A New Species

AbstractA new species of Technomyrmex (T. caritatis sp. n.) is described based on workers and larvae from Dominican amber (Oligocene to Lower Miocene). These are preserved with eggs and pupae of the same species and with five other insects in one amber piece found in the Palo Quemado Mine, near Santiago and in two separate amber pieces collected in Carlos Diaz Mine. Both mines are in Cordillera Septentrional. Iridomyrmex hispaniolae Wilson is redescribed and transferred to Technomyrmex. Most Technomyrmex species occur from Africa, east through southern Asia, to Australia. One species transported by human activity is known in the New World and there is only one extant native Neotropical species recorded from Panama. Technomyrmex likely represents a case of an Old World ant genus undergoing extinction in the New World. We discuss the affinities of this genus with the extant Dolichoderinae and the phylogeny of the subfamily.

A New Species

A new species of Pedilia Clark, P. sirena, from Costa Rica is described and illustrated. This species is monophagous on Passiflora pittieri HBK, and known only from the Sirena area of Parque National Corcovado, Costa Rica, for which it is named. Previous scientific reports mentioning this species are discussed, specifically those treating its ecological interaction with Heliconius hewistoni Staudinger, (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). This species is also notable for the two distinctly textured areas of its mandibular mola.

A new species, Plectromerus grimaldii (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Curiini), from Dominican amber (Oligo-Miocene) is described.  Features distinguishing the new species from its congeners are presented. A discussion of the comparison of this new species to another Plectromerus fossil, P. tertiarius Vitali, is also presented.

A new flea beetle, Psylliodes anatolicus sp. n. is described and illustrated from southwest Turkey. The new species is compared in a table with P. drusei, P. creticus, P. laevifrons and P. libanicola. They are clearly distinguishable by differences in colour, body size and other useful measurements.

A New Species

We describe a new genus, Gracilidris Wild & Cuezzo gen. nov., and a new species, G. pombero Wild and Cuezzo sp. nov., of dolichoderine ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Dolichoderinae) from Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina based on the worker caste. These ants are morphologically similar to the extinct Gracilidris humilioides (Wilson 1985) comb. nov., known from a single Dominican amber fossil, that we redescribe and transfer to Gracilidris from Linepithema Mayr.
