Neocarpia

description: Genus Neocarpia Tsaur & Hsu, 2003
Neocarpia Tsaur & Hsu, 2003: 440.
Type species: Neocarpia maai Tsaur & Hsu, 2003: 440, by original designation.
Morphology. Head: Head including eyes slightly narrower than pronotum. Vertex widening towards basal emargination; lateral carinae strongly elevated; subapical carina absent. Frons lacking median ocellus; median carina present. Rostrum distinctly surpassing hind coxae.
Thorax: Pronotum short, intermediate carinae curved following posterior margins of eyes. Forewings steeply tectiform; widening towards apex; apical margin rounded; Sc+R fused, forming common stem Sc+R, M emerging separately from basal cell; Sc+R forking slightly basad or at same level as fork CuA1+CuA2; crossvein MP-CuA about as long as or longer than vein MP from M fork to this veinlet; position of crossvein R-M distad of fork MA-MP; position of crossvein MP-CuA at same level as crossvein R-M; apical cells 10.
Male genitalia: Genital styles as in Figs 17 D, E, with inner side of basal arm bearing a small tooth.
Female genitalia: Ovipositor elongate, orthopteroid, slightly curved upwards, reaching or slightly surpassing anal style; 8th sternite medially very long, slightly bent dorsad, posterior margin u-shaped; anal segment square (as long as wide) or rectangular (slightly longer than wide) in dorsal view; anal style as long as wide or slightly longer than wide; 9th tergite without wax plates.
Remarks. Neocarpia has only been represented by one species from Taiwan, N. maai. This species and the Australian species described below share many characters, i.e. venation of the forewing, shape of genital spines and arrangement of spines on the phallotheca (except that N. rhizophorae has one fewer spine than N. maai). Nevertheless, the two species differ in the chaetotaxy of the 2nd hind tarsomere. Tsaur & Hsu (2003) observed eight apical teeth in N. maai whereas N. rhizophorae bears only six to seven apical teeth. Tsaur & Hsu (2003) list the character state “transverse veinlet M3+4-Cu1a much longer than M3+4 from M fork to this veinlet” in the description of Neocarpia. The holotype of N. rhizophorae shows a situation where on one forewing the transverse veinlet M3+4-Cu1a (= crossvein MP-CuA) is about as long as M3+4 (= MP) from M fork to this veinlet, however on the other forewing the transverse veinlet M3+4-Cu1a is distinctly longer than M3+4 from M fork to this veinlet. In the female paratypes of N. rhizophorae both of those veinlets are about the same length.

Nesochlamys

description: Genus Nesochlamys Kirkaldy, 1907
Nesocharis Kirkaldy, 1907: 110 preoccupied by Nesocharis Alexander, 1903 (Aves). Type species: Nesocharis kalypso Kirkaldy, 1907, by monotypy. Nesochlamys Kirkaldy, 1907: 115
Type species: Nesochlamys vitiensis Kirkaldy, 1907.
Notes: Since the name Nesocharis was preoccupied by the bird genus Nesocharis Alexander, Fennah (1950) used Nesochlamys as the first available name for the genus without comment. Unfortunately, he still used Nesocharis in his key to genera (Fennah 1950).
Morphology. Body length: 3 3.1–3.9 mm.
Head: Head including eyes much narrower than pronotum. Vertex with strongly angulated anterior margin; median carina distinct, covering 1/2–3/4 of length of vertex; lateral carinae strongly elevated; subapical carina absent or present. Frons invisible in dorsal view; maximum width of frons more than twice apical width, steadily widening; position of maximum width of frons slightly dorsad of centre of frontoclypeal suture; median carina complete; lateral carinae slightly elevated. Frontoclypeal suture slightly semicircular, bent upwards, median part not reaching lower margin of antennal scape. Lateral carinae of anteclypeus weakly developed or absent. Rostrum not or just reaching hind coxae; subapical segment of rostrum 1.1–1.3 times longer than apical segment.
Thorax: Forewing with Sc+R+M fused, forming common stem; MA apically bifid. Hind tibia with 5 apical teeth.
Female genitalia: Ovipositor elongate, orthopteroid, slightly curved upwards, reaching or surpassing anal style; 8th sternite medially very short, not bent dorsad (in same plane as 7th sternite), posterior margin ushaped; anal segment square (as long as wide) or rectangular (slightly longer than wide) in dorsal view, sometimes apex wider than base; anal style longer than wide; 9th tergite without wax plates.
Remarks. Two species were previously recognised in Nesochlamys, N. vnigra (Muir, 1931) from Vanuatu and N. kalypso from Fiji (= N. vitiensis). Nesochlamys has not previously been recorded from Australia. In the course of this project five species of Nesochlamys were found in the Australian material. None of the species displays the distinct colour pattern (black, v-shaped mark on the forewings) of N. vnigra. Nesochlamys kalypso can be distinguished from the Australian species by the presence of a pointed tip on the apical lobes of the anal tube (rounded tips in Australian species). The Australian material of Nesochlamys contains 40 females collected in North Queensland and, due to similarity in external features, these could only be identified to genus level.

