Prionodrypta

description: Prionodrypta Jeannel, 1949
Type species: Drypta mandibularis Castelnau, 1897
This genus, very synthetically described by Jeannel (1949), is scarcely known, so that none of the few authors who have mentioned it has noticed its peculiar characters and its complete independence from the “true” Drypta, rather treating it as a simple subgenus of Drypta (Lorenz, 2005), or implicitly considering it a synonym of Drypta (Baehr, 2003, 2017).
In our opinion it is a well distinguished genus, probably related to Nesiodrypta and forming with it and with Megadrypta, here described, a group of Gondwanian origin, The completely beaded sides of pronotum seem to us a more primitive character compared to the unbeaded sides of Drypta and Dendrocellus, indicating a more ancient group from which probably the other two genera have later evolved.
It contains 8 species from South-East Asia (India, Myanmar, Indonesia, China, Laos), still inadequately known; a revision would be useful.
The unique combination of characters distinguishing this genus is: pronotal bead well marked, with margin serrate (fig. 11); punctuation on head sparse, often leaving the frons smooth, on pronotum dense and irregular, with the punctures often confluent; pronotum evidently constricted towards base; elytral microsculpture almost absent, intervals smooth; elytral pubescence only aligned along the striae; single scutellar pore; intervals rather convex; tarsal claws thick, strongly curved, smooth on inner side; no setae, or a rudimental one, on outer side of stylomere (fig. 6).

Dendrocellus

description: Dendrocellus Schmidt-Goebel, 1846
Type species: Dendrocellus discolor Schmidt-Goebel, 1846 (= Desera nepalensis Hope, 1831)= Desera Hope, 1831 (nec Dejean, 1825) Type species: Desera nepalensis Hope, 1831
Bousquet (2002) and Liang et al. (2004) have correctly reconstructed the complex nomenclatorial history of this genus, reaching the conclusion that its valid generic name is Dendrocellus Schmidt-Goebel, 1846, instead of Desera Dejean, 1825, as it was frequently considered previously. We only observe that back in 1949 Jeannel already wrote: “Les Dendrocellus Schm. -Goeb. (type: discolor Schm. -Goeb.,= nepalensis Hope) sont généralement classés à tort sous le nom de Desera. … Malgré leurs ongles tarsaux pectinés, ils sont très voisins des Drypta s. str. ” (Jeannel, 1949). So, it seems the french author had already reached the same conclusions.
This genus, recently revised by Liang & Kavanaugh (2007), contains 22 species occuring in Africa, Asia and Australia. Systematically it is extremely close to Drypta, differing only in its tarsal claws pectinate instead of smooth. The genitalic characters of both sexes are the same, the external resemblance among members of the two genera is sometimes puzzling and a few species of Dendrocellus show very slight tarsal pectination, sometimes leaving a doubt on their generic pertinence; only a comparative study of all the characters of the species belonging to the two genera will allow to decide whether they can be really maintained as separate genera. Already in 1968 Darlington observed: “ Desera differs from Drypta only in having pectinate tarsal claws. A modern revision of the species is needed to show whether both genera are really monophyletic and distinct” (Darlington, 1968, p. 218).
The unique combination of characters distinguishing this genus from the others of the tribe is: pronotal bead absent or very rudimental (fig. 10); punctuation on head and pronotum dense, regular, the punctures usually well distinct from each other; pronotum very feebly constricted towards base; elytral microsculpture well developed; elytral pubescence dense, usually arranged in two-three more or less regular rows; scutellar pore constantly single; intervals flat or slightly convex; tarsal claws slender, more or less pectinate on inner side; two to five evident setae on outer side of stylomere (fig. 8).

This monobasic genus is the only known member of tribe Dryptini from the Neotropical region. The single species, known only from Brazil (“Ega”, today Tefé, in the state of Amazonas), is easily distinguishable by its unique combination of characters, i.e. elytra with strong, smooth costae, intervals wide and transversely striate; apex of elytra with external angle spiniform; claws smooth.

