Keilbachia

description: Keilbachia sp. 3
Material studied. 1 male, N. E. Burma (Myanmar), Kambaiti, 7000 ft., 17.4.1935, R. Malaise (in NRMS).
Discussion. The specimen is so pale after KOH treatment that it cannot be studied in detail. The gonostylus has three long curved megasetae arising from a common basal body, no other megasetae and a rather small apical tooth. The tegmen is similar to K. foveolata, Fig. 8 C, but there is a large long-microtrichose field apicolaterally. We leave the species undescribed until better specimens are found.

(Figs. 109, 110, 111, 113)
Hypotelus micans Sharp, 1876: 409 (original description, type locality: “Ega”); Bernhauer & Schubert, 1910: 9 (catalog); Herman, 2001: 1785 (distribution).
Type material. Examined by photograph. Holotype deposited in BMNH, sex undetermined. The holotype is framed on cardboard with transparent cover and handwritten: “ Hypotelus / micans / Amazonas./ Type / D.S. ”; and bears the follows labels: (1) “ Type ” [white and red label, printed in black]; (2) “ Ega ” [green label, handwritten]; (3) “ S.America:/ Brazil.” [old white label, printed in black]; (4) “ Sharp Coll /1905–313.” [old white label, printed in black]; (5) “ Holotype / Hypotelus / micans Sharp, 1876 /det. R.G. Booth 2016” [white label, handwritten, last line printed in black]; (6) “ NHMUK 010582765 ” [white label, printed in black]. Figs. 109–111, images by Keita Matsumoto, copyright Natural History Museum, London.
Note: In the original description Sharp (1876) specified "a single individual". Geographical records. Brazil (Amazonas) (Fig. 113).
Biological notes. No data.
Remarks. Sharp described the specimen as having the antennae with “3rd joint much shorter than 2nd”. We examined the type material only via photographs and it was not possible to confirm that diagnostic character. By the photos, the type material is very similar to H. pusillus, and since the type of H. micans is not dissected it was not possible to determine whether this name is a synonym or not. So, we prefer to maintain H. micans as valid species waiting further studies.

description: PSYCHIDAE Boisduval, 1829, p 44.
Type genus: Psyche Schrank, 1801.
Psychidae exhibits different evolutionary directions between males and females as small or medium-sized moths (Holloway et al. 1987).
The head in the psychids is clothed with rough scales only in primitive genera such as Ceratosticha, Diplodoma and Taleporia, while in many of more specialised genera such as Eumeta it is clothed with more or less appressed scales (Saigusa 1961; Sugimoto and Saigusa 2004). The adult female’ s wings are reduced to brachypterous (micropterous) or are completely obsolete, while adult males have well-developed wings. The mouthparts of the males are in a series of reduction; some genera have all elements of Ditrysian mouthparts including galea (proboscis) and maxillary palpi, while in other genera such as Eumeta the mouthparts consist of only a small tubercle representing the labium. Female adults have vestigial mouthparts. The forewing of male psychids has or has not either the discal cell or the intercalary cell. Also, the vein CuP of the forewing is free from any veins, fused with either vein A1+A2 or CuA2. The antennal scape has a long scaled fringe termed a pectin. The posterior area of the female’ s seventh abdominal segment has a corethrogyne consisting of scales or hairs. In addition, the tegumen and uncus of the male genitalia are fused with each other, and the posterior margin of the dorsum (part of uncus) is represented either by a pair of hooks or ended in a rounded margin without hooks. Also, the males are characterised by the absence of gnathos and juxta and the presence of a transitellar arm from the basal part of the costa of valva (Kozhantshikov 1956; Saigusa 1961; Sugimoto and Saigusa 2004).
The zoogeographical distribution has been verified for Psychidae fauna: 514 species in the Palaearctic region (37%); 309 species in the Afrotropical region (22%); 26 species in the Nearctic region (2%); 81 species in the Neotropical region (6%); 229 species in the Oriental region (16%) (Sobczyk 2011). Thus, most of the species are distributed in the Palaearctic and Afrotropical regions.

