Rich Material

The very rich material of Palaearctic Pamphagidae preserved in the collections including the type specimens of all taxa, the historical unidentified specimens and newly collected material have been studied. 58 genera and 295 species and subspecies are listed. The higher classification of the family is reviewed mainly based on the male phallic complex as well as the traditional and some new external characters. The tribe Haplotropiidini is transferred to the subfamily Thrinchinae. Previously synonymized subfamily Tropidaucheninae is validated as an independent tribe of Pamphaginae. The tribe Nocarodeini is taxonomically reviewed except the genus Bufonocarodes Mistshenko. The male phallic complex is also used as one of the main characters in decisions of the genus group taxa. The following 10 genera are synonymized: Pseudotmethis Bey-Bienko, 1948 and Paratmethis Zheng & He, 1996 (with Filchnerella Karny, 1908), Sinotmethis Bey-Bienko, 1959 and Kanotmethis Yin, 1994 (with Beybienkia Tsyplenkov, 1956), Paktia Pfadt, 1970 (with Mistshenkoella Cejchan, 1969), Pseudosavalania Demirsoy, 1973 (with Paranocarodes I.

The genera Mistshenkoella Cejchan and Cryptonothrotes La Greca are proposed as subgenera of Saxetania Mistshenko. The following genera are divided: Eremocharis Saussure into 4 species groups, Paranocarodes I. Bolívar into 2 species groups, Paranothrotes Mistshenko into 4 species groups, Nocaracris Uvarov into 7 species groups and Nocarodes Fischer von Waldheim into 4 species groups. The following 24 species and subspecies are synonymized: Tmethis cinerascus cyanipes Werner, 1939 [with Eremopeza angusta (Uvarov, 1934)], Iranotmethis cyanipennis cyanipes Bey-Bienko, 1951 [with Iranotmethis cyanipennis iranicus (Werner, 1939)], Eremocharis granulosa roseipes Uvarov, 1943 [with Eremocharis granulosa granulosa (Walker, 1871)], Eremocharis subsulcata minor Cejchan, 1969 (with Eremocharis maior Ramme, 1952), Asiotmethis limbatus motasi Ramme, 1951 [with Asiotmethis limbatus (Charpentier, 1845)], Tropidauchen marginatum Bolívar, 1912 (with Tropidauchen escalerai Bolívar, 1912), Paranocarodes straubei serratus Uvarov, 1949, Paranocarodes straubei insularis Ramme, 1951 and Paranocarodes fieberi mytilenensis Ramme, 1951 [with Paranocarodes fieberi (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882)], Paranocarodes atympanicus Ramme, 1951 (with Paranocarodes tolunayi tolunayi Ramme, 1949), Paranocarodes cilicicus Ramme, 1951 (with Paranocarodes lubricus Mistshenko, 1951), Paranothrotes opacus hakkariana Demirsoy, 1973 [with Paranothrotes opacus opacus (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882)], Paranothrotes tenuicornis sordidus Mistshenko, 1951 and Paranothrotes iranicus (Ramme, 1951) (with Paranothrotes tenuicornis Mistshenko, 1951), Paranothrotes elbursianus (Ramme, 1951) [with Paranothrotes demawendi (Ramme, 1951)], Paranocarodes aserbeidshanicus Ramme, 1951 [with Paranothrotes margaritae (Miram, 1938)], Nocaracris burri obscurata Ramme, 1951 [with Nocaracris furvus furvus (Mistshenko, 1951)], Paranocaracris rimansonae ventosus Mistshenko, 1951 [with Nocaracris rimansonae (Uvarov, 1918)], Paranocaracris rigidus Mistshenko, 1951 (with Nocaracris tauricolus Ramme, 1951), Nocaracris cyanipes tristis Ramme, 1951 [with Nocaracris cyanipes (Motschulsky, 1846)], Nocarodes armenus Ramme, 1951 (with Nocarodes serricollis Fischer von Waldheim, 1846), Nocarodes specialis Mistshenko, 1951 [with Nocarodes iranicus (Werner, 1939)], Nocarodes gibbosus Mistshenko, 1951 (with Nocarodes humerosus Mistshenko, 1951), Nocarodes urmianus carinatus Mistshenko, 1951 (with Nocarodes urmianus Ramme, 1939).

