description: Family Spirostreptidae Brandt, 1833
Although the family Spirostreptidae as such is quite well-defined and morphologically coherent, dividing it into subfamilies and/or tribes has always been challenging. Traditionally, three subfamilies/tribes have been recognized:
- Spirostreptinae/-ini Brandt, 1833
- Trachystreptinae/-ini Cook in Cook & Collins, 1895
- Triaenostreptinae/-ini Attems, 1914
Hoffman (1980) in his classification of Diplopoda discussed the problems with this subdivision and simply listed all spirostreptid genera alphabetically.
Independently of this, Krabbe (1982) added:
- Metriostreptini Krabbe, 1982
- Orthogoneptini Chamberlin, 1941
When Hoffman et al. (2001) synonymized Triaenostreptus Attems, 1914 under Spirostreptus, Triaenostreptinae /-ini became a synonym of Spirostreptinae/-ini which left the genera until then classified in Spirostreptinae/-ini “homeless”. The oldest available family-group name based on one of these genera is Perustreptinae Verhoeff, 1941 (see Jeekel 1970). Considering the blatant paucity of phylogenetic studies on Spirostreptidae, in particular studies involving molecular data (Nielsen et al. 2022), it makes no sense to distinguish between the subfamily and tribe levels for the time being, and I suggest a preliminary subdivision of Spirostreptidae into five co-ordinate taxa, here (arbitrarily) listed as tribes in alphabetical order:
- Metriostreptini Krabbe, 1982 (two African genera)
- Orthogoneptini Chamberlin, 1941 (two American genera)
- Perustreptini Verhoeff, 1941, syn. Spiropstretini sensu auctorum, nec Brandt, 1833 (many African and most American genera)
- Spirostreptini Brandt, 1833, syn. Triaenostreptini, Attems, 1914 (several African genera)
- Trachystreptini Cook, 1895 (several African genera)
With the probable exception of Spirostreptinae (see below), and the possible exceptions of the small taxa Metriostreptinae and Orthogoneptinae, the monophyly of the tribes is more than dubious. The status of Trachystreptini has been quite extensively debated, most recently by Enghoff et al. (in press), and this taxon will almost certainly not “survive” a molecular phylogenetic analysis. It also appears quite possible that one or more of the preliminary tribes will turn out to occupy subordinate position within Perustreptini as here delimited.

(Figs. 6G&H, 11D)
Material studied: Two adults; ANFD uncatalogued, an adult from Mayabunder, Middle Andaman; CIARI uncatalogued, an adult from Sippighat, South Andaman (Fig. 3F).
Morphology:Dorsal scales elongated, slender and smooth, in 15:15:11 rows; mid dorsal row enlarged, hexagonal; ventrals 179–183; preventrals 2; subcaudals 118–132, divided; preocular 1; postoculars 2; anal divided; supralabials 9 (5–6 entering orbit); infralabials 11 (1–6 contacting genials); temporals 2+2, loreal 1. This species undergoes intensive ontogenetic colour change with the juveniles being dark brown dorsally and pale green ventrally, the adolescent individuals being greenish brown dorsally, which turns to verdant green with black edged dorsal scales as they become adults. Tongue bright red.
Distribution: A diurnal species found throughout the Andaman archipelago. Several individuals were recorded from South, Middle, North and Little Andaman Islands, Long, Tarmugli, Guitar, Paget, Interview, Havelock, Neil, North Passage, North Reef and Rutland Islands. Found mostly on shrubs and bushes. On one occasion, a juvenile was seen in a thatched roof of human habitation. Occurs in a range of habitats from primary evergreen, secondary forests, littoral forests and home gardens. On one occasion, a juvenile D. andamanensis was observed feeding on a juvenile Phelsuma andamanensis in a home garden in Long Island.
Remarks: It was originally described as a subspecies of D. pictus (Gmelin, 1789) and later elevated to species from subspecies status by Vogel & Van Rooijen (2011). Populations from Little Andaman Island have thicker, dark blackish dorsal scale boundaries than the population on other islands, giving them an overall, darker appearance (Pers. Obs., M. Chandi pers. comm.).
Status: Common and endemic to the Andaman archipelago.

