahari River, Okayama Prefecture, catalog); Kitagawa (2004, as Saetheria sp. SF, tributary to Shinano River, Niigata Prefecture, catalog; and as Saetheria sp. SG, tributaries to Shinano River, Nagano Prefecture, catalog); Kitagawa (2005, as Saetheria sp. SH, tributary to Nagara River, Gifu Prefecture, catalog); Inoue et al. (2003, as Saetheria sp., Kizu River, Kyohtanabe, Kyoto Prefecture, catalog).
Jackson (1977) recognized three species of Saetheria, namely S. tylus (Townes, 1945), S. reissi Jackson, 1977 and S. sp. 1 (pupa and larva only), and described the larva of S. tylus and sp. 1, but not of S. reissi. Subsequently, Saether (1983) described the female, pupa and larva of a fourth species, S. hirta Saether, 1983, from South Carolina, U.S.A. Saetheria reissi was recorded from the Sakhalin Island by Makarchenko et al. (2005) and from North Korea by Reiss (1980); S. tylus from the Russian Far East by Makarchenko et al. (2005).

Paraphysifer wilsoni Sinaiko & Dietrich, 2020: 391, figs 1–3, syn. n.
Note. The species was described from Austria (Kirschbaum, 1868) where it is very rare now and found only in Eastern part of the country in Neusliedlersee National Park (Holzinger & Fröhlich, 2006). Currently it is widely distributed in the Palaearctic region from Europe to northwestern China (Nast, 1972; Mitjaev, 2002; Mitjaev & Huang, 1995) living on Aeluropus littoralis and Alopecurus sp. (Poaceae) (Emeljanov, 1964; Mitjaev, 1971, 2002; Tishechkin, 2000). Comparisons of type specimens of P. wilsoni from Israel to specimens of P. pictipennis from various parts of its known range in the collection of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) indicate that these species cannot be distinguished morphologically and should be treated as synonyms. The two species share the same shape of sac-like aedeagus with equally broad dorsal and ventral lobes. They also share the presence of a fully articulated paraphysis bearing a dorsal extension which is strongly produced and elongated posteriorly, ending in a sharp tip, and the same sharply produced edge of male subgenital plates. They also display the same coloration scheme, as described and illustrated by Sinaiko & Dietrich (2020). Linnavuori (1962) included P. pictipennis in his checklist of the leafhoppers of Israel, suggesting that the type series of P. wilsoni belongs to the same population of P. pictipennis studied by Linnavuori, but we were unable to examine these specimens.

Neopius Gahan, 1917: 203. Type species (by original designation): Neopius carinaticeps Gahan, 1917 (= Opius rudis Wesmael, 1835).
Diagnosis. Occipital carina complete dorsally and crenulate in dorsal and lateral view; frons distinctly granulate; mandible normal, gradually widened basally; hypoclypeal depression variable; anterior margin of pronotum sculptured, notauli elongated at least until half of mesoscutum; medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum present; precoxal sulcus sculptured; propodeum densely sculptured; vein 3-SR of fore wing distinctly longer than vein 2-SR, vein m-cu of fore wing postfurcal, second submarginal cell narrowing outwards, CU1b short and apically absent, first subdiscal cell open; first tergite as long as apical width, second tergite as long as third tergite and sparsely granulate-punctate, ovipositor sheath short.
Biology. Parasitoids of Agromyzidae, including species Agromyza megalopsis Hering 1933 and Agromyza nigripes Meigen, 1830.
Comments. Neopius Gahan was considered a synonym of the genus Euopius Fischer, 1967 (Fischer, 1967). Later, Fischer (1972) included Neopius Gahan as a synonym of the former subgenus Xynobius Foerster, 1863 in Opius Wesmael, 1835. In 2005, this genus was proposed as a subgenus of the genus Xynobius (Papp, 2005). Quicke et al. (1997) included Neopius as a subgenus in Phaedrotoma Foerster, 1863 because its venom apparatus is very similar to those of other Phaedrotoma species examined, and it has no apomorphies in common with Xynobius or Opius s.s. However, Neopius differs from other subgenera of Phaedrotoma in having a medio-dorsally complete occipital carina and granulate frons, and the molecular data presented in Li et al. (2013) indicated that Neopius is not closely related to Phaedrotoma, so it is treated here as an independent genus of Opiinae with its own apomorphies (occipital carina secondarily complete dorsally and frons distinctly granulate).
