description: Helina naivashensis Emden, 1951, stat. nov.
(Figs 32–34)
Examined type material: Holotype male seen; right wing damaged at tip. One paratype from Kenya (Naivasha) dissected and illustrated.
Diagnosis. Fore tarsus with claws and pulvilli very long in male, and apical tarsomere dilated at apex; hind femur with numerous very long, setulose anteroventral and posteroventral hairs; hind tibia with long anteroventral and ventral hairs, one long posterior, and long erect posterior to posteroventral hairs on apical third.
Male terminalia. Sternite 5 longer than wide, with medium-sized and long setae on disc and longer setae at tips of lobes (Fig. 32); cercal plate long, with 3 pairs of short stout setae at apex and two pairs a little above them; surstylus longer than cercal plate, sinuous in apical portion (Fig. 34); aedeagal complex with phallapodeme long; distiphallus short and membranous (Fig. 33).
Notes. This species was originally described as a subspecies of Helina quadruplex (Stein, 1913). The terminalia of the two subspecies were dissected and, although their external morphology is similar, they differ in the arrangement of setae on the cercal plate, the enlargement of the hypandrium in lateral view, and the length of the distiphallus. According to Emden (1951: 597), the females of both taxa are indistinguishable, but the males differ considerably in the chaetotaxy of the hind leg (Emden 1951: 597). The status of Helina quadruplex naivashensis is therefore revised and the subspecies is elevated to species rank (stat. nov.).

Taxonomy

description: The ant genus Probolomyrmex is the only genus-rank taxon of the tribe Probolomyrmecini under the subfamily Proceratiinae (Bolton, 2003). The members of the genus share the following characteristics in the worker: body hairless but with extremely fine pubescence, micro-punctate, overlain by scattered foveolae; antennal socket located on shelf-like frontoclypeal region that overhangs the mandibles; mandible small, elongate-triangular, with acute apical tooth followed by a series of small denticles; outer surface of mandible with several thick and short setae; promesonotal suture and metanotal groove absent; abdominal tergite IV not vaulted and sternite IV not reduced (different from the members of the tribe Proceratiini) (see also Taylor, 1965; Bolton, 2003). The antenna is 12- segmented in the worker and queen, and 13-segmented in the male. The mesosoma is unreduced in the queen.
The genus is circumtropical/subtropical in distribution: four species are Neotropical, three Ethiopian, two Australian, and seven Oriental (Bolton, 1995; Agosti, 1995; O'Keefe & Agosti, 1998; Xu & Zeng, 2000). In the course of our study on ant faunas of various areas of the Oriental Region, we have examined new material of this rare genus. In the present paper, we describe three new species, and the male and/or queen of P. dammermani, longinodus, longiscapus and watanabei.

Telsimia sichuanensis Pang & Mao, 1979: 101.— Ren et al. 2009: 152; Bi et al. 2022: 25.
Telsimia sichuanensis was originally described from China (Pang & Mao 1979) and recently, Bi et al. (2022) provided an illustrated diagnostic account based on its male genitalia in their review of Chinese Telsimia spp. It is added to the Indian fauna of Coccinellidae based on a single male specimen collected from the northeastern Indian state of Manipur. The adult is dorsally fully black except the clypeal margin of head (Fig. 10a) is anteriorly paler yellowish and ventral side is black except mouthparts and antenna are yellowish and the legs are reddish brown. The antenna (Fig. 10b) is 7-segmented and very short with the last antennomere oval and telescoped into the previous antennomere. The last abdominal ventrite in male is posteriorly emarginate (Fig. 10c). The male genitalia (Fig. 10d–g) were found to be identical with the illustrations given by Pang & Mao (1979) and Bi et al. (2022).

It is another fully black species from Sri Lanka (Fig. 11e) with 7-segmented antenna and is likely to be present in India. It was described from a female and Hoàng (1977) transferred it to Telsimia, described and illustrated the female genitalia. He stated that in appearance, as well as in the structure of the antennae and genitalia, Telsimia rotundata was very similar to Telsimia nigra (Weise, 1879). The genitalia of one male identified as T. rotundata by R.G. Booth at BMNH could not be studied in detail.
Material examined. “ Ceylon, G. Lewis, 1910-320/ Dikoya, 3800-4200 ft, 21.I.-7.II.82 / genitalia in glass vial / Telsimia rotundata (Mots.), det. R.G.

