Generic Description

A generic description of Riccardia Gray is presented, as well as confirmation of the local presence of its type species,R midtifida (I,.) Gray, which is described and illustrated. Amell (1952; 1963) incorrectly identified his collections of this species as R. saccatiflora (Steph.) S.W.Arnell; some notes on it are added.

Generic Description

The genera Gymnoeurotium, Harpezomyces, and Sporophormis, all described recently by Malloch and Cain, are shown to be later synonyms of Chaetosartorya, Edyuillia, and Warcupiella, respectively, described 2 months earlier by Subramanian. Syncleistostroma Subr. is rejected as a nomen confusum because of discrepancies between the generic description and the designated type species, leaving Petromyces Malloch & Cain the correct generic name for the species involved.

Takahashi (1942) described Dialeurotrachelus cambodiensis, the type species of the monotypic whitefly genus, Dialeurotrachelus Takahashi from three syntype specimens collected on an unidentified tree in Cambodia, which were subsequently lost or destroyed. It was rediscovered after eight decades in the Indian territories of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. A neotype is designated for D. cambodiensis Takahashi, from specimens collected on Diospyros kurzii Hiern (Ebenaceae) from Andaman Island, India. It is recorded for the first time from the Indian territories, Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Pupal morphology is assessed for redefining the generic description with differential diagnoses from related genera, and anomalies involved with structure of the vasiform orifice and associated structures are discussed. Illustrations are provided of the puparia in life, camera lucida drawings, slide mounts, and scanning electron photomicrographs.

Anatomical Evidence

Comparative studies were undertaken on the inflorescence, bracts and floral morphology of all taxa of the genus Passerina L. in southern Africa. Information is given in tabular form and a key based on bract morphology is presented.Floral morphology supported the status of the intrageneric taxa and also proved to be of taxonomic significance in the genus. Controversy surrounding the interpretation of a number of floral morphological structures in  Passerina has been resolved. Morphological and anatomical evidence allowed a re-interpretation of the structure of the receptacle, hypanthium and sepals, ovary type and position, structure of the seed coat, ovule type and position, obturator, fruit and seed. On this basis an authentic generic description of the floral morphology was compiled.  Passerina is distinguished by the following set of characters, a very short floral receptacle, tubular hypanthium, petaloid calyx, absence of petals and petaloid scales, diplostemonous dimorphic androecium, extrorse anthers, superior ovary, anatropous, ventrally epitropous ovule, an obturator of elongated cells, a I-seeded berry or an achene and tegmic seed with nuclear endosperm becoming cellular throughout.On this basis the flower in Passerina is considered a phylogenetically advanced structure, supporting the view that the genus is advanced within the Thymelaeoideae. The proposed taxonomic relationship between Thymelaeaceae and Malvales is confirmed by floral morphological evidence.

The taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of the fungal genus Fimetariella (Ascomycotina, Lasiosphaeriaceae) are discussed. A revised generic description and key are presented. Descriptions and illustrations are provided for all taxa. Fimetariella dunarum n.comb. and Fimetariella apotoma, Fimetariella brachycaulina, Fimetariella dolichopoda, Fimetariella macromischa, Fimetariella microsperma, and Fimetariella tetraspora n.spp. are proposed. A phialidic anamorph resembling Cladorrhinum is reported for F. microsperma. The ascospores of the type species Fimetariella rabenhorstii are considered to possess two terminal germ pores, one large pore and one very small pore, along with several small, apparently nonfunctional pores. A key to the genera with these minor pores is included. Key words: Fimetariella, Cladorrhinum, coprophilous, fungi, keys, taxonomy.

The poorly known and so far monotypic sesiid genus Crinipus Hampson, 1896 is revised. This genus, which had not been assigned to a tribe before, is here placed in Synanthedonini. In addition to the type species C. leucozonipus Hampson, 1896, which is from the Arabian Peninsula, three species from southern Africa are assigned to the genus: Hypanthedon marisa (Druce, 1899), Synanthedon vassei (Le Cerf, 1917) and Lepidopoda pictipes Hampson, 1919. Hypanthedon Hampson, 1919 is established as a subjective junior synonym of Crinipus. Redescriptions of all species with the exception of C. pictipes are presented. The male of C. marisa is described for the first time.

Generic Description

<em>Ceriporiopsis gilvescens</em> (Bres.) Domański producing white rot in wood of deciduous trees is the type species of the genus <em>Ceriporiopsis</em> Domański. In order to complete its generic description, the culture of the fungus was examined and its species code established. Interfertility studies, with single spore cultures isolated from sporophores derived from three sources in Poland have shown that the fungus is heterothallic and has the tetrapolar type of interfertility. It gives also positive reaction in the test for extracellular oxidase In this connection (1) these characters have been introduced in the description of !the genus <em>Ceriporiopsis</em>, and (2) the species <em>Poria placenta</em> (Fr.) Cke sensu J. Erikss. is excluded from this genus

The tarantula genusPhlogiellus(Pocock 1897) is revised. The genus is diagnosed against all other selenocosmiine genera for the first time along with a new generic description. The tribe Yamiini (Kishida 1920) is diagnosed against all other selenocosmiine tribes. AllPhlogiellusspecies are diagnosed from all congeners; all species are mapped. Complete dichotomous keys for both sexes of all species are included. Where appropriate, intraspecific variation is discussed. Four new species are described:P. bogadekisp. nov. from Hong Kong,P. johnreylazoisp. nov. from Palawan Island, Philippines,P. moniqueverdezaesp. nov. from Ranong, Thailand, andP. pelidnussp. nov. from Sabah, Borneo. The type speciesP. atriceps(Pocock 1897) holotype male is redescribed and the maleP. baeri(Simon 1877) is described in detail for the first time. The validity ofP. inermis(Ausserer 1871) is confirmed. Relationships between all known selenocosmiine genera andPhlogiellusfrom the Philippines are discussed and several character traits are newly diagnosed. The tribe Phlogiellini (West et al. 2012) is a junior synonym of Yamiini (Kishida 1920).Selenocosmia orophila(Thorell 1897) from Myanmar,Selenocosmia insulana(Hirst 1909) from Djampea (= Jampea) Island, andSelenocosmia obscura(Hirst 1909) from Sarawak, Borneo, are transferred toPhlogiellus, altering the specific names toPhlogiellus orophilus(Thorell 1897) comb. nov.,Phlogiellus insulanus(Hirst 1909) comb. nov., andPhlogiellus obscurus(Hirst 1909) comb. nov.Phlogiellus subarmatus(Thorell 1891) is transferred toChilobrachys(Karsch 1891), becomingChilobrachys subarmatus(Thorell 1891) comb. nov.Phlogiellus kwebaburdeos(Barrion-Dupo et al., 2014) is transferred toOrphnaecus(Simon 1892), becomingOrphnaecus kwebaburdeos(Barrion-Dupo et al., 2014) comb. nov.Phlogiellus ornatus(Thorell 1897) andPhlogiellus nebulosus(Rainbow 1899) are consideredspecies inquirenda.Phlogiellus baeri(Simon 1877) is no longer consideredincertae sedis;Phlogiellus bicolor(Strand 1911) andPhlogiellus insularis(Simon 1877) are consideredincertae sedis.
