AbstractMallochianamyia Santos-Neto was proposed as a replacement name for Gayomyia Malloch, 1933 (preoccupied by Gayomyia Banks, 1913), an unplaced genus of acalyptrate Diptera from Chile and Argentina. The genus comprises 12 species: M. cladostyla sp. n.; M. fenestrata sp. n.; M. flavitibia sp. n.; M. furcata sp. n.; M. gallina sp. n.; M. latigena sp. n.; M. magnipalpis sp. n.; M. nigrohalterata (Malloch) comb. n.; M. penai sp. n.; M. setosa sp. n.; M. truncata sp. n.; M. vexans sp. n. All new species are illustrated and a key to species of Mallochianamyia is provided. The monophyly of the genus is supported by three characters of the male and female genitalia. Mallochianamyia is most closely related to the New World genera Paraleucopis Malloch and Schizostomyia Malloch and an undescribed Australian genus. The group cannot be placed in any established family as currently defined, although there are affinities to some families in the Asteioinea sensu J. F. McAlpine (1989). Research on the morphology and relationships of genera related to Mallochianamyia is required to clarify the familial status of the group.

A New Species

The Holarctic genus Agonochaetia is reviewed and a new species, Agonochaetia shawinigan Landry, sp. nov. is described from Québec, Canada. In addition, a new glandiductor-bearing genus and species, Canarischema fuerteventura Karsholt, gen. nov., sp. nov. is described from the Canary Islands. Comparative diagnoses, a key to species, illustrations of external aspect, male and female genitalia are provided for all species. Most species of Agonochaetia are rarely collected and known only from their types or from very few specimens. DNA barcodes are provided for four of the species from which DNA was recovered. Analysis of DNA barcodes suggests that Agonochaetia may be paraphyletic. Phylogenetic relationships to other Gnorimoschemini genera bearing a pair of glandiductors above the phallus are discussed.

Phylogenetic Revision

AbstractThe Australian species of Allomethus and Claraeola are revised and include one described species, Claraeola erinys (Perkins), and five new species: Allomethus unicicolis sp. n., Claraeola cyclohirta sp. n., C. sicilis sp. n., C. spargosis sp. n., and C. yingka sp. n.. Claraeola hylaea (Perkins) is proposed to be a synonym of C. erinys (Perkins). A key to species is provided and male and female genitalia are illustrated. The Australian species are placed phylogenetically into a world context using available taxa within the Allomethus genus group. The phylogenetic relationships are discussed in light of a cladistic analysis involving 22 taxa and 60 characters.

Hydroporus neclae sp.n. is described from the Erzurum province in north-eastern Turkey. The species belongs to the Hydroporus memnonius-group. Its habitus and the shape of the median lobe are similar to those of H. longicornis Sharp, but the shape of the hind margins of the metacoxal processes are similar to those of H. melanarius Sturm. The male and female genitalia as well as several other characters of H. neclae sp.n. are figured and compared with those of these two other species. The key to species of the memnonius-group given in Fery (1999) is modified to include the new species and the relevant parts are presented.

Lepidoptera Noctuidae

Bergiantina, a new Agaristinae genus, is described. The genus contains 8 species. Three were previously assigned to Aucula Walker: Metagarista hilzingeri Berg, Euthisanotia magnifica Schaus, and Aucula schausi Jörgensen. Two were previously assigned to Erocha Walker: Heterocampa dolens Druce and Erocha trita Druce. Three new species are described: Bergiantina intermedia, B. parva, and B. familiae. Bergiantina can be distinguished from other Agaristinae by its distinctive forewing pattern with white patches or stripes associated with the postmedial line. Other diagnostic characters include: male genitalia with moderately asymmetric valves, aedoeagus with an apical sclerotized horn-like dorsal projection, and female genitalia with a thin, membranous ductus bursae 3x as long as anterior apophysis. Adults and male and female genitalia are described and illustrated, and a key to species provided. One new synonymy is established and two lectotypes are designated.
