Face long, narrow, slightly broadened above, pale golden-brown, silvery below. Front metallic copper or coppery-green. Antenna (Fig. 1b) with first two segments yellow, the third black with about basal third yelllow; first segment of normal length; second very short, especially on lateral surface where it is scarcely visible; third short, broad, blunt.

A new species Sybistroma genriki sp. n. from the Yunnan province of China is described. It belongs to S. incisa group of species, differing from other species in mostly yellow antenna with arista-like stylus much longer than postpedicel; postpedicel elongated, much longer than wide, acute apically; stylus apical, with dark and white apical swelling; lower postocular setae white; legs mostly yellow except mostly black mid and hind coxae and brown-black distal spot on hind femur. A key to 11 species from Sichuan and Yunnan is provided, based mainly on male secondary sexual characters. The known distribution of the dolichopodine genus Sybistroma Meigen, 1824, is briefly discussed.

Secondary Sexual

A new and very unusual species of green lacewings, Ungla pseudomeleoma sp. nov. is described from Peru. Males of this species exhibit a remarkable example of generic-level homoplasy with Meleoma. Its abdominal and genitalic features are completely consistent with the genus Ungla. However, its external sexually dimorphic features resemble those of both Ungla and Meleoma. Females of the new species also express cranial modifications that resemble those of some female Meleoma species.

Recently, the author described two species of the genus Hoplosaenidea Laboissiere, 1933 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) where the male having a peculiar secondary sexual characters: clypeus excavated, furnished with projections, and the antennal first segment large, broadened, excavated and spined at apex. The two species are H. takizawai Mohamedsaid, 2001 (Fig. 5) and H. singaporensis Mohamedsaid, 2002 (Fig. 6) described from Bali and Singapore, respectively. The presence of secondary sexual characters in males is most prevalent in the chrysomelid beetles of the subfamily Galerucinae (Mohamedsaid 2004b).

A new species of ciid beetle from southwestern South Africa is described. Images of the habitus, male genitalia and other characters of the external morphology are provided. The observed variations of male secondary sexual characters are briefly discussed. The similarities of external morphological characters of Cis pickeri sp. nov. to other species of Cis Latreille are discussed, and the new species is tentatively included in the bilamellatus species group.

A New Species

Atopobathynella Schminke, 1973 is the third genus of Parabathynellidae to be discovered in India. A. operculata sp. n. shows three characters, which are unique within Parabathynellidae: fusion of the inner flagellum of the antennule with the first segment of the outer flagellum, presence of a single seta on the lateral surface of the uropodal sympod, and conspicuous tubes on the labrum. A. operculata sp. n. is also the first species of the genus with an inhomonomous spine row on the uropodal sympod and with an anal operculum almost reaching the end of the furca. Atopobathynella has a Gondwanan distribution, and is being reported for the first time from Asia.

The spoon tarsus species subgroup is revised and this clade is placed in the modified tarsus group of Hawaiian Drosophila. The species boundaries in this group are discussed in light of diagnostic secondary sexual characters of males. Drosophila septuosa Hardy is regarded as a junior synonym of Drosophila percnosoma Hardy. A new species, Drosophila kikalaeleele Lapoint, Magnacca & O’Grady is described. Drosophila fastigata Hardy, a species endemic to O‘ahu, is added to the species subgroup, bringing the total number of known species to 12. An updated key to species is provided to the spoon tarsus subgroup.

A New Species

A new species of Gracixalus is described from northwestern Vietnam based on morphological differences and molecular divergence. Morphologically, the new species, Gracixalus ziegleri sp. nov., is distinguishable from its congeners on the basis of a combination of the following diagnostic characters: (1) size small (SVL 28.1 – 30.5 mm); (2) head slightly wider than long; (3) vomerine teeth absent; (4) upper eyelid and dorsum without spine; (5) supratympanic fold distinct; (6) skin of dorsal and lateral surface of head, body and limbs rough, sparsely scattered with tubercles; (7) ventral skin granular; (8) tibiotarsal projection absent; (9) toes with moderately developed webbing, formula I1 – 11/2 II1 – 2III1 – 2IV2 – 1V; (10) dorsal surface of head and body brown to beige above, with an inverse Y-shaped dark brown marking, extending from interorbital region to central region of dorsum; (11) external vocal sac absent in males; (12) males with a nuptial pad on finger I. Phylogeneticially, the new species is a sister taxon of Gracixalus sapaensis and G. tianlinensis with well-supported values. Currently, the new species is known only from the evergreen montane tropical forest of Yen Bai Province at an elevation of ca. 2200 m a.s.l.

A New Species

A new, and only the third known species of the Neotropical montane genus Oressinoma Doubleday is described—O. sorina n. sp., from the Andes of central Peru. It is distinguishable immediately from the other two congeners by the shape of the hindwing underside submarginal orange band, and by the male genitalia. The systematics of Oressinoma are reviewed. A preliminary analysis is carried out based on COI barcode confirming the separate specific status of O. sorina n. sp. in relation to other two congeners. Both barcode and genital morphology data suggest that the widespread O. typhla Doubleday may be a complex of allopatric or, locally parapatric species. The genus Oressinoma is the only neotropical member of the predominantly Australian subtribe Coenonymphina, represented in the entire Holarctic by one genus only—Coenonympha Hübner, considered as the putative sister-genus of Oressinoma. Their origins and relationships are briefly discussed.
