Compsoneuria kovaci

description: Compsoneuria (Siamoneuria) kovaci Braasch, 2005
Some revisional notes on this species are advisable relating to an unnecessary synonymization by Webb and McCafferty (2008). According to the well defined outlines of the genus Compsoneuria by the authors, larval diagnosis of Compsoneuria (Siamoneuria) is in contradiction to that of Compsoneuria, namely in lacking the combination of “long, sharply pointed supracoxal spurs (as in Fig. 79), black spotting on the head capsule and femora, and narrow, apically pointed glossae (Fig. 68)”. Compsoneuria (Siamoneuria) is characterized in male adults by having a hammer-like ecdyonuroid penis head with dorsally well developed lateral sclerites and by absence of ventral spines. Moreover, the larvae are without any features to join them with true Ecdyonurini, for example setate caudal filaments or fimbriate maxillae.
Considering also some larval characters discussed by Braasch (2005), we conclude that Siamoneuria cannot belong in Compsoneuria but probably deserves its own status, a morphospecies possibly independent of other known genera. Further studies on eggs and other larval details are needed for a better assessment of its rightful placement within Heptageniidae (see in Braasch, 2006c, p. 49–50, Figs. 1–21). For now, we see it as a species INCERTAE SEDIS.
Larval characters of Compsoneuria kovaci incertae sedis are: a) unthickened margin of forehead, also in Electrogena Zurwerra & Tomka, 1985 and Thamnodontus Kluge, 2004 (Webb & McCafferty 2008); b) long slender antennae; close standing of labial glossae rounded; c) special gill set: gills III + IV notched and gills V + VI angled; gill VII narrow lanceolate; d) caudal filaments 1.3x longer and 1.2x broader than terminal filament; e) tibiae each with 1 row of long, fine setae; f) rounded supracoxal sclerites (also in Electrogena and Thamnodontus); g) larvae without median abdominal ridge which is in Notacanthurus Tshernova, 1974 (Kluge 2004) and in Darthus vadorus Webb &.McCafferty, 2007.
Adults can be excluded from Thamnodontus and Notacanthurus by lacking anteriorly expanded head capsules and from Electrogena by absence of “teardrop shaped penes with partially fused apical and lateral sclerites” (Webb & McCafferty 2008).

Epeorus nguyenbaeorum

description: Epeorus nguyenbaeorum Braasch and Boonsoong sp. nov.
This species was figured by Nguyen and Bae (2004) as Epeorus hieroglyphicus Braasch & Soldán, 1984, from Vietnam. Prof. Dr. Bae, being corresponding author, was informed by personal communication (Braasch, 15.IX.2004) about the misinterpretation of the species in question, of which he has given kindly acknowledgement (Bae, 30.IX.2004 personal communication). In honour of Dr. Van Vhin Nguyen as discoverer of the new species and Prof. Dr. Yoon Jae Bae as his adviser and co-author, we name the new species Epeorus nguyenbaeorum sp. nov.
Material: HOLOTYPE: Female La (Figs. 19–24), Vietnam, Ha Giang Prov., Vi Xuyen, Than Thuy, 08.XII.2000, leg. Nguyen. Described by Nguyen & Bae (2004a: p. 19–28, Figs. 19–24: head and pronotum (Fig. 19), foreleg, dorsal (Fig. 20); abdomen, dorsal (Fig. 21), gill I (Fig. 22), gill III (Fig. 23), gill VII (Fig. 24). PARATYPES: 2 La, same locality; 2 La, Ha Giang Prov., Vi Xuyen, Tay Con Linh. 09.XII.2000, leg. V.V. Nguyen.
Diagnosis: The head of E. nguyenbaeorum with its quadrangular shape and conspicuous pattern contrasts strikingly with that of E. hieroglyphicus, which has a rhomboid head with a central marking according to Braasch & Soldán (1984a: Fig. 22, p.112); marks of the pronotum occupy the anterior half in E. hieroglyphicus, whereas E. nguyenbaeorum has only an anteromedian brown mark. Contrary to E. hieroglyphicus, having a submedian row of oblique streaks along sterna, the new species is without any pattern. Microscopic structure of abdominal terga in E. nguyenbaeorum is quite different in showing hind margin fringes with relatively long setae alternating with short acute bristles (Nguyen & Bae 2004a: p. 24, Fig. 21), lacking in E. hieroglyphicus, which has 2 submedian tubercles covered with 2 minute, spiny bristles and scattered with short hairs at the posterior margin of each tergum (Braasch & Soldán 1984a: p. 112, Fig. 27). The gill set offers distinct differences in gill I being egg-shaped (Nguyen & Bae 2004a: p. 24, Fig. 22) in the new species, but pear-shaped in true E. hieroglyphicus (Braasch & Soldán 1984a: p.112, Fig. 28), and in gill VII being obovate, whereas that of E. hieroglyphicus is somewhat oblong and distally with an asymmetrically pointed tip; gill III is large and elliptical in both species.

