Coleophora richtersveldi

description: Coleophora richtersveldi, sp. nov.
(Figs. 7, 41–43)
Holotype ♂ (GP Bldz 13539) “ RSA, Richtersveld | Numees | Helsklooft Gate, 9 - 12.X.2001 | leg. W. Mey, LF”, [S 28°17.58’ E 16°57.228’, 626 m], in coll. MfN.
Diagnosis. White species with a streak light ochre. The male genitalia resemble those of C. sclerisaccula Baldizzone, 2019, a species from South Africa with brown forewing and a large white costal streak. The differences in the genitalia are as follows: in C. richtersveldi the tegumen is less narrow in the middle, the transtilla is longer and thinner, the cucullus is longer, the valve is shorter with an almost straight lateral edge, the sacculus is much more expanded on the outside, the phallotheca is different, with two suboval and symmetrical juxta rods, the vesica is much longer and the cornuti are conspicuously smaller spines.
Description. Wingspan 15 mm. Head white. Antenna white, scape with short tuft of erect scales. Labial palpus short, completely white; second article about 0.5 times longer than third. Proboscis very short. Thorax and tegula white. Forewing white with irregular light ochre streak between costal edge and anal fold; costal cilia white, dorsal cilia light grey. Hindwing and cilia light grey. Abdomen white.
Abdominal structures (Fig. 43): Anterior lateral struts about twice as long as posteriors. Transverse strut thin, almost straight, well sclerotized. Tergal disks (3rd tergite) length about 2.5 times their width, covered with about 45 spines.
Male genitalia (Figs. 41–42): Gnathos knob globular. Tegumen slightly constricted in middle, pedunculus not expanded outwards. Transtilla thin and curved, sharp at apex. Valvula trapezoidal with lateral edge more sclerotized and ventral edge almost straight. Cucullus thin and elongated, wider at base. Sacculus with curved ventral edge well sclerotized, dorsal angle more sclerotized, with internal subtriangular fold and small pointed tooth at the apex. Phallotheca short with two symmetrical, dorsally humped juxta rods. Cornuti about 15 very small spines arranged in elongated row in long vesica.
Female genitalia: Unknown.
Bionomy. The early stages and the foodplant are unknown.
Distribution. RSA (prov. Northern Cape).
Etymology. The name derives from the place where the species was collected, the Richtersveld National Park.

Holotype ♂ (GP Bldz 14994) “ RSA, North. Cape | Kamieskroon | Farm Windhoek | 16.X.2007, leg. W. Mey ”, [S 30°11.103’ E 17°56.308’, 930 m], in coll. MfN.
Diagnosis. Small species of light appearance, with light brown forewing. The male genitalia are different from those of all known Afrotropical species in the stubby cucullus, rounded lateral expansion of the sacculus, and the long arcuate phallotheca which somewhat resembles that of some palearctic species, for example C. pilion (Falkovitsh, 1992) of southern Russia and Turkmenistan, from which it differs in other aspects of the genitalia.
Description. Wingspan 11 mm. Head white, frons light ochre tinged. Antenna: scape brown without erect scales; flagellum ringed light brown and dirty white. Labial palpus light ochre on outer side, mixed white and light ochre on inner side; third article about half length of second. Proboscis very short, normal shaped. Thorax and tegula white. Forewing light brown, white along costa up to 3/4, with dirty white streak along lower edge of cell and anal fold; streaks not sharp in appearance but suffused and not very evident; some brown scales scattered on wing; costal cilia white in terminal part of white band, then brown in apical part; costal cilia light grey. Hindwing and cilia light grey. Abdomen greyish brown.
Abdominal structures (Fig. 64): No posterior lateral struts. Transverse strut almost straight, thicker proximal edge in central part and thinner distal edge in central part and dilated in an oval shape on outer edges. Tergal disks (3 rd tergite) length about 3 times their width, covered with about 20–25 small spines.
Male genitalia (Figs. 62–63): Gnathos knob globular. Tegumen short and stocky, constricted in middle; pedunculus dilated on outside. Transtilla in shape of a ribbon, curved and rounded at apex. Valvula large, with rounded ventral edge and distal part expanded close to ventral half of cucullus. Cucullus short, larger at base. Sacculus curved and thick on ventral edge, expanded and rounded on lateral edge, with small, inconspicuous protuberance at dorsal angle. Phallotheca very long and thin, arched with one thicker and slightly longer juxta rod with curved thorn-like apex, other rod thinner with tip shorter and straight. No cornuti.
Female genitalia: Unknown.
Bionomy. The early stages and the foodplant are unknown.
Distribution. RSA (prov. Northern Cape).
Etymology. From Latin curvus [-a, -um] = curved, and phallus = penis. Due to the shape of phallotheca.

