description: Pseudotanusia Vignon, 1923 stat. rev.
Ommatoptera Pictet, 1888 syn. nov.
The katydid genus belonging to the Pterochrozinae comprises currently seven valid species of medium-sized leaf mimics from Brazil. It needs to be revised since there are most probably more than the six already known synonyms. Unfortunately, Ommatoptera Pictet is a junior homonym of Ommatoptera Herrich-Schäffer, 1855, proposed for a species of moth. The latter is a synonym of another species described in the same year, making Ommatoptera Herrich-Schäffer a junior synonym of Darala Walker, 1855, which in turn is a synonym of Anthela Walker, 1855 (Fletcher & Nye 1982, Nielsen et al. 1996). It is not possible to declare Ommatoptera Pictet a nomen protectum, which would require 25 citations from the immediately preceding 50 years according to Article 23.9.1.1. of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (I found only eight from 1974 onward, published between 1979 and 2000). However, Pseudotanusia Vignon, 1923, synonymized shortly after its description with Ommatoptera Pictet (Vignon 1926), can be used as the valid name.
Included species: Pseudotanusia boraceana (Piza, 1979) comb. nov., P. elegans Vignon, 1923, P. laurifolia (Pictet, 1888) comb. nov., P. mutila Vignon, 1923, P. pictifolia (Walker, 1870), P. picturata (Serville, 1838) and P. pusilla Vignon, 1923.
Note: Pseudotanusia can be distinguished from the similar genus Tanusia Stål, 1874 by the narrower dorsal half of the tegmina, which in the latter is distally broadened and broader than the part below the radial vein.

Basileus Saussure & Pictet, 1898 (subjective synonym)
This neotropical genus of Copiphorini currently comprises six species of which three have been considered to belong to Moncheca Walker, 1869 by a few authors. Among the six species is V. diademata (Saussure & Pictet, 1898), type species of Basileus (original monotypy). The translucent tegmina and the female’s slender upcurved ovipositor seem to be diagnostic for the genus Vestria, which is in need of a taxonomic revision (Naskrecki 2000). Basileus was synonymized with V estria (Hebard 1927) and is also incorrectly listed as synonym of Moncheca (Otte 1997b, this latter citation needed to be excluded from the new OSF to prevent V. diademata from ending up under Moncheca).

B. exiguus has been synonymized first with this species (Günther 1939) and then with Paratettix histricus (Stål, 1861) (Blackith 1992, Otte 1997a). Both authors also treat P. lineatus as synonym of P. histricus. Currently P. lineatus is considered valid (Tan & Wahab 2018), and since the types of both P. lineatus and exiguus are from Borneo, whereas Paratettix histricus has no records from there, it is much more likely that B. exiguus is a synonym of P. lineatus.

description: Nemoura brevipennis group
Nemoura brevipennis Martynov, N. elegantula Martynov, N. martynovia Claassen and N. taurica Zhiltzova were already treated as a species group by Zhiltzova (2003). I also integrate herein N. uncinata Despax, N. dromokeryx Theischinger, N. aetolica Zwick and Nemoura asceta sp. n. This group differs from the other members of the genus by the apical part of the epiproct ring bearing two distinct lobes ending in lateral horns and by cerci having a strong, acute apical hook. The latter character also demonstrates affinity of the brevipennis group with the N. marginata group sensu Aubert (1946); however, the members of this group have less distinct lobes on the epiproct ring.
The group has a circum–Pontic distribution, excepting N. uncinata, which is distributed in the European Mediterranean area. Nemoura elegantula is known from the Caucasus, N. brevipennis and N. martynovia from the Caucasus and Anatolia, N. dromokeryx from Anatolia, N. taurica from the Crimean Peninsula, Anatolia and the Aegean islands, N. aetolica from the Greek mainland and N. asceta from northern Albania (Fig 103).

