Monophleboides

description: Genus Monophleboides Morrison
Monophleboides (Fig. 21) is an African genus of six species, three from North Africa and three Afrotropical (García Morales et al. 2016). None are of economic significance, although several have been found on crop plants. Adult females have large tubular bilocular pores along margin, a single ventral cicatrix, but lack stout derm spines, a marsupium, and disk pores within the atria of the abdominal spiracles (Morrison 1927). None of the species has been studied to modern standards and it has not been possible to make an identification key due to lack of data. The species are as follows:
Monophleboides africanus: Namibia on Zygophyllaceae
Monophleboides arachidis: Democratic Republic of the Congo on Fabaceae (Arachis hypogaea)
Monophleboides gymnocarpi (Fig. 21): Egypt on Amaranthaceae, Caryophylaceae and Nitrariaceae
Monophleboides hirtus: Malawi and South Africa on Pinaceae (Pinus caribaea)
Monophleboides sjostedti: Tanzania on grass (Poaceae)
Monophleboides suaedae ssp. halocnemae: Tunisia on Amaranthaceae (Halocnemum strobilaceum)
Monophleboides suaedae ssp. suaedae: Tunisia on Amaranthaceae (Suaeda pruinosa)

Atalophlebia australasica. – Harker, 1954: 248 (Baetis costalis Burmeister, 1839 is a nomen praeoccupatum).
Accepted name: Atalophlebia australasica (F.-J. Pictet, 1843).
Locus typicus: “… Nouvelle-Hollande ” [New South Wales, Australia].
Type material: NMW; holotype [by monotypy], ♂ imago; Pictet vidit / Atalophlebia costalis Burm. (australasica Pict.) [Ulmer’s handwriting].
Remarks: F.-J. Pictet mentioned “Les deux exemplaires figurés …” and described the male imago and [female] subimago, attributing the latter only doubtfully (F.-J. Pictet, 1843: 189 “Id.? Pseudimago, Planche XXIV, FIG. 2 ”; F.-J. Pictet, 1845: 10 “Probablement le mâle [sic] subimago ... “). According to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1999: article 72.4.1), the male specimen is therefore the holotype by monotypy.
Kollar probably had sent three specimens to F.- J. Pictet: a male (listed above), a female subimago (Lotz. 12 [= Johann Lhotsky, who collected in New South Wales in 1832-1838] / australasica subimago), and a female (Pictet vidit / Lotz. 11).
Ulmer (1921: 243) listed “drei Typen [three types]” but obviously confused one label. The remark “Sidney” [probably in F.M. Brauer’s handwriting] refers to an additional male specimen which was collected during the Novara Expedition in November 1858 but was not examined by F.-J. Pictet.
Ulmer (1920b) synonymized B. australasica F.-J. Pictet, 1843 with B. costalis Burmeister, 1839, but Harker (1954) recognized that Baetis costalis Burmeister, 1839 is a homonym of B. costalis Curtis, 1834 and so she reinstalled the older synonym as the valid name of the species.

Palaeococcus is a Palaearctic genus containing three species, one of which occurs in North Africa (García Morales et al. 2016). Palaeococcus fuscipennis (Fig. 16) has been recorded from Algeria; it lives on the trunk, branches and crowns of trees in the families Fagaceae (Quercus), Pinaceae (particularly Pinus species) and Sapindaceae (Acer) (Mendel et al. 1998). While it can occasionally cause heavy fouling with honeydew and sooty mould in Israel (Mendel et al. 1991), it has not been recorded causing significant economic damage.

Pseudaspidoproctus

description: Genus Pseudaspidoproctus Morrison
Pseudaspidoproctus is an African genus of nine described species that have not been thoroughly studied, two of which have not been recorded from continental Africa (García Morales et al. 2016). Now that Pseudaspidoproctus zimmermanni has been transferred to Aspidoproctus (see the new combination made above), there are six species found on the continent. They are quite large for scale insects; the anterior margin of the marsupium lacks a dense band of pores, so in life the marsupial opening is not covered by a flap of felted wax. The insects prefer woody hosts (García Morales et al. 2016) and are of no economic importance.
The material studied included syntypes of P. africanus, the lectotype of P. hyphaeniacus, and a paratype of P. vayssieriellus but no type material of P. acaciae. No material of P. fortis was seen, so it is not included in the key below.