Diagnosis. Species of uniform beige appearance, forewing with a small dot in the cell. The male genitalia are different from all those of all known Afrotropical species. The phallotheca of C. notabilis resembles a little that of C. meyi Baldizzone & van der Wolf, 2004 in the recurved apex of the more robust juxta rod, but with obvious differences in the shorter length and the apical dilatation; the rest of the genital structure of C. meyi is completely different, especially in the long protuberance at the dorsal angle of the sacculus and the numerous cornuti gathered in a curved and elongate formation.
Description. Wingspan 12 mm. Head beige, white upper the eye. Antenna: scape beige without erect scales, flagellum ringed beige and dirty white. Labial palpus, almost completely hazelnut colour on both sides and white on upper surface; third article about half length of second. Proboscis short, normal shaped. Thorax and tegula beige. Forewing beige, with a few scattered brown dots in distal half, one of which is a little larger in cell; cilia beige. Hindwing light brown; cilia beige. Abdomen beige.
Abdominal structures (Fig. 68): No posterior lateral struts. Transverse strut thick, middle constricted. Tergal disks (3 rd tergite) length about 6 times their width, covered with about 20 small spines.
Male genitalia (Figs. 65–67): Gnathos knob globular. Tegumen constricted in middle, pedunculus very dilated on outside. Transtilla curved, thin at base, gradually expanded to rounded apex. Valvula sclerotized, with rounded ventral edge and robust and long setae in dorsal half. Sacculus curved and more sclerotized on ventral edge, narrow lateral edge, with rounded expansion at ventral angle and small round tooth at the dorsal one. Phallotheca with two juxta rods, longer one robust, pointed and folded back in apical 1/4; other rod shorter and straight, pointed, less sclerotized and divided into two parallel parts of different thickness in apical 1/3. Five short cornuti of different lengths clustered at their base.
Female genitalia: Unknown.
Bionomy. The early stages and the foodplant are unknown.
Distribution. RSA (prov. Western Cape).
Etymology. From Latin notabilis [- e] = remarkable. Due to the peculiar shape of the phallotheca.

Rhynchomicropteron

description: Genus Rhynchomicropteron Annandale, 1912
Type species: Rhynchomicropteron puliciforme Annandale, 1912
The Oriental genus Rhynchomicropteron currently includes 19 species which are mainly known from female specimens (Table 1) (Fig. 2). For more than 80 years, males of this genus were included in the genus Gymnoselia Schmitz, 1929, now a junior synonym of Rhynchomicropteron (Brown 1992). So far there is only a single species, R. nudiventer Papp, 1982 of which both sexes are known. There are two more species described based on males, but these may be conspecific with other species known from female sex only.
The sexual dimorphism is striking in this genus, but not unparalleled in the family Phoridae. The females have rudimentary wings, and eyes (composed by less than 20 ommatidia), strongly swollen abdomen with few or no sclerotised tergites, fully membranous sternites, and very long proboscis. On the contrary, the congeneric males look like a “usual” phorid (Fig. 3). This phenomenon is in connection with the different biology and habitat of the males and the females. Females live together with ants or termites (Disney 1999), while males are free living.
Males are usually much bigger than females and are supposedly able to lift up the flightless females and carry them to another ant colony. The circumstances of the capture of R. kuslitzkyi sp. n. confirm this supposition. In 2009 Dr. Amnon Freidberg (Tel-Aviv University, Israel) sent me wingless phorids from a Malaise trap. It was very improbable that the wingless females could climb up into the trap, they should be brought up by males or by phoresy, therefore the remaining trap material was sorted and 13 males were found.
It should be noted that the correct spelling in case of two species are Rhynchomicropteron muluense Disney, 1981 and R. nepalense Disney, 1991 (described as R. muluensis and R. nepalensis) according to the rules of ICZN (1999).
In the collection of Los Angeles County Museum, USA (LACM) and in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (HNHM) there are undescribed Rhynchomicropteron males from the following countries: Australia, Iran, Nigeria, Thailand, Nigeria, Malaysia—LACM; Taiwan, and Vietnam—HNHM.

