The following six taxa are confirmed as new records to China . B. pretiosa Moore, 1879, B. defecta defecta Walker, 1854, B. gratissima (de Joannis, 1930), B. flammealis Moore, 1878, B. mactans Butler, 1877 and Barsine vinhphucensis Spitsyn et al., 2018. The new synonymy is established: Barsine pretiosa Moore, 1879 = Barsine pseudomactans Volynkin & Cerny, 2016, syn. nov. Adults and genitalia of all species aforementioned are illustrated.
查看更多>>摘要：Selenomorphini is a small tribe previously comprising four genera and 21 species, with distribution in the New World and New Caledonia. Herein are described three new species of Pachyopsis Uhler from Brazil: P. fasciatus sp. nov., P. nigrifacis sp. nov., and P. pallidus sp. nov. Two new Brazilian monotypic genera, Parapachyopsis gen. nov. and Uhleriana gen. nov. are proposed, based on P. tenebris sp. nov. and U. tornatucephala sp. nov., and an updated key to genera of Selenomorphini is provided. Pachyopsis and Scaroidana are reviewed and the detailed morphology is redescribed, including characters not previously observed and the first illustrations of the female genitalia. The type-species Scaroidana flavida Osborn is redescribed and a key to males of Pachyopsis is provided. Additionally new State records for Brazil are reported for Pachyopsis vicosensis Coelho, Scaroidana flulvula Osborn and Scaroidana flavida Osborn. Detailed comparative notes between the new genera, Pachyopsis and Scaroidana are given.

New taxonomic hypotheses were achieved through the morphological analysis of about 250 specimens allied to the type material of L. rivorum Guenee, 1852; L. pampa Schaus, 1894, stat. rev.; and Neleucania multistria Kohler, 1947, stat. rev., the last two resurrected from synonymy with L. rivorum and Dargida lithophilus (Butler, 1882), respectively. Adult habitus and morphology of the genitalia support the transfer of Neleucania multistria to Leucania, comb. nov. Lectotypes for L. rivorum and L. pampa are designated to ensure nomenclatural stability and recognizability of these taxa. Additionally, the similar, rust-colored species Leucania chejela (Schaus, 1921) is compared with species of the rivorum species-group, and is recorded from South America for the first time. All species of the rivorum group are re-described, with high-resolution images of taxonomic characters of the adults (head, patagium, and male and female genitalia), and updated distributional maps presented.
查看更多>>摘要：Male adults of gnathiid isopods (Crustacea; Isopoda; Gnathiidae) have remarkably developed rectangular-shaped cephalosomes and mandibles in most species. Tenerognathia visus Tanaka, 2005 belongs to a monospecific genus having remarkable characters in male morphology; reduced mandibles and large eyes occupying the whole of an elliptical cephalosome. The original description of T. visus is based on male adult specimens from coral rubble. This study found adult males and their larvae of T. visus attracted by light. Furthermore, specimens of female adults were observed by laboratory rearing of praniza larvae. In this study, morphologies of larvae and female adults of T. visus are described and notes on mating behavior in a laboratory aquarium are provided.

查看更多>>摘要：The larva of Agriocnemis minima Selys, 1879 is described and illustrated for the first time, based on reared specimens collected from Thailand. Selected larvae of Agrioncnemis Selys, 1877 were matched with their adults by DNA barcoding. The mitochondrial COI gene (658 bp) of three species (A. minima, A. femina femina (Brauer, 1868), and A. pygmaea (Rambur, 1842)) occurring in Thailand was analysed to confirm the species identification and to determine the association between the larva and adult stages. The larva of A. minima can be distinguished from known species by the following combination of characteristics: 1) long simple setae on the antennomeres I and II, 2) protrusion of the male cerci as long as 0.5x the S10, and 3) tufts of spiniform setae on the lateral occiput margin and on the ventral view of the compound eyes. Comparisons to known larvae of Agriocnemis and those of some other subfamily Agriocnemidinae members are also provided.
