Taxonomic Novelties

The misapplication of the name Tectaria griffithii is corrected, which results in the revival of T. multicaudata and the proposal of a new combination (T. multicaudata var. amplissima) and two new synonyms (T. yunnanensis and T. multicaudata var. singaporeana). For the reduction of Psomiocarpa and Tectaridium (previously monotypic genera) into Tectaria, T. macleanii (new combination) and T. psomiocarpa (new name) are proposed as new combinations. In addition, the new name Tectaria subvariolosa is put forward to replace a later homonym (T. stenosemioides).

The genus Limonius Eschscholtz, 1829 was last treated as a whole by Candèze (1860). Since then, members have been placed in eight other genera: Cidnopus Thomson, 1859; Gambrinus LeConte, 1853; Elathous Reitter, 1890; Kibunea Kishii, 1966; Limoniscus Reitter, 1905; Nothodes LeConte, 1861; Pheletes Kiesenwetter, 1858; and Solskyana Dolin, 1978. Based on the examination of adult and larval characters, five genera are recognized: Elathous Reitter, 1890; Gambrinus LeConte, 1853; Limonius Eschscholtz, 1829; Pheletes Kiesenwetter, 1858; and Tetralimonius new genus.

Taxonomic Studies

Ageniella Banks is the second most diverse genus in the tribe Ageniellini (Pompilidae: Pepsinae) with about 200 valid names. Ageniella is known to be paraphyletic; yet, no revision has been made. Lack of a taxonomic catalogue and of identification keys has further delayed taxonomic studies. Additionally, many of the currently valid names should be treated as synonyms. This present study is the first attempt to organize the species of Ageniella, focusing on the species occurring in Brazil. A total of six subgenera and 40 species of Ageniella occur in Brazil. Of these, 25 species are endemic to Brazil. The new synonyms are proposed for (valid names are first): Alasagenia Banks, 1944 =Lissagenia Banks, 1946, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Alasagenia) erichsoni Banks, 1944 =Priophanes major Banks, 1945, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Ameragenia) zeteki (Banks, 1925) =Priophanes marcida Banks, 1946, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Ameragenia) agitata (Smith, 1873), comb. nov. =Salius (Priocnemis) setaceicornis Fox, 1897, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Ameragenia) sanguinolenta (Smith, 1864) =Agenia ruficeps Smith, 1864, syn. nov.; =Ageniella alternata Banks, 1946, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Priophanes) dolorosa (Banks, 1946), comb. nov. =Priophanes plagosa Banks, 1946, syn. nov.; Ageniella (Ameragenia) fabricii (Banks, 1944) =Ameragenia notabilis Banks, 1946, syn. nov. A new combination is proposed for: Ageniella (Alasagenia) cursor (Smith, 1873), comb. nov. (from Agenia Schiødte); Ageniella (Ameragenia) clypeata (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius Fabricius), Ageniella (Ameragenia) rutila (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Priophanes) tegularis (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Priophanes) rufitarsis (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Ameragenia) citricornis (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Ameragenia) serrula (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Salius), Ageniella (Priophanes) cingulata (Fox, 1897), comb. nov. (from Agenia). A new name Ageniella (Ameragenia) banksii Waichert, nom. nov. is proposed for Ameragenia festina Banks, 1946, secondary homonym of Ageniella festina Banks, 1917, and Ageniella (Priophanes) otiosa is reinstate, stat. resurr.