description: Epeorus bifurcatus Braasch & Soldán, 1979
Material examined. 1 La: Thailand, Tak Province, 16°30’ N, 99°00’ E, alt. ca 400 m, XI. 2008, leg. Freitag, Manila, det. Braasch).
Diagnosis. Epeorus bifurcatus is a smaller species (length to 12 mm), recognizable by a pair of relatively short submedian spines on terga I–IX, flatly elliptical head (Nguyen & Bae, 2004a: p. 21, Figs. 7,9), posterior margins of terga with densely rowed blunt bristles, surface of terga with very fine scattered setae, only a weak fringe of small setae shorter than spines in the medial groove of terga and with triangular gill I of same length as following gills, all equally ovaloid, and femora with spot (Braasch & Soldán 1979: p.266, Figs. 15–22). Contrastingly, E. rhithralis, as well as E. bifurcatus, have ovaloid shape of head, long elliptic form of first gill, pointed bristles on posterior margins of terga and lack of groove on terga (Braasch 1980: p. 63, Figs. 4 b–l). Other species from the region are either without any spines as Epeorus hieroglyphicus, E. khayengensis, E. papillatus, E. suspicatus, E. tiberius Braasch & Soldán, 1984, or provided with pairs of tubercles like E. rhithralis or with pairs of long spines like E. aculeatus, E. bispinosus Braasch, 1980 and Iron martensi.
Discussion. Epeorus bifurcatus is new for Thailand. To date this species is only known from Vietnam (Nguyen & Bae 2004a) and Thailand. Comments on its distribution are seen above under Epeorus inthanonensis. Adults and subadults are unknown.

description: Iron martinus Braasch & Soldán, 1984
Material examined. 5 La, Chiang Rai Province, Khun Kon Waterfall, 19°52’59.11’’N, 99°36’58.39’’E, alt. ca 800 m; II. 2004, leg. Braasch; DB.
Diagnosis. Iron martinus is easily recognized among the few South-east Asian representatives of the genus (s. above) by having rhomboid head, pairs of moderately long spines on terga I–IX, large but narrow gill I forming a sucking disc, an unfolded gill VII and a dark femur spot (Braasch & Soldán 1984a: p. 113, Figs. 35–44; Nguyen & Bae 2004b: p. 103, Figs. 1–6). Femur spot present in Vietnamese specimens (Nguyen & Bae 2004b: p. 103, Fig. 2) as also proved by (Braasch & Soldán 1984: p. 111: ‘Auf den Femora Femurfleck’), and it is likewise present in specimens from Thailand.
Second south-east Asian species of genus, Iron longitibius sp. nov. (s. above) differs from I. martinus by having rounded triangular head with anterior margin straight and slightly emarginated, spine-less terga, relatively long foretibiae (ca. 1.2 length of forefemora), gill I greatly extended, overlapping beneath abdomen and broadened anteriorly forming sucking disc, and gill VII elongated, curved downward, without fold. Comparison with other Asian Iron -species is presented under foregoing Iron longitibius.

