Brinckiella serricauda

description: Brinckiella serricauda n. sp.
(Figs. 2 K–L; 3L, M; 5B)
Type locality. Republic of South Africa: Northern Cape, 8.5 km N of Garies, on rt. N7 (30°29'39''S, 17°56'31.2''E), 476 m, 5.x.2008, coll. P. Naskrecki - female holotype (SAMC)
Diagnostic description (female, male unknown) – General characteristics as for the genus, diagnostic characters listed below. This species can be identified by the unique shape of the female subgenital plate (Fig. 2 K), the overall shape of the ovipositor, and the presence of a distinct serration along the upper edge of the upper valvula (Fig. 3 L.)
Thorax. Lateral lobe of pronotum about as high as long; anterior margin of pronotum flat, broadly rounded; metazona flat, posterior edge of metazona straight.
Legs. Genicular lobes of front femur armed with two small spines on both sides. Genicular lobes of mid femur armed with two small spines on both sides. Genicular lobes of hind femur unarmed.
Abdomen. Female subgenital plate short and wide, about 3 times as wide as long, posterior margin straight (Fig. 2 K.)
Ovipositor. Ovipositor straight, slightly longer than half of hind femur, dorsal edge of upper valvula straight (Fig. 2 L), distincty serrated along its entire length (Fig. 3 L); apex pointed, with minute dentitions on both lower and upper valvulae.
Egg. Egg elongate, cylindrical in crosssection, distinctly curved (Fig. 3 M.)
Coloration. Coloration green with red and white markings (Fig. 5 B), antennae concolorous; antennal scapus without markings. Face pale green; eyes uniformly colored. Pronotum green, with light red band on lateral lobe, continuous with band on thorax and abdomen. Legs unicolorous, green; abdominal sterna with median white stripe and pair of lateral, longitudinal white stripes; abdominal terga green with wide, light red bands bilaterally; subgenital plate without markings; ovipositor green, apex brown.
Measurements (1 female). total body: 21.1; body: 15.5; pronotum: 3; hind femur: 14.3; front femur: 6.8; mid femur: 6.8; ovipositor: 8 mm.
Material examined. Republic of South Africa: Northern Cape, Namakwa Distr., 8.5 km N of Garies, on rt. N7, elev. 476 m (30°29'39''S, 17°56'31.2''E), 5.x.2008, coll. P. Naskrecki (RSA _36) - 1 female (holotype) (SAMC).
Etymology. Named with reference to the serrated upper valvula of the ovipositor.
Remarks. This species is unique among other species of the genus in the shape and armature of the ovipositor. The straight shape and distinct serration of the upper valvula probably indicate that the ovipositor is being used as a saw to open up plant tissues.

Specimens collected in Iceland during the BIOICE survey (66°1972N–19°3543E, 183m) stored in the MNHN collection were examined to complete the description of the anatomical characters of this poorly known species. The body is globular on a thick but soft peduncle anchored by rhizoids (Fig. 11 A). The largest specimen was 2cm long. The tunic is naked, vitreous and thin. Both siphons are sessile and with an undulated rim. The body wall is thin. The siphon muscles are weak and do not extend upon the body wall. About 10 muscular ribbons cross transversally the left body side and dichotomise only at their ventral and dorsal extremities (Fig. 11 B). The oral tentacles, about 60, are long and thin, planted on a thick rod. The dorsal tubercle is U-shaped placed in a flat V of the pre-pharyngeal groove. The dorsal languets are pointed, followed by a retro-pharyngeal band as long as the dorsal lamina. The branchial sac (Fig. 11 E) extends posteriorly to the oesophagus and has 25 rows of 25 spiral stigmata per half row, and 35 longitudinal vessels on each side. The stimata are flat in 4 turns and not interrupted. The gut forms an open loop (Fig. 11 B,D). The oesophagus is narrow, the stomach globular with a wall showing ampullae rather than true folds. The rectum is dorsal, it ends in a wide anus with 5 petal-like lobes (Fig. 11 C). The gonad is entirely included inside the wide open gut loop (Fig. 11 D). The testis is made of small densely packed vesicles and lies close to the stomach and above the ovary (Fig. 11 D). Few sperm ducts arise from the testis mass, joining in a single duct on the internal side of the ovary. The sperm duct turns around the ovary and follows the intestine and rectum before opening against the anus. The ovary is massive; the oviduct is linked to the rectum. Corella borealis is recorded only from the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. It differs from the other European species by the design of the left side musculature and the gonad shape.

