Huperzia myriophyllifolia

description: Huperzia myriophyllifolia (Hayata1914:133) Holub(1985:75).
Basionym: Lycopodium serratum var. myriophyllifolium Hayata (1914: 133). Figure 1.
Type:— Taiwan Island: Mt. Arisan, March 1911, U. Mori 6208 (holotype, TI).
Lycopodium serratum var. myriophyllifolium was often treated as a synonym of “ Huperzia serrata ” (Thunberg 1784: 944) Trevisan (1875: 247) (e.g., Knapp 2011, Zhang & Iwatsuki 2013). Huperzia myriophyllifolia is a rather rare taxon, found only in Jiayi (the type locality and Luqushan) in Central Taiwan and Taoyuan (Xuebaishan) in North/ North-Central Taiwan. It is characterized by having narrower linear microphylls with the margins strongly crinkly and toothed. Molecular data from cpDNA sequences showed that the two species are distinct (Chen et al. 2022) with three samples of H. myriophyllifolia forming a distinct clade, different from the resolution of H. serrata.
Doubt regarding its taxonomic status as a variety was already casted by Knapp & Hsu (2017). Its recognition as a species was then published by Hsu et al. (2019), but only in Chinese. Our earlier molecular data showed that it formed a distinct and strongly supported clade and deserves the recognition as a species (Chen et al. 2022).

description: Polietina Schnabl & Dziedzicki, 1911
Polietina Schnabl & Dziedzicki, 1911: 218. Type species: Aricia pruinosa Macquart, 1846 [preocc. Aricia pruinosa Zetterstedt, 1845; = Mydaea concinna Wulp, 1896].
Diagnosis. Colouration yellowish-brown to blackish-brown with silver pruinosity; wing with maculae or infuscate on apex of Sc and R1, on apex of R2+3, and on r-m and dm-cu crossveins. Female with proclinate fronto-orbital seta (Figs. 1–2); parafrons weakly setulose on upper half; interfrontal seta present (Fig. 2). Dorsocentrals 2+3-4. Postsutural intra-alars 2; intrapostalar absent. Notopleurals 3 (one additional median, shorter than the usual two setae). Prosternum setulose. Katepisternals 1+2. Meron setulose. Postalar wall setulose (Fig. 12). Anterior suprasquamal ridge usually setulose. Wing with the apical portion of stem-vein usually setulose dorsally and ventrally; R1 setulose dorsally; Rs node and R4+5 setulose dorsally and ventrally; M setulose ventrally between r-m and dm-cu crossveins; M straight, subparallel to R4+5. Lower calypter glossiform (Fig. 12). Subcostal sclerite setulose ventrally. Calcar strong. Mid tibia with a strong submedian seta on ventral to posteroventral surface.
Comments. A cladistic analysis supporting the monophyly and indicating the phylogenetic relationships among the species of Polietina was performed by Nihei and de Carvalho (2007b). Furthermore, its monophyly and the major relationships were recovered by the multi-gene analyses of Schuehli et al. (2007).
Distribution (15 species). Nearctic (southern USA) and Neotropical.

Figs 6, 17
Diagnosis
Chimarra fotobohitra sp. nov. differs from the other species of the group by the ventral branch of tergum X, which is short and forms with the dorsal branch an angle of about 20° (Fig. 6A). When it is measurable, this angle is greater than 40°, except in C. gattolliati sp. nov. and C. lehibemavo sp. nov., where it is around 35° (Fig. 7A, 2A). Another remarkable character of this species is the strong median narrowing of the dorsal lamina (Fig. 6D), also observed in C. gensonae sp. nov., but with a different shape (Fig. 8E).
Etymology
The name is that of the river where the holotype was collected.

Basionym: Lycopodium subinundatum Tagawa (1941: 75).
Type:— JAPAN. Honshu: 1000–1500 m, T. Hasimoto 7291 (KYO).
Lycopodium subinundatum was consistently treated as a synonym of Pseudolycopodiella caroliniana (Linnaeus 1753: 1101) Holub (1983: 442) (e.g., Ching 1982, Zhang & Kung 2000, Zhang 2004, Zhang & Iwatsuki 2013, Ebihara 2016). Based on our earlier molecular study, these two taxa were resolved as paraphyletic in relation to the Central and South American P. meridionalis (Underwood & Lloyd 1906: 121) Holub (1983: 442) (Chen et al. 2022). Lycopodium subinundatum and Pseudolycopodiella caroliniana are distributed in Asia and North America, respectively, and should be treated as different species. The former occurs in China, India, Japan, Malaysia, New Guinea, and Sri Lanka (Zhang & Kung 2000, Zhang 2004, Zhang & Iwatsuki 2013). In our earlier molecular work, we included only Japanese material of Pseudolycopodiella subinundata (Chen et al. 2022) which is assumed to be conspecific with the material from other parts of Asia. However, no molecular data from other parts of Asia are available. It is unknown whether the African material is assignable to the Asian species since no molecular data is available either. Pseudolycopodiella subinundata differs from P. caroliniana by having linear to linear-lanceolate dorsal leaves on the rhizome (vs. lanceolate dorsal leaves on the rhizome in the latter). In addition, the former has 2n = 68 (Takamiya & Kurita 1983), whereas the latter has 2n = 70, 140 (Wagner & Beitel 1993).

