description: Family Nothybidae Frey, 1927
Nothybidae Frey, 1927: 66.
Type genus: Nothybus Rondani, 1875.
Diagnosis. Slender, long-legged flies 5.5–15.0 mm in length, usually yellowish orange to brown with abdomen partially dark brown to blackish brown. Head suborbicular with three velvety black patches (rarely fused); two fronto-orbital setae, one inner vertical seta and one outer vertical seta; vibrissa, ocellar and postocellar setae absent; pedicel with dorsal seam; first flagellomere angled, twice as long as wide. Thorax strongly produced anteriorly, anterior margin widely separated from fore coxa; subscutellum inflated and subconical, reaching or surpassing the apex of scutellum; thorax usually with brownish mottling and stripes; one anepisternal seta, one notopleural seta, one supra-alar seta, one postalar seta, one dorsocentral seta, one lateral scutellar seta and one apical scutellar seta; postpronotal, anterior notopleural and katepisternal setae absent. Precoxal bridge present and fused to prosternum; postmetacoxal bridge absent. Wing with alula and anal lobe nearly absent; C unbroken; Sc complete; cells cua and bm very short, but the latter open; cell br open; radial and medial veins divergent. Abdominal sternite 5 in male simple with ventral outline straight; tergite and sternite 7 separate in female, not forming oviscape.
Remarks. For detailed redescription of the family, see Lonsdale & Marshall (2016). Nothybid flies resemble Micropezidae at the first glance, but can be distinguished from the latter by the following features: katepisternal setae absent (vs. present in Micropezidae); fore coxa widely separated from anterior margin of thorax (vs. close to anterior thoracic margin in Micropezidae); subscutellum inflated, at least reaching apex of scutellum (vs. not enlarged in most Micropezidae although a similar state occurs in a few Eurybatinae); precoxal bridge present (vs. absent in Micropezidae); R 4+5 and M 1 divergent (vs. convergent in Micropezidae).

Simulium tani

description: Simulium tani Takaoka and Davies, 1995 (complex)
The members of the S. tani complex can be distinguished from other species of the S. tuberosum group by the roundish margins of the postgenal cleft (Fig. 3 F, G) and ventral tubercles of the larva, short terminal spines (Fig. 8) of the pupa, absence of a pair of clustered hairs on sternite VII in the female, and a narrow median sclerite in the male (Fig. 9 D). Structural variation within each of the nine cytoforms is typically as great as it is among cytoforms (Table 1), with one exception. The pupa of cytoform H has a lower density of cephalic microtubercles (Fig 5 B) and a longer ventralmost gill stalk (Fig. 7 F) than do other cytoforms in the complex. Variation in meristic characters among cytoforms, such as the number of primary rays in the labral fan, probably is related to habitat (Zhang & Malmqvist 1997). Some of the cytoforms of the S. tani complex might prove to be valid species. Cytoform B or D, because of geographical location, probably represents true S. tani, which was described from Malaya.

Davmata Dworakowska, 1979: 44
Type-species: Davmata neka Dworakowska, 1979, original designation
Diagnosis. Body form resembles Tautoneura Anufriev: tiny, length 1.8mm to 2.1mm, pale to yellow-whitish. Vertex produced medially, head almost as wide as pronotum, coronal suture present. Face slightly convex in profile, anteclypeus broad. Pronotum in mid-length shorter than twice length of vertex. Fore wing with spots and patches, 3rd apical cell broad, 4th apical cell shorter than half length of 3rd; AA vein absent. Hind wing venation as usual in Erythroneurini, subcostal vein absent.
Abdominal apodemes narrow and long.
Anal tube without appendages. Genital capsule weakly sclerotized. Pygofer side rounded, with several macrosetae at lower basal angle and numerous gracile microsetae on ventral half of lobe; pygofer dorsal appendages well sclerotized, articulated to pygofer side. Subgenital plate slightly exceeding pygofer side, broadened subbasally, apical part narrowed and curved outwards; with row of several submarginal macrosetae and row of thickened marginal microsetae on middle part, some rigid microsetae and some small, stout microsetae at apex. Style varying between new species and type species, preapical lobe distinct, with sensory pits or papillae. Connective with central lobe. Aedeagal shaft asymmetrical, situated on a short manubrium; gonopore subapical and ventral.
Note. Discovery of the new species described below, in which the male style is significantly different from that of the type species, suggests that interspecific variation in the style in Davmata parallels that of the related genus Tautoneura.

