Eleodes latiusculus

description: Eleodes latiusculus Walker (Fig. 3)
Eleodes latiuscula Walker, 1866, vol. 2, p. 329.
Original Description: “Black, broad, somewhat dull. Head and thorax thickly and minutely punctured. Head with an indistinct transverse impressed line in front of the eyes; clypeus somewhat shining. Thorax much broader than the head; sides convex in front. Elytra elliptical, very thickly punctured, with slight striae, much broader than the thorax, and nearly thrice its length; sides convex. Length of the body, 9 lines.”
Type Material. HOLOTYPE by monotypy.
Labels: (a) [circular, margined in red, printed] “ Type H.T.” (b) [circular, blue, hand-script] “Brit Colum” (c) [hand-script] “ latiuscula ” (d) [hand-script] “ E. humeralis (named by LeConte).” (e) [circular, hand-script] “64 18.”
This species appears as a synonym of Eleodes humeralis LeConte 1857 on page 247 of Gebiens’s (1910) catalogue and we confirm this synonymy. This species occurs along the Pacific coast from California to British Columbia. The determination on the specimen as E. humeralis may have been added by George Champion, a coleopterist with the British Museum, a tenebrionid specialist, describer of many Eleodes species, and contemporary of Hans Gebien. Max Barclay informs us that the hand writing however is not that of Champion, but likely that of someone employed by the museum for labeling. Interestingly, none of Walker’s names were included in Champion’s (1895) checklist. Perhaps there was correspondence between the two men during the preparation of Gebien’s catalog. Perhaps it was Champion who attached the type labels as well. Our concept of E. humeralis follows the revision of the subgenus Melaneleodes Blaisdell by Triplehorn & Thomas (2011).

Manulea labahe Volynkin & Saldaitis, 2021, Zootaxa, 4991 (2): 393 (Type locality: “ China, W. Sichuan, road Ya’an / Kangding, near Labahe Nac. park”).
Type material examined. Holotype (Figs 3, 11): male, “ China, W. Sichuan, road Ya’an / Kangding, near Labahe Nac. park, 20.IV.2010, leg. Chen Gun ”, gen. prep. No.: AV6414 (prepared by Volynkin) (AFM). Paratype: 1 male, the same data as in the holotype, gen. slide No.: AV6413 (prepared by Volynkin) (AFM).
Remark. In the original description of the species (Volynkin & Saldaitis 2021), the authors erroneously referred to the figure 22 as a photo of the holotype genital slide while the figure in fact illustrates the paratype genitalia. The holotype male genitalia are illustrated in the present paper for the first time (Fig. 11).
Distribution. The species is known only from its type locality in Sichuan Province, Southwest China.

description: Neopantopsalis thaumatopoios n. sp.
(Figs. 33–36)
Material examined. Male holotype. New England National Park, New South Wales, 30°28’S 152°29’E, 13 December 1973, R. Raven, under rock (QM S2850).
Diagnosis. Neopantopsalis thaumatopoios is distinguished from N. camelus by having a more rugose ocularium, longer proventral spines on femur I, and lateral humps more angular in profile. It is distinguished from all other species by the presence of pseudoarticulations in femur II.
Description. MALE. Prosoma length 3.72, width 3.16. Dorsal prosomal plate medium brown, sloped upwards towards posterior, with lateral humps angular in profile with posterior shelf. Postocularial hump directed posteriad. Anterior and median propeltidial areas uniformly covered with small denticles, posterior propeltidial area mostly unarmed. Ocularium lighter than surrounds, rugose. Metapeltidium and dorsum of opisthosoma lighter than pro- and mesopeltidium, with tan punctures. Venter yellow-tan.
Chelicerae. Segment I 9.88, segment II 11.75. Both segments medium brown proximad, with yellow areas distad; very long and slender, with second segment broader distad and anteroposteriorly flattened; uniformly denticulate. Cheliceral fingers sinuous.
Pedipalps. Femur 1.71, patella 0.75, tibia 0.98, tarsus 2.21. White with purple bands; all segments smooth. No apophysis or hypersetose areas. Tarsal claw with small ventral teeth.
Legs. Femora 6.07, 11.00, 5.00,?; patellae 1.36, 1.56, 1.25,?; tibiae 5.47, 11.75, 4.80,? (legs IV not preserved). Banded yellow and brown. Leg I with longitudinal row of elongated spines on proventral side of femur, with longest spines at about two-thirds of the way distad. Longitudinal rows of shorter spines on dorsal and retrolateral sides. Patella and tibia smooth except for spines on dorsodistal margin of patella, and few scattered spines along longitudinal rows of setae in line with rows of spines on femur. Other legs with dorsal and retrolateral rows of spines, no proventral rows. Femur II with five pseudosegments, tibia II with eleven pseudosegments.
Penis (Figs. 35–36). Left anterior bristle group reduced. Stylus recurved posteriad from glans.
Etymology. From Greek thaumatopoios, a performer, puppeteer or acrobat, referring to the resemblance of the relatively large second segment of the chelicera at the end of the narrow first segment to a bowling pin being held by a juggler.

