Ail new taxa are from the Madygen Formation (Ladinian-Carnian) of Kyrgyz-stan. Saaloscytinidae stat. nov. (Scytinopteroidea) includes Tingiopsis reticulata Becker-Migdisova, 1953 from Madygen and Saaloscytina Brauckmann et Schlueter, 1993 (= Chanarescytina Brauckmann, Martins-Neto et Gallego, 2006, syn. nov. = Chanarelytrina Martins-Neto et Gallego, 2006, syn. nov.) with one species from Germany and another from Argentina (Saaloscytina carmonae (Brauckmann, Martins-Neto et Gallego, 2006), comb. nov. = Chanarelytrina nana Martins-Neto et Gallego, 2006, syn. nov.). Maguviopseidae fam. nov. (Prosboloidea) comprises 2 subfamilies and 11 genera (all from Madygen): Sacvoyageinae subfam. nov. for Sacvoyagea ventrosa gen. et sp. nov. and Maguviopseinae subfam. nov. for Nonescyta mala gen. et sp. nov. and Nevicia imitans gen. et sp. nov. (Nonescytini trib. nov.), Maguviopsis kotch-nevi Becker-Migdisova, 1953, Sitechkaperforata gen. et sp. nov., Phyllotexta latens gen. et sp. nov., Cuanomaprotracta gen. et sp. nov., Fasolinka beckermigdisovae gen. et sp. nov., Krendelia ansata gen. et sp. nov., Falcarta bella gen. et sp. nov., and Asiocula lima gen. et sp. nov. (Maguviopseini trib. nov.). Another family, Mesojabloniidae Storozhenko, 1992, is transferred from Grylloblattida to Hylicelloidea, and Fulgobole evansi gen. et sp. nov. and Scytachile emeljanovi gen. et sp. nov. are assigned to this family along with Mesojablonia kukalovae Storozhenko, 1992 (all three from Madygen). Homoplastic similarities of Saaloscytinidae and Maguviopseidae to Membracoidea and Mesojabloniidae to Fulgor-oidea are discussed. The elaborate camouflage of these extinct hoppers and Dysmorphoptilidae is presumably due to increase of visual predation by small arboreal reptiles in the Triassic.

    查看更多>>摘要：Two new species of Phylini, Glaucopterum alborubrum sp. nov. and Compsidolon schrenkianum sp. nov. are described from Xinjiang province of China. Illustrations of the male genitalia, tarsus and pretarsus, photographs of the dorsal habitus, known hosts, and distributional records are provided for each species. The following 13 species of Miridae are recorded forHhe first time from China: Anonychiella brevicornis (Reuter, 1879), Atomophora mongolica Konstantinov, 2000, Blepharidopterus angulatus (Fallen, 1807), Compsidolon eximium (Reuter, 1879), Dichrooscytus consobrinus Horvath, 1904, Dichrooscytus kerzhneri Josifov, 1974, Hallodapus montandoni Reuter, 1895, Orthotylus nassatus (Fabricius, 1787), Orthotylus (Melanotrichus) schoberiae Reuter, 1876, Phaeochiton ebulum Putshkov, 1977, Pilophorus confusus (Kirschbaum, 1856), Tuponia (Chlorotuponia) prasina (Fieber, 1864), Tuponia (Tuponia) soongorica Drapolyuk, 1980. Also, the following nine species of plant bugs are new records for Xinjiang Province:Atomoscelis onusta (Fieber, 1861), Blepharidopterus diaphanus (Kirschbaum, 1856), Campylomma verbasci (Meyer-Dur, 1843), Europiella alpina (Reuter, 1875), Lygocoris rugicollis (Fallen, 1807), Orthops mutans (Stal, 1858), Phaeochiton caraganae (Kerzhner,1964), Pilophorus clavatus (Linnaeus, 1767), Psallopsis kirgisica (Becker, 1864). Distributional areas and distinctive features of Tuponia roseipennis (Reuter, 1878) and T. soongorica Drapolyuk, 1980 are briefly discussed.

    The larva of Allopodagrion brachyurum De Marmels, 2001 (Odonata: Zygoptera: Megapodagrionidae) from Southern Brazil

    查看更多>>摘要：The larva of Allopodagrion brachyurum De Marmels, 2001 is the first known for the genus. The larva is described and illustrated based on exuviae of reared larvae collected in the upper course of the Rio dos Sinos, in Caraa municipio, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The larva of A. brachyurum can be distinguished from all other neotropical megapodagrionid larvae primarily by the presence of a well developed obtuse tubercle in sub-vertical orientation on each side of occiput; two blunt tubercles on top of the head; and caudal gills thin, stiff, triquetral and extremely long, as long as body.

    A new species of the genus Mesosmittia Brundin, 1956 (Diptera: Chironomidae) from the Neotropics with a cladistic analysis of the genus using quantitative characters

A cladistic analysis was conducted in order to assess its possible relationships with the remaining species in the genus, and it was foundthat M. museophila is the sister group of M. mina Sasther and these two species are closely related to M. prolixa Ssether. This analysis suggests that standardization is preferable to use of raw data and the latter are preferable to any statistic descriptor.

    First field records of the sexuales (males and oviparae) of Toxoptera aurantii (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

    查看更多>>摘要：Toxoptera aurantii (Boyer de Fonscolombe) is an aphid pest of great agricultural importance, not only due to its polyphagy but mostly due to its ability to transmit various plant viruses e.g. Citrus tristeza virus on Citrus (Blackman & Eastop, 2000).Blackman & Eastop (2000) considered this aphid to be entirely anholocyclic, because no sexual morphs have ever been observed in the field. However, two alate males collected on Citrus in Palestine, December 1935 (15.xii.—letter dated) (F.S. Bodenheimer), are present in the collections at The Natural History Museum, London (Blackman & Eastop, 2010), and more recently the first oviparous female was collected from the field in an aphid sample collected on Sambucus nigra in Malta (Valletta, Floriana Argotti Garden) on 4.xii.2008 (leg. A. Tabone). The oviparous female is deposited in the aphidologiqal collection of the University of Leon, Spain (sample Malta-707).

    A new species of the Madagascan genus Pseudorphnus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Orphninae)

    查看更多>>摘要：Pseudorphnus carinatus new species is described from northern Madagascar (Antsiranana Province). Males of the new species differ from other species of the genus in having a long (about 8/10 the width of clypeus) transverse ridge near anterior margin of the clypeus. Pseudorphnus Benderitter, 1913, is a small genus of orphnine scarab beetles endemic to Madagascar. The members of the genus, both males and females, can immediately be recognized among other orphnines by the peculiar shape of their protibiae, which have two robust outer teeth and a third much smaller tooth located at the very basal part of the protibia (Benderitter 1913, Paulian 1977). The genus previously included three species: P. coquereli (Fairmaire, 1868), P. hiboni Paulian, 1959, and P. olsoufieffi Paulian, 1977. The first species is known from a reasonable number of specimens collected throughout the island but mainly in the northern part. The second species was original described from a single female specimen, but extensive sampling in the Ranomafana National Park in recent years has yielded a few additional specimens of both sexes (Frolov & Montreuil 2006). The third species is known only from the two male type specimens and a female, collected in central Madagascar and deposited in the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNFfN).
