Austrosciara pedibusa

description: Austrosciara pedibusa sp. n.
(Fig. 4 A‒E)
Locus typicus: Australia, Victoria, Central Highlands, Donna Buang Road, 1 km SW of Mt Donna Buang, 37° 43’S, 144°40’16’’E, Nothofagus cunninghamii forest.
Holotype: Female, 29.xi.1994 ‒ 20.i.1995; pitfall trap, leg. G. Milledge (NMV).
Paratypes: 2 females, same data as holotype (PWMP, PKHH).
Description. Female. Head. Eye bridge 2‒3 facets wide. 4th flagellomere with l/w-index of 1.8, with brown and sparse bristle-like hairs, somewhat longer than the width of the basal node; a few curved hyaline sensilla-like hairs in between. Necks rather long. Palpi short, 3-segmented; basal segment large, having a deep sensory pit with long sensillae and 1 bristle. Thorax. Brownish, the pleural sclerites are nearly normal in shape, and not reduced or fused. Scutum with dark, short and fine hairs. Wing strongly reduced, half as long as the thorax, scale-shaped (in lateral view rod-like). Haltere short, strongly reduced, misshapen. Legs brownish; apex of the fore tibia with a comb-like undivided row of 4‒5 hyaline bristles; middle and hind tibia with equally long spurs, as long as the diameter of the tibial apex; tarsus with somewhat shortened segments; claws toothless. Abdomen. Brown, with rather long and sparse dark hairs. Body size: 1.6 mm.
Comments. The species is characterized by a 3-segmented palpus with a deep sensory pit on the basal segment and short antennal flagellomeres. The deep sensory pit with long sensillae distinguishes females of Aus. pedibusa sp. n. from the two other brachypterous species (Aus. termitophila and Austrosciara sp.). We consider this character suitable to identify male specimens of Aus. pedibusa sp. n., but they are unknown to us so far.

description: Abies pinsapo Boissier (1838 [February]: 8)
≡ Pinus pinsapo (Boiss.) Antoine (1841: 65)
– A. hispanica Chambray (1845: 339) (nom. illeg., ICN Art. 52.1)
Type (lectotype designated by Burdet et al. 1981: 546):—[SPAIN. Málaga], “Sª de la Nieve”, [September]-1837, E. Boissier s.n. [David Ravey, Pablo Prolongo and F. Haenseler (see note below)] (G barcode G00047732! “le lectotype est le rameau de droite sur la feuille munie de l’étiquette a” [the lectotype is the right branch on the sheet with the label a]) (Fig. 2).
Note:According to the protologue (see also Boissier 1839-1845, and González Bueno 2010) the lectotype was collected in 1837 in: “Sierra Bermeja, Estepona” (Boissier 1839-1845(vol. 2): 585) or “Sierra de la Nieve” [according to the protologue: perhaps in Yunquera (Boissier 1839-1845(vol. 2): 585)], on 15 May [according to Boissier (1839-1845(vol. 1): 51, 55) and González Bueno (2010: 9) for the material collected in Sierra Bermeja, Estepona] and September [according to the protologue for the material collected in “Sierra de la Nieve” (Yunquera?), see also Boissier (1839- 1845(vol. 1): 155) and González Bueno (2010: 9, 13)]. This material was collected by E. Boissier [according to the protologue and Boissier (1839-1845, 1: 41, 51, 155) and González Bueno (2010)], together with David Ravey and Antonio (in the collection on 15 May), and David Ravey, Pablo Prolongo & F. Haenseler (in the collection on September).