description: Eleodes binotatus Walker (Fig. 4)
Eleodes binotata Walker, 1866, vol. 2, p. 329.
Original Description: “Black, slightly shining. Head and thorax extremely minutely punctured. Thorax with a slight impression on each side of the middle of the disk; sides convex before the middle; fore angles prominent, acute. Elytra subfusiform, with slight punctured striae, nearly four times the length of the thorax. Length of the body, 10 lines.”
Type Material. HOLOTYPE by monotypy.
Labels: (a) [circular, margined in red] “ Type H.T.” (b) [circular, blue, hand-script] “Brit Colum,” (c) [handscript] “ binotata.”
Gebien (1910) listed Walker’s name as a synonym of Eleodes sponsus LeConte (1858). But E. sponsus does not occur in or near British Columbia, being native to the four-corners area of New Mexico (the type locality) and adjacent parts of Colorado, Utah and Arizona. On examination we find that Walker’s beetle is actually conspecific with Eleodes hispilabris (Say 1824). Eleodes hispilabris is a widespread and variable species occurring from southern Canada to northern Mexico. Boddy (1965) astutely recognized Walker’s species as a synonym of E. hispilabris connexa LeConte, a variant found in New Mexico and west Texas. The population in the Pacific northwest was characterized as “forma laevis ” by Blaisdell (1909), later formally described by him (Blaisdell 1918) as “variety imitabilis,” which he later (Blaisdell 1925) raised to subspecific status. They have the integument dull, alutaceous, smooth; sulci very shallow, intervals feebly convex. This is the race found in eastern Washington and Oregon, eastern Idaho, northwestern Nevada, and northeastern California. Eleodes binotatus (Walker 1866) from British Columbia belongs here as well and is thus senior as a synonym of the subspecies name imitabilis Blaisdell (1918). Our concept of E. hispilabris and its variants is treated in a revision of the subgenus Eleodes currently in preparation. Although we do not consider the forms of E. hispilabris to warrant subspecific status, future revisers should be aware of the priority.

Paratypes: 5 males and 5 females from North Vietnam (Lào Cai Province) and mainland China (Sichuan Province) listed by Volynkin & Saldaitis (2021).
Distribution. The species is known from Southwest China (Sichuan Province) and North Vietnam (Lào Cai Province) (Volynkin & Saldaitis 2021). The records of M. postmaculosa from other provinces of China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong) (Daniel 1954; Fang 2000) probably also belong to M. lienquan but require clarification.

