Nothochaetes howensis

description: Nothochaetes howensis sp. n. (Figs 4D–E, 5A–C, 11C–D, 12F)
Diagnosis. This species differs from N. fasciculatus in its larger size and lack of pronotal and elytral fascicles, and in having the anterior edge of the pronotum straight (not anteriorly produced), the hypomeral carina straight and oblique (not strongly curved), the postcoxal lines on the metaventrite sharply defined, the phallobase about twice as long as wide and anteriorly rounded and the penis with a distinctive arrowhead-like apex (Fig. 12 F). Description. Length 2.6–3.2 mm. Body length/elytral width 1.20–1.36. Color of dorsal surfaces dark reddish-brown to black; ventral surfaces similar or slightly lighter; antennae, legs and palps reddish-brown. Dorsal vestiture of long and short, erect, thickend acute, reddish-brown bristles and a number of very short, fine setae; bristles on pronotum somewhat curled but not forming fascicles; surfaces usually covered with debris. Ventral surfaces with short, fine hairs. Punctation of head, pronotum, elytra and ventral surfaces coarse and dense. Pronotum about 0.38–0.44 times as long as wide; anterior edge straight, not produced forward; sides sinuate with sharp lateral carinae; posterior pronotal angles acute. Hypomeral carina straight and oblique. Elytra about 0.82–0.97 times as long as wide and 2.17–2.57 times as long as pronotum. Metaventrite with sharply defined postcoxal lines; discrimen about half as long as ventrite. Metacoxal plates gradually narrowed laterally. Abdominal ventrite 5 with posterior impression, deeper in male. Phallobase about twice as long as wide, broadly rounded anteriorly; parameres subequal in length to phallobase, gradually narrowed to middle, then slender, parallel-sided and narrowly rounded at apex; penis slender and parallel-sided, with enlarged, arrowhead-like apex.
Distribution. Known only from Mt. Gower on Lord Howe Island.

Latheticomyia

description: Latheticomyia sp.
One female specimen appears to be close to L. infumata Wheeler. It agrees with most of the description and the figures of L. infumata described only from female specimens, but differs in the size of the yellow triangular spot on the scutum, which is shorter. Since L. infumata was described from Nicaragua, and the specimen in question is from Peru, it is quite possible that they are different species. It also appears to be close to L. xantha sp. nov., but differs in the size of the yellow triangular spot on the scutum (longer in L. xantha sp. nov.) and the coloration of the legs, in that the fore tibia of this female is entirely yellow, the mid femur is yellow with the base brown and the hind femur is mainly brown with a yellow spot medially. In L. xantha sp. nov., described only from male specimens, the fore tibia has the basal half yellow and the distal half dark brown, the mid femur is entirely yellow and the hind femur is entirely brown. There are only two species described from male and female specimens in Latheticomyia, L. lineata Wheeler and L. tricolor Wheeler, and both sexes have the same general appearance and because this specimen do not fit quite well neither discussed species above (L. infumata and L. xantha sp. nov.) we prefer to leave it as unidentified.

description: Xanthodisca rega Mabille, 1890
Evans (1937) treated X. rega Mabille 1889 as the West African subspecies of X. vibius, but Carcasson (1981) and Ackery et al. (1995) treat it as a distinct subspecies, and the two overlap in Cameroon (Larsen 2005). Described from Sierra Leone, this species is found from Senegal, west to Cameroon and Gabon (Ackery et al. 1995, Larsen 2005), although Vande Weghe (2010) considers the record from Gabon unlikely to be correct. In Côte d’Ivoire, Vuattoux (1999) reared three specimens of this species from Aframomum cereum (as A. sceptrum) collected in July 1979 and December 1988. Larsen (2005) and Vande weghe (2010) repeat this food plant record. MJWC also reared this species once in Côte d’Ivoire from a final instar caterpillar collected on an Aframomum sp. (reminiscent of A. orientale) on 3 June 1989.
The leaf shelter was on one of the lower leaves; only the basal third of the leaf remained, and it was folded upwards along the midrib. About four days before the prepupa, the caterpillar was 30mm long; head brown, slightly paler adjacent epicranial suture; rugose; widest nearer base, 2.4 x 2.7mm wide x high; body translucent dull, dark green, the dorsal line darker, brown gonads visible on A5; anal plate with an unusual black dot on the posterior margin; spiracles pale; all legs concolorous. The 18mm pupa (Figure 24) had a transverse row of three very short frontal projections (Figure 24.2); thorax brown, abdomen whitish brown; T1 spiracle surrounded by a dark brown C-shaped rim similar to that of X. vibius, the central hole measured 0.66mm across ventrally-dorsally, and the rim measured 0.46mm across dorsally, 0.22m posteriorly and 0.42mm ventrally, i.e. rather narrower than that of X. vibius; a white streak just anterodorsal to T1 spiracle. The adult emerged after 18 days.