Austrosciara

description: Austrosciara sp.
(Fig. 5 A‒C)
Material: 1 female, 29.xi.1994 ‒ 20.i.1995, Australia, Victoria, Central Highlands, Donna Buang Road, 1 km SW of Mt Donna Buang, 37°43’S, 144°40’16’’E, pitfall trap, Nothofagus cunninghamii forest, leg. G. Milledge; 1 female, 14.ix.‒14.xi.1995, Australia, Victoria, Strzelecki Ranges, Tarra-Bulga National Park, 0.2 km W of Tarra Valley Picnic Area, 38°27’S, 146°32’E, pitfall trap, Nothofagus cunninghamii forest, leg. G. Milledge (PWMP).
Description. Female. Head. Eye bridge 3 facets wide. 4th flagellomere with l/w-index of 1.8, with sparse pale hairs as long as the width of the basal node; a few curved hyaline sensilla-like bristles in between. Necks rather long. Palpus 3-segmented, short; basal segment without a deepened sensory area but with 2‒3 bristles. Thorax. Brown, the pleural sclerites are nearly normal in shape, not reduced or fused. Scutum with short and dark hairs. Wing strongly reduced, half as long as the thorax, scale-shaped. Haltere short, strongly reduced, misshapen. Legs brownish; apex of the fore tibia with a comb-like row of bristles, divided, with 2‒3 separated bristles; middle and hind tibia with equally long spurs, somewhat longer than the diameter of the tibial apex; claws without teeth. Abdomen. Brown with dark hairs. Body size: 2.2 mm.
Comments. Austrosciara sp. differs from the females of the other two species described above by possessing a 3-segmented palpus with no deepened sensory pit on the basal segments. The thorax has reduced wings and the halteres are very similar in all three species. We do not officially name this species, as its identification is more difficult than for Aus. pedibusa, due to the lack of distinctive characters. However, we do present it in order to illustrate the diversity of wing reduced Austrosciara.

Abies marocana

description: Abies marocana Trabaud (1906: 154)
The protologue of Abies marocana (Trabaud 1906: 154) includes a diagnosis in French “Feuilles aiguës, épaisses à la base, plus larges et plus longues que dans l’ A. Pinsapo, ne se tordant pas à la base pour infléchir sur les rameaux, hypoderme double, stomates sur les deux faces de la feuille, mais en moindre quantité sur la face supérieure; glandes résinifères sur l’hypoderme inférieur; còne non vu”, followed by a locality, date and collector (“Les montagnes du sud de Tétuan, à Chechaouen janvier 1906 [Joly]”), an illustration (a photo) (“T. LIII (1906). Pl. III”, identified as “ Picea marocana Trabut. ”), accompanied by an explanation (“Deux rameaux d’ Abies marocana Trab. gr. nat.”), and some comments with several differences among this new species and A. pinsapo and A. numidica. The protologue also includes a reference to a gathering: “M. Joly, qui a explore dernièrement les montganes de Tétuan et qui y a découvert le Viscum cruciatum sur l’Olivier, nous a fait parvenir ces jours-ci de la meme region des rameaux d’un Abies ”.
Farjon (2010: 112, 2017) mentioned “Type not designated”.Among the original elements, the illustration provided in the protologue can be considered original material. In addition, we have located at MPU two relevant specimens that belong to the gathering details mentioned in the protologue. Thus, this material can be treated as syntypes (Art. 9.6 and Art. 40 Note 1 of the ICN, see Turland et al. 2018).
The specimen with barcode MPU007733 bears four stems (two of these perhaps are the ones that were photographed and included in the protologue) and leaves, an envelope with leaves, and a label annotated as “Herbier d’Algérie / Abies marocana Trab. / Type! / Chechaouen / Zone Esp. Maroc / leg. A. Joly 1905 / D. L. Trabut ” (Fig. 5). The specimen with barcode MPU007735 bears six stems with leaves and separate leaves, and a label annotated as: “Herbier d’Algérie / Abies marocana Trab. / (Type!) / Montagne Chechaouen / Maroc Esp. / legit Joly / L. Trabut. ” (https://herbier.umontpellier.fr/zoomify/zoomify.php?fichier=MPU007735).
In conclusion, among the original elements mentioned above (the image and specimens at MPU), and according to Art. 9.12 of the ICN, we designate the specimen at MPU with barcode MPU007733 as the lectotype of the name Abies marocana.

Remarks: Huguet del Villar (1947: 79) described Abies tazaotana providing a description. No specimens or illustrations were cited in the protologue.
In addition, we have not found any original material of A. tazaotana in the herbaria consulted (i.e., BM, K, MA, MAF, MPU, P, etc.). Accordingly, in the absence of any other extant original material, a neotype can be designated according to Art. 9.8 of the ICN.
In this sense, a modern specimen with available molecular data (AFLP and cpSSR), that was used and cited by Terrab et al. (2007), Sánchez-Robles et al. (2014), and Balao et al. (2020) is selected as the neotype. This specimen was collected in Jbel Tazaot (NW Morocco) and is preserved at SEV, with number SEV 277703 (Fig. 6). The provenance of the neotype matches the natural distribution of A. tazaotana. Further, the specimen (a complete and well preserved branch with leaves and male cones) clearly represents the traditional concept (see e.g., Huguet del Villar 1947, Franco 1950, Maire & Weiller 1952) and the current application of the name (see e.g., Quézel & Barbero 1990, Quézel 1991, Arista & Talavera 1994, Govaerts 1995, Conifer Specialist Group 1998, Esteban et al. 2009, Linares 2011).

