Pteronemobius truncates

description: Pteronemobius (Pteronemobius) truncates Zhang, Wang & Liu sp. nov.
(Figs. 6–7, 16–18)
Type material. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan, Cangyuan, Banhong, 1.VIII.2013, leg. Yanju Dong. Paratypes: 1♂ 2♀, the data same as the holotype; 2♂ 2♀, CHINA, Yunnan, Longchuan, Long’an, 7.VIII.2003, leg. Yanju Dong.
Diagnosis. This new species is similar to Pteronemobius (Pteronemobius) indicus (Walker, 1869), but differs from the latter by the lateral lobes of epiphallus short, truncated, and shorter than ectoparameres.
Description. Male (Fig. 6). Body small-sized and pubescent. Frontal rostrum and feet with black bristles; occiput flat; lateral ocelli ovoid, median ocellus circular; frontal rostrum narrow, almost equal to the width of scapus; apical joint of maxillary palpi longer than the third, rodlike; apical joint of labial palpi horseshoe, truncated at apex. Anterior margin of pronotum narrowed, slightly widened posteriorly, and the anterior and posterior margins nearly straight. Tegmina long, extending over apex of abdomen, with an oblique vein, mirror irregular; hind wings absence. Fore tibiae with an ovoid external tympanum, without internal tympanum; hind tibiae with 3 external dorsal spines and 4 internal dorsal spines, apex with 6 spurs.
Subgenital plate trapezoidal, posterior margin truncated and slightly emarginated in middle. Genitalia (Figs.16– 18): epiphallus distinctly transverse, and with membranous middle part; lateral lobes of epiphallus rather shorter the ectoparameres, with truncated apex.
Female (Fig. 7). Body very similar to that of male. Tegmina nearly extending to 7 th tergite of abdomen, dorsal field with 4–5 veins. Subgenital plate with posterior margin deeply emarginated in middle. Ovipositor short, about 0.7 times as long as length of hind femur, with several small teeth on dorsal side.
Coloration. Body dark brown. Head with 4 light longitudinal bands. Pronotum light yellowish brown, lateral field dark brown. Tegmina dark brown. Hind femora with two black spots, bottom 1/5 of femora with yellow bands.
Measurements (mm). Male: body length 5.7–5.8, pronotum 1.4–1.5, tegmina 2.9–3.0; hind femur 4.0–4.2; Female: body length 6.2–7.1, pronotum 1.4–1.5, tegmina 2.6–2.7, hind femur 3.5–3.7, ovipositor 2.3–2.4.
Distribution. China (Yunnan).
Etymology. The specific name is derived from Latin truncat (truncate), referring to apex of lateral lobes of epiphallus truncated.

description: The rapid advancement of basic traffic engineering in China has led to the construction of numerous bridges in mountainous regions, with bedding rock slopes being a common challenge characterized by instability and failure. Researchers in China have made significant strides in studying pile column piers on bedding rock slopes, focusing on pier stability, anti-slide measures, landslide impact, and slope-pier structural stress. This abstract provides an overview of their contributions.

Asura neavi Hampson, 1914, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M., Suppl. I: 767.
Type locality. Uganda; (holotype 3 Arct. g.sl. n. 5 BMNH, examined).
Material examined. Uganda: holotype 3 Arct. g.sl. n. 5 BMNH; Ƥ Arct. g.sl. n. 5748 BMNH.
Diagnosis. Similar to A. emma, but differencing genitalically, and with forewings fringes same as the ground colour (dark in emma). The hindwings marginal dots are diagnostic.
Description. Venation typical for the genus, with hindwings M3 and CuA1 from the same origin; coremata present. Male genitalia with stocky valva; costa with typical undulation; ala valvae distal process cone-shaped; supravalva distal end sub-triangular, as long as the ala valvae; both the valvar distal endings are stout (in A. peripherica hilara they are slender and the ala valvae end is more slender than the supravalva). Uncus long (less so in peripherica hilara). Vesica with cornutus as long as three fifth of aedeagus length (in peripherica hilara the cornutus is similar but bears a large cluster of thorns at the distal end of the aedeagus).
Female A7 frustum of cone-shaped, sclerotized; VIII sternum membranous, VIII tergum sclerotized. Female pheromone glands longer than posterior apophyses. Ostium membranous; ductus bursae well sclerotized, cone-shaped, with the most narrow portion cephalic. Bursa partially sclerotized with a small dimple-shaped signum, internally covered by small thorns. Thorns in the proximal sclerotized portion of the bursa are larger and more scattered.
Remarks. Kühne (2005, 2008) synonymyzed Asura neavi with Asura peripherica but did not cite the material analyzed. Unfortunately, the holotype of peripherica has not been located, but it has been possible to compare the genitalia of the holotype of neavi with the genitalia of the holotype of peripherica hilara (Kiriakoff (1958: 4) provides a differential diagnosis only pertinent to the external features of the two subspecies). Herein, neavi is reinstated to specific rank.

