New data on morphology and distribution of little known genus Groenendaelia Yakovlev, 2004 (Lepidoptera, Cossidae: Cossinae) with description of new tribe Groenendaelini Yakovlev, tribus n.

The article describes for the first time the female of Groenendaelia kinabaluensis (Gaede, 1933) (Lepidoptera, Cossidae: Cossinae), and provides photos of the male genitalia. The species is for the first time reported for the fauna of Laos. The map of the genus distribution is given. The tribe Groenendaelini Yakovlev, tribus n., including two genera, Groenendaelia Yakovlev, 2004 and Miacora Dyar, 1905, is described. The article has 8 illustrations.

Using hyperspectral imagery to investigate large-scale seagrass cover and genus distribution in a temperate coast

Seagrasses are regarded as indicators and first line of impact for anthropogenic activities affecting the coasts. The underlying mechanisms driving seagrass cover however have been mostly studied on small scales, making it difficult to establish the connection to seagrass dynamics in an impacted seascape. In this study, hyperspectral airborne imagery, trained from field surveys, was used to investigate broadscale seagrass cover and genus distribution along the coast of Adelaide, South Australia. Overall mapping accuracy was high for both seagrass cover (98%, Kappa = 0.93), and genus level classification (85%, Kappa = 0.76). Spectral separability allowed confident genus mapping in waters up to 10 m depth, revealing a 3.5 ratio between the cover of the dominant Posidonia and Amphibolis. The work identified the absence of Amphibolis in areas historically affected by anthropogenic discharges, which occasionally contained Posidonia and might be recovering. The results suggest hyperspectral imagery as a useful tool to investigate the interplay between seagrass cover and genus distribution at large spatial scales.

Revision of the New Guinean genus Zophiuma (Hemiptera, Lophopidae)

The lophopid genus Zophiuma Fennah, 1955 is revised with two new species described, Z. gitauae sp. nov. and Z. torricelli sp. nov. and Z. doreyensis (Distant, 1906) is placed in synonymy with Z. pupillata (Stål, 1863). A key to the species for the genus, distribution map and the male genitalia illustrations are provided.

Two new species of Meyoarabiella Yakovlev, 2008 (Lepidoptera, Cossidae) from Namibia with World Catalogue of the Genus

The article describes two new species Meyoarabiella naumanni Yakovlev, sp. nov. (Type locality: Namibia, Region Iikaras, Klein Ausvista, Umg. Aus Region, S 26º40′19′′ / E 16º14′53′′) and M. vansoni Yakovlev, sp. nov. (Type locality: Namibia, Region Hardap, Umg. Mariental Hardap Damm, S 24º28.869 / E 17º50.364). The article is illustrated with 6 images (photos of the adults, male genitalia of the new species and the map of the genus distribution).

A new troglobite species of Habeastrum Simone, 2019 from Brazil, and support for classification in Diplommatinidae (Mollusca, Caenogastropoda)

The genus Habeastrum Simone, 2019 was recently described based on empty shells, counting with two troglobite species. Conchological features allowed a preliminary classification in the caenogastropod family Diplommatinidae, but this family allocation was left open to future studies. Herein, we present a detailed anatomical study of newly acquired specimens, confirming the classification in Diplommatinidae. These new specimens, from Minas Gerais state, SE Brazil, belong to a new troglobite species described herein, Habeastrum strangeisp. nov. The present records extend the genus distribution ca. 1,100 km east-northeast.

Redescription of Alopecosa albostriata (Araneae: Lycosidae) based on specimens from Siberia

Alopecosa albostriata (Grube, 1861), originally described from Western Yakutia, is redescribed based on specimens from Siberia. Although A. albostriata is known to be distributed in Kazakhstan, Russia, China and Korea, with records attributed to more than 30 taxonomic entries, and is considered as a senior synonym of nine species (all described from China), it is actually restricted to Siberia and was illustrated only in two publications. All synonyms and records from China, Kazakhstan and Korea refer to species related to Mustelicosa dimidiata (Thorell, 1875). Among Palaearctic species, A. albostriata is most similar to A. mutabilis (Kulczyński, 1908). Comparative figures are provided for the latter species. These two species, together with A. exasperans (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1877) form the albostriata species group occurring across Siberia and the northern Nearctic. Male palps in this species group are most similar to those in Mustelicosa Roewer, 1960, and most likely that species group will be transferred to this genus. Distribution records of A. albostriata are shown on map.

First record of the genus Caenosclerogibba Yasumatsu, 1958 (Hymenoptera: Sclerogibbidae) from the Philippines

The sclerogibbid wasp genus Caenosclerogibba Yasumatsu, 1958 (Hymenoptera: Sclerogibbidae) and the species C. longiceps (Richards, 1958) are recorded for the first time in the Philippines. The discovery of Caenosclero­gibba in the Philippines extends the range of the genus distribution from China and Japan downward to Southeast Asia. Caenosclerogibba longiceps is the second species of Sclerogibbidae recorded from the country.