Nesiodrypta

description: Nesiodrypta Jeannel, 1949
Type species: Drypta perrieri Fairmaire, 1834
= Goniodrypta Jeannel, 1949 Type species: Drypta iris Castelnau, 1840
This genus, described by Jeannel (1949) at the same time as the preceding one, has been regarded as systematically close to it because of its well developed pronotal bead. Jeannel (1949) also described a subgenus Goniodrypta, distinct on the basis of an evident angle in the middle of the lateral pronotal margins. Although very evident, this character does not seem to us sufficient for a subgeneric distinction, so we agree with the opinion of Lorenz (2005), who regards it as a synonym of Nesiodrypta s. str.
This genus contains 18 species primarily occuring in Madagascar (15 species), but marginally also in continental Africa (3 species), with two species in East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) and one in Gabon, recently described (Facchini & Czeppel, 2011).
The unique combination of characters distinguishing this genus is: pronotal bead well marked, with sides not serrate (fig. 13); punctuation on head sparse, often leaving the frons smooth, on pronotum often limited to the lateral parts, the disc covered with transversal wrinkles; elytral microsculpture well developed; elytral pubescence limited to some small and sparse punctures, only in few cases some more regular punctures are aligned along the striae (except N. setigera, that shows a punctuation on head, pronotum and elytra almost as dense as in Prionodrypta; it is possible that future studies will show the necessity to isolate this species in a separate genus); scutellar pore single; intervals rather convex; tarsal claws thick, strongly curved, smooth on inner side; no setae, or a rudimental one, on outer side of stylomere (fig. 5).

description: Acalitus essigi (Hassan, 1928)
(Fig. 1)
Type host and locality. Hassan (1928) had not clearly specified the type host or locality but stated that A. essigi was first reported by Essig and Smith (1922) on Himalaya blackberry in California, USA. Keifer (1941) redescribed this species from Rubus vitifolius Cham. & Schlechtendal collected in Sacramento, California, to “definitely characterize the red-berry mite”.
Distribution. Widespread in Europe and the USA and also recorded from Australia, New Zealand, and Chile on many species of Rubus.
Relation to the host. The feeding activity of A. essigi is the causal agent of “red berry disease”, which results in incomplete, uneven ripening of the fruit, and is a particular problem for late maturing varieties (de Lillo & Duso, 1996).
Collection data. England, Norfolk, Norwich, commercial plant nursery site, low numbers of adult females and males on R. fruticosus, 26.viii.2009; England, Kent, Tonbridge, commercial plant nursery site, low numbers of adult females, males and nymphs on R. fruticosus, 07.x.2009 and 12.xi.2009.
Remarks. The first record of eriophyoid mites causing “red berry disease” in England appears to have been made by Massee (1931), who recorded damage from East Malling, Kent, and Kirdford, West Sussex, and listed the host plants as wild and cultivated blackberries, loganberry and Himalaya berry, but did not provide any specific plant names. Massee (1961) confirmed A. essigi from slide mounted specimens and reported it from Rubus spp. from East Malling, Preston, Lancashire and Southfleet, Kent, and reported it as “locally common”.

Distribution. England (recorded here), Poland (from R. laciniatus Willd) (Shi, 2000), Latvia (from Rubus sp.) (Rupais, 1976) and Spain (Roivainen, 1953).
Relation to the host. Vagrant, recorded as causing discoloration to the foliage (Shi, 2000).
Collection data. England, Kent, Tonbridge, commercial plant nursery site, low numbers of adult females, males and nymphs on R. fruticosus, 12.xi.2009. No host plant damage symptoms were observed.
Remarks. This is the first record of this species from plant material growing in Britain. Following Amrine et al. (2003), two forms of A. rubicolens were found in this population, a mature female with expanded dorsal annuli (Fig. 2) and a teneral female without expanded dorsal annuli (Fig. 3). The biological meaning of these two forms remains to be established.

Amrine & Stasny (1994) listed the type locality as “ Austria?”, however Nalepa described the species from samples collected by Schlechtendal, who worked in Germany.
Distribution. Widespread in Europe, USA, China and Russia on many species of Rubus (Keifer, 1975; de Lillo & Duso, 1996; Song et al., 2006). This species has not been formally recorded from Australia, but may be present in Tasmania (Scott et al., 2008).
Relation to the host. Causes mottling, yellowing, or discolouration to the foliage. The leaves can be crumpled and the berries may ripen prematurely and become dry.
Collection data. England, North Yorkshire, Burythorpe, high numbers of adult females, males and nymphs on the underside of the leaves of wild Rubus sp., 29.iv.2009, collected by J. C. Ostojá-Starzewski; England, Somerset, Frome, commercial plant nursery site, low numbers of adult females, males and nymphs on Rubus sp., 18.vi.2009, collected by Miranda Baldwin (Plant Health and Seeds Inspector).
Remarks. Phyllocoptes gracilis was first reported in Britain, as Phyllocoptes rubi, by Whitehead (1892), and later recorded by Bagnall and Harrison (1917 & 1928), Burkhill (1930) and Turk (1953). However, these records were apparently based on observed host damage symptoms alone and cannot be verified. Massee (1961) confirmed P. gracilis from slide-mounted specimens collected from R. idaeus, Raspberry, Himalaya Berry and Blackberry, from East Malling, Kent, and reported P. gracilis as “common.

