Eumerus aurifrons

description: Eumerus aurifrons (Wiedemann, 1824)
Pipiza aurifrons Wiedemann, 1824: 52.
Type locality: 'W. Indies′ (Lectotype ZMUC 00024836: http://daim.snm.ku.dk/digitized-type-collection-details? catno=zmuc00024836).
Material examined: Pakistan. Punjab: Islamabad Capital Territory, Kachnar Park, 4♂, 14.x.2017; Trail 5, 1♂, 1♀, 14.x.2017; 1♀, 12.iv.2018, leg. M.A. Hassan (NIM).
Remarks: Eumerus aurifrons is remarkably similar to E. nepalensis, both possessing orange antennae, and densely haired eyes (see detailed diagnosis and comparative note under E. nepalensis). At present, these two species can only be differentiated based on the presence of hind basitarsus flattened in females of Eumerus aurifrons, whereas hind basitarsus is normal, not flattened in females of E.nepalensis.
Distribution: Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Peshawar; Punjab: Murree), – Australia, China (Taiwan), Ghana, America (Hawaii), India (Bihar, Chandigarh, Jammu Kashmir, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal), Indonesia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Paraguay, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Tanzania (Bigot, 1892; Paramonov, 1957; Smith &Vockeroth,1980; Ôhara & Kusigemati,1985; Ghorpadé & Shehzad, 2013; Ghorpadé, 2015, 2019; Mitra et al., 2015; Thompson & Vockeroth, 2016; Shehzad et al., 2017; Garcete-Barrett et al., 2020; Steenis et al., 2021).

Lectotype (designated here):— NEPAL [as NEPALIA], 1821, Wallich Cat. no. 4309a (K, K001038681) (Fig. 2); isolectotypes: [A, A00049675, BM, BM000838984, C, CAL, CAL0000066376–77, 81, CGE, CGE00080099, E, E 00301194– 96, GH, GH02462084, GH, GH02463721, MICH, MICH-V-1104444, NY, NY00337331, OXF, OXF00140908–09, P, P00499879, S, S11-17212, W, W0215374].
Notes: Celastrus rufa [rufus] is based on two gatherings, “ Common in the forests of the valley of Nipal [Nepal] and “I have also found it at Tambakan [Indonesia]” (Wallich in Roxburgh 1824). We traced a total of 20 Wallich collection of C. rufus from Nepal housed at A, BM, CAL, C, CGE, E, GH, K, MICH, NY, OXF, P, S and W that all regarded here as syntypes (McNeill 2014). But our efforts to trace the Tambakan specimens were all in vain [perhaps Wallich might have observed the plant at Tambakan but might not have collected it. If he had collected, then he would have included that gathering in his catalogue]. The specimen at K (K001038681) and CAL (CAL0000066376) maintained with flowers, fruits, and the original field label in Wallich’s handwriting, of which the former specimen is selected here as lectotype.

Eumerus pulverulentus

description: Eumerus pulverulentus Brunetti, 1923
Eumerus pulverulentus Brunetti, 1923: 258.
Type locality: India (Bihar District: Pusa).
Remarks: Brunetti described this species based on both males and females from India. The type specimens are deposited in the Natural History Museum,London.He remarked that this species is quite distinct among its congeners due to the scutellum with a yellow margin, elongated antennae, and the markings on abdominal tergite IV. During our present study, we found that E. vestitus is similar to Eumerus pulverulentus in the yellow margined scutellum, but E. vestitus can be easily distinguished by the shape of sternite IV of the male, the distinct row of short spines on apical ⅓ of hind femora,and the enlarged hind basitarsus.
Distribution: Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa:Peshawar), – India (Bihar, Jammu Kashmir, Rajasthan) (Mitra et al., 2015; Shehzad et al., 2017).

Notes: Haines (1921) described G. rufa var. latifolia based on his collections from Ravines in the Sameshwar Hills, Bihar and differentiated from the G. rufa based on the broader leaves. We could trace two specimens referred to in the protologue, one housed in K (K001325922) and another in ABD (ABDUH:8/234). Both specimens have a handwritten label as “3967. Gymnosporia rufa | Ramnagar Forests in valleys. B. & O.| November 1916 ” [Ravines in the Sameshwar Hills are part of the Ramnagar Forest, Bihar]. The specimen housed in K (K001325922) is with fruits and is designated here as lectotype.