This group is designated herein for Nemoura fusca Kis, N. ovoidalis Kis, N. monticola Raušer and N. babiagorensis Sowa. The group differs from the other members of the genus by the stout, curved cerci bearing two straight apical teeth, forming a straight slat; the arms of the epiproct ventral sclerite forming an oval, thin ring that extends into small apical sclerites. The ventral sclerite and cercal characters place it closely with the N. peristeri group and the isolated, Greek N. caligula Zwick. However, these two groups differ in the head of the cerci and in the smaller apical sclerite.
The group has a Carpathian distribution. Nemoura fusca occurs all over the Carpathians, N. ovoidalis is known from the Eastern Carpathians and the Transsylvanian Mountains, and N. monticola and N. babiagorensis are known from the Northern Carpathians.

KB, ZB, DM, DP: 2♂ 4Ψ, 1 larva, 2 exuviae (1 exuviae prepared for SEM).
This species is known from Bosnia – Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia and Greece. Albanian localities are small karst streams in the Prokletije Mountains. New for the Albanian fauna.
It was described, and hitherto regarded, as a subspecies of S. neglecta. Although the distribution of S. neglecta and S. graeca greatly overlaps (Fig 102), there are some morphological features that contradict its subspecific classification. Herein, I propose full species status. The penial armature of S. graeca shows more affinity with S. burmeisteri (Pictet) than to S. neglecta. Its medial spine–field has no strong lateral scales, its proximal part is paler and wide, and the apical part of the penis sac between the titillators is well sclerotized. S. burmeisteri has a north–central European distribution and a single Balkan record from Bulgaria (Braasch & Joost 1976). The Anatolian records (Theischinger 1976a, 1976b, Zwick 1971) surely refer to S. libanica Alouf, given the geographic affinity discussed in its original description (Alouf 1992).
The Albanian specimens slightly differ from Greek specimens and the original description on the basis of the medial spine–field of the penis being narrower and the epiproct being much wider in dorsal view (Figs 86– 88). Because larvae of Siphonoperla are extremely difficult to determine, even in final instars (Zwick 2004), I do not describe the previously unknown larva of S. graeca, only show the distinct colour pattern of the head and the pronotum, in comparison with the imago (Figs 89–90).

Chloroperla zhiltzovae is known from the Caucasus and Anatolia and has not yet been reported from the Balkans (Fig 105). Albanian habitat is a small, open, high montane brook in the Ostrovicë Mountains. New for the Albanian fauna.
The Albanian specimens are here reported with doubts because of notable variability of the penial sclerites. The base plates of one male are similar to the Balkanian C. russevi Braasch since they have parallel lateral sides, but plates of the other two males are slightly shorter and equal in shape to the typical C. zhiltzovae.
The apical part of all the three male sclerites is similar to C. zhiltzovae but have a small, spiculate inner lobe at the apex. This lobe is vestigial on one male, but present on an Anatolian specimen of C. zhiltzovae. Spiculation of the apical part are also variable from bald to typical for C. zhiltzovae and the apex is more pointed than the typical spatulate form. The penial armature of Fig 91 is more similar to the typical C. zhiltzovae, but with a conspicuous inner lobe of the apex. Epiproct and head typical for the genus (Figs 92–94). Vaginal spermathecae of the Albanian specimens have two small, posterior sclerites (Fig 95). More specimens are needed to determine the distinctness of this marginal population.

description: Hapalosoma pulchrum (Rowe 1989)
Material examined — Norfolk Island: 1 specimen (67 mm TD), 29° 54.9' S, 167° 44.8' E, 130–301 m, AM J21699, dry (Holotype).
Remarks —No further examples of this distinctive species have been found since the type specimen was collected in 1977. This specimen is now quite fragile and so only a cursory examination was able to be made. However, it may be useful to add to the description of Rowe (1989) that the hoofs on the oral primary spines are quite narrow (narrower than the adjacent section of spine) and only very slightly flared, and the triphyllous pedicellariae are distinctly narrow and elongate.

description: В последние годы цифровые технологии стремительно проникают в сельское хозяйство, трансформируя традиционные методы ведения агробизнеса. Беспроводные сенсорные сети (БСС) и Интернет вещей (IoT) становятся ключевыми инструментами для автоматизированного сбора и анализа разнообразной информации, поступающей с датчиков, агрегатов и систем. Эти технологии предоставляют более полное и точное представление о реальных потребностях сельскохозяйственных предприятий, что позволяет эффективно управлять ресурсами, адаптироваться к изменению климата и повышать урожайность. Современное сельское хозяйство все больше опирается на данные, получаемые в режиме реального времени на протяжении всего вегетационного периода. Это позволяет проводить раннюю диагностику неблагоприятных условий и своевременно корректировать технологические операции для их устранения. Таким образом, цифровизация становится важным фактором устойчивого развития аграрного сектора, обеспечивая более точное и эффективное принятие решений.

