Hypogastrura distincta

description: Hypogastrura distincta (Axelson, 1902)
Syn.: Hypogastrura itaya Kinoshita, 1916
Material examined. Four females and six males, China: Tibet, Leiwuqi County, side of highway from Enda Town to Binda Town, 6.viii.1997, collection number 9397, coll. Ming Wu; Three females and three males, China: Tibet, Chayu County, Jigong town, 18.vii.1997, collection number 9395, coll. Ming Wu.
Diagnosis. Microsetae and macrosetae moderately differentiated. Abd. IV–VI with knobbed macrosetae. Integumentary granulation fine. Labrum with four rounded papillae and 4/5, 5, 4 setae. Maxilla as H. viatica - type. Ant. IV with simple apical bulb and dorsally with 4–5 curved and thin sensilla. Ant. I with seven setae, without p seta. Tibiotarsi I–III with 3, 3, 4 knobbed tenent hairs respectively. Unguis with an inner tooth, without lateral teeth. Unguiculus with small but distinct basal lamella. Dens with five setae. Length ratio of dens: mucro as 3.2–3.5:1. Ventral tube with 4+4 setae. Tenaculum with 3+3 teeth.
Remarks. The species Hypogastrura distincta has been found mainly in the Holarctic region so far (North America, Europe, Korea and Japan), and also in the Oriental region (Nepal). It is reported from Tibet for the first time here. The species is easily identified by the character combination of knobbed or clavate macrosetae on Abd. IV–VI and 3, 3, 4 tenent hairs present on tibiotarsi I–III. The Tibetan specimens are very close to those from Korea (Lee 1979) and Russia (Babenko et al. 1994) in body dorsal chaetotaxy and moderate differentiation between macrosetae and microsetae. They slightly differ from Alaskan specimens (Fjellberg 1985) in the lateral macrosetae on Abd. IV–VI being weakly knobbed and m2 seta on Abd. V weakly knobbed or pointed rather than distinctly knobbed as in specimens from Alaska.
Ecology. Found in leaf litter.

description: Acalyptris argentosa (Puplesis & Robinson, 2000), new combination by Stonis et al. 2017: 502.
(Figs 31–42)
Material examined. 2 ♂ (paratypes), BELIZE, Cayo District, Chiquibul Forest Reserve, Las Cuevas, 3– 16.iv.1998, R. Puplesis & S. Hill, ♂ genitalia & wing venation slide no. AD875 (LEU, with further re-deposition in ZMUC) (Note: all remaining specimens of the type series are deposited in BMNH).
Remarks. The species was described and illustrated by Puplesis & Robinson (2000: 57; Figs 60, 205, 206) as a taxon with uncertain and provisional taxonomic position. On the basis of our recent detailed re-examination, argentosa was transferred from the genus Glaucolepis Braun to Acalyptris Meyrick (Stonis et al. 2017). In the course of our study, we made some new findings about the morphological characters of A. argentosa, specifically the wing venation and particularly wing scaling, with hitherto unnoticed and hardly visible but very specific androconia. Below we provide only novel data, i.e. data which were missing in the original description of the species.
Male (Fig. 31) forewing brown on underside (Fig. 32). Forewing venation with a distinctive closed cell (Fig. 33) contrasting with an indistinctive cell shifted to the forewing base as in most of the studied Acalyptris species. Hindwing with an oval-shaped androconial structure on upper side (Figs 34, 35). Hindwing underside with a large basal cluster of pale brown (distally whitish cream) lamellar scales (Figs 36, 37). Both androconial structures of hindwing, particularly the large cluster on hindwing underside, make this species unusual, but the structures are hardly visible or not visible at a certain angle; they can be noticed only by rotating the specimen and preferably over a dark background. For other details of male morphology, see Puplesis & Robinson 2000: 57; Figs 60, 205, 206.
Male genitalia (Figs 38–42) exhibit characters shared with many other Acalyptris except for a weakly developed apical process of valva (Fig. 40) and ill-defined lateral apodeme (Figs 39, 40).
Bionomics. Adults fly in April. Otherwise unknown.
Distribution. The species is known from the rainforest habitat in Belize, Central America.

