description: Beltia talaga Flowers, new species
Figures 35, 55, 79
Description of male holotype. Body ovate, length 5.7 mm. Head, pronotum, elytra, and underside brilliant metallic green; antennae testaceous, with apical two antennomeres dark brown; legs yellowish brown (Fig. 35).
Head. Clypeus densely punctate, punctures separated by distance slightly greater than their diameters. Frontoclypeal suture distinct. Frons strongly punctate, surface between punctures smooth to weakly
alutaceous, punctures separated by distance greater than their diameters; vertex without a median impressed line, sparsely punctate, surface between punctures smooth.
Thorax. Prothorax distinctly wider than long, L/W = 0.6; disc regularly, finely punctate, with punctures separated by distance greater than their diameters; punctures more numerous and aciculate along midline; surface between punctures shining, with numerous punctulae. Prosternum sparsely punctate, with numerous whitish setae, posterior margin of intercoxal process strongly concave, width of intercoxal process 1.1× diameter of procoxa. Mesosternum convex on anterior slope. Metasternum transversely wrinkled, metepisternum finely microreticulate.
Elytra. Evenly punctate, punctures separated by distance greater than their diameters, surface between punctures with numerous small punctulae; width across humeri 1.2× width across pronotum. Basal calli weakly developed, postbasal depression obsolete.
Abdomen. Sterna with numerous short setae and a transverse row of long setae along middle third of segments III–VI, surface of segments alutaceous. Tergites with a basal row of spicules on segments II and III, and spicules laterally on segment IV. Surface of segments V and VI shagreened.
Genitalia. Median lobe short and broad, in lateral view strongly curved (Fig. 55a); apex in en-face view subquadrate, postorifical length narrow, with a slightly asymmetrical central projection (Fig. 55c); apical sclerite consisting of several small laminae (Fig. 55b). Apex of spermathecal gland lacking a sclerotized cap.
Female. Unknown.
Specimens examined. (1♂) Male holotype labeled: ECUADOR NAPO TALAGA 600m 77°54′W 01°03′S 12JUN99 I. Oña. Holotype deposited in QCAZ.
Etymology. talaga, for the locality of the holotype.
Diagnosis. In size and color, Beltia talaga most closely resembles B. awapita but can be distinguished by the more rounded sides of the pronotum. The endophallus of B. talaga also lacks the long sclerotized bar found in B. awapita.
Remarks. This species is known from the eastern slope of the Andes in Ecuador (Fig. 79).

Comment. A comparison of the redescription and illustrations of P. szechuanus in Li & Zhou (2009) with the above material revealed some differences in the sexual characters. According to Li & Zhou (2009), the anterior margin of the male labrum is distinctly sinuate (less sinuate, Fig. 3 D), the apical portion of the dorsal plate is curved to the right in dorsal view (left in the material listed above, Fig. 3 N) and the internal sac of the aedeagus has S-shaped sclerotized spines (a long curved spine and a short spine in the material listed above, Figs 3 L–O). This species is widespread in the eastern Qionglai mountains and subject to considerable intraspecific variation of characters such as size, coloration and punctation, as well as the shape of the head, pronotum, elytra, parameres and internal structures of the aedeagus, but the shape of the labrum is constant.

description: PARAMORMYROPS JACKSONI (POLL, 1967)
Marcusenius jacksoni Poll, 1967: 55, Fig. 14. Holotype: Dundo Museum 5575 (unique). Type locality: Nharicumbi village, 12°S, 21°10′E, Longa River tributary of Luena River (Zambesi River basin), Angola.
Paramormyrops jacksoni – Taverne et al., 1977: 640.
Note: Because Paramormyrops jacksoni is known from a single specimen from a tributary of the upper Zambezi River in Angola, well outside Lower Guinea and Congo River basins where all other Paramormyrops are found, it is likely that this species was incorrectly reassigned to Paramormyrops by Taverne et al. (1977). Instead it more probably belongs in Pollimyrus. This opinion is shared by D. Tweddle and P.H. Skelton (pers. comm.) who have examined specimens of Pollimyrus from the Kataba tributary of the Upper Zambezi in neighboring Zambia that are a close match to P. jacksoni in meristics, body form, and coloration. Further studies are needed before making a generic reassignment of P. jacksoni.