Additional material examined. China: Sichuan: 1♂ (MHBU), Anzihe, Shaoyaogou, 10.viii.2016, leg. W. Y. Zhou; 1♂ (MHBU), “ 70 km West Chengdu, Qingcheng Hou Shan mts, 1500 m, 30˚44’N, 103˚08’E, 17.vi.2005, leg. S. Murzin ”; 1♂ (MHBU), “ 70 km West Chengdu, Qingcheng Hou Shan mts, 1500 m, 30˚44’N, 103˚08’E, 8.– 14.vi.2005, leg. S. Murzin ”; 1♀ (MHBU), “ Mts ling Shan, E. Mianning, 2500–3000 m, 14.–18.vii.2009, leg. S. Murzin ”.
Etymology. This specific name is derived from Latin mimus (imitate), referring to its similarity to L. hickeri.
Remarks. Lycocerus sichuanus Y. Yang et X. Yang, 2014, is preoccupied by L. sichuanus (Wittmer, 1995), originally described in Athemus. When two or more names are homonyms, only the senior name, as determined by the Principle of Priority, may be used as a valid (ICZN, 4 th ed., article 52.2), so L. sichuanus (Wittmer, 1995) remains valid. A junior homonym must be rejected and replaced either by an available and potentially valid synonym or, for lack of such a name, by a new substitute name (ICZN, 4 th ed., article 60.1), therefore, L. hickerimimus nom. nov. is proposed here to replace L. sichuanus Y. Yang et X. Yang, 2014.
Distribution. China (Sichuan).

(Figs. 7A & B, 12A)
Material studied: Two adults; ANFD uncatalogued, an adult from Mayabunder, Middle Andaman; CIARI uncatalogued, an adult from Sippighat, South Andaman (Fig. 3G).
Morphology: Dorsal scales elongated, slender and smooth, in 21:21:15 rows; mid dorsal row distinctly enlarged, hexagonal; ventrals 259–262; preventral 1; subcaudals 102–124, divided; preocular 1; postoculars 2; anal single; supralabials 8 (3–5 entering orbit); infralabials 10–11 (1–6 contacting genials); temporals 3+2, loreal 1. A colour polymorphic species; three distinct colour morphs observed: ashy green, brown and bright red, the former two being frequent as adults and juveniles being reddish. Interior of mouth pink.
Distribution: A nocturnal species found throughout the Andaman Archipelago. Seven individuals were recorded from South Andaman, Long Island, Havelock and Middle Andaman Islands. Found in primary evergreen and secondary forests. Rather uncommon in human habitations. Found in low-lying shrubs and bushes.
Remarks: B. andamanensis was redescribed recently by Ganesh et al. (2020) as a part of the revision of the B. ceylonensis group. Earlier reports of Boiga ochracea walli from the Andaman Islands (Smith, 1940; Whitaker and Captain, 2004) need a proper reassessment and are likely to be erroneous; possibly based on the red colour variants of B. andamanensis.
Status: Uncommon, endemic to the Andaman archipelago.

Material studied: One adult, ZSI/ANRC/T/13497, an adult from Narcondam (Fig. 4F).
Morphology: Dorsal scales in 22:21:15 rows, vertebrals enlarged; ventrals 251; subcaudals 126, divided; anal single; preoculars 2; postoculars 2; supralabials 8 (3–5 entering orbit); infralabials 11; temporals 2+3; loreal 1. Bright grassy green dorsally and ventrally with a black inter-scalar skin; interior of mouth black.
Distribution: Restricted to Narcondam Island; widespread outside in the Southeast Asian mainland. A nocturnal species, seen only occasionally in the isolated volcanic island of Narcondam. Not found in islands of the Main Andaman chain. Found in low-lying bushes and shrubs. Two individuals, a live and a dead one were reported recently for the first time from the Andaman Archipelago. Also occurs in the continental parts of Southeast Asia including Northeast India (Eastern Himalayas), Myanmar and further eastwards in Indochina (Whitaker and Captain, 2008).
Remarks: Reported for the first time from Narcondam Island by Gokulakrishnan et al. (2021). The earlier report of B. cyanea from Great Nicobar Island within the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago was shown to be erroneous and represent B. wallachi (see Chandramouli, 2017).
Status: Rare.

Yang et X. Yang, 2014.
Additionally, in the original description (Yang et al. 2014), the tarsal claws of female were described having basal teeth at pro- and meso-outer tarsal claws. What’s noted here, not only outer claws but also inner claws of pro- and meso-legs are equipped with digitiform teeth in female, based on the examination of a large series of additional material available for the present study.
Distribution. China (Hubei, Shaanxi). Newly recorded to Shaanxi Province.

Morphology: Dorsal scales smooth, in 16–17:17:13 rows; ventrals 221–229; subcaudals 124, divided; anal divided; supralabials 9 (4–6 entering orbit); preocular 1; postoculars 2; temporals 2+2. Overall colouration black with green spots in each scale and red spots on dorsal scales. Venter uniform pale green.
Distribution: A diurnal non-endemic species restricted to Narcondam Island in the Andaman archipelago. Not found in any other island within the main Andaman chain of islands.
Remarks: The two specimens specified here were collected by the police personnel and reported during an expedition to Narcondam by Humayun Abdulali of the BNHS in early 1969-70 (Abdulali, 1971) that were recently dealt with by Chandramouli and Adhikari (2022). A fairly recent survey on this island has not recorded this species (Raman et al., 2013). It is widespread in other parts of Southeast Asia (Whitaker and Captain, 2004) and absent on other islands of the Andaman archipelago.
Status: Rare.