Eleodes subtuberculatus

description: Eleodes subtuberculatus Walker (Fig. 5).
Eleodes subtuberculata Walker, 1866, vol. 2, p. 328.
Original Description: “Black, dull. Head and thorax thickly punctured. Head with a transverse impressed line between the base of the antennae; clypeus somewhat shining. Thorax somewhat broader than the head, harder, broader behind than in front; sides almost straight; fore angles acute. Elytra elliptical, with numerous lines of minute tubercles, almost twice broader than the thorax, and about thrice its length. Length of the body, 5-1/2 lines.”
Type Material. HOLOTYPE by monotypy.
Labels: (a) “ Type H.T” [printed, circular with red margin]. (b) “ Brit Colum ” [hand-script, circular, light blue]. (c) “ subtuberculata ” [hand-script]. (d) “ E. granulata (named by LeConte)” [hand-script]. (e) [circular, hand-script] “64 18.”
Eleodes subtuberculatus Walker was placed in synonymy under Eleodes granulatus LeConte 1857 in Gebien’s (1910) catalog at page 246. However, based on our examination of the specimen we conclude that the placement as a synonym of E. granulatus, a member of the subgenus Litheleodes Blaisdell, is no longer applicable. Subspecies and species related to E. granulatus were described subsequent to the Gebien catalog. Walker’s specimen is assignable, and senior to, another member of Litheleodes, Eleodes parvulus Blaisdell (1909). Eleodes parvulus was originally proposed by Blaisdell (1909) as a “forma” of Eleodes letcheri var. vandykei. Blaisdell (1921) later elevated E. vandykei to full species, and still later (Blaisdell 1942) made parvulus its subspecies. The most recent treatment of this group is by Boddy (1965) who considered E. parvulus (type locality: The Dalles, Oregon) to be a valid species while placing E. vandykei (type locality: Modoc County, California), as a subspecies of E. granulatus. The two species, both of which occur in British Columbia, are distinguishable by the shape and proportions of the prothorax. Eleodes granulatus has the prothorax broader than long with the sides distinctly arcuate. Eleodes subtuberculatus (with E. parvulus as its junior synonym) has the prothorax longer than wide and the sides subparallel. The known distribution of E. subtuberculatus is provided in the accompanying map (Fig. 6).

Notes. This species was for a long time confused with Cobososia semiobscura (Pic, 1893) and C. symphoniaca (Klinger, 2000) (Klinger 2000).
Cobososia Collado & Alonso Zarazaga, 1996: 98 was established by validation of Cobososia Báguena-Corella, 1962: 37 (nomen nudum). To the complex nomenclatural history of these names (Collado & Alonso Zarazaga 1996; Nardi 2001; Gompel et al. 2010; Alonso Zarazaga 2010), it is necessary to add an incorrect subsequent spelling (ICZN 1999, Art. 33.3) of the latter name: Cobosia [sic!] (Franz 1987: 102). Franz (1987) wrote Cobosia [sic!] pallescens Woll. [sic!] instead of Cobososia pallescens (Wollaston, 1854). Fortunately, Cobosia [sic!] is invalid, being an incorrect subsequent spelling of Cobososia Báguena-Corella, 1962 (nomen nudum), so there are no nomenclatural problems for Cobososia Collado & Alonso Zarazaga, 1996.

description: Metacnephia blanci (Grenier & Theodorides)
The first report of M. blanci that we found for Algeria appears in the inventory of Crosskey & Howard (1997), although without collection data. Our collections of M. blanci indicate that the larvae and pupae typically inhabit medium to large (mean width = 11.1 m), cool to warm (up to 22°C) rivers with moderate to fast flow and substrate of rubble, gravel, and sparse boulders. Larvae and pupae were found from November to January and again from March to June, perhaps representing staggered hatching or distinct cohorts.
Sites: 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 17, 22.

Notes. Pic (1893: 26) described “ Euglenes pruinosus? var. semiobscurus ” from "Turkestan". Klinger (2000) raised it to species level but based on material from Caucasus lands. In this framework, as stated by Nardi (2001), it will be necessary to examine the types of the above variety and those of Hylophilus pruinosus var. uniformis Pic, 1925 from "Caucase [= Caucasus]" (Pic 1925: 13). The latter is currently known as Cobososia pruinosa uniformis (Nardi 2001, 2008, 2020).

Type genus Lepidamia Gill 1863
Diagnosis. Members of the Apogoninae: dorsal fin VII(I)-I,9 or VIII-I,9; anal fin II,8; head and body with ctenoid scales; pored lateral-line scales 35–48; preopercle ridge smooth, edges serrate; three supraneurals; supramaxilla absent; basisphenoid present; one pair of reduced uroneurals present; three epurals; five free hypurals; parhypural separate; two autogenous haemal spines; two supernumerary dorsal spines, caudal fin forked.
Other characteristics. first fin ray in second dorsal fin branched and segmented; first anal-fin ray branched and segmented; ctenoid scales on predorsal, cheek, breast, four pelvic scales, and body; ctenoid scales on opercle and onto base of caudal fin; pored lateral-line scales with multiple pores; 15 branched, upper and lower unbranched; developed gill rakers 8–17; unbranched procurrent rays, longest segmented; 10+14 vertebrae; 8 ribs; 9 epipleurals; teeth in multiple rows on premaxilla, dentary, vomer, palatine, all villiform; six infraorbitals, bony shelf on third infraorbital; stomach and intestine pale, peritoneum pale; low crest on PU2.
Distribution. Lepidamia with four species has been collected only from continental marine waters from South Africa to China (Gon 1995). Members of this tribe have not been collected in Australia or New Guinea. One specimen (USNM 175754, 96 mm SL) was collected in 1909 from Manila Bay, Luzon, Philippines. None have been reported elsewhere in the Philippines or again from Manila Bay. Perhaps the location is erroneous.
Remarks. We did not have tissue from any species. Based on known morphological characters including color patterns of the juveniles and adults, body shape and small body scales, we recognized Lepidamia in its own tribe for the present.