Anurogryllus

description: Anurogryllus Saussure, 1877
Comments. This genus is distributed from the United States to Argentina, including the Greater and Lesser Antilles. Contains 37 species in four recently established subgenera (Cigliano et al., 2021). They are known by the common name of “Short-tailed cricket” because at least in the subgenus Anurogryllus, the ovipositor of females is very short and slightly exceeds the length of the subgenital plate (Walker, 1973), females of the other subgenera have a welldeveloped ovipositor, sometimes exceeding the length of the hind femur (Randell, 1964; Gorochov, 2019), discarding the ovipositor length as a generic character, as was the case in the past, and rather, it is the structure of the male genitalia which defines the genus (Randell, 1964; García-Novo, 2002). Anurogryllus is very diverse since the range of its distribution has several gaps where in the future many species may be found since the distribution of its species is restricted (except Anurogryllus (Anurogryllus) muticus (De Geer, 1773)) and several examples are sympatric.

description: Thermoresponsive polymer coatings on cell culture substrates enable noninvasive cell detachment and cell sheet fabrication for biomedical applications. Optimized coatings should support controlled culture and detachment of various cell types and allow chemical modifications, e.g., to introduce specific growth factors for enhanced gene expression. Furthermore, the sterilization and storage stability of the coatings must be assessed for translational attempts. Poly(glycidyl ether) (PGE) brush coatings with short alkoxy side chains provide a versatile platform for cell culture and detachment, but their polyether backbones are susceptible to oxidation and degradation. Thus, we rationally designed potential alternatives with thermoresponsive glycerol-based block copolymers comprising a stable polyacrylate or polymethacrylate backbone and an oligomeric benzophenone (BP)-based anchor. The resulting poly(ethoxy hydroxypropyl acrylate-b-benzophenone acrylate) (pEHPA-b-BP) and poly(ethoxy hydroxypropyl methacrylate-b-benzophenone methacrylate) (pEHPMA-b-BP) block copolymers preserve the short alkoxy-terminated side chains of the PGE derived structure on a stable, but hydrophobic, aliphatic backbone. The amphiphilicity balance is maintained through incorporated hydroxyl groups, which simultaneously can be used for chemical modification. The polymers were tailored into brush coatings on polystyrene surfaces via directed adsorption using the BP oligomer anchor. The resulting coatings with thickness values up to ∼3 nm supported efficient adhesion and proliferation of human fibroblasts despite minimal protein adsorption. The conditions for cell sheet fabrication on pEHPA-b-BP were gentler and more reliable than on pEHPMA-b-BP, which required additional cooling. Hence, the stability of pEHPA-b-BP and PGE coatings was evaluated post gamma and formaldehyde (FO) gas sterilization. Gamma sterilization partially degraded PGE coatings and hindered cell detachment on pEHPA-b-BP. In contrast, FO sterilization only slowed detachment on PGE coatings and had no adverse effects on pEHPA-b-BP, maintaining their efficient performance in cell sheet fabrication.

description: Davmata falcata sp. nov.
(Figs. 4–6, 31–41)
Description. Ground color pale to yellow-whitish. Eyes brown, vertex with short streak at apex and two patches mesad of the eyes ochre-yellow (Fig. 4). Face pale (Fig. 6). Pronotum with large orange patch medially, and pair of smaller light ochre-yellow sublateral patches. Basal triangles and patch on scutellum yellowish-brown, tip of scutellum black (Fig. 4). Fore wing pale, with dark brown spots and ochre-yellow patches (Fig. 4).
Abdominal apodemes almost reaching hind margin of 5th sternite (Fig. 33).
Pygofer side with about 4 rigid macrosetae at lower basal angle, and some gracile microsetae; caudal part with small spiny sculpture; pygofer dorsal appendage falcate (Fig. 34). Subgenital plate with 4–5 macrosetae in a row (Fig. 36). Style with apical part finger-like, preapical lobe large, with some sensory papillae (Fig. 37). Connective V-shaped (Fig. 38). Aedeagal shaft with twisted hook-like process apically; with long rod-like process basally; dorsoatrium undeveloped, short and broad; gonopore subapical and ventral (Figs. 39–41). Specimen collected at Guanping with aedeagus a mirror image of those collected at Yexianggu (Fig. 41).
Measurement. Male length 2.0–2.1mm (including wing).
Material examined. Holotype: 3, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Jinghong, Yexianggu, at light, 30 August 2010, coll. Zhang Meng; Paratypes: 3, same data as holotype; 3, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Jinghong, Guanping, at light, 29 August 2010, coll. Zhang Meng.
Diagnosis. The new species is superficially similar to D. neka, but can be distinguished by its male genitalia as follows: pygofer dorsal appendage falcate, not bifurcate at apex; style with apical part finger-like; aedeagus with one process apically and one basally.
Etymology. The name “ falcata ” is derived from the Latin adjective “falcatus” which refers to the falcate pygofer dorsal appendage.

