A new species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tinrovia</Emphasis> Mamaev, 1987 (Monogenea: Microcotylidae) from the deep-sea fish <Emphasis Type="Italic">Notacanthus bonaparte</Emphasis> Risso (Notacanthiformes: Notacanthidae) in the Western Mediterranean and the North East Atlantic

A new microcotylid, Tinrovia mamaevi n. sp. (Monogenea: Polyopisthocotylea), is described from the gills of Notacanthus bonaparte Risso (Notacanthiformes: Notacanthidae), sampled in the Western Mediterranean and North East Atlantic. This species is allocated to the subfamily Syncoelicotylinae Mamaev & Zubchenko, 1978 due to the possession of a symmetrical haptor with two separate frills. The clamps in T. mamaevi n. sp. are of the “microcotylid” type, arranged in two distinct lateral haptoral frills; the genital atrium and the copulatory organ are armed and the vaginal pore is unarmed. The new species differs from the type- and only species of the genus, T. papiliocauda Mamaev, 1987, in having a shorter and narrower haptor with a smaller number of clamps. Clamps are also smaller in the new species, testes are more numerous, the genital atrium is smaller, divided into two lateral lobes (instead of five) with a smaller number of spines and the eggs have a short and a long filament (instead of two short filaments). The host species and locality of T. mamaevi n. sp. also differ as T. papiliocauda which was recorded in Notacanthus sexspinis Richardson from the South Pacific.     

First records of Clusia Haliday and Clusiodes Coquillett (Diptera: Clusiidae) from Korea

This study reports the first Korean records of the genera Clusia Haliday and Clusiodes Coquillett (Diptera: Clusiidae), with four newly recorded species, Clusia intermedialis (Mamaev), Clusia nigromaculata (Mamaev), Clusia unita Mamaev, and Clusiodes flaveolus Mamaev. Morphological diagnosis is provided with a key to Korean Clusiidae. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene sequences of Clusia and Clusiodes are analyzed for DNA barcoding. Molecular analyses of both genera result in well-defined species clusters with significant barcode gaps, and also identify problematic data in the public database.     

Turgecaecum longifauces gen. et sp. n. (Digenea: Cryptogonimidae) from Suwanee bass, Micropterus notius Bailey and Hubbs, and emendation of the subfamily Caecincolinae Yamaguti 1958.

A new trematode of the family Cryptogonimidae is described from Suwanee bass (Micropterus notius Bailey and Hubbs) from Florida. Turgecaecum longifauces gen. et sp. n. is characterized by having a long esophagus, precrural acetabula, short expanded ceca and vitellaria in the shoulder region. It is placed in the subfamily Caecincolinae and is compared with Caecincola Marshall and Gilbert 1905, the only other genus in the subfamily. Emendments to the subfamily are made.     

Revision of the Athyrisininae, Siluro-devonian Brachiopods from China and Russia

Athyrisinine brachiopods from the Upper Silurian of Russia and the Lower–Middle Devonian of China and north Vietnam include over 70 species belonging to Athyrisina and Parathyrisina ; generic and subfamilial diagnoses are emended. Five genera are considered synonyms of Athyrisina and three of Parathyrisina . A neotype is selected and illustrated for Athyrisina squamosa , the type species of Athyrisina . Four nomina nova , Athyrisina xui , Parathyrisina wani , P. minima , and P. cheni , are suggested as new substitute names for Athyrisina tumida Wang, in Xu et al. 1978 (primary homonymy), Athyrisinoides ganxiensis Wan, in Xu et al. 1978, Parathyrisina minor Zhang, in Zhang and Fu 1983, and Athyrisinoides tudilingensis Chen, 1979 (secondary homonyms) respectively. A new genus, Bruntosina , is described from the Emsian to Eifelian of the Qinling region. A new subfamily, Homeathyridinae, is erected within the Athyrididae with Homeathyris , Pseudohomeospira , and Squamathyris included, revised and their diagnoses emended. Homeathyris incisus sp. nov. is described from the Ludfordian of Novaya Zemlya. Ikella is revised and excluded from the athyrisinins. The origin and dispersal of the homeathyridins and the athyrisinins are discussed.

