Termite Soldiers

A new species of termite, Proboscitermes mcgrewi Scheffrahn, is described from soldiers, workers, and a physogastric queen collected along the northeastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. The new species differs from all other mandibulate termite soldiers in having a relatively large proportion of head capsule volume anterior to the mandibular articulations.

A New Species

Microcerotermes Silvestri is a cosmopolitan genus and is distributed in all zoogeographical regions, with the exception of the Nearctic. During the study of Iranian termite fauna, specimens of Microcerotermes were collected from Shahroud, Iran. Morphological studies indicated that specimens belonged to a new species. This species comes closest to Microcerotermes varaminicus Ghayourfar, but soldiers differ in possessing darker head-capsule and distinct postclypeus demarcated from frons.

A New Species

The mayflies of the subgenus Epeorus (Caucasiron) are lotic aquatic insects in Heptageniidae. They are unique in the family because their gills form a disc, gills 1 are strongly expanded anteriorly and contiguous under thorax, gills 7 have a longitudinal fold and are contiguous under apex of abdomen and the pairs of gill 2–6 or 7 have a distinct projection on anterior-dorsal side of leading margin as well as imaginal tubular, diverging penis lobes with titillators. A new species, Epeorus (Caucasiron) extraordinarius sp. nov., collected from southwestern China, is described here. The strongly expanded anterior portion and the concave lateral margins of the nymphal head capsule, the color pattern of nymphs and imagos, and the structure of the male genitalia with relatively small titillators distinguish the new species from previously described members of the subgenus.

A New Species

A new species of the order Zoraptera, Zorotypus hirsutus Mashimo sp. n., is described from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. The specimen is tentatively assigned to the subgenus Octozoros Engel based on number of antennomeres reduced from nine to eight. It is characterized by an unusually strong setation, appearing much more hirsute than other extant or extinct species of the order. Other unusual autapomorphic features are an elongated head capsule with a concave genal region and very slender, elongate antennomeres. The discovery of this aberrant species suggests that the morphological diversity of Zoraptera was much higher than previously expected. For a reliable placement of Zorotypus hirsutus the discovery of males and a robust species level phylogeny would be required.

A New Species

The main object of this paper is the description of the larva of a new species of Cecidomyid, found by me in January 1933 in two old beehives from Selehurst, Horsham, Sussex. The adult Cecidomyids, reared from these larvae, were submitted to Dr H. F. Barnes, who has found them to be a new species described by him under the name of Lestodiplosis alvei, in the paper which immediately follows.

Emended Diagnosis

A new species of the genus Cephalanticoma is described for the Atlantic Ocean in the Potiguar Basin off the continental shelf of northeast Brazil. Cephalanticoma rugatusa sp. n. is characterized by bearing head capsule ending on the level of amphideal fovea, a tubular precloacal supplement and two rows of thin precloacal setae. Cephalanticoma rugatusa sp. n. differs from all other species of the genus by having a precloacal cuticular papilla in front of the cloaca and a cuticular transversal wrinkle which extends from the papilla elevation to the conical-cylindrical portion of the tail occupying both subventral regions. An emended diagnosis and a dichotomous key to species based on both genders are provided.
