Desoria olympica

description: Desoria olympica sp. n.
(Figs. 71–76)
Type material (all in slides). Holotype (male) and 10 paratypes (in 4 slides) from " USA, Washington, Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge 47o59'N, 123o31'W, 10.IX.1983. Wet moss at snow edge, 1,800 m., A. Fjellberg 422/83" (INHS).
Description. Size up to 1.0 mm. Colour white, eye-spots black. Body shape as in two previous species, abd. 5–6 weakly separated. Characters of ocelli, labrum, labial and maxillary palps, maxillae and mandibles as in previous two species. PAO roundish, the size of a ocellus (Fig. 75). Frontoclypeal field with three setae (Fig. 76). Ant. 1 with only two ventroapical short sensilla in addition to a few setaceous ones, ant. 2–3 with only the standard set of sensilla. Ventromedian field of labium with 4 setae. Head with 3+3(4) postlabial setae. Body integument smooth; setal cover sparse and uniform. Macrochaetae distinct, smooth. Median macrochaetae on abd. 5 about 2.7 times as long as inner edge of last claw. Number of ordinary sensilla on tergites as 22/11135 (Fig. 71). Microsensilla as 11/001. Posterior sensilla on th. 2–abd. 4 set in the p-row; no ordinary sensillum laterally to the spine-like ms on abd. 3. Ventral tube with only 1+1 frontal setae; retinaculum with only two setae (10 specimens examined); ventral central field of manubrium with fewer than 20 setae (Fig. 74); dens with 7 dorsal setae; mucro 5-toothed (Fig. 73). Inner side of tib. 1-2 with three pairs of setae along median line (Fig. 72). Males present, reproductive specimens not seen.
Etymology. Named after the type locality, the Olympic National Park.
Discussion. The character which immediately identifies olympica is the reduced number of tergal sensilla (22/11135), which is probably the lowest number observed in any Desoria. Unlike the two previous species the posterior sensilla on th. 2–abd. 4 are set in the p-row. It also differs by the reduced number of antennal sensilla and the low number of setae on ventral tube and retinaculum (Table 1).
Distribution and ecology. This distinct species is only known from the type series which appeared in a wet snow edge community in the coastal mountains above Port Angeles, Washington.

(Fig. 77)
Type material. Holotype (female, in slide) and paratype (male, slide) from "Alaska: Juneau. Mts. between Mendenhall Glacier and Montana Creek Trail, 58o29'N, 134o40'W, 13.VII.1980. On melt-water ponds, 975 m. alt., A. Fjellberg leg." (INHS).
Description. Size 1.2 mm (subadult female in slide). Eye-spots black, rest of body white. Ocelli 6+6. Labrum modified, with stiff setae set close together (somewhat like Gnathisotoma spinolabris, described below). Apical edge of labrum membranous, without visible ventral ciliation (more like rough sandpaper). Maxillary palp trifurcate. Maxillae modified, with prolonged lamellae; Lam.1 passes well beyond tip of capitulum and appears almost smooth, without visible ciliation. Third tooth of capitulum thin and membranous (Fig. 77). Labium with 4+4 basomedian setae. Ventral tube with 1+1 frontal and 3+3 lateral setae. Dens with 7 dorsal setae in proximal half. Tib. 1–2 shortened, inner side with 3+3 setae along median line (as Fig. 72). Abd. 5–6 fused.
Etymology. The name refers to the mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) which is abundant in the area where this new species was collected.
Discussion. The species shares essential characters with cryophila and rosea in the 6+6 ocelli, small roundish PAO with three associated setae, "double" setal cover with distinct macrochaetae (as Fig. 30), abdominal sensilla inserted anterior to the p-row, manubrium with abundant (>50) setae in the ventral median field, mucro compact with 5 teeth. It differs sharply from other species of this group by having a trifurcate maxillary palp and modified labrum and maxillae. Despite that only two specimens are known, the species is so distinct that a formal description seems justified.

Two specimens from grass and moss cushions in a melt-water stream close to snowfields at Comox Glacier (49o33'N, 125o21'W), Vancouver Island (A. Fjellberg, 26.VIII.1983) are almost identical to olympica with 6+6 ocelli, 4–5 frontoclypeal setae, bifurcate maxillary palp, open uniform setal cover with abd. 1–4 sensilla in prow, smooth long macrochaetae, ventral tube with 1–2 frontal setae and 5–6 lateral setae, retinaculum with 2 setae, manubrium with 10–12 ventral setae in median field and dens with 7 dorsal setae in proximal half; same shape of mucro and sensillary equipment of antennae as olympica. The differences are presence of 5+5 setae in the basomedian field of labium and increased number of macrosensilla on th. 2–abd. 5: 44/ 323454 in sp. A. These specimens may represent an undescribed new species but more specimens need to be examined.