Enguterothrix Denis, 1962: 193; type species Enguterothrix crinipes Denis, 1962: 193, figs 33-38; male holotype and female allotype (in MRAC) examined.
Apophygone Tanasevitch, 2014: 395 syn. nov.; type species Apophygone simpulum Tanasevitch, 2014: 395, figs 8-13, 24-25; male and female paratypes (in ZMMU) examined.
Remarks: The genus Enguterothrix was established for two species, E. crinipes Denis, 1962 from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the type species) and E. fuscipalpis Denis, 1962 from Uganda (Denis, 1962). Some years later, Holm (1968) described a third species, E. tenuipalpis from the vicinity of the type locality of E. crinipes. As it will be shown below, E. fuscipalpis does not belong to this genus, E. tenuipalpis is a synonym, and thus the Afrotropical element of the genus is represented by one species only, i.e. E. crinipes.
The monotypic genus Apophygone Tanasevitch, 2014 was established for A. simpulum Tanasevitch, 2014 from northern Thailand (Tanasevitch, 2014). A comparison of the type specimens of A. simpulum and E. crinipes clearly showed that they are congeneric, thus Apophygone becomes a junior synonym of Enguterothrix.
Diagnosis: See Tanasevitch (2014), under the diagnosis of Apophygone.
Species included: At present, the genus contains two species: Enguterothrix crinipes and E. simpulum comb. nov. (transferred from Apophygone). Enguterothrix fuscipalpis, known from Uganda (Denis, 1962), is removed from the genus and preliminarily placed in Micrargus Dahl, 1886 (see below).
Distribution: The genus shows a Palaeotropical disjunct montane distribution: one species, E. crinipes, occurs on mountains of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a second, very closely related species, E. simpulum, is widespread in the mountains of northern Thailand. This type of disjunction is seen for Linyphiidae for the first time, but it is probably not a unique phenomenon. Further investigations of the Afrotropical and Oriental araneofaunas will likely reveal new examples of this type of distribution. Afrotropical-Oriental disjunctions are known among other groups of spiders, for example in the sparassid genus Barylestis Simon, 1910 (see Jäger, 2008)

Simulium weji

description: Simulium weji Takaoka, 2001
Simulium weji differs from other species in the Thai tuberosum group by having pupae with microtubercles on the antennal sheath, conical cephalic microtubercles (Fig. 4 D), gill filaments decreasing in length from dorsal to ventral, the dorsal filament thicker than the others, and the upper pair on a short stalk but the middle and lower pairs almost sessile (Fig. 7 G). In the female, sternite VII has a pair of long clusters of hairs. In the male, the median sclerite is somewhat teardrop shaped (Fig. 9 E) and the head is slightly wider than the thorax. Meristic characters of the larvae (e.g., number of primary fan rays, lobules on the rectal papilla, hooklet rows, and hooklets per row) are greater than those of all other Thai members of the S. tuberosum group (Table 2) and might be related to the unique calcareous stream habitat of S. weji. The cocoons of this species accumulate a deposit of calcium carbonate.

Simulium yuphae

description: Simulium yuphae Takaoka and Choochote, 2005 b
Simulium yuphae is distinguished by having larvae with an infuscated head-spot pattern on the cephalic apotome (Fig. 2 H); pupae with the ventral pair of gill filaments directed somewhat posteriorly, a pit-like organ near the gill base (Fig. 7 H), and microtubercles on the antennal sheaths; and females with an absence of clustered hairs on sternite VII. The median sclerite (Fig. 9 F) of the male resembles that of S. weji. The pit-like organ associated with the gill base in S. yuphae is presumably homoplasious with the pit-like organ in some species (e.g., described by Takaoka 2003) in the subgenus Morops.