Other specimens: 3♂ 1♀, Longxishan, Jiangle, Fujian, China, 8 August, 2014, collected by Hui-Fang Guo and Gang Wang, 1♂, Huangkeng, Jianyang, Fujian, China, 16 August, 2014, collected by Hui-Fang Guo and Gang Wang; 1♀, Tongben, Wuyishan, Fujian, China, 21 August, 2014, collected by Hui-Fang Guo and Gang Wang; 1♀, Jiulongshan, Hezhou, Zhejiang, 15 August, 2014, collected by Juan-Xia Di and Ping Wang; 1♀, Tianmushan, Lin’an, Zhejiang, China, 1 August, 2014, collected by Juan-Xia Di and Ping Wang; 1♂, Huangchayao, Lishui, Zhejiang, China, 16 August, 2014, collected by Juan-Xia Di and Ping Wang.
Description. Female. Pronotum short, disc comparatively flat. Tegmen absent. Tenth abdominal tergite slightly concave at posterior margin. Supra anal plate triangular, apex rounded. Cerci conical, apices acute. Ovipositor clearly curved upwards, base stout, apex acute, ventral margin of ovipositor with small teeth at apical area. Subgenital plate broad and nearly trapezoidal, posterior margin truncatus, the middle of posterior margin with a very small notch. Disc of pronotum dark brown, only lateral lobe with narrow black edge along posterior margin.
Discussion. Lipotactes truncates Shi & Li, 2009 was published earlier than Lipotactes baishanzuensis, Liu, Zhou & Bi, 2010, so Lipotactes baishanzuensis is a synonym of Lipotactes truncatus.
Distribution. China (Fujian, Zhejiang).

Hypoleucis

description: Hypoleucis Mabille, 1891
Hypoleucis is a small Afrotropical genus of just three species (Evans 1937, Ackery et al. 1995). Evans (1937) and Ackery et al. (1995) treat the type species of the genus, H. tripunctata Mabille as having three subspecies, but Larsen (2005) raises doubts as to whether subspecies are justified ‘since any population shows considerable variation’. Vuattoux (1999) reared H. tripunctata tripunctata once from Aframomum alboviolaceum (as A. latifolium) in June 1973 and once from A. cereum (as A. sceptrum) in July 1979 at Lamto, Côte d’Ivoire (repeated as Aframomum in Vande weghe 2010). The common H. ophiusa (Hewitson) feeds on Costus spp. (Costaceae) and is treated below. In contrast, Vuattoux (1999) reared the much rarer H. sophia Evans from Sorghum arundinaceum (Poaceae) once in February 1972 (repeated in Vande weghe 2010). It seems rather unlikely that different members of the same genus would feed on Zingiberales and Poaceae, so this record needs confirmation. However, it is worth noting Evans’ (1937) observation that H. sophia differs from the other two species in having no forewing brand and very special, completely different palpi, the third segment being comparatively long, pointed and in continuation of the second segment; but in appearance, antennae, venation and wing shape it does not differ from the other species. It is almost certainly not congeneric (T.B. Larsen pers. comm. 2015). We have no other information on the early stages of H. tripunctata and H. sophia.