Pronotum light brown, mesonotum dark brown. Forewings hyaline with some light to mid brown patches; veins and tubercles concolorous with cells; apical parts of veins near pterostigma darkened; pterostigma light brown. Abdomen mid brown. Legs light brown.
Morphology. Body length: 3 3.1–3.4 mm.
Head: Vertex 0.8–1.0 times as wide as long; with median carina covering 1/2–3/4 of length of vertex. Frons 1.4–1.5 times longer than wide. Rostrum not reaching hind coxae.
Thorax: Forewing 3.5–4.0 times longer than wide; with about 16–18 tubercles on costa; Sc+R forking slightly basad or at same level as fork CuA1+CuA2; position of crossvein R-M basad or at same level as fork MA-MP; RP apically bifid; apical cells 9–10.

description: Subfamily Alogolykinae Hoffman, 1963
Diagnostic remarks. According to Likhitrakarn et al. (2013), the subfamily Alogolykinae seems best characterized by the absence of a clear-cut division of the solenophore or solenophore-like structure near/around the solenomere into a membranous lamina medialis or a similarly membranous lamina lateralis, or both. In Polydrepanini, this is sometimes coupled with a twisted, helicoid course of the seminal groove. In addition, the gonofemorite in Alogolykinae is often nearly lacking to very strongly abbreviated, while numerous species show adenostyles on male femora 1 and/or 2. The latter two traits are characteristic of some species of the subfamily Australiosomatinae Brölemann, 1916 as well, and are occasionally present also in the subfamily Paradoxosomatinae Daday, 1889, but in such cases the solenophore branch or branches remain free and never fully sheathe a primitively long, strong and rod-like solenomere.
The attempt by Sankaran and Sebastian (2018) to denominate some membranous structures of the solenophore in their new species of Polydrepanum Carl, 1932 as the homologue to a lamina lateralis can hardly be accepted, as discussed below.
Basically, the stronger/thicker the solenomere branch in both the order Polydesmida and the family Paradoxosomatidae, the less strong and intricate the support the solenophore renders to it tends to be. In contrast, the thinner/weaker the subflagelliform or filiform solenomere, the stronger, more intricate and solid the support of the solenophore tends to be.

description: Tribe Polydrepanini Jeekel, 1968
Diagnostic remark. Based on Golovatch (2014, 2015), contrary to the Alogolykini which typically shows a nearly fully to very strongly reduced gonofemorite, coupled with a basally originating, long, thick, mostly rod-like solenomere, the tribe Polydrepanini seems to be best characterized by a clearly elongate, mostly slender, sometimes twisted/helicoid gonofemorite (fe) and a more or less thin, mostly flagelliform, suberect, distal to subapical solenomere (sl) often forming a conspicuous loop/curve (k) near the base (e.g., Figs 3–8).

Type species: Polydrepanum tamilum Carl, 1932, by monotypy.
Taxonomic composition. Before providing a refined generic diagnosis, the species composition of Polydrepanum must be clarified, as this genus is perhaps the most ambiguous taxonomically amongst the Alogolykinae. Even though Sankaran and Sebastian (2018) have recently reviewed the genus, provided its diagnosis, described a new species, and gave a key to species, their results require revision.
The following nominate Polydrepanum species have previously been distinguished, five of which are named and the remaining three unnamed. All of them are presented below in alphabetic order, also being catalogued, rediagnosed, illustrated, and commented upon as regards their present status. All four true Polydrepanum species are keyed as well.