Male Genital

A new species of Urostylididae from the Philippine islands (Mindanao) is herein described. This new species, similar to Urolabida bipunctata Stål, 1871, differs from the latter in the shape of the external male genitalia. Urolabida bipunctata and the new species, Urolabida graziae Roca-Cusachs, sp. nov., are extremely similar in external appearance, and fit into the (incomplete) description of genus Urolabida Westwood, 1837. The examination and comparison with the type specimens of other Urostylididae species, especially the male genital capsule, clearly separates this two species from Urolabida tenera Westwood, 1837, the type species of the genus Urolabida, however the taxonomy of this group is not resolved and needs a deep revision, therefore we refrain from description of a new genus-group taxon here. Additionally, images of the type specimens of Urolabida tenera, Urostylis histrionica Westwood, 1837, and Urostylis punctigera Westwood, 1837, are provided and discussion on the current systematics and classification of the family, and particularly of genus Urolabida are also given.

The phylogeny of the mite genus Pterygosoma Peters, 1849 (Acariformes: Pterygosomatidae), permanent parasites of lizards of the families Agamidae, Gerrhosauridae and Liolaemidae (Reptilia: Squamata), was inferred with maximum parsimony, successive weighting and implied weighting approaches based on 182 characters of 48 ingroup and 12 outgroup species. All undertaken analyses questioned the monophyly of the genus. Based on this research, Pterygosoma includes 56 mite species associated with agamas from Africa and Asia (Sauria: Agamidae). Within the genus seven natural species groups were found: mutabilis, inermis, melanum, caucasica, fimbriata, singularis and foliosetis; 13 species of the genus were not assigned to any of the groups due to their unique morphological characters. For the ligare group of the subgenus Pterygosoma s. str. (7 species) associated with the South American tree lizards from the family Liolaemidae, a new genus, Neopterygosoma gen. nov., is established. The subgenus Gerrhosaurobia Lawrence, 1959 (3 species) associated with the African plated lizards of the family Gerrhosauridae is elevated to the genus rank. Diagnoses for the three genera are presented. Historical associations are reconstructed by fitting the obtained mite tree into the host topology on the family level. Results of coevolutionary analysis highlight the coincidence of both trees. The studies suggest that the ancestor of the genus Pterygosoma switched from the hosts of Gerrhosaurobia i.e. from the plated lizards (Gerrhosauridae) to the agamas (Agamidae), and the genus Pterygosoma has its biogeographic origin in North Africa, and colonized Asia via the Arabian Peninsula, which is congruent with the historical biogeography of its hosts.

Paraphyletic Assemblage

Species previously attributed to Necrotauliidae are revised from the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic of England based on examination of type specimens and non-type material. The necrotauliids have been considered as a basal family of caddisflies (Trichoptera) or as a paraphyletic assemblage of stem-amphiesmenopterans. Herein a new genus, Austaulius, is erected which includes all Lilstock Formation∖Lower Lias material from England; the previously described species are synonymized with A. furcatus and a new species, A. haustrum, is described from the Dorset Coast, the holotype of which preserves synapomorphic traits of the Trichoptera not previously described suggesting that the family is trichopteran. The type genus remains Necrotaulius and type species N. parvulus (Geinitz, 1884) from the type locality of Dobbertin, Germany. One species of Necrotaulius is represented in the UK, N. parvulus, which is found in the Upper Lias.

Abstract The species Immersaria cupreoatra has repeatedly been reassigned between Bellemerea and Immersaria. This caused us to reconsider the relationships between Bellemerea and the lecanorine species of Immersaria, and to question the monophyly of Immersaria. Among 25 genera of the family Lecideaceae, most have lecideine apothecia, with the exception of Bellemerea and Koerberiella, which have lecanorine apothecia. According to previous classifications, Immersaria included species with both lecanorine and lecideine apothecia. A five-loci phylogenetic tree (nrITS, nrLSU, RPB1, RPB2 and mtSSU) for Lecideaceae showed that Immersaria was split into two clades: firstly all the lecideine apothecia species, and secondly all the lecanorine apothecia species. The latter were closely related to the remaining lecanorine apothecia genera: Bellemerea and Koerberiella. Therefore, the genus concept of Immersaria was revised accordingly, and a new lecanorine genus Lecaimmeria was proposed. Furthermore, five new species for Immersaria, and seven new species and three new combinations for the new genus Lecaimmeria were proposed. Keys to Immersaria, the new genus Lecaimmeria and allied genera were provided.