(Figs 33–37, Map 1)
Description. Body (Figs 33, 34) length 1.76 mm, width 1.07 mm. General body color light chestnut brown. Dorsal part of head and pronotum entirely light chestnut brown. Mouth parts, procoxae, last abdominal ventrite, and basal calli on elytra lighter. Pronotum slightly darker. Elytral hairs yellowish gold, lighter hairs forming two or three narrow, poorly defined bands and patches.
Head (Fig. 35) with vertex with slightly zigzagged longitudinal ridge above antennal calli. Frontal ridge acute ventrally, followed by narrow longitudinal ridge beyond anterofrontal ridge into middle of clypeus. Anterofrontal ridge well developed laterally. Head surface densely covered with relatively long, well visible setae (Fig. 35).
Pronotum (Fig. 37) 1.36 times wider than long, nearly parallel-sided near its base. In lateral view apical part more convex than basal. Lateral margin slightly convex. Anterolateral pore present. Two elongate elevations on pronotum tall. Pronotal punctures large, spaced evenly, distance between them much smaller than diameter of puncture. Elytral punctures placed close together into striae, interspaces convex. Basal calli well developed, projecting. Space between scutellar row and first row of punctures as convex as space between first and second rows. Metatibia without preapical tooth situated before tarsal insertion.
Median lobe of aedeagus nearly parallel-sided ventrally, with apex narrowing gradually. Apical part with ventral groove widening gradually towards apex. In lateral view, median lobe slightly curved with base and apex bent evenly (Fig. 36).
Female unknown.
Type material. Holotype, 3. Labels: 1) GUAT.[EMALA]: Baja Verapaz/ 4.3km E.Purulha/ 1680m, 29.VI.1993 / R.Anderson, cloud/ for.litter, 93-25B; 2) Holotype Andersonaltica tuberosa des. Linzmeier & Konstantinov 2011 (CMNC).
Etymology. The specific name derived from the Latin tuberosus, referring to the elytra bearing bumps.
Remarks. Andersonaltica tuberosa is more similar to A. valens than to other species of the genus. It can be separated from A. valens by the following characters: pronotum near its base nearly parallel-sided; space between scutellar row and first row of punctures as convex as space between first and second rows; median lobe of aedeagus with ventral groove widening gradually towards apex.

Comparative material examined. Pionosyllis gesae: 4 specimens (MNCN 16.01 /6697), Cuba: Punta Pedernales, Pinos Island, Canarreos Archipelago, Caribbean Sea, 35 m.
Remarks. According to San Martín et al. (2009), the genus Westheidesyllis includes only three species: Westheidesyllis corallicola (Ding & Westheide 1997), Westheidesyllis gesae (Perkins 1981) and Westheidesyllis heterocirrata (Hartmann-Schröder 1959). W. corallicola differs from the other two by the absence of eyes and a shorter proventricle with only a few rows of muscular cells. Conversely, W. heterocirrata and W. gesae are considered closely related species (see Perkins, 1981), since the main differences between them are that W. heterocirrata lacks a conspicuous ciliation pattern and that all its falcigers are similar in shape, with coarse spines, while W. gesae has a distinctive ciliation pattern as well as superior falcigers with fine and uniform spines. However, the ciliation pattern of W. gesae is not apparent in some specimens, so that they could potentially be considered synonymous. Therefore, it would be advisable to review the type series of W. heterocirrata in order to verify this possibility. Until then, and since all the specimens herein reviewed agree well with the original description of W. gesae, they have been identified as such. We did note, though, a small difference in the shape of the aciculae in the specimens from Acapulco Bay, since they have a hollow and rounded distal end. This character is hard to observe, and thus might have been overlooked in previous studies, and we are identifying them as W. gesae.
Habitat. Interstitial on medium to coarse sand; algae.
Distribution. Florida, Cuba, Gulf of Mexico, Cabo Verde Islands and Southern Mexican Pacific (Acapulco Bay).