description: Genus Microselia Schmitz, 1934
Type species: Microselia rivierae Schmitz, 1934
There are 12 described species of Microselia and the majority of them are known from the female sex only (Table 2). In the most recent keys for the European and the World phorid genera (Disney 1994, 1998) is not easy to identify males of Microselia. This is mainly because of the uncertain status of the presence of vein R2+3. In several Microselia species, vein R2+3 shows considerable individual variability, it can be present or absent in specimens of the same species (Disney & Shaw 1994). Carles-Tolrá (2006) investigated this phenomenon on M. espanaensis Disney, 2006 and on M. rivierae. He found that in some cases vein R2+3 can be found only on the left or on the right wing, therefore the presence or absence of vein R2+3 is not diagnostic for the genus. Until a revision of the generic keys I provide here diagnostic characters of the known Microselia males:
● first flagellomere (third antennal segment or postpedicel) pubescent, elongated and with a dorsal arista ● fifth tarsal segments somewhat elongated, longer than the fourth (but not so or even not pointed as in females) ● anepisternum (mesopleuron) bare, provided with a furrow
● epandrium with an elongated posterolateral lobe on the left side (the relative size of this lobe and number or the position of the setae on it is of specific importance)

(Figs 9 –12)
Description. Male. Head: frons (Fig. 9) brown. One pair of supraantennal setae present. Antials as far from the eye margin as from the median furrow. Antero-, medio-, and posterolaterals close to eye margin, mediolaterals closer to anterolaterals, than posterolaterals. Ocellar setae reclinate, close to each other. Many small setulae emerging on frons. Furrow around the ocellar triangle relatively deep. Palps yellowish, with four short setae. First flagellomere enlarged, reniform (Fig. 10). Thorax: brownish. Anepisternum bare. Scutellum with anterior pair of hair-like setulae and a posterior pair of setae. Legs: yellowish, pale. Last tarsal segments elongated, but only a slightly pointed. Hair palisade on mid tibia extends through the whole length. Wings: 1.1–1.2 mm long. Vein R2+3 absent or very faint, scarcely discernible (Fig. 11). Subcosta short, not reaching costa. Two axillary setae present. Haltera entirely pale. Abdomen: Abdominal tergites brown with light caudal margin. Few microtrichia on the tergites. Ventrally yellow and bare, without conspicuous sclerotized sternites. Anal tube yellowish, epandrium and hypandrium brown, covered by dense microtrichia (Fig. 12). Setae on cerci as long as those on epandrium.
Affinities. The male of M. rivierae is very similar in habitus to the female. It can be distinguished from the other Microselia species by the hair palisade on mid tibia which reaches the apical part of the segment and by the shape of left lobe of epandrium. The male specimens were collected together with a female (see faunistic data). Material examined. Israel: 1 3, Nizzanim, C1, 01.II.2004 C. Grach; 3, same but D1; 2 3, same but D7 (TAU).

(Fig. 51c)
Material examined. 1 ♀, “ UGANDA: Western Region, Kasese District, 9.5 km NWW Nyakalengija, Rwenzori Mts. National Park, main trail from John Matte Hut to Nyabitaba Hut, 0°21.97’N 29°57.58’E, accuracy 200 m, extent 15 m, h = 2800 m, Hagenia, Hypericum, Rubus, Impatiens, big gaps with bushes and grass, sifting leaf litter [3596] [Garmin 60CSx; WGS84] V.I. Gusarov, 17.viii.2008, U162” (ZMUN).
Remarks. This female is very similar in size and other characters to K. berndi sp. n., but has pronotum with much wider base and with sharper basal angles. In addition, it was collected almost 3 km downstream and about 600 m below from the localities of K. berndi sp. n. in the same valley (Fig. 51c). To clarify the status of this female specimen additional material, including males, is needed, but it is very likely that it belongs to a separate, still undescribed species.
Body length 3.9 mm, width 1.7 mm.
Proportions. PWmax/PL 1.34; EL/EW 1.44; EL/PL 2.69; EW/PWmax 1.43; HWmax/PWmax 0.76; HWmin/ PWmax 0.65; PWmax/PWmin 1.17; HWmax/HWmin 1.16.
