Two New Species

A complete revision of the world species of the genus Phaenoglyphis Förster, 1869 has been conducted. A total of 25 species of Phaenoglyphis are valid after studying their type material. Two new species are described: Phaenoglyphis belizini sp. n. and Phaenoglyphis palmirae sp. n. Two species are synonymized: P. dolichocera (Cameron, 1889) with P. nigripes (Thomson, 1877) and P. pecki Andrews, 1978 with P. villosa (Hartig, 1841). Phaenoglyphis bangalorensis Kurian, 1953 was considered as incertae sedis. Phaenoglyphis duplocarpentieri (Kieffer, 1904) and P. hedickei Hedicke, 1928 are considered lost. Other three species are discarded as valid species because they are missing important parts without which the species cannot be defined: P. cincta (Hartig, 1841), P. frigidus (Belizin, 1968) and P. repentinus Belizin, 1962. A complete redescription and an illustrative plate are presented. A key to species of the genus Phaenoglyphis is given. Phylogenetic analysis based on morphological characters has been performed.

This paper presents a taxonomic revision of 28 described species of the genus Sirthenea Spinola, 1837 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Peiratinae) distributed in the Afrotropical, Oriental, Palearctic, Oceanian and Australian zoogeographical regions. The following new synonymies are proposed: Sirthenea africana Distant, 1903 = S. rapax Horváth, 1909, syn. nov. = S. leonina Horváth, 1909, syn. nov. = S. bequaerti Schouteden, 1913, syn. nov. = S. leontovitchi Schouteden, 1931, syn. nov.; Sirthenea picescens Reuter, 1887 = S. atrocyanea Horváth, 1909, syn. nov.; S. rodhaini Schouteden, 1913 = S. collarti Schouteden, 1931, syn. nov. = S. angolana Villiers, 1958, syn. nov.; S. flavipes (Stål, 1855) = S. clavata Miller, 1948, syn. nov. = S. bharati Sucheta & Chopra, 1988, syn. nov. = S. koreana Kerzhner & Lee, 1996 syn. nov. = S. melanota Cai & Lu, 1990, syn. nov. = S. nigripes Murugan & Livingstone, 1990, syn. nov.; S. obscura (Stål, 1866) = S. glabra (Walker, 1873), syn. nov. A neotype is designated for S. picescens Reuter, 1887. Three species, S. erythromelas (Walker 1873), S. fulvipennis (Walker, 1873) and S. sobria (Walker, 1873), are excluded from the genus Sirthenea. Two new species from the Oriental Region, S. kali sp. nov. (India) and S. setosa sp. nov. (Malaysia) are described. Identification keys are provided for the subgenera and species from each zoogeographical region treated. Drawings of dorsal habitus and genitalic structures, drawings and images of selected morphological characters, and distribution maps of all valid species are presented.

The genus Aspicera Dahlbom (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae: Aspicerinae) is revised herein. Aspicera has a Holarctic distribution, being here cited for the first time from the following countries: Canada, Cyprus, Greece, India (northeastern corner, which is part of the Himalayan southeastern range and is considered as belonging to the Palaearctic), Japan, Jordan, Mexico, Montenegro, and Turkey. Morphological characters necessary to differentiate the species of Aspicera are described. The 27 previously described species of Aspicera were revised, always studying the type material when available (21 species); the type material of A. aegyptica Hedicke, 1928, A. chlapowskii Kieffer, 1901, A. coriacea Kieffer, 1901, A. lobata Hedicke, 1928, A. sibirica Kieffer, 1901, A. spinosa (Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1832) are lost or destroyed, these species were studied with the original descriptions. Of the 27 known species, 16 are considered as valid and are redescribed; A. effincta Belizin, 1952 is syn. nov. of A. suecica Dalla Torre & Kieffer, 1910, and A. brevispina Kieffer, 1901 and A. coriacia Kieffer, 1901 are syn. nov. of A. hartigi Dalla Torre, 1889. Aspicera nigra Ionescu, 1969, A. nigricornis Kirby, 1889 and A. rugosa (Hartig, 1843) do not belong to the Aspicerinae, but respectively to the genera Xyalophora and Neralsia (Figitinae), and Xyalaspis (Anacharitinae): Xyalophora nigra (Ionescu) n. comb., Neralsia nigricornis (Kirby) n. comb. and Xyalaspis rugosa Hartig status restored. Aspicera lobata Hedicke, 1928 is considered as ‘incertae sedis’. The examination of additional specimens suggests that there is a general lack of knowledge of the species diversity of this genus. Thirty two new species are described: A. adelae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. annae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. belizini Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. blancae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. buffingtoni Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. caminali Ros-Farré n. sp., A. carinata Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. dianae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. kovalevi Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. elisendae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. forshzarai Pujade-Villar & Ros-Farré n. sp., A. gemmae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. jantonii Ros-Farré n. sp., A. julii Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. kiefferi Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. magdae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. marginata Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. martae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. danielssoni Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. carlestolrai Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. mireiae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. porif Ros-Farré n. sp., A. marginata Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. punctifrons Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. readae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. robusta Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. santamariai Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. sergioi Ros-Farré n. sp., A. singularica Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. teresae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. tomasi Ros-Farré n. sp., A. zuparcoi Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp. A key to all 48 valid species of Aspicera is given. All species are illustrated.

