Gryllodes Sigillatus

Faguagryllus luteolus n. gen. et n. sp., from the Colombian Atlantic coast is described and illustrated. The relation with the genera Miogryllus Saussure, 1877 and Kazuemba Mello, 1990 is discussed; as well as their inclusion in Modicogryllini. Gryllodes sigillatus is reported for Colombia, with distribution data of the examined specimens, and the allocation of figures of Gryllodes species in Otte 2006 is corrected.

Species Descriptions

Chondrocyclus Ancey, 1898 is a genus of nine species of African operculate land snails restricted to indigenous forest and mesic thicket. Worn specimens (i.e., without a periostracum or operculum), on which some species descriptions and records were based, appear to be indistinguishable morphologically. A comprehensive revision of Chondrocyclus s.l. is provided here based on comparative morphological examinations of the shell, protoconch, periostracum, operculum, radula and penis, and on mitochondrial genes cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S rRNA. Two genus-level lineages are recognised, Chondrocyclus s.s. and Afrocyclus gen. nov. Revised species descriptions are given for seven species. Two species, C. meredithae Bruggen, 1983 and C. chirindae Bruggen, 1986 both from north of South Africa, are removed from Chondrocyclus. Twelve new species are described: C. herberti sp. nov., C. silvicolus sp. nov., C. amathole sp. nov., C. pondoensis sp. nov., C. devilliersi sp. nov., C. pulcherrimus sp. nov., C. cooperae sp. nov., C. langebergensis sp. nov., C. kevincolei sp. nov., A. oxygala gen. et sp. nov., A. potteri gen. et sp. nov. and A. bhaca gen. et sp. nov. This is the first detailed systematic revision of an Afrotropical cyclophorid group to include morphological and molecular data. This study complements research on other taxa of low-vagility forest-dwelling habitat specialists by providing comparative distribution data for an independent, widespread group. Such evidence is urgently needed for conservation of South Africa’s threatened forest biome.

First Time

A taxonomic revision of the tribe Ceroptresini (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) is conducted for the first time. Prior to this study, the total number of valid species of Ceroptres, the only genus within Ceroptresini to date, was 23. As a result of this revision, 15 Ceroptres species are retained as valid and one species, Amblynotus ensiger Walsh, 1864, is desynonymized from Ceroptres petiolicola (Osten-Sacken, 1861), being considered here as a valid Ceroptres species: C. ensiger (Walsh, 1864) status verified and comb. nov. An additional five new species are described from Mexico: Ceroptres junquerasi Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar sp. nov.; C. lenis Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar sp. nov.; C. mexicanus Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar sp. nov.; C. nigricrus Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar sp. nov.; C. quadratifacies Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar sp. nov., increasing the total number of valid Ceroptres species to 21. Ceroptres masudai Abe, 1997 is synonymized with C. kovalevi Belizin, 1973. Ceroptres niger Fullaway, 1911 is transferred to Andricus (Andricus confusus Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar comb. nov. and nom. nov.). Five species (Amblynotus inermis Walsh, 1864; Cynips quercusarbos Fitch, 1859; Cynips querficus Fitch, 1859; Cynips quercuspisum Fitch, 1859; and Cynips quercustuber Fitch, 1859) are not considered as valid Ceroptres. The status of Ceroptres quereicola (Shinji, 1938), previously classified as an unplaced species, is commented on. In addition, a Nearctic species from the USA, Ceroptres politus Ashmead, 1896, is here proposed as the type species of a new genus within Ceroptresini: Buffingtonella Lobato-Vila & Pujade-Villar gen. nov. Redescriptions, biological and distribution data, illustrations and keys to genera and species within Ceroptresini are provided. The diagnostic morphological traits of Ceroptresini, Ceroptres and the new genus are discussed.

A New Species

Curupirina papuana sp. n. and an unnamed species of a probably new genus of Apistomyiini (Diptera : Blephariceridae) are described from the Ok Tedi, a tributary of the Fly River, Papua New Guinea. This is the first report of the family from the island; its zoogeographical significance is discussed with reference to the long-presumed role of the island in the evolution and dispersal of the tribe Apistomyiini.

Two New Species

Cecidological and taxonomic investigations of members of the aphid tribe Nipponaphidini (Aphididae: Hormaphidinae) are proceeding very slowly owing to the rarity of galls and difficulty in distinguishing morphologies. We describe here two new Nipponaphidini species that induce galls on the primary host, Distylium racemosum Siebold & Zucc. (Isu tree, Hamamelidaceae), from Taiwan. One is designated Monzenia minuta sp. n. which induces a closed spherical gall on twigs of D. racemosum. The other one is designated as a new genus, Tripartita gen. n., and new species, formosana sp. n. which can induce open, spindle-like galls on leaves of D. racemosum and also on leaves of Distyliopsis dunnii (J.H.Hemsl.) Endress (Hamamelidaceae). This is the first report of the same hormaphidine aphid species inducing galls on two distinct primary hosts. Here we provide morphological diagnoses and cecidological information for both new species.

We describe a new genus, Manitischeria Diškus & Stonis, gen. nov., and five new species: Manitischeria selindica Stonis & Diškus, sp. nov., M. namibiensis Stonis & Diškus, sp. nov. from Africa, and M. brachiata Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov., M. symbolica Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov., and M. baryshnikovae Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov. from South East Asia. We discuss the diagnostics of Manitischeria gen. nov. composed of these new species and others transferred from Tischeria Zeller. Species are mostly trophically associated with Malvaceae, but also Rhamnaceae and Betulaceae. We list 18 currently known species of Manitischeria gen. nov., including M. ptarmica (Meyrick), the type species, and provide 13 new combinations and the first documentation of genitalia of some, previously little-known species. New species are illustrated with photographs or drawings of the adults, genitalia, and the leaf mines when available. We briefly discuss the use of herbarium specimens to discover lepidopteran leaf mines, host plant, and distribution data.

Abstract. Saensouk P, Saensouk S. 2021. Short Communication: Taxonomy and the first report for pollen and leaf surfaces anatomy of the genus Enkleia (Thymelaeaceae) in Thailand. Biodiversitas 22: 1340-1344. Taxonomic of the genus Enkleia in Thailand are revised. Two species, Enkleia malaccensis Griff. and E. thorelii (Lecomte) Nevling, are reported. Enkleia siamensis (Kurz) Nevling and E. siamensis (Kurz) Nevling subsp. andamanica (Hutch. Ex C. E. Parkinson) Nevling are reduced to Enkleia malaccensis Griff.. Therefore, both species are recorded as synonym of E. malaccensis. E. thorelii is reported endemic to Thailand. Vernacular name, distribution data, ecological data, flowering period, fruiting period, conservation status, traditional use of this genus are provided. The pollen and leaf surfaces of the genus are examined and the first studied.