Camptopteroides (Camptopteroides) armata Viggiani: Huber & Lin, 1999: 32.
Diagnosis. MALE. Body dark brown; fore wing with uneven brown tinge. Antenna (Fig. 28) slender; scape with faint sculpture; flagellum 10-segmented, with fl 2 very short, ring-like, and all segments without mps but with setae. Mesoscutum with reticulate sculpture (Fig. 29). Fore wing (Fig. 30) with moderately pointed apex, 9.1× as long as wide, longest marginal seta about 3.3× maximum wing width. Digitus of genitalia with two spines.
Type material. Holotype male (MHNG) on slide (Fig. 26) labeled: 1. “ Ceylon Hatton, 9.11.1970 1400 m. Montagne boisée à l’est de la ville. Tamisage au forêt”; 2. “ Camptopteroides armata n. gen. n. sp. Olotipe [sic] ♂ det. G. VIGGIANI 1974 coll. BESUCHET-LÖBL”; 3. “Prép. micr. MHNG No ENTO 84605”.
Distribution. Sri Lanka.
Remarks. This species is known from a single specimen, the holotype male, collected by the coleopterists C. Besuchet and I. Löbl by sifting in forest (almost certainly of soil and leaf litter and then extracting specimens using Winkler funnels). The holotype is poorly mounted in a darkened, water-soluble Faure medium. Only its digital images were examined (Figs 27–30).

Described from a single specimen 4mm in diameter from the English Channel and never recorded again, this species may be a juvenile of C. parallelogramma a status already suggested but not retained by its author. The muscle design supports this hypothesis and a synonymy between the two species.

NOTE
According to Browicz 1972, this species which is distributed in Armenia and northeast Turkey, was observed among herbarium specimens at HKS (Fig. 2A). C. transcaucasicus is the closest relative of C. nummularius Fisch.& C.A.Mey. (Browicz 1972). Generally, these species have some similarities in features of leaves (size) fruit color (red), calyx orientation, indumentum of all parts except in sepals. On the other hand, there are a few remarkable differences between these species: C. transcaucasicus is distinguished by obovate leaves with cuneate base and widely rounded-emarginate apex (Fig. 2B) and tomentose sepals in fruit from C. ellipticus with elliptic- ovate leaves widely cuneate to rounded base, obtuse apex and glabrous sepals.

Asetiabacarus

description: Asetiabacarus n. gen.
Body spindleform, prodorsal shield with a broad based frontal lobe. Scapular tubercles set on rear shield margin, scapular setae (sc) directed posteriorly. Coxae I with a sternal line; coxae with 3 pairs of tubercles and setae. Leg II genual setae (l´´) absent; empodium simple. Opisthosoma divided into broad dorsal annuli and narrow ventral annuli; dorsum with median ridge and two lateral ridges; median ridge ending before lateral ridges. Female genital coverflap with two ranks of longitudinal ridges.
Type species: Asetiabacarus maesae n. sp.
Note: This new genus is close to Abacarus Keifer, 1944, differing in the absence of leg II genual setae. Three species of Abacarus, Abacarus afer Keifer, 1962, Abacarus officinari Keifer, 1975 and Abacarus setariae Keifer, 1976 apparently do not present a seta on genu II, based only on his drawings, and might prove to be members of the new genus. Since we have not had the opportunity of examining Keifer’s specimens, for the time being these three species should be considered "incertae sedis".
Etymology: Aseti, meaning “absent setae”. The genus name refers to this new genus that is close to Abacarus Keifer.

Petrarctus veliger Holthuis 2002: 541, figs. 15–17 (type locality: Andaman Sea, south Burma).—Chan 2010: 161.
Material examined. Yilan County, Dasi fishing port, commercial trawler, 24 Dec 2003, 1 female 19.4 mm cl (NMMBCD4008).
Diagnosis. Body robust and rough, with tubercles high and depressions deep. Rostrum sharp. Pregastric tooth absent. Gastric and cardiac teeth highly elevated as large triangles. Anterior and posterior branchial carinae well developed, separated by wide but shallow cervical groove. Medial incision at posterior margin of carapace deep. Abdomen with wide transverse grooves and high median carinae. Articulating surfaces of abdominal tergites without setose grooves. Non-articulating surface of abdominal tergites distinctly covered with many flattened tubercles on either side of transverse grooves. Abdominal median carinae highest on somite III. Posterior margins of abdominal tergites I–III medially incised, that at tergite III rather weak. Abdominal pleura II–IV terminating in blunt angle. Anterior margin of antennal segment VI with 6 long blunt teeth. Antennal segment IV without additional ridge, anterior and outer margins each bearing 3 or 4 teeth. Dactylus of pereiopod II longest in all pereiopods. Anterior end of thoracic sternum with deep “U”-shaped notch followed by a medial suture, lateral border highly elevated. Thoracic sternites without median tubercle.
Coloration. Body generally dark greenish brown. Anterior half of carapace covered with a large wide “V”- shaped white marking. Eyes dark brown. Abdominal tergite I orange with large median black spot.
Distribution. Known with certainty from the Andaman Sea, the Philippines and Taiwan, at depths of 69– 300 m.
Remarks. The genus Petrarctus includes four species of which two were reported from Taiwan, namely P. brevicornis (Holthuis, 1946) and P. rugosus (H. Milne Edwards, 1837). Petrarctus veliger can be readily distinguished from the other species of the genus in the gastric and cardiac teeth being excessively high and triangular. The coloration of the present species is known for the first time and differs from P. brevicornis and P. rugosus in the abdominal tergite I being orangish with a median black spot instead of evenly bluish (see Chan & Yu 1986, 1993).

