Figures 19 G–L, 20
Type. Male holotype from Tabay Mucuy (8°34'N 71°3'W), Sendero a la Laguna El Suero, Mérida, Venezuela, 2700 m asl, 19.vi–24.vii.1989, S. Peck & J. Peck, deposited in AMNH.
Additional material examined. VENEZUELA: Mérida: La Montaña, cable car station (8°10'N 71°35'W), 2442 m asl., 28–25.ii.1968, P & B. Wygodzinsky, M. Cormons, 1♂ left palp for SEM (AMNH). ULA Biological Reserve La Carbonera (8°38'N 71°22'W), 20 km. SE of Azulita, 2300 m asl., 28.vi–3.viii.1989, S. Peck & J. Peck, 1♂ (AMNH).
Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition, derived from the type locality.
Diagnosis. Males resemble those of M. ramirezi n. sp. in having the dorsal abdomen with unremarkable pattern of very fine lines, almost unnoticeable, forming four or five chevrons along a longitudinal line, but in M. tabay n. sp. this longitudinal line reaches the pedicel (Fig. 20 A). Can be further distinguished by their longer embolus (over three times the greatest diameter of the bulb) (Figs 19 G, 20D–E).
Description. Male (holotype): Total length 4.9. Carapace 2.3 long, 2.0 wide. Sternum 1.9 long, 1.7 wide. Leg measurements: I: 2.4; II: 2.4; III: 2.2; IV: 2.6. Carapace dark orange. Chelicerae, palps and legs orange; coxae and trochanters orange. Endites light orange, labium and sternum orange. Abdomen dark gray with unremarkable pattern of very fine lines, almost unnoticeable forming four or five chevron along a long longitudinal line, that reaching the pedicel (Fig. 20 A). Anal tubercle and spinnerets lighter than abdomen. Crista short, gladius with the common shape among nopine. Palp with a spherical oval bulb, embolus longer than cymbium (Figs 19 G, 20D–E), tip of embolus slightly curved, stout, with truncate opening and a pointed projection (Figs 19 J–K).
Female: Unknown
Distribution. Known only from Mérida province in Venezuela (Fig. 21).

Macrochiridothea aff. lilianae. — Jaramillo, 1982: 185, fig. 8.
Material. Mehuín and Muicolpué, Chile, IZUA (11 specimens, 9.3–11.7 mm).
Diagnosis. Total body length of male 11.7 mm. Dorsal surface of head, pereon and pleotelson smooth. Lateral lobes on head rounded. Coxa 6 reaching posteriorly to pleonite 3. Antenna 1 peduncle, article 2 without anterodistal prolongation.
Distribution. Mehuín and Muicolpué, Chile, 39°S–41°S.
Remarks. Jaramillo (1982) briefly diagnosed a Chilean species similar to the Brazilian species, M. lilianae. He did not specify what he saw as the differences from M. lilianae. The male was illustrated in dorsal and lateral view, plus the antenna 1, pereopod 1 and appendix masculina. The male of this Chilean species is twice as long as the Brazilian M.lilianae, the head is relatively broader and it possesses a longer coxa 6.

Nemapogon Schrank, 1802: 167. Type species: Phalaena granella Linnaeus, 1758. Brosis Hübner, 1822: 68. Type species: Phalaena granella Linnaeus, 1758.
Diaphthirusa Hübner, 1825: 404. Type species: Phalaena granella Linnaeus, 1758.
Petalographis Zagulajev, 1962: 330. Type species: Nemapogon orientalis Petersen, 1961. Anemapogon Zagulajev, 1963: 425. Type species: Tinea quercicolella Zeller, 1852.
Paranemapogon Zagulajev, 1964: 339. Type species: Tinea fungivorella Benander, 1939. Longiductus Zagulajev, 1964: 369. Type species: Phalaena picarella Clerck, 1759.
General characters: Forewings cryptic bark-patterned; male valvae with an elongate digitiform, setose process arising from inner surface near costa, and juxta fused with inner surface of valvae; female sternum VIII somewhat U-shaped, ductus bursae frequently with internal lepidote sculpturing and a spiculose ring close to the junction with corpus bursae.
Biology: Larvae of the genus feed on the fruiting body of the persistent bracket-fungi or in the dead wood, bark, old excrescences on trees, stumps, etc., which have been penetrated by the fungal mycelia. Some species, for example, N. cloacella and N. variatella infest stored plant materials such as seeds, flour grain, grain products, dried fruits and fungi (Zagulajev 1964; Robinson and Nielsen 1993).
Distribution: The genus is distributed mainly throughout the Holarctic Region except for a few species occurring in the Oriental Region, North Africa and Australia.
Remarks: Robinson and Nielsen (1993) provided a detailed generic diagnosis. However, we find some exceptions. The male uncus is fully separated in N. agnathosella Gaedike, 2000, but joined with each other at the base in N. bidentata sp. nov.; the male gnathos is reduced to small, inconspicuous sclerites in N. mesoplaca (Meyrick, 1919) and N. bidentata sp. nov., but absent in N. agnathosella. The female ductus bursae lacks the spiculose ring close to the junction with the corpus bursae in N. mesoplaca and N. bidentata sp. nov. In the generic description, the uncus is fused medially, the gnathos is flattened, robust and usually Vshaped, and the spiculose ring is present in the ductus bursae.

