Rugilus prolongatus

description: Rugilus (Rugilus) prolongatus (SOLSKY 1874)
Material examined: Tajikistan: 8 exs. [partly slightly teneral], Varzob district, Varzob, Campus 'Chaika', 38°46'N, 68°49'E, 1110, 7.-8.VII.2012, leg. Barševskis (cSha, cAss).
Comment: This species is rather widespread in Middle Asia and has been recorded from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (SMETANA 2004). ROUGEMONT (1988) distinguished two subspecies, with R. prolongatus khalash ROUGEMONT 1988 distributed in Pakistan, but this hypothesis requires confirmation.

subject: Deep learning

description: This thesis develops innovative context mining methods to address the ambiguity in visual data for object-level visual understanding and the lack of inherent structure in bioinformatic data for cell classification.
A context-aware knowledge graph for object-level visual understanding is developed to effectively resolve ambiguities in identifying objects of interest.
A structural gene tree method constructed through unsupervised min-max optimization is developed to overcome the challenge of lacking natural structure and domain knowledge in scRNA-seq cell classification.
These developments represent original contributions to visual understanding research using visual data and classification research using bioinformatic data, with both methodological and practical significance.

(Fig. 2)
Type specimen. Holotype male: Panamá, Boquete, Prov. Chiriquí, July 27–30, 1961, 4000 ft., J. M. Campbell. Holotype deposited in LACM.
Diagnosis. Unique among the small, black, antlike Enoclerus of Middle America by virtue of its smooth anterior elytral surface. The Panamanian species E. albosignatus Ekis is similar, but has the elytral base distinctly carinate.
Description (Holotype). Length: 3.75 mm. Color: black to reddish black; antennal scape and pedicel (in part), palpi, and trochanters testaceous; legs reddish; each elytron bearing a slightly raised, elongate–triangulate, transverse eburneous fascia, complete to lateral margins, narrowing internally where it is interrupted before the suture (Fig. 2). Head: broader across than anterior margin of pronotum, antennae elongate, attaining posterior margin of pronotum when laid alongside; club rather elongate and loosely composed; surface densely and coarsely but shallowly rugulo–punctate; vestiture pale, sparse and fine, with a few erect, stouter setae intermixed. Pronotum: longer than broad (25:22), campanulate, broadest at anterior 1/5; transverse impression obscure; disk subflattened above; surface sculpturing as on head; rugae irregularly transverse; vestiture moderately dense but inconspicuous, consisting of short and long, fine and robust, suberect and erect, pale and black setae, mostly directed anteriorly. Elytra: elongate; umbones rounded; sides sinuate, broadest at approximately posterior 1/3; subbasal tumescences very shallow, rounded and smooth above; posterior quite convex in holotype (this possibly an artifact of preservation); apices do not appear to be dehiscent; surface shining on anterior 1/3, which is smooth except for shallow, indistinct wrinkling laterally, and a sparse array of mostly erect, mostly robust setae; eburneous fascia smooth, slightly elevated, situated at about anterior 1/3, inconspicuously set with short, suberect white setae; surface posterior to fascia coarsely but very shallowly rugose, with impressions forming vague longitudinal striae; vestiture inconspicuous, composed of fine, rather short, suberect pale setae with a sparser admixture of longer, more robust, erect dark setae. Legs: meso– and metafemora elongate, not particularly swollen at middle.
Etymology. Named for the type locality.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality of Boquete, Chiriquí, Panamá at an elevation of 4000'. Boquete is situated in montane forest, including cloud forest habitat.

Dacrysoma dolorosum

description: Dacrysoma dolorosum sp. n.
(Figs. 46, 67, 96)
This species exists as a single dissection making a habitus photograph impossible. Length. 0.80–0.81 mm. Colour: dusky yellow, antennae paler yellow. Antennae: the stalk of the dumb-bell shaped antennomere 11 very long Fig.46. Head pubescence very long (as Fig. 61). Pronotum Fig. 67, 0.21 mm long, 0.29 mm wide, lateral margins strongly angled, pubescence very long, foveae moderate/coarse, +/- 7 between anterior and posterior margins. Elytra: 0.49 mm long, 0.46 mm wide, foveae moderate, pubescence shorter than on head and pronotum.
Male: aedeagus Fig. 96.
Female: not known.
Etymology. This epithet is taken from an adjectival form of the Latin noun dolor, meaning sad, and reflects the mournful impression given by the appearance of the downwardly pointing tip of the aedeagus and the fragmentary nature of the specimen.
Remarks. Immediately distinguishable by the very long bar to the dumb-bell shaped antennomere 11, a character which is shared by only one other species, D. longulum, from which it may be separated by the form of the pronotum with more strongly angled lateral margins, and the more hooked shape of the aedeagus with a narrowed tip.
Type data. Holotype: ♂, Montagne d’Ambre N.P., sifting, 1100 m, 30.x.2010, P. Banar (BMNH).

