Australophiotaenia

description: Australophiotaenia sp. 9
Host. Carpet or diamond python, Morelia spilota (Lacépède, 1801) (Ophidia: Pythonidae).
Distribution. Australia (Victoria).
Material studied. Two fragmented specimens with two scoleces from M. spilota, from Australia (no locality) 2.12.1964 (SAM 5735), one fragmented specimen without scolex from M. spilota from Melbourne Zoo, 31.5.1971 (SAM 9049).
Remarks. Tapeworms from Morelia spilota are characterised by the presence of a large apical organ (190 µm
wide, representing 18% of the sucker width) within the pyramidal apex of the scolex (scolex 1040 wide and 850 long), strongly sinuous osmoregulatory canals, postequatorial genital pore (62–70% of the length of the proglottid), the vagina always anterior to the cirrus-sac, and eggs in clusters.

Australophiotaenia

description: Australophiotaenia sp. 10
Syn. Ichthyotaenia sp. of Johnston (1910)
Host. Lowland copperhead, Denisonia superba (Günther, 1858) [now Austrelaps superbus (Günther, 1858)] (Ophidia: Elapidae).
Distribution. Australia (Sydney).
Material studied. None.
Remarks. Johnston (1910) reported this cestode as Ichthyotaenia sp. from D. superba in the Sydney District. In 1912, he stated that the cestodes were conspecific with those found in Pseudechis australis— see Johnston (1912). However, this assumption was based only on the morphological similarity of tapeworms from both hosts. Based on the presumably strict host specificity of species of Australophiotaenia in Australia, this cestode may also represent another species. No voucher material is known to exist.

Syn. Proteocephalus sp. of Johnston (1912)
Host. Northern black snake Pseudechis australis (Gray) (Ophidia: Elapidae).
Distribution. Australia (Queensland).
Material studied. None.
Remarks. Johnston (1912) reported Proteocephalus sp. from P. australis from Eidsvold, Burnett River, Queensland, stating it is not conspecific with P. gallardi (= A. gallardi), but assumed it is the identical species as that reported as Ichthyotaenia sp. by Johnston (1910) from Denisonia superba. However, the same author (Johnston, 1913) assigned all tapeworms to P. gallardi (see also de Chambrier & de Chambrier, 2010). No voucher material is known to exist.

Say-on-pay and financial reporting quality: Evidence from Australia
Creators: name: Downe, Michael Geoffrey
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent decades, policymakers around the world have introduced say-on-pay (SOP) laws to give shareholders a voice in setting executive compensation. This thesis examines the impact of Australia’s SOP regime — the so-called ‘two-strikes’ rule — on the quality of financial reporting. The findings suggest that under certain conditions, the incidence of a ‘strike’ (i.e., 25 percent or more votes against the remuneration report) can erode financial reporting quality, highlighting an unintended consequence of SOP voting. In addition to its scholarly contribution, this thesis has practical implications for investors, regulators, auditors and other corporate stakeholders.

Description. Male: Differs from the nominal subspecies as follows: Thorax and abdomen more densely dark greyish rather than bluish grey pruinose; tergites III and IV with paired dark marks larger and more distinct; calypteres ochre rather than brown. Female: Very similar to females of the nominal subspecies except for greyish abdominal pruinosity (Fig. 4B) forming tessellating bronze-black reflections.
Distribution. Endemic to La Palma.
Taxonomic notes. The population of Helina obscurisquama from La Palma differs significantly in colour from the populations on Tenerife and La Gomera. As no structural differences were found in the male terminalia or externally I suggest that these allopatric colour forms are treated as different subspecies.

Description. Medium to large sized, wing length 5.5–8.0 mm. The present species matches in most respects the description of Helina obscurisquama s. str. given above. Accordingly, the following description gives only differences from that species. Male: Abdomen (Fig. 2E) with bluish grey abdominal pruinosity even sparser, largely obscuring the usual paired dark marks on tergites III and IV. Eyes more widely separated by frons (Fig. 2D), distance at narrowest point 2.5‒3 times diameter of anterior ocellus; frontal vitta at this point 1‒2 times as wide as fronto-orbital plate (in H. obscuriscuama frons at this point with contiguous fronto-orbital plates and distance between eyes equals the diameter of anterior ocellus). Hind tibia (Fig. 2F) with 5‒7 long and curved av and 2‒7 similar ad setae supplemented by finer setae and longish setulae in anterior position; preapical dorsal seta erect, often longer than second hind tarsomere. Abdomen (Fig. 2E) relatively slender, ovoid; sternite V and hypopygium (Figs 3D, E) more prominent due to larger hypopygium. Female: Differs from the very similar female of H. obscurisquama by the bluish rather than brownish tinge of the thorax, making it concolorous with the abdomen.
Distribution. Endemic to Gran Canaria.

