Disparomitus schoutedeni

description: Disparomitus schoutedeni Navás, 1925 nomen dubium
(Fig. 53, 90)
Disparomitus schoutedeni Navás, 1925: 126
Diagnosis. Wing length: ♀ forewing 40, hind wing 35. Species known only from the holotype ♀ (Fig 53). It is characterized by the large longitudinal black stripe on the mesoscutellum and the lack of yellow dots on the mesoprescutum (Fig. 90).
In the original description Navás mentions that the first abdominal tergite is saddle-shaped and adds « Je trouve partriculière dans cette espèce la forme du tergite abdominal I, chez la ♀, semblable à celui du ♂ ». Owing to the poor state of preservation of the specimen it is not possible to confirm the shape of the first abdominal tergite. More material is needed to be able to redescribe the species more acurately and to confirm its placement in the genus Disparomitus.
Material examined (1 ♀). Lectotype ♀ (designated here), DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, Lundu, -5.2666667/12.816667, alt. 130 m, 19.x.1920, Dr. H. Schouteden leg., Disparomitus lunduensis (nomen nudum) det. Tjeder, 1977 (00726, R. DÉT. K 1102 MRAC) (Fig. 53).
Note. The original description does not specify the number of type specimens, but the sentence in French above suggests that at least one male specimen was examined. The specimen I examined is designated as lectotype in application of the recommendation 73F of the ICZN, 1999.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality (Fig. 139).

Nanomitus sellatus Navás, 1912: 94, plate III fig. 3*
* In plate III provided with the orignal description, the legends to figures 1 and 3 have been reversed. Figure 1 is Tytomyia bequaerti (Navás, 1912) and figure 3 is N. sellatus.
Diagnosis. Wing length (mm): ♂ forewing 25, hind wing 20. Relatively small brown species. Characterized by the coloration of the dorsal surface of thorax (Fig. 91). Promesoscutum without yellow dots. Mesoscutellum with two large light brown markings separated by a narrow dark brown longitudinal line. Lateral surface of thorax brown. Legs brown. Tibiae with three light brown markings (Fig. 55). Lateral surface of abdominal tergites III and IV with lower spines white and upper spines black (Figs 56, 57). Abdominal sternite III with the longitudinal black stripe strongly narrowed anteriorly and divided longitudinaly by a white pruinose line (Fig. 58). Shape and colour of the gonarcus-parameres complex characteristic (Figs 120–122).
Material examined (1 ♂). Holotype ♂ of Nanomitus sellatus Navás, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO [Congo belge], Lukonzolwa, - 8.727249/28.68251, alt. 1009 m, 28.viii. 1911, Dr. Bequaert leg. (MRAC) (Fig. 54).
Note. The original description does not specify the number of type specimens, but does not indicate that more than one existed. Only one type specimen was found in MRAC, which is thus assumed to be the holotype.
Distribution. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. Apart from the type locality, Navás (1925) cites three other localities: Bumbuli, -3.396446/20.522141, alt. 363 m, i-iv.1915, R.

Disparomitus yemenicus

description: Disparomitus yemenicus Hölzel, 2004
(Figs 78–83)
Disparomitus yemenicus Hölzel, 2004: 220, figs 13, 14, 45, 46.
Diagnosis. Disparomitus yemenicus is morphologically identical to D. transvaliensis, including the shape of gonarcus-parameres complex (Figs 81, 82). Surprisingly, Hölzel (2004) indicates that D. yemenicus is close to D. simplex Kimmins, 1950 and that the latter species is distinguished by the brown colour of the subcostal field.
Remark. I retain D. yemenicus as a valid species only because of the geographical discontinuity that separates the populations of the African continent from that of the Arabian peninsula and I consider D. yemenicus and D. transvaliensis as vicariant species. However, it would be interesting to verify, by molecular analysis, if the thirty kilometres separating the two species at Bab el Mandeb strait is sufficient to distinguish them genetically.

Alidus multilineatus Pic, 1925: 24.
Type material examined. India. Holotype, male (Figure 3a–d): ‘Type [p, label circular, red framed]; India [h, label oval, dark green]; Pascoe / Coll. / 93–60 [p]; Mispila / curvilinea / Typ. Pasc. [h]; Mispila / curvilinea [h]; NHMUK 014596491’.
Non-type material examined. India: 1 male: ‘ Mungphu. [Sikkim, India]; Atkinson Coll. / 92–3.’; Laos: 1 male: ‘ B. Van Heua [Ban Van Heua] / 30.4–65 [h]; J. A. Rondon Collection / BISHOP MUS.’; 1 female: ‘unreadable / 4–7–63 [h]/ Vientiane; Laos: / J. A. Rondon. / B. M. 1966–602. [p, with yellow line] ’; 1 male: ‘ Phon Tiou / 4–5–63 [h]; Laos: / J. A.