Revision of the genus Diclidophora Krøyer, 1838 (Monogenea: Diclidophoridae), with the proposal of Macrouridophora n. g.

The present study re-examines the detailed morphology of the type-species, Diclidophora merlangi (Kuhn, in Nordmann, 1832) Krøyer, 1838, and other Diclidophora species parasitic on gadid fishes: D. denticulata (Olsson, 1876) Price, 1943, D. esmarkii (Th. Scott, 1901) Sproston, 1946, D. luscae (van Beneden & Hesse, 1863) Price, 1943, D. minor (Olsson, 1868) Sproston, 1946, D. palmata (Leuckart, 1830) Diesing, 1850, D. phycidis (Parona & Perugia, 1889) Sproston, 1946, D. pollachii (van Beneden & Hesse, 1863) Price, 1943 and the recently described D. micromesisti Suriano & Martorelli, 1984. An amended generic diagnosis of Diclidophora Krøyer, 1838 (synonym Diclidophora Diesing, 1850) is provided, which includes the presence of a prostatic vesicle in the terminal male genitalia and the distal fusion of the median and peripheral sclerites, a₁ and c₁ in the clamp anterior jaw. Macrouridophora n. g. is herein proposed for species previously considered in Diclidophora, which are parasitic on macrourid and morid fishes. The clamp morphology in Macrouridophora n. g. has distinct lamellate extension attachments to peripheral sclerites c₁ and the distal portion of d₁, with no distal fusion between a₁ and c₁ in the anterior jaw. Macrouridophora macruri (Brinkmann, 1942) n. comb. is chosen as the type-species. Nine other species are herein transferred to Macrouridophora n. g.: M. coelorhynchi (Robinson, 1961) n. comb., M. lotella (Machida, 1972) n. comb., M. nezumiae (Munroe, Campbell & Zwerner, 1981) n. comb. and M. tubiformis (Rohde & Williams, 1987) n. comb. are redescribed, based on the re-examination of type or voucher specimens. Macrouridophora attenuata (Mamaev & Zubtschenko, 1979) n. comb., M. caudata (Mamaev & Zubtschenko, 1984) n. comb., M. papilio (Mamaev & Avdeev, 1981) n. comb., M. paracoelorhynchi (Mamaev & Paruchin, 1979) n. comb. and M. physiculi (Mamaev & Avdeev, 1981) n. comb. have adequately described haptoral clamps in the literature. The clamp morphology in Macrouridophora sp. from Lepidorhynchus denticulatus in Australia is also considered. Diclidophora whitsonii Suriano & Martorelli, 1984 is herein transferred to the genus Macruricotyle Mamaev & Ljadov, 1975, as M. whitsonii (Suriano & Martorelli, 1984) n. comb. D. embiotocae Hanson, 1979 is herein considered a species incertae sedis. D. caudospina Khan & Karyakarte, 1983 and D. paddiforma Deo & Karyakarte, 1979 are herein considered species inquirendae. D. aglandulosa Deo, 1977, D. glandulosa Das, 1972, D. minuta Das, 1972 and D. spindale Deo, 1977 are formally dismissed as nomina nuda. The systematic position of Diclidophora Krøyer, 1838 and Macrouridophora n. g. in the subfamily Diclidophorinae Cerfontaine, 1895 (sensu Mamaev, 1976) is discussed.

Catoptinae subfam. n., a new subfamily of carpenter-moths (Lepidoptera,Cossidae)

The new subfamily of Cossidae; Catoptinae Yakovlev, subfam. n., well distinguished from other representatives of the family, is described. The new subfamily includes two genera: Catopta Staudinger, 1899 (type genus) and Chiangmaiana Kemal et Koçak, 2006. A catalogue of the subfamily is presented. One new synonym Catopta hyrcanus (Christoph, 1888) = Catopta brandti Bryk, 1947, syn. n., is established. The new subfamily has the following distinguishing features: short valvae; reduced processes of transtilla; vesica with numerous cornuti; pearshaped bursa copulatrix; and very short ductus bursae.     

