Eleven Species

Eleven species of Leptusa Kraatz, 1858 are described and illustrated: Leptusa (Aphaireleptusa) excisa spec. nov. (China: Shaanxi: Qinling Shan); L. (A.) grandipennis spec. nov. (China: Sichuan: Songpan env.); L. (A.) gonggana spec. nov. (China: Sichuan: Gongga Shan); L. (A.) habana spec. nov. (China: Yunnan: Haba Shan); L. (A.) auriculata spec. nov. (China: Yunnan: Diancang Shan); L. (Drepanoleptusa) emeiana spec. nov. (China: Sichuan: Emei Shan); L. (D.) jizuica spec. nov. (China: Yunnan: Jizu Shan); L. (D.) desculpens spec. nov. (China: Yunnan: Dawei Shan); L. (Chondrelytropisalia) procera spec. nov. (China: Sichuan: Songpan env.); L. (Yunnaleptusa) monscangi spec. nov. (China: Yunnan: Diancang Shan); L. (Chondrelytropisalia) pathibarana spec. nov. (Nepal: Taplejung district). One synonymy is proposed: Leptusa (Drepanoleptusa) emplenotoides Assing, 2006 = Leptusa (Aphaireleptusa) zhongdianensis Pace, 2010, syn. nov. Leptusa jinfomontis Pace, 2001 (previously in Nesopisalia Pace, 1992) and L. calliceroides Assing, 2004 (previously incertae sedis) are moved to the subgenus Drepanoleptusa Pace, 1982. An updated catalogue of the Leptusa species recorded from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong is provided. The Leptusa fauna of this region now includes 73 species and three subspecies in twelve subgenera. Additional records of 22 previously named species are reported from China (eleven species), the Caucasus region (eight), Japan (two), and South Korea (one), among them several new country and regional records. Leptusa is now represented in the Palaearctic region by 418 species and 74 subspecies in 71 subgenera.

This is the first detailed taxonomic study of the genus Navicula in the Krasnodar Territory of the Caucasus region, Russia. During the study of the genus in waterbodies of the Adegoy River valley 15 taxa were recorded. Two species, N. adegoyensis sp. nov. and N. pseudocryptofallax sp. nov., are described as new to science. Their morphology is studied by light and scanning electron microscopy, and comparisons with morphologically similar species are provided. The use of the name N. avenacea for N. lanceolata sensu auct. is discussed. Navicula diversity was higher in the Adegoy River than in pools elsewhere in the river valley.

