Three New Species

Resuming published and own data, a revision of classification of Chaetognatha is presented. The family Sagittidae Claus & Grobben, 1905 is given a rank of subclass, Sagittiones, characterised, in particular, by the presence of two pairs of sac-like gelatinous structures or two pairs of fins. Besides the order Aphragmophora Tokioka, 1965, it contains the new order Biphragmosagittiformes ord. nov., which is a unique group of Chaetognatha with an unusual combination of morphological characters: the transverse muscles present in both the trunk and the tail sections of the body; the seminal vesicles simple, without internal complex compartments; the presence of two pairs of lateral fins. The only family assigned to the new order, Biphragmosagittidae fam. nov., contains two genera. Diagnoses of the two new genera, Biphragmosagitta gen. nov. (type species B. tarasovi sp. nov. and B. angusticephala sp. nov.) and Biphragmofastigata gen. nov. (type species B. fastigata sp. nov.), detailed descriptions and pictures of the three new species are presented.

This study represents the first phylogenetic reconstruction of lumbrinerid genera using parsimony analyses of 38 morphological characters. Following higher-level phylogenetic analysis, Oenone (Oenonidae) was selected as outgroup. The analysis was restricted to type species for each genus, yielded 24 equally parsimonious trees, which after successive weighting were reduced to one tree (CI= 0.7396). The topology of this tree revealed the separation of the family into four main clades: 1. Lysarete, 2. Arabellonereis, 3. Scoletoma, Lumbrineris, Hilbigneris gen. nov., Kuwaita, Lumbricalus, Sergioneris gen. nov. and Eranno, and 4. Abyssoninoe, Cenogenus, Lumbrinerides, Lumbrineriopsis, Augeneria, Loboneris gen. nov., Gallardoneris gen. nov., Helmutneris gen. nov., and Gesaneris gen. nov.; the position of Ninoe is unclear. A diagnosis of each genus is provided, including the description of six new genera and three new species. A key to lumbrinerid genera is included.

The conoidean gastropod genus Benthofascis Iredale, 1936 is examined. This genus of Conorbidae has extant species. Three previously described species from the Recent including the type species B. biconica (Hedley), B. sarcinula (Hedley), and B. lozoueti Sysoev & Bouchet are reviewed. Three new species from the Recent, B. conorbioides sp. nov., B. pseudobiconica sp. nov., and B. angularis sp. nov. are described from Australia. One of these (B. angularis) is the first Benthofascis species described from Western Australia. Two fossil species originally described as Conorbis from the Miocene and Oligocene of Australia (C. atractoides Tate and C. otwayensis Long, respectively) are for the first time assigned to Benthofascis, thus extending the geologic record of the genus to the Oligocene.

The Empis (Coptophlebia) hyalipennis-group is redefined, keyed, cladistically analysed and three new species, Empis doi, sp. nov., Empis pseudohystrichopyga, sp. nov. and Empis pseudovillosipes, sp. nov., are described (from Thailand, China and Taiwan respectively). A cladistic analysis of 27 adult morphological characters was performed for Empis hyalipennis (the type-species of the subgenus Coptophlebia), and 13 Nearctic, Oriental and Palaearctic species hypothesised as being closely related, which resulted in a single tree of 31 steps (CI = 0.96; RI = 0.98). Monophyly of the group was established on the basis of two apomorphic characters of the male hypopygium. Based on these results and previous studies of the Empis-Coptophlebia complex of subgenera within the genus Empis, the E. (C.) hyalipennis-group appears to be much richer in species, exhibit greater morphological heterogeneity and be more widely distributed than expected. It is strongly recommended that any future revision of the subfamily Empidinae should apply the name Coptophlebia only to the monophyletic Empis (Coptophlebia) hyalipennis-group defined in this study.

The genus Thectochlora Moure has been treated as containing only a single species. Based on morphological characters, five species are here recognized: T. alaris (Vachal, 1904), the type-species of Thectochlora; T. basiatra (Strand, 1910) new combination, previously placed in Pseudaugochlora; and three new species, T. brachycera new species (Brazil and Guiana), T. hamata new species (Brazil and Uruguay) and T. mixta new species (Brazil). A male syntype of Augochloropsis (Pseudaugochloropsis) basiatra Strand, 1910, from Paraguay (Villa Morra), is here designated lectotype in order to stabilize the taxonomy of the group. The species of Thectochlora are distinguished based mainly in the males; females of T. alaris and T. basiatra were considered indistinguishable. An identification key, cladistic analysis, maps of geographic records and illustrations are presented.