Type material: Syntypes (male and female imagines and subimagines, larvae), not traced and most probably lost.
Remarks: Most of the material still present in the MHNG came from Meyer-Dür and is labelled “Burgdorf”. Baetis rhodani is considered as one of the most abundant mayfly species in Europe. However, recent investigations indicate that it is a species complex (Bisconti et al., 2016; Gattolliat et al., 2015; Lucentini et al., 2011; Rutschmann et al., 2014; Williams et al., 2006). Therefore Gattolliat & Sartori (2008) designated a neotype, which is deposited in the collection of the Museum of Zoology, Lausanne, with voucher specimens in the MHNG and the NMW.

Vrydahga

description: Genus Vrydahga Vayssière
Vrydagha is an African genus containing a single species, V. lepesmei (Fig. 20) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (García Morales et al. 2016). In the southern savannas of the country its primary host is Imperata cylindrica (Poaceae) but if crops (e.g. Zea mays, Arachis hypogaea and Gossypium sp.) are grown in contaminated soil or in proximity to I. cylindrica their roots can become infested, in association with ants of the genus Camponotus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), and possibly the fungus Corticium vagum Berk. & M.A. Curtis (Fungi: Corticiaceae). The scale can cause considerable damage to cotton, weakening and even killing plants (Vayssière 1957). Adult female characteristics include 10-segmented antennae; abdominal spiracles quite small, numbering 5 pairs; with 3 elongate oval cicatrices; anal tube with internal ring of pores strongly sclerotized; body setae all flagellate, shorter on dorsum than on venter; with a few longer setae present along margin; and multilocular pores all of one type, each with a single central loculus (Vayssière 1957).

Walkeriana

description: Genus Walkeriana Signoret
Walkeriana is a genus containing nine nominal species that have been little studied (García Morales et al. 2016). According to the literature, two occur in Africa; however, W. andreae from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is reportedly a pre-adult Aspidoproctus (Vayssière 1926). Walkeriana digitifrons occurs in Uganda on Fabaceae (Baikiaea); it is of no economic importance (Newstead 1920; Vayssière 1926). Appearance in life: “Adult female somewhat pyriform, narrowed in front; highly convex and sloping gradually towards the cephalic margin. Dorsum more-or-less covered with an easily deciduous layer of white or pale buff-white, granular wax; margin with relatively robust, coalescing plates of white wax, which, when perfect, are distinctly laminated transversely; cephalic margin with a short stout centrally placed, cylindrical process” (Newstead 1920). Adult female co-type with antenna 11 segmented; margin on each side with about 12 segmental tubercles, each bearing a few tubular bilocular pores (each pore elevated above body surface when seen in profile); and 3 well-spaced cicatrices posterior to vulva. Unfortunately, no illustration of W. digitifrons is available. The genotype, W. floriger (Walker), is shown in Fig. 18; it does not occur in Africa and differs from W. digitifrons in lacking tubercles and in having closely packed cicatrices.

Type material: NMW; 7 syntypes (Fig. 6A): 6 ♂ imagines, Shtt.[Schott] (blue label) / Pictet vidit; 1 ♂ imago, Shtt.[Schott] (blue label) / Pictet vidit / Leptohyphodes (Ulm.) inanis Pictet Typen [Ulmer’s handwriting].
Remarks: Some specimens are more or less damaged but on the whole in comparatively good condition (Fig. 6 B-C). Heinrich Wilhelm Schott collected in Rio de Janeiro during 1817-1821, where he was practically all the time restricted to the vicinity of the city (Schott, 1822). Two of his excursions reached Canta Gallo (= Cantagalo 21°58” S 42°22 ”W) and Macacú (22°42’S 43°02”W). Ulmer (1921: 244) listed “acht Typen ” and provided a redescription of the material. It seems probable that Kollar sent just a sample of 2 specimens to F.-J. Pictet (he based his description on “... deux exemplaires secs”), and afterwards labelled the complete series. F.-J. Pictet, however, seems to have recognized this and according to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1999: article 72.4.1.1), the seven existing specimens constitute the type series. Leptohyphodes inanis is the type species of the genus Leptohyphodes Ulmer, 1920a and is so far only known from Brazil (Domínguez et al., 2006).