Abyssotrema pritchardae gen. et sp. n. (Digenea: Fellodistomidae) from the deep-sea fish, Alepocephalus agassizi Goode and Bean 1883.

Abyssotrema pritchardae gen. et sp. n. is described from the benthic teleost, Alepocephalus agassizi Goode and Bean 1883 (Alepocephalidae), taken from Hudson Canyon in the western North Atlantic. The new genus is placed in the subfamily Monascinae Dollfus 1947 and relationships among Abyssotrema, Elopsium Fischthal and Thomas 1972, and Monascus Looss 1907 are discussed.     

The first record of the family Cleridae (Coleoptera): Shartegopsis miranda gen. et sp. nov. in the mesozoic (Shar-Teg, Upper Jurassic, Southwestern Mongolia)

A new genus and species of the family Cleridae, Shartegopsis miranda gen. et sp. nov., is described from Shar-Teg (southwestern Mongolia, Upper Jurassic). Judging by the characters that can be examined, it can probably belong to the subfamily Tillinae, and it is the earliest known member of the family. Mathesius liaoningensis Kolíbac et Huang, 2011 is considered closely related to species of the paleoendemic family Parandrexidae.     

Boromorphus saudicus sp. n., a new record of the genus from the Arabian Peninsula (Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae: Boromorphini)

Boromophus saudicus sp. n. (subfamily Pimeliinae Latreille, 1802, tribe Boromorphini Skopin, 1978) is described from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Rawdhat Khorim, Riyadh Province). This finding represents the first record of the genus Boromorphus Wollaston, 1854 from the Arabian Peninsula. The species was collected from Acacia trees and from pitfall traps.

Description of Paktylenchus tuberosus gen. n., sp. n. (Nematoda: Tylenchinae)

Paktylenchus tuberosus gen.n., sp.n. is described and illustrated from soil around Solanum tuberosum from Kaghan Valley, Pakistan. Paktylenchus gen.n, can be distinguished from the most closely related genus, Agelenchus Andrassy, 1954, by the distinct longitudinal striae, three incisures in the lateral field, and absence of males. Paktylenchus tuberosus shows affinities to Coslenchus Siddiqi, 1978 but differs in having an oblique vagina-to-body axis and a prominent sunken vulva with vulval flaps. Four genera of the subfamily Tylenchinae are also discussed herein.     

中国特有属苞藜属的系统学研究

苞藜属(Baolia Kung et G. L. Chu)根据1978年在甘肃和四川交界的迭部县发现的苞藜(Baolia bracteata Kung et G. L. Chu)而建立,但其系统学地位从未在分子水平上得到解决。该研究分析了包含苞藜属的苋科(Amaranthaceae Juss.)32属48个物种的核基因片段(ITS)和叶绿体基因片段(rbcL、atpB-rbcL),构建了其分子系统发育树,探讨了苞藜属的生物系统学关系。结果表明:(1)苞藜属位于藜亚科(Chenopodioideae Burnett)。(2)苞藜属与虫实属(Corispermum L.)在约晚渐新世至中中新世出现分化。(3)虫实族(Corispermeae Moq.)与藜族(Chenopodieae Dumort.)关系密切。     

Revision of the superfamily Rhynchoporoidae Muir-Wood, 1955

The revision of punctate rhynchonellids of the superfamily Rhynchoporoidea revealed that the superfamily is composite. Based on the detail study of shell interior, the punctate rhynchonellids of the genus Rhynchopora King, 1865, subfamily Rhynchoporinae Muir-Wood, 1955 are placed into the family Trigonirhynchiidae Schmidt, 1965, superfamily Rhynchotrematoidea Schuchert, 1913. The genera Greira Erlanger, 1993, Tchanakhtchirostrum Sartenaer et Plodowski, 2003, Sharovaella Pakhnevich, 2012, Zaigunrostrum Sartenaer et Plodowski, 2003 are also referred to this family within the subfamily Greirinae Erlanger, 1993. The only genus of the subfamily Tretorhynchinae Savage, 2002, Tretorhynchia Brunton, 1971, is moved to the family Leiorhynchidae Stainbrook, 1945, superfamily Camarotoechioidea Schuchert, 1929. Araratella Abrahamian, Plodowski, et Sartenaer, 1975 within the subfamily Araratellinae Erlanger, 1986 is referred to the family Septalariidae Havlicek, 1960 of the same superfamily. The position of Rariella Zhang, 1981, Yingtangella Bai et Ying, 1977, Momarhynchus Baranov et Sartenaer, 1996 in the order Rhynchonellida remains controversial. The punctation and exopunctation is found to arise parallel in different rhynchonellid evolutionary branches after the Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction.     