Description. Venation typical for the genus. Male with coremata between A7 and A8 sterna, small sac arising as a cephalic fold of sternum VIII sclerotized anterior margin; androconia absent. VIII tergum large, about half the size of VII tergum, membranous, with median three fifth of anterior margin thickened; two small hook-shaped apodemes pointing cephalad. Uncus typically slender and long, but with a spatulate rather than pointed end. Ala valvae with cluster of thorns halfway along ventral margin, and with distal process bent towards supravalva; small thorns along the upper margin of the distal portion of the supravalva (Fig. 54 A). Vesica with a thorny cornutus, small compared with the average for the genus (Fig. 54 B); additionally with some clusters of small thorns. Female A7 sclerotized and smaller than in other species; A8 small, well sclerotized. Female dorsal pheromone glands as long as the posterior apophyses. Ductus bursae short, Sshaped, membranous, with sclerotized antrum; sinus vaginalis with ostium sclerotized and perfectly annular, with lamella antevaginalis not separable from the ostium, and lamella postvaginalis T-shaped and lengthening caudally. Corpus bursae with two dimple-shaped signa, inside scattered with minute thorns. The genitalic peculiarities of numida suggest that it remain included in Afrasura provisionally for the present.

Holotype: Ƥ. Republic of Guinea, Sidakoro (PNHN), 16/ 18-12-1995. M. Mei legit. Genitalia prep. n. 427 MAD. In coll. MSNS.
Diagnosis. The presence of a V-shaped sclerotization in the ductus bursae, size and position of cervix bursae, and two large signa on the corpus distinguish this new species.
Description. Ƥ wingspan 21 mm. Upperside forewing ground colour light straw yellow, patterned with hazel. The holotype has badly faded wings, but it nevertheless shows typical Afrasura bands -- two basal, one median and one postmedian that bends abruptly at Rs4-M1, with proximal concavity; a submarginal series of dots is present. Upperside hindwing ground colour lighter yellow than forewing. Underside of all wings like the upperside, pattern largely absent; fringes straw yellow. In wing venation, the anastomosis between the subcostal and radial vein is lacking. Head and labial palpi, patagia, tegulae, thorax, abdomen same colour as upperside forewing. Legs same colour as upperside forewing, the distal third of foreleg tibia hazel; all three pairs of legs with dark hazel last tarsomere. Spurs 0, 2, 4. A7 large, membranous, with sternal caudal margin slightly concave. A8 small, membranous. Female pheromone dorsal glands slightly longer than posterior apophyses. Male unknown. Ƥ ostium large, without sclerotizations; antrum large and deep, square in frontal section; ductus 1.5 times length of antrum, slightly widening in cephalic direction up to the heart-like signum of the corpus bursae. Ductus membranous ventrally, dorsally strongly sclerotized with a V-shaped formation with vertex oriented caudally, covered internally by thorns. Cervix ovoid, as large as entire corpus, overlapping dorsally the latter and the ductus; caudally it arches rightward upon the ductus bursae, from which the ductus seminalis arises; at the cephalic end it protrudes in a sub-conical appendix dorsal to the corpus bursae; membranous except for the dorsal band between the two protuberances, strongly sclerotized. Corpus bursae rounded, covered internally by minute thorns, with two large signa: dorsal one rectangular, ventral one heart-like, both covered internally by strong thorns.
Etymology. The species name describes the faded appearance (from Latin pallesco ‘to grow pale’).

Subedi leg.; Rain fed stream amidst subtropical Sal forest; collected by hand.
Discussion. The morphology of the specimens observed agrees with the original description of Coptotettix annandalei. Two different variations in color as mentioned in the original description were also observed: dark grey in the individuals from the rainy season of monsoon (Figure 12C, D, E, F), and paler grey marked with light yellow on the pronotum and hind femora in the individuals from the dry season prior to monsoon (Figure 12A, B, G, H). These forms are well adapted to match the surrounding colors which provide a degree of protection against potential predators and may be considered as wet season and dry season forms.

33. Moina brachiata (Jurine, 1820). Recorded by Pearse (1916) and Álvarez (2010). Palearctic species, but it has been also reported from Africa (Goulden 1968; Smirnov 1976; Kotov et al. 2013a). According to Goulden (1968), this species is absent in the New World, but Elías-Gutiérrez et al. (2008a) reported it from the northern Neotropics. The Colombian specimens should be revised. In Colombia, it occurs in the Caribbean region.
34. Moina eugeniae Olivier, 1954. Recorded by Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012, fig 18). Neotropical species (Smirnov 1976). In Colombia, it occurs in the Caribbean region.
35. Moina micrura Kurz, 1874 s.lat. Recorded by Barón-Rodríguez et al. (2006); Aranguren-Riaño et al. (2011); Gaviria (2001) and Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012, fig 16). A cosmopolitan group needs a detailed revision (Elías-Gutlíerrez et al. 1999; Petrusek et al. 2004; Elías-Gutlíerrez et al. 2008b; Kotov et al. 2013a). In Colombia, it has been reported from the Andean, Amazon and Caribbean regions.