Two New Species

The type material and original descriptions of 126 nominal species from the Northeast Atlantic originally described as belonging to Harmothoe Kinberg, 1856 or later referred to this genus were examined. Of these species, only 28 are considered to be valid, i.e. less than 25 %, the others being either junior synonyms, indeterminable, invalid, or referred to other genera. The valid species are described and figured, including two new species, H. fernandi n. sp. and H. mariannae n. sp. For H. extenuata (Grube, 1840), H. imbricata (Linnaeus, 1767), and H. impar (Johnston, 1839), neotypes are designated, since their type material is lost and their original descriptions are insufficient. Harmothoe aequespina (Langerhans, 1884) and H. clavigera (M. Sars, 1863) represent new combinations. An illustrated identification key to all valid Harmothoe species of the region is given.

The species belonging to the Sphodrine genus Laemostenus Bonelli, 1810 from central and southern Zagros Mts. and central zones of Iran were studied. Two new species-groups of the subgenus Antisphodrus Schaufuss, 1865 are proposed, and seven new species belonging to subgenera Antisphodrus Schaufuss, 1865 and Iranosphodrus Lohaj & Casale, 2011 are described. Morphological characters of the habitus and shape of male genitalia were used to delimit the species. New species of subgenus Antisphodrus are: L. (A.) zagrosensis sp. nov. and L. (A.) speleophilus sp. nov. from Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, and L. (A.) farsicus sp. nov. from Fars province (zagrosensis species-group); Laemostenus (A) zakariyiensis sp. nov. from Fars province (aequalis species-group), and L. (A.) shirazensis sp. nov. from Fars province (glasunowi species-group).  Based on the newly collected material, the subgenus Iranosphodrus is redefined and two new species from Yazd province are described: L.(I.) yazdensis sp. nov. and L.(I.) troglophilus sp. nov. An identification key for the Laemostenus species of the studied area is provided, and a check list for Iranian representatives of subgenera Antisphodrus and Iranosphodrus are given.

Resulting from the examination of the type specimens of the southern African bee species originally described in the genus Osmia, the taxonomic placement of 19 species is formally established. The following combinations are formalised: Osmia atrorufa Friese, 1913 to Wainia (Caposmia) atrorufa (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia ausica Cockerell, 1944 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) ausica (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia capicola Friese, 1909 (replacement name for Osmia capensis Cameron, 1906) to Capicola capicola (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia flavipes Friese, 1909 to Afranthidium (Nigranthidium) flavipes (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia forficulina Cockerell, 1921 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) forficulina (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia karooensis Brauns, 1926 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) karooensis (Brauns) comb. nov.; Osmia mediorufa Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) mediorufa (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia namaquaensis Friese, 1913 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) namaquaensis (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia natalensis Cockerell, 1920 to Wainia (Caposmia) natalensis (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia neavei Cockerell, 1936 to Hoplitis (Anthoc- opa) neavei (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia ogilviae Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) ogilviae (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia ornatula Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) ornatula (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia orthodonta Cokkerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) orthodonta (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia pachyceps Friese, 1922 to Othinosmia (Megaloheriades) pachyceps (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia piliventris Friese, 1913 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) piliventris (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia reginae Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) reginae (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia rhodognatha Cockerell, 1932 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) rhodognatha (Cockerell) comb. nov.; Osmia similis Friese, 1909 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) similis (Friese) comb. nov.; Osmia turneri Cockerell, 1937 to Hoplitis (Anthocopa) turneri (Cockerell) comb. nov. The following new synonyms are established: Hoplitis (Anthocopa) namaquaensis (Friese) = Osmia ausica Cockerell syn. nov.; Capicola capicola (Friese) (replacement name for Osmia capensis Cameron) = Capicola braunsiana Friese, 1911 syn. nov., Capicola aurescens Cockerell, 1932 syn. nov., Hesperapis turneri Cockerell, 1934 syn. nov., Hesperapis obscura Cockerell, 1934 syn. nov.; Unlike the statement in Michener (2000: 403) Osmia? capensis Cameron, 1905 is probably not a synonym of Capicola braunsiana Friese given its body length. The type seems to be lost and the identity of this species remains unclear. Hoplitis (Anthocopa) similis (Friese) = Osmia forficulina Cockerell syn. nov; Wainia (Wainiella) sakaniensis (Cockerell, 1936) = Heriades albobarbatus Cockerell, 1937 syn. nov., Heriades debilicornis Cockerell, 1940 syn. nov., Heriades perpolitus Cockerell, 1947 syn. nov., Heriades otaviensis Cockerell, 1947 syn. nov. The status of Wainia (Caposmia) elizabethae (Friese, 1909) spec. rev. as a valid species is restored. Hoplitis (Anthocopa) conchophila Kuhlmann spec. nov., Wainia (Caposmia) gessorum Kuhlmann spec. nov. and the male of Wainia (Caposmia) atrorufa (Friese) are described for the first time. A checklist and an illustrated key to the seven southern African species of Wainia is provided. Notes on known flower visiting and nesting of Hoplitis (Anthocopa) and Wainia are given under the relevant species.
