Stenostomum uronephrium

description: Stenostomum uronephrium Nuttycombe, 1931
Locality. Temporary pools on Mount Kavul and Mount Shekhanya, Lower Galilee. Material. Many individuals. Live observation, squash preparations.
Ecological features. Stenostomum uronephrium is a characteristic species of lentic or stagnant waters with abundant vegetation (Marcus, 1945; Noreña-Janssen, 1995). In Israel, it was collected during the winter (January 2001) in 35 of the 53 studied pools on Mount Kavul and Mount Shekhanya in the vicinity of Manof. The species disappeared in early spring, and was not collected again during the 2001–2 seasons. This may suggest important changes in the ecological factors of the pools. More studies are necessary to determine the cause of this temporal distribution.
Stenostomum uronephrium is a characteristic species of the Americas whose distribution extends from USA to Brazil and Argentina (Nuttycombe & Waters, 1938; Marcus, 1945; Noreña-Janssen, 1995); within Europe it is known only from Germany, Russia (Lanfranchi & Papi, 1978) and Poland (Kolasa, 1977). S. uronephrium was reported in Israel for the first time by Eitam et al. (2004).

Etymology. The name (Latin, adjective, superlative of spinosum: with spines) refers to the conspicuous series of spines in the internal sac of the aedeagus.
Description. 7.0–8.0 mm. Forebody as in Fig. 19. Coloration of body reddish brown to blackish; legs pale yellowish; antennae reddish yellow, with the apex of antennomere I and antennomeres II–VI(VII) somewhat infuscate.
Head 1.25–1.30 times as long as wide and of subparallel shape; punctation areolate, coarse, and rather dense; interstices reduced to narrow ridges, in dorsal median area slightly wider, without microsculpture. Eyes distinctly bulging, approximately half as long as postocular region in dorsal view (Fig. 19). Antennae with antennomere I approximately as long as the combined length of the 5–6 following antennomeres.
Pronotum approximately 1.3 times as long as wide and 0.85–0.90 times as wide as head, widest between anterior angles and middle; punctation as coarse as, or coarser than that of head; impunctate midline relatively wide, width on average 2–3 times the diameter of punctures (Fig. 19).
Elytra slightly longer than, and approximately 1.4 times as wide as pronotum; punctation areolate, approximately as coarse as, and even denser than that of pronotum. Hind wings fully developed. Metatarsomere I approximately as long as the combined length of II+III.
Abdomen about as wide as elytra, widest at segments V/VI; punctation fine and dense; interstices without microsculpture and shiny; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe; posterior margin of tergite VIII distinctly concave in the middle.
ɗ: sternite VII with pronounced median impression, this impression deepest anteriorly and with distinct, but rather small patch of dense pubescence, midline behind anterior impression without setae, posterior margin weakly concave, almost truncate (Fig. 20); sternite VIII with wide, in the middle almost angled, and moderately deep posterior excision, pubescence unmodified (Fig. 21); aedeagus with long, slender, and apically hooked ventral process; internal sac with two rows of 8–10 distinctly sclerotised spines, these spines decreasing in size towards apex (Figs. 22–23).

description: Afrophilodana gen. nov.
Type species: Afrophilodana africana sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Setae st1 on presternal shield; st2 on sternal shield; st3 on smooth sternogynum; st4 on endopodal region. Mesogynal shield present, large. Paired latigynal shields barely meeting medially, with three pairs of setae each. Internal malae with pilose margins. Seta h1 thickened, with long barbs.
Etymology. The new genus is named after the closely related genus Philodana Kethley, 1977, and the continent where the specimens were collected. Gender feminine.
Remarks. Afrophilodana from Philodana are most easily separated by the presence of a mesogynal shield (absent in Philodana), setae st1 on presternal shield (on membranous cuticle in Philodana) and hypertrichous endopodal shield (st4 only in Philodana). These and other important characters for distinguishing the genera are given in Table 1.

Synonyms: Vortex armiger Schmidt, 1861

Locality. Permanent spring in Kaukab, Lower Galilee.
Material. More than 20 individuals. Live observations, squash preparations, whole-mounted individual.
Ecological features. Microdalyellia armigera was collected along the edge of a permanent spring in Kaukab (April 2002) (see TABLE 1).
Microdalyella armigera is a species that is well-distributed within the Palaearctic region (Luther, 1955; Young, 1970; Mack-Fira, 1974; Müller & Faubel, 1993) and has also been reported for the USA. However, the latter record can be considered doubtful, because M. armigera is often confused with M. fusca, a very similar species (Ruebush, 1937; Luther, 1955). For Israel, this is the first record.

