M. phoebe almana gaede, 1930

description: M. phoebe almana Gaede, 1930
[TL: Syria, Elman Dagh], following Russell & Tennent (2016: 44, note 14) this name is a nomen nudum. It was described by Gaede as follows: ‘a pale race from North Syria similar to telona Fruhst. ’ (Translation). Although Gaede (1930: 208) attributed the name to Rebel (undated), no description by Rebel or anyone else has been found. Hesselbarth et al. (1995: 1031) suggested that it may have been a misspelling of amanica Rebel, but Gaede treated the names separately. As far as the authors are aware there has not been any illustration of “almana” and it was not mentioned by van Oorschot & Coutsis (2014).

description: The research aimed to determine the inhibitory effects of different fractions of Camellia sinensis on α-glucosidase, α-amylase, glucose uptake, and Glut-4 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and identification of the active principle. The crude aqueous extract was sequentially sub-fractionated using preparative HPLC and subjected to in vitro assays. Fraction 1 (F1) exhibited effective inhibition of both α-glucosidase and α-amylase with an IC50 value of 90.31 µg/mL and 112.82 µg/mL, respectively. Sub-fraction 5 (F5) effectively inhibited α-glucosidase (IC50 = 37.86 µg/mL) compared to acarbose (IC50 = 76.19 µg/mL). The glucose uptake was significantly increased to 1.5 (p < 0.05) and 2.5-fold (p < 0.05) by F5 at 50 and 100 µM concentration, respectively. The synergistic effect of F1 to enhance glucose uptake (1.15 and 1.5-fold stimulation) was significantly higher than the control but less effective than F5. Furthermore, structure elucidation of the principle present in F5 revealed the presence of (2 R,3S)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromene-3,5,7-triol.

[TL: Askhabad, Turkmenistan] is here elevated to species status: Melitaea enoch Higgins, 1941. The Type Locality is just across the border from north-eastern Iran where this taxon is widely distributed (Tshikolovets et al. 2014: 319–320). The type material, present in the Natural History Museum, London, consists of a holotype male (Figs 16A, B, C), an allotype female and four male and one female paratypes, All the specimens display the wing characters typical of M. ornata, of which it was considered previously to be a subspecies (Tshikolovets et al. 2014: 319 and Russell & Tennent, 2016: 47, note 33).

Sclerostomus (Sclerostominus) truncatus Lüderwaldt. Weinreich 1960: 85 (description, key, and illustrations); Maes 1992: 52 (catalog).
This species was previously treated by Weinreich (1960) and the subgenus Sclerostominus erected for it. The characters used by Weinreich were the truncate anterior angles of the pronotum, setose mentum, and the lack of temporal processes in the male. Despite these autapomorphies, the species agrees with Sclerostomus in the characters used here to redefine the genus, thus we consider Sclerostominus to be a junior synonym of Sclerostomus, new synonymy.

Melitaea zagrosi

description: Melitaea zagrosi Tóth & Varga, 2011
[TL: Iran, between Kazeroun and Buschir (Konar Takhteh)], subjective junior synonym of Melitaea enoch Higgins, 1941 (syn. nov.). This taxon was distinguished from M. ornata abbas on the basis of genitalia and wing patterns by Tóth & Varga (2011). van Oorschot & Coutsis (2014: 64) discussed at great length the characters used to distinguish this taxon and considered that they were not sufficiently reliable as diagnostic characters, particularly in view of the fact that the Type Locality of zagrosi was in the midst of the distribution of M. ornata abbas in the Zagrosi Mountains (Tshikolovets et al. 2014: 320, map).Although Tshikolovets et al. (2014) sank M. zagrosi in synonymy with M. ornata abbas, they acknowledged that there is insufficient material to reach a conclusion regarding the status of the two taxa. The present authors’ only additional comment is that the elevation of the Type Localities of M. ornata abbas (2250 m) and the taxon zagrosi (500 m – Konartakhteh) are very different and environmental differences might account for the differences in wing morphology. Van Oorschot & Coutsis (2014) have already suggested that small differences in genitalia measurements could be accounted for by the coverslips compressing the genitalia on the slide. Recently Tóth et al. (2016), using a combination of morphometric measurements on the genitalia and DNA, elevated the taxon abbas to species level and synonymised the taxon zagrosi with it, in contrast to their previous conclusions, which elevated zagrosi to species level separating it from M. ornata abbas (Tóth & Varga 2011), with further research by Tóth et al. (2014) confirming this conclusion. However, their current thinking (Tóth et al. 2016), appeared to be that M. abbas is a species distinct from M. phoebe, M. ornata and M. telona and that the taxon zagrosi is a subspecies of M. abbas. We place zagrosi as a junior subjective synonym of M. enoch.

Relative length of antennomeres I–XI (n = 1): 26: 25: 15: 10: 12: 11: 12: 12: 13: 13: 30. Ratio of length/width of antennomeres I–XI (n = 1): 2.09: 2.08: 1.21: 0.71: 0.75: 0.62: 0.60: 0.55: 0.61: 0.55: 1.46.
Distribution. Japan (Hokkaido, Shikoku)—new record; China (Shaanxi).
Remarks. Phymatura russa is recorded from Japan for the first time. This species can be distinguished from the other Phymatura species recorded from Japan by its nearly uniformly reddish coloration, the smaller eyes, and the shapes of the aedeagus and the spermatheca. This species has been collected from Hokkaido and Shikoku, and may be widely distributed in mainland Japan (see Assing (2021) for detailed description of Ph. russa).

Styringomyia americana Alexander, 1914: 231 (description), Figure 1 (wing venation).
MATERIAL EXAMINED. Holotype. Sex unknown, Mallali, Demerara (ca. 6º46N, 58º10W), British Guyana, March 8, 1913, H. S. Parish (USNM). Most of the specimen pinned; left wing mounted on separate slide.
DESCRIPTION. Dimensions: see Table I.
REMARKS. Alexander (1914) superficially described this species based on two broken specimens lacking terminalia. Because the diagnostic features of the Neotropical Styringomyia species refers to the morphology of the male terminalia, the taxonomic identity of the species­group taxon S. americana cannot be determined from its name­bearing type, and according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999), it can be considered a nomen dubium. The holotype was identified by Alexander (1914: 231) as a male, although in the holotype label it is indicated that the specimen is a female. The information available does not allow the unambiguous determination of the sex of this specimen.