Notes. The type of Malthodes viridiventris (Motschulsky, 1853), as of all the other types of Cantharidae from the territory of Russia and adjacent countries, as mentioned above, appears to have been lost.
However, the description of M. viridiventris seems to be fairly clear (the species is placed in the group with ‘corselet unicolore, obscure, large, peu incliné sur les cotes, qui sont sinueux’): “De la forme élargie du Hapal. biguttatus, mais beaucoup plus petit, à peu près de la taille du Hapal. morio, avec lequel il a la plus grande ressemblance. Couleur aussi noir, premières segments de l’abdomen d’un vers jaunâtre sale, genoux et tarses brunâtres. Corselet très transversal, au milieu avec une large impression longitudinale, cotes latéraux concaves, ce qui fait surtout ressortir les angles qui sont un peu relevés. Élytres plus longues que chez Hapal. morio. Segment pygidial du dessus prolonge chez le mâle en tarrière droite, tandis que le celui du dessous a l’apparence d’un Y grec, pas plus long que les appendices des cotés latéraux. Ile de Walaam sur le Lac de Ladoga” [Motschulsky, 1853: 12]. This description of a malthinine from northern Russia fits only to M. brevicollis, a very common Malthodes species in the area (Fig. 9). Therefore, Malthodes viridiventris (Motschulsky, 1853), syn. n. is proposed to be regarded as a junior synonym of Malthodes brevicollis (Paykull, 1798).

Type species: Isoplastus bimaculatus Kieffer [= Tanypus nebulosus Meigen], by original designation.
Remarks. Bethbilbeckia Fittkau et Murray was transferred as a subgenus to the genus Macropelopia by Cranston & Epler (2013) because of their resemblances in all life stages. It was supported by morphological and molecular analyses (Siri & Donato 2015, Silva & Ekrem 2016, Krosch et al. 2017), although Watson (2010: 339) stated that in spite of similarities to Macropelopia, B. floridensis lacks several characters considered diagnostic for that genus. More recently, in the description of the second species of the subgenus, Macropelopia (Bethbilbeckia) chilensis from the Neotropical region, Andersen (2018: 89) wrote, “However, based on the material at hand the species shows a mixture of characters found either in the subgenus Bethbilbeckia or in Macropelopia (s. str.), indicating that the status of Bethbilbeckia as a separate subgenus should be reconsidered.”
Two species groups, the notata and the nebulosa groups, are currently recognized in Macropelopia s. str., generally based on the pupal morphology; abdominal segment VII with 5 LS-setae in the former, whereas 6 LS-setae in the latter (Fittkau 1962, Roback 1978, Fittkau & Murray 1986).

description: A high degree of heterogeneity in key macroeconomic indicators is characteristic of Russia’s regions. This may cause an asymmetric reaction of regional economies to various shocks, including common monetary policy shocks. The purpose of this study is to develop a tool for analysing the economy of the Far Eastern macroregion (FEMR): a semi-structural model that takes into account the particularities of the Russian Far East. These include the region’s smaller contribution to main national macroeconomic indicators compared to the other macroregion’s, greater integration into Asia-Pacific markets in contrast to the country as a whole, and a high share of external demand-oriented industries in output. The model is used to estimate the contribution of internal and external shocks to the dynamics of the main macroeconomic variables of the FEMR such as output and inflation. By comparing the contribution of shocks to output and inflation in 2016-2022, we show that oil price shocks and fiscal policy shocks contributed more to the development of the output gap in the Far Eastern macroregion than in Russia as a whole in this period. This is due to the heavy dependence of the Far East economy on oil exports and the influx of funds from the federal budget to implement large investment projects. However, external sector shocks made a smaller contribution to the dynamics of the macroregion’s output gap in comparison with the entire country. Compared to Russia as a whole, inflation in the Far Eastern macroregion has greater inertia and dependence on service price shocks but less contribution of food price shocks. The reason is the low self-sufficiency of the macroregion in food, as a result, a significant share of products is delivered from other regions. This determines a high share of logistics costs in the price of final consumer goods, which in some periods partially offset the high volatility of food prices.