description: Dacrysoma nigerrimum sp. n.
(Figs. 12, 47, 57, 68, 85)
Habitus Fig. 12. Length 0.87–0.89 mm. Colour: dark brown, the dorsum appearing almost black in some lights, antennae and legs yellow. Antennomeres 3–11 Fig. 47. Pronotum 0.25 mm long, 0.34 mm wide, Figs. 57, 68. Elytra 0.54 mm long, 0.45 mm wide, more finely punctured than pronotum and pubescence shorter. Micropterous, wings reduced to remnant only.
Female: spermatheca Fig. 85.
Male: not known.
Etymology. This epithet is taken from the Latin adjective niger meaning dark-coloured and refers to the species’ overall dark colouration.
Remarks. The dark colour, distinctive rounded shape and puncturation of the pronotum and elytra, and absence of flight wings will quickly serve to determine this species.
Type data. Holotype: ♀, Ranomafana N.P., RNF/13.2011, litter, sifting, Winkler app. extr. S.21˚15’13.5’’. E.47˚24’[?]09.8’’, 16.iv.2011, L.S.Rahanitriniaina & R.Raveloson (BMNH). Paratypes: 2 ♀, same data as holotype (BMNH).

description: Dacrysoma fabrum sp. n
(Figs. 11, 48, 59, 69, 86, 95)
Habitus Fig. 11. Length. 0.80–0.81 mm. Colour: yellowy brown, antennae and legs paler yellow. Antennae very short, antennomeres 3–11 Fig. 48. Pronotum: 0.21 mm long, 0.28 mm wide, puncturation very faint, Figs 59, 69. Elytra: 0.54 mm long, 0.45 mm wide, puncturation stronger than on pronotum.
Male: aedeagus Fig. 95.
Female: spermatheca Fig. 86.
Etymology. This epithet is taken from the Latin adjective faber, meaning ingenious, and refers to the joined nature of the dumb-bell shaped antennomere 11.
Remarks. The absence of clear pronotal puncturation is similar to D. fusum, but D. fabrum may be separated from that and all other Dacrysoma species examined to date except D. denticulatum by the absence of a clearly defined dumb-bell shape to antennomere 11 which shows only a slight median narrowing. See D. longulum for the possibility that females of that species may be confused with females of D. fabrum
Type data. Holotype ♂: Ranomafana N.P., sifting, S.21˚14’51’’ E. 47˚24’13’’, 1079 m, 16–18.xi.2010, P. Banar (BMNH).

Habitus Fig. 16. Length. 0.80–0.81 mm. Colour: dusky yellow, pronotum slightly darker than elytra, antennae and legs paler yellow. Antennomeres 3–11 Fig. 49. Pronotum 0.22 mm long, 0.28 mm wide, Fig. 70, +/- 8 punctures between anterior and posterior margins. Elytra: 0.49 mm long, 0.48 mm wide, more finely punctured than pronotum.
Male: aedeagus Fig. 97.
Female: spermatheca Fig. 88.
Etymology. This epithet is based on the Latin participle imitatus, meaning imitated, and refers to its morphological similarity with sibling species.
Remarks. Difficult to distinquish on external features so that a dissection of the genitalia is required. The spermatheca could be confused with D. fabrum but is rounder and lacks the distinctive pear shape of that species.
Type data. Holotype: ♂, Ranomafana N.P., sifting, S.21˚14’51’’ E. 47˚24’13’’, 1079 m, 16–18.xi.2010, P. Banar (BMNH).