Remarks: In the MHNG there is one specimen (female subimago) which bears the name Caenis halterata Fabr. and originates from Burgdorf (coll. Meyer-Dür). This specimen belongs to Caenis luctuosa (Burmeister, 1839). Without any new available data, we accept the synonymy proposed by Eaton (1871) and followed by Malzacher (1986), but in our opinion C. grisea could also be considered a junior subjective synonym of C. luctuosa (Burmeister, 1839).

Caenis argentata F.-J. Pictet, 1843 -1845: 279-280, pl. 43, fig. 6. – Kluge, 2020 (nomen dubium).
Caenis halterata (Fabricius, 1777). – Ulmer, 1921: 248 (synonymization).
Accepted name: Caenis argentata F.-J. Pictet, 1843 nom.dub.
Locus typicus: “… se trouve en Sicile ”.
Type material: NMW; holotype [by monotypy], female subimago.
Remarks: F.-J. Pictet wrote “Je ne connais que la femelle subimago de cette espèce… elle m’a été communiquée par le musée de Vienne ”. It is, however, rather doubtful whether the specimen in the NMW actually represents the type specimen: female subimago / Caenis argentata? Kollar lactea Hffm. [Kollar’s handwriting] / Caenis horaria (L.) det. Malzacher 1983 [no collector’s label, no locality]. Ulmer (1921: 248) erroneously quoted three male subimagines in the NMW carrying F.-J. Pictet’s label: “... davon stammen zwei aus Sizilien, eins aus Ischl.”. None of these specimens actually bears F.-J. Pictet’s label nor could they have represented type material, and most probably Ulmer’s remark was based on a confusion with later acquisitions from Sicily not seen by F.-J. Pictet. Two additional male specimens and one female (in the NHW, all without labels) have been transferred to glycerin: “ Caenis horaria (L.) sub nom. C. lactea (Pict.) det. Malzacher 6. 1983”. None of them can be considered to represent type material.
Caenis horaria has so far not been recorded from Sicily and in our opinion it is most likely that Kollar incorrectly labelled a specimen of unknown origin at a later time. The specimen in question lacks the “Pictet vidit” label as well as any evidence concerning its origin, and it therefore seems justified to consider the name Caenis argentata F.-J. Pictet, 1843 as a nomen dubium.

Insignorthezia

description: Genus Insignorthezia Kozár
Insignorthezia is a Neotropical genus of ten species. Only Insignorthezia insignis (Fig. 23) has spread to many other parts of the tropics, including Africa (García Morales et al. 2016). When it was accidentally introduced to Hawai’i, initially it was regarded as a potential biological control agent for invasive Lantana camara (Bartlett 1978); however, the species is polyphagous, and the sooty mould associated with infestations can be an unsightly problem on ornamental shrubs and fruit trees. Insignorthezia insignis became a serious pest of coffee and ornamental trees and shrubs in Kenya so the Mexican predator Hyperaspis jocosa (Mulsant) (Coleoptera; Coccinellidae) was successfully introduced as a biological control agent (Bartlett 1978). In life, I. insignis has patches of bare dark green cuticle on the dorsum. The only other ortheziid known to feed on aerial plant parts in Africa is Praelongorthezia praelonga (Fig. 25), which in life has the dorsum completely covered in white wax plates (Kondo et al. 2013).