Redescription. Male. Pronotum slightly shorter than wider, anterior half of disc with a pair of big black markings, posterior margin with black edge.
Female. Ovipositor clearly curved upwards, base stout, apex acute, ventral margin of ovipositor with small teeth at apex area. Subgenital plate nearly semicircular, apex with a small notch.
Discussion. Lipotactes vietnamicus Gorochov, 1993 is firstly recorded in China. Though the specimens we examined illustrate a few difference with the original description, we concluded that these specimens are Lipotactes vietnamicus. The male specimens were soaked in alcohol, so the male specimens were discolored.
Distribution. China (Guangxi), Vietnam.

Leona

description: Leona Evans, 1937
Evans (1937) established this genus with L. leonora (Plötz) as the type species for nine (now twelve) species of Afrotropical skippers, which he considered very closely allied to Pteroteinon and Caenides. Evans (1937) recognised three groups: (1) four species having the UNH dark brown with inconspicuous markings (2) one species (L. leonora) with UNH with large white central spots in line in base of space lC, cell and space 7; discal spots in spaces lC and 2, and (3) four (now seven) species with conspicuous ochreous markings UNH.
Lindsey & Miller (1965) and Ackery et al. (1995) treated Leona as a synonym of Caenides, but Larsen (2005) treated it as a valid genus. Based on the male genitalia (uncus pointed in Caenides and bifid in Leona) and some external characters they do seem to divide into these two groups, apart from L. lissa Evans which feeds on Dracaena spp. (Cock et al. 2015) and L. luehderi (Plötz) for which the food plants are unknown; these two species may require a separate genus (T.B. Larsen pers. comm. 2015).
Leona group (1) includes L. maracanda (Hewitson), a palm-feeding species treated in Cock et al. (2014) and three species of unknown biology. The biology of L. leonora, the only species in group (2) is unknown, although Heath et al. (2002) suggest its food plant is possibly Zingiberaceae. Of the seven species in group (3), L. stoehri (Karsch) is reported to feed on Amomum sp. (likely to refer to Aframomum sp.) in Uganda (Le Pelley 1959, Sevastopulo 1975), L. halma Evans is reported to feed on Amomum sp. (Kielland 1990) or Aframomum sp. (Heath et al. 2002, Larsen 2005, Vande weghe 2010) (but this may be carried over from when L. halma was treated as a ssp. of L. stoehri), and L. lissa feeds on Dracaena sp(p). (Cock et al. 2015), while the biology of the other four species is unknown. Given that there has been some taxonomic confusion within group (3) as well as in the food plant names used, confirmation of these food plants is desirable.
Based on the food plants alone, one might anticipate that Leona as presently constituted is paraphyletic. Unfortunately we have no information on the early stages of any Leona spp. apart from L. maracanda (Cock et al. 2014) so cannot comment further, or on whether the Zingiberaceae-feeding species show affinities with the Zingiberaceae- and Costaceae-feeding Semalea, Xanthodisca, Hypoleucis and Caenides spp.

Specimens examined: One female (UN 1207), Jinja - Rossel Is[land], M.B.P. [Milne Bay Province], PNG [Papua New Guinea], Oct[ober] 1981 (labels Fig 28).
Description of female specimen. Head: L/W=16/6=2,7. Black, prominent eyes. Between antennal sockets and vertex deep triangular impression with fine pubescence and dark brown-rusty, pulverulence, faint metallic lustre in scratched areas. Triangular depression bordered by black ridge. Antennae reaching just beyond middle of pronotum. First joint club-shaped, black, followings brown, second sub-cylindrical, third, two times as long as broad, following eight slightly longer than broad. Scutellum small, trapezoid, blue. Pronotum black, broader than long, L/W=0,6, at each side large impression covered with dark brown-rusty pulverulence like that in head impression. At scratched areas silvery-metallic lustre. Pronotum with deep punctuation, centrally planning, at base excavated, no furrow centrally. Elytra: L/W=1,9, parallel in half of its length, thereafter tapering to one spine apices with marked denticulation. Elytra regularly punctuated-striated. Ventral side: Prosternum broad, prosternal process coarsely and densely punctuated. On metepisterna, metacoxae and 2–5 ventrites laterally with dfp. Anal ventrite with short and narrow notch. Legs: Femur blueblack with short pubescence, ventral side with dark brown pads like velvet, (femoral brushes); tibiae blueblack until distal part, brown, tarsi yellow-brown.
Flight period: This specimen was captured in October.
Comments: In Kerremans (1909), the Louisiade Archipelago was then named Iles du Sud-Est. In this Archipelago (Fig. 32), a large number of small islands are included. Misima Island and Rossel Island are larger islands that have moist tropical rainforests with Pandus, Diospyrus and Hopea trees together with other species not yet described. The main threat to the forest is logging and converting the forest to agricultural land and, not least, gold mining.