First Time

The taxonomic positions of 284 names on the genus Megachile (sensu Michener et al. 1994) of the Americas are clarified. A total of 166 types (164 holotypes and 2 cotypes) were examined. In 24 cases specimens determined by specialists were used and in 17 the published descriptions were analysed. The subgenera of 175 species are indicated for the first time and 94 are nomenclatural changes. Four lectotypes are designated. There are 11 new synonyms: brasiliensis Dalla Torre 1896 (= nigridorsis Vachal 1908 = brancoensis Mitchell 1930), eburneipes Vachal 1904 (= bernardina Schrottky 1913), fiebrigi Schrottky 1908 (= tergina Vachal 1908), guaranitica Schrottky 1908 (= marcida Vachal 1908), maura Cresson 1865 (= carlotensis Mitchell 1927), nigripennis Spinola 1841 (= hypocrita Smith 1853 = totonaca Cresson 1878), nudiventris Smith 1853 (= jurujubensis Cockerell 1927) pedalis Fox 1891 (= liguanensis Cockerell 1912) and poeyi Guérin-Méneville 1845 (= velhoensis Mitchell 1930).

Lithosiini genera of the Asura / Miltochrista generic complex related to Barsine Walker, 1854 sensu lato and Asura Walker, 1854 are overviewed. Barsine is considered to be a group having such an autapomorphic feature as a basal saccular process of valva only. Many species without this process are separated to the diverse and species-rich genus Ammatho stat. nov., which is subdivided here into eight subgenera including Idopterum Hampson, 1894 downgraded here to a subgenus level, and six new subgenera: Ammathella Volynkin, subgen. nov., Composine Volynkin, subgen. nov., Striatella Volynkin & Huang, subgen. nov., Conicornuta Volynkin, subgen. nov., Delineatia Volynkin & Huang, subgen. nov. and Rugosine Volynkin, subgen. nov. A number of groups of species considered previously by various authors as members of Barsine are erected here to 20 new genera and four subgenera: Ovipennis (Barsipennis) Volynkin, subgen. nov., Ovipennis (Coccinigripennis) Volynkin & Huang, subgen. nov., Barsura (Tenebrasura) Volynkin, subgen. nov., Argentosine Volynkin, gen. nov., Esmasura Volynkin & Huang, gen. nov., Matsumursine Volynkin & Huang, gen. nov., Floridasura Volynkin, gen. nov., Fossia Volynkin, Ivanova & Huang, gen. nov., Wittasura Volynkin, gen. nov., Disparsine Volynkin, gen. nov., Moorasura Volynkin & Huang, gen. nov., Sarbine Volynkin, gen. nov., Sarbine (Processine) Volynkin, subgen. nov., Hampsonascia Volynkin, gen. nov., Cernysura Volynkin, gen. nov., Barsilene Volynkin & Huang, gen. nov., Nanarsine Volynkin, gen. nov., Amphisine Volynkin, gen. nov., Karolia Volynkin, gen. nov., Niveutane Volynkin, gen. nov., Rubrindiania Volynkin & Huang, gen. nov., Barsaurea Volynkin & Huang, gen. nov., Integrivalvia Volynkin & Huang, gen. nov. and Aberrasine Volynkin & Huang, gen. nov. The genus Nebulene Volynkin & Černý is downgraded to a subspecies of Ovipennis. The genus Eutane Walker, 1854 is downgraded to a subspecies of Asura. The genera Miltasura Roepke, 1946 and Gymnasura Hampson, 1900 are synonymised here with Cyme Felder, 1861 and Asura respectively. The genera Asuropsis Matsumura, 1927, Neasuroides Matsumura, 1927 and Asuridoides Daniel, 1951 are synonymised with Miltochrista Hübner, [1819]. The genus Allochrista Roepke, 1946 is synonymised with the subgenus Thyrgorina Walker, [1865] of the genus Lemyra Walker, 1856 (tribe Arctiini) with establishing a new combination Lemyra (Thyrgorina) toxopei (Roepke, 1946), comb. nov. Other six new synonyms are established: Barsine pardalis (Mell, 1922) = Barsine miranda Kishida & Wang, 2017, syn. nov., Barsine striata striata (Bremer & Grey, 1852) = Miltochrista quelparta Okamota, 1924, syn. nov., Floridasura tricolor (Wileman, 1910) = Barsine coccinea Moore, 1886, syn. nov., Disasuridia metaphaea (Hampson, 1900) = Disasuridia flava Fang, 1991, syn. nov., Aberrasine aberrans aberrans (Butler, 1877) = Miltochrista decussata (Moore, 1877), syn. nov. and Cabarda nigripuncta (Wileman & South, 1919) = Asura lunilinea Schaus, 1922, syn. nov. In addition, it is stated that Miltochrista quadrifasciata Rothschild, 1913 described from New Guinea and currently belonging to the genus Cyme (a junior synonym of Cyme sexualis (Felder, 1864)) is an invalid name, being a secondary junior homonym (homonym nov.) of Cyme quadrifasciata (Rothschild, 1913), comb. nov. described from Sulawesi. A full check-list of members of the Asura / Miltochrista generic complex with 370 new combinations is present.