Booth 2003, comp. with LT”, one female (BMNH).
Distribution. Sri Lanka; The Philippines; Taiwan.
Notes. There is some confusion regarding the identity of Pullus rotundulus Motschulsky (1866), regarded as a synonym of T. rotundata (Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1972; Poorani 2002). Kapur (1948) regarded P. rotundulus as a species of Stethorus and discussed it in his revision of Old World Stethorini. He mentioned the comparative notes given by Weise (1895, 1900) with respect to Stethorus (Pullus) rotundulus (Motschulsky) and S. pauperculus Weise, 1895. Kapur pointed out that Weise (1900, 1910) regarded P. rotundulus as a synonym of S. rotundatus Motschulsky on the assumption that the latter author probably confused the two names. However, based on Motschulsky’s description of rotundatus, Kapur (1948) regarded these two species as distinct. However, Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1972) appears to have followed Weise (1900, 1910) and mentioned that these two species were synonymous.

description: Obieg węgla organicznego jest jednym z najważniejszych procesów biogeochemicznych podtrzymujących funkcjonowanie ekosystemów na ziemi. W obliczu zmian klimatycznych i utraty bioróżnorodności konieczne jest głębsze zrozumienie mechanizmów go regulujących oraz jego roli w utrzymaniu zdrowia ekosystemów morskich. Harmonizacja i standaryzacja międzynarodowych wysiłków na ten cel jest więc niezbędna. Pod egidą projektu „BioEcoOcean – Współtworzenie strategii na rzecz zintegrowanych obserwacji oceanicznych” powołane zostało żywe laboratorium - Morski Atlas Węgla Organicznego (z ang. MOCA – Marine Organic Carbon Atlas).  Celem MOCA jest stworzenie strategii na zebranie jak największej ilości danych i metadanych o obserwacjach oceanicznych, dotyczących obiegu węgla organicznego, oraz ich integracji do standardowych formatów z myślą o ich jak najszerszym zastosowaniu przez różne grupy interesariuszy. Dodatkowo, zaprezentowany zostanie pilotażowy zestaw danych na przykładzie Oceanu Arktycznego. Rezultatem MOCA będzie zwiększenie naszej zdolności do regularnego i spójnego mapowania zasobów i obiegu węgla pod kątem procesów biologicznych (organicznych), a w efekcie do oceny zmian zachodzących w ekosystemach morskich.

Jednym z kamieni milowych MOCA jest opracowanie strategii na lepsze uwzględnienie obserwacji dna morskiego, w tym roli organizmów bentosowych, w modelowaniu obiegu węgla. Bentos odgrywa fundamentalną rolę w obiegu węgla organicznego w ekosystemach morskich poprzez przetwarzanie materii organicznej i bioturbację osadu, a także sekwestrację węgla i jego transfer do wyższych poziomów troficznych. Niemniej jednak, złożoność roli bentosu w obiegu węgla znacznie utrudnia wybór odpowiednich parametrów pomocnych w jego modelowaniu co podkreśla wciąż istniejącą potrzebę konsultacji różnych środowisk naukowych.

Stworzenie spójnej strategii, obejmującej wybór parametrów, standaryzację metod zbierania danych i promowanie ich udostępniania oraz implementacja tych działań pozwoli na pełniejsze uwzględnienie roli bentosu w modelowaniu obiegu węgla. Przyczyni się to do bardziej precyzyjnych prognoz i lepszego zrozumienia funkcjonowania ekosystemów morskich.

Hoàng (1977) transferred it to Telsimia and gave a brief account with illustrations of the habitus and the genitalia. His illustration and description of the adult female show the elytra are black with reddish-yellow apical spots and it looks somewhat similar to T. postocula (from Andamans). The coxites also appear to be unusually elongate. The type specimen could not be studied.
