查看更多>>摘要:A new genus of Naucoridae inhabiting a waterfall in Tamil Nadu state in southern India is described. Pogonocaudina Sites and Zettel NEW GENUS is diagnosed by a dense fringe of long hairs around the perimeter of the posterior abdominal segments, and byboth males and females with a single segmented front tarsus with two pretarsal claws. Despite the lack of sexual dimorphism in the forelegs, this new genus is a member of the subfamily Laccocorinae, an assignment based on other characters consistent with this subfamily. Character states of this genus are compared with those of other Asian genera of Laccocorinae. The genus Diaphorocoris is reviewed and two new species are described here: Diaphorocoris ar-unachalami Sites and Zettel NEW SPECIES and D. kiliyur Sites and Zettel NEW SPECIES. Three species of Diaphorocoris are now known from southern India, and with one other species from Sri Lanka, a total of four species are now known in the genus. A taxonomic key is provided to distinguish all known waterfall-inhabiting Naucoridae in southern India and Sri Lanka.

These species are members of a European endemic complex of hydraenid beetles, the Hydraena emarginata-saga clade, belonging to the "Haenydra " lineage. The two new species are described and the geographic range of the widespread H saga is revised.
查看更多>>摘要:Glyptotendipes Kieffer and Demeijerea Kruseman from Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, are recorded, described or redescribed. Demeijerea spinulata sp. n., Glyptotendipes (G.) paratestaceus sp. n., G. (G.) paulisensus sp. n., and G. (G.) sensilis sp. n. are described as male imagines and G. (G.) paulisensus also as female imago. Partial redescriptions are given of: Demeijerea brachialis (Coquillett), Glyptotendipes (G.) barbipes (Staeger), G. (G.) paripes (Edwards), G. (G.) lobiferus (Say), and G. (Caulochironomus) dreisbachi Townes. A male probably belonging to G. (Caulochironomus) scirpi (Kieffer) is described. Keys are given to Nearctic males of Glyptotendipes subgen. Glyptotendipes and to known females of the subgenus.

They are described and illustrated here. These fossil flowerbugs of the family Anthocoridae (s.l.) belong to the tribe Dufouriellini Van Duzee (Lyctocorinae) are reported for the first time.
查看更多>>摘要:Dryophilocoris Reuter 1875 is a small genus of the Palaearctic mirid subfamily Orthotylinae, with 12 described species in the world (Kerzhner & Josifov, 1999; Yasunaga, 1999). Most species in this genus are distributed in northeastern Asia, except forthree European species. The members of this genus can be easily distinguished by a combination of the following: (1) body elongate, parallel-sided; (2) a vertex with transverse carina basally; (3) eye almost contiguous to the pronotum; (4) anteriorly constricted pronotum divided into two (anterior and posterior) lobes; (5) an impunctate pronotum and shallowly punctate hemelytra with blackish short pubescences; (6) vesica with 3 sclerites.