Цель исследований – разработать средства и инфраструктуру сбора, обработки и формирования базы данных (метеоданные, параметры почв и посевов) для гибридной беспроводной сенсорной сети.

В гибридной беспроводной сенсорной сети (БСС) интегрированы три ключевые коммуникационные технологии: ZigBee, Wi-Fi и LTE 4G. Для мониторинга гидротермического состояния почвы на различных глубинах разработаны сенсорные узлы, оснащенные скважинными влагомерами. В этих автономных устройствах используются влагозащищенные корпуса, что обеспечивает их надежную работу в полевых условиях. Для наблюдения за состоянием растений и выявления аномалий явлений создан сенсорный узел с оптическим датчиком, оснащенный 12-мегапиксельной камерой "рыбий глаз", который передает изображения каждый час.

Для повышения автономности базовая станция оборудована поликристаллической фотоэлектрической солнечной панелью, обеспечивающей высокую автономность. В блоке обработки данных установлен программируемый таймер с независимым источником питания, который синхронизирует периоды выхода из режима «сна» с другими устройствами сети. Для сбора, структурирования и хранения данных разработан сервер с необходимым функционалом. Программное обеспечение базы данных позволяет эффективно искать и загружать информацию, необходимую для принятия решений.

Все подсистемы, использованные в данном исследовании, созданы на основе коммерческих компонентов и библиотек бесплатного программного обеспечения или ПО с открытым исходным кодом. Благодаря БСС была сформирована обширная база данных, включающая изображения растительного покрова, локальные метеоданные и динамику гидротермического состояния почвы.

Scirtothrips africanus Faure, 1929: 12
Described from 63 females and 32 males, this species was collected in Transvaal and Cape Province from plants in several different genera but with no indication of any specificity. Some females have been taken on Dodonaea viscosa together with the new species described below from that plant. The problems of viewing surface details on specimens dating from the 1929 paper are indicated by comparing Figures 9 (old specimen) and 10 (recent specimen).
Diagnosis. Body mainly yellow with tergal antecostal ridge pale; antennal segments III–VIII usually weakly shaded; forewing pale. Ocellar setae III behind first ocellus, ocellar region transversely striate; pronotum closely striate, posteromarginal setae no more than 0.3 as long as pronotum, S2 scarcely longer than S1; fore wing second vein with 4–6 setae, cilia wavy; metanotum with variable elongate reticulation (Figs 9, 10); terga VI–VII microtrichial fields with two lateral discal setae; terga VIII–IX with no microtrichia medially; sterna with no prominent microtrichia medially but some sculpture lines bear minute microtrichial-like asperities.

Described originally from more than 400 specimens taken from a very wide range of plants in Transvaal, Zululand and Cape Province, this species is widespread northward across Africa, through Kenya and Sudan, to Egypt and the Yemen (Mound & Palmer, 1981), and it feeds and breeds on many unrelated plants. Despite this, a population introduced to Australia has remained largely restricted to certain species of Crassulaceae, particularly Bryophyllum, although it readily transfers to, and breeds on, several other plants under experimental conditions (personal communication, Brian Garms, 2011). The males have a comb of stout setae on the hind femora, a character that is shared only with two other species in this genus, dodonaeae and mugambii.
Diagnosis. Body mainly yellow, terga and sterna with dark median area, antecostal ridges dark; antennal segments III–IV paler than V–VIII; fore wings weakly shaded with apex paler. Ocellar setae III close together on tangent between anterior margins of posterior ocelli (Fig. 1); pronotum closely striate, posteromarginal setae no more than 0.3 as long as pronotum, S2 about 1.3 times as long as S1; fore wing second vein with 3–4 setae, cilia moderately wavy; metanotum with variable elongate reticulation; tergum VIII with one or two rows of microtrichia anteromedially (Fig. 2), IX with no microtrichia posteromedially; sterna IV–VI with microtrichia covering almost entire median area (Fig. 3), sternum VII with discal microtrichia scarcely extending mesad of setal pair S1.