Pronotum 0.21 mm long, 0.31 mm wide, lateral margins angled, the angle marked by a faint tooth Fig. 75, pubescence very long, +/- one third the length of the pronotum, +/- 7 punctures between anterior and posterior margins. Elytra 0.53 mm long, 0.43 mm wide, more finely punctured than pronotum, pubescence as pronotum.
Female: spermatheca Fig. 84
Male: not known
Etymology. This epithet is taken from the Latin adjective pilosum, meaning hairy, and refers to the long pubescence present on the head, pronotum and elytra of this species.
Remarks. Distinguishable by the long pubescence and the form of the spermatheca which is smaller than all others studied.

Male: aedeagus Fig.98
Female: unknown.
Etymology. This epithet is taken from the Latin adjective longulus, meaning rather long, and refers to the long antennomere 11.
Remarks. Immediately distinguishable by the very long bar to the dumb-bell shaped antennomere 11, a character which is shared by only one other species, D. dolorosum, from which it may be separated by the less hooked form of the aedeagus which lacks a narrowed tip, and by the less angled lateral margins of the pronotum. If the females are sexually dimorphic and have a shorter antennomere 11 (cf. Cissidium banari sp. n.) they may be present amongst those associated with the males from the same site assigned to the morphologically similar D. fabrum.

Pseudosparna

description: Pseudosparna Mermudes & Monné gen. nov.
Type-species: Pseudosparna luteolineata Mermudes & Monné sp. nov.
Description. Form small, elongate. Head moderately prominent; eyes finely granulate; upper lobes narrow, separated by, at least, five times width of one lobe; lower lobes almost as long as genae. Antennal tubercles slightly elevate. Antennae slender, 11 segmented. Scape elongate, slightly dilated towards apex, with sparse hairs on ventral surface; segment 3 subequal to scape; 4 about as long as 3, segments from 5 gradually shortened; 11, 1.5 times as long as 10. Prothorax with parallel sides, with a tubercle at posterior third of each side. Prosternal and mesosternal processes very narrow, about 1/5 as wide as pro- and mesocoxae, respectively. Elytra elongate, parallel-sided, about three times as long as width across humeri; with short setae on entire surface or only at posterior half of lateral margins; without basal tubercle or carinae; apices acuminate, outer angles spinose. Anterior coxae rounded and prominent. Femora elongate, fusiform or subclavate. First segment of posterior tarsus as long as two following together.
Etymology. Pseudo means false, and Sparna, a genus of the tribe Colobotheini. Gender feminine.
Remarks. This genus is characterized by the prothorax with lateral tubercles at basal third; pronotum without tubercles; elytra elongate, about three times as long as the humeral width, without longitudinal carinae or median crista near base; with setae on the entire elytral surface or restricted to the posterior half of the external margins; prosternal and mesosternal processes very narrow; and the first segment of metatarsi as long as the two following combined. Pseudosparna is related to Piezochaerus Melzer, 1932, but differs by the elongate scape, which is slightly dilated towards the apex; and by the structure of the prosternal and mesosternal processes, which are very narrow. In Piezochaerus the scape is not dilated towards the apex, and the intercoxal processes are half as wide as the respective coxae. Pseudosparna also has a superficial similarity with Sparna Thomson, 1864, a genus of the tribe Colobotheini, but the elytra are not expanded toward the apices, and lack the dorsal and epipleural longitudinal carinae.

Description. Male. Integument dark brown; prosternum and basal half of femora yellowish. Body with predominance of dark-brown pubescence. Yellow pubescence covering head, antennal segment 4, ventral surface of profemora, and forms a longitudinal vitta on each side of pronotum, which continues along the elytra without reaching apices. Antenna exceeding elytral apices by four segments; segment 3 with sparse setae beneath. Lateral tubercles of prothorax obtuse, each with a shallow, dorsal depression at base. Pronotum with two rows of sparse punctures on basal fourth. Elytra entirely, sparsely setose; elytral apices obliquely truncated, outer angles slightly projected in a stout spine. Protarsi densely fringed with short hairs at sides. Abdomen with urotergite 5 rounded at apex, urosternite 5 semicircularly emarginated.
Female. Similar to male, differing by the protarsi without short hairs at sides, and urosternite 5 dentate at outer angles.
Measurements (mm), male/female. Total length, 6.5–9.0/6.0–8.3; prothorax length, 1.0–1.8/0.9–1.2; prothorax width, 1.0–1.9/1.1–1.5; elytral length, 5.0–6.5/4.8–6.6; humeral width, 1.2–2.0/1.2–1.8.
