Table 1 lists the holotypes and other type specimens of the species depositedin the Natural History Museum, London, England (BMNH), National Zoological Collections, Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, India (NZSI), Forest Entomology Division, Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun, India (FRI), National Pusa Collections, Divisionof Entomology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India (NPC), and the Insect Collection, Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India (ZDAMU). The holotypes and lectotypes of 700 species are distributed as follows: BMNH (175), NZSI (34), FRI (28), NPC (131), and ZD AMU (332). The holotypes of 17 species could not be located in ZD AMU, but all of these species are represented by paratypes. A further 23 species whose types are not located in ZD AMU are listed in Table 2.

    Two new species of Larsia Fittkau, 1962 (Diptera: Chironomidae: Tanypodinae) from Neotropical Region, with a checklist of Larsia species of the world

An annotated checklist of the world's valid Larsia species is given and keys to pupae and larvae of known species inthe Neotropical region are provided. Non-biting midges of the genus Larsia are small to minute dipterans with worldwide distribution, often found in ponds and the littoral zone of lakes. The genus belonging to Pentaneurini tribe was erected by Fittkau (1962) with Ablabesmyia atrocincta Goetghebuer (1942) as the type species. Prior to the present study Larsia comprised 18 described valid species (Table 1). The adult males are distinguished by the following combination of characters: presence of scutal tubercle, lyrate or comb-like tibial spurs in all legs and r-m and m-cu confluent (Murray & Fittkau 1989). Whereas, the thoracic horn with alveolar respiratory atrium is the diagnostic character for the pupae (Fittkau & Murray 1986). The larvae can be distinguished by having antenna 3.5 times length of mandible, with ring organ of basal segment near middle and inner apical margin of dorsomentum directed medially (Epler 2001).

    A new species of Typhlocharis Dieck, 1869 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Anillini) from South Spain, with notes on the phylogenetic value of sexually related characters and the presence of stridulatory organ (pars stridens) in the genus

Its affinities with other species are discussed, mainly thosewith males having a median tubercle in sternum II: T. bivari Serrano and Aguiar, 2006, T. passosi Serrano and Aguiar, 2005, T. navarica Zaballos and Wrase, 1998 (outereloi group), T. monastica Zaballos and Wrase, 1998 and T. per-egrina Zaballos and Wrase, 1998 (monastica group). The value of sexual dimorphism as a phylogenetic and taxonomic tool is revised; seemingly there is no relationship between this kind of sexual dimorphism and the traits that differentiate the established species groups (umbilicate series, type of gonocoxite, dimorphism in tibiae I and II, etc.). The presence and significance of stridulatory organ (pars stridens) is also commented upon, updating and increasing the scarce data available about this structure, poorly considered inthe literature, with notes about distribution and relationships of the species which have it.

    查看更多>>摘要：A key is provided to 14 species of Scirtothrips recorded from Africa south of the Sahara, including Cape Verde Islands. S. dodonaeae sp. n. is described from Dodonaea in South Africa, and the possibility is discussed that South African populations here referred to as S. aff. dorsalis represent a new species. Type specimens of the six Scirtothrips species described by J.C.Faure have been re-examined, and brief diagnoses are provided for all 14 species.

    查看更多>>摘要：The examination of the holotypes of Hypogastrura parvula Haybach, 1972 and Orogastrura parva (Gisin, 1949) revealed that they are conspecific, resulting in the synonymization of the former with the latter. The similar, but poorly known, species H. exigua Gisin, 1958 and H. oreophila Butschek, 1948 from the Alps have been redescribed. Three main evolutionary lineages: ceratophysellan, hypogastruran and xenyllan, are distinguished within the col-lembolan family Hypogastruridae (Thibaud et al. 2004). Each lineage comprises species evolving by reduction of eyes and furca. In spite of the low phylogenetic value of these regressive features, the species were assembled into genera of uncertain monophyly.