Remarks. Spirostreptus procerus Gerstäcker, 1873 has, at least since Attems (1914), been regarded as a synonym of the widely distributed East African species Archispirostreptus gigas (Peters, 1855). Nevertheless, because of the primary homonymy, a replacement name is required for Spirostreptus procerus Attems, 1934, a species described and repeatedly recorded from D.R. Congo (Zaire). The synonym S. missionarius Attems, 1953, is available and is here, as Analocostreptus missionarius (Attems, 1953), accepted as the valid name of the species.

Type species
Siamopsis renateae gen. et sp. nov. (here designated)
Diagnosis
RV overlapping LV anteriorly, ventrally and posteriorly. LV in internal view with postero-dorsal plate. Posterior margin of RV recurved inwardly. Wouters organ on A1 present, aesthetasc ya long. Terminal segment of Mx1 palp cylindrical, very elongated (length> 2 × width). A2 with well developed claws, long natatory setae, with two t-setae in females. T1 with a-setae (b, c and d setae absent). T2 with d2 seta (d1 seta absent). CR reduced, flagellum-like, cylindrical in shape.
Etymology
The genus is named after the country “ Siam ”, the former name of Thailand, where the new taxa were discovered. The name is combined with the suffix of the existing generic name Cypridopsis.
Differential diagnosis
Siamopsis gen. nov. can be distinguished from other genera of the subfamily Cypridopsinae by the presence of a postero-dorsal internal plate of the LV and the morphology of the posterior inner valve margin of the RV, which is recurved inwardly. Additionally, it differs from its closest genus, Plesiocypridopsis Rome, 1965, by the presence of the A1 Wouters organ, the two t-setae of the female A2 (there are four t-setae in Plesiocypridopsis) and the morphology of the two large bristles (teeth bristles) on the Mx1 third endite, of which one bristle is smooth while the other one is serrated (both setae are serrated in Plesiocypridopsis).
Species included
Siamopsis renateae gen. et sp. nov., S. suttajiti gen. et sp. nov., S. conspecta gen. et sp. nov., S. khoratensis gen. et sp. nov., S. planitia gen. et sp. nov.
Distribution
Thailand (present study).
Remarks
The postero-dorsal plate of the internal LV bears tooth- or teeth-like tubercle(s) in several species of Siamopsis gen. nov. The position of these tubercles can vary from species to species, being on, for example, the margin or in the middle of the plate. The degree of the inward curve on the RV posterior margin is different among species. Therefore, these aspects are used as taxonomic characters for identification.

RECOGNITION. Paranysson inermis differs from its congeners by its unusually long apical flagellomere (Fig. 30) whose length is 2.6 × its basal width (2.0- 2.2 in P. oscari, and less than that in the other species). The propodeum lacking the longitudinal carina between the side and posterior surface (Fig. 28) is shared only with most specimens of P. oscari.
The female has two other distinctive characters: the clypeal free margin without lateral teeth (Fig. 26), and the hindcoxal venter unarmed, without tubercle or spine (Fig. 29).
The male is unique in having a narrow, triangular, unsculptured pygidial plate (Fig. 31). Two characters are subsidiary recognition features shared only with P. oscari: sparsely punctate terga V-VII, and an obtuse lateral carina on tergum VI (Fig. 31).
DESCRIPTION. Clypeal lamella without lateral teeth (Fig. 26), bevel separated from basal clypeal part by sharp carina (carina reduced mesally). Propodeal dorsum essentially ridged longitudinally, ridges interconnected. Longitudinal carina between propodeal side and posterior surface lacking (Fig. 28).
♀ – Ocellocular distance equal to 1.2 × distance between hindocelli (Fig. 27). Dorsal length of flagellomere I 2.2 × apical width, of apical flagellomeres 2.6 × basal width (apical flagellomere longer than the penultimate). Hindcoxal venter without tubercle or spine (Fig. 29). Pygidial plate with a few, sparse punctures. Length 16.3 mm.
♂ – Ocellocular distance equal to 1.2 × distance between hindocelli; dorsal length of flagellomere I 1.7 × apical width, of apical flagellomere 2.6 × its basal width. Terga V-VII sparsely punctate, tergum VI with lateral, obtuse carina on each side (Fig. 31), pygidial plate narrow, triangular (Fig. 31). Length 11.0- 11.3 mm

Federated data

description: EOSC-ENTRUST aims to create a European network of Trusted Research Environments (TREs) for sensitive data and drive European interoperability between TREs by development of a common blueprint for federated data access and analysis – the EOSC-ENTRUST Blueprint & Interoperability Framework (ENTRUST Blueprint, for short). The final ENTRUST Blueprint will consist of template legal agreements, architecture specifications, operating procedures, interface definitions, and a glossary of terminologies. This document is the first version of the ENTRUST Blueprint and presents a draft architecture specification and glossary.