The identity of all R. punctulata specimens was confirmed through the male terminalia according to the redescription performed by Vilela & Bächli (2009) and through the comparison of the arista branch pattern with R. punctuloides sp. nov. The arista branches are longer and curved (s-shaped) in R. punctulata (Fig. 10 c), while branches are short and straight in R. punctuloides sp. nov. (Fig. 5 d). Because both species occur sympatrically in the Pampas, knowledge of the terminalia of R. punctulata female from the Pampas (Fig. 11 a–c) is also important to the species determination. The females can be differentiated through comparisons of the spermathecal capsule; R. punctuloides sp. nov. presents an invagination in the tip of the spermathecal capsule (Fig. 7 c) that is not seen in R. punctulata (Fig. 11 c).

Comments. This is the type genus of the family, with a wide distribution on the planet, although without records in Australia, where it has been replaced by Teleogryllus Chopard, 1961 (Chopard, 1961; Cigliano et al. 2021). Contains 101 species in two subgenera, the subgenus Gryllus with most species and Homaloblemus Saussure, 1877 with two African species with distinctly modified head (Gorochov, 2001). They are known by the common name of Field Crickets, although it is a term used indiscriminately for members of the subfamily Gryllinae. A new species from the Caribbean and a preliminary analysis of the Latin American species are described below.

Simulium

description: Simulium unknown species 2
This taxon was recognized cytologically based on 8 larvae from Champa Thong waterfall in Phayao Province (Tangkawanit et al. 2009). The larvae are morphologically similar to those of S. yuphae, but lack head spots and infuscation on the frontoclypeal apotome. The larva of S. unknown species 2 is described below, but we defer formal description and naming of this species until pupae and adults are available.
Body grayish black to grayish brown. Head capsule yellowish to light brown; head spots faint (Fig. 2 I); ventral surface of head capsule whitish yellow except area along margins of postgenal cleft dark brown; faint negative transverse spot on each side of postgenal cleft (Fig. 3 J). Antenna longer than stem of labral fan; length ratios of articles (proximal to distal) 1.00: 1.05: 0.76. Labral fan with 36–38 primary rays. Hypostoma with median tooth and each lateral tooth longer than others; 5 or 6 hypostomal bristles per side. Postgenal cleft deep, triangular, pointed anteriorly (Fig. 3 J). Abdominal cuticle nearly bare; both sides of anal sclerite moderately covered with simple colorless setae. Anal sclerite X shaped with broadened anterior arms 0.8–0.9 times as long as posterior arms. Abdominal segment IX lacking ventral tubercles. Posterior circlet with 70–80 rows of hooklets and up to 14 hooklets per row.

comb. nov.
Apophygone simpulum Tanasevitch, 2014: 395, figs 8-13, 24-
25.
Type material examined: ZMMU; 5 male and 7 female paratypes of Apophygone simpulum from Khao Yai National Park, Thailand.
Remarks: A comparison of type specimens of Enguterothrix crinipes and E. simpulum revealed that these two species not only belong to the same genus, but are extremely close to each other, slightly differing only in the shape of the male carapace, as well as in small details of the female genitals. The head elevation of the carapace in the male holotype of E. crinipes is slightly larger than in E. simpulum males, while eye size in the latter is significantly larger. The palps of both species seem to be nearly identical. The epigynes in both species are also very similar, but small differences can be observed in the shape of the epigynal plate: in A. simpulum it is somewhat higher but narrower.
Distribution: The species is widespread in northern and northeastern Thailand (see Tanasevitch, 2014).