The fauna of quill mites of the family Syringophilidae (Acari: Prostigmata: Cheyletoidea) of the Palaearctic Region is comprehensively revised. The external morphology of adults and immature instars was studied in detail. All known 118 species grouped in 32 genera and 2 subfamilies occuring in the Palaearctic Region are examined and keyed. Critical reviews of host associations, occupying habitat, and distribution are given for all mite species. Six new genera are proposed, 4 in the subfamily Syringophilinae: Betasyringophiloidus gen. nov., Krantziaulonastus gen. nov., Paraniglarobia gen. nov., Pteroclidisyringophilus gen. nov.; and 2 in the subfamily Picobiinae: Neopicobia gen. nov., and Rafapicobia gen. nov. Twenty five new species are described in the subfamily Syringophilinae: Aulobia leucostictus sp. nov., Aulonastus lanius sp. nov., A. loxius sp. nov., A. anthus sp. nov., A. fringillus sp. nov., Betasyringophiloidus saxicolus sp. nov., B. phoenicurus sp. nov., Krantziaulonastus oryzivorus sp. nov., K. lonchurus sp. nov., Meitingsunes columbicus sp. nov., Neoaulonastus remizus sp. nov., N. caligatus sp. nov., N. aegithalos sp. nov., N. picidus sp. nov., N. riparius sp. nov., Selenonycha chradriiformicus sp. nov., Syringophiloidus philomelosus sp. nov., S. petronicus sp. nov., S. parapresentalis sp. nov., S. coccothraustes sp. nov., Syringophilopsis idunae sp. nov., S. muscicapus sp. nov., S. passericus sp. nov., S. nucifragus sp. nov., Torotrogla pycnonotus sp. nov. and five new species are described in the subfamily Picobiinae: Picobia cetti sp. nov., P. riparius sp. nov., P. eremophila sp. nov., P. galerida sp. nov., and Rafapicobia zirnitra sp. nov. The following new combinations are proposed: Aulobia stachyris (Bochkov et al., 2000) comb. nov., Betasyringophiloidus motacillae (Bochkov and Mironov, 1998) comb. nov., B. schoeniclus (Skoracki, 2002) comb. nov., Columbiphilus alectoris (Fain et al., 2000) comb. nov., Columbiphilus polonica (Skoracki et al., 2001) comb. nov., C. pteroclesi (Skoracki and OConnor, 2010) comb. nov., Cuculisyringophilus chirovi (Bochkov and Mironov, 1998) comb. nov., Krantziaulonastus buczekae (Skoracki, 2002) comb. nov., Krantziaulonastus galbulicus (Skoracki, 2008) comb. nov., Neoaulonastus bisetatus (Fritsch, 1958) comb. nov., Neopicobia anthi (Fritsch, 1958) comb. nov., Neopicobia cardinalis (Skoracki et al., 2010) comb. nov., N. carpodacus (Skoracki et al., 2010) comb. nov., N. epthianura (Skoracki et al., 2008) comb. nov., N. glossopsitta (Skoracki et al., 2008) comb. nov., N. locustella (Skoracki et al., 2004) comb. nov., N. modularis (Skoracki and Magowski, 2001) comb. nov., N. pyrrholaemus (Skoracki and Glowska, 2008) comb. nov., N. troglodytes (Skoracki et al., 2010) comb. nov., N. zumpti (Lawrence, 1959) comb. nov., Paraniglarobia calidridis (Bochkov and Mironov, 1998) comb. nov., Paraniglarobia skorackii (Bochkov and Galloway, 2004) comb. nov., Pteroclidisyringophilus re (Skoracki and OConnor, 2010) comb. nov. Three species are considered as incertae sedis: Picobia brotogeris Fain et al., 2000, P. leucophaeus Skoracki et al., 2010, P. poicephali Skoracki and Dabert, 2002.

The Dolichopus plumipes species group in the Palaearctic Region is redefined. It comprises eleven species including one new species, Dolichopus malekii sp. nov., from the East Azerbaijan province in north-western Iran. The species group is differentiated from other Dolichopus by the modified male mid tibia and/or mid basitarsus (except D. simplex). The mid tibia is often thin, having a longitudinal narrow dark streak (D. plumipes) or clear whitish yellow dorsal area in distal third, rarely simple or inconspicuously modified (D. discifer). Mid basitarsus is pennate or bearing elongate setae or simple. Other tarsomeres are usually simple (except D. discifer). A revised key to the species group is provided, as well as remarks on its geographical distribution.

A New Species

Leptoplectus kijimunaa Jałoszyński & Nomura, sp. n. is described, based on a series of specimens collected on Okinawa Island, Japan. Morphological structures of the new species are illustrated in detail and compared to known characters of all remaining 14 congeners. As the diagnosis of Leptoplectus remains unclear, character variability within known species is discussed. It is concluded that within Palaearctic region, the bilobed labrum is a reliable character to distinguish this genus from other Euplectini. The placement of Labroplectus Kurbatov, treated as incertae sedis within the tribe Trichonychini in the latest edition of the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, is verified and it is concluded that it should be maintained in Euplectini. An identification key to genera of northeastern Asian Euplectini is given. We also comment on outdated and inaccurate morphological nomenclature still broadly used in descriptions of new Pselaphinae taxa.

AbstractEleven species are recognized of which C. bogilana and C. subflavorubescens are described here as new to science while nine species (C. cinnabarina, C. decipiens, C. ferruginea, C. inconspecta, C. pellodella, C. scopularis, C. stantonii, C. squamosa and C. subsoluta) are reported for the first time for South Korea. Both new species are peculiar due to their secondary chemistry; anthraquinones along with atranorin, gyrophoric acid and lecanoric acid in C. bogilana, and gyrophoric acid together with anthraquinones in C. subflavorubescens.