Type. Holotype male (Tel-Aviv University, Israel), not examined: Mount Carmel, 6.III.1971, J. Kugler.
Material examined. ISRAEL: Kefar Shemuel, 25.III.1968, S. Bleszynski, allotype female (CNCI).
Diagnosis. Mouthparts terminating approximately at apex of fore coxa, male tergite 9 without posterolateral or submedian lobes and gonocoxites posteromedially drawn out into a pair of finger-like lobes each bearing several setae. Within the Palearctic region, females can be distinguished by having yellow coxae and mouthparts shorter (terminating approximately at apex of fore coxa) than A. nigrum.
Comments. Male terminalia have been figured by Chandler (1994, figs. 17–18) and Matile (1974, figs. 1–2; reprinted by Matile 1975, as figs. 7–8). Female terminalia were illustrated by Matile (1975, fig. 10) and the male head by Chandler (1994, fig. 22).
Distribution. Israel.

Distribution. Bhutan, India (N, NE), Nepal.
Remarks. Chen & Nieser 1993 b noted that the lateral sclerites are indistinct and in the illustration of the endosoma of M. nepalensis the first pair of the lateral sclerites are missing and a small accessory sclerite is present (Chen & Nieser 1993 b, Fig. 199); however, both the pairs of the endosomal sclerites are present and the apical accessary sclerite is absent as per den Boer (1965) (see Figs. 34, 35). So a careful study of type materials or materials from type locality would help in the better understanding of the characteristics of M. nepalensis. The correct spelling of the place ‘Soondrijal’ mentioned in den Boer 1965 is Sundarijal located in the Kathmandu District of Nepal.

Distribution: Philippines, Mindanao Island.
Description. Measurements: LB: 16.8; LE: 9.0; WE: 7.0; LP: 5.1; WP: 5.3; LR: 2.4; WR: 2.5.
Habitus dorsally as in Fig. 4A; laterally as in Fig. 4B.
Body and legs black; body surface with pale greenish, shiny scale spots. Head black, massive, latteraly under eyes, on genae and on lateral side of rostrum with wide green scales. Eyes not convex, black. Rostum with band of transverse scales on apical bulge, with deep transverse medial depression. Antenna black, antennal scape short, remaining antenomeres with short sparse pubescence and long setae, apical antennomere club-shaped.
Pronotum massive, subspherical, widest before middle, with very fine sparse punctation, in median portion with transverse line which circumscribe latteraly two bare black spots and one longitudinal line of pale scales. Longitudinal line extending straigth to basal margin of pronotum and forming triangular of pale green scales.
Elyrta with several longitudinal and median transverse line of pale scales crossing longitudinal lines; basal part of each elytron with two or three short lines and four long lines, extending to apical margin of elytron, four short lines at apical part of each elytron.
Legs wide, with strong clavate femori. Tibiae strongly incurved apically. Middle femori covered with short setae and scales along posterior margins. Tibiae with sparse pubescence and long setae.
Scutellum small, rounded apically.
Aedeagus elongate, in lateral view curved. Lamella strongly elongalte, subtriangular, slightly rounded apically (Fig. 4E, F).
Male unknown.
Differential diagnosis. Pachyrhynchus elenae sp. n. is similar in general apperance to P. phaleratus Waterhouse, 1841 (Fig. 4C, D). The new species is easily distinguished from P. phaleratus by the shape of aedeagus, which is longer and less curved lateraly and by the bigger number of longitudinal lines on each elytron (Fig. 4G, H). Pronotum of P. elenae sp. n. widest before the midian part (pronotum of P. phaleratus widest in the middle).
Etymology. This species is named after my mother, Elena Zubko (Daugavpils, Latvia) in appreciation of support.

Lithobius erythrocephalus mohelensis Dobroruka 1959: 105, tab., figs 3, 4
Type locality. Mohelenská hadcová step National Nature Reserve (NNR) (= Serpentine Steppe of Mohelno), Moravia, Czech Republic
Type specimens. The original description of L. e. mohelensis was based on 48 individuals (29 ɗ, 19 Ψ), coll. Dobroruka.
Material examined. 2 ɗ and 1 Ψ with the rest of a label reading “ mohelensis n. spp.” from Dobroruka’s “ type collection”. The material was dried up and mildewed, now in alcohol.
Remarks. This taxon was described in Dobroruka’s paper on Lithobius erythrocephalus C.L. Koch, 1847 (Dobroruka 1962) and it has never been recorded since then. The differences from the nominal subspecies were stated as lying in the larger size (19–22 mm), the weak sulci on the 14th and 15th male tibiae and the very smooth female spurs.
The re-examined material was badly damaged, as almost all the legs were broken off. However, part of the 15th male leg was recognized and a very shallow sulcus was evident on the tibia. The length of these specimens is only 12–15 mm, yet the body may have become contracted as a result of drying up. In L. erythrocephalus C.L. Koch, 1847, Eason (1972) mentioned intrapopulation variability of the male secondary sexual characters on both last pairs of legs. In addition, there are no differences between the shape of female spurs on the gonopods as depicted by Dobroruka (1959: 105) and Eason (1972: 143). Eason (1972) noted that the shape of the tibia of male legs is not a valid character for establishing any subspecies.
Taxonomic note. We consider Lithobius erythrocephalus mohelensis Dobroruka, 1959 as a junior subjective synonym of Lithobus erythrocephalus C.L. Koch, 1847, syn. n.