Three species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Heteromazocraes</Emphasis> Mamaev, 1981 (Monogenea: Mazocraeidae), including two new species from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Thryssa</Emphasis> spp. (Teleostei: Engraulidae) off Visakhapatnam coast,Bay of Bengal

Three species of Heteromazocraes Mamaev, 1981 including two new taxa are described from the gills of three species of engraulid fishes Thryssa mystax (Bloch & Schneider), T. setirostris (Broussonet) and T. malabarica (Bloch) collected from the coastal waters off Visakhapatnam, Bay of Bengal. Heteromazocraes thryssaensis n. sp. differs from the closely related H. dodecacantha Mamaev, 1981 in the shape of the body and ovary, the number of testes and the number and shape of the genital hooks. Heteromazocraes engrauliae n. sp. differs from all the other species of the genus in the relative sizes of the haptoral clamps, in that the four closed clamps on the left side are larger than the two open clamps on the right side, in contrast to the situation in other species where the two open clamps on the anterior right side are markedly larger than the remaining clamps. Heteromazocraes kazikodiensis (Gupta & Khullar, 1967) Mamaev, 1981 regarded as a species inquirenda is redescribed with additional details and is reinstated as a valid species. A review of Heteromazocraes including a key for identification of the species is provided.     

Review of the genus Zygoneura Meigen (Diptera: Sciaridae) in Korea,with an updated checklist of the World species

The taxonomy of Zygoneura Meigen, 1830 (Diptera: Sciaridae) is studied. A total of three species of Zygoneura is found in Korea: Zygoneura (Zygoneura) sciarina Meigen, 1830, Zygoneura (Pharetratula) bidens (Mamaev, 1968), and Zygoneura (Pharetratula) flavicornis (Mamaev, 1968). Z. bidens is recorded from Korea for the first time. All three species are redescribed and illustrated, and a key to the Korean species is given. Furthermore, an updated world checklist of all species of Zygoneura is presented.     

PHYLOGENY OF THE SUBFAMILY SCOTIELLOCYSTOIDEAE (CHLOROPHYCEAE, CHLOROPHYTA) AND RELATED TAXA INFERRED FROM 18S RIBOSOMAL RNA GENE SEQUENCE DATA

Nuclear-encoded small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (18SrDNA) sequences were determined for Coelastrella multistriata (Trenkwalder) Kalina et Punčochářová, two species of Scotiellopsis ( S. oocystiformis (Lund) Kalina et Punčochářová and S. terrestris (Reisigl) Kalina et Punčochářová) and two species of Muriella ( M. aurantiaca Vischer and M. terrestris Boye- Petersen). Coelastrella and Scotiellopsis are members of the subfamily Scotiellocystoideae, and Muriella is a member of the subfamily Chlorelloideae in the family Chlorellaceae. Phylogenetic trees were constructed based on these sequence data and on previously known 18SrDNA sequences of 25 taxa. Coelastrella and Scotiellopsis were closely related to each other and formed a cluster with Scenedesmus vacuolatus (Shihira et Krauss) Kessler et al. This cluster shared a monophyletic ancestry with other Scenedesmus species. Muriella aurantiaca formed a sister relationship with the monophyletic lineage of Scenedesmus. However, another species, M. terrestris, was placed in the Trebouxiophyceae and was strongly related to Chlorella. The genus Mychonastes belonging to the Scotiellocystoideae was also not monophyletic. This study suggests that the subfamily Scotiellocystoideae should be removed from the Chlorellaceae.