Helina lundbladi Tiensuu; Tiensuu 1938: 7 (Madeira); Hennig 1958: 193ff. (Madeira); Hennig 1978: 5 (Madeira).
Material examined. MADEIRA: [MZH]. Type material (syntypes 2♁, 2♀): Rabaçal, 1080m, 1♁, 2♀ 17.vii– 4.viii.1935 (O. Lundblad); Caramujo, 1250m, 1♁ 6–14.viii.1935 (O. Lundblad).
Description. Large, wing length 7.0– 8.5mm (n = 4), sturdy species (Fig. 5A). Male: Ground colour mainly dark except ochre yellow to yellow on basal parts of antenna, on palpus and on distal third to half of femora and on all tibiae; thorax and abdomen rather shiny through thin cover of bluish-grey pruinosity; mesonotal dark striping barely visible; abdomen without any pattern except for a narrow dorsal stripe. Male eyes with moderately long and dense pile. Longest aristal branches c. as long as width of postpedicel. Male frons narrowed to half diameter of anterior ocellus. Dorsocentral setae 2 + 4; acrostichal field with 3 presutural and 3 postsutural pairs of setae among the numerous ground setulae; notopleuron without setulae; prealar seta fully as long as anterior notopleural seta; katepisternal setae 1 + 2; meron with fine setulae confined to a patch beneath posterior spiracle; scutellum bare at lower lateral margin, but with some setulae immediately below lateral setae. Vein C extensively setulose dorsally. Fore tibia with 1 p seta; mid tibia with 0 ad and 2–3 p setae; hind femur with 4–5 fine pv setae in basal half; hind tibia with 2–3 fine av and 2 ad setae, without a pd seta in basal third or comb of fine p setae. Abdomen broadly ovoid; sternite V and hypopygium as in Figs 5B–D. Female: Apart from usual sexual differences of the head and abdomen differing from the male by the eye pile shorter and less dense and acrostichal setae confined to 3–4 pairs in front of the suture.
Distribution. Endemic to Madeira.
Taxonomic notes. Hennig (1958, 1978) considered H. lundbladi as most closely related to the Canarian H. obscurisquama. I agree that H. lundbladi belongs to the Helina evecta species group, that also includes the Canarian endemic species H. obscurisquama and H. grancanariae, because they all share a sturdy body, pilose eyes and the presence of setulae on meron and lateral declivities of the scutellum. However, H. lundbladi differs substantially from other species of this species-group by the presence of acrostichal setae, long prealar seta, presence of setulae dorsally on vein C and the absence of setulae along the hind margin of meron and along lower lateral margin of scutellum.

Material examined. [NHMD]: Large sample of males and females from: Austria, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Spain and Sweden.
Diagnosis. Medium to large sized, wing length reaching 8.0 mm. Body covered in dense light greyish pruinosity obscuring usual pattern of dark stripes on mesonotum; paired dark marks on the abdomen (Fig. 10A) small, sometimes only present on tergite III or (some females) absent altogether; all tibiae and tips of femora yellow in both sexes. Male frons at narrowest point nearly as wide as ocellar triangle, frontal vitta at this point distinct but less than one-third as wide as frons. Prealar seta one-half to nearly as long as posterior notopleural seta. Fore tibia with 1(‒2) p setae near middle. Sternite V and hypopygium as in Figs 10B–D.
Taxonomic note. It is now evident that the existing records of Helina quadrum (Fabricius) from the Canary Islands are based on misidentifications of either H. reversio or H. santosabreui.

description: Genus Caulleriella Chamberlin, 1919
Type species: Cirratulus viridis Langerhans, 1881, original designation by Chamberlin 1919.
Diagnosis. Prostomium elongate; peristomium short to elongate, dorsal tentacles usually beginning anterior to setiger 1. Middle body segments not beaded; parapodia with noto- and neuropodia widely separated from one another. Modified setae including bidentate, crotchet-like hooks, not arranged into modified cinctures.
Remarks. Species of Caulleriella are among the easier bitentaculate cirratulids to identify. Unlike other bitentaculates, the noto- and neuropodia are widely separated from one another on each setiger and bidentate hooks are present in at least the neuropodia somewhere along the body. Species of Caulleriella species, however, have rarely been reported from deep-sea habitats. Caulleriella bathytata n. sp. reported here represents the deepest known occurrence for the genus.

