粉背蕨属一些种类的增订

粉背蕨属植物全国已知有27种,其中多数种类叶片下面被有白色粉末,少数被黄色粉末。最近在海南岛五指山主峰顶又采得一叶片下面被黄色粉末的种,这是该属在海南岛唯一分布的种,经研究确认是一新种,广西龙胜也有其分布,但曾被认为是金爪粉背蕨。在全面研究金爪粉背蕨的模式标本及其原始文献后,发现其原描述有不确之处,且本种只产四川,原文献中记载金爪粉背蕨也分布到云南和贵州,经查证云南和贵州的标本那是另外一不同的种。现对以上予以报道,并补充修订金爪粉背蕨的描述。

Updating the knowledge of assassin bug cockroaches (Blattodea: Blaberidae: Paranauphoeta Brunner von Wattenwyl): Species from China and taxonomic changes

The investigation into the cockroach genus Paranauphoeta Brunner von Wattenwyl is insufficient, and there is a lack of taxonomic documentation of this genus from China. Recently, the authors obtained some newly collected specimens which facilitated this study. In this paper the generalized morphology of Paranauphoeta is interpreted in detail, particularly for the male phallic complex, which is illustrated as a whole rather than in pieces. The taxonomy of Paranauphoeta species from China is revised. One out of four species recorded from China, P. indica Saussure & Zehntner, is removed; instead, P. kirby nom. nov. is recorded from China. Together with three new species described in this paper, namely, P. anulata sp. nov. , P. brachyptera sp. nov. and P. lineola sp. nov. , a total of seven Paranauphoeta species are now known to occur in China, whose habitus photos are provided. The new species confirm that this genus is wing‐polymorphic. Male structures, if available, are illustrated. Female structures and oothecae, of which knowledge is limited in this genus and also in cockroach taxonomy, are illustrated or documented, respectively. A key to and a distribution map of the Paranauphoeta species from China are provided. In addition, P. atra Shelford nom. rev. , P. sinica Bey‐Bienko stat. nov. and P. vietnamensis Anisyutkin stat. nov. are regarded as valid separate species.
