description: Pentanodes tropipennis (Chemsak, 1977), comb. nov.
(Figs. 41–51)
Tetranodus tropipennis Chemsak, 1977: 124; Chemsak et al., 1992: 74 (cat.); Monné, 1993: 73 (cat.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 121 (checklist); Monné, 2005: 554 (cat.); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 133 (checklist); Swift et al., 2010: 30 (distr.); Martins & Galileo, 2013: 579 (distr.); Monné, 2019: 827 (cat.); Bezark, 2019b: 177 (checklist).
According to Chemsak (1977): “eyes large, pointed behind.” However, examination of the photographs of the holotype male shows that the upper eye lobes are absent. Accordingly, the species is transferred to Pentanodes. It is important to note that “pointed behind” is the description used by Chemsak to indicate the eye shape in the species of Tetranodus, in which the upper eye lobes are present and very distinct.
Chemsak (1977) also affirmed that “The acutely angulate basal gibbosities of the elytra will separate this species from the others.” This information was also used in the key to separate Tetranodus xanthocollis from T. tropipennis. However, comparison between photographs of both holotypes, as well as other specimens, shows that the basal elytral gibbosity is identical or nearly so in both species. However, the shape of the antennomere III in male is different: nearly pedunculate-clavate in T. tropipennis, and gradually widened from base to apex in T. xanthocollis.
The female examined by us (Figs. 45–48) has the pronotum with abundant white pubescence on almost entire posterior half, and on a wide transverse band on anterior third. Furthermore, the sides of the prothorax also have distinct white pubescence on wide central area, connecting the two pubescent areas of the pronotum. We believe that this pubescence is just a specific variation. The last maxillary and labial palpomeres are slightly securiform (not strongly widened from base to apex). The antennomeres III–VI, as also in Tetranodus, are filiform. In the holotype and the couple examined by us, the antennomeres VII–VIII are mostly yellowish-brown, with only the apical area darkened (darker on the holotype and male examined).
Material examined. COSTA RICA, San José: San Isidro de El General, 1 male, II.1993, F.D. Parker col. (MZSP). Limón: 7 miles N Guácimo, 1 female, 22. II– 03. III.1988, F.D. Parker col. (MZSP).

Material studied. Neotype (Figs. 2–3): Male. Costa Rica: Alajuela, Area de Conservación Guanacaste, Sector San Cristobal, Sendero Vivero, 10.86739, -85.38744, elev. 730 m., Larva on Malvaviscus palmanus 03/15/2006, ecl. 04/01/2006, Gloria Sihezar, collector, 06-SRNP-2089. COI Barcoded. [USNMENT01899038]. Forewing length: 10 mm. Deposited in the NMNH, SI, Washington, D.C.
Additional specimens examined. Fifty-one additional confirmed specimens at the NMNH from various localities in Costa Rica: 22 males (24 COI barcoded, 1 failed barcode) and 24 females (all but 3 COI barcoded) (Janzen & Hallwachs 2009). In BOLD these specimens were previously identified as DHJ01 (Ratnasingham & Herbert 2007) and congeneric to other species yet to be described. The Barcode Identification Number (BIN) is BOLD: AAA8233 (https://doi.org/10.5883/ BOLD: AAA8233).
Diagnosis.Average forewing length: 10.34 mm (n=22) (range 9–11 mm), males= 10.5 mm (n=12),females= 10.18 mm (n=10). In the male genitalia, the uncus apex with a membranous distal medial cleft in S. incomptalis (Fig. 4) but rounded without a distal medial cleft in S. nitidalis (Fig. 12); distal half in S. incomptalis is equal width, but almost paddle-shaped distally, that is broader distally. Although both S. incomptalis and S. nitidalis share a slightly protruding finger-like fibula, the saccular medial lobe ventral to the fibula varies. In S. nitidalis, the saccular medial lobe is elongate and flat, but small and round in S. incomptalis. The saccus in S. incomptalis is square-shaped anteriorly, but rounded and shorter than wide in S. nitidalis.
Description. See redescription of Syllepte below.
Larval host plants. Forty-six specimens at the NMNH have been reared in Costa Rica on two genera and four species of Malvaceae: Malvaviscus arboreus Cav., that occurs in southeastern U.S. south to South America; M. palmanus Pittier & Donn. Sm., that is endemic to Costa Rica; Pavonia schiedeana Steud., that occurs from Mexico south to South America; and P. peruviana Gürke, that occurs from Nicaragua south to South America (Janzen & Hallwachs 2009).
Remarks. This species was selected from the nitidalis species complex for compliance with ICZN rules, it is also composed of many specimens that can be deposited widely, many which have been COI barcoded, and many of the specimens were reared and are associated with host plant information (see above).

