A New Species

The classification of the superfamily Psylloidea is revised to incorporate findings from recent molecular studies, and to integrate a reassessment of monophyla primarily based on molecular data with morphological evidence and previous classifications. We incorporate a reinterpretation of relevant morphology in the light of the molecular findings and discuss conflicts with respect to different data sources and sampling strategies. Seven families are recognised of which four (Calophyidae, Carsidaridae, Mastigimatidae and Triozidae) are strongly supported, and three (Aphalaridae, Liviidae and Psyllidae) weakly or moderately supported. Although the revised classification is mostly similar to those recognised by recent authors, there are some notable differences, such as Diaphorina and Katacephala which are transferred from Liviidae to Psyllidae. Five new subfamilies and one new genus are described, and one secondary homonym is replaced by a new species name. A new or revised status is proposed for one family, four subfamilies, four tribes, seven subtribes and five genera. One tribe and eight genera / subgenera are synonymised, and 32 new and six revised species combinations are proposed. All recognised genera of Psylloidea (extant and fossil) are assigned to family level taxa, except for one which is considered a nomen dubium.

Abstract— The generic classification of the Thelypteridaceae has been the subject of much controversy. Proposed taxonomic systems have varied from recognizing the approximately 1200 species in the family within the single genus Thelypteris, to systems favoring upwards of 30 genera. Insights on intrafamilial relationships, especially for neotropical taxa, have been gained from recent phylogenetic studies; however, in the most recent classification, 10 of 30 recognized genera are either non-monophyletic or untested. We sequenced 407 nuclear loci for 621 samples, representing all recognized genera and approximately half the known species diversity. These were analyzed using both maximum likelihood analysis of a concatenated matrix and multi-species coalescent methods. Our phylogenomic results, informed by recently published morphological evidence, provide the foundation for a generic classification which recircumscribed 14 genera and recognized seven new genera. The 37 monophyletic genera sampled demonstrate greater geographic coherence than previous taxonomic concepts suggested. Additionally, our results demonstrate that certain morphological characters, such as frond division, are evolutionarily labile and are thus inadequate for defining genera.

The checklist of the New World Melolonthinae published in 2003 by Evans is updated to 30 June 2005. Corrections and omissions to the previous checklist are also noted and necessary taxonomic changes are made. Melolontha elongata Fabricius, 1792 is designated as the type species of Philochloenia Dejean, 1833, syn. nov. thereby placing this genus as a junior synonym of Dichelonyx Harris, 1827. Phyllophaga guatemalica (Moser, 1918), syn. nov. and Phyllophaga longiclava (Moser, 1918), syn. nov. are placed in synonymy with Phyllophaga ravida (Blanchard, 1851). The Australian genus Deuterocaulobius Dalla Torre, 1912, stat. nov. is brought out of synonymy and considered the valid name for “Phyllochlaenia Blanchard, 1846.” Warwickia, nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for the junior homonym Benedictia Sanderson, 1939 (non Dybowski, 1875) and consequently, Warwickia pilosa (Sanderson, 1939), comb. nov. is a new combination for the single species in this genus. A brief overview of the tribal classification of Melolonthinae is presented.

Abstract Introduction: The revised 2016 WHO classification of MDS has highlighted the value of morphologic evaluation and mutation analysis of bone marrow (BM)/ peripheral blood (PB) to further refine prognostication. These highlights include: (1) increased emphasis on lineage dysplasia compared with cytopenias; (2) objective enumeration of blast % for reproducibility; (3) accurate quantification of ring sideroblasts (RS); and (4) mutation analysis for SF3B1 in cases showing RS >5% and TP53 in MDS with isolated del(5q). Most of the proposed changes are within the categories of low-grade MDS. In this study, we evaluated 264 cases of MDS with diploid karyotype using the 2016 WHO system. Methods: We selected consecutive cases of MDS with diploid karyotype with BM morphological evidence of dysplasia and reclassified using the 2016 WHO system. Mutation analysis for SF3B1 (exons 14 and 15), SRSF2 (exon 1) and U2AF1 (exons 2 and 6) was performed using Sanger sequencing. Patient data were collected from the medical record. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate OS and time-to-AML transformation. The associations between outcome and clinical and pathological parameters were determined using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results: The study group included 264 MDS patients: 168 (64%) men and 96 (36%) women with a median age of 66.9 years (range, 28.3 - 89.1). The median hemoglobin, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), platelet count, and white blood cell (WBC) count were 10.0 g/dL, 1.9 x 109/L, 114.5 x 109/L, and 3.5 x 109/L, respectively. The median BM blast percentage was 2.5; 74% of the patients had < 5% BM blasts. MDS sub-classification according to the 2008 WHO classification was: RCUD, n=5 (2%); RA, n=9 (3%); RARS, n=16 (6%); RCMD, n=152 (58%); RAEB-1, n=56 (21%); RAEB-2, n=20 (8%), and MDS-U, n=6 (2%). Reclassification using the 2016 WHO classification: MDS with single lineage dysplasia (MDS-SLD, n=14, 5%), MDS with multi-lineage dysplasia (MDS-MLD, n=112, 42%), MDS with RS (including single lineage and multi-lineage dysplasia, MDS-RS, n=56, 21%); MDS-EB1, n=56 (21%), MDS-EB2, n=20 (8%) and MDS-U, n=6 (2%). Grading of fibrosis using reticulin/ trichrome stains showed absent-minimal fibrosis (grades 0-1) in 56/85 (66%) and moderate-severe fibrosis (2-3) in 29/85 (34%) cases. Mutation analysis for splicing factors was performed on 15 cases. Ten cases with 0-5% RS showed 2 cases each with SRSF2 and U2AF1 mutations. No cases had SF3B1 mutation. 5 cases with >5% RS showed SF3B1 mutations in 4 cases and 1 case each with SRSF2 and U2AF1 mutations. Over a median follow-up duration of 22.4 months (range, 0-156.8), 128 (48%) patients died. The median OS was 46.1 months (95% CI: 32.3, 58.4). Patients categorized as MDS-SLD by 2016 WHO had the best OS (156.8 months), followed by MDS-RS (58.7 months), MDS-MLD (46.3 months) and MDS-EB (21.2 months) (p<0.001). Older age, lower hemoglobin, lower ANC, lower platelet count, ≥5% BM blasts, MDS-EB1 and MDS-EB2 by 2016 WHO were significantly associated with worse OS (≤0.044). Accounting for all significant measures, age, hemoglobin, MDS-EB1 and MDS-EB2 remained significantly associated with OS.Sixteen patients transformed to AML; the median time-to-AML transformation was not reached; 5-year AML transformation rate was 88%. Patients with ≥ 5% BM blasts (p=0.056) and older age (p=0.063) tended to have a higher AML transformation rate. Conclusions: Morphological evaluation of BM/PB (for dysplasia, % BM blasts and RS) provides additional prognostic value and continues to be a critical component for evaluation of MDS patients. Molecular studies for splicing factor mutations are ongoing on all samples with >1% RS. Figure Figure.

