A New Species

Species of the genus Franklinothrips Back are predators and ant-mimics, with the first two abdominal segments narrow and sometimes pale (Mound & Marullo, 1996), and an illustrated identification key to the 15 known species was provided by Mound & Reynaud (2005). A further new species was described recently from northern India (Vijay Veer, 2010), and these species have been found in the tropical areas of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Australia, and the southern United States. Previous studies on the genus include a key to six species from North America (Stannard, 1952), a key to six New World species (Mound & Marullo, 1996), and to two species from Europe (zur Strassen, 2003). From the Oriental region, species have also been described by Okajima (1997), and Reyes (1994).

A New Species

Distinctive, remarkable specimens from Bauru, São Paulo state, Brazil are recognized as a new species of the genus Laemophloeus Dejean (sensu stricto), which is described and illustrated in this paper. Laemophloeus souzalimai sp. nov. is most similar to L. germaini Grouvelle and can be readily distinguished from all New World species of the genus by the dorsal color testaceous, without elytral maculae, antennal club of 6 antennomeres, genal processes anteriorly projected, male head with somewhat pedunculated eyes, and frons with a broad, V-shaped impressed line. Additionally, the preexisting key to Laemophloeus species with antennal club of 6 or more antennomeres is modified to include the new species, and new records for five Brazilian species of the genus are provided.

A New Species

The Miltogramminae of the Neotropical Region are low in species diversity, with no endemic genera (Pape 1996). However, the actual number of Neotropical species in this subfamily is expected to be higher according to the few comprehensive taxonomic revisions (e.g., Pape 1987a, 1989).

Acanthemblemaria aceroi new species is described from the upwelling region of the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela and Colombia. It differs from its closest relative, Acanthemblemaria rivasi Stephens, 1970, known from Panama and Costa Rica, in the posterior extent of the infraorbitals, details of head spination, and unique COI sequences. The description of Acanthemblemaria johnsonsi Almany & Baldwin, 1996, heretofore known only from Tobago, is expanded based on specimens from islands offshore of eastern Venezuela.

A New Species

The net-spinning caddisfly genus Leptonema Guérin contains about 120 species, making it the largest genus in the subfamily Macronematinae (Hydropsychidae) and one of the most diverse in the order Trichoptera (Flint et al. 1987; Flint 2008). Most species are large, with wingspans of about 60 mm. They inhabit all types of running waters and generally comprise a significant proportion of invertebrate biomass in these waterways (Flint et al. 1987). In the New World, the genus is extremely diverse, with 106 species widely distributed from the southwestern United States to northern Chile and central Argentina, including the Antilles (Flint 2008). Another 18 species occur in sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar (Munõz-Quesada 1997). Flint, McAlpine & Ross (1987) revised the whole genus, and also considered biogeographic and phylogenetic aspects. Brazil has 26 recorded species (Paprocki et al. 2004; Flint 2008).

Herina caribbeana Kameneva, sp. n. from Dominica is described and figured. It is related to the narytia group of species, to date represented by 4 North American species, but differs from these by the wing pattern (dark spots at apex of R1 and on the crossbands r-m and dm-cu separated, not forming crossband), as well as male genitalia (prensisetae long and close together). This is the first record of the genus Herina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 from the Neotropical Region. A key to the New World species is provided.

Nemeritis Holmgren, 1860 is a moderately species-rich genus of Campopleginae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) which includes 42 valid species, occurring in the Western Palearctic, Eastern Palearctic, Nearctic, and Oriental regions. Herein, a new species from Chile, Nemeritis scaramozzinoi sp. nov., is described. This is the first description of a species of Nemeritis for the Southern Hemisphere. The key for the New World species of the genus and biogeographical remarks on the Chilean fauna of Darwin wasps are also provided.

The genus Cephalocyclus Dellacasa, Gordon & Dellacasa, 1998 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae: Aphodiini) was created for 10 species distributed in southern United States of America and Mesoamerica. Subsequently, 14 species were described or added to this genus (Dellacasa et al. 2000, 2007, 2011, 2013; Deloya & Ibáñez-Bernal 2000; Minor et al. 2015). A.A.-J. collected a large series of specimens from Oaxaca (Mexico) belonging to a new species of Cephalocyclus described here. The specimens of this new species came from “El Cerro del Aguila” in the Mixteca Region, between 2800–3250 m. All specimens were collected with pitfall traps baited with human excrement.

Two new species of Geckobia Mégnin, 1878, Geckobia andina n. sp. and Geckobia circumdata n. sp., ectoparasites commonly reported on geckos, are described from the host species Phyllodactylus gerrhopygus (Wiegmann). The specimens were collected in the subtropical region of the Andean Pacific of Peru. The geographic distribution of species of Geckobia in South America and the Caribbean are mapped. Furthermore, a dichotomous key for the species of New World Geckobia is provided.
