A New Species

AbstractThe larva, adult female, and adult male of Chrysomelobia labidomerae n. sp. are described. The adult female is compared with that of the only other described species in the genus, C. mahunkai from Europe. Chrysomelobia labidomerae is a parasite of adult milkweed leaf beetles, Labidomera clivicollis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), in North America. Morphological similarities of all stages of Chrysomelobia with those of the generalized podapolipid Dorsipes support the retention of Chrysomelobia in the Podapolipidae as a most primitive genus in that family and the only one with 4 pairs of legs in the adult female.

A New Species

A remarkable new species, Odonteus gandhara Carpaneto & Mignani, n. sp., is described from northern Pakistan. The holotype (adult male) and the paratype (adult female) are illustrated and compared with O. armiger (Scopoli, 1772) and O. orientalis Mittal, 1998, the only two species of this genus recognized in the Old World. Both O. armiger and O. orientalis have the eye not completely divided by the canthus and have a sensory area on the external side of the last antennomere (this character has never been discussed in the literature until now). These two character states in O. armiger and O. orientalis compel emendations to the definition of the genus. The new species has a great zoogeographical relevance because similar species occur in North America (O. obesus LeConte, 1859 and O. falli Wallis, 1928), and probably represents a relict species endemic to the Himalayan range.

AbstractMorphological comparison of populations of Chironomus (Camptochironomus) tentans (Fabricius) from Europe, Asia and North America has confirmed earlier cytogenetic evidence that two distinct species inhabit the Palearctic and the Nearctic under this name. The Palearctic species is the true C. tentans, whereas Nearctic populations constitute a new species described here under the name Chironomus (Camptochironomus) dilutus. Descriptions of the larva, pupa and adult male of both species are presented, and the taxonomic structure of the subgenus Camptochironomus is examined.

Abstract A new species of the genus Hydro baenus Fries, 1830, H. simferopolus sp. nov. (Diptera: Chironomidae: Orthocladiinae), is described based on adult male collected in the Crimean Penisula (Ukraine). Main distinguishing characters are: anal point cup-shaped with a small nose-like apex; virga composed of 3 strong equal spines; inferior volsella consisting of 2 lobes (proximal one broadly planned and covered with curved setae, distal one large nose-like and bare). A new combination of Parorthocladius korneyevi Baranov, 2011 for H. korneyevi (Baranov, 2011) comb. nov. is provided with additional differentiating characters found in male adult including: tergite IX with a median dorsal crest; anal point long, drop-like, covered with setae and ending with thumb-shaped apex; virga composed of 6–8 subequal thin long spines; inferior volsella with 2 unequal lobes (proximal one spherical and much larger); gonostylus massively bulbous and densely covered with long and short setae, crista dorsalis consists of a subapical strong tooth-like, smooth and orally projecting ridge. The male adults of both H. dentistylus Moubayed, 1985 and H. lugubris Fries, 1830 are also illustrated, diagnosed and shortly redescribed with some main distinguishing and supplementary characters. Remarks and comments on the taxonomic position, ecology and geographical distribution of the four Hydrobaenus species are given.

AbstractA new Tetradactylus from Udzungwa Mountains is described on the basis of one adult male and one adult female. The species has tridactyle forelimbs with the longest toes bearing four scales, didactyle hind limbs, 14 dorsal longitudinal row scales, four femoral pores and frontoparietals in broad contact. This combination of morphological characters distinguishes the species from the similar T. eastwoodae, a South African endemic. The new species has smooth head scales, six ventral rows, and the male possess on either side of the vent a prominent claw-like scale lacking in the female. The species has been found in swampy montane grasslands at about 1880 m. It is syntopic with three other specialised grass lizards: Ellenberger's long-tailed Seps (Tetradactylus ellenbergeri), Zambian grass lizard (Cordylus macrolepis), and the Grass-top skink (Mabuya megalura).

Eusimulium (Hellichiella) usovae n.sp. is described in the larva, pupa, and adult female and male. The larva, pupa, and male of Eusimulium rendalense Golini and pupa of Eusimulium fallisi Golini are described for the first time. These three species are closely related; the first two are distinguished by a few consistent characters in all their developmental stages. Eusimulium fallisi is distinguished in the female from the other two species; its larva and adult male are still unknown. Keys distinguishing the stages of these species are provided. The immature stages of these species occur sympatrically in sedge – Sphagnum bog – fens, in slow water with currents of 1 to 30 cm/s.