Hemicallidium Casey, 1912: 273 Anacomis Leng, 1920: 275
Diagnosis. Members of this genus can be separated from other genera of the Callidiini by the following combination of characters: body moderately broad, convex to slightly flattened; antennae 11-segmented and varying from reaching about the middle of the elytra to surpassing elytral apex; antennomeres 3–10 apically widened with antennomeres 6–11 moderately flattened in cross section; pronotum usually wider than long, narrowed to pedunculate at base, laterally rounded to angulate, disk with dorsal callosities that are separated into 3 to 5 more or less distinct calli or fused in various configurations; prosternal process wide and expanded behind procoxae; femora slightly clavate; tarsal claws simple; apex of aedeagus divided into a flat plate-like dorsal lobe that is apically rounded and ventral lobe that is pointed to slightly aciculate; tegmen bilobed.
Hosts. Juniperus spp. (junipers), Sequoia spp. (redwoods), Libocedrus sp. (incense-cedar), Pseudotsuga sp. (Douglas-fir), Cupressus spp. (cypress), Thuja spp. (cedar), Picea spp. (spruces), Pinus spp. (pines), Abies spp. (firs).
Flower and Associated Vegetation Records. Chaemaecyparis sp. (cedar)
Distribution. Transcontinental in North America, from Alaska south to Texas; southern Mexico southeast through Guatemala and Honduras; in the Palaearctic from Algeria and Morocco, throughout Asia including the middle east, China, Japan, and Nepal, from most of continental Europe and the Scandinavian countries.
Remarks. This diverse genus is superficially similar to many genera within the Callidiini including Xylocrius, Hylotrupes, Callidium, Ropalopus, and Pyrrhidium in that they share a similar habitus and have a pronotum that is variously sculptured. They differ from these species in that the front coxae are divided by a narrow prosternal process, tarsal claws are simple, the femora only slightly clavate and apical antennomeres dorso-ventrally flattened.

(Figs 4A, 7 A, 8, 16A; Map 1)
Physocnemum amethystimum LeConte, 1853: 234
Material examined. 131 males, 159 females.
Holotype. Female (MCZ), examined; labelled “ S. amethystinus /(Lec.)// Type /3829 [Red label]”.
Diagnosis. This species can be separated from other species of Semanotus by the following combination of characters: head, thorax and abdomen black, elytra metallic dark blue to purple; pronotum goblet shaped, broadly round laterally, with basal stalk forming a short pedicel between pronotum and elytra; antennae short, usually ≤1/2 elytra length in both sexes; antennomeres 1, 3–5 long and narrow,> 2X as long as wide, especially in male; elytra minutely punctate, slightly rugulose near base; wing vein r3 very short; wing vein RP very short or obsolete; tibia with long, erect setae (“flying hairs”) greatly reduced in males, absent in females; basal apophysis of abdominal sternum VIII long, longer than the length of one lateral sclerite; basal apophysis of spiculum ventrale short, ~ 2X length of lateral apophysis; ventral lobe of aedeagus apically sinuate and pointed, dorsal lobe of aedeagus narrowly rounded.
Hosts. Libocedrus decurrens Torr. (incense-cedar), Thuja plicata Donn (western redcedar).
Flower and Associated Vegetation Records. Chaemaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murr.) Parl. (Port Orford cedar), Pinus sp. (pine), Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco (Douglas-fir).
Distribution. Primarily a west coast species, from Washington to southern California, with a few records from high elevation localities in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado.
Remarks. This species seems to get transported around in lumber, as there is a record from Alaska emerging from pine 2 x2 ’s, and a record from New York emerging from cedar wood, however, there is no evidence that suggests that this species is established in these areas.

description: Semanotus juniperi (Fisher, 1915)
(Fig 7 B, 16B; Map 2)
Hylotrupes juniperi Fisher, 1915: 77
Material examined. 37 males, 44 females.
Holotype. Male (USNM), examined; labelled “SantaCata/lina Mts/Ariz// Dec. 1/14 //Edmonston/WDColr// Juniperus /pachyphloca//12698/Hopk. U.S. //3// Hylotrupes / juniperi /Fisher/W.S.F.// Type /No.19129/ U.S. N.M. [Red label]”.
Diagnosis. This species can be separated from other species of Semanotus by the following combination of characters: color black; pronotum broadly round, with basal stalk forming a short pedicel between pronotum and elytra; antennae long, usually>1/2 elytra length in male, ≥1/2 elytral length in female; antennomeres 1, 3–5 short and stout, ~ 2X as long as wide, especially in male; elytra minutely punctate, moderately rugulose near base; wing vein r3 long; wing vein RP long; tibia with long, erect setae (“flying hairs”) greatly reduced in males, absent in females; basal apophysis of abdominal sternum VIII short, about the length of one lateral sclerite; basal apophysis of spiculum ventrale long, ~2.5X length of lateral apophysis; ventral lobe of aedeagus apically broadly rounded and evenly constricted, dorsal lobe of aedeagus broadly rounded.
Hosts. Juniperus osteosperma (=utahensis) (Torr.) Little (Utah juniper), J. deppeana (=pachyphloea) Steud. (alligator juniper).
Flower and Associated Vegetation Records. Thuja sp. (cedar).
Distribution. High elevation or arid areas of California, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Remarks. This species is structurally similar to S. amethystinus; however, we noted several minor differences in wing venation and genitalia. This species also appears to breed in junipers rather than in cedars.

