查看更多>>摘要:Two new species of the genus Trypoxylon,namely T.flavimaculatum Fu & Li,sp.nov.and T.tuberantennatum Fu & Li,sp.nov.,are described and illustrated from Guizhou,Guangdong,Guangxi and Zhejiang Provinces,China.Another two species,T.chosenense Tsuneki,1956 and T konosuense Tsuneki,1968,are newly recorded from China.
查看更多>>摘要:The genus Diomus Mulsant,1850(Coleoptera:Coccinellidae:Diomini)from China is herein revised.Five species of Diomus are occurring in the Chinese fauna to date,including a new species from the Dafushan Mountains Forest Park,Guangzhou,Guangdong,namely D.dafushanensis Bi,Peng & Chen,sp.nov.Nomenclatural history,diagnosis,illustrations and distribution were provided for each species.A key to the native species of Diomus from China is also presented.
查看更多>>摘要:Specimens of the crane fly genus Helius Lepeletier & Serville,1828 from Sichuan,China are examined and studied.Three Helius species all belonging to the nominotypical subgenus are recognized,of which H.(H.)pallidissimoides Xu,Ma & Zhang,sp.nov.is described and illustrated as new to science,and H.(H.)pallidissimus Alexander,1930 and H.(H.)franckianus Alexander,1940 are redescribed and illustrated.For the first time,descriptions and illustrations are provided for the male of H.(H.)pallidissimus and the female of H.(H.)franckianus.
查看更多>>摘要:In this study,we review the Rheotanytarsus acerbus species group based on adult males from China.Two new species,R.cangshanensis Lin & Yao,sp.nov.and R.yamamotoi Lin & Yao,sp.nov.,are described.R.adjectus(Johannsen,1932)is re-described for its new record from China.A world key to adult males of acerbus species group is provided for the first time.
查看更多>>摘要:A new freshwater opecoelid species,Sphaerostoma tamarae sp.nov.,is described from Rhynchocypris percnura mantschurica caught in the Syumnyur River(Amur River basin,Russia).This parasite species differs from all other congeners in the distribution of the vitelline follicles(restricted to the hindbody)and the morphology of the ventral sucker(strongly protuberant).Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on 28S rRNA gene sequences and the morphological analysis allow to tentatively assign the new species to the genus Sphaerostoma,without closing the question regarding the true genus affiliation of this species.In addition,the authors provide an argument for renaming the Plagioporinae to the Sphaerostomatinae.