Simulium velutinum sensu lato previously was identified morphologically from the Tlemcen Mountains in northwestern Algeria (Gagneur & Clergue-Gazeau 1988, Chaoui Boudghane-Bendiouis et al. 2012) and the Djurdjura Mountains in the eastern region (Lounaci et al. 2000a, b). Our investigation provides the extreme northeastern records for Algeria. Second only to S. pseudequinum, the S. velutinum complex was the most common taxon. Our chromosomal examination of more than 300 larvae from the Seybouse Basin indicated the presence of three distinct species, the most common of which was true S. velutinum, representing about 82% of the larvae of the complex. The chromosomal results will be detailed elsewhere. Larvae and pupae of the complex occupied diverse habitats, representing 25 of our 31 sampling stations, from small permanent and temporary streams (0.5 m wide) to the largest rivers (35 m wide), with current macrovelocities from nearly imperceptible to 1.6 m /s, conductivity of 3–2330 µS/cm, and alkaline pH. Larvae and pupae were collected year round from stones, gravel, clay, and submerged vegetation at elevations from 26 to 852 m asl.

description: Chrysopathes Opresko 2003
Diagnosis. Primary pinnules arranged in six rows and also in alternating biserial groups of three pinnules each. In each group of three, lateral pinnule more distal than anterior or posterior pinnule. Subpinnules confined to anterior primary pinnules or present on lateral and posterior primaries as well. Subpinnules arranged irregularly, alternately, or in subopposite pairs. Secondary pinnules usually shorter than primary pinnules.
Type species. Chrysopathes formosa Opresko 2003.
Remarks. Although the younger parts of colonies may have only four rows of primary pinnules, the typical condition in this genus is six rows. The primary pinnules in the anterior-most rows (corresponding to the side of the corallum on which the polyps occur) are usually those showing the greatest subpinnulation, although in some species subpinnules also occur on the other primaries.
Species assigned to Chrysopathes. Five species: C. formosa Opresko 2003, C. speciosa Opresko 2003, C. gracilis Opresko 2005, C. oligocrada new species and C. micracantha new species.
Distribution. Three species of this genus are known from the Pacific (C. formosa, C. speciosa, and C. gracilis), and two from the western Atlantic (C. oligocrada and C. micracantha).

We record this species, as larvae, from one stream in Souk Ahras Province at 751 m asl. The only previous Algerian record is from the Tlemcen Mountains (Giudicelli et al. 2000). Our larvae differed structurally from those of the S. velutinum complex by having less distinct head spots. This character, however, was at odds with the original description (Giudicelli et al. 2000), which depicted S. mellah with heavily infuscated head spots. Larval pigmentation, however, can be influenced by environment, particularly by the substrate to which the larvae are attached (Zettler et al. 1998). We associate our larvae with the name S. mellah, based on chromosomal band patterns identical with those of larvae collected near the type locality in Morocco. The Seybouse tributary that supported larvae was about 5 m wide, warm (21.2 °C), slightly mineralized (6.7 µS/cm), with high salinity (3.6%), and slow to moderate current (0.2–0.5 m /s). The substrate was muddy, with rubble, scattered boulders, and abundant vegetation. Larvae were found in December, March, and April.