Rhithrogeniella ornata

description: Rhithrogeniella ornata Ulmer, 1939
Material examined. 5 SI males, Malaysia, Gombak River, Research-Station Senckenbergmuseum Frankfurt am Main, 16.– 20.08.2007, leg. D. Kovac, det. Braasch.
Diagnosis. The longer male subimagos of Rhithrogeniella ornata (5.5-7.0 mm) can be separated from R. tonkinensis Soldán & Braasch, 1986 by: a pair of brown paramedian bands, and median streak cleft on terga II–VIII (Ulmer 1939: p. 577, Fig. 170), posterior margins of terga with broad darker rim, contiguous to the bands; figure mark on tergum VIII residuary, consisting merely of two median streaks of half tergum length and a cross-streak medio-distally; and terga IX–X light. In contrast to R. ornata from Java and Sumatra (Ulmer 1939), the median streak in the specimens from Malaysia is only faintly cleft and their pattern of tergum V is somewhat blurred or extinguished. The apices of penis are bluntly pointed, and the medial portion of posterior margin of subgenital plate is slightly concave. Ulmer (1939) illustrated the male (p. 577, Fig. 165–168) and described the female (text only) of R. ornata; the larva of this species remains unknown.
In the smaller male subimagos of R. tonkinensis (4.1–4.7 mm) throu-going paramedian bands on terga II– VI, on V and VI shortened, median streaks on terga lacking, terga VII–X are light; apices of penis lobes broadly rounded; posterior margin of subgenital plate straight (Soldán & Braasch 1986: p.209, Fig. 19–20). Larvae, and larvae and imagos of R. tonkinensis are respectively figured in Soldán & Braasch (1986: p. 205, Figs. 1–8, p. 207, Figs. 9–12) and Braasch (1990: p.11, fig. 17.1–4).
Discussion. The new findings in Malaysia only presented subimago males. Therefore comparison was made along corresponding figures in Soldán and Braasch (1986) and Ulmer (1939). Now, Rhithrogeniella ornata is known from Java, Sumatra and continental West-Malaysia, whereas R. tonkinensis is found in China, Thailand and Vietnam (Braasch 1990, Ulmer 1939, You et al. 1983). We have already previously pointed out (Braasch & Boonsoong 2009) that R. tonkinensis is probably identical with ‘ Afronurus’ sangangensis (You et al. 1982: p. 62, Figs. 1–13), but we had no opportunity to confirm this by comparing Chinese material.

Diagnosis
The discovery of three new species in the genus necessitates a revision of the genus diagnosis proposed by Akkari & Enghoff (2019). Species of Attemsostreptus differ from other Spirostreptidae by the combination of the following characters: anterior margin of collum unmodified, metazonites with longitudinal ridges (carinae), or at least striae along the entire perimeter of the body (trachystreptoform habitus); prefemoral lobes of first pair of male legs triangular, covered with minute short spines; tip of gonopod coxal metaplica folded back on anterior side, forming a ‘roof’ or canopy over gonocoel; a long to very long pointed lateroapical metaplical process; gonopod telopodite long and slender, with a long to very long, pointed antetorsal process; posttorsal part of telopodite very long and thin, forming loose coils; telopodite ending in two short branches of subequal length, one broad and more or less serrated, the other acuminate.

Prionocerus viridiflavus Geiser, 2007: 168.
Type material examined: Holotype 3 and 2 paratypes 3 and Ƥ, NHMB, see Geiser, 2007 for details.
This species was described in a recent paper, so there is no need to repeat all details of the description here. A photograph of the habitus is given in fig. 39 (3), a drawing of the last male abdominal sternite in fig. 25.
Differential diagnosis: Very easily recognizable by uniformously green pronotum and large yellow humeral patches on the elytra, as well as by the distinctive shape of the elytra (narrowed in the middle, slightly dilated subapically). The last abdominal sternite in males is smallest of all Prionocerus, the aedeagus somewhat similar to P. coeruleipennis.
Distribution (fig. 45): So far known only from three localities on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. It seems to be endemic to this island.