Figs 7, 16
Diagnosis
Chimarra gattolliati sp. nov. is most closely related to C. jejyorum sp. nov. In both species, the lateral lobes of tergum X are short, the dorsal branches are small and thumb-shaped. The angle between dorsal and ventral branch is more acute in C. gattolliati sp. nov. (Fig. 7A) than in C. jejyorum sp. nov. (Fig. 9A). But this is not easy to observe, the two species are more quickly distinguished by the inferior appendages or by the phallic apparatus. In C. gattolliati sp. nov., the ventral branch of the inferior appendage is distally protruding, the dorsal branch is thin and arched (Fig. 7A); in C. jejyorum sp. nov., the ventral branch is not clearly apparent and the dorsal branch is wide and only curved towards the apex (Fig. 9A). The phallothecae of both species are split, in C. gattolliati sp. nov., this splitting occurs after mid-length (Fig. 7D), whereas, in C. jejyorum sp. nov., it occurs somewhat after the base (Fig. 9D).
Etymology
This species is dedicated to Jean-Luc Gattolliat in tribute to his work on the Malagasy may flies.

Spinulum annotinum with its type from Europe is not distributed in East Asia including Korea and Japan nor in the Himalaya. The phylogenetic analysis of Chen et al. (2022) provides additional evidence that the Asian material of “ Spinulum annotinum ” (Linnaeus 1753: 1103) A. Haines (2003: 86) should be recognized as S. lioui, separable from the material from Europe and North America (Chen et al. 2017). We thought S. lioui only occurs in NE China but Chen et al. (2022) showed that the Asian material of “ Spinulum annotinum ” should all be S. lioui. Spinulum annotinum does not occur in Asia except part of the Far East of Russia.

Figures 3 F–H
Pseudopallene ambigua Stock, 1956a
Remarks. The holotype of M. ambigua has been studied previously by the author (Staples, 2005) and can now be compared to the holotype of M. laevis. Stock did not compare his specimen with M. laevis; a decision no doubt based on his understanding that the scape segments in M. laevis were two-segmented. Instead he compared his species to the less similar M. pachychiera with which it shared the one-segmented scapes.
Only one oviger claw now accompanies the M. ambigua holotype and the blunt serrations on the remaining claw are consistent with wear and tear. In all other specimens of M. ambigua examined in this review the oviger claw is consistently long and narrow with an acute tip. The characteristics of M. ambigua can be summarized as follows: The immoveable finger is strongly curved, the chitinous margin is variably developed, darker and thicker in some specimens than in others. The chitinous cutting edge of both fingers is smooth and the edges of both fingers run almost parallel with each other for almost two-thirds of their length, the cutting edge of the moveable finger is preceded by a low, variably developed node or chitinous thickening on the inner dorso-lateral margin (Fig 3 H). A median cuticular division is restricted to the frontal margin of the cephalon; the lengths of the lateral processes are a little less than twice the basal diameter. In the holotype the proboscis is widest at about mid-length with vague constrictions at about one-third and two-thirds its length. In all other specimens examined the proboscis only has a vague constriction at about half its length. The arthrodial membrane at the base of proboscis is wide (Fig 3 F) allowing partial extension and retraction of the proboscis. The oviger claw is slightly less than half the length of segment 10. The oviger spine formula of the holotype is 15:9:10:10. Coxa 2>three times length of coxa 1 and the propodal heel commonly has three spines. Stock’s (1956) observation of a ‘corona of fine hair around the mouth’ is not evident in the specimens examined. It is possible that Stock may have confused residual food or detritus around the mouth with setae.
The live colour of M. ambigua is predominantly yellow.
A photograph of mating specimens (probably M. ambigua) is reproduced here (from Staples, 1981) to show the male chelifores grasping the female in the region of the proximal chelifore scape constriction (Fig. 4 A).
Distribution. Bass Strait, Tasmania and Victoria.

Diagnosis
Chimarra gensonae sp. nov. is closely related to C. tamara sp. nov. When viewed laterally, their tergum X are very similar, characterized by a thick and short dorsal branch and a thin ventral branch (Figs 8A, 14A). The two species differ by the phallotheca, short and stout in C. gensonae sp. nov. (Fig. 8 D–E), long and slim in C. tamara sp. nov. (Fig. 14 D–E).
Etymology
It is a pleasure to dedicate this species to my colleague Gwenaelle Genson in recognition of her efforts for the barcoding of caddisflies.

Description
SIZE. Forewing 7.6 mm, hind wing 6.0 mm.
TERGUM X. Dorsal branch wide and short, thumb-shaped when viewed laterally, toward the apex a small protuberance with two sensillae; ventral branch thin as long as dorsal branch; dorsal and ventral branches forming an angle of 65°.
INFERIOR APPENDAGES. Roughly triangular, anterior margin almost twice as long as ventral margin; dorsal part curved distad, inner lobe long, thin, slightly protruding.
PHALLIC APPARATUS. Short compared to other species of the group. Phallotheca split nearly from the base; ventral lamina as long as dorsal lamina, thinner and digitiform; when viewed dorsally, dorsal lamina with a lateral fold and a sudden narrowing after mid-length (Fig. 8D); internal sclerite short, stout, bullet-shaped (Fig. 8E); phallotremal sclerite including an ovoid basal part, a thin spine and a pair of hooks.
Distribution
Madagascar (endemic), Ranomafana National Park and surroundings areas.