Tharyx

description: Genus Tharyx Webster & Benedict, 1887. Emended, Blake 1991
Type species: Tharyx acutus Webster & Benedict, 1887, by monotypy.
Diagnosis. (after Blake 2018). Prostomium conical; peristomium elongate, with pair of grooved dorsal tentacles arising on posterior margin; first pair of branchiae typically arising immediately posterior to dorsal tentacles either on posterior margin of peristomium or on setiger 1; abdominal segments sometimes beadlike. Noto- and neurosetae arising close to one another, not widely separated. Setae include simple capillaries in anterior and middle setigers, acicular spines present in posterior setigers either in both noto- and neuropodia or only in neuropodia. Long, natatory-like setae present or absent. Spines typically short, curved, sometimes geniculate or sickle-shaped, narrowing to rounded irregularly notched or sub-bidentate tip; tips with pair of stunted or rounded knobs but not with two distinct teeth. Capillaries may accompany posterior spines or are absent, not alternating with spines when present. Pygidium with terminal anus and small ventral lobe or disk. Several species with black pigment markings on posterior lateral margin of peristomium.
Remarks. Following the revision by Blake (1991), species of Tharyx were restricted to those having knobtipped or sub-bidentate acicular spines. Species having simple and serrated capillaries that were formerly included in Tharyx were moved to the genera Aphelochaeta and Monticellina (now Kirkegaardia), respectively. The status of the genus Tharyx and additional species were recently described by Blake & Göransson (2015) and Blake (2018) bringing the total number of known Tharyx species to 15. One new species has been identified from the CCFZ collections and is here described.

Alyculus kurbatovi Kazantsev, 1999: 253.
Material examined. Male. Indonesia, W Java, Puncak Pass, 1250–1600 m, 10 m of Cipanas, 8.–20. Oct. 2002, Bolm lgt. (Voucher number UPOL 000543, LMBC).
Diagnosis. A. kurbatovi resembles in coloration A. tujuhensis sp. nov. and differs in the absence of the longitudinal pronotal keel and the shape of antennae (Figs 4–5, 7–8).
Redescription. Body tiny, dark brown to black. Head small, hypognathous, cranium with very fine microstructure, shiny, with sparse long pubescence. Eyes large, hemispherically prominent, eye diameter 1.10 times interocular distance. Antennae moderately robust, antennomere 1 long, 2 very small, approximately as long as wide, antennomeres 3 to 4 slightly compressed, antennomere 3 narrowed at base, slightly wider and parallelsided in distal half, 1.8 times longer than width at apex (Fig. 8), subsequent antennomeres becoming gradually more slender, becoming less compressed, parallel-sided. Mouthparts with reduced mandibles, labrum minute, terminal palpomere of maxillary palpi apically pointed. Pronotum strongly transverse, widest at basal margin, 1.81 times longer than width at posterior margin, anterior margin rounded, lateral margins slightly concave, and basal margin bisinuate, posterior angles acutely prominent; pronotum without any keels or costae, punctures larger along midline, fine in remaining part of disc (Fig. 5). Scutellum bilobed apically, distal tips slender, projected obliquely backwards (Fig. 5). Elytra without costae, shortened, tapering to apex, distal portion rounded. Elytra densely covered with minute papillae bearing setae, which form dense, long pubescence, elytra without costae or reticulate cells. Legs slender. Male genitalia with short phallus, paramerae widest at basal third (Fig. 9).
Measurements. Body length: 2.7 mm, pronotal length 0.26 mm, pronotal width: 0.47 mm, length of elytra: 0.98 mm, frontal interocular distance 0.142 mm, maximum eye diameter in lateral view 0.158 mm.
Distribution. Indonesia: Java, Mt. Gede, Puncak Pass.
Remark. The figure of male genitalia was redrawn from Kazantsev (1999) and shows very unusual shape of phallobase and a strange structure at the base of phallus (Fig. 9). Unfortunately, we have not a chance to check these structures as the abdomen of the second known specimen was used for DNA isolation. The shape of phallobase in other species is similar and concerning the variability of phallobase in other net-winged beetles we did not use phallobases in differential diagnoses.