description: Idgia huegeli (Redtenbacher, 1868)
Prionocerus hügeli Redtenbacher, 1868: 110. Idgia Hügeli: Pic, 1926: 7.
This species was described as Prionocerus and later transferred to Idgia (Pic 1926), but probably without examination of the type. The holotype is deposited at NHMW (labelled "Hügel" and " hügeli Rdt, China ") and could be examined. Apart from this, only a single specimen without locality at NHML seems to be known. It is a very unusual prionocerid of large size, shining, entirely metallic blue coloration, only very slightly serrate antennae, very elongate, rostriform head, and a deep, U-shaped incision on its subapical sternite. At least by its habitus and size it is most similar to Idgia oculata Redtenbacher, 1868, I. viridivittata Champion, 1919 and I. maculatithorax Pic, 1919. In any case it cannot be placed in Prionocerus.

description: Idgia thibetana (Obenberger, 1918)
Prionocerus thibetanus Obenberger, 1918: 60. Idgia thibetana: Pic, 1926: 9.
This species was originally described as Prionocerus and later placed in Idgia by Pic (1926), without comment. The female holotype ("Poo. West Hym, coll. Splichal", deposited at NMPC) was examined and it evidently does not belong to Prionocerus. It was compared to several specimens of I. viridescens Gorham, 1895, of which the male holotype could be examined at Pic’s collection a MNHP. No morphological differences between female I. viridescens and the type of thibetana could be found. Also, the type locality of I. thibetana falls fully within the range of I. viridescens. Therefore, it is here regarded as a junior synonym: Idgia viridescens Gorham, 1895 [= Prionocerus metallescens Fairmaire, 1896 (synonymised by Champion (1919)]; [= Prionocerus thibetanus Obenberger, 1918 n. syn.].

description: Idgia hirta (Walker, 1871) nomen dubium
Prionocerus hirtus Walker, 1871: 14. Idgia hirta: Champion, 1919: 336.
The original description of this species is very poor and the type material seems to be lost (as already noted by Champion (1919)). It was tentatively placed in Idgia, as a possible senior synonym of I. arabica Champion, 1919, although it is not from the Arabian peninsula but from the opposite African coast (Tajura is in today's Djibouti). According to its original description and its type locality, it is highly unlikely to belong to Prionocerus and rather seems to be identical to one of the African species related to I. dimidiata (Gerstaecker, 1871). As long as the type (if it still exists) is not rediscovered, it must be treated as " nomen dubium ".