Remarks. Among the most important characters of this species are the presence of adenostyles only on male femora 1 (Figs 1 and 2), coupled with the gonofemorite (fe) being slender and long, devoid of any traces of torsion, while the solenophore (sph) is peculiar in shape: a single, very large, unequally bifid, pincer-shaped, lateral lobe (a), and one apicomesal spine (b) lying distal to the basal loop (k) of a free solenomere (sl). Base of sph on ventral side forming a protecting lobe (lo) to shield the basal loop (k) of sl. Distal half of both sph and sl suberect and directed ventrad (Figs 3–5).
Because the gonopodal femorite in P. asperrimum is untwisted (Figs 3–5), unlike that of the type species P. tamilum (see below and Figs 17–19), contrary to Jeekel (1968), we are inclined to revive Grammorhabdus Carl, 1932, stat. revalid., to accommodate both G. asperrimus as its type species and a recently described species treated immediately below.

Figs 6–8
Polydrepanum fissum Sankaran & Sebastian, 2018: 170, figs 1, 4–7 (D). India, Tamil Nadu.
Remarks. Among the most important characters of this species are the presence of adenostyles on both male femora 1 and 2, coupled with the gonofemorite being fairly slender and long, devoid of any traces of torsion, delimited from the acropodite by a very distinct postfemoral sulcus/cingulum (su), while the solenophore (sph) is peculiar in shape: two small, subdentiform, laterobasal lobes (a), and two similarly small, subdentiform, apicomesal lobes (b) lying distal to the basal loop (k) of a free solenomere (sl). Base of sph on ventral side forming an elongated and undulated protecting lobe (lo) to shield the basal sl loop. Distal half of both sph and sl subcircular and directed ventrad (Figs 6–8).
It is the unusually elongated and undulated lo that Sankaran and Sebastian (2018) must have mistaken for a lamina lateralis. However, that homologization is hardly correct, because the same membranous structure in the undoubtedly very similar P. asperrimum is interrupted in the subbasal and middle parts, being largely traced only subapically (Figs 3–5).
Because the gonopodal femorite in P. fissum is untwisted (Figs 6–8), unlike that of the type species P. tamilum (see below and Figs 17–19), but very much like in Grammorhabdus asperrimus, contrary to Sankaran and Sebastian (2018), we are inclined to assign P. fissum to Grammorhabdus Carl, 1932, comb. nov.

Polydrepanum horridum — Sankaran & Sebastian, 2018: 170, fig. 6B (D).
Remarks. Among the most important characters of this species are the presence of dense metatergal setation, and of adenostyles only on male femora 2, coupled with the gonofemorite being quite slender and long, but with clear evidence of torsion, while the solenophore is also peculiar in shape and rather similar to that of P. asperrimum: a large, rounded, mesal lobe (lo), but only a single apicolateral spine (a) distal to the basal loop of a free solenomere (sl). Base of lo on mesal side forming a protecting shield for the basal sl loop. Distal half of solenophore clearly curved and directed laterad (Figs 9–12).
Despite some critical comments following the original description of P. horridum (Bano, 1997, 1998; Bano & Murthy, 1997; Nguyen & Sierwald, 2013; Golovatch & Wesener, 2016) that suggested the erection of a new genus to accommodate this species alone, we still feel that the distinctions are not strong enough to do so, because both P. horridum and P. tamilum (cf. Figs 9–12 and 17–19) share such decisive characters as a twisted gonofemorite and the basal loop of a flagelliform solenomere (sl) protected by a large lobe (lo) of a distally strongly curved solenophore (sph). In other words, we consider P. horridum as being congeneric with P. tamilum.

