(type species Locusta poaefolia De Haan, 1842) of Elimaea Stal, 1874; Elimaea (Poaefoliana) albimaculata sp. n., E. (P.) jitra sp. n., E. (P.) kutu sp. n., Elimaea (Schizelimaea) singgalang sp. n., Orthelimaea kanburi sp. n., O. volsella sp. n. Three classical species were also combined with the new subgenus: Elimaea (Poaefoliana) poaefolia (De Haan, 1842) comb. n., E. (P.) rosea Brunner v. Wattenwyl, 1878 comb. n., E. (P.) jacobsoni Karny, 1926 comb. n. A lectotype for E. rosea is fixed as the type series is not homogenous.

The pupal development and morphology of Walkeromya plumipes, a parasitoid of Xylocopa splendidula Lepeletier, are described. A parasitized nest was collected from Santiago del Estero province, Argentina. The development of the bombyliid fly and large carpenter bees in the nest were observed in the laboratory for a period of 28 days. A detailed description of the fly adult and pupal stages were carried out. This is the first record of W. plumipes parasitizing X. splendidula. This is also the first complete description of this fly species, including male genitalia. With the data presented here the geographical distribution of the parasite is expanded. The results suggest a close relation between the parasitoid and its host, as the genus Walkeromya Paranov has been found parasitizing only carpenter bees of genus Xylocopa.

查看更多>>摘要：The geometrid moth genus Rhodostrophia Hubner, 1823 belongs to the subfamily Sterrhinae, which presently contains 73 species (Parsons et al. 1999, Sihvonen & Nupponen 2005, Trusch & Hausmann 2007). The genus ranges from Europe, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula to Taiwan, with focal diversity in western and central Asia; three species occur in Chile (Trusch & Hausmann 2007). Diagnostic characters for Rhodostrophia include: forewing with double areole (cf. fig. 11), R2-R4 stalked, R5 from apex ofsecond areole; hindwing with Rs and Ml stalked, M3 and CuA1 usually separate; long quadripectinate male antenna with four thin branches arising from each flagellomer (pectinations reaching antennal tip); frons slightly convex, length of palpi equal to or slightly exceeding diameter of eye (Hausmann 2004; venation terminology after Scoble 1995).
