New Host Records

Abstract Ten species of the louse genus Myrsidea belonging to the “serini-species-group” have been reviewed. A redescription of Myrsidea quadrifasciata (Piaget, 1880), the earliest described and valid species of this species complex, is given and a neotype for this species is designated. Nine new junior synonymies of M. quadrifasciata are proposed and discussed. The new synonyms and their respective type hosts are: Myrsidea anoxanthi Price and Dalgleish, 2007 from Loxipasser anoxanthus (Gosse, 1847), Myrsidea argentina (Kellogg, 1906) from Spinus magellanicus (Vieillot, 1805), Myrsidea balati Macháček, 1977 from Passer montanus (Linnaeus, 1758), Myrsidea darwini Palma and Price, 2010 from Geospiza fuliginosa Gould, 1837, Myrsidea major (Piaget, 1880) from Plectrophenax nivalis (Linnaeus, 1758), Myrsidea serini (Séguy, 1944) from Serinus serinus (Linnaeus, 1766), Myrsidea queleae Tendeiro, 1964 from Quelea quelea lathami (Smith, A., 1836), Myrsidea textoris Klockenhoff, 1984 from Ploceus cucullatus cucullatus (Müller, 1776), and Myrsidea viduae Tendeiro, 1993 from Vidua macroura (Pallas, 1764). Intraspecific morphometric variability, relative genetic divergence (based on a 379 bp portion of the mitochondrial COI gene and a 347 bp portion of the nuclear EF-1α gene), geographical distribution, and host associations, including 8 new host records for these lice, are discussed. Taking into consideration these parameters we suggest that the only way to deal with these taxa is to follow concept of subspecies with the following taxa and their geographic distributon: Palearctic Region: M. q. quadrifasciata and M. q. serini, Neotropical Region: M. q. anoxanthi, M. q. argentina, M. q. darwini, Paleotropic Region: M. q. queleae, M. q. textoris and M. q. viduae.

The Chinese species of Pediobius Walker, 1846 are treated in this paper, resulting in 34 species, of which 5 are newly described: P. bisulcatus Cao & Zhu sp. n., P. elongatus Cao & Zhu sp. n., P.petiolapilus Cao & Zhu sp. n., P. prominentis Cao & Zhu, sp. n., and P. tortricida Cao & Zhu, sp. n. Nine species are also newly recorded from China: P. anomalus (Gahan, 1920), P. bethylicidus Kerrich, 1973, P. bruchicida (Rondani, 1872), P. cassidae Erdös, 1958, P. claviger (Thomson, 1878), P. erionotae Kerrich, 1973, P. phragmitis Bouček, 1965, P. saulius (Walker, 1839), and P. tetratomus (Thomson, 1878). Four new synonyms are proposed: P. illiberidis Liao, 1987 under P. pyrgo (Walker, 1839) syn. n., P. planiceps Sheng & Kamijo, 1992 under P. inexpectatus Kerrich, 1973 syn. n., P. sinensis Sheng & Wang, 1994 under P. facialis (Giraud, 1863) syn. n., and P. songshaominus Liao, 1987 under P. yunanensis Liao, 1987 syn. n. The species-group concept is used to compare similar species, of which eight are recognized in China including two newly recognized groups: the cassidae-group and the crassicornis-group. One species complex, the P. eubius complex, is also recognized. An updated checklist of the Chinese species of Pediobius is provided, with species-group placement. New host records for Pediobius species from China are summarized in a table and valid species possibly present in China but not included in this study in another table. A key to all known females and males of Chinese Pediobius is also provided.