(Figs 3, 14–17)
Material. Holotype, ♂ (ICM): “ South Russia, NW Caucasus, Sochi, Khosta, 3-9.V.2011, N. Vikhrev leg.”.
Diagnosis. Malthodes vikhrevi sp. n. is related to M. caucasicus Wittmer, 1958 and M. adjaricus Wittmer, 1992, distinguishable, from the former, by the shorter paired apical processes of the terminal sternite and conspicuously concave pre-apically, in lateral aspect, median lobe of the aedeagus, and from the latter, by the distinctly widened, in lateral view, laterophyses (Figs 14–17).
Description. Male. Dark brown to black; pronotum broadly at angles and knees light brown.
Head transverse. Eyes small, interocular dorsal distance ca. 2.3 times greater than eye diameter. Antennae filiform, long, attaining by antennomere 10 to apices of folded wings, with antennomere 3 ca. 1.3 times longer than pedicel (antennomere 2) and ca. 1.2 times shorter than antennomere 4; pubescence sub-erect and relatively short (Fig. 3).
Pronotum transverse, ca. 1.2 times as wide as long, convex basally and slightly concave anteriorly, almost straight at sides, margined before bulging anterior angles, with small rounded anterior and posterior angles. Scutellum triangular, rounded at apex (Fig. 3).
Elytra elongate, 2.6 times as long as wide at humeri, shortened, slightly narrowing distally; with coarse punctation in distal third; apices somewhat swollen (Fig. 3).
Legs long and slender, tibiae straight, noticeably longer than femurs, tarsi narrow, hind tarsus ca. 1.5 times shorter than hind tibia (Fig. 3).
Terminal tergite transverse, widening distally, with elongate paired apical processes, penultimate tergite elongate, somewhat constricted in the middle, with unmodified sides; terminal sternite elongate, narrowed before apex, with relatively short paired apical processes (Figs 14, 15).
Aedeagus widening distally, with relatively short and concave before apex, in lateral aspect, median lobe, elongate, rounded and slightly widening distally parameres and distinctly widened, in lateral aspect, laterophyses (Figs 16, 17).
Length (from anterior head margin to end of folded wings): 4 mm. Width (humerally): 0.8 mm.
Female. Unknown.
Etymology. The new species is named after Dr Nikita Vikhrev (Moscow, Russia), who collected the type specimen.

Material examined. Holotype of Macropelopia grandivolsella: M (BNKU), labelled “BDN No. 11883”, CHINA: Hubei Prov., Hefeng County, Fenshuiling, 17.vii.1999, B.C. Ji. Paratype of Macropelopia grandivolsella: 1M (BNKU), labelled “BDN No. 13779”, CHINA: Hubei Prov., Xianfen City, Gong River, 25.vii.1999, B.C. Ji. Nontype: 1 Pe, CHINA: Beijing City, Beijing Botanical Garden, Cherry Valley, 40°00'39.75"N 116°12'06.64"E, alt. 141 m, 22.ix.2011.
Remarks. In the original description of Macropelopia grandivolsella Wang, Cheng et Wang, 2011, the authors (op. cit.: 4125, 4126) wrote, “Wing with brown markings on basal of Cu1 and cell r4+5. Tergite IX developed, without setae. Inferior volsella conspicuous, large and strong.” However, reexaminations of the holotype and paratype males revealed that the wing has more extensive markings on the cross-veins and membrane (Figure 2A), the abdominal tergite IX bears 30–32 posterior setae, and that in both the specimens, the hypopygium (Figure 2B) was crushed by the cover-glass and the base of the gonocoxite was produced inwards. The characters of this species, including the abdomen with strongly pigmented central and lateral markings on the tergites I–IV, and the yellow femora with a broadly brown caudal margin, are consistent with those of M. (Macropelopia) paranebulosa Fittkau redescribed by Niitsuma et al. (2004).
The pupal exuviae collected from Beijing City in 2011 by the first author has the characters of M. (Macropelopia) paranebulosa as in Table 2. It strongly supports the wide distribution of this species in Palaearctic (Beijing) and Oriental China (Hubei) as well as Palaearctic Japan (Niitsuma et al. 2004) and Russia (Makarchenko & Petrova 1988).

(Fig. 6 A–H)
Scymnus medanensis Eizaguirre 2007: 109.
Material examined. Montaña Cardon, 23.III.2017 1 ex. on L. arborescens; Cofete 07.VIII.2017 1 ex. on succulent, La Pared 05.VIII.2017 1 ex. and 12.VIII.2017 2 exx., all on succulents.
Distribution. Endemic Canarian species, described recently from specimens coming from Tenerife (Eizaguirre 2007). New to Fuerteventura.
Remarks. Eizaguirre (2007), in his description of the species, did not give a full illustration of the characters. Here we provide detailed illustrations of the male and female genitalia as well as the abdomen. The antennae possess 11 antennomeres (Fig. 6G) and the abdominal postcoxal lines are rounded, complete, reaching anterior margin (Fig. 6A), which supports the placement of this species in the subgenus Pullus Mulsant. The parameres are smooth on the inner margin (Fig. 6E) and shorter than the penis guide (Fig. 6D). The penis guide is very characteristic with its harpoon-shaped apex (Fig. 6E). The penis is strongly recurved with the apical part somewhat sinuate; a small membranous field is present at 2/3 of its length; the apex is membranous with a sclerotized, curved thorn-like process (Fig. 6H). Spermatheca as in Fig. 6B.