This species can be separated from other species of Semanotus by the following combination of characters: color dark brown to black, rarely with antennomeres 4–11 light brown; elytra ranging from completely dark to having 2 pairs of pale yellow transversely oval spots or wide bands; mandible with large median tooth; elytra with one or multiple rows of dense medium to long, semi-erect to erect, golden setae, extending along suture from base to very near apex; labrum rectangular, short and wide; fore legs relatively short, femur equal in length to tibia; protibia, especially in males, distinctly triangular in lateral view; pro- and mesotibial apices expanded, somewhat globular, with dense brush of long setae that often obscures tibial spurs, especially in females; elytra short and wide; antennae long, usually as long or longer than length of elytra; apical antennomeres 8–11 long and narrow in males; male genitalia with tegmen apophyses cylindrical and somewhat flattened, basal ring is often broadly joined, emarginate or widely separated.
Hosts. Abies concolor (Gord. & Glend.) Lindl. (white fir), A. grandis (Dougl.) Lindl. (grand fir), Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas-fir).
Flower and Associated Vegetation Records. Pinus sp. (pine), Picea sp. (spruce).
Distribution. Pacific coast, from British Columbia to southern California.
Remarks. The type specimen of this species has been damaged by dermestids (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) and most of the abdomen is missing, however, the specimen is still distinguishable as a male by its antennae and profemora. This species tends to be overall larger, the elytra tend to be shorter and stouter, the antennae longer, and the front and middle tibia of different shape than the following species. This is strictly a western species and is found only west of the Rocky Mountains.

Anocomis lignea parvicollis Casey, 1912: 272
Material examined. 401 males, 380 females, 121 sex undetermined.
Holotype. Male (ZMUC), examined; labelled “// ZMUC 00022367”.
Diagnosis. This species can be separated from other species of Semanotus by the following combination of characters: color dark brown to black; elytra pale yellow except for black maculation in the form of one pair of medium sized spots and apical 1/3 of elytra, rarely with spots enlarged basally to form an oblong ‘tongue-like’ longitudinal band; mandible without median tooth; elytral punctation and pubescence distinct: pale setae restricted to pale areas where the punctation is larger and more widely separated, and dark setae restricted to dark areas where the punctation is smaller, and almost contiguous (in the rare case when the basal area of the elytra is dark, the pubescence remains pale), pubescence semi-erect to decumbent; elytra with erect setae along suture usually only in basal ½; ventral pubescence white to grey, semi-erect to decumbent, fine, sparse, surface of ventrites not obscured.
Hosts. Thuja occidentalis L. (eastern white cedar), Cupressus sp., Juniperus sp.
Flower and Associated Vegetation Records. Pinus sp., Juniperus sp.
Distribution. Eastern Canada and USA, south to Oklahoma and eastern Texas.
Remarks. The current definition of S. ligneus as treated here is much more limited than the species concept of previous authors, as a number of subspecies have been removed from synonymy and have been given species status. The holotype of Anocomis lignea parvicollis is a smaller specimen of S. ligneus; it has yellow setae in the pale areas of the elytra and the elytra pale yellow which is typical of S. ligneus.

Holotype. Male (USNM), examined; labelled “Cal.// CASEY /bequest/1925// TYPE USNM /35913 (Red label)// ampla /Casey [Hand written]”.
Diagnosis. This species can be separated from other species of Semanotus by the following combination of characters: antennae relatively long (3: usually reaching to at least ¾ elytra, often attaining or surpassing apex; Ƥ: usually reaching to at least mid-elytra), elytra ranging from completely black, completely orange, to various combinations of maculation, as either a median spot and dark apex or with base light and apical ½ dark; pubescence of elytra dark brown to black, decumbent; femoral club strongly globose clavate (3) to moderately clavate (Ƥ).
Hosts. Thuja plicata (western red cedar), Libocedrus decurrens (incense-cedar), Juniperus sp., Sequoia sempervirens (D. Don) Endl. (redwood).
Flower and Associated Vegetation Records. Pinus sp., Pseudotsuga sp., Chaemycparis nootkatensis (yellow cedar), Abies sp.
Distribution. West of the continental divide, from northern British Columbia to southern California.
Remarks. Phenotypically this species is highly variable across its range, and depends partly on host. Specimens reared from Libocedrus sp. tend to have a dark orange ground colour. Specimens reared from Cupressus sp. or Sequoia sp. tend to have a red ground colour. A series reared from Juniperus occidentalis near Redmond Oregon are small (<9mm), have yellow elytral ground colour and brown legs and antennae, but retain the dark pubescence typical for S. amplus.