The 204 species-group names of Muscidae proposed by J.W. Zetterstedt, including the species described by Stenhammar and Wahlberg in Zetterstedt, are reviewed. Excluded from this total are the nomina nuda listed in Zetterstedt (1837, 1845). Of these 204 names, 192 are available names, whilst 10 are unavailable because they are nomina nuda or were proposed in synonymy and not made available before 1961 (Aricia atrata, Anthomyza bicolor, Cyrtoneura coerulescens, Cyrtoneura curvinervis, Anthomyza insignita, Pyrellia luteipennis, Pyrellia parviceps, Aricia pulchella, Anthomyza pusilla, Aricia sororia), and two are unjustified emendations (Anthomyza ocreata, Anthomyza trigonota). Of the 192 available names, 85 are valid species whilst 107 are now placed in synonymy. In this review, 106 lectotypes are designated. Three names are raised from synonymy and are given new status as valid species: Mydaea detrita (Zetterstedt, 1845), Lophosceles impar (Zetterstedt, 1846), and Helina lapponica (Ringdahl, 1918). Fourteen new synonyms are proposed: Anthomyza cingulipes Zetterstedt, 1849 with Anthomyza (now Coenosia) bilineella Zetterstedt, 1838, Anthomyza nigrifemur Zetterstedt, 1845 with Palusia (now Coenosia) testacea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Anthomyza cineraria Zetterstedt, 1845 with Anthomyza (now Helina) fratercula Zetterstedt, 1845, Anthomya veterana Zetterstedt, 1838 with Anthomyza (now Helina) longicornis (Zetterstedt, 1838), Anthomyza nivalis Zetterstedt, 1838 with Aricia (now Helina) flavisquama Zetterstedt, 1849, Aricia duplaris Zetterstedt, 1845 with Anthomyia (now Helina) obscurata Meigen, 1826, Lonchaea metallica Zetterstedt, 1849 with Anthomyia (now Hydrotaea) capensis Wiedemann, 1818, Anthomyza hians Zetterstedt, 1846 with Musca (now Lophosceles) mutatus Fallén, 1823, Anthomyza electa Zetterstedt, 1860 with Anthomyza (now Mydaea) detrita Zetterstedt, 1845, Anthomyza humeralis Zetterstedt, 1845 and Anthomyza humeralis Zetterstedt, 1860 with Mydaea setifemur Ringdahl, 1924, Anthomyza vicina Zetterstedt, 1838 with Anthomyza (now Phaonia) consobrina Zetterstedt, 1838, Aricia fumipennis Zetterstedt, 1845 with Anthomyza (now Spilogona) arctica Zetterstedt, 1838, and Anthomyza hirsutula Zetterstedt, 1838 with Anthomyza (now Thricops) innocua Zetterstedt, 1838.

Neotropical Species

The identity of many Neotropical species of Pseudisobrachium Kieffer, 1904 is currently unreachable, mostly because the available descriptions and illustrations are not sufficiently accurate to allow precise identifications. To help solve the problem, 115 valid species and their junior synonyms were examined. Twelve nomenclatural acts are made, and 110 valid species are recognized for the Neotropical region. Two lectotypes are designated: Pristocera crassicornis Westwood and Pristocera haemorrhoidalis Westwood. Seven new species-group synonyms are proposed: Pseudisobrachium retusum Evans syn. nov. for P. pauxillum Evans; P. cunco Perez syn. nov. for P. erythrocephalum Evans; P. navajo Evans, P. rectangulatum Evans, P. emarginatum Evans and P. foutsi Evans syn. nov. for P. flavinervis Fouts; P. acuminatum Waichert & Azevedo syn. nov. for P. latum Waichert & Azevedo. The following new genus-group synonym is established: Parisobrachium Kieffer syn. nov. for Dissomphalus Ashmead. The following new combination and reinstated name are proposed: Dissomphalus albipes (Kieffer) comb. nov. and nom. rev. from Pseudisobrachium paraguayense Kieffer.

Abstract Helminthological studies may contribute with valuable information on host biology and conservation. Herein, we provide new data on helminths infecting the lizard Norops fuscoauratus, testing one of the factors considered most important in parasitic ecology: host size. We analysed 25 specimens of N. fuscoauratus from three highland marshes in the Brazilian semi-arid. Eight taxa of helminths belonging to Nematoda, Trematoda and Acanthocephala were found. Physaloptera sp. showed the higher prevalence (40%), with a mean intensity of infection of 3.3 ± 1.46 (1–16) and mean abundance 1.32 ± 0.65 (0–16). Norops fuscoauratus represents four new host records for the helminths Cyrtosomum sp., Pharyngodon travassosi, Strongyloides sp. and Centrorhynchus sp. There is no relationship of host body size (P = 0.79) and mass (P = 0.50) with parasite richness. In addition, the present study contributes to the knowledge of the parasitic fauna of N. fuscoauratus and the Neotropical region.

Phylum Rotifera comprises about 2030 known species classified in three main groups, the marine Seisonida (3 species), the Monogononta (1570 species) and the unique, exclusively parthenogenetic Bdelloidea with 461 clonal species. Here I present an annotated checklist of the taxon, giving the global distribution of the valid species. This checklist contains over 3,000 available names at the genusand species-group level, including valid names and a non-comprehensive list of synonyms. A number of taxonomic and nomenclatural suggestions following from the review is presented. Suggestions include several new synonyms and two nomina nova: Dissotrocha kostei for Dissotrocha aculeata Koste, 1996 non Ehrenberg, 1838 (stat. nov., ex. Dissotrocha hertzogi aculeata) and Lepadella zigzag for Lepadella bractea Myers, 1934 non (Ehrenberg, 1838). This contribution also describes features of an on-line, global names database of the Rotifera, on which this checklist is based.