Accepted name: Caenis oophora F.-J. Pictet, 1843 nom. dub.
Locus typicus: “… originaire de Sardaigne ”.
Type material: NMW; holotype [by monotypy], ♀ [subimago]; Caenis macrura Stephens, female subimago / Dhl. a. c. [= Dahl, alte collection?] / Pictet vidit.
Remarks: The type specimen, denoted “femelle imago” by F.-J. Pictet, corresponds with his description and illustration. It had presumably been collected by Georg Dahl (1769-1832), naturalist and dealer in natural history specimens, who collected in Sardinia and whose respective material was acquired by the NMW in 1826. Ulmer (1921: 248) mentioned two female specimens with F.-J. Pictet’s label, originating from Sardinia, but Pictet (1843) expressly mentionned that he examined only one specimen: “L’individu que j’ai eu à ma disposition...”. The second specimen, with protruding eggs and labelled “Pictet vidit” (but without collector’s label or locality) which corresponds with Ulmer’s description, was doubtfully identified as “ C.? luctuosa (Burm.) det. Malzacher 1983”. Another female specimen, labelled “ C. oophora Pict. Sardinien (Mann) [probably Kollar’s handwriting] / Pictet vidit” does not correspond with F.-J. Pictet’s description and was probably subsequently identified by Kollar, but it had not been examined by F.-J. Pictet. It had either been obtained from or collected by Josef Johann Mann (1804-1889), who travelled Corsica in 1855 and Sicily in 1858 (Rogenhofer, 1889). In the light of this poor and contradictory evidence, the name C. oophora Pictet, 1843 is probably best considered a nomen dubium.

Remarks: Theodor Kotschy (1813-1866) travelled the White and Blue Nile (Cairo to Torra, El Obeid, Torra, Karthum, Beni Shanqul) during 1836-1839. Material from this expedition was acquired by the NMW in 1839.
In his redescriptions Ulmer (1916: 14; 1921: 248) quoted “vier Typen [four types]” misreading the collector’s acronym for “No. 21”. The fourth specimen, however, does not represent type material and actually originates from a series collected by Josef Franz Natterer (1819-1862) in “ Egypt ” [Karthoum], acquired by the NMW in 1858 and not seen by F.-J. Pictet.
Beside this material, and as F.-J. Pictet mentioned “… et je la possède aussi dans ma collection”, four specimens are located in the MHNG. They were found under the name Caenis lactella Eaton, 1884 (a synonym of C. horaria) and all bear the same label: 620 48 Europe centr[ale] coll. Pictet. As no Tricorythus species has ever been reported from Europe, we can conclude that this is an example of the poor care the collection has suffered. These specimens fit the description given by F.- J. Pictet and may well constitute part of the original type series. This material is currently in ethanol.
Eaton (1868) based his genus Tricorythus on Caenis varicauda F.-J. Pictet, 1843 which was recently redescribed by Kluge (2010).

Orthezia is a genus of 23 species that occurs worldwide, but most of them are of Nearctic or Neotropical origin (García Morales et al. 2016). They can occur in high densities on stems and leaves; colonies are conspicuous and may be associated with sooty mould (Kawai 1980). The only widespread, polyphagous and economically important species is O. urticae, a Palaearctic species that occurs in North Africa (Kawai 1980).

description: Genus Praelongorthezia Kozár
This is a Neotropical genus of 23 species that feed on aerial plant parts (Kozár 2004; García Morales et al. 2016). A single species, Praelongorthezia praelonga (Fig. 25), has spread to other parts of the world including Africa (Kondo et al. 2013). It is polyphagous and the sooty mould associated with infestations can be an unsightly problem on ornamental shrubs and trees. Praelongorthezia praelonga is particularly known as a pest of citrus but can attack coffee. It has been recorded from several West African countries (Kondo et al. 2013) and is extending its geographical range. In life, the entire dorsum is covered by white wax plates, whereas Insignorthezia insignis has dorsal areas of bare dark green cuticle (Kondo et al. 2013).