description: Phoridae phallus
Studies and illustrations of Phoridae phallus are scarce, and generally each author adopts completely different terminology to name its different parts. Although there is no consensus in respect to the terminology and to the homology of the plates, most authors that studied this structure concluded that it is an important source of taxonomic information (Brown 1987a, 1987b; Nakayama 2012; Naumov 1985; Venturi 1966).
Proliferation of different terms and using no terms at all for some sclerites will not help to achieve good homology hypotheses. Therefore, the main six works with phallus description were studied and a table with the equivalent terms is proposed (Table 1).
Author / year Brown, 1987 a, b Venturi, 1966 Nakayama, 2007 Gotô, 1984 Naumov, 1985 Disney, 1999 The position, connection and special similarity of the phallic plates illustrated in these works were analyzed in this effort of terminology uniformization. Some difficulties in understanding the correspondence of terms were found as the authors studied different genera and sometimes illustrated different views in different level of detail. Many more morphological studies are needed to clarify these problems, but a uniform terminology represents the first feasible step towards homology hypotheses.
The terms used in this work are the same as Brown (1987a, 1987b, 1998), which follows the terms advocated by Emden & Hennig (1970), with few exceptions:
Phallus. The copulatory organ itself.
Basiphallus. The proximal sclerite, in Phoridae ring-shaped, that connects posteriorly to the distiphallus and ventrally to the hypandrium by the phallapodeme. Sometimes is projected posteriorly at dorsum.
Phallapodeme. Connection between the hypandrium and the venter of the basiphallus.
Distiphallus. All the rest of the copulatory organ. Brown (1987a, b) used the term referring to only part of what Emden & Hennig called distiphallus. Herein the distiphallus is used in Emden & Hennig’s sense, to the nonbasiphallus and non-phallapodeme parts of the phallus. The following terms correspond to parts of the distiphallus.
Right arm. Generally a large sclerotized structure adjacent to the basiphallus that sometimes turns ventrally and reaches the left lateral side. Can be connected to the epiphallus in its right and left part.
Epiphallus. Highly variable plate that generally extends under the core plate and sometimes bears scales or spines. Can connect to the right arm in both sides of the phallus.
Core plate. This term is taken from Nakayama (2007) to substitute the distiphallus in Brown’s terminology. It is a median large plate, sometimes membranous, that extended posteriorly from the basiphallus.

Mannheimsia

description: Mannheimsia Beyer, 1965
Mannheimsia Beyer, 1965: 28. Type species: M. stricta Beyer, 1965 (by monotypy). Chouomyia Liu, 1995: 185; Mostovski, 1997: 876; Brown, 2005: 133 (syn.).
Diagnosis. The new material examined allows the following additions to Brown’s diagnosis of Mannheimsia (Brown 2005): median furrow absent, flagellomere 1 globose or conical-elongate, 4–6 genal setae present, hind tibia with 1–2 large setae. Base of wing vein Rs with 1–2 setae. Except in the highly modified wing of M. tianzena, M1 slightly sinuous, posteriorly directed; M2 slightly sinuous or concave; CuA1 sinuous. Halter with apical black knob. Tergite 6 extending laterally on the abdomen. Hypoproct with two setae. Phallus. Basiphallus with no projections. Right arm extending from the dorsum to the right lateral, venter and half of the left lateral part of the phallus, adjacent to the basiphallus. Epiphallus transparent, with many rounded protuberances, connecting to the right arm in the left lateral. Epiphallus sometimes extends in a posterior transparent lobe. Core plate dorsally curved, highly varied in shape, with 1–3 long, dorsally-directed processes connected to its base.
Comments. The Mannheimsia phallus is a highly variable structure between the genus species, what makes homology proposals difficult. The homologies proposed in this study are the ones that best fit in the position and special similarity criteria, but the subject must still be considered open to investigation, as there are other almost equally conceivable hypotheses of homology possible.