Pericoma speciosa Meunier, 1905, p. 244.
Diagnosis. Species known only from Eocene Baltic amber. Male with the following combination of character states: head capsule with antennal scape and pedicel globular, flagellomeres fusiform (Fig. 25); wing profile ovate, with bluntly pointed apex (Figs. 25–26; 28).
Description. Male. Eyebridge comprised of three facet rows; labellum bulbous, conspicuous; palp with segments cylindrical, nondescript; scapus globular, slightly larger than pedicel; pedicel globular; flagellomeres uniform in shape, fusiform, twice as long as wide; ascoids not visible in specimen; Thorax without remarkable characters; legs approximately equal in length, with proportions of femora, tibiae and tarsi of fore-, mid- and hindleg roughly equal; wing with C nearly twice as thick compared to longitudinal veins; radial fork placed slightly apical to medial fork. Terminalia with gonostylus straight, slightly inflated at base, evenly tapered from inflated part to apex; surstyli moderately elongate, slightly curved dorsally, inflated at base, without noticeable tapering from base to apex; cluster of more than 10 tenacula inserted dorsoapically.
Type material. A male specimen originally examined by Meunier (1905) numbered Z2726 (GZG.BST-06177) is here designated as lectotype.
Other material examined. See Table 1 and the corresponding folio in Morphobank: http://morphobank.org/ permalink/?F897. An additional female specimen, probably congeneric with P. speciosa, is placed in a separate folio in Morphobank: http://morphobank.org/permalink/?F907
Comments. Generic classification of this species is currently inadequate, as it is not Pericoma, but also can not be confidently assigned to another genus or described as new. Few specimens are available for study and the lectotype male shows only a lateral view of the genitalia. Unfortunately, a second male specimen (MZ17325) with ovate wings and fusiform antennal flagellomeres agreeing to P. speciosa can only be tenusouly identified as such. The eye bridge is obscured and genitalia is visible in partial dorsoventral view. Additional specimens of this type are needed to clarify the genus and species-level taxonomy.

description: Diversity of Psychodinae in Baltic amber
The main purpose of this work was to clarify part of the taxonomy of Baltic amber Psychodinae, based on reexamination of the type series from Meunier (1905), and the study of specimens from more recent collections. It was also interesting to assess the diversity, insofar as possible, based on specimens borrowed from various museums and amber collectors. We examined approximately 50 specimens in addition to reviewing the material originally studied by Meunier; the majority are Paleotelmatoscopus. Our sample is undoubtedly a small fraction compared to material that remains available for study; however, Paleotelmatoscopus seems to be prevalent in Baltic amber while so far other Psychodinae are rare.
In the Holarctic fauna of extant Psychodinae, Telmatoscopus and some related genera are known to inhabit tree cavities or are otherwise associated with trees (Vaillant 1989; Oboňa & Ježek 2012; Curler et al. unpublished data). The common occurance of Paleotelmatoscopus in amber may be an indication that, like some of their presumed extant relatives, they were closely associated with trees. In contrast, a majority of extant psychodine genera are known to be associated with aquatic or moist terrestrial habitats, with the adults generally remaining close to the larval microhabitat. As discussed by Briggs (2018), insects associated with resiniferous trees are more likely to be included in amber, and it is important to consider sampling bias when studying amber insect assemblages. Regardless of whether Paleotelmatoscopus were directly associated with resin-producing trees, it appears that they were at least in the vicinity of these trees more frequently than moth flies of other genera. A more complete survey of the Baltic amber psychodid fauna is needed in order to understand which taxa are part of the amber forest community and which were captured by chance.

description: Genus Phaneroptera Serville, 1831
In accordance with Ragge (1960, 1980) Phaneroptera is a rather nondescript genus, chiefly recognizable from its lack of any striking features, and it may be separated from Eulioptera Ragge, 1956 by the opaque fore wings, at least posterior to vein R. In addition, following Heller (1988 and pers. comm.), Phaneroptera species are well characterized by a peculiar stridulatory file: it has a double bending in the middle or the distal part, and the stridulatory teeth have their steep side pointing basally, indicating sound production during wing opening. In the strictly related genus Eulioptera the stridulatory file is normally arched. Ragge (1980) synonymized the genus Dannfeltia Sj ̂stedt, 1902 with Phaneroptera, but more recently Massa (in press) resurrected Dannfeltia nana Sj ̂stedt, 1902, which has rounded dorsal margin of fore tibiae (not sulcate, as in Phaneroptera) and a normally arched stridulatory file.
In tropical Africa a dozen of species of Phaneroptera live. Here the distribution of P. sparsa Stål, 1857 is discussed, and a new species characterized by only 2 apical spurs on the hind tibiae is described.