[p, with yellow line]’ and dates (with number of specimens in parentheses) 1.5.62 (x3), 15.5.62 (x5), 1.4.63 (x11), 10.4.63 (x2), 20.4.63 (x6), 4.5.63 (x5), 16.5.63 (x1), 27.5.63 (x1), 20.10.63 (x2).
Comments. A total of 43 specimens, 17 males (including the holotype) and 26 females were examined. The markings on the pronotum and elytra of the specimens from India (the holotype and a non-type from Mungphu, Sikkim) are distinctly paler and lighter than those observed on the non-type specimens from Laos. The specimens from Laos are also more brightly coloured, pinkish brown rather than greyish in the Indian specimens. This variation may have led Pic (1925) to describe Alidus multilineatus from Laos, which is presently treated as a junior synonym of Mispila curvilinea. Reexamination of Pic’s type material would be needed to verify this synonymy.
‘Ban Van Heua’ is a locality in Vientiane Province, Laos. ‘Houei Sai’ (alternatively Houayxay, Huoeisay or Huay Xai) is a district in Bokeo Province, Laos near the border with Thailand. ‘Phon Tiou’ is a locality in Khammouane Province, Laos.

Non-type material examined. India (Andamans): 1 male: ‘Andaman / Islands [h]; Capt. / Wimberley [h]; 45514 [h]; Fry Coll. / 1905. 100.

Comments. Pascoe (1878) described this species and considered it to be distinguished from both M. venosa and M. curvilinea by the white curve at the base of the elytra. Breuning (1961a) took it as a morph of M. venosa, subsequently he (1963b) regarded it as a colour variant of M. venosa. Yan et al. (2023) followed Breuning’s decision. However, the white linear markings on the basal half of the elytra is less developed than in M. venosa in appearance, the first transverse curve is more irregular, incomplete, broken at the suture, and the short central longitudinal line of each elytron is shorter and does not meet backwards at the end of the second transverse line or is absent; and it is also isolated from M. venosa in distribution, occurring only in the Andaman Islands (India), while M. venosa occurs in Sarawak of Malaysia, Batchian, Java and Celebes of Indonesia. In view of this, herein we propose M. auguralis as a geographic subspecies of M. venosa, i.e., Mispila (s. str.) venosa auguralis Pascoe, 1878 stat. rev..

Comments. Yan et al. (2023) reinstated the species-level status of M. tenuevittata and treated M. sonthianae Breuning, 1963 as its synonym. Two specimens (1 male and 1 female, Figure 9a–f) were identified as M. sonthianae in the NHM main collection, and all 11 specimens in Gilmour’s collection were identified as M. sonthianae.
‘Houei Sai’ (alternatively Houayxay, Huoeisay or Huay Xai) is a district in Bokeo Province, Laos near the border with Thailand.

Mispila (Mispila) parallela: Breuning, 1961a: 281; Breuning, 1963b: 483.
Type material examined. Malaysia: Holotype (maybe male): ‘Type [p, label circular, red framed]; SARAWAK: / Mt. Dulit. / Moss forest / 25. X. 1932.

[h] / det. Breuning [p]; ‘TYPE’ / Mispila / parallela Breun. [h] / det. R. G. Booth, 1989 [p]; NHMUK 014596473’.
Comments. This specimen was mislabelled with a type label of Mispila elongata handwritten by Breuning. R. G. Booth, in 1989, recognised that this specimen was in fact the type specimen of M. parallela and marked it with a handwritten label (Figure 10j). Although we were unable to directly observe the terminal ventrite, this holotype may be a male based on the antennae and the lateral view of the abdomen.

Non-type material examined. India: 1 male: ‘India / Orient [h]; Ex Mus / Parry [h]; 43297 [h]; NHMUK014596464 ’.
Comments. This species is very similar to M. tenuevittata (Pic, 1930) (Figure 8e–j, identified as M. sonthianae in the NHM collection). Comparison of the type specimens will probably reveal that M. assamensis Breuning, 1938 is a junior synonym of M. tenuevittata (Pic, 1930).

Comments. ‘Phon Tiou’ is a locality in Khammouane Province, Laos. Pakkading is a district in Bolikhamsai province, Central Laos.
The non-type female received from the Bishop museum has the exact same collecting data as the two paratypes from the Gilmour Collection (Phon Tiou, 1.5.62), but it has no type indication, and possibly Breuning was unaware of it when he wrote the description. Breuning (1963c) states ‘Fin Mai’ [end of May], but the specimens marked as paratypes from the Gilmour collection are dated 1 st May. Possibly Breuning was referring only to the date of the holotype, but examination of the type series in the Bishop Museum is needed to clarify their status.

