Elachista lata

description: Elachista lata, new species
(Figs. 1, 3, 22–31)
Type material. Holotype: ɗ, ‘ Ecuador | Tungurahua Province | Banos env[irons]., 10.ii.2007 | V. Sruoga leg [it].; ɗ | VS311 | Genitalia slide’. In VPU.
Diagnosis. Elachista lata is similar to some of the species of the E. praelineata species group sensu Kaila (1999a, 1999b) and Sugisima (2005a) but mostly to E. kurokoi Parenti, 1983 known from Japan (for illustrations, see Parenti 1983 and Sugisima 2005a), E. guilinella Kaila, 1999 and E. miriella Kaila, 1999 from USA (for illustrations, see Kaila 1999b). However, E. lata can be distinguished most easily by the wide spinose knob of gnathos and the very short digitate process.
Male (Figs. 22, 23). Forewing length 3.2 mm; wingspan 7.1 mm (n=1). Head: Frons, vertex and neck tuft blackish brown; labial palpus 1.4 times as long as width of head, whitish above, blackish brown below; antenna blackish brown. Thorax and tegula blackish brown. Forewing: ground colour blackish brown, weakly mottled by darker tipped scales; transverse fascia antemedian, white, medially interrupted, indistinct near dorsal margin of wing; white spot at 2/3 of costa, another smaller spot before it on dorsal margin; fringe scales blackish brown. Hindwing blackish brown, its fringe slightly paler.
Female. Unknown.
Male genitalia (Figs. 24–31). Uncus lobes slightly longer than wide, broadest medially, tapered distally, setae on ventral surface dense and short, scale-like near apex, becoming longer and thinner towards base. Socius with a few tiny setae. Spinose knob of gnathos large and oval. Valva long and narrow, about five times as long as wide; basal fold of costa extended to 1/2 of valva, beyond it with weak and broad hump; cucullus very long, slightly bent towards costa. Juxta lobes roundly produced laterally, ventral surface with setae distally. Digitate process reduced to small, bluntly triangular lobe, without setae. Vinculum V-shaped, with strong median ridge, saccus long and narrow. Phallus about 4/5 as long as valva, slightly bent at 2/5 from caecum, broad basally, gradually tapered towards apex; ventral apex strongly sclerotized, straight and pointed, dorsal apex less sclerotized, rounded; vesica with group of sclerotized spines.
Biology. Unknown.
Flight period. Based upon the single specimen available, adults fly in February.
Distribution. So far this species is known only from Tungurahua Province of Ecuador (Figs. 1, 3).
Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin latus (broad, wide, extensive) in reference to the wide gnathos.

description: Mesembrina Meigen, 1826
Mesembrina Meigen, 1826: 10. Type species: Musca meridiana Linnaeus, 1758.
Diagnosis. Colouration metallic black; gena and parafacial with dense golden pruinosity; body with dense ground setulosity; basal third of wing and calypters notably yellow (or blackish in M. nigribasis from Costa Rica). Vibrissa developed, although sometimes confused with the developed subvibrissals. Female with proclinate fronto-orbital seta; parafrons densely setulose along its whole length; interfrontal seta absent; frontal vitta densely setulose on upper half or along its whole length. Presutural acrostichals developed or not; 3 postsutural setae. Dorsocentrals 1-3+4-5 (0+ 2 in M. nigribasis). Postsutural intra-alars 2; intrapostalar absent. Notopleurals 2-3 (usually 2 notopleurals but some species with an additional seta posteriorly). Prosternum bare. Anterior katepisternal absent or present. Meron and katepimeron bare. Posterior spiracle bare on posterior margin. Suprasquamal ridge bare. Scutellum half-moon shaped. Wing with the veins bare; costal vein setulose ventrally until Sc; Rs node and R4+5 bare dorsally and ventrally; M bent forward towards R4+5. Lower calypter enlarged posteriorly, extending under base of scutellum. Subcostal sclerite bare. Mid tibia with an anterodorsal submedian seta. Calcar strong.
Comments. Recently, M. nigribasis Kuchta & Savage was described from Costa Rica (referred to as Mesembrina sp. 1 in the cladistic analysis of Nihei and de Carvalho 2007 a). The Holarctic Region was probably the ancestral area of this genus, and the Neotropical and Oriental occurrences are due to subsequent expansion of distribution range followed by local speciations.
Distribution (13 species). Nearctic, Neotropical, Oriental, Palaearctic.