All existing specifications and implementations of sensitive data processing environments are based on stand-alone design with no or very limited data interoperability. The inclusion of interoperability can lead to profound changes in the basic assumptions of these environment requirements. Therefore, we have drafted a general purpose vision of this interoperability based on preliminary versions of the DARE UK Federated Architecture Blueprint (DARE UK Blueprint, for short). The DARE UK Blueprint is based on the Five Safes framework and dataspace design thinking to allow research on sensitive data within a network of participating TREs. We have carefully mapped four existing TRE architectures and the first version of ENTRUST Driver use case requirements to the high level DARE UK Blueprint. Our analyses suggest that our architecture proposal should fit existing European TRE provider architectures and support all Driver requirements while maintaining the Five Safes principles for sensitive data research.

Going forward, we will collaborate with the Drivers to evaluate the current architecture proposal and with additional TRE providers to collect broader data on how provider TREs map to the ENTRUST Blueprint capabilities. We will open our proposed architecture for broader comments and suggestions for improvement through a dedicated version-controlled project.

Melipona cacciae Nurse 1907: 619: Lectotype (BMNH 17b.1103, worker): examined, “ LECTOTYPE ” (blue border), “ Type ” (red border), “B.M. TYPE / HYM. / 17B.1103”, “ Melipona / cacciae / (Nurse)”, “Col. C.G. Nurse / Collection. / 1920-72 ”, “Hoshung- / -abad / Type ”, “ LISOTRIGONA / cacciae (Nurse) / det. M. S. Engel, 1999”, “ LECTOTYPE / Melipona / cacciae Nurse / design. J. S. Moure, 1961 / (ref: Engel, Oriental Insects, 2000)”. Type locality: INDIA, Madhya Pradesh, Hoshangabad [ca. 23.25°N, 78.2°E].
Provenance: Charles George Nurse (1862–1933) based his description on specimens collected by A.M.F. Caccia, of the Indian Forest Department, and presented to Nurse though the courtesy of Isaac Henry Burkill (1870–1965), reporter on Economic Products to the Government of India since 1902.
Comments: Engel (2000) synonymized Trigona scintillans Cockerell, 1920 from Sandakan, Borneo, under L. cacciae (from India). Engel (2000) found no structural differences between the specimens and although coloration varied both within and between specimens from different locations, he pointed out that even the original type series of L. cacciae from a single locality, as described by Nurse (1907), included specimens with variable coloration (“abdomen dark red … [to] almost black in some specimens”). Jobiraj and Narendran (2004) in their account of Lisotrigona from India did not have access to the type specimen of L. cacciae and made a few misinterpretations in their comparisons to this species: in L. cacciae the head is near black in some specimens (not brown to dark brown), the gena is finely punctate (not impunctate) (Fig. 3 g), pubescence on clypeus is too short to clearly distinguish whether or not it is plumose (stated as being simple) (Fig. 3 d), but the hypoepimeron (immediately above the scrobal groove) has very fine hairs (not without hairs). In addition, the metanotum is imbricate but approaching reticulate sensu Harris (1979). The diagnostic characters for L. mohandasi thus approach L. cacciae, and a direct comparison of the two primary type specimens is necessary to encounter reliable diagnostic characters for their separation.

Material studied: One adult, CIARI uncatalogued from Sippighat, South Andaman (Fig. 4D).
Morphology: Dorsal scales smooth, in 19:19:17 rows; ventrals 240; subcaudals 66; subcaudals 66, divided; anal divided; supralabials 6; none in contact with eye; a small subocular separating spralabials and the eye; infralabials 7 (1–4 in contact with genials); preocular 1; postocular 1; loreal 1; temporals 1+2. Dorsal colouration blackish with yellowish white bands throughout the body and tail. Venter pale white.
Distribution: Nocturnal and elusive. One juvenile was recorded in a thick mangrove swamp (~ 40 cm deep) area at dusk in Henry Lawrance Island of the Ritchie’s Archipelago. Considering that it is a mangrove dwelling species, it is likely to occur throughout most parts of the coastal mangrove swamps in the Andaman Islands.
Remarks: Wall (1919) reported it for the first time from the Andaman Islands. Ghodke et al. (2018) reported on crab-ripping behavior of C. violacea based on observations on a mud-flat from Nakabwe, Middle Andaman.
Status: Though a single individual was recorded during the present study, Ghodke and Andrews (2001) reported it to be very common in the mudflats of Cheppo, North Andaman.
