Hoffeinsodes

description: Hoffeinsodes Wagner, gen. nov.
Type species. Hoffeinsodes obtusa n. sp., by present designation.
Etymology. The new genus is dedicated to Christel and Hans Werner Hoffeins (Hamburg) who motivated the study of amber Bruchomyiinae, providing interesting specimens over many years. Gender is feminine.
Species included: H. obtusa sp. nov., H. bifida sp. nov., H. longicauda sp. nov., H. reducta sp. nov., H. cubicula sp. nov., H. hoffeinsi (Wagner, 2006).
Diagnosis. Bruchomyiinae with head in dorsal view about triangular, wide in front, narrower towards thorax; eyes oval, interocular distance approximately 8–10 facet diameters; antenna with scape, pedicel and 14 elongate flagellomeres; palpus 4-segmented. Wing with Sc terminating in C or R1, most species with sc-r or sc-c crossvein; radial fork distal of medial fork; M1+2 short or non-existing, M3 and M4 diverge at m-cu crossvein. Genitalia inverted by torsion of segments 7 and 8, gonocoxites and hypandrium fused to a large cross sclerite with the midsection overlapping gonostyli and parameres; gonostyli reduced in size, simple or bilobed, epandrium mostly cup-shaped, posterior strongly emarginate, posterolateral lobes prolonged, unarticulated; proctiger elongate tubular, large compared to other bruchomyiine genera, slightly sclerotized, extends from middle and inferior to the epandrial concavity; cerci small ovoidal.

Hoffeinsodes longicauda

description: Hoffeinsodes longicauda sp. nov.
(Figs. 3a–d, 8 c,d)
Etymology. The name refers to the long postepandrial lobes.
Diagnosis. Hoffeinsodes species, cross sclerite with median setose tip, gonostyli with sharp tip, posterolateral epandrium lobes very prolonged.
Material. Holotype male, no 1379- 6 in coll. Hoffeins.
Geological stratum. Baltic amber.
State of preservation. Specimen well conserved, head, thorax and abdomen recognizable. Right antennae complete, left with scape, pedicel and basal 3 flagellomeres. Palpi well preserved. Front and hind legs broken but positioned close to the specimen.
Syninclusions. Collembola, stellar hairs.
Description. Head with oval eyes, distance between eyes approx. 8-10 facet diameters. Antenna with scape, pedicel and 14 flagellomeres; relative length of scape, pedicel and flagellomeres: 12-15-76 -53-51-49-43-39-35-34- 31-27-25-22-21-23. Absolute length: 0.07-0.09-0.45-0.31-0.30-0.29-0.25-0.23-0.21-0.20-0.18-0.16-0.15-0.13- 0.12-0.14 mm. Palpus 4 segmented; relative length: 11-42-62-104; absolute length: 0.06-0.25- 0.36-0.61 mm.
Head length 0.36 mm. Length of thorax + abdomen, without genitalia 4.10 mm; genitalia 0.78 mm. Thorax with oval swellings above halters with basal rings of setae.
Wing length 3.59 mm. Sc ends in C with short sc-r crossvein at tip. First basal cell elongate sub-rectangular, extending to Sc tip. R2+3 arises from beyond middle of basal cell, R2 shorter than R2+3. R4 originates from front edge, R5 from middle of basal cell. M1+2 short, comes from hind edge of first basal cell. M3+4 launches basally of R2+3 from hind margin of first basal cell. Cross vein m-cu near fork M3/M4. CuA and CuP run parallel, both curved distally to hind wing margin.
Abdomen consists of 8 segments and genitalia. First segment narrower than segments 2–5; segment 7 damaged; inversion of genitalia by segments 7 and 8. Cross sclerite with a single median setose tip. Gonostyli simple, about rectangular with a ventral short hook at apex; aedeagus not discernable. Epandrium with long slightly bent posterolateral lobes, about twice as long as proctiger + cerci. Proctiger thinly sclerotized with blunt tip, distorted ventrally, cerci small oval setose.
Comments. Due to the presence of a cross sclerite the species is included in Hoffeinsodes. The species is distinguished from its congeners by the elongate lateral postepandrial lobes, the sclerite with a single median tip, and the specifically shaped gonostyli. The long postepandrial lobes reminds of the epandrial appendages of Phlebotominae.