Type host and locality. Rubus saxatilis L., Canestrini (1892) reported this species from the woods of Trentino, Italy, whilst Amrine & Stasny (1994) reported it from Southern Tirol, Austria.
Distribution. Widespread in the Palearctic region (Skoracka et al., 2005; de Lillo, 2004).
Relation to the host. Gall-making: it causes irregularly shaped pustules raised on both leaf surfaces, often reddish on the upper side, yellow-green on the under side with an oval opening.
Remarks. Recorded once by Bagnall and Harrison (1928) on R. saxatilis L. No further collection details were given, only references to Nalepa (1898), von Schlechtandal (1916) and Houard No. 3031 (1909) were provided. The identification was made on observed damage symptoms alone and cannot be verified, an issue discussed by Ostojá-Starzewski (2008).

Micrommata darlingi Pocock, 1901 b: 339 (Description of female; holotype female from ZIMBABWE: Mashonaland East: Mazoe [= Mazowe: ca. 17°30’37.78”S, 30°58’22.81”E, 1270 m; today listed as belonging to Mashonaland Central], J. ff. Darling, NHM 99.3.7.41; examined).
Distribution. Zimbabwe.
Notes. This species is definitely not congeneric with M. virescens by its genitalia (Figs 141–143) and therefore does not belong to the genus Micrommata. The exact systematic position cannot be determined at present. Its female copulatory organs are somewhat similar to those of Eusparassus Simon, 1903, as well as somatic characters such as eye arrangement, cheliceral dentition with 2 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth (Figs 144–148; Moradmand & Jäger 2012: e.g., figs 3A–B). However, differences between the two types of copulatory organs (e.g., MS freely visible or copulatory ducts not reaching the posterior part in “ Micrommata ” darlingi) suggest to wait for a definite transfer when males and probably molecular analyses are available.

Remarks. The species was described on the basis of a single male with incomplete genitalia. It is close to, if not conspecific with, E. triseriatella based on those characters that remain (see Traugott-Olsen 1988). Its status can be established only with further material from the type locality (Andorra).

Phallus description (Figs. 28–29). Right arm without dorsal projection. Epiphallus small, with a posterior lobe. Core plate bare and flattened, with one dorsally curved process.
Comments. The highly modified hypopygium and phallus makes M. stylodactyla an easily recognizable species but difficult in the proposal of homologies with the structures of other Mannheimsia species.
The name Chouomyia dactyloformis created by Liu (2001) is a lapsus for Chouomyia stylodactyla, not a new species proposal, and should not be considered a synonym as proposed by Brown (2005).

Type host and locality. R. fruticosus, Austria.
Distribution. Widespread in the Palearctic region (de Lillo, 2004; Skoracka et al., 2005).
Relation to the host. Gall-making: greyish-white erineum along veins, may extend to cover most of the upper or lower leaf surface.
Remarks. Epitrimerus gibbosus has been recorded in England as follows: by Swanton (1912) from R. plicatus Wheine & Nees; by Bagnall and Harrison (1928) on R. fruticosus from an unspecified location; by Burkhill (1930) on R. echinatus Lindl. from an unspecified location; by Niblett (1959) 11 times from the London area, on Rubus spp; by Turk (1953), who listed E. gibbosus as Species Incertae Sedis; and by Robbins (1997) on an unspecified host from Warwickshire. Epitrimerus gibbosus has been recorded three times by the British Plant Gall Society from Herefordshire, Surrey and Isle of Wight (Janet Boyd, pers. comm., 2009). These records were made on observed damage symptoms alone and cannot be verified. Massee (1931) confirmed the presence of this species in England on 28 different species of Rubus, including the cultivated blackberries and reported it again (Massee, 1961) as causing “mottling of leaves” on Rubus spp. from East Malling, Kent. He reported it as being “common”.

