A New Species

Abstract Pipistrelloid bats are among the most poorly known bats in Africa, a status no doubt exacerbated by their small size, drab brown fur and general similarity in external morphology. The systematic relationships of these bats have been a matter of debate for decades, and despite some recent molecular studies, much confusion remains. Adding to the confusion has been the recent discovery of numerous new species. Using two mitochondrial genes, we present a phylogeny for this group that supports the existence of three main clades in Africa: Pipistrellus, Neoromicia and the recently described Parahypsugo. However, the basal branches of the tree are poorly supported. Using an integrative taxonomic approach, we describe a new species of Pipistrellus sp. nov. from West Africa, which has been cited as Pipistrellus cf. grandidieri in the literature. We demonstrate that it is not closely related to Pipistrellus grandidieri from East Africa, but instead is sister to Pipistrellus hesperidus. Furthermore, the species Pi. grandidieri appears to be embedded in the newly described genus Parahypsugo, and is therefore better placed in that genus than in Pipistrellus. This has important taxonomic implications, because a new subgenus (Afropipistrellus) described for Pi. grandidieri predates Parahypsugo and should therefore be used for the entire “Parahypsugo” clade. The Upper Guinea rainforest zone, and particularly the upland areas in the south-eastern Guinea—northern Liberia border region may represent a global hotspot for pipistrelloid bats and should receive increased conservation focus as a result.

A New Species

An ongoing survey for novel phytoplasmas and viruses that affect palms (Arecaceae) is being conducted in Costa Rica along with potential vectors. During that survey, a new species of derbid planthopper (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) in the genus Omolicna Fennah was detected from Heredia and Limón State and is here described as Omolicna xavieri sp. n. This new taxon was first found on declining coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) and subsequently on healthy coconut palms in Tortuguero National Park. Also, two additional species of Omolicna, O. brunnea and O. triata, were collected on coconut in the same habitat and represent new country records. There are no previously published records of Omolicna from Costa Rica. Sequence data for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the 18S ribosomal RNA gene were obtained. In addition, novel 18S primers specific to auchenorrhynchan insects were developed and presented. The molecular data show high pairwise distances between O. xavieri sp. n. and other Omolicna species (24% to 31% and 10% using COI and 18S, respectively). Based on both morphological and sequence data, we erect and briefly describe the new subgenus Agoo for the new species to reflect the observed differences. A checklist of Omolicna species is presented.

1. Cotylaspis sinensis and Lophotaspis orientalis are described as new species of trematodes from the small intestine of the turtle, Amyda tuberculata, from Foochow, Fukien Province, China.2. Stichocotyle cristata is described as a new species from the spiral valve of the cow-nosed ray, Rhinoptera quadriloba, from Biloxi Bay, Mississippi.3. A new subgenus, Multicalyx, is created for the species Stichocotyle cristata, while the species S. nephropis appropriately belongs to a new subgenus Stichocotyle.4. Evidence is provided that aspidogastrid worms are referable neither to the Monogenea nor the Digenea, but belong to an intermediate subclass group, Aspidogastrea, n.n.5. The genus Stichocotyle has been removed from the family Aspidogastridae Poche, 1907, and placed in a new family, Stichocotylidae.

AbstractA new species of Forcipomyia from Singapore is described in all stages. Although the female adult could be placed in Lepidohelea Kieffer (1917) by the possession of scales in addition to bristles and hairs, the male genitalia are distinctive. A new subgenus, Schizoforcipomyia, is erected to accommodate this species whose larva has a bilobed anal pseudopod and whose male genitalia are intermediate between Forcipomyia s. str. and Proforcipomyia.

A new species of the genus Phaenocarpa Foerster, 1863, with an aberrant ovipositor, P. platychora sp. nov., from SE China is included as type species in a new subgenus, Clistalysia nov. A key to the subgenera of Phaenocarpa Foerster is included; Idiolexis Foerster, 1863, and Kahlia Ashmead, 1900, are recognised as valid subgenera.

In this paper new taxa belonging to the family Liacaridae from the Caucasus (Georgia) are described: a new subgenus and species Adoristes (Gordeeviella) krivolutskyi subg. n., sp. n. and a new species Liacarus (Liacarus) longipilis sp. n. The new subgenus Adoristes (Gordeeviella) differs from Adoristes (Adoristes) Hull, 1916 by the shape of its sensilla, with the tip sharply pointed, and of its lamellae, without cuspis. The new species Liacarus (L.) longipilis differs from the rest of species of Liacarus by the presence of very long notogastral setae.

In the present note Minitrechus, a new subgenus of <em>Trechus</em>, characterized in the 75 male by only the first tarsal segment dilated and dentate, and by much enlarged paramera, bearing three apical setae, clearly isolated from each other, is described. The new species, <em>Trechus</em> (<em>Minitrechus</em>) <em>gypaeti</em>, is light yellow in colour, rather flattened, with little eyes, pronotum not sinuate, with fore and hind angles blunt; third elytral stria with two discal setae. The median lobe of the aedeagus is short, stout, little arcuate, with a copulatory piece triangular, lanceolate and sharpened at the tip, little sclerified. Female gonostyli short and curved, bear a stout and long ensiform seta on the inner edge, flanked by two smaller ones.
