Three hyphomycetous fungi belonging to the Gloiosporae of the Staurosporae (Moniliales) are described and illustrated. The name Volucrispora aurantiaca n. gen., n. sp. is suggested for an organism characterized by conidiospores with one to five cells connected to a basal cell by narrow isthmuses or constrictions. The relationship of this fungus with Titaea ornithomorpha Trotter (1904) is discussed and the latter name should become Volucrispora ornithomorpha (Trotter) n. comb. The genus Tricellula van Beverwijk (1954) is emended to include Tricellula curvatis n. sp., which differs mainly in its characteristic spore shape from Tricellula inaegualis van Beverwijk, the type species of the genus Tricellula.

The Oriental leafhopper genus Riseveinus Li is redefined with the redescription of its type species Riseveinus sinensis (Jacobi), and descriptions of two new species: Riseveinus asymmetricus sp. nov. and Riseveinus compressus sp. nov. The female genitalia of the species of this genus are described for the first time. One new combination, Riseveinus albiveinus (Li) n. comb., is also proposed. Photographs and a key to all aforementioned species are provided. The relationship of this genus to related genera is discussed.

Allenipeplus gen. nov. represented by A. philippinensis sp. nov., type species (Philippines, Luzon), A. alius sp. nov. (Philippines, Mindoro), A. harmonicus sp. nov. (Philippines, Mindanao) and A. vitellinus sp. nov. (Indonesian New Guinea), is described. This new genus combines characters with a mosaic spread among other cillaeine genera. We present a wide comparison of genera among the subfamily Cillaeinae, making it possible to elaborate a detailed diagnosis of the new genus and trace some order in character patterns and propose a hypothesis on the relationship of this genus to other groups known from the Indo-Malayan and Australian Regions. A detailed diagnosis of the new genus and key to the new species are given. The Adocimus-complex of the related genera including Allenipeplus gen. nov., Adocimus Murray, 1864, Ithyphenes Murray, 1864, Platynema Ritsema, 1885 and probably Brittonema Kirejtshuk, 2011 is defined. Some notes on the taxonomy of the genera Liparopeplus Murray, 1864 and Xanthopeplus Fairmaire, 1880, stat. nov. are given. Additionally, designation of a lectotype for Liparopeplus colastoides Murray, 1864 is made.

Previous analyses based on 16S rRNA and hsp60 genes indicated that Parolsenella catena and Libanicoccus massiliensis were closely related to each other and formed a monophyletic cluster independent of the related Olsenella species. To clarify the relationship of these two species, we determined the genome sequence of P. catena JCM 31932T and compared it with that already sequenced for L. massiliensis Marseille-P3237T. Phylogenetic trees based on the concatenated 37 single-copy ribosomal proteins or RpoB robustly supported the relationship observed in the previous studies. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between P. catena JCM 31932T and L. massiliensis Marseille-P3237T were 32.6 and 87.8 %, respectively, indicating that P. catena JCM 31932T and L. massiliensis Marseille-P3237T are independent species. Alignment fraction and ANI values between the two genomes were 0.75 and 88.84 %, respectively, thus indicating that the two species should be classified into the same genus. The number of putative orthologous genes shared between the two genomes was 1321, which was significantly larger than those (482–928) reported between L. massiliensis Marseille-P3237T and other closely related species. In addition, the genome of P. catena JCM 31932T had a high degree of synteny conservation with that of L. massiliensis Marseille-P3237T. On the basis of these findings, we propose that L. massiliensis should be reclassified as Parolsenella massiliensis comb. nov.; the type strain is Marseille-P3237T (=JCM 33000T=CCUG 71182T).

