Deltocephalus Burmeister includes 4 species, Recilia Edwards includes 1 species and Maiestas Distant includes 31 species, of which 12 are new and an additional 13 are newly recorded for China. The new species described are: D. uncinatus, M. crura, M. cultella, M. dinghuensis, M. irisa, M. pararemigia, M.pil-eiformis, M. remigia, M. rostriformis, M. scalpella, M. webbi and M. yangae spp. nov. The newly recorded species are: D. pulicaris (Fallen), D. vulgaris Dash & Viraktamath, M. bilineata (Dash & Viraktamath), M. brevicula (Dash & Virak-tamath), M. heuksandoensis (Kwon & Lee), M. horvathi (Then), M. latifrons (Matsumura), M. obongsanensis (Kwon & Lee), M. samuelsoni (Knight), M. subviridis (Metcalf), M. tareni (Dash & Viraktamath), M. xanthocephala (Dash & Viraktamath) and R. coronifer (Marshall). In addition, one synonym is confirmed: M. prabha (Pruthi) is a junior synonym of M. maculata (Pruthi). The 32 species known from China are illustrated together with keys for their separation.

(H.) onilahyiana sp. nov. All three species are illustrated andcompared with the most similar congeners. The genus Anthaxia Eschscholtz, 1829 is represented in Madagascar by 24 species (Bily, 1997, Bellamy 2008) and was revised by Descarpentries (1967). That revision recognized 20 species from Madagascar to which four additional species were subsequently added by Descarpentries (1969). All Madagascan species of Anthaxia are endemic, with no continental African species having been found in Madagascar or vice versa. Collecting activities in Madagascar during the lastseveral decades have resulted in the discovery of three new species which are described in this study.

    Fossil Ponerinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Early Eocene amber of France

    查看更多>>摘要：The French Early Eocene (Ypresian, 52-55 million-year-old) amber of Oise contains a rich and well-diversified myrme-cofauna, which has remained unstudied until now. A recent survey of these fossil ants revealed 40 different species, among which nine belong to the subfamily Ponerinae. We describe here the two best-preserved morphotypes: a possible ergatoid queen representing the earliest known occurrence of the extant genus Platythyrea Roger, and described as a new species P. dlusskyi sp. n.; and a male morphotype related to the equivocal, paraphyletic genus Pachycondyla Smith, thus described herein but not formally assigned to genus until the male-based taxonomy of Ponerinae is better established. This fauna provides an ecological context to make inferences about the paleoenvironment of northwestern Europe during the PETM and gives new arguments for a radiation of modern ants at that time.

    A new species of Criocerinae (Chrysomelidae) from New Caledonia: Oulema (Oulema) taophiloides sp. nov.

    查看更多>>摘要：The first New Caledonian record for the genus Oulema Des Gozis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is reported here with the description of a new species: Oulema taophiloides sp. nov. In the course of my current phylogenetic and evolutionary research on New Caledonian Chrysomelidae, I received several samples collected by Kjell Arne Johanson and colleagues (Naturhistoriska riksmuseet, Stockholm, Sweden) in their own entomological campaigns in this archipelago. The thorough entomological prospection by theseentomologists made it possible to make very interesting discoveries among their samples. Among them, stand out a small series of Criocerinae beetles that motivate this work. The fauna of New Caledonia is very poor in representatives of this leaf beetle subfamily.