Homalium analavelonae

description: 2. Homalium analavelonae Appleq., sp. nov.
(Fig. 3).
Holotypus: MADAGASCAR. Reg. Atsimo-Andrefana [Prov. Toliara]: forêt d’Analavelona au N du Fiherenana, 950–1250 m, III.1934, fl., Humbert 14236 (P [P04679164]!; iso-: G [G00341928] image seen, P [P04679167, P04679171, P04679172]!).
Homalium analavelonae Appleq. differs from H. albiflorum (Boivin ex Tul.) O. Hoffm. in its short peduncles, villous rachises, and usually larger anthers.
Tree to 12 m tall; twigs dark gray, glabrous. Leaves broadly elliptical to elliptical or broadly obovate, 5.4–12.2 × 3–7.5 cm, relatively thin-textured; margin shallowly or inconspicuously crenulate; base rounded (convex); apex cuspidate to emarginate (rounded-obtuse); both surfaces glabrous, drying greenish to pale brown, sometimes discolored adaxially; secondary veins somewhat prominent; petiole 11– 21 mm, glabrous. Inflorescences racemose, immature 2–4 cm with possibly zigzag rachis; peduncle 0.2– 0.6 cm; rachis villous; flowers 2–3 per node; pedicels 1–2 mm, pilose. Flowers probably 4–5-merous, white; sepals in early flower oblong-ovate to oblong-lanceolate, 1.5–1.7 mm, sparsely pubescent with few long appressed hairs outside, inside sometimes glabrate, margins long-ciliate; sepal glands c. 0.4 × 0.3 mm; calyx cup pilose; petals obovate, in early flower 3 – 3.7 mm, accrescence unknown, sparsely appressed-pubescent with sometimes long trichomes on both surfaces, margins short-ciliate; filaments 0.6–0.8 mm; anthers broadly elliptical, 0.3 mm high.
Distribution, ecology and conservation status. – Homalium analavelonae is known only from one collection from the southwestern massif of Analavelona (Fig. 2). Analavelona is a sacred forest and has some level of protection. Because this forest is subhumid, while forests in surrounding areas are dry (and highly degraded or lost), the species is unlikely to occur anywhere else.
This means that the species is vulnerable to having its entire population affected by a single event, so a preliminary assessment of its conservation status is “Vulnerable” [VU D2].
Notes. – Homalium analavelonae is presumed to be closely related to H. albiflorum s.str. That species has elliptical to broadly elliptical (or rarely ovate or narrow) leaves, longer racemes with well-developed peduncles and pubescent indument, and usually smaller transversely elliptical anthers (especially in its southern distribution). Its pedicels and calyx are usually pubescent (though rarely pilose) and the indument on the petals sometimes moderately dense but short. Many leaves of the type collection of H. analavelonae are damaged or irregularly shaped.

Homalium vohitsiandrianense

description: 12. Homalium vohitsiandrianense Appleq., sp. nov.
(Fig. 9).
Holotypus: MADAGASCAR. Reg. Anosy [Prov. Toliara]: massif de Vohitsiandriana au N du Cap Andrahomana, 500 m, III.1955, fl., Service Forestier 11837 (P [P04679046]!).
Homalium vohitsiandrianense Appleq. differs f rom H. rakotovaoi Appleq. in its smaller, often proportionately broader leaves with acute (to rounded or emarginate) apices, shorter racemes, minute but often dense pubescence on pedicels and calyx cups, and very large sepal glands.
Tree to 10 m tall; twigs pale to medium brown, glabrous. Leaves ovate to broadly ovate (aberrantly broadly elliptical), (4–)5–7.8 × (2–) 2.6–4.8 cm, relatively thin-textured; margin irregularly and shallowly crenulate to crenate-denticulate; base convex to rounded; apex acute (rounded, emarginate); both surfaces glabrous, drying pale greenish brown abaxially, mottled dark brown (green adaxially, glossy); secondary veins slightly prominent; petiole 10–16 mm, glabrous. Inflorescences racemose, (1.7–) 3–4 cm; peduncle 0.3–1.3 cm; rachis glabrous; flowers (1–)3–5 per node; pedicels 3–6 mm, minutely but often densely pubescent. Flowers 4-merous; sepals broadly oblong, 1.5 –1.7 mm on type, glabrous or glabrate, margins sparsely short-ciliate; sepal glands broadly elliptical and flattened, 1.2–1.3 × 0.8–0.9 mm; calyx cup minutely but rather densely pubescent; petals obovate, 3.4–4.2 mm on type, accrescence unknown, glabrous, margins not ciliate; filaments 1.8–2.4 mm; anthers broadly elliptical, 0.3 mm high.
Distribution, ecology and conservation status. – Homalium vohitsiandrianense is known only from a single 1955 collection on the southeastern massif of Vohitsiandriana (Fig. 2). The potential habitat will have been substantially reduced in the following 64 years by anthropogenic damage.
If the population still exists, the appropriate assessment of its conservation status is “Critically Endangered” [CR B1ab(iii)+B2ab(iii)].
Notes. – Though H. vohitsiandrianense is known only from the type, it is quite distinct from other species occurring in the region. It is notable for its ovate leaves, racemes with flowers often in clusters of up to 5, long pedicels, broad sepals, and very large sepal glands. The plant is mostly glabrous except for minute, almost long-papillate, but often dense pubescence on the pedicels and calyx cup. It is presumed to be the sister species of H. rakotovaoi, a northern species that shares usually ovate leaves and 4-merous, long-pedicelled flowers often borne in clusters of several. That species has larger, proportionately narrower leaves, longer racemes, and much smaller sepal glands.

