A New Species

The Australian species of Exorista Meigen are revised and the genus redescribed from these species. E. auriceps Macquart is confirmed as a synonym of E.flaviceps Macquart, and E. mungomeryi (Baranov) is synonymized with E. curriei (Curran). E. quadriseta (Baranov) is recorded from Australia for the first time. A new species is described below as E. norrisi, but five other species are left unnamed until further material is available. A key to the 14 species known in Australia is provided. Knowledge of the remaining seven genera of Exoristini in Australia is insufficient for their detailed treatment but pertinent comments on each are given. The presence of Phorinia Robineau-Desvoidy in Australia is confirmed. A partial list of the distinguishing features of the Exoristini is included.

A New Species

Since the first faunistic study of the Pipunculidae (Diptera) of mainland France in 2006, new material from 37 natural sites and four private collections has been evaluated by the authors of this article. A total of 5739 specimens of Pipunculidae collected in France were examined, of which 5214 were identified to species by the authors, for a total of 114 species. DNA analyses were also carried out on some specimens to confirm their morphological identifications. The list of Pipunculidae recorded in mainland France is updated to include 140 species. Tomosvaryella estebani sp. nov. is described from material collected in France and Italy. Twenty-four species are also reported for the first time from France. The records of Cephalops (Semicephalops) carinatus (Verrall, 1901), Cephalosphaera (Cephalosphaera) furcata (Egger, 1860), Eudorylas terminalis (Thomson, 1870) and Jassidophaga villosa (Roser, 1840), without precise data in the literature, are now precisely located in France with this work. For the other species, we provide new post-2006 records.

A cladistic analysis of the genus Melanophora Meigen, 1803 (type-species: Musca grossificationis Linnaeus, 1758 [= Musca roralis Linnaeus, 1758]) is presented and the generic delimitation is critically redefined. The nominal genus-group taxon Bequaertiana Curran, 1929 (type-species: Bequaertiana argyriventris Curran, 1929) is synonymised with Melanophora Meigen syn. nov. The following new combinations are proposed: Melanophora argyriventris (Curran, 1929) comb. nov. and Melanophora basilewskyi (Peris, 1957) comb. nov. Melanophora chia sp. nov. from SW Sardinia is described, illustrated and compared with the other known species of the genus. The male of Melanophora asetosa Kugler, 1978 is described for the first time. Melanophora basilewskyi (Peris, 1957) is recorded from Kenya for the first time.

A new species of Darwin wasp of the genus Dicamptus Szépligeti (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ophioninae), D. curvus Pham, Matsumoto & Shimizu sp. nov., is described on the basis of type specimen from Lai Chau Province, northwest Vietnam. The new species probably belongs to the giganteus species group and is easily distinguishable from the other species of the group by the smaller indices of fore wing AI and CI as well as the form of sclerites. Two species, D. cantoni Gauld & Mitchell and D. reticulatus (Cameron), are recorded for the first time from Vietnam; and additional distribution records for D. nigropictus (Matsumura) in Vietnam are provided. Through the present study, a total of four Dicamptus species have been recognized in Vietnam and illustrated.

We report a new species of Spermophilus ( Rodentia: Sciuridae), here designated as S. torosensis sp. nov., distributed in the Taurus Mountains in southern Anatolia, Turkey. A total of 161 specimens of the genus Spermophilus from Turkey and Iran were analyzed for their morphological, morphometric, and karyological characteristics. Uni- and multi-variate statistical analyses of morphologic data for 95 adult specimens yielded 4 distinct groups. Taxonomic evaluations classified the specimens into 4 species Spermophilus citellus, S. xanthopymnus, S. fulvus and S. torosensis sp. nov. Morphometrics, coat coloration, a brush-shaped tail, and a NFa value of 72 are diagnostic characters that distinguish S. torosensis sp. nov. from the other species. In Turkey, S. torosensis sp. nov. was found in 6 locations. The karyotype of S. fulvus also is described for the first time as 2n= 36, NFa= 70 and NFa= 66; new karyotypic data is reported for S. xanthoprymnus from Iran and Turkey.

Eight species of Philocheras (Crustacea: Caridea: Crangonidae) are reported from the Northwest Shelf of Western Australia. One species is new to science Philocheras anthonyi sp. nov. Five species are reported for the first time from Australian waters, P. angustirostris (De Man, 1918), P. incisus (Kemp, 1916), P. japonicus (Doflein, 1902), P. modestus (De Man, 1918) and P. plebs (Kemp, 1916). A range extension within Australia is reported for Philocheras lowisi (Kemp, 1916) and P. planoculminus Bruce, 1994. These records expand the number of Philocheras species previously recorded from Australian waters from ten to 16. A revised key and illustrated guide to the species from Australia is provided.

The Australian species of Carcelia Robineau-Desvoidy are revised and the genus redescribed. C. noctuae (Curran) is confirmed as a synonym of C. illota (Curran). The subgenera Carceliella Baranov, Catacarcelia Townsend and Euryclea Robineau-Desvoidy also C.s.s. malayana Baranov are recorded from Australia for the first time. Twelve new species are described but 15 other species are left unnamed until further material is available. The new species are: actaeosa; burnsi; candens; capyrosa; flavitibia; hackeri; kindaitchin; paluma; pesitra;prominens; talwurrapin; and vicinalis. Keys to the genera of Australian Carceliini and to subgenera (five) and species (32) of Carcelia are provided; the key to species of Catacarcelia includes both Australian and Oriental species. The first-instar larva of C. hardyi (Curran) is briefly described. Knowledge of the remaining genera of Australian Carceliini is insufficient for their detailed treatment but pertinent comments on each are given. Thecocarcelia Townsend and Argyrothelaira froggattii Townsend are recorded for the first time from Australia. A diagnosis of the tribe is also given.

A species of the genus Amorphinopsis is described for the first time for the Atlantic Ocean. The new species was described based on the study of 25 specimens, collected in the area of the São Sebastião Channel and its environs (northern sector of São Paulo State coastline) and in the Cabo Frio region (Rio de Janeiro State). The form is massive cushion-shaped, lobate, occasionally encrusting. The megascleres are styles [160–260 (N=20)/5–10 (N=10) μm; length/thickness] and oxeas [150–900 (N=100)/5–18 (N=20) μm]. Amorphinopsis atlantica sp. nov. differs from the other species of Amorphinopsis by its colour, dark-greyish-green with or without yellow tinges on the exposed surface, and the smaller size of its oxeas. Amorphinopsis excavans is the closest species to the Brazilian material, but can still be set apart by a series of smaller traits, such as oxeas and styles never overlapping (the smaller oxea is always larger than the larger style).

A new species of the genus Cypselosoma Hendel is described, in both the adult and immature stages. This constitutes the first record of the family Cypselosomatidae in Australia. Notes on the family, generic, and specific characters are given with keys to aid identification. The ecology of the new species is discussed and some adaptions necessary to survival in its environment are pointed out. The known distribution of the cypselosomatid genera Cypselosoma and Formicosepsis is given, and the latter recorded from New Guinea for the first time. The relationships of the families Micropezidae and Neriidae are discussed in the light of knowledge gained from the more primitive Cypselosomatidae. It is concluded that the superfamily Micropezoidea should include the following families : Pseudopomyzidae, Cypselosomatidae, Neriidae, Micropezidae, and Megamerinidae. Protoborborus Malloch and Heluscolia Harrison are mentioned as new synonyms of Pseudopomyza Strobl. The genus Heloclusia Malloch is transferred from the Heleomyzidae to the Pseudopomyzidae.