Duolandrevus (Bejorama) nr. luzonensis – Tan & Wahab, 2017: 442 [tentative identification prior to species described by Gorochov (2017)]
Material examined. EAST MALAYSIA • 2♂; Sabah State, Sandakan, Sepilok, Rainforest Discovery Centre; N5.87511, E117.94206, 41.5± 7.7 m.a.s.l.; 17 May 2022, 19h22; calling underneath the bark of a large tree; coll. M.K. Tan & T. Robillard; SBH.22.121, 122 (FRC)
Remarks. This species was previously known from Lambir Hill in Sarawak and Kuala Belalong in Brunei Darussalam, both to the west of Borneo. Our specimens (Fig. 1) appear to resemble the descriptions from Lambir Hill by Gorochov (2017) and the figures in Tan & Wahab (2017). It should be noted that the pseudepiphallic lophi [posterolateral epiphallic lobes] appear narrower in lateral view in the Bruneian specimen (Tan & Wahab, 2017: Fig. 2C). Here, we add a new locality record for this species in the east of Borneo and describe its calling song for the first time.
Ecology. This species seems to be relatively common. Multiples males were heard singing at night underneath barks of large trees.
Distribution. Borneo, Sarawak State (Lambir Hill) and Sabah State (Sepilok), Brunei Darussalam (Kuala Belalong).
Type locality. EAST MALAYSIA, Sarawak State, Lambir Hill
Calling song (2 ♂, in the field, 26.5°C) (Fig. 2). The calling song consists of an echeme made up of 40–47 syllables. The first few syllables are of lower amplitude but the amplitude of subsequent syllables increases to a maximum and remains consistent. Each echeme has an average duration of 0.66±0.03 s (0.61–0.71 s). The interval between consecutive echemes is 0.87±0.14 s (0.70–1.15 s). Each syllable has an average duration of 11.6±0.7 ms (10.9–12.9 ms) and the interval between consecutive syllables is 3.5±0.8 ms (2.1–4.3 ms). The dominant frequency is 5.89±0.06 kHz (5.72–5.91 kHz).

description: SSH CENTRE (Social Sciences and Humanities for Climate, Energy aNd Transport Research Excellence) is a Horizon Europe project, engaging directly with stakeholders across research, policy, and business (including citizens) to strengthen social innovation, SSH-STEM collaboration, transdisciplinary policy advice, inclusive engagement, and SSH communities across Europe, accelerating the EU’s transition to carbon neutrality.

SSH CENTRE is based in a range of activities related to Open Science, inclusivity and diversity – especially with regards Southern and Eastern Europe and different career stages – including: development of novel SSH-STEM collaborations to facilitate the delivery of the EU Green Deal; SSH knowledge brokerage to support regions in transition; and the effective design of strategies for citizen engagement in EU R&I activities. Outputs include action-led agendas and building stakeholder synergies through regular Policy Insight events.

 

This is captured in a high-profile virtual SSH CENTRE generating and sharing best practice for SSH policy advice, overcoming fragmentation to accelerate the EU’s journey to a sustainable future.