Tethlimmena

description: Tethlimmena Bates, 1872
Tethlimmena Bates, 1872: 185; Gemminger, 1872: 2895 (cat.); Bates, 1880: 45; Aurivillius, 1912: 287 (cat.); Monné, 1993: 57 (cat.); 2005: 261 (cat.); 2012: 26; 2021: 623 (cat.).
Remarks. Bates (1872) included Tethlimmena in Eroschemini, and it has been kept in this tribe by many authors (e.g. Aurivillius 1912, Maes 1998, Hovore 2006, Swift et al. 2010, Maes et al. 2010, Bezark 2021b). Tethlimmena Bates, 1872 appears in Monné (2021) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2021) in Oxycoleini. According to Martins & Galileo (2003) (translated): “In 1911, Gounelle described Tethlimmena gahani. Tethlimmena was allocated in the tribe Eroschemini, constituted by species unique to Australia and similar to Lycidae; he based his description in a female with abdominal ventrites modified [Figs 16, 19, 24, 31, 33, 37], therefore, different from females of Eroschemini (or of Molorchini), which have the abdominal ventrites normal [Figs. 6–7]. Thus, the original allocation of Tethlimmena was wrong.” However, it was Bates (1872) who included Tethlimmena in Eroschemini, although the abdominal ventrites of the female of the type-species, T. aliena Bates, 1872, are modified. Unfortunately, Martins & Galileo (2003) were not very clear about the inclusion of Tethlimmena in Oxycoleini. Júlio (1997) considered Tethlimmena as belonging to Eroschemini (translated): “In this work we described two new species from Brazil, propose the synonymy between O. latipennis (Zajciw, 1964) and Tethlimmena gahani var. tristis Melzer, 1933 and two new combinations, O. tristis (Melzer, 1933) (from Tethlimmena) and O. gahani (Gounelle, 1911) (from Tethlimmena) thus, the Eroschemini being restricted to Asia, Australia and Central America.” We think that Tethlimmena must be allocated to Oxycoleini, and that the transference, poorly established in Martins & Galileo (2003) is correct.
Tethlimmena differs from Oxycoleus by the elytra without humeral carina, not dehiscent, at least slightly widened toward the apex, which is rounded. The antennomeres in males (Figs 4–5) and females of the type species are distinctly widened toward the apex and distinctly flattened. However, in males of T. basalis Gahan, 1895 the antennomeres are distinctly less expanded toward the apex. This may suggest they belong to different genera. Unfortunately, we have no specimens of T. basalis and have only a single male of T. aliena Bates, 1872. Therefore, further studies are needed to confirm or not that they belong to the same genus.

Wappesia

description: Wappesia gen. nov.
Type species: Tethlimmena gahani Gounelle, 1911.
Description. Head with well-marked median groove, reaching level of upper eye lobes. Pronotum with six tubercles, (antero- and posterolateral subfused): anterolateral tubercles delimited by sulcus at anterior margin; posterolateral (the largest) posteriorly delimited by sulcus that extends to inner side; anterocentral tubercle elongate, placed near anterior margin; and posterocentral tubercle elliptical, placed between posterolateral tubercles. Sides of prothorax with two tubercles, one centrally, another near anterior margin. Elytra covering or almost covering abdomen, slightly widened toward apex; without humeral carina; surface coarsely punctate; with slightly sinuous apex. Metatibiae slightly arched.
Female: Unknown.
Etymology. The generic name is in honor of our late friend James E. Wappes (1944–2021). Feminine gender.
Remarks. Júlio (1997) provided a key to species of Oxycoleus, which already indicated this genus was composed of two genera, except for the shape of the antennomeres (translated): “1. Elytra with carina; antennomeres cylindrical;” “Elytra without carina; antennomeres compressed.” However, the wide and sinuous shape of the elytral apices, easily separates Wappesia from others related genera.