Abies numidica

description: Abies numidica de Lannoy ex Carrière (1866: 106)
The protologue of Abies numidica (Carrière 1866: 106) includes a complete and extensive description of this plant, a diagnosis to differentiate it from A. pinsapo, and several comments about the locality: “confinée dans la Kabylie algérienne, cette ancienne province à laquelle les Romains avaient donné le nom de Numidie. Elle habite tout particulièrement les monts Tababor et Grand-Babor, à une altitude assez élevée pour que, dans certains endroits, la neige soit presque permanente”.
The protologue also includes relevant comments referring to the studied gatherings: “A plusieurs reprises, il a eu l’obligeance de m’envoyer des échantillons à divers états de cette espèce, et c’est d’après ceux-ci que j’ai fait la description ci-dessus”.
Farjon (2010: 108) mentioned “Type not designated”. We have located a specimen relevant at P, with barcode P00507232. This specimen bears a stem well preserved, with leaves, and a label annotated as “Herb. Mus. Paris. / Abies numidica Delannoy / Mt Tababor Kabylie province / In Constantine / Donné par M. Delannoy ” (Fig. 7). Maybe this specimen could be treated as a “ syntype ”. However, it is clearly relevant that the specimen lacks any annotation by Carrière that undoubtedly links it to the material mentioned by Carrière in the prologue. The specimen does not have the collection date. In addition, there is also no evidence or any link to consider the specimen at P as part of the material sent by Lannoy to Carrière before the publication of the protologue. Therefore, unfortunately, this material cannot be indubitably considered as original material according to ICN Art. 9.4.
However, the specimen P00507232 is the only material that we have found collected by Lannoy in the localities cited in the protologue (Constantine, Kabylie, Tababor). The specimen is well preserved and clearly represents the traditional concept and current application of A. numidica (Alizoti et al. 201, Farjon 2017). This material is designated as the neotype of the name.

Remarks: Cosson (1866: 144) mentioned a concrete gathering in the protologue of Abies pinsapo var. baborensis: “[…] Muséum d’histoire naturelle […] De magnifiques échantillons, munis de cones développés, ont été publiés, en 1861, par les soins de M. Kralik, conservateur de mes collections et l’un des collaborateurs habituels de mes explorations en Algérie. La plante, dans un Exsiccata édité par lui sous le nom de Plantae Algeriensis selectae, porte le nº 144 et est déterminée par moi Abies pinsapo, var. Baborensis. Les échantillons ont été recueillis, le 21 juillet 1861, par MM. A. Letourneux, H. de la Perraudière, Kralik et moi, ainsi que par M. Lambert”.
We have found several specimens at K, VTA, and P belonging to the gathering cited in the protologue, and therefore can be treated as syntypes. The specimens with barcodes K000076230, K000076228 (Fig. 8), K000076226, P00507233, P00507234, P00507235, P00507236, P01636208, and VTA067017, contain the printed original label of the exsiccatum, annotated as: “ L.

On the other hand, the specimen with barcode K000076225 bears a label annotated as: “ Abies Pinsapo Boiss. var. Baborensis Coss. / Baborensis / Djebel Tababor. / petite Kabylie, prov. de Constantine, Algèrie. / E. Cosson, 21 Juill. 1861”. In conclusion, we designate the specimen with barcode K000076228 as the lectotype of Abies pinsapo var. baborensis. It is the most complete and informative specimen of the exsiccatum number 144 collected by L. Kralik in 1861 (Fig. 8).

