Taxonomic Changes

A checklist of the Synanthedonini of Madagascar is presented. The following taxonomic changes are suggested: Malgassesia pauliani Viette, 1955 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Rodolphia hombergi Le Cerf, 1911a; Malgassesia biedermanni Viette, 1982 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Malgassesia rufescens Le Cerf, 1922; Epitarsipus Le Cerf, 1922 stat. rev. is resurrected from the synonymy with Malgassesia Le Cerf, 1922, the earlier consisting of the single species E. rufithorax Le Cerf, 1922 comb. rev. The taxonomic position of three species, which were originally described in Chamaesphecia Spuler, 1910 and later excluded from this genus as “incertae sedis”, remains unclear. These species are here transferred to Malgassesia: M. andrianony Viette, 1982 comb. nov.; M. lemur Le Cerf, 1957 comb. nov.; and M. ferdinandi nom. nov., a replacement name for Ch. seyrigi Le Cerf, 1957. Two new species and genera of Synanthedonini, Cinctosesia polistiformis and Nesosphecia mystica gen. nov. et sp. nov., are described from a submontane rainforest in the vicinity of Andasibe in the East of Madagascar.

Ausgehend von ökologischen (idealtypischen) Einordnungen der flugunfähigen, westpaläarktischen Cryptorhynchinae werden molekulare und morphologische Ergebnisse zur monophyletischen Rüsselkäfer-Gattung Acallorneuma Mainardi, 1906 und zu den subterrestrisch lebenden Arten des Tribus Torneumatini Bedel, 1884 vorgestellt. Ein Katalog und ein Bilderschlüssel zu den 8 validen Arten der Acallorneuma leitet eine Diskussion über die begrenzten Möglichkeiten einer rein morphologischen Analyse der uniformen Arten des Genus Acallorneuma ein. In einem weiteren Schritt wird die morphologische Systematik mit der molekularen Rekonstruktion der Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse anhand einer Region des mitochondrialen CO1 Gens verglichen. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wenden wir uns den gegenwärtig 71 bekannten, blinden, flügellosen und weitgehend kryptischen, tief im Erdreich lebenden Arten der Torneumatini zu. Die molekulare Analyse zeigt zwischen den Arten erhebliche p-Distanzen, macht aber auch deutlich, dass die Rekonstruktion der Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse ganz entscheidend von der Anzahl der Arten und Proben abhängig ist. Dennoch wurden einige taxonomische Änderungen vorgenommen: Torneuma s. str. mit der Typusart Torneuma caecum Wollaston, 1860 gibt es nur auf dem Madeira Archipel! Die Arten des Subgenus Paratyphloporus Solari, 1937 stat. nov. – und zwar nur die von den Kanarischen Inseln – gehören in das Subgenus Paratorneuma Roudier, 1956 stat. nov. Für alle anderen Arten aus dem mediterranen Gebiet und den östlichen kanarischen Inseln ist eine endgültige Klassifikation zur Zeit noch nicht möglich (incertae sedis), auch wenn erste Gruppen - eingeteilt vor allem nach der Innensackstruktur des Aedoeagus - hier bereits vorgestellt werden (siehe Anhang 2). Torneuma deplanatum deplanatum (Hampe, 1864) ist die Typusart des Subgenus Typhloporus und schließt einige, aber eben nicht alle mediterranen Arten mit einem konstant tiefen Rüsselkanal ein, der – das zeigen unsere vergleichenden Studien – offensichtlich mehrere Male in der Evolution ausgebildet wurde. Zwei neue Arten werden abschließenden beschrieben: Torneuma (s. str.) isambertoi Stüben spec. nov. von Madeira and Torneuma (s.l.) cadizensis Stüben spec. nov. aus dem Süden Spaniens. Für beide Arten werden Schlüssel mit den nächst verwandten Arten präsentiert.StichwörterAcallorneuma, Torneumatini, Torneuma, Bayesian analysis, Integrative Taxonomy, morphology, CO1, new species, taxonomic changes, Western Palaearctic, Spain, Portugal, Canary Islands, Madeira.Nomenklatorische Handlungenisambertoi Stüben, 2016 (Torneuma (s. str.)), spec. nov.cadizensis Stüben, 2016 (Torneuma (s.l.)), spec. nov.

The leafhopper tribe Platyjassini, endemic to Madagascar, is revised, largely based on specimens obtained in a recent bioinventory project led by the California Academy of Sciences. Platyjassini was previously known based on the type genus, Platyjassus Evans, 1953, and four described species. Betsileonas marmorata (Blanchard, 1840), the largest leafhopper recorded from Madagascar, presently known from a few specimens collected > 100 years ago and recently considered a genus and species incertae sedis within Cicadellidae, is newly placed in Platyjassini. Fourteen new genera and 54 new species are described and illustrated, and three new combinations are proposed.

Four new genera including five new species are described. All are from north-eastern Queensland. Barbaragraecia comprises two new species. B. unicorn Rentz & Su, gen. et sp. nov. (the type species) and B. richardsoni Rentz & Su, sp. nov. Geoffagraecia is known from a single species, G. gwinganna Rentz & Su, sp. nov. the type species. Greenagraecia Rentz & Su, gen. et sp. nov. is known from two species, G. attenuata Rentz & Su, gen. et sp. nov., the type species and G. cooloola Rentz & Su, gen. et sp. nov.. The unrelated genus Nicsara Walker 1869 is discussed and species with falcate ovipositors are removed and placed in a new genus, Larifugagraecia Rentz & Su gen. nov., with Nicsara spuria Redtenbacher 1891 designated as the type species. Two species are removed from Nicsara and placed in Larifugagraecia. These are N. cornuta (Redtenbacher 1891) and N. spuria. Other species remain in Nicsara until they can be further assessed. Biological and ecological notes accompany detailed descriptions of the new species along with many morphological illustrations. Illustrations also are provided for L. spuria gen. nov. A key to the described fully-winged Australian agraeciine genera is provided at the end of the paper.