(Note: Type locality is questionable and probably the specimen came from the Ogooué River Basin of Gabon (see Teugels & Hopkins 1998: 200 for remarks on possible error in type locality)].
Marcusenius cabra e Boulenger, 1900: 130, Pl.48, Fig. 1. Syntypes MRAC 274–275(2), BMNH 1899.11.27:91 (1). Type locality: Marais de Kop-Malafu, Mayumbe, Congo-Brazzaville (Kouilou-Niari Basin), 5.20°S, 12.3°E. Placed in synonymy by Boulenger (1912): 6.
Paramormyrops kingsleyae – Hopkins et al., 2007: 302.
Note: Pending confirmation from DNA study, we suspect Pollimyrus kingsleyae eburneensis Bigorne, 1990, from the Agnébi, San Pedro and Banco Rivers in Ivory Coast, is most probably a species of Pollimyrus Taverne, 1971 (not a Paramormyrops) and recognize it here as Pollimyrus eburneensis (Bigorne, 1990).

Type-species: Cicada unifasciata Fabricius, 1803: 72, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Robust sharpshooters with head slightly produced and broadly rounded anteriorly; ocelli located behind imaginary line between anterior eye angles, each closer to adjacent anterior eye angle than to median line of crown; epistomal suture almost always entire. Forewing with coriaceous texture; veins distinct, often elevated. Male terminalia with connective in form of transverse bar (i.e., without stalk); paraphyses absent. Female terminalia with sternite VII bearing median posterior projection or lobe.
Note. The external morphology (head and thorax) of the three new species herein described and of A. unifasciata comb. nov. agrees with the above diagnosis and with the detailed description of the genus provided by Young (1977: 176). Hence, in the descriptions below, we focus on the color pattern and the terminalia of males and females.

Capitonius

description: Capitonius subgenus Foenomorpha
Diagnosis. Readily distinguishable from other species of Capitonius by the following combination of characters: anterodorsal portion of pronotum produced as a curl of cuticle that projects dorsally and posterorally (Fig. 1 A); head with vertex posterad lateral ocelli convex (Fig. 1 B); ratio of length to width of t1 1.2–4.5.
Discussion: in this group, the curled form of the anterodorsal portion of pronotum is the proposed synapomorphy for this clade; the lateral carina bordering the antennal scrobe is incomplete (Fig. 1 B), except in C. venustus where the lateral carina reaches the lateral ocelli; the ventral margin of the clypeus has three blunt tubercles (Fig. 1 C), except in Capitonius flavusassumentum Pitz n. sp. where a single median tooth is present; the tarsal claws are simple, lacking a basal lobe, except in C. flavusaussumentum where a basal lobe is present.
Distribution: New World, Mexico south through Central and South America.

Host plants. Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb.,? Euonymus alatus f. ciliatodentatus Hiyama (Celastraceae).
Remarks. The narrow trophic specialization was noted for larvae of this species. When the larvae were reared in laboratory conditions, they fed on Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb. only, refusing to eat even a closely related species C. flagellaris Rupr., belonging to the same botanic genus.
Unfortunately, in a recently published work (Na & Bae 2024), the specimen reared from Euonymus alatus f. ciliatodentatus Hiyama is not indicated in the examined material. Also, it is unclear whether its genitalia are illustrated. Moreover, the authors gave an erroneous combination of plant species with the generic name “ E [uonymus] orbiculatus ”, which causes confusion in the host plants of this species and wrongly associate the main host plant Celastrus orbiculatus, on which 68 specimens were collected and reared, with the genus Euonymus.

The diploid chromosome number of the male studied was 2n = 32, the fundamental number of autosomal arms was FNa = 50. The karyotype comprised nine large- to medium-sized meta- to submetacentric, one small metacentric and five small acrocentric autosomal pairs (Fig. 1). Four metacentric pairs similar to that of the vespertilionid basic karyotype (2n = 44, numbering of chromosomal arms as in the genus Myotis) were present. Further, Robertsonian fusion products were identified according to the G-banding pattern with the following arm combinations: 7/11, 8/9, 10/12, 13/18, 14/20 and 15/21. Chromosomes 19 and 22 to 25 were acrocentric elements. The X chromosome was a medium-sized metacentric chromosome with the banding pattern characteristic for Vespertilionini and Pipistrellini (state II — Volleth and Heller, 1994). The Y chromosome was about of the same size as chromosome 23 and consisted largely of heterochromatic material. Chromosomes 1/2, 11, 12 and 15 were present in state II as in other members of the tribe Vespertilionini. The nucleolus organizing regions (NORs) were located at the secondary constriction (SC) of arm 15. C-band positive heterochromatin was present only at the centromeres and the Y chromosome.

