The host plant of this thrips, Tetrastigma nitens [Vitaceae], is widespread in rainforest areas of the Australian East coast from Sydney northwards. However, populations of the thrips and the distorted leaf-galls it induces have a patchy distribution. Adults are smaller than those of convergens, with the head and the tube shorter, and the legs uniformly yellow.

Aedeagus elongate, strongly arcuate in lateral view, with pair of thin processes originated from base of the shaft and running parallel to shaft, dorsal apodeme well developed, gonopore apical (Fig. 6F&G).
Remarks: This species was re-described and illustrated by Vilbaste (1969) based on examination of Matsumura’s type specimen at Hokkaido University. Although the male genital characters of our specimens from India closely resemble the illustrations of Matsumura’s type from Taiwan given by Vilbaste, some differences are apparent (description of type from Vilbaste in parentheses): pygofer rounded distally, with process straight and pointed (pygofer obliquely truncate distally with process curved and blunt tipped); apex of style more arcute (truncate); aedeagus in lateral view strongly arcuate (more or less straight). Examination of additional specimens from throughout the range of this species are needed to determine whether the variation noted here is discontinuous and may indicate that the Indian population represents a distinct species.

Description. Body (Figs 1, 2) length 1.79–1.84 mm, width 1.07 –1.15 mm. Dorsal part of head, pronotum, and elytra very dark brown to oily black, ventral part of body and three middle antennomeres dark chestnut brown; legs and apical and basal antennomeres light chestnut brown. Elytral hairs moderately long, barely curved, greenish yellow, not forming bands.
Head (Fig. 4) with flat vertex, lacking longitudinal ridge above antennal calli. Frontal ridge acute ventrally, followed by narrow longitudinal ridge beyond anterofrontal ridge into middle of clypeus. Anterofrontal ridge poorly developed laterally. Head surface sparsely covered with relatively long, well visible setae.
Pronotum (Fig. 3) 1.86 times wider than long. In lateral view apical part as convex as basal. Lateral margin straight. Anterolateral pore present. Two elongate elevations on pronotum short. Pronotal punctures large, spaced unevenly, distance between them about as small as diameter of puncture. On pronotal elevations punctures much sparser. Elytral punctures in striae spaced as far from each other as striae between themselves, interspaces flat. Basal calli projected. Metatibia with preapical tooth situated before tarsal insertion (Fig. 6).
Spermatheca with duct without coils, making two turns, first about 130° and second about 60° (Fig. 7). Anterior sclerotization of tignum slightly wider than middle part of it (Fig. 5). Posterior sclerotization of vaginal palpi with six or seven setae. Inner side of posterior sclerotization slightly curved, mid part slightly bulging. Vaginal palpi connected for more than half of their length (Fig. 5).
Male unknown.

Etymology. The specific name, derived from the Latin denticulatus, refers to a small tooth on the metatibia situated above the insertion of the metatarsus.
Remarks. Andersonaltica denticulata can be immediately separated from the rest of the species by the presence of the preapical tooth on the metatibia. The remaining four species lack this tooth. In addition, the pronotum of A. denticulata is much shorter than in the rest of the species.

Diagnosis
Chimarra lehibemavo sp. nov. is one of the largest Afrotropical species of the genus. Together with C. cebegepi sp. nov. and C. saha sp. nov. it forms a sub-group being characteristic in having a long and finger-shaped dorsal branch of tergum X (Fig. 2A 1, B1) and a long dorsal branch of the inferior appendage (Fig. 2A, C 3). Chimarra lehibemavo sp. nov. is characterized by the phallic internal sclerite which is stout and shorter than the phallotremal sclerite, whereas longer in Chimarra cebegepi sp. nov. (Fig. 3 D–E) and Chimarra saha sp. nov. (Fig. 13 D–E).
Etymology
From the Malagasy ‘lehibe’ (= big) and ‘mavo’ (= yellow), referring to the colour and large size of the species.

Turcinoemacheilus

description: Turcinoemacheilus Bănărescu et Nalbant, 1964
Type species: Turcinoemacheilus kosswigi Bănărescu et Nalbant, 1964
Emended diagnosis: This genus can be distinguished from all the other nemacheilid genera in the following combination of characters: preethmoidei-I absent; four cylindrical pectoral-bony radials; bony air-bladder capsule with wide sheet-like bony fringe, no free posterior chamber in abdominal cavity; anus positioned mid-way between pelvic-fin insertion and anal-fin origin; mature males with cheeks thickened and with epidermal tubercles homogeneously distributed on snout.
Remarks: This peculiar genus having a very disjunct distribution (Conway et al. 2011) can be easily separated from all the other nemacheilids in the region in its anterior position of the anus. Relationship of the genus is unclear (Bănărescu & Nalbant, 1995; Prokofiev, 2009); however, we found sexual dimorphism of the Oxynoemacheilus - type in the specimens described below, which may indicate that these genera are phylogenetically close. Resolution of this problem will be presented in a forthcoming paper.

Musca

description: Musca Linnaeus, 1758
Musca Linnaeus, 1758: 589. Type species: Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758.
Diagnosis. Colouration pale black with dense silver pruinosity; wing without maculae. Female without proclinate fronto-orbital seta; parafrons setulose on its entire length; interfrontal seta absent. Posthumeral usually present; postsutural intra-alars usually 1; intrapostalar present. Prosternum setulose. Proepisternum bare (but setulose in M. domestica). Katepisternals usually 1+2. Anepimeron with the uppermost setulae strongly developed (bristle-like). Suprasquamal ridge setulose or bare. Wing with the basal portion of stem-vein setulose dorsally or bare; M bent forward towards R4+5. Lower calypter enlarged posteriorly, extending under base of scutellum. Subcostal sclerite bare. Calcar absent. First abdominal sternite bare or setulose only on lateral margins.
Comments. Large in number of species, this genus has proven to be monophyletic (Nihei & de Carvalho 2007a), although the subgeneric classification has not been supported. Musca includes the best known species of Muscidae, although this popularity is mainly due to their damaging ‘skills’, as Musca domestica Linnaeus, Musca autumnalis De Geer and Musca vetustissima Walker (Pont 1973). On the other hand, several species also have been reported as anthophilous or pollinators (e.g., Pont 1993, Proctor et al. 1996). This is the only genus of Muscini occurring west of the Andes (record for M. domestica, spread by man).
Distribution (67 species). Afrotropical, Andean, Australasian, Nearctic, Neotropical, Oriental and Palaearctic.