 

Within the SSH CENTRE project, Work Package 4 aims at incorporating SSH within settings such as the SET Plan, HEU Missions, and HEU Partnerships. This effort aims to inform and influence future EU R&I priorities to accommodate a wide spectrum of socio-economic challenges faced in transitions with a particular focus on climate, energy, and mobility. 

 

This report presents recommendations for the four HEU Missions of most relevance to the SSH CENTRE project, namely: 1) 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030, 2) Adaptation to climate change, 3) Restore our ocean and waters, and 4) A soil deal for Europe. The recommendations were developed using insights from 42 focus groups with European citizens conducted by Debating Europe, and 4 policy panels whereby expert panel speakers were brought into dialogue with citizens that had attended the focus groups.

Palmaraltica heteronycha Bechyné 1959:347 (Bolivia, Yungas del Palmar, holotype female).
Measurements. LB = 8.98 mm; WB = 5.80 mm (N=1)
Distribution. Bolivia.
Type examined. Holotype female: Bolivia, Yungas del Palmar 2000m, Zischka Ew. Reitter, Type Palmaraltica heteronycha ns. J. Bechyne det., 1956 (NMB).
Literature records. BOLIVIA: Yungas del Palmar, 2000m (R. Zischka, Mus. G. Frey) (Bechyné 1959).
Description of genitalia. Spermatheca (Figure 4E) coil-shaped, 4–5 times as long as wide. Spermathecal pump rounded, about one-fifth as long as receptacle. Division between receptacle and pump faint.Apex of pump flattened, blunt, short. Receptacle widest at base. Canal attached at base of receptacle. Vaginal palpi (Figure 4F) conical, slightly rounded; apex with some setae. Male genitalia not available for study.
Diagnosis. Palmaraltica heteronycha can be separated from P. yepezi by general coloration and habitus (Figure 4), together with having simple front tarsal claws. Only the female of this species is currently known. Palmaraltica heteronycha differs from P. tomentosa by the broader shoulders, more rounded pronotal edges and dark coloration of the apex and basal third of the elytra. The female genitalia of both species seem to be different as well, with strongly arched vaginal palpi and a downward facing spermathecal pump in P. tomentosa (Figure 5D&E).

Leg formula: I, IV, II, III; measurements of palp and legs: palp: 1.18 (0.39, 0.19, 0.18, 0.42); I: 4.84 (1.40, 0.38, 1.30, 1.20, 0.56); II: 3.96 (1.14, 0.34, 1.05, 0.92, 0.51); III: 2.94 (0.84, 0.29, 0.68, 0.63, 0.50); IV: 4.41 (1.30, 0.35, 1.23, 0.97, 0.56).
Cephalothorax yellowish-brown with black pattern between fovea and eyes and lateral blackish pattern. Abdomen light yellow with paired dark spots, posterior pairs fused, laterally dark in anterior half. White spot in front of anal tubercle. Legs white, Fe with one and Ti with two black bands (Fig. 28).
Palp as in diagnosis. Embolus strongly developed and thickened. Paracymbium bifurcate. Dorsal process in ventral view pliers-shaped.