The Charipinae (Cynipoidea: Figitidae) are a small group of Hymenoptera biologically characterized as being secondary parasitoids of aphids and psyllids (Hemiptera) (Menke & Evenhuis, 1991).  A total of 281 species of Charipinae have been described since the first species was described by Westwood (1833) (including two fossils, one of them recently transferred in a new family, Protimaspidae). An updated world catalogue of the Charipinae is presented here, with 168 valid species: 111 included in Alloxysta Förster, 31 in Phaenoglyphis Förster, 13 in Dilyta Förster, 5 in Apocharips Fergusson, 4 in Thoreauana Girault, and 1 in Dilapothor Paretas-Martínez & Pujade-Villar, Lobopterocharips Paretas-Martínez & Pujade-Villar, Lytoxysta Kieffer and †Protocharips Kovalev. Eight species are considered as nomen nudum: Allotria fusca Dahlbom, 1842; Allotria thoreyi Dahlbom, 1842; Xystus xanthocephala Dahlbom, 1842; Allotria pusillina Giraud, 1877; Charips aphidiinaecida de Santis, 1937; Alloxysta keudelli Hedicke, 1927; Allotria amygdali Buckton, 1879 and  Allotria polita Provancher, 1881. Six as nomen dubium: Allotria (Allotria) recticornis atra Kieffer, 1902; Allotria (Allotria) brevicornis Kieffer, 1902;  Allotria (Allotria) orthocera Kieffer, 1902; Xystus femoralis Hartig, 1841; Charipsella laevigata Brèthes, 1913; Dilyta (Alloxysta) ignorata Kieffer, 1900. Three species are incertae sedis: Charips silvicola Belizin, 1928, Cynips atriceps Buckton, 1879 and Allotria (Allotria) testaceipes Kieffer, 1902. Two species are here synonymized: Alloxysta discreta (Förster, 1869) with A. ramulifera (Thomson, 1862) and A. megaptera (Cameron, 1889) with A. ruficollis (Cameron, 1883). Two species are raised from synonymy and considered here as valid species: Alloxysta cameroni (Cameron, 1883) and A. marshalliana (Kieffer, 1900). New names for species of Alloxysta are presented for homonimies with other Alloxysta species derived from the new combinations: Alloxysta ionescui Pujade-Villar & Ferrer-Suay new name for Alloxysta luteipes (Ionescu, 1969) n. comb., Alloxysta forshagei Pujade-Villar & Ferrer-Suay new name for Alloxysta bicolor (Ionescu, 1959) n. comb., and Alloxysta mattiasi Pujade-Villar & Ferrer-Suay new name for Alloxysta luteipes (Ionescu, 1959) n. comb. Also a new name to Phaenoglyphis is presented for the same reason before mentioned but without new combination: Phaenoglyphis hedickei Pujade-Villar & Ferrer-Suay new name for Phaenoglyphis longicornis Hedicke, 1928 and two new combinations are presented: Alloxysta rufa (Ionescu, 1959) n. comb and Alloxysta consobrina (Zetterstedt, 1838) Forshage n. comb. This catalogue includes: (i) a diagnosis of the subfamily with the most important taxonomic characters for species recognition, and illustrations of these characters; (ii) a key to genera; (iii) a list of all authors describing species of Charipinae; and (iv) a host table. The distribution of the Charipinae includes 106 Palaearctic species, 37 Nearctic, 11 Neotropical, 10 Afrotropical, 7 Oriental and 11 Australian. The species Alloxysta victrix (Westwood, 1833), A. fuscicornis (Hartig, 1841) and Phaenoglyphis villosa (Hartig, 1841) are cosmopolitan.

