棘蝇属仿棘蝇种团二新种（双翅目：蝇科）

本文记述了在采自中国东洋区的蝇科标本中，发现棘蝇属中仿棘蝇种团二新种：残金刺蝇和残股棘蝇。该种团主要特征是：雄性下眶鬃分布在额在下半部；前中鬃缺如，后背中鬃４（少数为３），背侧片具小毛，小盾不带棕色；前足跗节无明显的感觉毛，腹部无闪光斑。模式标本保存在沈阳师范学院昆虫研究所。     

大瓣鱼科一新属与历史动物地理学研究

描述了采自云南曲靖龙华山下泥盆统徐家冲组顶部的一件大瓣鱼科化石，定名为龙华全瓣鱼，对新属种与其它瓣甲鱼类的比较表明全瓣鱼是原始的大瓣鱼类，它与其余的大瓣鱼类构成姊妹群。通过对大瓣鱼科的历史动物地理学研究认为，瓣甲鱼目起源于华南，而大瓣鱼科的祖先几乎是广布的，大瓣鱼科隔离分化模式显示，在泥盆纪期间，华南区与东冈瓦纳区有较密切的联系。     

大叶蝉科一新记录属一新种(同翅目：叶蝉总科)

追溯山茱萸科植物的性状进化和生物地理学历史——方法选择的影响?

This study compares results on reconstructing the ancestral state of characters and ancestral areas of distribution in Cornaceae to gain insights into the impact of using different analytical methods. Ancestral character state reconstructions were compared among three methods (parsimony, maximum likelihood, and stochastic character mapping) using MESQUITE and a full Bayesian method in BAYESTRAITS and inferences of ancestral area distribution were compared between the parsimony-based dispersal-vicariance analysis (DIVA) and a newly developed maximum likelihood (ML) method. Results indicated that among the six inflorescence and fruit characters examined, "perfect" binary characters (no homoplasy, no polymorphism within terminals, and no missing data) are little affected by choice of method, while homoplasious characters and missing data are sensitive to methods used. Ancestral areas at deep nodes of the phylogeny are substantially different between DIVA and ML and strikingly different between analyses including and excluding fossils at three deepest nodes. These results, while raising caution in making conclusions on trait evolution and historical biogeography using conventional methods, demonstrate a limitation in our current understanding of character evolution and biogeography. The biogeographic history favored by the ML analyses including fossils suggested the origin and early radiation of Cornus likely occurred in the late Cretaceous and earliest Tertiary in Europe and intercontinental disjunctions in three lineages involved movements across the North Atlantic Land Bridge (BLB) in the early and mid Tertiary. This result is congruent with the role of NALB for post-Eocene migration and in connecting tropical floras in North America and Africa, and in eastern Asia and South America. However, alternative hypotheses with an origin in eastern Asia and early Trans-Beringia migrations of the genus cannot be ruled out.