Remarks. According to Melzer (1933) (translated): “I have a specimen, collected by Sr. A. Maller in Mafra (Santa Catarina), and abstracting from the coloration, agrees well with the original description of this species [T. gahani]. Uniform black in color, only the neck and gula are yellowish-red and the anterior edge of the prosternum is rustyred. Although the difference in color is notable, I still think it is just a new variety...”
Later, Zajciw (1964) described Merionoeda (Merionoeda) latipennis based on two specimens also from Mafra and also collected by A. Maller. The holotype male and the allotype female were destroyed during the fire in 2018 at the MNRJ. Júlio (1997) provided a new rank for T. tristis, transferred it to Oxycoleus, and considered M. (M.) latipennis as its junior synonym. In the key to species of Oxycoleus, Júlio (1997) separated O. tristis from O. gahani as follows (translated): “Pronotum black; elytra dark brown, opaque,” leading to O. tristis; “Pronotum reddish-brown; elytra bluish, shiny,” leading to O. gahani. However, Gounelle (1911) described the color of the female holotype as follows (translated): “Black, thorax, anterior and middle coxae rufous, labrum testaceous.” He also described the elytra as opaque and with also opaque subtle pubescence. These two affirmations by Gounelle (1911), apparently, contradict the information about T. gahani in the key by Júlio (1997). Unfortunately, all specimens examined by Júlio (1997) belonged to the MNRJ and were destroyed during the fire in 2018. Thus, it is not possible to confirm whether or not they belonged to T. gahani.
Material examined. BRAZIL, Minas Gerais: Pouso Alegre, 1 male [reported as being female in Martins & Galileo (2003)], I.1960, Pereira & Medeiros leg. (MZSP). Santa Catarina: Mafra, holotype female of T. gahani tristis, XII.1932, A. Maller leg. (MZSP).

Computer Vision (CV), a form of Machine Learning (ML), can successfully detect CME in solar images (SOHO/LASCO C2)

 

COTS ML models, when trained with data processed using novel image processing techniques, perform better than prior bespoke models in the task of identifying CME.

 

Use of COTS ML models provides a significant savings in needed resources (CPU time, Training dataset size) which makes many more potential problems solvable using CV.

Oxycoleus gahani; Júlio, 1997: 5; Martins & Galileo, 2003: 62; Monné, 2005: 427 (cat.); 2021: 622 (cat.).
Remarks. As seen above, one of the features pointed out by Júlio (1997) to separate T. gahani from T. tristis was the color of the prothorax. However, this feature is variable intraspecifically at least in some species of Oxycoleus. Therefore, this variation is expected to also occurs in Wappesia. It is probable that Melzer (1933) was correct: Tethlimmena tristis being just a chromatic variation of Tethlimmena gahani. See remarks on W. tristis. The male illustrated by Júlio (1997) has the antennae distinctly longer than in the holotype male of Merionoeda (Merionoeda) latipennis, and also than in the male of W. tristis (Fig. 3). This may reinforce that Oxycoleus gahani sensu Júlio (1997) belongs to a different species.

Remarks. According to Martins & Galileo (2005), the antennomeres III–V are cylindrical in the holotype of this species, the only known specimen. Examining the photograph of the holotype in the original description, as well as that on Bezark (2021a), the information appears to be true. This feature would include the species in Oxycoleus. However, the elytra not dehiscent, wide and sinuous apically, without humeral carina, include the species in Wappesia. As female specimens are unknown, it is not possible to know if the antennomeres are also cylindrical in this sex. Nevertheless, the shape of the antennomeres in this species suggests this feature is variable in the genus. Therefore, the shape of the antennomeres would not be a generic feature. This conclusion can only be confirmed or refuted by studying specimens of both sexes of all species.
According to the original description, the holotype belongs to the FSCA. However, it actually belongs to the MNKM collection.
