查看更多>>摘要：The genus Tineovertex Moriuti, 1982 is revised. Eleven species are recognized, including five new ones: T. hamoides, sp. nov., from Malaysia; T. expansa, sp. nov., from Malaysia and Brunei; T. fibriformis, sp. nov., from Malaysia; T. thailandia, sp. nov., from Thailand; and T. elongata, sp. nov., from China and Thailand. Adults and genitalia of all species are illustrated, and a key to the species is provided. Types of the new species are deposited in Hunan Agricultural University, Changsha, Hunan, China; Osaka Prefecture University, Sakai, Osaka, Japan; and The Natural History Museum, London, UK.
查看更多>>摘要：Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data from the nuclear CAD (rudimentary) and mitochondrial NDI, COI, and 16S gene regions (2817 bp total) recovered exemplars of the genus Dohrniphora as a monophyletic lineage. The data also supported the sister-group relationship of Dohrniphora + Diplonevra and were used to associate a morphologically dissimilar male and female of the species D. ecitophila. Further, we discuss the implications of this designation and provide support for the synonymy of D. ecitophila and D. geminata as proposed by Borgmeier (1968).
查看更多>>摘要：Three new species of Syndicus Motschulsky, 1851 are described: S. (s. str.) phangngaensis sp. n. (Thailand: Phang Nga), S. (s. str.) kampucheanus sp. n. (Cambodia: Mondol Kiri), and S. (Semisyndicus) schuelkei sp. n. (China: Yunnan). New distributional records are presented for S. paeninsularis bilobatus Jaloszynski, 2004 (from Laos: Bolikhamsai and Cambodia: Mondol Kiri), S. (s. str.) echinatus Jaloszynski, 2004 (from W Malaysia: Selangor), S. (s. str.) difficilis Jaloszynski, 2004 (from Thailand: Chiang Mai), S. (s. str.) himalayanus Franz, 1975 (from Nepal: Chitwan), and S. (Semisyndicus) leai leai Franz, 1971 (from W Malaysia: Selangor). The female of S. paeninsularis bilobatus is described for the first time; this species and S. kampucheanus are the first Scydmaeninae reported to occur in Cambodia.
查看更多>>摘要：Cyrtocorinae is an uncommon, small, and exclusively Neotropical group in Pentatomidae, whose immatures are poorly understood. In this paper, the egg and first and fifth instars of Cyrtocoris egeris Packauskas & Schaefer are studied with the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Specimens were collected in Maquine, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Immatures were analyzed with light stereomicroscope and SEM. The egg's chorion surface is predominantly smooth alternated with granulated areas, and an average of 54 clubbed aero-micropylar processes are arranged in three irregular rows. In the first and fifth instars, organization of the external dorso-abdominal scent efferent system suggests an analogy to the metatho-racic external scent efferent system of the adult, because of structures similar to the evaporatorium, evaporatory channel, and auricle peritreme; the last structure is absent in the first instar. Abdominal sterna III-VII have 1+1 (first instar) and 2+2 trichobothria (fifth instar). Ultrastructuralobservations allowed recognition of unique characters at the egg stage and conserved features at the nymphal stage in C. egeris.
查看更多>>摘要：The main purpose of this paper is the description of two very tiny, long-legged, and short-winged katydids from the eastern slope of the eastern Andean cordillera of south-east Ecuador, Nanoleptopoda nigrifrons gen. et sp. nov. and N. albifrons sp. nov., the first species along with its ultrasound calling song. The monospecific and closely-related genus Parangara is included in Odonturini. Dichopetala inca and Anisophya equatorialis are transferred under the so far monospecific genus Cohnia, so that now the tribe includes three genera with six species from the tropical Andes. The ecological background of wing reduction in relation to elevation is briefly discussed.
查看更多>>摘要：Rhaphium srilankensis sp. nov. is newly described from Sri Lanka. It is distinguished from all congeners by the total absence of an arista in males. The new species is the first Oriental record of Rhaphium outside of China. A key to the Oriental genera of Rhaphiinae is provided.
查看更多>>摘要：Two new species of the genus Heteroisotoma Stach are described from Northeast China, North Korea, and Far East of Russia. They are typical members of the genus although sharing spines on the dens with the genus Semicerura Maynard. In all members of Heteroisotoma, three additional processes on the labial palp are discovered and proposed as a new diagnostic generic character. The genus Heteroisotoma is rediagnosed and a key and records of known species are given. A contribution is made to the knowledgeof labial palp.