Eumerus sexvittatus

description: Eumerus sexvittatus Brunetti, 1915
Eumerus sexvittatus Brunetti, 1915: 245.
Type locality: India (Kumaon District: Bhowali, Western Himalayas).
Remarks: Eumerus sexvittatus was described by Brunetti from a single female specimen from India.The type specimen is deposited in the collection of the Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta.The major diagnostic characters used in the original description are based largely on body coloration, the presence or absence of hairs on the eyes, and body size.However, the male sternite IV and genitalia are probably necessary for comparison with known congeners in India and Pakistan.The male is still unknown.
Distribution: Pakistan (Punjab: Khanewal), – India (Uttarakhand) (Brunetti, 1915; Ghorpadé, 2015, 2019; Shehzad et al., 2017).

Polietina

description: Polietina Schnabl & Dziedzicki, 1911
Diagnosis. Polietina can be recognized by the presence of three notopleural setae, the median reduced, and the setulose postalar wall. The male cercal plate has median and marginal spiny processes on the ventral surface, and the female has a strong proclinate fronto-orbital seta and a pair of interfrontal setulae; wings have M setulose ventrally from r-m to dm-cu, and the subcostal sclerite have two cilia (modified from Nihei & de Carvalho 2007).
Remarks. Nihei & de Carvalho (2007) keyed 13 Polietina species from 15 known at that time, except Polietina basicincta (Stein, 1904) and P. mellina (Stein, 1904). These species were not included in the key because they were not recognized anymore, and the type specimens of both species (female specimens) were destroyed (Pont 2013). Nihei & de Carvalho (2007) presented a brief diagnosis of both species based only in their original descriptions. Polietina species were studied by pattern-based biogeography with panbiogeographic track analysis (Nihei & de Carvalho 2005) and the Brooks Parsimony Analysis method (Nihei & de Carvalho 2007), and both indicated that the origin of the genus occurred in South America. Löwenberg-Neto & de Carvalho (2013) presented the checklist of the species of the genus with distribution data and Patitucci et al. (2013) found only Polietina orbitalis in Buenos Aires province (Argentina). Haseyama et al. (2015b) presented new distribution records for P. bicolor Albuquerque, 1956 and P. orbitalis (Stein, 1904). Recently, P. orbitalis was recorded for the first time in Colombia (Uribe-Macias et al. 2010). The wing shape of this species is influenced by environmental variability (Alves et al. 2016). In the most recent study on the phylogeny of Muscidae, it was corroborated that Polietina belongs to the subfamily Muscinae (Haseyama et al. 2015a).
The species currently included in Polietina are as follows: Polietina basicincta (Stein, 1904); Polietina bicolor Albuquerque, 1956; Polietina concinna (Wulp, 1896); Polietina flavidicincta (Stein, 1904); Polietina flavithorax (Stein, 1904); Polietina major Albuquerque, 1956; Polietina mellina (Stein, 1904); Polietina minor Albuquerque, 1956; Polietina orbitalis (Stein, 1904); Polietina ponti sp. nov.; Polietina prima (Couri & Machado, 1990) = Polietina nigra Couri & de Carvalho, 1996, syn. nov.; Polietina rubella (Wulp, 1896); Polietina steini (Enderlein, 1927); Polietina univittata Couri & de Carvalho, 1996; and Polietina wulpi Couri & de Carvalho, 1997.

≡ Celastrus wallichianus Sprengel (1828: 150)
≡ Maytenus wallichiana (Sprengel) D.C.S. Raju & Babu (1969: 349)
Lectotype (designated here):— INDIA, Madras Presidency, Travancore, Wallich Cat. no. 4304D (K, K001038668); isolectotype: [K, K000669816].
Notes: Celastrus rigida [rigidus] Wallich (in Roxburgh 1824: 396), was a later homonym of C. rigidus Thunberg (1818: 124). Sprengel (1828), thus provided a replacement name to the former as C. wallichianus Sprengel. The plant was introduced into the Honorary Company’s botanic garden by Dr. A. Berry in 1811 and was brought from Travancore. Along with this, Wallich also mentions seeing a specimen at Heyne’s Herbarium determined up to the genus level. However, it’s quite evident from the Wallich Catalogue [page. 60] that he received the specimens from peninsular India including Heyne’s collection in the year 1829. This means when Wallich described Celastrus rigidus he would not have had the Heyne’s specimen with him [pers. comm. Dr. Mark Watson, RBGE, UK]. Hence, the HBC [Hortus Botanicus Calcuttensis] specimens could be the original material for typification.
We were able to locate original material of Gymnosporia wallichiana in K (K000669816 & K001038668). Both are regarded here as syntypes. The specimen K000669816 is just a fragment with few leaves and flowers along with two other gatherings [4304B and 4304C]. Another sheet (K001038668) contains three well-preserved flowering twigs from HBC gathering and is selected here as lectotype.