Described from 24 females and 11 males collected in Transvaal, this species remains known only from these original specimens taken from five species of Combretum as well as a few other plants. The species is unusual because the fore wings are weakly bicoloured, and in females the sternal microtrichial fields extend just mesad of the median marginal setal pair S1.
Diagnosis. Body mainly yellow, terga and sterna with diffuse median dark area and antecostal ridges dark; antennal segments III–VIII mainly dark; fore wings with distal half pale, median area weakly shaded but base paler and clavus uniformly dark. Ocellar setae III on line of tangent between anterior margins of posterior ocelli; pronotum closely striate, posteromarginal setae no more than 0.3 times as long as pronotum, S2 scarcely longer than S1; fore wing first vein with widely spaced setae, second vein with 3–4 setae, cilia wavy; metanotum with elongate reticulation; tergum VIII with microtrichia anteromedially, IX with no microtrichia posteromedially; sterna with microtrichia extending just mesad of marginal setal pair S1.

Described from 84 females and 31 males collected in Transvaal and Cape Province, particularly from two species of Acacia, this species has also been collected in the Cape Verde Islands (zur Strassen, 1993), including a long series of females from Dichrostachys cinerea (as glomerata) (Mimosaceae). The thrips is unusual because, in common with inermis, mangiferae and spinosus the tergal microtrichial fields have four, rather than three, setae.
Diagnosis. Body mainly yellow, terga and sterna with dark antecostal ridges but without median dark area; antennal segments III–IV slightly paler than V–VIII; fore wing including clavus weakly shaded but wing apex pale. Ocellar setae III on or just within anterior margins of triangle; pronotum closely striate, posteromarginal setae no more than 0.3 as long as pronotum, S2 about 1.3 times as long as S1; fore wing second vein with 1–5 setae, cilia straight; metanotum transversely striate at anterior, apparently longitudinally striate medially; terga V–VII with 4 setae on each lateral microtrichial field, tergum VIII with microtrichia anteromedially, IX with microtrichia posteromedially; sterna without microtrichia medially. [zur Strassen (1993) states that females from Cape Verde Islands have 1–2 rows of microtrichia medially near the sternal posterior margins; these are not visible on the available paratypes].

Described originally from a greenhouse in Belgium, those specimens are apparently lost, and the identity of the species is based on two females labelled by Bagnall as “ Type ” but collected by him in England at about the same date (Mound, 1968a). Those specimens have been compared to a few females seen from Australia (Hoddle & Mound, 2003), and also the Cape Verde Islands (zur Strassen, 1993).
Diagnosis. Body yellow, head light brown at anterior; antecostal ridges dark on terga III–VIII and sterna V– VII; forewings strongly shaded in basal half, paler toward apex, clavus dark; antennal segments III–VIII dark. Ocellar setae III wide apart near margins of ocellar triangle (Fig. 17); pronotum with transverse striae wavy and widely separated (Fig. 17); posteromarginal setae S2 about 0.4 times as long as pronotum; forewing second vein with 2 setae; posteromarginal fringe cilia wavy except near apex of wing; metanotum longitudinally reticulate; terga V–VII with 3 discal setae on each microtrichial field; VIII with no discal microtrichia medially, IX with discal microtrichia on posterior half; sternites with microtrichial fields extending mesad almost to setae S2. Male not known.

Described originally from Egypt, and widespread from Israel and Iran to the Yemen and Sudan, this species is also recorded from Gabon (zur Strassen, 2003). Although adults have been found on various plant species, this thrips seems to be particularly associated with the freshly emerged young leaves of mango.
Diagnosis. Body yellow with no shading, terga and sterna with antecostal ridges pale; antennal segments III–V variably pale in basal half; fore wing pale. Ocellar setae III anterior to tangent between anterior margins of posterior ocelli; pronotum closely striate, setae S2 about 1.5 as long as S1; forewing second vein with 3 setae, posterior cilia strongly wavy; metanotum reticulate; terga V–VII with 4 setae on each lateral microtrichial field (Fig. 20), VIII–IX with many microtrichia medially; sterna without microtrichia medially.