Anocomis ampla obliviosa Casey, 1924: 237 Anocomis ampla terracensis Casey, 1924: 237
Material examined. 294 males, 253 females, 88 sex undetermined.
Diagnosis. This subspecies can be separated from other subspecies of S. amplus by the following combination of characters: head, pronotum, and abdomen dark brown to black; antennal scape light to dark brown, usually contrasting with remaining antennomeres which are light brown to orange; femur dark brown and contrasting with tibia and tarsomeres which are light brown to orange; elytra light to dark orange, rarely red, with small to medium round to ovoid median black spot, 1/3 of apex black; elytral disk pubescence unicolour black, somewhat decumbent; ventral body and leg pubescence white to grey, moderately dense and long, usually not dense enough to obscure surface; elytral base and humeral angle orange, humeral angle short, usually less than ¼ of elytra making the elytra appear flat and wide.
Hosts. Libocedrus decurrens (incense-cedar), Thuja plicata (western redcedar), Juniperus occidentalis (western juniper), J. scopulorum (Rocky Mountain juniper), Sequoia sp.
Flower and Associated Vegetation Records. Pinus sp., Chaemycparis nootkatensis (yellow cedar), Abies sp. Distribution. Southern California north to central British Columbia, Pacific Coast east to continental divide. Remarks. There seems to be a color cline in this subspecies, with southern populations tending to be lighter orange and northern populations becoming dark orange to almost red. Also, specimens from Libocedrus and Thuja tend to be dark orange with dark grey highlights, whereas, specimens from Juniper tend to be a lighter orange. In California this species may be bivoltine, as there appears to be two distinct adult activity periods, one from March to early May, and another from late August through to mid-September.

Semanotus ligneus sequoiae Van Dyke, 1923
Material examined. 91 males, 118 females.
Diagnosis. This subspecies can be separated from other subspecies of S. amplus by the following combination of characters: elytral disk usually distinctly bicolored with basal 1/3 light brown to red and apical 2/3 dark brown to black; elytral humeral angles usually light brown but occasionally markedly darkened similarly to S. a. basalis; antennae are dark brown to black.
Hosts. Sequoia sempervirens (redwood).
Flower and Associated Vegetation Records. Libocedrus decurrens (incense-cedar).
Distribution. California. One population located near Falls Church, Virginia (see Remarks).
Remarks. This subspecies tends to be the most characteristic form among subspecies of S. amplus. The coloration is fairly distinctive in that it ranges from completely black to the basal 1/3 of elytra orange to red and the apical 2/3 black. The legs and antennae generally are entirely black, however, there is variation in this character. The punctures in the apical ½ of the elytra tend to be closer together than in the basal pale area, with slightly more foveate punctures which gives the surface a somewhat wrinkled appearance.
We examined one series of specimens (9 males, 11 females) reared from Sequoia sempervirens, March 24, 1920, from Falls Church Virginia. The specimens all had the same Hopkins Number [Hopk. U.S. 16160a], however, there was no collector information. We presume that these specimens were either collected from a transplanted tree, nursery stock, arboretum, or a log, that originated from the west coast and was shipped to Virginia.

description: Dairy processing sludge is a phosphorus (P) rich waste with a high potential to replace mineral phosphorus fertiliser in crop production, with possible enhancement of greenhouse gas emissions to the environment. Hydrothermal carbonisation is a technology that transforms the sludge into a hydrochar. The objective of this study is examining P availability of two hydrochars produced from Danish and Irish dairy sludge and their influence on greenhouse gas emissions and maize yields. The trial assessed (i) Danish dairy sludge; (ii) hydrochar derived from Danish sludge; (iii) hydrochar made from Irish dairy sludge; (iv) mineral phosphorus fertiliser; and (v) control. Emissions of nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide, soil pH, mineral nitrogen contents and crop yields were measured. Treatment with Danish dairy sludge had significantly higher cumulative nitrous oxide emissions while the emissions from both hydrochars were not significantly different compared to mineral phosphorous feriliser. Statistical modelling showed that temperature, soil nitrate content, interactions both between temperature and precipitation, and between soil moisture and precipitation were drivers for nitrous oxide emissions. There was no difference in emissions among all treatments when scaled for yield. Hydrochar may alleviate the enhanced nitrous oxide emissions in soil without constraining P availability and maize crop yields.