Litoria serrata

description: Litoria serrata (Andersson, 1916)
was described on the basis of six specimens from Atherton, Carrington and Malanda in north Queensland, Australia. However the name has been synonymised variously with L. eucnemis Lonnberg, 1900 and L. genimaculata Horst, 1883, both from the New Guinea region. Currently L. serrata is considered a synonym of L. eucnemis by Frost (2009) despite evidence presented by Richards et al. (1993) that L. serrata is a junior subjective synonym of L. genimaculata and is quite distinct from L. eucnemis. This confusion reflects the morphological similarity of different populations of these moderately large treefrogs (males 30–50 mm SVL), and lack of access to molecular genetic and call data from type localities. Richards et al. (1993) demonstrated that two morphologically similar forms in the Litoria eucnemis species-group occur in Australia and argued, based on calls, that the Australian population described as L. serrata should be referred to the New Guinean species L. genimaculata. They also demonstrated that Litoria eucnemis occurs in small, isolated populations on the Cape York Peninsula of northern Queensland Australia, where it is widely allopatric to populations of L. genimaculata.
Recent collections in western New Guinea that included tissues suitable for molecular genetic analysis, and re-examination of type material described from New Guinea, have permitted a reassessment of the status of the Australian treefrog described as Litoria serrata.
Six names are available for New Guinean treefrogs of the L. eucnemis species-group that have large digital discs, dermal folds on the arms and legs, and males without vocal sacs. They are treated in order of publication, and evidence is provided subsequently that L. serrata is a species distinct from all of these congeners. The name L. serrata is herein resurrected from the synonymy L. genimaculata.

description: Purpose: This study is part of a larger study that explores the beliefs and attitudes of Haitian parents in the United States regarding heritage language maintenance. The study sought to understand Haitian parents’ perspective of heritage language maintenance when the parent has a child with a communication disorder.Method: Semistructured interviews were conducted with seven Haitian parents of children who have or had a speech-language disorder. The interviews were conducted virtually through videoconferencing. A thematic analysis was used to explore the data and determine recurring themes.Results: Participants desired to preserve the heritage language; however, fear of further language delay and sociolinguistic factors influenced their language choice. Furthermore, the results revealed that the lack of Haitian Creole language maintenance led to a communication breakdown with family and parental regret on the missed opportunity to pass on the heritage language.Conclusion: The findings from this study demonstrate a need for continued education with physicians, SLPs, and other related service providers on the issues related to bilingual language development, language maintenance, and counseling families regarding home language practice.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Review of Polietina species’ identity in GenBank
Analyses with COI nucleotide sequences available in GenBank for Polietina species estimated that some species were not reciprocally monophyletic (Figure 10). This led us to suspect that some vouchers associated to GenBank sequences were misidentified. The morphological re-examination of the vouchers confirmed the problem (Table 2). Though most identifications were correct, one of the vouchers of Polietina prima was actually P. orbitalis, and vouchers from Polietina steini and one from P. orbitalis were actually Cyrtoneuropsis species. The Bayesian inference carried out here estimated sequences from these vouchers in the same lineage as the other Polietina species with 100% posterior probability. In light of this evidence, we think the sequences are actually from Polietina species, but the vouchers were wrongly assigned (e.g., wrong labeling or mixed samples). Furthermore, the voucher from sequence AJ879599, identified here as Cyrtoneuropsis sp., is in a clade within other Polietina orbitalis specimens. Therefore, we believe the sequence was actually from P. orbitalis, as indicated in the GenBank record. The analysis of COI sequences also indicated that Polietina nigra was paraphyletic, because it included P. prima. This result reinforced the morphological evidence to the synonym proposed here. After this reassignment of the vouchers’ identity, all Polietina species with more than a single sequence were estimated as reciprocally monophyletic.