Polydrepanum tamulum (sic!)— Jeekel, 1980b: 175, figs 16–19 (D).
Remarks. Being the type species of Polydrepanum, it shows only male femora 2 equipped with adenostyles (Fig. 16), while the gonopod demonstrates a twisted femorite and a complex solenophore (sph), the latter being divided into a small, subquadrate, lateral protecting lobe (lo) with two adjacent, curved, distofemoral processes (a and b), both latter forming a nearly complete dorsal ring and lying distal to the basal loop (k) of a free and subacuminate solenomere (sl). Base of lo on ventral side forming a protecting shield for the basal sl loop k. Distal half of solenophore strongly curved and directed dorsad (Figs 17–20).
Because P. tamilum shows a clearly twisted gonofemorite (Figs 17–20), vs. an untwisted one in P. asperrimum (Figs 3–5) or P. fissum (Figs 6–8), only two latter species can be considered congeneric and belonging to Grammorhabdus. In contrast, only four species, including both P. tamilum and P. horridum, appear to represent true named Polydrepanum, as further discussed below.

Polydrepanum sp. 1 — Sankaran & Sebastian, 2018: 171, fig. 6D (D).
Remarks. An unnamed species from an unspecified locality in Karnataka state, India, the left gonopod of which has been presented in a crude sketch by Bano and Murthy (1997), reproduced here in Figs 21 and 22. This species, like both following ones, is anyway to be neglected, being unnamed and based on material of unknown provenance and whereabouts, shows a clearly torsate gonofemorite, a basal loop of the solenomere, and a distinctly coiled and slender distal half of the solenophore. This condition resembles that observed in both P. tamilum and P. horridum (cf. Figs 9–12, 17–20 and 21, 22) and thus may prove to be their potential congener (see also below).

Because this species, likewise to be neglected, being unnamed and based on material of unknown provenance and whereabouts, seems to show an untwisted gonofemorite, a basal loop of the solenomere, and a distinctly coiled and slender distal half of the solenophore, it does resemble Grammorhabdus asperrimus or G. fissus (cf. Figs 3–5, 6–8 and 23, 23) and thus may prove to be their potential congener.

Remarks. An unnamed species from an unspecified locality in Karnataka state, India, the right gonopod of which has been presented in a crude sketch by Bano and Murthy (1997), reproduced here in Figs 25 and 26. Because this species, albeit to be neglected in also being unnamed and based on material of unknown provenance and whereabouts, seems to show an untwisted gonofemorite, no basal loop of the solenomere, and a tripartite and complex solenophore, the distoventral half of which is distinctly enlarged, curved and acuminate, but the ventrobasal part bearing a process, it cannot be a Polydrepanum (cf. Figs 17–20 and 25, 26). Instead, this species so readily resembles the new Delarthrum to be described below that both these species are clearly congeneric, yet representing a genus different from Polydrepanum.

Delarthrum

description: Diagnosis of Delarthrum.
Gonofemorite elongate, slender and untwisted, its apical part typically obliquely truncate ventrad or dorsad; solenophore usually complex, protecting a long, flagelliform to somewhat ribbon-shaped solenomere (sl) devoid of a basal loop/curve (Golovatch 2014b) (Figs 25–44).
Species included: Delarthrum obscurum Attems, 1936, the type species of Delarthrum (Figs 27–30), and numerous others, including the type species of the following generic categories previously synonymized under Delarthrum (see above): Armolites spiniger (Attems, 1936), the type species of Armolites (Figs 31–33), Martensosoma unicolor (Attems, 1936), the type species of Martensosoma (Figs 34–36) (NB: although formally synonymized with Delarthrum (Golovatch 1992), Martensosoma spp. still retain two gonopodal characters that make them distinct: the femorite is devoid of any evident distal outgrowth, and the solenomere is rather ribbon-shaped than filiform; thus, Martensosoma seems best to be regarded as a defined Himalayan species-group of Delarthrum), Nepalomorpha kuznetsovi Golovatch, 1994, the type species of Nepalomorpha (Figs 37–39), Orophosoma hingstoni (Carl, 1935), the type species of Orophosoma (Figs 40, 41), and Parorthomorpha longiseta Golovatch, 1994, the type species of Parorthomorpha (Figs 42–44). All species of Delarthrum have been listed or described in Golovatch (2014b, 2015, 2016b), while not only Martensosoma, but also the other ex-generic categories above, currently all junior synonyms, can be considered as representing species groups of Delarthrum. Considering the removal of two Dasypharkis (see below) and the addition of a new Delarthrum from Kerala, the genus Delarthrum presently counts 55 species, the taxonomically most important of which (the type species of generic categories, presently the species groups) are being briefly reassessed and illustrated above.