Description: Holotype male. Length 1.7–1.9 mm, 18 antennal segments, brown in alcohol. Abdominal segment VIII tapering dorsally in lateral view, setose lobe from posterolateral margin. Segment IX retracted within segment VIII, rounded anteriorly, posterodorsally with elongate tapering process, turning ventrad subapically; left process much longer than right; in dorsal view, elongate lateral processes asymmetrical, left process longer and more sinuate than right, anterior margin shallowly incised. Segment X in lateral view shelf-like and tapering to acute distal apex; dorsally deeply incised laterally, posteriorly with mesal incision. Subgenital plate in lateral view wide basally, tapering to bifid apex, dorsal process bearing stout seta, ventral process with acute, downturned apex; in ventral view tapering distally to bifid apex bearing pair of stout setae, ventral process rounded with margins sclerotized. Bracteoles reduced to a short setal-bearing lobe. Inferior appendages wide basally and apically, distally with multiple incisions and setose; in ventral view curving slightly mesad, distally bifid, inner process acute apically, outer process with numerous apical setal-bearing knobs, thin setal-bearing process from mesal margin. Phallus in ventral view divided into apical and basally sections with thin paramere encircling shaft at midlength tubular, apical portion tapering distally, with apex bending laterally, ejaculatory duct protruding subapically.
Female. Unknown.
Type material. Holotype, male— PANAMA, Chiriqui Province, Cuenca 108, tributary of Quebrada Grande at the waterfall, Valle Escondido, Boquete, 8.78291°N, 82.44579°W, 1253 m, 26 September
2015, B. and T. Armitage (COZEM). Paratypes — PANAMA, Boca del Toro Province, Cuenca 93, unnamed creek, Rambala Jungle Lodge, 3.7 km SSE Rambala, 8.91627°N, 82.15649°W, 9 August 2015, E. Carlson, 2 males (BJA).
Etymology. We take great pleasure in naming this species for Tatiana Arefina-Armitage who collected many of the specimens in Panama and who has contributed much to our knowledge of caddisflies around the world.
Remarks. Neotrichia tatianae belongs to a large cluster of neotropical species with a characteristic elongate process from segment IX, including N. cayada Harris and Davenport, N. colmillosa Harris, N. hajla Olah and Johanson, and N. gilmari Santos and Nessimian. The new species is readily identified by the structure of the inferior appendages, the asymmetrical nature of the processes from segment IX, and the very short lateral bracteoles.

Unlike them, it has no cornuti. In addition, the corpus bursae contains no signum, and the ductus bursae is gradually widened anteriorly.
Biology. Unknown.
Distribution. Tunisia, Morocco.
Remarks. E. arenbergeri is referred to as OTU 6 in Mutanen et al. (2015).

Elachista deresyensis Traugott-Olsen, 1988: 308.
Material studied. Turkey: Ürgüp, 19–21. VII.1998, 7 ♂, 1 ♀, 5 km NW Ürgüp, 17. VI.1999, 1 ♂ J. Junnilainen leg. (Coll. J. Junnilainen and MZH).
Diagnosis. E. deresyensis is a medium-sized species of the E. dispunctella compex, with white forewing, scattered with brown tips of scales. The male genitalia are similar to those of E. galactitella, but the uncus lobes of E. deresyensis are broader than in E. galactitella, as long as wide; those of E. galactitella are twice as long as wide. The female genitalia are similar to those of E. elsaella, both having a small colliculum with distinct sclerotized band. The anterior part of the ductus bursae is granulose with longitudinal ribs in E. deresyensis, smooth in E. elsaella.
Biology. Unknown.
Distribution. Turkey.
Remarks. Kaila (1999a) synonymized E. deresyensis with E. galactitella (Eversmann). Examination of new material suggests that the above synonymy is unjustified, and E. deresyensis is here re-instated as a valid species.
There is a sample of 29 males collected from Turkmenistan: Central part of the Kopetdagh Mts., 15 km W from Firyuza (now Poevryuze), Mt. Dushak, [2100 m a.s.l., mountain xerophytous belt, Juniperus tree savana-like forest], by light trap, VII 1990 V.V. Dubatolov leg. (SZMN, MZH); this taxon closely resembles E. deresyensis; externally its forewing maculation is black rather than brown, and in the male genitalia the valva is broader and the incision between uncus lobes deeper. Even though the external appearance seems to differ consistantly from E. deresyensis, there is some variation in the width of the valva, similar to E. elsaella. Due to the limited material and unknown female for the Turkmenian taxon, it is not formally named here.