NOTE
This species is morphologically close to C. kotschyi (C. K. Schneid.) G. Klotz. The latter species is widely distributed in Iran (Riedl 1969; Khatamsaz 1992). However, C. minutus differs from the C. kotschyi by the small (up to 7 mm vs 6-14 mm in length) and orbicular leaves (vs elliptic-ovate) and the light red fruits (vs black- purple) (Fig. 3A, B). This species occurs in Afghanistan, Kashmir (Fryer & Hylmö 2009) and Iran.

NOTE
This species is morphologically close to C. persicus Pojark. (Raei Niaki 2019) The latter is widely distributed in Fars, Isfahan, and Kerman provinces (Khatamsaz 1992). Leaves of both species are small and ovate with red fruits. However, C. afghanicus differs from C. persicus in its obtuse to rounded apex of leaves (vs acute), base of leaves rounded to obtuse (vs cuneate to narrowly cuneate), and 1-4 flowers per inflorescence (vs 5-8 flowers) (Fig. 4A, B). This species occurs in Afghanistan, Kashmir (Fryer & Hylmö 2009) and Iran.

SPECIMENS EXAMINED. — Iran. Province Khorasan, Bojnord, 37°50’31”N, 57°31’25”E, 1593 m, 03.X.2009, Memariani, Zangooei & Arjmandi 43351, 43353 (FUMH); Chenaran, Ferizi, 36°4’49”N, 58°4’43”E, 2050 m, 31.X.2009, Arjmandi & Zangooei 43442 (FUMH).
NOTE
The closest morphologically relative of C. aitchisonii is C. suavis Pojark. (Raei Niaki 2019). They share many similar characters, e.g., habit, the large leaves with a villose lower surface, long petiole (c. 4-12), dense inflorescence (7-15 flowers), and navel open in fruit. C. aitchisonii can be readily separated from C. suavis by its obovate leaves (vs elliptic- rhombic), leaves apex rounded to acute (Fig. 5A, B) (vs obtuse), red fruit (vs black), succulent fruits of 7-10 mm diam., (vs non-succulent of 6-8 mm diam. fruit) (Fig. 5). This species occurs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir (Fryer & Hylmö 2009) and Iran.

description: Tribe Hesperapini Ascher & Engel
Eremaphantina Engel, new subtribe
ZooBank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: E983673C-524A-4EDC-AC8F-DD03451D80F9
TYPE GENUS: Eremaphanta Popov, 1940.
DIAGNOSIS: Small bees (4–7 mm in length), often with yellow maculation, at least on face and/or legs; maxillary stipes with distinct, large, apical concavity on ventral/ posterior margin (stipital concavity); galeal comb present anterior to maxillary palpus, galeal fringe present; metabasitibial plate present; inner surface of female metatibia with mediolongitudinal keirotrichiate zone; forewing with basal vein arched; two submarginal cells (i.e., 1rs-m absent, sensu Engel, 2001); pterostigma transparent, about as long as or slightly longer than costal margin of marginal cell; propodeal profile with basal area horizontal, basal area about as a long as vertical surface; prepygidial fimbria of female absent; pygidial fimbria of female absent; pygidial plate of female present; pygidial plate of male absent; male gonostylus simple, not enlarged.
INCLUDED GENERA: The subtribe presently includes only the type genus, Eremaphanta Popov, with three subgenera: Eremaphanta s.str., Popovapis Michener, and Eremaphantella n. subgen. (vide Appendix). It could be argued that these groups are best recognized as individual genera, but such a change is not advocated here.
COMMENTS: The recognition of the present group serves to emphasize the rather disparate morphological and biogeographic distinction between the included species and those of nominate subtribe, of the genera Hesperapis Cockerell and Capicola Friese. While features such as the genitalia, galeal comb, rather flattened metasoma, and metatibial keirotrichiate band are indicative of hesperapine monophyly (Engel, 2005; Michez & Patiny, 2006), the two subtribes exhibit apparently relic distributions across different zoogeographic regions (Palearctic/Oriental versus Nearctic/Afrotropical). The eremaphantines are the only Hesperapini occurring in xeric areas of Central Asia southwest to Iran and the eastern Arabian Peninsula and southeast to Pakistan (overlapping with the tribe Dasypodaini), while the remaining lineages of the tribe are restricted to North America, South Africa, and Namibia.
