Oku at 2200-2800 m, Korup National Park at 300 m, Mt. Kupe at 1550m and Mt. Cameroon at Bakingili village at 250 m. In total we collected 242 specimens representing 14 species, among them nine species new to Cameroon and eight species likely new to science. Four flightless new species are described: Congomostes hintelmanni n. sp., Baloghianestes oribatidiformis n. sp., B. korupensis n. sp. and B. anceps n. sp. Other Ceratocanthinae species presently known from Cameroon are: Baloghianestes lissoubai Paulian, 1968, Cal-lophilharmostes fleutiauxi (Paulian, 1942), Carinophilharmostes vadoni (Paulian, 1937), Melanophilharmostes burgeoni (Paulian, 1946), M. demirei Paulian, 1977, M. zicsii (Paulian, 1968), Philharmostes (Holophilharmostes) badius (Petro-vitz, 1967), Petrovitzostes guineensis (Petrovitz, 1968), P. elytratus(Paulian, 1946), P. endroedyi (Paulian, 1974), along with three unnamed species of Melanophilharmostes Paulian, 1968 and one unnamed species of Pseudopterorthochaetes Paulian, 1977. Twelve Cameroonian Ceratocanthinae species are keyed and all 14 recently collected species are illustrated with habitus images.

Rubiaceae) and Eumetriochroa hederae Kumata, 1998 (host plant: Hedera nepalensis var. sinensis (Tobl.) Rehd., Araliaceae), are recorded from new host plants from Hunan, China. Pupae of the genera Corythoxestis and Eumetriochroa are described for the first time. We found three diagnostic differences from other genera of Oecophyllembiinae and Phyllocnistis. Corythoxestis sunosei has a unique frontal process flanked by two long processes with a pair of setae, and both C. sunosei and E. hederae have a cremaster with two pairs of caudal processes.

    查看更多>>摘要：The Japanese fauna of Manota comprises of 11 out of 14 Palaearctic species with a strong influence of Oriental elements in the southern subtropical parts of the country. The following five new species are described: M. curvistylus, M. kyush-uensis, M.omotoensis, M. tripectinata, and M. yaeyamaensis. Three species are recorded for first time from Japan: M. bilobata Papp, 2004, M. epigrata Hippa, 2009 and M. planilobata Hippa, 2008. The hypopygia of the Japanese specimens of M. tylobata and M. planilobata are illustrated. New Japanese records are given of the following three species: M. in-dahae Hippa & Kjaerandsen, 2010, M. satoyamanis Hippa & Kjaerandsen, 2010 and M. tunoae Hippa & Kjaerandsen, 2010. A key to the Palaearctic species of Manota is given.

    The identity of Paratrizygia conformis Tonnoir (Diptera, Mycetophilidae), with comments on its systematic position

    查看更多>>摘要：Paratrizygia conformis, the type-species of the genus Paratrizygia, from Tasmania, is redescribed from the holotype. The wing venation and male terminalia are illustrated in detail. The question of the monophyly of the genus-which has four additionalspecies in Chile and southern Argentina, and four species in the Atlantic Forest, in Brazil-is addressed. Comments are made on the relationships of the genus in the Azana-group of Sciophilinae. The hypothesis of monophyly of Paratrizygia is retained, asindicated by the presence of modified, elongated spines on a distal fold of tergite 9.

    A new species of Phanerotoma Wesmael (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Cheloninae), a parasitoid of Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) from South China

    查看更多>>摘要：Phanerotoma conopomorphae sp. nov. (Cheloninae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is described and illustrated; a solitary parasitoid of the litchi fruit borer Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) of Litchi chinensis Sonn. in Guangdong (South China). The new species is compared with related species from the Oriental region. Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) is one of the major pests of litchi and longan trees (Qian, 1955; Yao, 1990). The larvae cause considerable yield losses and economic injury by penetrating the leaves, flowers and fruits (Feng et al, 2004; Li, 2005). Sometimes the fruit production is reduced by 60%-80% in Guangdong (China) (Huang et al, 2001). Because the larvae live inside the fruits, theyare very difficult to control by traditional methods. Three species of Braconidae are known to occur on this host (Yu et al, 2007): Chelonus chailini Walker & Huddleston, 1987; Parachremylus litchii Belokobylskij & Maeto, 2006 (both also on C. litchiella Bradley, 1986) and Protapanteles conopomorphae (Tsang & You, 2007).

    查看更多>>摘要：The orchid bee faunas of Floresta Nacional do Rio Preto, Reserva Biologica Corrego Grande, and Reserva Biologica Corrego do Veado, in the northernmost portion of the state of Espirito Santo, southeastern Brazil, were surveyed for orchid bees for the first time. A total of 1,603 males belonging to 24 species were attracted to 16 different scent baits and actively collected with insect nets during 100 hours from December, 2009, to February, 2010. One species of Euglossa, known as strongly dependent onwell preserved mature forests, once recorded at the region, was not found in this survey and may indicate the first documented local extinction of an orchid bee species. This species, which Atlantic Forest population has been treated as Euglossa analis Wdstwood, 1840, is here considered a new species, Euglossa marianae sp. n.