Synonyms: Dalyellia ornata Hofsten, 1907
Microdalyellia ornata Gieysztor, 1938
Locality. Temporary pools on Mount Kavul and Mount Shekhanya, Lower Galilee.
Material. Many individuals. Live observations, squash preparations, whole-mounted individual. Ecological features. Gieysztoria ornata dwells in temporary pools with dense vegetation and also in cold lakes in the northern regions of Europe (Luther, 1955). In Israel, G. ornata was found in pools without vegetation, some with filamentous algae (March 2000, January 2001, February–April 2002).
Gieysztoria ornata is known from Europe, Greenland and Brazil (Steinböck, 1932; Marcus, 1946; Luther, 1955; Gamo & Leal-Zanchet, 2004). G. ornata was reported from Israel for the first time by Eitam et al.

description: Microcurgus Haupt, 1950
Microcurgus Haupt, 1950: 29. Type species Microcurgus pallidovenosus Haupt, 1950, female, by monotypy.
Micropompilus Priesner, 1955:163. Type species: Micropompilus braconoides Priesner, 1955 [male] by monotypy. New synonym.
Diagnosis. Microcurgus belongs to the subfamily Pompilinae and in females is characterized by the following characters: Eyes (in frontal view) narrow, 0.20–0.33 times as wide as remaining face. Vertex narrow behind eyes, with edge behind ocelli, separate the ocellar area from vertical backside of head. Pterostigma large, its diameter larger than distance to submarginal cell. Foremetatarsus without spinulation, except a small spine on apex. AS III ivory white, contrasting with darker parts of remaining antennomeres. Pronotum anteriorly (in lateral view) with step, vertical falling to the apex (similar to Caliadurgus). Metanotum vertical and situated below apex of mesoscutellum, forming a distinct step between level of mesoscutellum and metapostnotum. Base of mandible with brush of bristles, as long as mandible (not described in M. pallidovenosus, but may be overlooked). Small specimens, body length 5 mm maximum. These characters (apart from 4 and 9) probably represent true autapomorphies. More species from Africa, however, must be examined and therefore this diagnosis is provisional.
Remarks. The description of the Microcurgus Haupt, 1950 genotype agrees in general aspects with the examined specimen of Micropompilus braconoides Priesner, especially in wing venation, head shape, eye size, and the ivory white AS III that are similar in both species. For that reason, Micropompilus is is treated as a new synonym of Microcurgus.

Rhene Thorell, 1869: 37 (replacement name for Rhanis C.L. Koch, 1846, preoccupied; type species: Rhanis flavigera C.L. Koch, 1846).
Zeuxippus Thorell, 1891: 109 (type species: Zeuxippus histrio Thorell, 1891, examined based on illustrations and images of the type species kept at the Zoological Museum, Copenhagen, http://www.daim.snm.ku.dk/The-digitized-type-collection). syn. n.
Justification of synonymy. The morphology and copulatory organs of Zeuxippus Thorell, 1891 appear similar to that of Rhene Thorell, 1869. Based on a detailed comparison of the illustrations of the generotype, Zeuxippus histrio Thorell, 1891 (Prószyński, 1984), it is evident that it has all the diagnostic features of Rhene as illustrated for Rhene flavigera (C.L. Koch, 1846). The palp with short, curved embolus accompanied by a hook-shaped terminal apophysis; simple pointed RTA; bag-like tegulum and sperm duct of the palp with retromarginal loop are diagnostic for Rhene. Expect the longer, more obtuse abdomen, characteristic differences in palpal structure are not seen. Therefore, Zeuxippus is considered a junior synonym of Rhene.
The synonymy has resulted in four new combinations: Rhene atellana (Thorell, 1895) comb. n., Rhene histrio (Thorell, 1891) comb. n., Rhene pallida (Thorell, 1895) comb. n., and Rhene yunnanensis (Peng & Xie, 1995) comb. n..