description: Almost 10,000 of apple cultivars are described worldwide but only a few of them are dominating in commercial apple orchards. The decline in genetic diversity could lead to negative consequences in terms of adaptability, resistance and even consumption. Apple genetic resources in Norway are conserved in several local clonal archives. The aim of this study was to evaluate Norwegian heritage apple cultivars from a pomological, agronomical, and chemical point of view, identify the most important quality parameters, and select cultivars with desirable traits for modern markets and breeding purposes. In total 75 heritage and 4 standard apple cultivars were evaluated at the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research – NIBIO Ullensvang, during 2018–2020. Based on individual investigations of various fruit quality characters, cultivar groups with special properties were selected for the industry, for making concentrate and fresh juice, and for medical properties. According to the soluble solid content, sweetness index, fruit size, acid, dry matter, and phenolic content, several groups of cultivars have high potential value for modern breeding programmes. Based on overall fruit quality, heritage cultivars Løeeple, Raud Gravenstein, and Rondestveit were selected for fresh consumption.

description: Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) drive climate change, with agricultural land significantly contributing, influenced by soil properties. While extensive research exists on environmental and management impacts on GHG emissions across various soils and climates, understanding key factors influencing GHG emissions from clay soil in temperate climates is limited. This study aims to investigate the combination of environmental and management factors reducing N2O, CO2, and CH4 emissions from clay soil in temperate climates. Recognising the potential of reduced tillage and legume-based crop rotations in mitigating GHG emissions, we investigate their impact on soil emissions. The conventionally managed field with spring barley, field beans, winter wheat, and winter rapeseed rotation demonstrates the lowest average N2O emission (3.7 g N2O ha−1 d−1), while the field with winter crops in a reduced tillage rotation shows the highest N2O emission (8.5 g N2O ha−1 d−1). A rotation with winter crops, beans twice, and barley, under conventional management, demonstrates the highest CO2 emission (140.2 kg CO2 ha−1 d−1), while the lowest CO2 emission is observed in a rotation with winter crops, beans, and barley under reduced tillage management (100.8 kg CO2 ha−1 d−1). CH4 assimilation ranges from 3.1 to 5.4 CH4 g ha−1 d−1 across all rotation and tillage combinations. However, ANCOVA results indicate that the volumes of GHG emissions are significantly influenced by the interaction of environmental and management factors, where precipitation is the most significant factor in the interaction with other environmental factors, soil tillage, and crop residues for N2O and CO2 emissions, while CH4 emissions are influenced by the interaction of air temperature with other environmental factors, soil tillage, and crop residues. This underscores the need to consider both management and relevant environmental factors when evaluating the impact of practices on GHG emissions from clay soil in temperate climates.

description: Soil salinisation has led to increasing abandonment of farmlands in the arid region of northwest China, and the cultivation of cash crops has become an important way to reuse abandoned farmlands and remediate saline soils. In this study, the effects of cotton (Cot), alfalfa (Alf), and rapeseed (Rap) cropping on the bacterial and fungal communities in saline soil were compared based on high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that soil pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of the Cot, Alf, and Rap groups decreased significantly compared with those of bare land (CK). Especially, soil pH (8.3) and EC (0.93 mS cm-1) of the Alf group decreased the most, and the contents of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) increased the most, which increased by 250% and 91.4%, respectively compared with those of the CK (p < 0.05). Actinobacteriota and Proteobacteria were the dominant bacterial phyla in the three groups, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the dominant fungal phyla. The diversity of soil bacterial and fungal communities in the Alf group was higher than that in the Cot and Rap groups. The results of RDA and PERMANOVA analysis showed that soil pH, EC, C/N ratio, and TN were the main factors affecting soil bacterial and fungal communities in the three groups. In general, Cot, Alf, and Rap cropping all could reduce soil pH and EC and improve soil microbial community structure and diversity, but Alf cropping had the best effects in improving saline soil quality and bacterial and fungal diversity.
