description: Genus Trizocheles Forest, 1987
Remarks. Since the revision by McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009), Komai (2013) reported on four Japanese species of Trizocheles, including three new species. The present study adds material of the four species and includes one new species. Possible diagnostic characters, including key characters used by McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009), have been reassessed and a revised key to the species of Trizocheles is here presented. Non-dichotomous characters are included with brackets.

Trizocheles manningi Forest, 1987a: 210, figs. 59a, 66d, 72; 1987b: 315, fig. 2 [type locality: N of Mindanao, Bohol Sea, Philippines, 296 m].—Lemaitre et al. 2009: 5.—McLaughlin & Lemaitre 2009: 225.—Komai 2013: 92.
Material examined. BIOPAPUA, stn CP 3693, SW of Manus Island, 02°10’S, 147°17’E, 300 m, 29 September 2010, 1 male (sl 6.0 mm), 1 ovigerous female (sl 7.3 mm), MNHN-IU-2014-12702; same data, 1 male (sl 5.6 mm), MNHN-IU-2011-2636; same data, 1 male (sl 7.0 mm), MNHN-IU-2011-2445; stn DW 3732, 08°16’S, 150°29’E, 340–358 m, 9 October 2010, 1 ovigerous female (sl 7.7 mm; photographed), MNHN-IU-2011-3076.
PAPUA NIUGINI, stn CP 4059, N of Vanimo, Bismarck Sea, 02°38’S, 141°18’E, 335 m, 21 December 2012, 1 female (sl 3.6 mm), MNHN-IU-2014-10298b.
Description. See McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009: 225–226).
Size. Largest male sl 7.0 mm, largest female sl 7.7 mm, ovigerous females sl 7.3–7.7 mm.
Colour in life. Shield and pleon light yellow-orange and slightly mottled; ocular peduncle, antennular and antennal peduncles orange; chelipeds and ambulatory generally orange, meri with scattered whitish spots; eggs scarlet (Fig. 5A).
Distribution. Previously known only from the Philippines, 296 m (McLaughlin & Lemaitre 2009). Newly recorded from Papua New Guinea, 300–358 m.
Habitat. Tusk shells.
Remarks. Trizocheles manningi was previously known only from two females, the holotype and one additional specimen (McLaughlin & Lemaitre 2009), both from the Philippines. The present specimens agree well with the redescription by McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009), particularly in the lack of stridulating rods or tubercles on the lateral faces of cheliped carpi, the dorsally unarmed propodi of the second pereopods, and the presence of four dorsal spines on the carpi of the second pereopods.

description: 2.1. Neurolaena ser. Eradiatae Turner (1982: 122, as “ Eradiata ”).
Type species:— Neurolaena macrophylla Greenman (1904: 118) (Fig. 1).
Diagnosis: —Discoid heads and usually longer structures such as involucre 6.7–9 mm long, paleae 5.5–7.4 mm long, disc corolla 6–7.85 mm long, and pappus bristles 3.5–7.6 mm long.
Turner (1982) proposed this series with two subordinated species: N. macrophylla Greenman (1903: 118) and N. venturana Turner (1978: 251). Based on the ratio palea to disc floret corolla and discoid capitula of N. jannaweissana Turner (1998: 91–92), we propose it also belongs to N. series Eradiatae.
Geographic distribution: — Guatemala and Mexico, in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz states (Fig. 1).

description: 2.2. Neurolaena ser. Radiatae Turner (1982: 121–122, as “ Radiata ”).
Type species:— Neurolaena cobanensis Greenman ex Smith (1904: 418–419) (Figs. 1, 2, 3).
Diagnosis: —Radiate capitula and commonly shorter reproductive structures such as involucre 4.8–7 mm long, paleae 3.3–5.45 mm long, disc floret corolla 4.55–6.45 mm long, and pappus bristles 1.2–5.2 mm long.
Turner (1982) proposed this series with two subordinated species: N. cobanensis Greenman ex Smith (1904: 418–419) and N. oaxacana Turner (1977: 251). Based on the ratio palea to disc floret corolla and radiate capitula of N. serboana Turner (2014: 15) and the new species (N. curtipalea), we consider these two as belonging to N. series Radiatae.
Geographic distribution: — Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Mexico, in Chiapas and Oaxaca states. We also document here the first occurrence of this series in Colombia based on the occurrence of the new species, N. curtipalea (Figs. 1, 2, 3).