Neotropical species (Paggi 1973; Smirnov 1976; Kotov et al. 2013a). In Colombia, it has been reported from the Andean, Amazon and Caribbean regions.
Moina macrophtalma Stingelin, 1913. Recorded by Stingelin (1913) in Colombia. This species is considered among synonyms of Moina micrura (Kotov et al. 2013a), but if known populations from the Neotropics will be regarded as belonging to a separate species, one of them could be M. macrophthalma.
37. Moina reticulata (Daday, 1905). Recorded by Aranguren-Riaño et al. (2011) and Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012, fig 17). It is considered a Neotropical species (Paggi 1973; Kotov et al. 2013a), while populations from Africa (Lamoot & Dumont 1974) probably belong to a separate, yet undescribed species. In Colombia, it has been reported from the Amazon and Caribbean regions.
38. Moinodaphnia macleayi Herrick, 1887. Recorded by Pearse (1916); Barón-Rodríguez et al. (2006); Aranguren-Riaño et al. (2011); Brehm (1956); Gaviria (2001); Fuentes-Reinés et al. (2012, fig 15) and Fuentes- Reinés (2014a). It is widely distributed in the tropics and subtropics of the Old and New World, penetrating into non-tropical areas of Asia and North America (Goulden 1968). In Colombia, it has been reported from the Andean, Amazon and Caribbean regions. The genus needs to be revised worldwide.

Ilyocryptus sordidus (Liévin, 1848). Recorded by Stingelin (1913). Holartic species (Elmoor-Loureriro, 1998). Its presence in Colombia is doubtful. Unfortunately this record as well as others from South American countries (for example, Elmoor-Loureiro 1997) could not be attributed to any real species, because the papers did not contain a description of diagnostic characters to separate it from its congeners.

Etymology.
The specific epithet refers to the location, Myanmar.
Holotype.
Myanmar, Mandalay Region, Yamethin Township, Segyi Village (30 ° 21 ' 28.188 " N, 112 ° 08 ' 32.136 " E), collected from infected leaves of Helianthus annuus in August 2023 by Khin Nayyi Htut (YZU – H – 2023154, holotype). Ex-type culture (YZU 231736) was also obtained.
Description.
Colonies on PDA are circular, light vinaceous buff with a white halo at the edge, velvety, cottony, honey to white in reverse, 68–70 mm in diameter (Fig. 2 a). On PCA, conidiophores arise directly from lateral or apical aerial hyphae or medium, lightly flexuous, sometimes geniculate at the apex, 27.5–85 (– 90) × 2–4.5 μm, conidia emerge from the apex or geniculate loci, short to long ellipsoid or narrow-ovoid, 10–30 (– 42) × 7–11 μm, 2–5 transverse septa, 2–6 units per chain, beak 3–12 μm (Fig. 2 c, e, g). On V 8 A, conidiophores arise from near the apex of the terminal hyphae, 24–65 (– 70) × 3–5 μm, conidia 8–29 (– 33) × 3–14 μm, 2–5 transverse septa, 3–6 units per chain, beak 1–9 μm (Fig. 2 b, d, f).
Additional isolate examined.
Myanmar, Mandalay Region, Yamethin Township, Segyi Village (30 ° 21 ' 28.188 " N, 112 ° 08 ' 32.136 " E) from the infected leaves of Helianthus annuus, August 2023, Khin Nayyi Htut, living cultures (YZU 231735).
Notes.
This species is phylogenetically grouped with A. koreana, A. orobanches, and A. ovoidea, based on sequences from ITS, GAPDH, RPB 2, TEF 1, Alt a 1, EndoPG, and OPA 10-2 genes. It is distinct from A. koreana and A. ovoidea in its smaller conidial body size, particularly in width, and its sporulation patterns which produce catenulate conidia up to 6 units on PCA and V 8 A media, rather than those of the two closely related species (up to 2 units) on SNA and PDA (Table 3).

description: Afrasura rivulosa ethiopica Durante ssp. n.
(Fig. 30, 56 C)
Holotype: 3, Ethiopia, Menegesha-Suba State forest, 2500 m a.s.l., 21/ 23-2-2003. In coll. MSNS. Paratype: 7 3, data as the holotype. 5 in coll. MAD and 2 in MSNS.
Diagnosis. Wingspan 21–26 mm, larger than rivulosa rivulosa. Wings almost transparent, with ground colour straw yellow, lighter than yellow of rivulosa rivulosa. Wing underside with faint pattern. Male genitalia similar to nominotypical subspecies, apart from the ala valvae distal end that becomes thin more gradually and is shorter.
Remarks. Afrasura rivulosa ethiopica is an interesting example of convergent evolution with Afrasura indecisa orientalis. Some distinguishing characters include: forewing submarginal series consisting of 7–8 similarly sized dots (in A. indecisa the 4 anterior dots are larger than the other 3, which are often obsolete); marginal series of dots present (lacking in A. indecisa); male with ciliated antennae (serratae in A. indecisa).