The type specimens of Lecithoceridae which are deposited in the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), Tervuren, Belgium (five species of Lecithocera Herrich-Schäffer and two of Homaloxestis Meyrick) were re-examined. The results are: 1) two species of Lecithocera are transferred to Thubdora Park and Torodora Meyrick respectively, with new combinations: Thubdora barbata (Meyrick, 1933), comb. nov. and Torodora semnodora (Meyrick, 1933), comb. nov.; 2) six species which were misidentified as L. barbata are described as new species in the genus Thubdora: T. ealeaensis sp. nov., T. ghesquierei sp. nov., T. gladiator sp. nov., T. kapangaensis sp. nov., T. neobarbata sp. nov. and T. seydeli sp. nov.; 3) four species which were misidentified as L. semnodora are described as new species in the genus Torodora: T. amplignathosa sp. nov. , T. lichanosa sp. nov., T. planusa sp. nov. and T. triloba sp. nov.; 4) L. schoutedeniella Ghesquière is transferred to Dichomeris Hübner of the family Gelechiidae; 5) Homaloxestis pancrocopa Meyrick does not belong to Homaloxestis nor to Lecithoceridae, and should be transferred to a different family of Gelechioidea; 6) a lectotype is designated for Lecithocera semnodora Meyrick, 1933; 7) the species names of Lecithocera eugenopa Meyrick and Homaloxestes chloromorpha Meyrick based on the type-labels under two specimens are revealed as unpublished manuscript names. Illustrations of the adults and their genitalia of all the types are provided.

Zwei offensichtlich monophyletische Artengruppen werden charakterisiert, die Lathrobium involutum-Gruppe mit zehn lokalendemischen, allesamt neu beschriebenen Arten sowie die Lobrathium stimulans-Gruppe mit dreizehn benannten Arten, auch überwiegend lokalendemisch, von denen zuvor nur eine beschrieben war. Einigen Arten der L. stimulans-Gruppe fehlt die feine submarginale Linie der Elytren, bisher eines der Hauptmerkmale, die zur Trennung von Lobrathium Mulsant & Rey, 1878 und anderen Lathrobiinengattungen herangezogen wurden; offenbar handelt es sich um eine sekundäre Reduktion. Für die Lobrathium-Arten Taiwans wird eine Bestimmungstabelle erstellt. Die Gattung Lobrathium sowie Lobrathium sibynicum Zheng, 1988 werden erstmals von Taiwan nachgewiesen. Zwei Namen werden neu kombiniert: Lobrathium taiwanense (Watanabe, 1998), comb. n. (ex Lathrobium) und Tetartopeus bimaculatus (Li, Tang & Zhu, 2007), comb. n. (ex Lobrathium). Für Lathrobium shaolaiense Watanabe, 1998 werden - erstmals seit der Originalbeschreibung - weitere Nachweise gemeldet.StichwörterColeoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Lathrobium, Lobrathium, Platydomene, Tetartopeus, Palaearctic region, Taiwan, species groups, new species, new combinations, new records, key to species.Nomenklatorische Handlungenalesi Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.alishanum Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.anmaicum Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.extraculum Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.follitum Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.houhuanicum Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.involutum Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.nenkaoicum Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.tarokoense Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.utriculatum Assing, 2010 (Lathrobium (Lathrobium)), spec. nov.bidigitatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.bisagittatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.coalitum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.cornutissimum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.digitatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.duplehamatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.furcillatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.kuanicum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.smetanai Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.sororium Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.spoliatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium), spec. nov.taiwanense (Watanabe, 1998) (Lobrathium), comb. nov. hitherto Lathrobium taiwanense Watanabe, 1998bilobatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium (Lobrathium)), spec. nov.bipeniculatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium (Lobrathium)), spec. nov.extensum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium (Lobrathium)), spec. nov.nigripenne Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium (Lobrathium)), spec. nov.pedes Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium (Lobrathium)), spec. nov.penicillatum Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium (Lobrathium)), spec. nov.stimulans Assing, 2010 (Lobrathium (subgenus?)), spec. nov.sinuosa Assing, 2010 (Platydomene), spec. nov.bimaculatus (Li, Tang & Zhu, 2007) (Tetartopeus), comb. nov. hitherto Lobrathium bimaculatus Li, Tang & Zhu, 2007

We propose a new generic classification of the African Restionaceae, tribe Restioneae (subfamily Restionoideae), based on the phylogeny and on extensive morphological data. The phylogeny is based on both plastid sequence data and morphological data. We delimit the genera to be monophyletic, to minimize the nomenclatural changes, and to maximize the ability to diagnose the genera. We recognize eight genera, one of which with nine subgenera, in the tribe. Of the currently accepted genera, only three need changes. We provide descriptions for all genera and subgenera, and include a key to them. In this paper we erect one new genus, Soroveta. redelimit Platycaulos and Restio, and reduce Calopsis and Ischyrolepis to synonomy under Restio. We list the species which we recognize under each genus, make 37 new combinations, propose eight new names, and also describe eight new species that belong in these genera.