AbstractThere are about 30 species in the cockroach genus Allacta Saussure & Zehntner. Several species are redescribed, or the previously unknown sex is described, and the literature for all the known taxa is given, including original author's descriptions if specimens were not available. Two new species, namely, fascia and loconti are described. Allacta basivittata (Bruijning), previously a junior synonym of Allacta bipunctata (Walker), is considered to be distinct. Allacta montaguei Chopard is transferred to Balta Tepper. Allacta raapi Hanitsch is transferred to Sundablatta Hebard. Allacta variegata (Brunner) is placed in Margattea Shelford. Allacta crassivenosa (Bolívar) is retained incertae sedis. The species are placed in 3 groups and a key is presented to distinguish the adults.

A comparative systematic survey of fossil Mesozoic laetmogonid sea cucumbers (Elasipodida) and their relatives is presented. A re-examination of the fossil record shows that only 13 fossil taxa can be recognised as belonging to this group. Four further known ‘laetmogonid’ taxa can be regarded as incertae sedis. An analysis of the results supports the following taxonomic changes. Palaeocaudinidae Boczarowski, 2001 represents a junior synonym of the Laetmogonidae Ekman, 1926. The subfamily Staurocaudininae Boczarowski, 1997 is restricted to the type species of Staurocaudina. The new family Palaeolaetmogonidae comprises probable stem group members of the Laetmogonidae. Three new species (Palaeocaudina rugia, Priscolaetmogone oloughlini, Palaeolaetmogone frankwiesei) are described from Late Cretaceous sediments of Europe. Two new genera (Palaeolaetmogone, Priscolaetmogone) are erected. The geographic distribution and phylogenetic relationships of Mesozoic and Cenozoic laetmogonid holothurians are analysed and discussed.

Four species of Tropizodium Jocqué & Churchill, 2005 are newly recognized from Southeast Asia of which two speciesare new: T. siam sp. nov. from northern Thailand and T. murphyorum sp. nov. from Bali, Indonesia. Tropizodium serrafer-um (Lin & Li, 2009) comb. nov. is here transferred from Zodariellum Andreeva & Tyschchenko, 1968. The monotypicgenus, Indozodion Ovtchinnikov, 2006, is considered a junior synonym of Tropizodium. Its single species consequently becomes Tropizodium inayatullahi (Ovtchinnikov, 2006) comb. nov.

ABSTRACTThe genus Multicaecum Baylis 1923, sensu Hartwich 1957, was found to be heterogeneous, comprising species which are relegated to two distinct genera, namely Multicaecum Baylis, 1923 and Brevimulticaecum. The latter name is derived from the subgenus Brevimulticaecum Mozgovoy, in Skrjabin, Shikhobalova, and Mozgovoy, 1951 by raising it to generic rank and emending the definition. Multicaecum contains a single species, agile Wedl, 1861 occurring in Crocodylus spp. in Africa, India and Australia, and is characterized by smooth rounded lips, each with a dentigerous ridge comprising small sharp denticles. The excretory pore is level with the nerve ring or behind it, and the ventricular appendices are long and slender. The species gangeticum Maplestone 1930 and quadrata Linstow 1904 are excluded from Multicaecum and regarded as species inquirendae incertae sedis. Brevimulticaecum contains five species occurring in the caimans and the alligator of the New World: baylisi Travassos, 1933 (type species; acuticauda Schuurmans-Stekhoven, 1937 is placed in synonomy under baylisi); stekhoveni Baylis, 1947; tenuicolle Rudolphi, 1819; and two new species. Brevimulticaecum spp. are characterized by flat lips with alate margins and notches, without dentigerous ridges, excretory pore in front of or at nerve ring and the ventriculus with short appendices. The significance of this proposal is discussed in relation to the other genera of ascaridoid nematodes in crocodilians.

In this paper, M. yanomami n. sp., from Brazilian Amazonia, Chaetacis bandeirante n. sp., from Central Brazil, and the males of M. gaujoni Simon, 1897 and M. ruschii (Mello-Leitão, 1945) n. comb. , respectively from Ecuador and Brazil, are described and illustrated for the first time. An ontogenetic series of the last development stages of both sexes of Micrathena excavata (C. L. Koch, 1836) is illustrated and briefly described. Adult females are larger and have longer legs and larger abdomens than adult males. Probably females undergo at least one additional moult before adulthood, compared to males. Micrathena ornata Mello-Leitão, 1932 is considered a junior synonym of M. plana (C. L. Koch, 1836), and M. mastonota Mello-Leitão 1940 is synonymized with M. horrida (Taczanowski, 1873). Acrosoma ruschii Mello-Leitão, 1945 is revalidated, transferred to Micrathena and considered a senior synonym of M. cicuta Gonzaga & Santos, 2004. Chaetacis necopinata (Chickering, 1960) is recorded for Brazil for the first time. Chaetacis incisa (Walckenaer, 1841) is considered a nomen dubium.