Leeuwenia diospyri

description: Leeuwenia diospyri Mound, 2004
This species was described from a series of both sexes taken in curled leaf galls on Diospyros pentamera [Ebenaceae] in coastal rain forest at Taree, New South Wales. However, it was found subsequently in similar leaf-roll galls on the same plant species at Lamington in southeast Queensland. It is unusual amongst members of the genus in having the tube rather short, scarcely six times as long as the basal width.

description: The research is devoted to the modern process of modernizing the methodological system of teaching foreign languages in higher educational institutions. Modern students have significantly high demands on the methods and techniques of teaching a foreign language within the framework of higher education. The development of business communication skills in English is dictated by the requirements of modern society. The Purpose of the study: to develop a system of exercises using gamification elements to develop oral business communication skills among students of economics. The research hypothesis is as follows: if gamification elements are used in the process of developing oral business communication skills, they will contribute to the development of studentsâ individual characteristics, increasing motivation to learn, expanding the scope of foreign language communication, and increasing the level of studentsâ oral communication skills. Based on the purpose of the study, object and subject, the following tasks were set: - to study the specifics of teaching business foreign languages in higher education; - to consider the typology of intercultural business communication skills; - to study the content of the gamification method; - to consider the classification of gamification elements in teaching foreign languages; - to develop and test the effectiveness of using a system of exercises with elements of the gamification method to develop oral business communication skills.

description: Elachista species VS307
(Figs. 1, 3, 32–34, 37 –40)
Material examined: 1Ψ, Ecuador, Tungurahua Province, Banos env., 10.ii.2007, V. Sruoga leg. Genitalia slide VS307. In VPU.
Diagnosis. Elachista species VS307 belongs to the E. praelineata species group. In wing pattern and female genitalia, this species is comparable to E. praelineata Braun, 1915 and E. radiantella Braun, 1922, known from the USA (for illustrations, see Braun 1948 and Kaila 1999b). However, E. species VS307 is distinguishable from these two species mainly by the presence of a signum on the corpus bursae.
Female. (Figs. 32–34). Forewing length 3.2 mm; wingspan 7.1 mm (n=1). Head: Frons and vertex whitish grey; neck tuft brownish grey; labial palpus 1.6 times as long as width of head, whitish, third segment brownish grey; antenna brownish grey, basal articles weakly annulated with paler rings. Thorax and tegula grey-brown. Forewing: ground colour grey-brown, basal 1/3 somewhat paler than other parts; base of wing with white spot that expands towards dorsal margin; white transverse fascia from costa to dorsal margin before middle; triangular white spot at 4/5 of costa, with another similar spot just before it in dorsal margin; fringe scales brownish grey with few white scales along apex. Hindwing brownish grey, its fringe scales somewhat paler. Abdomen above grey-brown, whitish below; tergum 7 with very large and dense, brownish grey tuft of hair-like scales (Fig. 34).
Male. Unknown.
Female genitalia (Figs. 37–40). Papillae anales short, triangular, with short but dense setae. Apophyses posteriores slightly longer than apophyses anteriores. Tergite seven reniform, only slightly emarginated apically, 1.5 times wider than long. Ostium bursae situated in intersegmental membrane between sternite seven and eight, rounded, about 1/2 of the distance between apophyses anteriores, with dorsal wall spinose. Antrum cup-shaped, weakly sclerotized, abruptly tapered towards strongly sclerotized and very short colliculum. Ductus bursae and corpus bursae without internal spines; signum small, angulate, narrow, forming dentate plate.
Biology. Unknown.
Flight period. Based upon the single specimen available, adults fly in February.
Distribution. So far this species is known only from Tungurahua Province of Ecuador (Figs. 1, 3).
Remarks. This species is known from a single female specimen, and another species, E. lata, is described from the same locality based on a single male. These species belong to the same species group, and may be conspecific. Therefore, this taxon is documented, but not named pending the availability of additional male material.

Morellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 405. Type species: Morellia agilis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Musca hortorum Fallén, 1817].
Diagnosis. Colouration metallic bluish-black to violaceous; wing with or without maculae. Female with proclinate fronto-orbital developed or not; interfrontal seta absent. Prosternum setulose or bare. Wing with Rs node setulose dorsally and ventrally; R4+5 usually setulose dorsally (bare in the subgenus Xenomorellia); vein M bent forward towards R4+5 (Fig. 11). Subcostal sclerite bare (setulose ventrally in subgenus Xenomorellia).
Lower calypter enlarged posteriorly (extending under base of scutellum) or glossiform. Calcar varying from weak to strong.
Comments. Morellia was redefined by Nihei and de Carvalho (2007a) and now includes the Neotropical Parapyrellia, Trichomorellia and Xenomorellia as subgenera, as well as Morellia s.s.; and three species were transferred to Ziminellia.
Distribution (65 species). Afrotropical, Nearctic, Neotropical, Oriental and Palaearctic.

