description: Gordius cf. tatrensis Janda, 1894
(Fig. 11 A–C)
Material examined. 23 and 1Ƥ from Ukraine, Protsev village, Kiew region (col. April 11, 2002 by A. Khouyak). The specimens are stored in the collection of A. Schmidt-Rhaesa as numbers 623.1–623.3.
Description. The body color is light to medium brown; white spots are present in the male specimens. The anterior end includes a white tip followed by a black collar. The males measure 345 and 360 mm in length and 0.7 and 0.6 mm in diameter, respectively. The female is 435 mm long and has a diameter of 0.7 mm.
The postcloacal crescent is semicircular and directly at the point of bifurcation (Fig. 11 A). It does not extend much onto the tail lobes. The cloacal opening is round (Fig. 11 A). The tail lobes are about twice as long as broad, the inner side is slightly concave. Scattered tiny bristles are present on the entire posterior end.
The cuticle is structured into flat polygonal areoles (Fig. 11 B), no further cuticular structures are present. The cuticle of the female additionally shows numerous short spines arranged more or less in a circle on top of each areole (Fig. 11 C).
Remarks. The characters of the male specimens correspond to those described for G. tatrensis Janda, 1894 from a source in the Tatra Mountains (locality not further specified; see Janda 1894). This species is documented only by drawings, but the text is detailed enough to mention the structure of areoles, bristles in the posterior end, the form of the cloacal opening and so on. A fine structural reinvestigation of G. tatrensis would help to decide whether the Ukrainian specimens indeed correspond to this species or show differences. One considerable difference is the structure of the areoles in the female. A circle of spines on top of the areoles has not been reported from any species before. Because female and males were found together, it is likely that they are conspecific. If all three specimens represent one species, this is a significant case of sexual dimorphism concerning the cuticle, a character in which other Gordius species usually correspond among sexes.

description: ABSTRACT:

Established in 2003, the Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC) is a collaborative project involving three Australian universities: The University of Sydney, The University of Melbourne, and the Australian National University. Serving as a digital archive and access platform, PARADISEC focuses on preserving endangered materials from the Pacific region, encompassing Oceania, East, and Southeast Asia. These materials are primarily contributed by researchers specializing in Linguistics, Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, and related fields.

Operating within academic research institutions provides PARADISEC with direct engagement opportunities with students and researchers. Recognizing the importance of integrating archival practices into tertiary education, PARADISEC has developed tailored curricula for linguistics, anthropology, and ethnomusicology. The curriculum emphasizes data management, archiving, and digital preservation, with a focus on safeguarding linguistic and cultural heritage.

Through practical training sessions, students acquire essential skills for managing and preserving diverse data types, including linguistic recordings and ethnographic materials. They are introduced to industry-standard tools and techniques for digitization, metadata creation, and ensuring long-term preservation.

The integration of domain-specific archiving practices into tertiary education aligns with PARADISEC's mission to empower students and researchers in responsibly managing cultural and linguistic resources. Originally designed for credited work placement programs and tertiary classrooms, the curriculum has been successfully implemented at institutions like Charles Sturt University and the University of Manchester. Its effectiveness has led to its adoption for training staff, volunteers, and interested individuals, with growing interest in expanding its reach beyond occasional guest lectures in university classrooms.

And finally, because there is a large number of Pacific Islander and Melanesian staff and students at our universities, we are able to engage with these students and provide them guidance in navigating the holdings in our collections that have

description: Lobosciara trilobata Vilkamaa & Hippa, 1994
(Fig. 13 A –C)
Literature: Vilkamaa & Hippa (1994): 41–48.
Material: 1 male, 3.vii.2000, Palm Cove, near Cairns, mangrove forest along the coastline, caught by net, leg. W. Mohrig (PWMP).
Comments. Lob. trilobata is characteriZed by a long gonocoxal apodeme and a broad intergonocoxal lobe in between. Species of this genus differ considerably from all other sciarids in the structure of the male hypopygium. They are mainly characteriZed by a simple gonostylus – long and narrow, slightly curved and without an apical tooth or spines. The apex and the inner side have rather long hairs. Unusual structures (quite different from all known sciarid genera) characteriZe the ventral base of the hypopygium. The inner ventral base of the gonocoxite is lobe-like and prolonged (gonocoxal apodeme), the apodemes are of different lengths and densely haired at the apex (in Lob. latilobata Vilkamaa & Hippa, 1994 it is broadly rounded and with short hairs). In some species there is an additional structure at the ventral base of the hypopygium, an intergonocoxal lobe between the gonocoxal apodeme (divided as in Lob. latilobata or apically straight as in Lobosciara trilobata). The five known species are distributed in the Malay Archipelago (Borneo, Malay Peninsula, Sulawesi), Thailand, Micronesia and Australia.
Distribution. Australia, Queensland; Indonesia, Sulawesi.