Gonopod telopodite (Fig. 7) gently curved posteriorly. Solenomerite more or less straight but bent posteriorly and laterally from the anterodistal corner of the SF; the process divided at about two­thirds its length into an anterior branch containing the terminus of the prostatic groove and a shorter, blunter branch arising posteromesally. The outer portion of the SF curved laterally and posteriorly; PDC thickened at its tip, extending basally and laterally as a short, flat process; PBC curving distally. TT bent slightly laterally, its tip extending distally beyond the PDC. MES a pair of short, rod­like, pointed processes curved more or less in parallel posteriorly and laterally, terminating anterior to the LES. LES more or less parallel to long axis of telopodite, with its distal edge angled so that the blunt, thickened anterior corner is considerably more distal than the posterior corner.

description: Nycticeinops schlieffenii (Peters, 1859)
The karyotype of N. schlieffenii consisted of nine meta- to submetacentric and seven acrocentric autosomal pairs (2n = 34 and FNa = 50). The X chromosomes were medium-sized metacentrics with a G-banding pattern characteristic for vespertilionid state II. In addition to the ancestral four bi-armed pairs, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 16/17, derived Robertsonian fusion chromosomes 7/11, 8/12, 9/13, 10/14 and 21/22 were observed (Fig. 11).
The SC close to the centromere of the acro-centric chromosome 15 was confirmed by AgNOR staining as nucleolus organizer region. The mean number of active NORs per cell was 1.9 (16 cell scored). Apart from the centromeres, C-positive heterochromatin was present in the proximal part of one of the two smallest acrocentric pairs, homologous to MMY24 or MMY25 (Fig. 6C). The chromosomes 1/2, 11, 12, and 15 were present in vespertilionid state II.

Naushonia japonica Komai 2004: 17, figs. 1A, 2–4 (type locality: Yoshimi Beach, Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan).
Material examined. Japan: 1 female (pocl 5.3 mm), Chiba Prefecture, Katsuura, Ubara, scuba diving, 5 m, sand, under rock, coll. S. Komai and N. Nakamura, 30 September 2013, CBM-ZC 12594.
Description. See Komai (2004).
Colouration in life. Body and appendages whitish; cornea dark grey (Fig. 1 B).
Distribution. Northwestern Pacific: Japan (Yamaguchi, Chiba and possibly Mie Prefectures).
Habitat. Shallow subtidal sand flats, 5– 7 m.
Remarks. Naushonia japonica is presently known only from Japan. This species was originally described on the basis of a single adult male specimen from Yoshimi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, although prior to the collection of the holotype, Konishi (2001) reported larvae of an unidentified species of Naushonia from Gokasyo Bay, Mie Prefecture, which possibly also represent N. japonica (see Komai 2004). The herein reported female specimen from Chiba Prefecture agrees well with the male holotype, except for some sexual characters and the possession of minute denticles on the lateral margins of the telson (three on the left side and two on the right side); no such denticles are present in the holotype. The first pair of pleopods of the female is uniramous and the articulation between the protopod and ramus is obsolete.
Among the species characterized by the non-carinate pleomeres and rounded, unarmed pleura, N. japonica is most similar to the western Atlantic N. crangonoides, for instance, sharing the presence of numerous (10 or more) teeth on the lateral margin of the antennal scaphocerite. However, N. japonica may be readily distinguished from N. crangonoides by the cheliped dactylus distinctly broadened proximally to mid-length vs. not particularly broadened in N. crangonoides, as well as by the better-defined gastric carinae (cf. Thompson 1903; Goy & Provenzano 1979; Williams 1984).
Komai (2004) did not fully examine the gill formula of the holotype of N. japonica, in order not to damage the holotype, the only specimen available at that time. The more detailed examination of the present specimen revealed that N. japonica has a gill formula typical for the genus, as summarized in Table 1. The arthrobranch associated with the first maxilliped is well developed and has multiple lamellae.