Hoffeinsodes reducta

description: Hoffeinsodes reducta sp. nov.
(Figs. 4a–d)
Etymology. Name based due to the presumable absence of gonostyli.
Diagnosis. Hoffeinsodes species, cross sclerite with a single setose tip, gonostyli with sharp apex.
Material. Holotype male, no. 1379- 3 in coll. Hoffeins.
Geological stratum. Baltic amber.
State of preservation. Specimen poorly conserved, head, thorax and abdomen recognizable; palpi complete, antenna incomplete; right front femur, tibia and first tarsomere, and both hind legs maintained, another broken leg nearby.
Syninclusions. None.
Description. Head with oval eyes, distance between the eyes about 10 facet diameters. Only scape, pedicel and 1 st flagellomere conserved. Palpus 4 segmented; relative length: 20-33-52-103; absolute length: 0.12-0.19- 0.31- 0.61 mm.
Head length 0.28 mm. Length of thorax + abdomen 2.87 mm; length of genitalia 0.38 mm. Thorax with swellings above halters with basal rings of setae.
Wing length 3.68 mm. Sc ends in R1, sc-c not discerable. First basal cell elongate rectangular, extends to middle of wing. R2+3 originates at about middle of first basal cell, considerably longer than R2. R4 originates from front edge, R5 from middle, M1+2 from rear edge of first basal cell. M3 and M4 originate at close quarters at middle of second basal cell; m-cu crossvein short; CuA and CuP run parallel slightly curved to hind wing margin.
Abdomen with 8 segments and genitalia; first and 6th segments narrower than segments 2–5; genitalia inverted by segments 7 and 8; 7th segment appears less sclerotized than other segments. Genitalia with a large rectangular cross sclerite, hind margin setose. Gonostyli probably missing; aedeagus and parameres not clearly discernable; the lateral sclerites with sharp tips seem to be the parameres. Epandrium not clearly discernable but with strong lateral apically bent lobes; tip of proctiger with small oval setose partly visible cerci.
Distal to genitalia is a pair of petiolate spherical structures similar in shape and position to that of H. obtusa (periaedeagal sheath). Although the surface of the sheath is less well preserved, a connection towards the aedeagus is clearly visible.
Comments. A Hoffeinsodes species distinguished from congeners by Sc ending in R1, the probable absence of gonostyli, and strong apically bent postepandrial lobes. The periaedeagal sheath is sufficiently visible to mention it is part of the genitalia.

Hoffeinsodes hoffeinsi

description: Hoffeinsodes hoffeinsi (Wagner 2006) comb. nov.
(Figs 4e–f, 8e)
Etymology. Dedication name to Hans-Werner and Christel Hoffeins
Diagnosis. Hoffeinsodes species with greatly enlarged epandrium with long lateral tips, gonopods reduced in size.
Material. Holotype male, no. 992 in coll. Hoffeins.
Geological stratum. Baltic amber.
State of preservation. Specimen well conserved, head, thorax and abdomen recognizable; palpi and antennae complete; at least one of the leg pairs complete; no syninclusions.
Description. See Wagner (2006).
Comments. The description of abdomen and genitalia for this species by Wagner (2006) requires the following additions and corrections: abdomen with 8 segments and inverted genitalia, inversion by segments 7 and 8; epandrium basally split nearly in half with only a narrow median connection, lateral parts slightly sinuous, tapered apically; proctiger is a dorsal, slightly sclerotized roughly T-shaped structure emerging from lightly sclerotized lateral parts of the epandrium, fused medially; cerci conspicuous, setose.
A dorsal view of the cross sclerite indicates pairs of lateral gonostyli, parameres, and a single median sclerite. The denomination of individual or respective sclerites remains questionable, because the base of these structures is not clearly visible. If the lateral structures are gonostyli, as in congeneric species the broader more medial pair are likely parameres and the unpaired median sclerite is part of the aedeagus. Regardless, morphological differences are sufficient to distinguish H. hoffeinsi from congeners.