Comments. Rhene biembolusa Song & Chai (1991) was described based on a holotype male from Bawangling, Hainan, China. The species was later discovered from mainland China and both sexes were illustrated (Peng et al., 1994; Song et al., 1999; Peng, 2020). Based on the original and subsequent illustrations, the species shows clear resemblance in genital morphology to R. flavicomans. The male palp with short, ventrally curved embolus accompanied with slightly broad terminal apophysis resembling the embolus; epigyne with medially placed pair of oval openings; copulatory ducts broad, subparallel (cf. Figs 1–4, illustrations in Prószyński (1984: 119–121), figs 9–11 in Jastrzębski (1997), figs 14A–E in Song & Chai (1991), figs 5–9 in Peng et al. (1994) and figs 280a–i in Peng et al. (2020)). Therefore, here R. biembolusa is considered as a junior synonym of R. flavicomans.
Distribution. India (Assam, Kerala (present data), West Bengal (Caleb, 2019)), Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, China (WSC, 2022) (Fig. 72).

description: Megaoculis gen. n.
Type species: Megaoculis egeri sp. n. Holotype 3 Brazil, Rondonia. (DZUP).
Diagnosis: This genus is characterized by having large head and eyes, rostrum cylindrical, evenly deflexed, with large mandibles, several long seta-like hairs ventrodistad to apex; female rostrum longer than male, with scape inserted at midpoint in male and distad of midpoint in female; rostrum abruptly emerging from head differing from Timola in which it is continuous with head; very tumid metafemur; elytra with long suberect piceous seta-like scales and rather thick decumbent scales; distal margin of metafemoral tooth denticulate with 7–8 denticles from apex to base of tooth; tibiae robust, bisinuate, females with large to moderate unci, males lacking unci; tarsal claws bifid; male genitalia very atypical for Curculionini or Curculionidae, with 2 curved distal sclerotic arms that appear to be part of the tegmen. At this time we are placing this genus in the Timolina based on the characters that fit it into Timolina, scutellum not impressed, and pygidium covered, thus being the only Timolina found outside South Africa and probably the only indigenous Curculionini known from South America. A new species of Curculio has recently come to our attention. This species was described as Curculio rishwani Makhan (Makhan, 2009). However, the new species clearly belongs to the genus Megaoculis, but to be able to place it in context with the other two species we would have to obtain a loan of the unique holotype for comparison. The senior author has identified two Curculionini labeled from South America, obviously introduced, those being Curculio villosus Fabricius (NHMB) collected in Sao Paulo, Brazil, introduced from Europe and Curculio proboscideus Fabricius (SMTD) collected in British Guyana (Guyana) probably introduced from North America.

Trichomycterus

description: [[Genus Trichomycterus]]
Trichomycterus Valenciennes is a specious assemblage of catfishes inhabiting mountain rivers of South America and southern Central America, each species usually endemic to a single river basin (Eigenmann, 1918). About 60 nominal species are endemic to the river basins draining the Andes and hills of the Guianan Shield, and about 30 species are endemic to river basins draining the Brazilian Shield. However, it is not known if the whole genus Trichomycterus is a monophyletic lineage, or even if species of each region form a clade.
Trichomycterus is still poorly known in the Brazilian Shield river basins, with many undescribed species. Most described species of this region are endemic to the Rio Paraíba do Sul basin (Costa, 1982), but many areas are still insufficiently sampled. For example, only one species, Trichomycterus longibarbatus Costa, is known to occur in the vast area occupied by numerous isolated river basins between the Rio Paraíba do Sul and Rio Doce basins, southeastern Brazil. However, recent collections in this area revealed several new species of Trichomycterus, of which two species exhibiting very distinctive color patterns are herein described.

Dalyellia cuspidata Hofsten, 1907
Microdalyellia cuspidata Gieysztor, 1938
Locality. Temporary pools on Mount Kavul and Mount Shekhanya, Lower Galilee.
Material. Few individuals. Live observations, squash preparations, whole-mounted individual, and photographs.
Morphological remarks. Stylet with 3–7 spines (European specimens with 3–6 spines), but without real girdle (Fig. 4 C). Spines are thorn-like with a broad base. The curvature of the spines is variable, in some individuals nearly straight, in others sickle-like. Length of the spines is 26.9–28.5 μm.
Ecological features. Gieysztoria cuspidata is a typical inhabitant of freshwater environments (temporary and permanent pools, springs and rivers). G. c u s p i d a t a tolerates temperatures up to 31 ºC and low salinity contents (Luther, 1955). In Israel, it was collected from large and intermediate-sized temporary pools from December to April (December 2001, January - March 2002) and was most common in late February (Fig. 5).
Gieysztoria cuspidata shows a European distribution (Luther, 1955; Mack-Fira, 1974). It was reported from Israel for the first time by Eitam et al. (2004).