One specimen collected together with olympica at the type locality differs from that species by its larger size (1.2 mm) and a denser uniform cover of setae with macrochaetae hardly differentiated from ordinary setae. Median abd. 5 macrochaeta is only 1.8 times as long as inner edge of last claw, sensilla of the abdominal tergites are inserted in the p-row, but number is unclear (not as reduced as in olympica). None of the other species of the cryophila group have so short uniform setal cover as this probably undescribed species.

Gnathisotoma

description: Gnathisotoma Cassagnau, 1957
Cassagnau (1957) established the genus Gnathisotoma for the new species bicolor which was found in the central Pyrenees. Later Najt (1981) redescribed bicolor and described a new species G. deharvengi from snowfields in the Pyrenees and reported another possibly new species (known only from ecomorphic specimens) from the Cantabrian mountains in Spain. Yoshii (1990) described two more species from glaciers in Chile, G. patagonica and G. pallens, and also included the Antarctic species Isotoma klovstadi Carpenter, 1902 in Gnathisotoma. Stevens et al. (2006) transferred klovstadi to the genus Desoria. Further species of Gnathisotoma are not known.
In the original diagnosis of the genus Cassagnau (1957) stressed the modified maxillae of bicolor. Najt (1981) defined Gnathisotoma on the reduced number of sensilla on the tergites, the modified maxilla and the absence of frontal setae on the ventral tube. Yoshii (1990) used the subsegmentation in proximal part of dens as a single diagnostic character for Gnathisotoma. Potapov (2001) used the presence of four long maxillary lamellae and the absence of anterior setae on ventral tube as diagnostic characters separating Gnathisotoma from Desoria. However, none of the above characters are clearly inclusive of all species and unique to the genus. There is only a gradual difference between the maxilla of the Pyreneean Gnathisotoma and some Desoria species (tigrina -group). Also some Desoria have the sensillary equipment of tergites as much reduced as in Gnathisotoma. The significance of the ventral incision (subsegmentation) at base of dens is unclear on a generic level. The presence of the Gnathisotoma described below from Alaska with maxilla almost identical to bicolor but with 1–2 frontal setae on ventral tube and an increased number of tergal sensilla make the situation more confused and questions the status of Gnathisotoma as separate genus from Desoria.

Diagnosis of the genus. The genus belongs to the family Isotomidae as defined by the following characters: Body elongated with normal setal cover, scales absent. Prothorax without dorsal setae. Mid-dorsal length of abdominal segment 3 slightly longer (1.2) than segment 4. Trochanteral organ absent. The two single characters which separate the new genus from most other genera of the family are presence of a clearly lobed PAO (Fig. 94) and a mucro bearing more than one seta (Fig. 102).

Aleurotrachelus

description: Aleurotrachelus Quaintance & Baker
Aleurotrachelus Quaintance & Baker, 1914: 103. Type species: Aleurodes tracheifer Quaintance, 1900: 38 –39, by original designation.
Luederwaldtiana Hempel, 1922: 1185. Type species: Luederwaldtiana eriosemae, by monotypy. [Synonymised by Martin 2005: 22.]
Diagnosis. Puparia: dark usually brown to black, margin toothed, teeth not, or hardly modified at tracheal openings at margin, the teeth have wax secreting marginal glands at base, often appearing as double row of marginal teeth. A pair of lateral longitudinal folds often present on cephalothorax, usually overlaying the legs, sometimes in the form of dark pigmented area. Rhachis present; often without lateral arms. Eye spots sometimes present. Cephalic, meso-, and metathoracic setae present or absent, eighth abdominal and caudal setae present, first abdominal setae usually represented by much thickened “pseudosetae” placed close to median line (Martin, 1999); subdorsal setae absent, submarginal setae sometimes present, usually 8 pairs, but almost indistinguishable from row of pores. Vasiform orifice subcircular to subcordate, situated on elevated posterior end of rhachis, usually longer than wide, operculum almost filling the orifice; lingula excluded or obscured by operculum.
Discussion. Quaintance & Baker (1914) diagnosed Aleurotrachelus for black puparia having wax secreting glands at base of marginal teeth and a pair of lateral longitudinal folds. The genus is currently a morphologically diverse assemblage of species, and possibly not a monophyletic group (Manzari & Quicke, 2006). Currently, 74 species are listed in this genus (Martin & Mound, 2007), of which only five species are now recognised from Taiwan. Further studies in this genus will assign some Aleurotrachelus species to other genera or form groups within the genus. For instance, the puparia of Aleurotrachelus brazzavillense Bink- Moenen (1983) have eye spots and may group with A. maesae and A. pyracanthae. Although some workers have restricted the genus Aleurotrachelus to black puparia we recognize 2 species with non-black puparia, A. anonae and A. fissistigmae. These two species are considered in Aleurotrachelus due to their elongate shape, rhachisform abdominal segments, toothed or crenulate margin, presence of longitudinal folds, elevated vasiform orifice and glandular bases of marginal teeth (glands sometimes not clear in A. anonae). Among Taiwanese Aleurotrachelus, A. fissistigmae is instantly distinguished from the congeners by sharply pointed marginal teeth.

