The Past

Classifications proposed in the past are reviewed, the male and female genitalia described in some detail, and the relationships which they indicate found to agree with those suggested by the known larvae and pupae. Parallel evidence from external characters of the adults is partly obscured by convergent evolution between the subfamilies. Pelecorhynchus, Bequaertomyia, and Heterostomus are excluded from the Tabanidae. The genera of Pangoniinae are defined. The following cannot be placed from descriptions: Palaearctic - Scaptiella End. ; spp. described as Corizoneura. Nearctic - Zophina Philip. Neotropical- Leptofidena Krob. The suggested arrangement of the remaining genera is as follows, those placed tentatively from descriptions being indicated by an interrogation mark. PANGONIINI Palaearctic - Pangonius Latr., with possible subgenera Pangonius Latr., Tanyglossa Mg., and ?Ectinocerella Seg.

AbstractA redefinition and taxonomic revision is given of the genus Lydda. Twenty-one species are attributed to this genus occurring in New Guinea and northern Australia. The zoraidine genera with short antennae are keyed and all Lydda species are keyed and redescribed with emphasis on the male and female genitalia. Four species are described as new: Lydda perlucida, L. guttata, L. cornuta and L. fusca; 16 species are transferred from Proutista to Lydda given 16 new combinations. P. awarensis Van Stalle, 1986 is synonymized with L. gemina Muir, 1913. Arfaka Distant, 1907 and Afakia Kirkaldy, 1909, former synonyms of Proutista are now considered as synonyms of Lydda. The Afrotropical species attributed to Lydda are transferred to Diostrombus, new subgenus Lyddastrombus, giving seven more new combinations. Proutista jezeki Dlabola, 1979 and P. jezeki Dlabola, 1981 are transferred to Diostrombus s. str., giving D. jezeki (Dlabola) comb. n. and D. adila (Dlabola) comb. n. A lectotype is selected for Lydda elongata, Lydda perkinsi, L. lutea, L. lurida, L. decisa, L. straminea, L. lumholtzi, L. australis, L. gemina, L. koebelei, L. calypso and Philadelpheia pandani. Diostrombus muiri nom. n. is proposed for D. cocos Muir, 1928, a secondary junior homonym of D. cocos (Muir, 1926) comb. n.

The New Zealand species of marsh beetles Atopida dorsale Broun, 1893 and Atopida testacea Broun, 1880 share several features that differentiate them from other members of Atopida White. Analysis of morphological characters and the structural anatomy of the genitalia justified the description of a new genus to accommodate these two species. Sensory structures of the apical maxillary palpomere are described for the first time in Scirtidae. The presence of lacinial hooks in Scirtidae is discussed. Morphology of female prehensors is described and observations of male and female genitalia during copulation are discussed. Lectotypes of both species are designated.

AbstractThe taro-feeding delphacid genus Tarophagus is revised. Three species are recognized: T. colocasiae (Matsumura) stat. rev. & comb. n. with which T. proserpina taiwanensis Wilson is synonymized; T. persephone (Kirkaldy) with which T. proserpinoides (Muir) and T. proserpina australis Fennah are synonymized; and T. prosperpina (Kirkaldy). The three species are separated by characters of the male and female genitalia, and each has a different distribution in Asia and the Pacific. Only in Papua New Guinea are all three species sympatric. Earlier studies on biology and pest status are reviewed in the light of these investigations.

Lepidoptera Noctuidae

Persectania ewingii (Westwood) is one of the more important armyworms in southern Australia and Tasmania. Conflicting information about its ,ecology in Tasmania and Western Australia has led to a critical examination of the identity of specimens referred to this species from various parts of its reputed range. It is shown that a second species, P. dyscrita, sp. nov., which is apparently restricted to areas of southern Australia with a low summer rainfall, has previously been confused with P. ewingii. In New Zealand, a third distinct species, P. acema (Walker), has been misidentified as P. ewingii. P. ewingii and P. dyscrita are confined to Australia, and P. aversa to New Zealand. The male and female genitalia of the three species are figured and a key to the two Australian species is provided.

Nine new species of Ottistira Pascoe (O. arfakensis Riedel, O. ascendens Riedel, O. dani Riedel, O. longispina Riedel, O. obrienorum Riedel, O. paniaiensis Riedel, O. robusta Riedel, O. telefominensis Riedel, O. tumidirostris Riedel) are described from the highlands of New Guinea. They form a monophyletic group and can be diagnosed by their possession of both lateral humeral flanges and median elytral spines. Male genitalia offer good characters for separation of species, especially when the endophallus is everted. A key to the species is included. Habitus photographs and illustrations of male and female genitalia for all species are provided.

AbstractA new species group of Euops Schoenherr is described from the highlands of New Guinea and is referred to as the 'spinosus-group'. The included species can be readily identified by the conspicuous spines on the posterior part of the elytral humeri. The group contains ten new species : E. aculeatus sp. n., E. armatus sp. n., E. gressitti sp. n., E. monstruosus sp. n., E. paniaiensis sp. n., E. paraspinosus sp. n., E. pseudomonstruosus sp. n., E. spinosus sp. n., E. yali sp. n., and E. zimmermanni sp. n. The species are described and the characters relevant for their identification, including male and female genitalia, are illustrated. A key to the species is provided. A cladistic analysis is performed, and the monophyly of the group is demonstrated.

Three species of the genus Wockia Heinemann, 1870, which are so far known in Russia are reviewed; their male and female genitalia are illustrated, and a key for identification is provided. Two species, W. koreana Sohn, 2008, and W. magna Sohn, 2014, which were recently described from East Asia, are for the first time reported from Russia. The investigation of the holotype of W. funebrella Heinemann, 1870, discovered in the collection of the Zoological Institute RAS (St Petersburg), confirmed that this species is a junior subjective synonym of W. asperipunctella (Bruand, 1851). The distribution of Palaearctic species of the genus is discussed shortly.

The Village

ABSTRACT When European colonists arrived in the late 19th century, large villages dotted the coastline of the Gulf of Papua (southern Papua New Guinea). These central places sustained long-distance exchange and decade-spanning ceremonial cycles. Besides ethnohistoric records, little is known of the villages’ antiquity, spatiality, or development. Here we combine oral traditional and 14C chronological evidence to investigate the spatial history of two ancestral village sites in Orokolo Bay: Popo and Mirimua Mapoe. A Bayesian model composed of 35 14C assays from seven excavations, alongside the oral traditional accounts, demonstrates that people lived at Popo from 765–575 cal BP until 220–40 cal BP, at which time they moved southwards to Mirimua Mapoe. The village of Popo spanned ca. 34 ha and was composed of various estates, each occupied by a different tribe. Through time, the inhabitants of Popo transformed (e.g., expanded, contracted, and shifted) the village to manage social and ceremonial priorities, long-distance exchange opportunities and changing marine environments. Ours is a crucial case study of how oral traditional ways of understanding the past interrelate with the information generated by Bayesian 14C analyses. We conclude by reflecting on the limitations, strengths, and uncertainties inherent to these forms of chronological knowledge.