Mesonotum (Fig. 24) with regularly 4 rows of acrostichal setulae in mid-longitudinal stripe. Wing (Fig. 25) uniformly dark brown from level of dm-cu to distal margin, except for clear spots in cells r 2+3 and r 4+5 and a diffuse patch in m 1; crossveins r-m and dm-cu surrounded by brown stripe; distal portion of veins R 2+3, R 4+5 and M 1, surrounded with large brown spots; distal part of CuA 1 subtended by elongate-oval dark brown area extending to dm-cu. Fore basitarsomere (Fig. 26) dark brown base and apex and median two thirds white.Abdominal tergites mostly dark yellow with dark brown markings on posteromedial and lateral margins (Figs 27–28).
Material examined. CHINA: 1♀, Yunnan, Lushui, Pianma (N24.124037°, E120.675028°), 25 Jul. 2012 – 10 Aug. 2012, leg. J. Wang (CAU).
Distribution. CHINA (Yunnan) [new record], LAOS, MYANMAR.
Remarks. This species is still known only from females and the material studied herein, differs from the redescription of Lonsdale & Marshall (2016) in the following characters: (i) head with narrow brownish stripe from ocellar tubercle to anterior third of frons; (ii) anepisternum dark brown with whitish dorsal stripe; (iii) katepisternum dark brown with whitish yellow spot at posterodorsal margin; (iv) mid coxa with anterior half dark brown and posterior half yellow; (v) hind coxa partially brown and yellow; (vi) mid and hind femora with diffuse brownish distomedial rings (Fig. 20); (vii) abdominal tergite 5 with broad dark brown area laterally, fusing to the posterome- dial brown spot; (viii) tergite 6 brownish yellow with narrow lateral area dark brown. Lonsdale & Marshall (2016) did not mention the color of palpus, however we note that it is dark brown, unlike other species in the genus except N. biguttatus Wulp, 1896.

(Figs. 2, 11–12)
Holotype: RUSSIA: Republic of Buryatia: ɗ, “BURYATIA: Barguzinskyi Mts.: left tributary of Shamanka river [15 km SW Barguzin], h= 1800 m, 6.05.1997, deeply under stone near the edge of snow, leg. A. Shavrin“ (ZIN).
Description. In general appearance highly similar to L. dabanensis. Body length 4.8 mm. Body and legs dark-brown, antennae and palpae lighter. Body and extremities covered by grey setae, on pronotum setae short, but still longer than on head. Punctation on head and pronotum fine and dense, on elytra stronger and sparser. Microsculpture isodiametric on head and scutellum, transverse on abdominal tergites. Habitus as in Fig. 2.
Eyes developed, prominent. Ocelli very small, poorly visible, partly pigmented. Length / width ratios of antennomeres as follows: I: 10:4; II: 7:2; III: 9:3; IV: 10:3; V: 11:3; VI: 11:3; VII: 11:3; VIII: 10:3; IX: 10:3; X: 8:4; XI: 12:4.
Pronotum relatively feebly heart-shaped, with strong lateral impressions (WP:WH=42:45; WP:LP=42:45; WP:WB=42:31).
Elytra elongated, gradually widened to apex (WE:WP=31:45; LE:WE=89:31).
Length ratios of metatarsal segments: 7:4:4:3:7.
Male. Segments of protarsus widened. Aedeagus (Figs. 11–12) short, with triangular pointed apex, parameres extending well beyond apex of median lobe.
Female unknown.
Comparison. Lesteva barguzinica is in many characters similar to L. dabanensis, but differs in the following characters: the dark colour of the body; elytra longer, feebly widened to apex and covered by long grey setae; punctation of elytra coarser and sparser; the aedeagus is very short. From L. brathinoides and L. sajanensis it is distinguished by the darker coloration, strongly reduced ocelli, and by the shape of the aedeagus.
Etymology. The specific epithet has been derived from the name of the type locality: the Barguzin mountain range.

Enguterothrix fuscipalpis Denis, 1962: 197, figs 39-40.
Type material examined: MRAC #114994; female holotype of Enguterothrix fuscipalpis.
Remarks: Enguterothrix fuscipalpis was described on the basis of two females from Uganda (Denis, 1962) and was incorrectly placed in this genus. The holotype (the paratype was not seen) does not belong to Enguterothrix, which is supported by a different formula of chaetotaxy and by a dissimilar epigyne conformation. Moreover, I could not find any other Enguterothrix specimens among the Afrotropical linyphiids that I have seen so far, therefore I preliminarily place this species in Micrargus. The transfer is supported by the same chaetotaxy (2.2.1.1), lack of the trichobothrium on metatarsus IV, similar value of the TmI (0.35), as well as the similar epigyne conformation, namely, the presence of a large epigynal cavity (see Fig. 1). The discovery of the corresponding male will throw more light on the systematic position of this species within the linyphiids.