Abstract The phylogeny of the Oriental leafhopper genus Amritodus is reconstructed, for the first time, based on 47 discrete morphological characters and DNA sequence data from one nuclear and two mitochondrial genes. The phylogenetic results show that Amritodus is not monophyletic, and its concept is narrowed here to include four species: Amritodus atkinsoni, Amritodus brevis, Amritodus brevistylus and Amritodus saeedi. The phylogenetic results support establishment of a new genus, Paramritodus gen. nov., with three new species,Paramritodus triangulus sp. nov. (type species), Paramritodus introflexus sp. nov., Paramritodus spatiosus sp. nov. and three species previously included in Amritodus: Paramritodus pistacious comb. nov., Paramritodus flavocapitatus comb. nov. and Paramritodus podocarpus comb. nov. In addition, Amritodus flavoscutatus is transferred from Amritodus to Hyalinocerus as Hyalinocerus flavoscutatus comb. nov. Keys to species of Amritodus and Paramritodus are provided.

The definitions of the genera making up the Australian portion of the large tribe Coroebini are briefly discussed. Thirteen genera are considered to have extant species on the continent: Synechocera, Ethon, Paracephala, Meliboeithon, Dinocephalia, Alcinous, Hypocisseis, Cisseis, Neospades, Pachycisseis, Vanroonia, Polyonychus and Coroebus (the last three each having one described species from Australia). Cisseioides is returned to synonymy under Hypocisseis. Paracephala, Meliboeithon and Dinocephalia are revised, with Pseudosynechocera proposed as a new junior synonym of Dinocephalia. The authorship of Paracephala is re-attributed to Saunders. Paracephala is defined for seven species and their synonyms: the type-species, P. pisticina ( = P. minuta = Aphanisticus canaliculatus), P. occidentalis, P. aenea (= P. strandi = P. niveiventris), P. murina (= P. cylindrica), and three new species, P. deserta, P. hesperia and P. borea. Meliboeithon is re-defined for six species and their synonyms, four being transferred from Paracephala: the type-species, M. intermedium (= M. fissus), M. bicostatum, M. crassum, M. vitticeps and two new species, M. confusum and M. cylindricolle. Dinocephalia, is re-defined for seven species and their synonyms, with four transferred from Paracephala: the typespecies, D. thoracica ( = D. gigantea), D. browni, D. cyaneipennis, D. transsecta (= P. impressicollis); one species, D. carteri, transferred from Pseudosynechocera, and two new species, D. leucogaster and D. burnsi. Keys are presented for the separation of the 13 genera and the species of Paracephala, Meliboeithon and Dinocephalia. Lectotypes are designated for Paracephala aenea, P. browni, P. transsecta and P. vitticeps. Key morphological features are illustrated for the genera and for the species of the three revised genera. A preliminary hypothesis of the phylogeny of the 10 strictly Australian coroebine genera is presented in conclusion.

Neomuscina Townsend includes 41 species distributed throughout the Nearctic and Neotropical Regions. Although the genus has a large number of species, it has been ignored and its taxonomy is confusing and has many flaws. In this work we analyzed the following species recorded for Brazil: Neomuscina atincta Snyder, N. atincticosta Snyder, N. capalta Snyder, N. currani Snyder, N. douradensis Lopes & Khouri, N. goianensis Lopes & Khouri, N. inflexa (Stein), N. instabilis Snyder, N. mediana Snyder, N. mimosa Lopes & Khouri, N. neosimilis Snyder, N. nigricosta Snyder, N. paramediana Lopes & Khouri, N. pictipennis pictipennis (Bigot), N. ponti Lopes & Khouri, N. sanespra Snyder, N. schadei Snyder, N. similata Snyder, N. stabilis (Stein), N. transporta Snyder, N. vitoriae Lopes & Khouri and N. zosteris (Shannon & Del Ponte). Neomuscina nigricosta and N. transporta are new distribution records for Brazil. Three new species are described: Neomuscina anajeensis sp. nov. from Anagé (Bahia), Neomuscina maculata sp. nov. from Botelhos (Minas Gerais) and Neomuscina snyderi sp. nov. from Mata de São João (Bahia). An identification key based on the morphological characters of both male and female is provided. Species distributions are discussed and updated, and the number of species now recorded for Brazil is 29.