AbstractThe tribal classification of Derbidae with respect to Otiocerini is presented and discussed. Key to extant and fossil genera of Otiocerini is provided. New genus and species from Eocene Baltic amber – Lugeilangor elektrokleistis gen. n. et sp. n. of Derbidae tribe Otiocerini Muir is described. It seems to be related to the extant Asian-Pacific genera Paralyricen Muir, 1913, and Flaccia Stål, 1866. It is the second record of the family Derbidae in Eocene Baltic amber inclusions. Palaeobiological and biogeographical significance of the fossil is discussed.

The stridulations of eight sample populations of Teleogryllus commodus servillei (Saussure) and T. oceanicus (Le Guillou) were recorded and analyzed. Sokal's "distance coefficient" formula was used to derive a phenetic classification of the populations. The analysis indicates the same relationships as were previously indicated, by Chen et al. (1967) on morphological evidence, and by Lim et al. (1969) on cytological study.

AbstractThe classification of the Aphrodinae is reviewed. The subfamily is redefined to include the Deltocephalinae (“Euscelidae”) and Hecalinae, and nine tribes are recognized: Eupelecini, Paradorydiini, Stirellini, Paraboloponini, Aphrodini, Krisnini, Selenocephalini, Hecalini, and Deltocephalini. The tribe Aphrodini is divided into six subtribes: Doraturina, Achaeticina, Anoterostemmina, Neobalina, Aphrodina, and Xestocephalina. The tribe Deltocephalini is divided into six subtribes: Deltocephalina, Athysanina, Cicadulina, Macrostelina, Platymetopiina, and Cochlorhinina. Keys are provided to the tribes and subtribes, and the Holarctic taxa are defined, with their Holarctic genera listed under each.

Lejeuneaceae are the largest family of the liverworts with at least one thousand species in 68 currently accepted genera. The number of genera is much lower than accepted previously and was reduced based on recent molecular work. This paper present a first classification of Lejeuneaceae based on integrated molecular-phylogenetic and morphological evidence. The family is subdivided into two broad subfamilies, Ptychanthoideae (19 genera) and Lejeuneoideae (49 genera). Ptychanthoideae are not further subdivided whereas Lejeuneoideae are classified into three tribes: Brachiolejeuneeae (8 genera), Symbiezidieae (new; 1 genus) and Lejeuneeae (40 genera). Lejeuneeae, the largest tribe in the family, are classified into eight subtribes: Ceratolejeuneinae (2 genera), Cheilolejeuneinae (4 genera), Cololejeuneinae (12 genera), Cyclolejeuneinae (3 genera), Drepanolejeuneinae (2 genera), Echinolejeuneinae (3 genera), Lejeuneinae (5 genera) and Lepidolejeuneinae (2 genera). Seven genera of Lejeuneeae have not yet been studied by molecular methods and are not classified.

This taxonomic catalogue covers all family-, genusand species-group names of the Palaearctic bees of the tribe Osmiini as published by the end of 2006. As the taxonomy of the Palaearctic Osmiini is currently in a poor state, the primary goal of this catalogue is to provide a complete coverage of the widely dispersed and often not easily accessible taxonomic literature, thus laying the basis for further taxonomic work. We therefore refrain from proposing new synonyms, new names, new ranks or new combinations, and the taxa accepted here are based on a literature survey, generally adopting the most recent published opinion. The generic and subgeneric system proposed by Michener (2000) serves as a general backbone for this catalogue. We list six available family-group names, 93 available genus-group names and 935 available species-group names that currently split up into the valid names of two subtribes, 13 genera, 43 non-nominotypical subgenera, 604 species and 76 non-nominotypical subspecies. Starting with Linnaeus (1758), a total of 99 mainly European taxonomists contributed to the available species-group names by the end of 2006. Taxon accounts provide the reference to the original description, the name-bearing type(s), distribution, and literature sources for species identification. Apart from the extant taxa the catalogue also treats the extinct representatives of the osmiine bees following the tribal classification of Engel (2005).