(Figs. 1, 3)
Material examined. CHINA, Hainan Province: 1 ♂, Yajia, Mt. Bawang, Changjiang County, 245 m, 8.v.2013, leg. Yinghui Sun, Wei Guan and Tengteng Liu, genitalia slide no. YMQ13097.
Adult (Fig. 1). Wingspan 9.0 mm. Head grayish brown, with some grayish white scales. Labial palpus with second segment brown on outer surface, covered with black scales, grayish white distally, inner surface grayish white, ventral surface of second segment with triangular scale tuft; third segment longer than second, grayish white, with brown strips at base, 1/3 and 2/3, apex brown. Antenna alternately gray and brown. Thorax and tegula grayish brown, mixed with black and grayish white scales. Forewing long and narrow, with costal and posterior margins nearly parallel; ground colour yellowish brown, sprinkled with black scales, brown at base, small black scale tuft near base; costal margin with scale tufts at 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 respectively, first one largest, third one smallest, yellowish brown on inside, outside black; black dash oblique to outside between second and third scale tuft, black blotch near apex of second; wide black band at 1/3 extending from posterior margin to costal margin, large irregular black blotch at 2/3 near posterior margin; cilia gray. Hindwing and cilia gray. Legs grayish white, densely with black scales on outer surface, hind tibia covered with pale yellow hairs dorsally.
Male genitalia (Fig. 3). Uncus corona-shaped, posterior margin convex at middle, laterally with two strong spines and some setae. Gnathos slender, bent at middle, hooked, expanded distally. Tegumen long, anterior margin deeply concaved. Valva long and narrow, gently S-shaped, slightly expended distally. Valvella slender, 1/3 length of valva, excurved at 2/3. Vinculum with posterior margin M-shaped at middle. Saccus wide at basal half, distal 3/ 5 slender, apex rounded. Aedeagus inflated in basal 1/4, bent at basal 1/4, distal 3/4 straight, apex blunt.
Remarks. This species closely resembles Bagdadia paroctas (Meyrick) in male genitalia, but can be separated from the latter by following characters: gnathos expanded distally, valva only gently curved once in basal half, valvella about 1/3 length of valva and excurved at 2/3. In B. paroctas, gnathos pointed distally, valva curved twice in basal half, valvella inconspicuous. The obvious differences should exclude the possibility of species variation, and suggest that this is a distinct species in the genus Bagdadia. But we refrain from formally naming it for just a single specimen.
Host plant. Unknown.
Distribution. China (Hainan).

Holotype: ZMA 5679, according to Van Tuijl (1995). Type locality: Lorentz River, Papua Province, Indonesia.
This name is currently synonymised with L. genimaculata. However re-examination of the holotype, and collection of fresh material in the vicinity of the type locality, indicate that this species is distinct from L. genimaculata and that the name L. papua should be resurrected from its synonymy. The Lorentz River population is clearly distinguished from L. genimaculata by its much smaller size, adult males 30.1–33.6 mm SVL (n = 8, holotype = 30.5 mm). A re-description of this species is in preparation but, here, we refrain from resurrecting the name because it is currently preoccupied by Nyctimystes [= Litoria] papua (Boulenger), due to the synonymy of Nyctimystes within Litoria (Frost et al. 2006).

Holotype: MCZ 27823. Type locality: near Taburi, a native village about 2 miles southeast of Rouna Fall, Papua New Guinea.
This species is currently incorrectly synonymised with L. genimaculata. Adult males are much larger than L. genimaculata (SVL 39.5–47.5; holotype 41.1 mm, SJR pers. obs.), and the original description mentions a triangular heel lappet that is present only in L. eucnemis (Figure 4H). Furthermore, the original description (Neill 1954) notes that the call is a ‘series of five or six raucous notes, like laughter’ which could describe the quite loud series of ‘waah, waah’ growls produced by eucnemis but not the soft ‘ticking’ notes produced by L. genimaculata. We here remove N. loveridgei from the synonymy of L. genimaculata and place it in the synonymy of L. eucnemis.

description: Litoria exophthalmia Tyler, Davies and Aplin, 1986.
Holotype: AMS R114751. Type locality: Haia village (6° 42' S, 145° 00' E), South Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea.
In their original description of this species the author’s remarked that it is ‘morphologically so distinctive that it is regarded the unique representative of a separate species-group’, and this impression was supported by Menzies (2006) who did not associate this species with any currently recognised species-group of New Guinean Litoria. We have examined the type material and compared it with numerous specimens of the Litoria genimaculata from across New Guinea and find them to be morphologically nearly indistinguishable. The sole character that appears to distinguish preserved specimens of L. exophthalmia from L. genimaculata is its less welldeveloped dermal folds. Molecular genetic data support the distinctiveness of this taxon (Donnellan et al. unpublished) but both morphological and genetic information indicate close relationships with L. genimaculata and thus this species does not warrant treatment as a separate species-group (Figure 4B).

Diagnosis. Among Lebinthini genera, Lebinthus is closely related to Agnotecous Saussure, 1878, to which it resembles by microptery and FW venation. It is characterized by its rather smaller size, microptery in both sexes (FW short and hind wings absent), and male FW venation with mirror almost not differentiated from apical field, dorsal field as long or longer than lateral field (it is shorter in Agnotecous), median fold short, triangular and located on dorsum.