Caenides

description: Caenides Holland, 1896
Holland (1896) established this genus with the palm-feeding C. dacela (Hewitson) as type species. Nine species are currently considered to belong to this genus, but C. hidaroides Aurivillius and C. dacena (Hewitson) do not belong on morphological and male genitalia grounds (Larsen & Collins 2011, 2014). As is the case for Leona (above) the food plants of species currently placed in the genus Caenides are diverse, suggesting that the genus may be paraphyletic. Caenides dacela is recorded from Phoenix reclinata (Arecaceae) and was treated in Cock et al. (2014). Caenides soritia (Hewitson) has been reported from an undetermined Zingiberaceae (Sevastopulo unpublished, 1975) and oil palm, Elaeis guineensis (Arecaceae) in Côte d’Ivoire (Vuattoux 1999, Larsen 2005, Vande weghe 2010), but the latter food plant is considered an error below. Caenides kangvensis Holland has been reared from Thalia geniculata (Marantaceae) and Gloriosa superba (Colchicaceae) in Côte d’Ivoire (Vuattoux 1999, Larsen 2005, Vande weghe 2010). Liliaceae are not members of the Zingiberales, and so this food plant record needs confirmation (Larsen 2005, Cock et al. 2014). We present information below on C. soritia and C. dacena (Hewitson), the food plants of which are Costus spp. (Costaceae). The food plants and early stages of the remaining Caenides spp. are as yet unknown.

Dysderella Dunin, 1992: 67
(type species: Dysdera transcaspica Dunin & Fet, 1985), syn. nov.
Remarks
Dunin (1992) described the genus Dysderella and transferred the species Dysdera caspica and Dysdera transcaspica Dunin & Fet, 1985 to it. He designated D. transcaspica as the type species of this genus. However, he did not explicitly transfer it as a new combination, nor did he provide diagnostic differences to distinguish Dysderella from Dysdera. Zamani et al. (2023a) diagnosed and redescribed the genus Dysderella and described one more species, namely D. elburzica. The diagnosis of the genus they proposed, in our opinion, is not correct. According to the authors, it differs from Dysdera by the smaller size (i.e., carapace <2.1 mm vs> 4 mm) and the spineless legs I and II. We think, the size is not a reliable diagnostic character for Dysderidae. There are some small-sized species of Dysdera, like D. zonsteini Dimitrov, 2021 with size of the carapace 1.65 mm. The spineless legs I and II are typical for the Dysdera longirostris species group (Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman 1988) and this character does not separate the two genera either. The molecular analysis shows that D. caspica belongs to the longirostris group of Dysdera (sensu Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman 1988). We could not sequence D. transcaspica and D. elburzica, but due to their high morphological resemblance to D. caspica, they should also fall in this group. Additionally, the three species share morphological features with Dysdera, such as scopulae on the posterior metatarsi, claw tufts on all tarsi, and a notched anterior edge of the labium. They also share the spineless legs I and II with D. longirostris species group which further supports the results from the molecular analyses. Thus, we propose to transfer the three of them back to Dysdera and consider Dysderella as a junior synonym of Dysdera.