Antennae slender, filiform, antennomere 1 long, 2 very small, approximately as long as wide (Fig. 7), antennomere 3 parallel-sided, 2.2 times longer than width, subsequent antennomeres becoming gradually more slender. Mouthparts with mandibles reduced, labrum minute, maxillary palpi 4-segmented, apically pointed. Pronotum transverse, widest at basal margin, anterior and lateral margins almost straight, posterior margin bisinuate, projected in middle, posterior angles acutely prominent; strong longitudinal keel along midline reaches five sixths of pronotal length, pronotal disc with dense irregular punctures (Fig. 4). Scutellum bilobed apically, distal tips projected obliquely backwards. Elytra without costae, shortened, tapering to apex, distal portion rounded. Elytra densely covered with minute papillae bearing fine setae, elytra without costae or reticulate cells. Legs slender. Male genitalia with slender phallus, parameres widest at basal third (Fig. 10).
Measurements. Body length 1.65 mm, pronotal width 0.41 mm, pronotal length 0.24 mm, length of elytra 0.9 mm, maximum eye diameter in lateral view 0.137 mm, minimum frontal eye distance 0.121mm.
Distribution. Sumatra: Jambi Province, Gunung Tujuh.
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the local name Gunung Tujuh, where the species occurs.

(Figs 1–2, 46)
In 2011 a single male was collected at the hilltop while resting on the underside of a leaf about seven meters above the ground, around 18:00h. In 2014 three males were collected in a same day resting on the underside of leaves in the same tree from the record of 2011 around 16:00h.
This rare species was described from Trinidad (Smart 1979) and further recorded in French Guiana (Brévignon & Gallard 1995). The Brazilian specimens of A. alstonii have a dark orange color, like the French Guiana specimens; however, the light blue spot on the upperside of the forewing is larger than the French Guiana specimen (Brévignon & Gallard 1995) and the holotype.

In 2013 three males were collected exhibiting hilltoping behavior one meter from the ground around 15:00h. In 2014 more three specimens were collected exhibiting the same behavior and at the same time observed on 2013. The specimens from PNSD are more similar to the type of A. nurtia ludibunda Brévignon & Gallard, 1995 than the nominative subspecies. They differ from the latter by the reduced orange markings, blue patch thinner on the forewing upperside, and the reduced blue markings in both wings underside. Specimens from PNSD are slightly different of the holotype of A. nurtia ludibunda in size and shape of the blue patch of forewing upperside, even though, no differences were observed in the morphology of the genitalia.

A single male belonging this species was collected in 2014 flying about five meters from the ground around 13:00h in the same place and time where males of Alesa rothschildi (Seitz, 1913) were found.
This species was described from Bogotá, Colombia based on a male and a female deposited at the BMNH. Apparently the record from PNSD is the second for this species and the first one for Brazil. As suggested by Hall & Willmott (1995) A. pulchra is probably close ally to A. sticheli (Talbot, 1929), a species only known from French Guiana (Hall & Willmott 1995, Brévignon & Gallard 1995). In fact the specimen found in PNSD has a upperside pattern of both wings similar to A. pulchra whereas the aspect of the blue spots of both wings underside is similar to A. sticheli. Based on these differences, it would be possible that the specimen from PNSD represents an undescribed taxon, however, considering that the male genitalia remains unknown for both A. pulchra and A. sticheli the description of the specimen from PNSD as new would be inadvisable.

Argyrogrammana bonita

description: Argyrogrammana bonita Hall & Willmott, 1995
(Figs 7–8, 49)
In 2013 three males of A. bonita were collected flying two meters from the ground around 15:00h; two of them at the same place where males of A. physis phyton (Stichel, 1911) were collected, but in a different time of the day (see below). The third specimen, an aberrant male, was collected at the same hour and place that A. aparamilla Hall & Willmott, 1995 was recorded in 2013 (see entry for A. aparamilla). In 2014 a single male of this species was found also flying about two meters of the ground around 15:00h.
This species was described from eastern Ecuador, from a place with similar elevation found at the PNSD. Argyrogramanna bonita is considered the most common “orange and blue” Argyrogrammana species in Ecuador (Hall & Willmott 1995). There are some minor differences between Ecuadorian specimens and the specimens caught at the PNSD: more developed orange markings on both wings upperside; the presence of orange thin lines surrounding the silvery-blue submarginal line on forewing; the reduced blue spots in forewing underside; and the presence of yellow markings surrounding some of the black spots in both wings underside. The male genitalia (Fig. 49) is similar to the illustration provided by Hall & Willmott (1995, fig. 18). The subapical blue spot in forewing underside is one of the main characters used to distinguish A. bonita from A. chicomendesi Gallard, 1995 (Hall & Willmott 1995). The forewing underside blue spot is always present and varies from a well-marked and developed to reduced (as in Fig. 8) in specimens collected at the PNSD. Additionally, the oval shape of the subapical blue patch of the forewing upperside and the morphology of the valva clearly distinguish A. bonita as a distinct species, although it is probably closely related to A. chicomendesi.