description: Apatemon sp. I
(1. Apa1; Figs. 1, 2–3)
Stages: sporocysts (daughter) and cercariae
Host: Potamopyrgus antipodarum
Site in host: Sporocysts primarily in mantle, but also in digestive gland and basal visceral mass
Voucher localities: Mohaka River, North Island, New Zealand (-39.0805o lat, 177.1403o long); Mataura River, South Island (-46.3894o lat, 168.7968o long)
Prevalence: 2% (n = 100) at Mohaka River; 1% (n = 100) at Mataura River
Specimens deposited: USNPC #s: 105672-105674.
Diagnosis: Sporocysts active, opaque, elongate (at least 10:1 length:width). Length ~2000. Developing cercariae appear to number over 100.
Cercaria non-oculate, longifurcate (tail fork length> 1/2 tail stem), pharyngeate, with anterior organ (modified oral sucker), and ventral sucker (a "Strigea cercaria"). Body length ~130. Tail stem and fork length about equal to each other and to body length.
Descriptive notes: Cercaria tail stem with transverse tegmental annulations, central excretory vessel surrounded by about 6–7 pairs of large “caudal bodies” (over ¼ tail width) [caudal bodies contain glycogen stores (Ginetsinskaya 1968)]. Anterior organ length 1/4 to 1/3 body length. Ventral sucker just post-equatorial, smaller (~ 1/3 the area) than the anterior organ (the modified oral sucker). Excretory bladder, small, V-shaped.
Remarks: I believe that this trematode corresponds to Winterbourn’s “F1”, despite his reporting the cercarial tail stem to be relatively much shorter (half the body length instead of approximately equal length) and the sporocysts to have a length:width ratio of only about 4:1, versus 10:1. Winterbourn appears to have had very little material to examine and the specimen he measured may not represent the typical condition.
I had recognized this trematode as likely belonging to the Strigeidae or the Diplostomidae (both within the superfamily Diplostomoidea). Dr. Bronwen Presswell (University of Otago) recently informed me that it is, indeed, one or more species of the strigeid genus, Apatemon (personal communication). She has a manuscript in preparation documenting this, and that it uses small fishes as second intermediate hosts and ducks as final hosts.

(Fig. 11 D–F)
Material examined. 13 and 3ƤƤ found within host Anonconotus occidentalis Carron and Wermeille, 2002 (Orthoptera) in Italy, Piemonte, Monte Viso SW of Torino (44°41'N, 7°6'E) (col. September 1990 by Otto von Helversen). The specimens are stored in the collection of A. Schmidt-Rhaesa as numbers 1026–1029.
Description. The specimens are light brown. The body color is very light brown; white spots and dark median lines are absent.
The postcloacal crescent is semicircular and directly at the point of bifurcation (Fig. 11 C). It does not extend much onto the tail lobes. The tail lobes are about twice as long as broad, the inner side is slightly concave. There are densely covering contaminations in several regions of the posterior end (Fig. 11 C).
The cuticle is structured into oval to polygonal areoles, which partly fuse to form rows running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (Fig. 11 E,F). No further cuticular structures are present.
Remarks. The characters present in the cuticle correspond to those described for G. plicatissimus Heinze, 1952 from Austria and to G. gesneri Heinze, 1937 from Germany (Heinze 1937, 1952). The drawings of the posterior end of G. plicatissimus (Heinze 1952) are similar to what is observed in the newly reported specimens; therefore it is assumed that they belong to this species.

Type material: Not extant.
Remarks: Chamberlin (1919) stated that the type of Sige californiensis was deposited at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, but today it is not present there and we consider it lost. Hartman (1936) synonymized S. californiensis with Sige bifoliata Moore, 1909. She did not mention examining Chamberlin’s material and the synonymy is likely based solely on a comparison of the descriptions. In the absence of type material it is difficult to verify or reject Hartman’s synonymy; Chamberlin’s original description is too brief and without any illustrations and we regard Sige californiensis as a nomen dubium. From the original description it would rather appear to belong to Pterocirrus (Pleijel 1990, 1991) and could possibly constitute a senior synonym of Pterocirrus montereyensis, but there is not enough information to assess this.

Literature: Mohrig (1999): 185–186, fig. 27 a–e.
Material. 1 male, Australia, Queensland, Mt Lewis, 37 km WSW of Port Douglas, 16°35´S, 145°16´E, wet forest, Malaise trap, leg. J. Seymour (PWMP).
Comments. The species is characteriZed by flagellomeres with a very rough surface, a yellowish scape and pedicel, yellow and black spotted body colour, only 2 long strong bristles on the ventral apex of the gonocoxite; 3– 4 fine hyaline spines below the apical hairs of gonostylus, a simple tegmen (as long as broad, apically rounded) and a small intergonocoxal space, with divergent hairs. The specimen from Australia differs somewhat regarding the last character. The intergonocoxal space is somewhat lobe-like with two patches of short divergent bristles (not enough for taxonomic separation).
Distribution. Australia, Queensland; Papua New Guinea.