Diagnosis. Body small, length 2.00– 2.60 mm. Antenna 10-segmented (Fig. 3). Prosternum with distinct intercoxal carinae, almost reaching the anterior margin (Fig. 7). Humeral calli distinct. Abdominal postcoxal line incomplete, never reaching lateral margin of ventrite (Fig. 6). Penis slender with developed capsule (Fig. 19). Parameres of the tegmen usually with two groups of long setae (Fig. 21).
Description. Body elongate oval, moderately convex, with pubescence, widest at the middle of elytra (Figs. 10–17).
Head relatively small; frons broad, weakly convex, finely punctuate, about one-half as wide as head; innerocular margin slightly arcuated. Clypeus slightly incurvate anteriorly. Antennae 10-segmented (Fig. 3), 1st antennomere stout, curved and slightly rounded on outer side; 2nd a little narrower than and two times as long as 1st, 3rd obviously longer than 4th. Antennal club compact, 3-segmented. Labrum transverse with lateral margin almost rounded. Mandible bifid apically with a molar tooth at the base (Fig. 4). Terminal maxillary palpomere stout with lateral margins almost parallel, apical strongly obliquely truncate (Fig. 1). Labial palps 3-segmented, terminal palpomere blunt (Fig. 2).
Pronotum moderately convex, lateral margins curved, at middle of length twice as wide as long. Pronotal hypomeron broad without delimited foveae. Prosternal process moderately wide, quadrate, with nearly parallel carinae, joining anterior margin (Fig. 7). Scutellum small, triangular. Elytra distinctly wider at base than pronotum. Humeral calli rather prominent. Disc finely punctured. Elytral epipleuron narrow and terminated at level of hind coxae. Abdomen with six ventrites. Abdominal postcoxal lines incomplete (Fig. 6), slightly recurved toward the base of ventrite. Leg slender and long, not expanding beyond the external boundary of the body (Fig. 5). Tarsi 4- segmented, claws slender, bifid, the inner tooth shorter and more curved than the outer one.
Remarks. There is little known about the biology of this subgenus. Yu et al. (2000) investigated the natural enemies of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae Annand) and found a species, Scymnus (Parapullus) tsugae Yu and Yao, which was collected from the Chinese hemlock (Tsuga spp.). However, it didn’t record this species as predator of the hemlock woolly adelgid.

Externally, they share prominent orbicular and claviform spots in the discal area, and a claviform spot in the anal area. In the male genitalia, they share an uncus with dorsal, long, non-deciduous setae, but the apex is variable in shape, either pointed, round, square-like, with and without a medial cleft, and also a medially flat transtilla with a suture medially separated or not, of various widths, with posterior arms to the costa of valva and medioposteriorly with membranous or sclerotized anterior arms, and a prominent, elongate saccus (anterior to the valvae of various shapes). The latter character (elongate saccus) was listed as a synapomorphy for the tribe Agroterini (Mally et al. 2019), along with the “uncus head chaetae (=setae) simple, not split.” Although these three genera do not have a separate uncus head as in other members of the tribe, the setae associated with the uncus are not split.

Asioplax dolani

description: Asioplax dolani (Allen)
Asioplax dolani was originally described in Leptohyphes by Allen (1967) based upon a small series of larvae from the Savannah River at the South Carolina­Georgia border. It was later reported from Texas (Allen and Roback, 1969) and Florida (Lager, 1985). Allen and Roback (1969) based these records upon specimens collected in 1962 by S.S. Roback from the Guadalupe River near Victoria, Texas, then a second time by Allen (1978) from specimens collected in 1950 and 1952 by T. Dolan IV from near the same locality. No other records of this species in Texas have been reported until now. New records given below document A. dolani from the Austroriparian ecological region of East Texas, where larvae occupied crevices on snags in moderate­sized, sandy­bottomed streams with dense riparian vegetation. Lager (1985) reported a similar microhabitat for this species in a Florida stream.
Study of the published holotype and paratypes of this species showed them to be undissected and in good condition, with clear indications of which specimen was designated the holotype, and which the paratypes. In addition to the type series listed in the literature, a third vial from ANSP contained three larvae of A. dolani, three associated slides, and a label indicating that they were paratypes. Because these specimens were collected many years before the species description, have the same style of labels as the published type series, and have associated slides from which the original figures appeared to have been drawn, it appears that Allen intended to publish them as part of the type series but inadvertently did not include them in the original publication. As such, they should be considered valid paratypes.