description: Subgenus Morellia s.s.
Morellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 405 (as genus). Type species: Morellia agilis Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [= Musca hortorum Fallén, 1817].
Diagnosis. Colouration metallic bluish-black to violaceous; wing without maculae, but with maculae in several Neotropical species. Female with proclinate fronto-orbital usually developed; parafrons setulose on upper half; interfrontal seta absent. Postsutural intra-alars 1; intrapostalar present. Prosternum setulose or bare. Katepisternals 1+2. Wing with the basal portion of stem-vein setulose ventrally (bare in basalis -group); R4+5 setulose dorsally and ventrally; M bent forward towards R4+5 (Fig. 11). Lower calypter enlarged posteriorly, extending under base of scutellum. Subcostal sclerite bare. Male mid femur of some species with a dorsal preapical protuberance bearing a dense set of setulae (Fig. 18). Calcar weak or strong.
Comments. The monophyly of Morellia s.s. was not supported by Nihei and de Carvalho (2007a). A comprehensive phylogenetic study of Morellia s.l. is required to clarify the composition of Morellia s.s., as well as its relationship with other subgenera.
Note on basalis -group: This species-group was indicated as monophyletic by Nihei and de Carvalho (2007a) and is composed so far of two Neotropical species, namely, M. basalis (Walker) and M. paulistensis Pamplona & Mendes.

Diagnosis. Agriothera elaeocarpophaga is characterized by the absence of white mark on apical prominence of forewing (Fig. 1). In the male genitalia (Fig. 7), the broad median band formed by gnathal arms, the extremely narrowed and lengthened valva with a spine on distal margin, the U-shaped aedeagus. Agriothera elaeocarpophaga can be easily distinguished from its allies by above-mentioned characters.
Distribution. China (Guangxi, Hainan, Taiwan, Yunnan), Japan, India (Moriuti 1978, 1982).
Remarks. This species is recorded from mainland China for the first time.

(Fig. 16)
Male. Length 9.5 mm. Color: yellowish-brown; antennomeres III–XI apically darkened, apex of tibia, and tarsi darkened. Sculpture: head, pronotum and elytra with small, extremely dense punctures. Antenna short, reaching mid-point of body, all antennomeres elongate, relative length of antennomeres II–XI about 1.0: 1.6: 2.0: 1.9: 1.8: 1.8: 1.6: 1.7: 1.6: 2.0. Pronotum widest at apical 1/3, gradually narrowed towards base; pronotal disc with a pair of circular depressions, with shallow depression medially, and transverse depression along hind margin laterally; hind margin slightly medially and laterally concave. Prosternal process reduced to a sharp keel between coxae, parallel-sided from base to apex; procoxal cavities almost closed, long thin hypomeral lobes almost reaching apex of posternal process. Elytra elongate, about 1.6X longer than wide, dorsally flat. Apex of last ventrite with a deep concave excision. Penis extremely wide and weakly curved in lateral view, with abruptly constricted straight tip (Fig. 16 a), in dorsal view apex wide, slightly mucronate, extremely asymmetric; gonopore directed laterally (Fig. 16 b). Apex of endophallic sclerite curved, with dense short teeth on apical margin (Fig. 16 b).
Diagnosis. Menippus nepalensi s sp. nov. is similar to M. gressitti sp. nov. with the asymmetric penis and the toothed apex of the endophallic sclerite (Figs 12 b, 16b) but differs with relatively wider penis in lateral view (Fig. 16 a) compared to the latter (Fig. 12 a).

Described originally from two females taken in a leaf gall on Polyosma cunninghamii [Grossulariaceae] near Brisbane, Queensland, this thrips was found subsequently on the same plant species in rainforests at Lamington near the border with New South Wales. Some of the galls were a remarkable blue colour (Fig. 6), and the species is unusual within the genus in having a fore tarsal tooth, in both sexes.

Distribution. Cuba (Busck 1934), USA: Florida (Hall 1983) and Louisiana (White et al. 2007), and Ecuador (new record). According to Heppner (2002) this species is likely to also occur in Mexico.
Remarks. Previously the only known host plant of Elachista saccharella was sugarcane (Saccharum) (Busck 1934; White et al. 2007). We found larvae mining the leaves of unidentified Poaceae grasses (most probably of the genus Muhlenbergia (Figs. 45, 46) growing on a roadside at an altitude of about 1800 m (Fig. 4). The larva makes a full-depth, straight, linear mine, which extends towards the leaf tip, about 10–13 cm long. It pupates in a flimsy cocoon (Figs. 47, 48) on the underside of a leaf. The cocoon varies in density and orientation of silk filaments covering the pupa. The pupa is highly modified, with lateral ridges produced into short or long curved acute spines (Figs. 49, 50).
