A New Species

At present, Pseudoliparis Finet (1907: 536) includes about 44 species, but nearly a quarter of these have been described relatively recently. The species of Pseudoliparis are generally poorly known and represented in herbaria and liquid collections. Many species are still known from only a few specimens or just the type-collection/protologue (e.g. especially some of Schlechter’s species). Their distribution also contributes to making them poorly known: tropical regions of Southeast Asia through Micronesia, especially New Guinea and the surrounding islands. Knowledge of their ecology, phenology and occurrence is limited as well. However, recent research clearly shows that their floral morphology and coloration and records about their olfactory characteristics are adaptations to specific pollinators, probably small Diptera or Hymenoptera, which promote reproductive their isolation.

A New Species

The Flores Island is a part of the East Nusa Tenggara Group belonging to the Lesser Sunda Archipelago. The Lepidoptera fauna of this remote island comprises two species of the genus Amerila Walker, 1855, i.e. Amerila astreus (Drury, 1773) and Amerila rosenfeldae sp. nov. The first species is widespread from India and Southeast Asia to New Guinea, while the latter taxon appears to represent a lineage endemic to Flores.

The genus Rapisma McLachlan, 1866 (montane lacewings) is a rare and little known group of the family Ithonidae (Insecta: Neuroptera). There have been 21 described species of Rapisma, and all of them are distributed from East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Here I report a new species of Rapisma from northwestern Yunnan, China, namely Rapisma weixiense sp. nov. The new species belongs to a group of Rapisma species with very short antennae.

A New Species

Heminicsara Karny, 1912 is a katydid genus of Agraeciini from the Axylus genus group. It currently comprises 62 species from mainly New Guinea and surrounding archipelagos. Based on recent fieldwork in Lobo in West Papua, Indonesia, a new species of Heminicsara is described here: Heminicsara incrassata sp. nov. It is most readily characterised from congeners and other species of the Axylus genus group by the male tenth abdominal tergite forming a large shield-shaped plate. This represents the first species of Heminicsara described and known from the south-west of New Guinea.

A New Species

Zatypota albicoxa (Walker) is newly recorded from Mt. Merapi, Java Is., Indonesia. This is the first record of Z. albicoxa from this part of the Oriental region and from the Southern Hemisphere, and the first record of the genus Zatypota from Southeast Asia. The Indonesian population of Z. albicoxa attacks a theridiid spider of the genus Parasteatoda, as do populations of Z. albicoxa in other regions. The spider is a new species, and is described under the name of Parasteatoda merapiensis.