Allenhyphes flinti

description: Allenhyphes flinti (Allen)
Allenhyphes flinti was described in Leptohyphes by Allen (1973), based upon larvae from the island of Dominica in the West Indies. Hofmann et al. (1999) later reared this species, associated the adult, and listed new distributions records of the species from the island of Guadeloupe.
Molineri and Flowers (2001) recently discovered this species in Panama and Venezuela. Their report was the first known instance of a leptohyphid mayfly from both Continental America and the Caribbean Islands. Records given below extend the known range of this species in the Caribbean region to include the islands of Montserrat and St. Kitts.
On the island of Montserrat, A. flinti was collected from a very small stream on a steep slope at about 100 m elevation. Stream channel substrates included rocks and sand with some leaf debris. In Dominica A. flinti was collected from very small to medium­sized forested streams between 130 and 330 m elevation. Substrate in these streams included boulders, rocks, cobble, and sand with rooted aquatic vegetation along the shorelines and some leaf debris.
On the island of St. Kitts A. flinti was collected from a small permanently flowing stream in undisturbed forest with a bed composed mostly of rocks and sand, with some leaf debris. Regardless of site, larvae of A. flinti were collected from submerged leaf debris.

Remarks. This small genus consists of two species, both from Mount Kinabalu in Borneo: B. kinabalu Gorochov, 2007 and B. variegata Gorochov, 2007. The genus is characterised by the TI with only a small inner tympanum; the apical segment of the maxillary palpi particularly widened; the lateral field of the FW with parallel longitudinal veins; the hindwings shorter than FWs; and the male anal plate short and with a pair of characteristic small transverse lobes at the upper (proximal) half. Below, a species from the eastern part of Sabah is described, first for the genus, but it also exhibits some deviations from the above-mentioned generic characters.

Leptohyphes zalope

description: Leptohyphes zalope Traver
Leptohyphes zalope is a common and wide­spread species, known from Arizona east to Texas and south to Costa Rica (Baumgardner and McCafferty, 2000). Records given below from Grenada and Tobago extend the known range of this species into the Caribbean Islands, and make this only the second known species of leptohyphid known from both the Caribbean Islands and Continental America.
Leptohyphes zalope was collected from two different sites on the island of Grenada. The first (Grand Bras River) is a small river flowing mostly through a forest, and substrate composed primarily of large rocks and boulders, cobble and sand with abundant leaf debris. The second river (St. Mark’s River) flows through mostly forest in the upper part of its drainage, and agricultural land at lower elevations. For most of its length, substrate consists primarily of large rocks and sand with little leaf debris. In both cases, larvae were collected from submerged leaf debris. On the island of Tobago, L. zalope was collected in submerged leaf debris from a small stream flowing through forest, with substrate consisting primarily of rocks, cobble, and sand with much leaf debris present.

(adults Pl. 2, Figs 6 a–6c; male gen. Pl. 4, Figs 6 d, 6e)
For material examined, description, distribution, and biology see below under subspecies.
Diagnosis. Gnophopsodos ravistriolaria can resemble G. tholeraria in wing-pattern and type of coloration but the yellowish basic color of G. ravistriolaria is more distinctive. Internally, the species is characterized by its unique, slender u-shaped incised juxta and the smooth-margined pincer-like appendix aedeagi.

description: Genus Rhynchasphaera Bechyné, 1955
Rhynchasphaera Bechyné 1955b:198 (type species: Rhynchasphaera orophila Bechyné, 1955, by original designation).
Number of species. Three.
Distribution. Bolivia, Peru.
Remarks. Rhynchasphaera closely resembles some members of Asphaera and Aspicela Dejean, 1836. Bechyné (1955b) stated the following differentiating characters: clypeus vaulted upwards, forming a tubercle, on which the antennae are implanted; epipleura vertical, not visible from lateral view, deeply grooved. We propose the following additional characters: anterolateral callosity of pronotum long, directing anteriorly; lateral margins of pronotum and elytra widely explanate. These characters seem to be common to genera closely related to Asphaera (see also Konstantinov et al. 2022).