description: Genus Jembra Metcalf & Horton, 1934
Diagnosis. Adults. The following combinations of characteristics of the genus Jembra are modified from Liang (1999: 339), and apparently separate Jembra from other genera in the tribe Aphrophorini: (1) pronotum with a median longitudinal carina and two pairs of indistinctly intermediate longitudinal carinae; (2) middle coxa with meracanthus (Figs.1 A, 2F, 3G, 5K) on ventrolateral side, fin-shaped, lamellate, tapering to apex, with distinct or indistinct carina(e) on the middle and/or inner margin of dorsal side; (3) ventral processes of pygofer (= subgenital plates = genital plates) narrow, well separated from pygofer (Figs. 1 C, 3J), bilobed, excavated centrally, widely separated distally, apex acute and directed mesad; (4) genital styles (= parameres) nearly Y-shaped (Figs. 1 D–E, 5O–P) or triangular (Figs. 3 K–L); (5) aedeagus with shaft very short, apical portion very broad, lamellate and flat, strongly extended laterodorsally (Figs. 1 G–J, 3N–P).
Nymphs. In this paper the external nymphal morphology of Jembra is examined and presented for the first time, based on the fourth and fifth instar nymphs of J. taiwana sp. nov. as follows: (1) body length 11.54–12.43 mm, width (includes wing pads) 4.76–5.73 mm; (2) head in ventral view rhombus shaped (Figs. 5 B, 5D); vertex near rectangular (Figs. 5 A, 5C), anterior margin without distinct boundary with dorsal frons; frons dorsal view (Figs. 5 A, 5C) distinctly protrusive, ventral view (Figs. 5 B, 5D) flat longitudinally and with indistinctly transverse carinae at each side; ocelli distinctly nearer each other than to the eyes; antenna 9–segmented and flagellate, without antennal socket in base; rostrum rather long, extended to at least the end of the hind coxae; (3) pronotum nearly hexagonal, with distinct median carina; mesonotum developed; metanotum rather narrow in middle part; anterior and posterior wing pads triangular (Fig. 5 E), each pad extended to lateral midlength of abdominal tergite II (fourth instar nymph) or tergite III (fifth instar nymph); coxal meracanthus of midleg undeveloped (Fig. 5 F); each tibia of legs with apical spines arranged in 2 rows (Figs. 5 G–H), hind tibia without lateral spines (Fig. 5 G); (4) abdomen 9-segmented, abdominal tergite I very short; genital organ visible in fourth and fifth instar nymphs.
Distribution: China, Taiwan.
Remarks: Jembra is similar to Jembrana Distant, 1908. The differences between them are shown in Table 1. The morphological definition of the genus Jembrana follows those of Distant (1908) and Metcalf & Horton (1934).

Paleanotus sp. 3.— Cruz-Gómez et al. 2021: 183, Fig. 6H–I (key of chrysopetalids from Tropical America).
Material examined. Only fragments. Costa Rica: UMAR-Poly-017, cruise pier, Puntarenas, on pier piles, 1.5 m, Nov 22, 2012, coll. TVG.
Description. Based on the fragment collected: only six middle segments. TL= 1 mm, TW= 0.2 mm. Body pale yellow, paleae fan translucent to bright yellow, slightly imbricated dorsally (Fig. 6A).
Parapodium from middle segments, notochaetae in three main groups (Fig. 6B). Notochaetae: lateral group inserted below notaciculum, 2–4 paleae, slender and symmetrical with 4–5 internal ribs (Fig. 6C); subunit 1, 2 paleae, shorter and asymmetrical with 5 internal ribs. Main group, 10–12 paleae, broad, curved and asymmetrical with 14–15 (16) internal ribs (Fig. 6D). Median group, 4 paleae, shorter and asymmetrical; the distal-most shorter than main paleae with 11 internal ribs; the next proximal shorter with 12 internal ribs; the proximal-most, shortest with 10 internal ribs and 1 raised rib (Fig. 6E–G). Internal ribs of all paleal groups with fine denticles.
Neuropodium conical, as long as notopodium. Neurochaetae: unit 1, 2 superior spinigers, blades slightly curved and long, 13–14 times longer than wide (Fig. 6H). Unit 2, 4–6 falcigers, blades straight and medium-sized, 4–5 times longer than wide (Fig. 6I). Unit 3, 4–5 falcigers, blades straight and medium-sized, 3–4 times longer than wide (Fig. 6J). Unit 4, 2–4 falcigers, blades straight and short, 5 times longer than wide (Fig. 6K). Pygidium and oocytes not seen.
Habitat. Subtidal (1.5 m). Specimens of this species were collected on pier piles.
Distribution. Only recorded from Puntarenas, Pacific side of Costa Rica (Fig. 12).
Remarks. Fragments of the specimen of Paleanotus sp. resembles P. macrophthalmum; however, these differ in some body and chaetal features. Paleanotus sp. has a cylindrical body, median paleae short, about 2/3 main paleae length, and neurochaetae with relatively short and slender blades. The fragments of this specimen possibly belong to a new species, but it is necessary find complete specimens to appropriately describe it.