Comments. Four syntypes (2 males, 2 females) were confirmed from Pascoe’s collection based on the locality. Herein we designated one male specimen, which has been labelled with a handwritten identification label marked with ‘ Type’, as the lectotype and the remaining specimens become paralectotypes. One specimen labelled ‘Dor.’ by Wallace is from Dorey (now Manokwari), New Guinea, and although labelled in the past as a paralectotype, it is here excluded from the type series, as this locality is not mentioned in the description.

(Figs. 13–15)
Diagnosis. Belonging in species group patzunensis (García Aldrete 1986). Projections of the distal piece of hypandrium longer and broader than in L. andina. Sclerotized projected area at the bottom of the concavity of the distal piece of hypandrium more robust and with side arms broader and longer than in L. andina.
Male. Color. Body brown. Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents. Antennae and maxillary palps dark brown, legs brown, wings opaque, fumose. Abdomen creamy white, with ochre subcuticular rings.
Morphology. Forewing pterostigma wider posteriorly, Rs-M diverging from a point, areola postica rounded apically (Fig. 13). Hindwing Rs-M fused for a distance (Fig. 13). Hypandrium of two pieces (Fig. 14), the distal one deeply concave posteriorly, almost straight anteriorly, each half with a broad based projection, blunt ended, inner edge straight and outer edge curved; a robust sclerotized projection at the bottom of the concavity, with two side arms and a short stem (Fig. 14). Paraprocts (Fig. 15) broad, setose, with a mesal, strongly sclerotized truncate prong, sensory fields with 11–12 trichobothria on basal rosettes, and a marginal one without basal rosette. Epiproct (Fig. 15) broad, deeply bilobed posteriorly, almost straight anteriorly, each lobe rounded, with a field of setae on distal half.
Measurements. FW: 1911, HW: 1479, F: 380, T: 720, t1: 221, t2: 100, ctt1: 16, Mx4: 98, f1: 199, f2: 175, f3: 153, f4: 132, IO: 318, D: 143, d: 95, IO/D: 2.22, PO: 0.66.
Material studied. ARGENTINA, Buenos Aires, El Tigre, Río Sarmiento, Tres Bocas, 1 male, 26.VIII.2008, beating shrubs and trees, A. N. García Aldrete (CNIN).
Remarks. The male described above was collected at the same locality as that where the female of L. corbalanae García Aldrete had been collected almost five years earlier (García Aldrete 2004). It is considered conspecific on the grounds of belonging in the same species group, and on presenting the same body color and wing venation as the female holotype. This species holds a sister group relationship with L. andina n. sp., described above, on the basis of the similarities in the genitalia of both species (see Figs. 7–15 in this paper, and Figs. 6–10 in García Aldrete 2004). Male-female associations in the quite large genus Lachesilla must be established, first, on males and females belonging in the same species group, and second, on basis of shared characters such as head and wing pattern (if any), and wing venation, particularly shape of the pterostigma and areola postica in the forewing, nature of the junction of veins Rs and M in both wings, and presence of crossveins in both wings.

(Figs. 16–18)
Diagnosis. Belonging in species group pedicularia. Distal ends of claspers free. Phallosome apodeme widening posteriorly, T-shaped. Paraprocts of two pieces, proximal one strongly sclerotized, articulated to clunium, distal one with strong, mesal prong. Epiproct broad, with long, stout posterior projection divided in two long arms, the right one divided distally into an outer, acuminate arm, and an inner, spoon-like process; the left arm long, distally acuminate, with a slender, acuminate projection on the outer edge of the proximal half (Fig. 17).
Morphology. As in diagnosis, plus the following: forewing pterostigma almost rectangular, wider posteriorly. Rs-M veins diverging from a point, areola postica rounded apically (Fig. 16). Hindwing Rs-M fused for a distance (Fig. 16). Hypandrium almost triangular, setose (Fig. 18). Claspers (Fig. 18) elliptic, setose, with a sclerotized band along inner edge, distal ends straight, slender. Phallosome apodeme long, slender, widening distally, with side arms slender, each associated with a round, rugose body (Fig. 18). Clunium projected over the area of the epiproct; this, wide, narrow, with setae as illustrated (Fig. 17). Proximal piece of paraproct bearing an elliptic sensory field with 11–12 trichobothria on basal rosettes and a marginal one without basal rosette, distal piece, with setae as illustrated (Fig. 17).
Measurements. FW: 2203, HW: 1675, F: 439, T: 852, t1: 302, t2: 89, ctt1: 20, IO: 332, D: 185, d: 121, IO/D: 1.79, PO: 0.65.