(Fig. 3D, E)
Cuneiforma asymetrica d’Hondt & Schopf, 1985: p. 930, pl. IX, figs 1–2.
Material examined. MNRJBRY-1534: Brazil, Pará state (Sta #4, 01°17.989’N – 046°46.732’W), 55 m, on sponge, 27 September 2014, collected by Fernando Moraes & Rodrigo Moura (NHo Cruzeiro do Sul).
Description. Colony delicate, erect, branched (Fig. 3D), fixed to the substrate by rhizoids.Autozooids disposed uniserially, elongate [L 674–766– 936 µm (SD 99, N 5)] with a dilated distal portion [W 116–122– 125 µm (SD 4, N 4)], and narrower elongate proximal portion [L 421–478–595 (SD 79, N 4); W 40–54– 67 µm (SD 9, N 6)] (Fig. 3D). Opesia oval [L 263–281– 307 µm (SD 16, N 5)] with a U- or V-shaped proximal end; distal corners with a small spine-like, not articulated protuberance (broken in Fig. 3E). Autozooids of the main axis budded from the basal distal wall of the mother zooid; new zooids originating a secondary branch budded from both sides of the lateral distal wall (Fig. 3D, E). Ovicell and ancestrula not observed.
Distribution. Know from the South Atlantic (Pernambuco state, Northeastern Brazil), North Atlantic (d’Hondt & Schopf 1985; Vieira et al. 2008), and off the Amazon River mouth (Pará state, Northern Brazil) (present study).
Remarks. Brettiella Gordon, 1984, also in the family Bugulidae, resembles Cuneiforma asymetrica, but includes two Pacific species characterized by reptant, uniserial, branching colonies. Zooids of Brettiella are shaped like Cuneiforma but lack operculum, spines and avicularia. Cuneiforma was erected to include only C. asymetrica characterized by the presence of an operculum and a pair of small distal spines, completely linear colony, zooids with elongated proximal portion and dilated distal portion. This species has not been found since its first description (d’Hondt & Schopf 1985), while subsequent mentions in the literature were referring to the original taxonomic record (e.g., Vieira et al. 2008; Vieira et al. 2010). A single colony with some bifurcations was examined in this study. Measurements are compatible with those of the original description (i.e., dilated region: 300 µm long, 150 µm diameter; elongated region: 400 µm long on average).

MNRJBRY-1453, MNRJBRY-1474, MNRJBRY-1494, MNRJBRY-1495: Brazil, Maranhão state (Sta #7, 00°14.742’S – 044°54.089’W), 23 m, on sponges, 29 September 2014; MNRJBRY-1460, MNRJBRY- 1549: Brazil, Pará state (Sta#6, 00°45.359’N – 046°38.49’W), 50 m, on rhodoliths, 29 September 2014; collected by Fernando Moraes & Rodrigo Moura (NHo Cruzeiro do Sul).
Distribution. Known from Maranhão and Pará states in Northern Brazil (present study), and Abrolhos Bank, Bahia state, Brazil (Ramalho et al. 2018).
Remarks. Stylopoma hastata Ramalho et al., 2018 was originally described from the Abrolhos Bank, Bahia state, Brazil, based on non-ovicellate material. Northern Brazil specimens allow the first description of ovicells (Fig. 8C–E), which are globose [L 321–380–408 (SD 34, N 8); W 330–418– 501 µm (SD 50, N 8)] with ooecial surface similar to the frontal shield of autozooids, evenly perforated by small pseudopores at the centre of polygonal depressions; small triangular avicularia [L 47–51– 58 µm (SD 6, N 3)] (similar to those observed on the autozooids) are found on the ovicell surface; the aperture consists in a crescentic lumen formed by the fusion of the labellum at the center, arising from the proximal edge (Fig. 8D–E). The figures also show the characteristic elongate avicularia (Fig. 8C, F).
