A New Species

The family of winter flies Trichoceridae is newly recorded for Mongolia. Four species, Trichocera (Metatrichocera) gigantea (Dahl), T. (M.) mackenziei (Dahl), T. (Saltrichocera) regelationis (Linnaeus) and T. (Trichocera) hiemalis (De Geer) are first recorded in Mongolia from sampling during 1996, 2003–2006, 2008. A new species, Trichocera (Saltrichocera) chuluuta, is described from specimens collected during the fieldwork of the Mongolian Aquatic Insect Survey Project in western and north-central Mongolia.

Three New Species

The Plum Brook Shale of north-central Ohio lies disconformably between the Eifelian (lower Middle Devonian) Delaware Limestone and the middle Givetian (upper Middle Devonian) Prout Dolomite. Its diverse conodont fauna indicates that it represents a transgression into the area in earliest Givetian time accompanied by the products of a notable adaptive radiation within two lineages ofIcriodus.One of these (I. expansusGroup) includesI. expansus, I. arkonensisandI. brevis, and complete intergradation of forms suggests that the group at this level involves conspecific ecotypes. A more extensive radiation involved descendants ofI. regularicrescens(I. regularicrescensGroup), including three new species,I. eriensis, I. janeaeandI. ohioensis.Other representatives of this lineage occur here as well as in strata of comparable age in the type region of the Givet Limestone as described by Bultynck (1987). A third lineage is represented byI. excavatusin both areas, but evidence of radiation within this branch is limited to the Givet Limestone. Remarkable diversity also occurs among forms considered herein to involvePolygnathus pseudofoliatusand its descendants. The existence of intermediate forms and shared characteristics between and among the various species, including some that first appeared well before the end of the Eifelian, implies that they may be conspecific ecotypic variants at this level. New morphotypes within this group are treated informally. The greatest overall diversity occurs just above the basal Plum Brook, in strata interpreted to reflect inner-sublittoral conditions. The entire Plum Brook belongs to the upperensensisZone. A considerable part of the type Givetian placed in the LowervarcusSubzone by Bultynck (1987) lies below the lowest occurrence of its index species (P. timorensis); it contains some of the species found in the Plum Brook, and much of this section may also belong to theensensisZone.

The Town

We describe three new species of poison frogs discovered on recent expeditions throughout Central Peru. Two of these were discovered from the Serranía de Contamana, a small mountain range near the town of Contamana on the Río Ucayali in Central Peru. The first of these species is similar in appearance to Ameerega petersi, but the two species differ in call and size, have allopatric distributions, and are not close relatives according to a Bayesian phylogeny. This species is also similar morphologically to A. pongoensis, although the latter lacks flash marks above the groin and has a distinct advertisement call. Our phylogenetic data suggest that this species is closely related to A. bassleri, a species which is much larger and usually possesses a brightly-colored yellow or orange dorsum. The second new species has a red dorsum and is similar in appearance to A. bassleri, A. cainarachi, and the third new species described herein, but can be distinguished by its unusual advertisement call. The third new species in this paper was discovered in the upper Huallaga Valley near the towns of Tocache and Juanjui. This species resembles certain populations of A. bassleri and the second new species (mentioned above), but can be diagnosed by its advertisement call which is significantly slower than its closest relatives; approximately one-half the speed of A. bassleri and one-quarter the speed of the second new species. Finally, we discuss the biogeography of the A. bassleri clade in light of these new discoveries. The biogeography of this clade is consistent with the disturbance-vicariance hypothesis, and climatic fluctuations were likely a major driver in the divergence and speciation of this group. We also present a phylogeny with increased sampling in the A. petersi clade and discuss the taxonomy of the group.

Three New Species

Elmidae is one of the most diverse families of aquatic beetles, with more than 1500 species in 151 genera. The Neotropical genus Portelmis formerly comprised five species known from Central and northern South America, divided into two species groups. Three new Brazilian species from the nevermanni group are described and illustrated here: Portelmis vanini sp. nov., Portelmis krolowi sp. nov. and Portelmis fusariae sp. nov. New species records for the North, Central-West and Southeast of Brazil are presented. We also provide first SEM images and an updated key for Portelmis species.

Three New Species

Abstract The fauna of bristletails of the genus Lepismachilis Verhoeff, 1910 in Montenegro and Serbia includes only one species L. (Berlesilis) targionii (Grassi, 1887) with 2 + 2 eversible vesicles on abdominal urocoxites II–VI. Three new species of this genus are described: L. (Lepismachilis) prijepolja sp. nov., L. (Lepismachilis) limensa sp. nov. from Serbia, and L. (Lepismachilis) alexandrae sp. nov. from Montenegro. All described new species belong to the species group of the subgenus Lepismachilis s. str. with 2 + 2 eversible vesicles on abdominal urocoxites II–V. Lepismachilis prijepolja sp. nov. differs from L. y-signata Kratochvíl, 1945 and L. notata Stach, 1919 by the color, drawings and ratios of the compound eyes; ratios of sensory field on fore femur of male, number of divisions of ovipositor. Lepismachilis limensa sp. nov. differs from L. hauseri Bitsch, 1974 and L. abchasica Kaplin, 2017 by ratios of paired ocelli, sensory field on fore femur of male; ratios and chaetotaxy of maxillary and labial palps. Lepismachilis alexandrae sp. nov. differs from L. abchasica by the drawings of the compound eyes; ratios of paired ocelli, sensory field on fore femur of male; number of divisions of the parameres and gonapophyses. A list of the Machilidae occurring in Balkan Peninsula is also provided.

Some 2,000 Ptiliidae collected in the North and South Islands of New Zealand in 1983/1984 by Peter Hammond of the Natural History Museum, London, are determined to 34 species, four of which are new to the country. As there are very few previous records, most from the Auckland district of North Island, the Hammond collection provides much new distributional data. The three new species: Nellosana insperatus sp. n., Notoptenidium flavum sp. n., and Notoptenidium johnsoni sp. n., are described and figured; the genus Ptiliodes is moved from Acrotrichinae to Ptiliinae, and Ptenidium formicetorum Kraatz recorded as a new introduction. Information is provided to aid separation of the new species from those previously recorded.
