查看更多>>摘要：The chrysomelid genus Bohumiljania Monros, 1958, is revised, with nine species, seven new: B. aoupinie sp. nov., B. caledonica (Jolivet, 1957), B. lafoa sp. nov., B. humboldti Jolivet, Verma & Mille, 2005, B. mandjelia sp nov., B. tango sp. nov., B. xanthogramma sp. nov., B. xaracuu sp. nov., B. yuaga sp. nov. All species are described. The type species, B. caledonica, is shown to have been misidentified in recent literature. The original description of the other described species, B. humboldti, is shown to include at least three species. A key is provided for identification of Bohumiljania species, all of which are endemic to the main island of New Caledonia. Six of the species are known from just 14 specimens, suggesting that further species remain to be discovered. The morphology and biology of Bohumiljania is reviewed, including description of the larva.

Marked variability in pigmentation, wing length, penial armature and ecology of populations have been noted. To clarify the taxonom-ic statusof I. curtata we examined variation in mating calls and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequences for two populations from north-central and southern Spain. Results of both approaches support the presence of two species. The north-central population corresponds to the nominal taxon, I. curtata, while southern populations represent a new species, Isoperla morenica, described herein.

查看更多>>摘要：During the preparation of a catalogue of Oriental Scydmaeninae several cases of homonymy were discovered, including a junior homonym preoccupied by two names established in a single previous article, all by the same author. Original descriptions clearly present different species, and therefore cases of duplicate descriptions can be excluded. Herein, replacement names for the homonyms are proposed.