Protibiae with 3 teeth on outer edge, each tooth with a single group of setae dorsally; dorsal carina from 3rd tooth extending to base, exposing large lateral basal area when viewed from above (Fig. 11 C). Profemora with a flattened posterior face. Trochantofemoral anterior pit absent (Fig. 11 B). Mesocoxae strongly oblique, mesotibiae of male with a small brush of setae at inner apical angle. Protarsi with 5 tarsomeres, tarsomere 5 the longest. Mesotarsi and metatarsi with tarsomere 5 longest and equal to tarsomere 3–4 combined. Metafemora with flattened, reticulate posterior face bearing 1, 2, or 3 carinae. Tarsal claws distinctly toothed, moderate to large (Fig. 11 E). Pygidium simple, without grooves or depression. Abdominal ventrite 6 shorter that ventrites 2–5 combined. Hind wings fully developed, reduced, or absent.

Amblypsilopus abruptus

description: Amblypsilopus abruptus species group
Diagnosis
See Bickel (1994) for a full diagnosis of the species group. The Afrotropical Amblypsilopus abruptus species group shares mostly primitive characters, such as the short antennae, broad face, mostly nonornamented and non-elongated legs, unmodified wing venation, usually dark body and femora, simple cercus and surstylus.
Notes
The Amblypsilopus abruptus species group is widespread throughout the Old World tropics. The Madagascan fauna numbers six mostly endemic species including A. cilifrons reported also from Cameroon, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Togo and Zimbabwe. The following species known from the Afrotropical mainland belong to the A. abruptus species group: A. auratus, A. cilifrons, A. disjunctus, A. longifilus, A. miser, A. munroi, A. perniger, A. signatus and A. tenuicauda. Amblypsilopus spiniscapus sp. nov. and A. gabonensis sp. nov. are also associated with the A. abruptus species group, differing from all other species of the genus in the presence of dorsal bristles on the antennal scape. Amblypsilopus auratus, A. cilifrons, A. longifilus and A. munroi are the commonest species known each from many countries on the continent, sometimes reported from the Atlantic (St Helena) and Indian Ocean islands (Madagascar, Sri Lanka). It seems that A. perniger, A. signatus, and A. tenuicauda have had no reliable records after their descriptions (Grichanov 2018).

description: Amblypsilopus fasciatus species group
Diagnosis
Bickel (1994) considered the Amblypsilopus fasciatus species group to be equivalent to the South African genus Sciopolina Curran, 1924, treated in Irwin (1974). The group is defined primarily by a male wing modification (MSSC), i.e., wing veins R 2+3 and R 4+5 are fused apically, and the wing apex has a more or less distinct apical sclerotized spot. The other morphological characters, including the hypopygium, are well within the range of variation found in the genus (Bickel 1994). Nevertheless, the here newly described males of A. bevisi and A. milleri have unmodified wings, but belong to the A. fasciatus species group on the basis of the morphology of the hypopygium and other characters listed below. Therefore, the group as a whole must be considered a part of the A. pallidicornis lineage as defined by Bickel (1994). The complex of characters uniting species of that group are as follows (after Irwin 1974): body ground colour brilliant metallic yellowish-green, blue-green or purple-red, and brown; face broad, more or less bulging under antennae, with more or less protruding clypeus; antenna usually short (but very long in A. milleri); legs elongate, mainly yellow, poorly ornamented; wing anal lobe well developed and anal angle acute in both sexes (wing anal lobe often reduced in males of other species groups of Amblypsilopus); male cercus swollen at base, elongate and narrow, bearing rows of long setae (male cercus often furcate in other species of the genus). The male cercus in A. bevisi is almost identical to that in A. bonniae and A. macularivena, and the male cercus in A. milleri is quite similar to that in A. fasciatus, A. retrovena and A. stuckenbergorum (figured by Irwin 1974).
Notes
The Amblypsilopus fasciatus species group is confined to South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Western Cape and bordering area of Eastern Cape). The following species belong to the A. fasciatus species group: A. bevisi, A. bonniae, A. fasciatus, A. macularivena, A. milleri, A. retrovena and A. stuckenbergorum. Amblypsilopus milleri with the long male antenna may relate with the Madagascan A. pallidicornis species group (see Grichanov 2021a). Amblypsilopus stuckenbergorum is the commonest species of the group, inhabiting montane forest and grassland zones of the eastern portion of southern Africa (Irwin 1974).