Osteoclast Activating Factor

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has been thought to be one of the essential cytokines mainly produced by macrophages. It has recently been reported that epidermal keratinocytes produce IL-1, and attention is being paid to local immune reactions mediated with this cytokine. Interleukin-1 not only activates lymphocytes, but also acts as an osteoclast-activating factor. In this study, we used immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting on cholesteatomatous epithelium with anti-IL-1α antibody and anti-IL-1β antibody. Next, the relationship of cholesteatomatous debris to the production of IL-1 by keratinocytes was evaluated. Highly concentrated IL-1α was found in the cholesteatomatous epithelium, especially in the basal cell layer. The intensity of IL-1β staining was weaker than that of IL-1α staining. In the immunoblotting study, the 31 kd band, an intracellular immature precursor molecule, was identified. The production of IL-1α from keratinocytes was augmented to a greater degree by cholesteatomatous debris than by lipopolysaccharide or keratin. The keratinocytes did not produce IL-1β. These findings suggest that IL-1α is derived from cholesteatomatous keratinocytes. Interleukin-1, mainly IL-1α, from the stimulated cholesteatomatous keratinocytes may be an important factor in the markedly increased bone resorption observed in cholesteatoma.

AbstractThe following new odontiine taxa are described: Clupeosoma cicatricale, Sumatra; C. margarisemale, Java; C. microthyrale, Sabah; Hydrorybina fulvescens, Sumatra; Hemiscopis intermedialis, Soemba; Platynoorda, and its type-species P. atrivittalis, Sabah; Porphyronoorda, and its type-species P. decumbens, S. India; Gononoorda, its type-species G. neervoorti, Java; also G. jacobsoni, Sumatra. Hydrorybina Hampson is removed from the synonymy of Clupeosoma Snellen, and is redefined. In addition to the type-species, H. polusalis (Walker), and the new species H. fulvescens, the genus includes two species, Anemosa pryeri Butler and Clupeosoma violascens Hampson, transferred as new combinations from Clupeosoma. Syllythria bicolor Moore, placed first in Hydrorybina then in Clupeosoma by Hampson, is considered probably odontiine but probably not a member of either of those genera. It is left in Clupeosoma pending further investigation. Eurycreon? rubralis Warren is removed from the synonymy of C. bicolor and is transferred to the subfamily Pyraustinae as Pyrausta rubralis (Warren), n. comb. The relationship of Hydrorybina to Hemiscopis Warren is pointed out, and differential characters are given. Micromania Swinhoe, with type-species M. stigmatalis Swinhoe, is removed from the synonymy of Hemiscopis and is transferred to the subfamily Nymphulinae in the vicinity of Paracymoriza Warren, which is removed from the synonymy of Parthenodes Guenée. Noorda moringae Tams and N. trimaculalis Amsel are transferred to Epinoorda Rebel as new combinations.

Gonyleptid systematics has changed considerably in recent years, thanks to the increasing number of opilionologists and use of new data sources to infer relationships. This scenario promotes revisions of yet unrevised or recently proposed supraspecific groups. In an ongoing revision of the Gonyleptidae subfamilies Pachylinae, Ampycinae and some species of Cranainae (former Cranaidae), we found that Thaumatocranaus Roewer, 1932, a hitherto monotypic cranaine genus, is currently misplaced. According to the recent characterization of gonyleptid subfamilies and its close families, it should be transferred to Ampycinae based on pedipalpal and penial characters. This genus is revised, including redescription of its type species, T. mirabilis Roewer, 1932, and description of two new species, both from Colombia, Amazonas: T. magnificus sp. nov. (from Araracuara) and T. splendidus sp. nov. (from Leticia). The relationship of this genus with other Ampycinae genera is also discussed.

Fungi Imperfecti

The new genus Polythrinciopsis, with the type species P. phragmitis, is described from a leaf spot of Phragmites communis Trin, in eastern New South Wales. The genus is characterized by hypophyllous conidiophores, which develop in clusters from a few fungal cells in the stomatal opening and which show a strongly unilateral placement of spore scars; by large, hyaline to very pale olivaceous, two-celled, acrogenous conidia; and by an abundant superficial mycelium developing on the under side of the leaf spots. The relationship of this fungus to some other genera of the Fungi Imperfecti is discussed.