Remarks. This species is newly recorded from Taiwan, where it is restricted to southern areas. The species feeds only on Annona squamosa, on which heavy infestations have been seen on undersurface of leaves. The puparia are distinguished from the puparia of other Aleurotrachelus species in Taiwan by the presence of a toothed margin, teeth separated by deep incision, rhachisform abdominal segments, and a longitudinal row of pores and associated porettes along the longitudinal subdorsal fold.

Host plants. Fissistigma oldhamii (Takahashi, 1931); Pericampylus glaucus (new record).
Distribution. Taiwan.
Remarks. The lectotype puparium of this species is selected from among 14 syntypes on one slide and it is nearly central puparium from right side of the slide, and marked by a circle on cover slip (Fig. 73). The puparia of this species are unique among Aleurotrachelus species known from Taiwan by the following combination of characters: longer than wide and sharply pointed marginal teeth, densely scattered submedian dorsal pores on cephalothorax and abdomen, nine pairs of minute submarginal setae, rhachisform abdominal segments, dorsal setae reaching well beyond margin, and medially elevated cuticle along with the longitudinal molting suture. Some of the examined puparia of this species were oval, and tip of lingula extended beyond posterior margin of the orifice. In a puparium examined from Pericampylus glaucus, the meso-, and metathoracic setae were seven times shorter than the cephalic setae. Puparia of this species were found together with Aleuroclava sp. on Fissistigma oldhamii.

Distribution. India (Singh, 1931); Taiwan.
Remarks. The puparia of this species are distinguished from other Cohicaleyrodes species of Taiwan by the absence of meso-, and metathoracic setae, much smaller cephalic and eighth abdominal setae, and the subcordate vasiform orifice. David et al. (2006) placed this species in the genus Crenidorsum possibly considering the shape of transverse moulting suture and median length of abdominal segment VII. Singh (1931) states “on clearing the pupa gets pale white.” In our observations, the presence of crescent-shaped scallops on the outer submedian/inner subdorsum is a major characteristic of the genus Crenidorsum. Puparia of this species lack crescent-shaped scallops on inner subdorsum; marginal crenulations without glandular bases; abdominal segment VII not reduced medially (as in most of the species described by Bink-Moenen (1983)); and a pale puparia, assigning this species into the genus Cohicaleyrodes.

Mohanasundaramiella P. M. M. David, 2000: 123. Type species: Mohanasundaramiella rubiae, by monotypy. [Synonymised by David et al. 2006: 23.]
Diagnosis. Puparia: flat; cuticle usually pale, sometimes brown; margin distinctly toothed, not modified but may be irregular at tracheal openings, the teeth without wax secreting glands at base; submargin not separated from dorsal disc by a fold or suture; a pair of lateral longitudinal folds present on cephalothorax and on anterior abdomen; these folds approximately overlie the legs and may be lined by crescent-shaped scallops. First abdominal setae absent. Abdominal segment VII not or very slightly reduced medially. Caudal furrow absent. Vasiform orifice subcordate; operculum fully occupying the orifice, lingula usually completely covered by operculum. Thoracic tracheal folds usually absent.
Discussion. Crenidorsum is a neotropical genus which currently includes 28 species (Martin & Mound, 2007). However, judging from some of the pupal characters of Oriental species such as Cr. coimbatorensis (David & Subramaniam, 1976), these species are not congeneric with the New World Crenidorsum and need further study.
