scholarly journals Key and atlas to the genus Trichocera MEIGEN in Europe (Diptera, Trichoceridae)

The key presents all 59 species of the genus Trichocera Meigen which occur in Europe. Four subgenera are represented: Trichocera Meigen 1803 (five species), Metatrichocera Dahl 1967 (seven species), Saltrichocera Krzemińska 2002 (35 species), and Staryia Krzemińska & Gorzka 2016 (13 species). The type material of two species, one from North America and one from Asia, are described (Trichocera columbiana Alexander, 1927 and T. arctica Lundström, 1915), whose identities cause some problems and whose presence in the northern regions of Europe is possible. Two new species are described, Trichocera (Saltrichocera) longa, n. sp., and T. (Staryia) oulankae, n. sp. Trichocera versicolor is resurrected from synonymy; T. limpidipennis is synonymized with T. regelationis. There are separate keys to males and females; species are illustrated with camera pictures of diagnostic features: genitalia, antennae, and male tarsal claws, and additionally, wings and thoraces when only one sex is known, to enable further search. The state of knowledge of the genus in Europe and in the world is discussed.

The Fannia carbonaria-subgroup belongs to the Fannia carbonaria-group Chillcott, 1961. The world fauna of this subgroup is reviewed, the diagnostic features of the subgroup are redefined, and a key to the males of the known species is given. Two new species from China are described: F. dorsovittata Wang sp. nov. and F. subfuscitibia Wang sp. nov.. To facilitate comparisons of the species, Fannia corvina (Verrall), Fannia imperatoria Nishida and Fannia xiaoi Fan are redescribed. Geographic distributions of the species of the subgroup are updated. The systematic position and distribution patterns of the F. carbonaria-subgroup are discussed.

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.

Two new species of Amaurobius from China, A. songi sp. nov. and A. spinatus sp. nov. are described on morphological characters of males and females. They are generally very similar to all known Amaurobius species from India, Europe and North America but differ in some details of the copulatory organs. The two species represent the first record of Amaurobius in China.

AbstractTwo new species, Ameletus minimus sp.nov. and Ameletus quadratus sp.nov., are described and illustrated from material collected in Oregon. Diagnostic features for these two species and their relationships with other Ameletus species are discussed. An identification key to the western species of the Ameletus celer Group is also included.

Two new species of rhagidiid mites from the Nearctic region, Foveacheles pribilovi n.sp. and F. mexicana n.sp., are described. A detailed description of F. arenaria (Willmann) based on Canadian material is given. A key to adults of the known subgenera and 31 species of the genus Foveacheles Zacharda for the world is presented.

Crosby and Bishop (1925) published a comprehensive revision of the New World genus Ceraticelus, and from time to time other species have been described as they appeared. The following descriptions of two additional species were based upon specimens in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. All type material was deposited in that institution.

Abstract—Two new species of Turnera (Passifloraceae s. l., Turneroideae), T. acangatinga and T. ibateguara, from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil, are described. Some specimens of T. acangatinga were originally treated as T. annularis. Turnera ibateguara was recently considered part of T. pernambucensis, a species which also occurs in the Atlantic Forest in northeastern Brazil, and which was, until then, only known from the type material. In this study, recent collections of T. pernambucensis in the state of Alagoas revealed that both are distinct species and that have been mistakenly identified so far. We provide data on morphology, distribution, habitat, and phenophases, a preliminary conservation status assessment for the three species, and a key to the species with capitate inflorescences from Alagoas and Pernambuco.

In preparing a revision of the triaspidine genera which occur in North America, the author has considered all the genera of this group from the world, and has found some shifting of species necessary. The genus Foersterin was created in 1896 by Szépligeti for the reception of two new species described from Europe. At that time, both the genus and the two included species were rather inadequately characterized. This situation has continued to the present day and several authors have incorrectly placed several new species from other zoogeographical regions in this genus. This paper is an attempt to clarify the concept of Szépligeti's genus, and gives a redescription of F. laeviuscula Szépl.

Two new species of the subfamily Cypricercinae McKenzie, 1971 are described from the Western part of Thailand: Pseudostrandesia ratchaburiensis sp. nov. and Strandesia prachuapensis sp. nov. Pseudostrandesia ratchaburiensis sp. nov. is mainly characterized by a flange on the antero-ventral part of the left valve (LV), a markedly large β seta on the mandibular (Md) palp, serrated bristles on the third endite of the maxillula (Mx1), a slender caudal ramus (CR) with a long claw Ga (length ca half that of the ramus) and a relatively low number (13) of spiny whorls in the Zenker’s organ. The discovery of both males and females of Pseudostrandesia ratchaburiensis sp. nov. in the present study constitutes the first report of a sexual population in this genus, thereby allowing for a comparison of the male reproductive organs (hemipenis and Zenker’s organ) from a new species with those of other genera of Cypricercinae. Strandesia prachuapensis sp. nov. is most closely related to Strandesia odiosa (Moniez, 1892) and Strandesia flavescens Klie, 1932 as they bear similar anterior flanges on the right valve (RV). The key diagnostic features of the new Strandesia species are a large carapace (ca 1.5 mm), an angulated antero-ventral part of the LV, a weak and small anterior inner list on the LV, an anterior flange on the RV, a markedly small aesthetasc Y on the second antenna, a large β seta on the Md-palp, smooth bristles on the third endite of the Mx1 and a slender CR with a short claw Ga (length ca ⅓ of the ramus). In addition, Pseudostrandesia complexa (Victor & Fernando, 1981) comb. nov. is here proposed.