(14. Mipo; Figs. 1, 25–27)
Stages: sporocysts (daughter) and cercariae
Host: Potamopyrgus antipodarum
Site in host: Sporocysts in gonad, digestive gland, basal visceral mass, and mantle
Voucher localities: Waimakariri River, South Island (-43.4148o lat, 172.6517o long); Opihi River, South Island (-44.1682o lat, 170.9422o long); Sutton Stream, South Island (-45.5971o lat, 170.0949o long)
Prevalence: 2% (n = 100) at Waimakariri; 2% (n = 100) at Opihi; 0.06% (n = 160) at Sutton
Specimens deposited: USNPC #s: 105688-105690
Diagnosis: Sporocyst translucent, globose to oblong (2:1 length:width). Length ~400–500. Developing cercariae number up to over 20.
Cercaria non-oculate with simple tail, no ventral sucker, prominent penetration glands, and oral stylet. Body length ~90–130. Tail length 1/2 to 1 times body length. Penetration glands post-equatorially in the third fourth of body. Stylet length ~12. Penetration glands can extrude contents into the gland ducts that become inflated anteriorly, resulting in gland bodies being less apparent. Penetration glands in many cercariae often opaque brown, in smaller, compact cluster just post-equator. In some infections, unusual cercariae occur alongside the normal cercariae: they are immobile, larger (length up to 180), elliptical, with the smaller, rounded, opaque, brown penetration glands, and appear to lack tail. I do not know whether this represents ontogenetic variation, dead cercariae, or something else.
Remarks: The “normal” cercariae from some infections are consistently under 100 microns long, while those from others appear to typically be around 130. This may represent intraspecific variation or the existence of multiple microphallid species.
This species appears to have not been included in Winterbourn (1974). However, explaining my working name, it is the “ Microphallus sp.” that has been the subject of several investigations out of Dr. Robert Poulin’s research group at Otago University, Dunedin, South Island. This work has focused on metacercariae, particularly their impacts on second intermediate hosts, which are copepods and amphipods (e.g., Coats et al. 2010; Hansen & Poulin 2005; Rauque et al. 2011). Please consult the literature for additional research.

Scape and base of flagellum dark bronze; flagellum up to 0.9 × FWL thickened by dark bronze scales; basal and apical thirds of flagellum outside the thickened part of it are white, whereas the medial third is brown. Tegulae and thorax brown. Forewing light brown; the area between 0.20 and 0.55 × FWL suffused with both dark brown and white scales (approximately in 5:1 ratio). The largest concentration of white scales occurs approximately at 0.3 × FWL near the costa. Apical part of forewing dark brown; oblique stripe straight, white, reaches 0.7 × forewing width; wing apex between the veins RS1 and M1 with glossy silver spot not touching wing margin. Fringe dark brown. Legs (only mid and hind legs present) bronze; first tarsomere white both basally and apically; tips of other tarsomeres white.
Distribution (Fig. 9). Indonesia (Irian Jaya).
Comments. The specimen is worn; hindwing and abdomen are missing.

description: Catharsius harpagus Harold, 1877
Edgar von Harold (1877) described this species from a vague locality of “ Afric. austral.” based on at least a male and a female specimen, giving a size range of 22–30 mm. Although Harold stated in his original description that the type specimens of C. harpagus were housed in ZMHB, the type series was found in the MNHN collections. This series consists of two males and one female, the larger male with a typical Harold type label (Figs. 1–2). Rather surprisingly, the two males pertain to the Asian Catharsius birmanensis Lansberge, 1874, while the female specimen is a West African Catharsius phidias (Olivier, 1789). In order to stabilise the taxonomy of this species by fixing the published name to a single specimen, the larger male with the following label data is here designated the lectotype:
“Afr. austr. / C. / Harpagus / Typ. Harold [cream-colored card with red border; handwritten] // Ex. Musaeo / E. Harold [cream-colored card with black border] // MUSEUM PARIS / ex coll. / OBERTHÜR / 1953 // LECTOTYPE / CATHARSIUS / harpagus / Harold / det. H Takano 2017 [white card with red border; partially handwritten]”.
Louis Péringuey (1901) synonymised C. harpagus under Catharsius laticeps Boheman, 1857 without giving any justification. Catharsius laticeps was described from a female specimen by Boheman and Péringuey incorrectly associated with it a male which belonged to a different species. The male specimen he described and figured as C. laticeps (Fig. 3) is unmistakably C. harpagus Harold and so, despite the incorrect assumption of this being the male of C. laticeps, he correctly synonymised C. harpagus under C. laticeps sensu Péringuey (nec Boheman).
Maria Corinta Ferreira (1971) re-examined the very male specimen upon which Péringuey based his description and correctly stated that this is not a male of C. laticeps nor is C. harpagus sensu Ferreira (nec Harold) a synonym of C. laticeps. She proceeded to describe this specimen as Catharsius parafastidiosus. The holotype in SANC (Figs. 4–5) with the following label data was examined:
“ no 3 / Copris laticeps / ♂ [cream-colored paper; handwritten in Péringuey’s hand] // HOLOTIPO ♂ / Catharsius parafas- / tidiosus n.sp. / M.C. Ferreira det., 1971 [partially handwritten in Ferreira’s hand] // HOLOTYPUS / ♂ [red card] // NATIONAL COLL. / OF INSECTS (SANC) / Pretoria, South Africa [black border] // TYPH00479 [red card]”.
Both C. harpagus and C. parafastidiosus are here synonymised with C. birmanensis thus:
