description: Colocasiomyia cristata species group
Colocasiomyia cristata species group: Okada, 1990: 69; Sultana et al., 2006: 694; Fartyal et al., 2013: 768.
Diagnosis (modified from Fartyal et al. 2013). Fore tarsomere II with 4 or 5 equal-sized pegs on lower elongation (ch.14-1,2; Fig. 7A,B). Hypandrium posterolaterally connected to basal portion of phallal sheath through a pair of gonocoxites (Fig. 11).
Shared characters. Arista entirely densely pubescent, without branches (Figs 3C,G, 19A). Anterior reclinate orbital seta situated outside proclinate orbital seta (Fig. 3B,F). Palpus more or less convex in ventrodistal portion, with prominent seta apically and several shorter ones medially to distally. All cibarial sensilla tiny; anterior sensilla irregularly arranged in square or triangle (Fig. 4). Proboscis without a pair of lateral spherical bumps covered with numerous, short, stout setae. Spiracles small. Abdominal sternite II wider than long, somewhat trapezoid or triangular, posteriorly narrowing. Epandrium anteroventrally much elongated, not fused to cercus, without peg-like, stout seta at posteroventral apex (Fig. 10A,C,F). Pregonites absent (Fig. 11). Hypandrium more or less quadrate plate-like, as wide as or slightly wider than phallapodeme, lacking setae, posteriorly articulated to tips of epandrial ventral elongations (Fig. 11). Phallapodeme horizontally flat, fused to phallal sheath (Fig. 11). Oviscapt lateral lobes not fused to each other (Fig. 16J); ovisensilla all trichoid (Fig. 12A,C).
Included taxa. Colocasiomyia colocasiae species subgroup; C. cristata subgroup; and C. seminigra (Duda) *. Geographical distributions of all the component species are shown in Fig. 14. * Due to the insufficient information in the original description by Duda (1923), it cannot be determined to which subgroup this species from Papua New Guinea is to be assigned.

description: Genus Pholetesor Mason, 1981
Pholetesor Mason, 1981: 37; Austin, 1992:52; Whitfield, 1991: 738; Whitfield, 2006: 1 –94; Kotenko, 2007: 170 –175. Typespecies: Apanteles ornigis Weed, original designation.
Diagnosis. Mesoscutum usually with weak and ill-defined punctures, and with more or less satin-like sheen (excluding bucculatricis -group). Anterior margin of metanotum with a pair of sublateral setiferous projections, weakly to strongly retracted from scutellum, often exposing portions of mesonotal postphragma. Propodeum typically with two fields of irregular aciculations diverging forwards from nucha, the remainder of surface variously sculptured, with or without areola and costulae.
T1 usually parallel-sided or narrowing towards apex and longer than wide (excluding bucculatricis -group which has T1 wider at apex and little longer than wide). T2 wider than long, the sides either diverging apically or parallel. T1 and T2 polished to strongly rugose. T3 often smooth, but sometimes basally or completely rugose. Ovipositor sheath setaceous throughout and arising about or beyond the middle of the apical tapered valvifers, not longer than hind tibia, usually as long as hind basitarsus. Hypopygium moderately short, evenly sclerotized to medial fold or submedially weakly creased, never multiply creased and membranous medially. Inner spur of hind tibia subequal to remarkably longer than outer spur. Spines on outside of hind tibia usually smaller and fewer than those of most microgastrines.
Metacarp various in length, usually longer than pterostigma. Vannal lobe of hind wing convex with setae beyond its widest part.
This genus may be difficult to distinguish from the closest genus Dolichogenidea Viereck, but features below can be helpful: mesoscutum usually with weak and ill-defined punctures, and with more or less satin-like sheen; ovipositor usually short, as long as hind basitarsus; body usually smaller; T1 often narrowed apically; hypopygium short, medially folded but without striae.

description: The ornigis -group
This and the following circumscriptus- group comprise most of circumscriptus -group of Nixon (1965, 1973) and Papp (1983 a, b). The division between them seems to be supportable so far by the maxillary setal number in the final instar larvae. The groups are fairly easily separated by the degree of sculpturing of T1–T2 (Whitfield, 2006). Distinguishable features of this group in Photelesor are as follows: T1 subparallel-sided to posteriorly narrowed, usually much longer than broad, coarsely sculptured; rarely broadening weakly posteriorly and not much longer than broad; T2 broadly trapezoidal to subtriangular, coarsely sculptured, slightly to much shorter than T3; T3 sculptured at most antero-medially, rarely over most of tergite but not rounded posterolaterally. We include two species from China: P. laetus (Marshall, 1885) and P. salalicus Mason, 1959.

Pylochelidae

description: Family Pylochelidae Spence Bate, 1888
Remarks. The subfamily and family level classification of the Pylochelidae has been subject to debate. In his monumental revision of the family, Forest (1987a) recognized six subfamilies within the Pylochelidae, viz., Pylochelinae, Pomatochelinae, Parapylochelinae, Cancellochelinae, Trizochelinae and Mixtopagurinae. On the basis of phylogenetic relationship inferred from morphological data (Lemaitre et al. 2009), McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009) proposed a new classification of the Pylochelidae, recognizing three subfamilies (Pylochelinae, Pomatochelinae and Trizochelinae) with Parapylochelinae and Cancellochellinae relegated to tribes under Trizochelinae (viz., Trizochelini, Cancellochelini and Parapylochelini). Subsequently, molecular phylogenetic analysis using five nuclear protein-coding genes by Tsang et al. (2011) indicated that Pylochelidae is polyphyletic, consisting of two, major, distantly related clades (Pylocheles + Xylocheles is the sister group of Galatheidae s.l. + Porcellanidae; Trizocheles is the sister group of Parapaguridae + Lomisidae + Aeglidae + Kiwaidae + Chirostylidae), though no formal change in classification was proposed. On the other hand, the Bayesian analysis from the combined molecular + morphological dataset performed by Bracken-Grissom et al. (2013) recovered the monophyletic Pylochelidae. Recently Fraaije et al. (2012) proposed a new family Parapylochelidae to accommodate Parapylocheles and their new fossil genus Mesoparapylocheles Fraaije, Klompmaker & Artal, 2012. In this present study, we follow McLaughlin & Lemaitre’s (2009) classification, because it is based on extensive morphological analysis covering all species known at the time. Fraaije et al. (2012) emphasized the uniqueness of the Parapylochelidae, but unique characters do not contribute to finding the sister group to Parapylocheles. In addition, the erection of the new family under their own authorship (Fraaje et al. 2012; also see Fraaje 2014) is not justified according to the Article 36 of ICZN (1999). The authorship of Parapylochelidae should be attributed to Forest (1987a) who formally proposed a subfamily rank (i.e., Parapylochelinae) for this group. In fact, Fraaje et al. (2014) corrected back the authorship of the Parapylochelidae to Forest (1987a), though they did comment on the change.

Remarks. Bathycheles was originally established as a subgenus of Pylocheles by Forest (1987a), but subsequently raised to a full genus by McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009). Within Pylochelinae, it is easily recognized by the reduced, non-pigmented corneas and non-operculate chelipeds. Two species are recorded from the study areas, representing the most abundant pylochelids.

Cheiroplatea

description: Genus Cheiroplatea Spence Bate, 1888
Remarks. During this study, we examined the holotype of Cheiroplatea mitoi (KMNH-ZLKU 4070) from Japan and additional specimens from Taiwan (one female, NTOU) and the Solomon Sea (one female, MNHN) identified as that species by McLaughlin et al. (2007) and McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009), respectively, in order to confirm if this species is really present in the South-West Pacific. We came to the conclusion that the specimen from the Solomon Sea reported by McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009) does not represent C. mitoi, but C. pumicicola instead (for details, see “Remarks” under the account of C. pumicicola). The specific identity of the specimen from Taiwan remains obscure. The Taiwanese specimen differs from the holotype of C. mitoi in the much more basally inflated ocular peduncle, bearing a row of minute granules on the dorsal margins of the propodi and carpi of the third pereopods, and a minute dorsodistal spine on each merus. Unfortunately, because of the damage to the cephalothorax, characters of the anterior part of the carapace in the Taiwanese specimen remain to be assessed. Consequently, we did not adopt the redescription of C. mitoi by McLaughlin & Lemaitre (2009) for comparison. Cheiroplatea has heretofore been represented by six species and the present study adds one new species from the Bismarck Sea. Morphologically, the genus is readily recognized by the shield being broader than long, the reduced, non-pigmented cornea, and the operculiform chelipeds.
A revised identification key to the species of Cheiroplatea is presented below.