description: Monotarsobius homolaci Dobroruka, 1971
Monotarsobius homolaci Dobroruka 1971: 262, fig. 2
Type locality. Spišská Magura Mts, 1100–1200 m a.s.l., beech leaf litter, Slovak Republic.
Type specimens. The original description of M. homolaci was based on the holotype (ɗ) and 1 paratype (Ψ), NMP collection.
Material examined. Holotype from the NMP collection.
Remarks. Material of M. homolaci was collected by Dobroruka in different places of Slovakia. Beside the type material, Dobroruka (1971) referred to this species another 37 specimens (22 ɗ, 15 Ψ) from some other localities in the Spišská Magura Mts, as well as from the Belanské Tatry Mts. He also mentioned 1 ɗ from the Little Carpathians and 1 Ψ from the environs of the town of Bardejov, suggesting an even wider distribution of M. homolaci in Slovakia.
This species was established based on the combination of the low number of ocelli (2–4), the antennae with a high number of articles (28–35), the last legs with the spinulation pattern of D: 0,0,2,0,0 and V: 0,1,2,1,0, and with doubled claws. However, the re-examined holotype showed 5 ocelli. The last 2 pairs of legs are thickened. The spinulation of the 14th legs was D: 0,0,2,0,0 and V: 0,1,2,1,0, this being identical to the pattern observed in Lithobius burzenlandicus Verhoeff, 1931 (cf Matic 1966). L. burzenladicus differs in the presence of the 15th DC spine, but this character appears to be variable in some populations, for example in Lithobius burzenlandicus carinthiacus Koren, 1992 (Koren 1992). Since L. burzenlandicus has 3–6 ocelli and 24–38 antennomeres, both Dobroruka’s description and all the characters noted by us during the re-examination of the holotype are in accordance with the diagnosis of L. (S.) burzenladicus Verhoeff, 1931.
Taxonomic note. Monotarsobius homolaci Dobroruka, 1971 is a junior subjective synonym of Lithobius (Sigibius) burzenladicus Verhoeff, 1931, syn. n.

description: Lithobius magurensis Dobroruka, 1971
Lithobius magurensis Dobroruka 1971: 261 –262, fig. 1
Type locality. Spišská Magura Mts, Slovak Republic
Type specimens. The original description of L. magurensis was based on the holotype (ɗ), in the NMP collection, and 1 paratype (Ψ), mentioned as deposited in the collection of Dobroruka.
Material examined. The holotype was restudied. Neither the paratype nor the other specimens of this species referred to in the original descriptions were found in Dobroruka’s collection.
Remarks. Apart from the type material, only 3 Ψ of L. magurensis were recorded by Dobroruka in the Podyjí NP, Czech Republic. The diagnosis of this species was based on a combination of the following characters: tergites without projections, a single claw on the last legs, and several specific sexual features of the 14th and 15th male legs. These were a dorsal sulcus on the 14th femur and a swelling with a tuft of setae on the 14th tibia. The tibia of the 15th leg was stated as being flattened, with a sulcus on the femur as well. However, the re-examined holotype differed fundamentally from Dobroruka’s description. The spinulation of the 14th legs is D: 1,0,3,1,1 instead of 1,0,1-2,0-1,0 while the spinulation of the 15th legs is D: 1,0,3,0,0 instead of 1,0,2,1,0. The 14th tibia shows a thin sulcus, as well as a swelling. In addition, the head is broad, resembling that of L. muticus C.L. Koch, 1847. The spinulation pattern found falls well within the variation range of L. muticus as described by Latzel (1880), Eason (1964) and Koren (1992). Although thin sulci are not commonly met with in the available descriptions of this species, specimens of L. muticus from Central Europe, at least those from the Czech Republic, do show these characters (cf Folkmanová 1959).
Two Ψ in the material from the SMMZ collection identified and labelled by Dobroruka as L. magurensis are in fact 1 Ψ of L. muticus and 1 immature ɗ of Eupolybothrus tridentinus (Fanzago, 1874).
Taxonomic note. We consider Lithobius magurensis Dobroruka, 1971 as a junior subjective synonym of Lithobius muticus C.L. Koch, 1847, syn. n.