A revised classification and nomenclature is proposed for some molds which produce hyaline, single-celled aleuriospores. Chrysosporium Corda is revived as a suitable genus for fungi which have been referred to Aleurisma Auct. non Link. Blastomyces, Emmonsia, Geomyces, Gilchristia, Glenosporella, Myceliophthora, and Zymonema are placed in synonymy under Chrysosporium. The typification and status of the following genera is discussed: Acladium, Aleurisma, Allescheriella, Bactridiopsis, Balanium, Blastomycoides, Botryotrichum, Chlamydomyces, Coccospora, Glenospora, Glenosporopsis, Histoplasma, Humicola, Mammaria, Monosporium, Monotospora, Myceliophthora, Mycogone, Oidium, Paracoccidioides, Rhinocladium, Scedosporium, Sepedonium, Sporothrix, Sporotrichum, Stephanoma, and Trichophyton.Chrysosporium asperatum and C. tropicum are proposed as new species. Six new combinations and one new name are proposed in Chrysosporium. One new combination is proposed in Paecilomyces. A key to the species of Chrysosporium is included as well as descriptions and illustrations of the species.

The Dioclea clade comprises four genera and aproximately 60 species of the tribe Diocleae: Cleobulia (4 species), Cymbosema (1), Dioclea (ca. 50), Luzonia (1) and Macropsychanthus (3–4). Dioclea has been demonstrated to be a non-monophyletic genus, but low sampling in previous phylogenetic studies hampered the adoption of new taxonomic arrangements. We carried out densely sampled phylogenetic analyses of the Dioclea clade using molecular markers that had performed well in previous studies: the ITS and ETS nuclear ribosomal regions and the plastid trnK/matK. Our results support the maintenance of the genera Cleobulia and Cymbosema with their current circumscriptions, but confirmed the polyphyly of Dioclea, with its species falling into three different positions: (1) the puzzling species, Dioclea paniculata, was highly supported as a member of the Galactia clade; (2) Dioclea subg. Dioclea appeared as sister to a clade composed of Cleobulia and Cymbosema; and (3) the species of Dioclea subgenera Pachylobium and Platylobium composed a paraphyletic grade nesting the genera Luzonia and Macropsychanthus. We thus propose that the circumscription of Dioclea should be restricted to Dioclea subg. Dioclea, with 13 species and that the limits of Macropsychanthus should be widened to include the genus Luzonia, as well as the Dioclea subgenera Pachylobium and Platylobium, with 46 species. Taxonomic summaries, new combinations and synonyms are presented for all genera of the Dioclea clade. Cleobulia and Cymbosema were retained in their original circumscriptions. We presented an illustrated taxonomic conspectus of all genera of the Dioclea clade including 44 new combinations, one new name, ten new synonyms, two re-established holotypes, 38 lectotypes, two epitypes and one neotype.

Taxonomic Novelties

Background and aims – Within the framework of the renewed production of the Flore d’Afrique centrale, the grasses are being studied to accomplish their treatment. Taxonomic novelties, or other information not deemed appropriate in a Flora, are published in a series of separate papers of which this is the second.Methods – Standard herbarium techniques have been applied to material from BR, BRLU, GENT, P and WAG. Some types were studied through the JSTOR Global Plant facility.Key results – Novelties are presented for the genera Anthephora, Cenchrus (incl. Pennisetum) and Setaria. Three new combinations are made. Lectotypes are designated for five names. Ten names are treated as new synonyms of accepted species names, with explanations of the new taxonomic concepts applied.
