Jamesoniella carringtonii—eine Plagiochila in Nepal mit Perianth

Abstract

Jamesoniella carringtonii (Balfour) Schiffn. is transferred to Plagiochila (P. carringtonii (Balfour) Grolle, comb.nov.). P. carringtonii ssp. carringtonii is regarded as an endemic subspecies of the British Isles and the Faeroes, whereasssp. lobuchensis Grolle, ssp.nov. with wholly entire leavesis restricted to Nepal and bears perianths. Jamesoniella carringtonii var. recurvata Nicholson is an independent not closely related species of Plagiochila (P. recurvata (Nicholson) Grolle, stat. et comb.nov.) from N.W.-Yünnan. P. recurvata and p. poeltii Inoue et GroUe, sp.nov. (from Nepal) probably belong to section Renitentes Carl. New differences between Jamesoniella autumnalis (DC.) Steph. and J. undulifolia (Nees) K. MOO., whichlatter is type of Biantheridion Grolle, sect.nov. Notes on the distribution of hepatics in Europe restricted to the cool euatlantic regions.     

Miscellanea hepaticologica 141-150

Abstract

141. Anomacaulis fiaccidus (Steph. 1917) Grolle c. n. has to replace A. hamatilobus (Grolle 1965) Schust. 142. Colura leratii (Steph. 1908) Steph. Has to replace C. apiculata Schiffn. ex Steph. 1916. 143. Herbertus sendtneri (Nees) Lindb. 1874 has to replace H. sendtneri (Nees) Evans 1917. 144. The redetected type of Herbertus stramineus (Dum.) Trev. in BR wholly justifies the recent usage of that name instead of H. aduncus auct. 145. The large styli of Jovetastella Tixier were misinterpreted as amphigastria. Jovetastella is reduced to subgeneric rank within Cololejeunea (Spruce) Schiffn., necessitating C. subg. Jovetastella (Tixier) Grolle n. st. et c. and C. paniensis (Tixier) Grolle c. n. 146. Lichenastrum Dill. 1811 is lectotypified with Jungermannia Ianceolata L. emend. Grolle, thus becoming a synonym of Jungermannia L. s. str. 147.Lophozia elongata Steph. has to replace L. elongata (Lindb. ex Kaal.) Steph. 148. Mannia triandra (Scop. 1772) Grolle c. n. has to replace M. rupestris (Nees 1817)Frye et Clark. A redetected type specimen of M archantia ludwigii Schwaegr. 1814 turned out to be Mannia triandra. Therefore Asterella gracilis (F. Web.) Underw. has to replace A. ludwigii auct. 149. Grimaldia chilensis Lindenb. ex Mont. 1839 was newly placed in synonymy of Sauteria berteroana Mont. 1839. 150. Telaranea nematodes (Gottsche ex Aust. 1879) Howe has to replace T. sejuncta auct., whereas the true T. sejuncta (Angstr. 1877) S. Arn. is a synonym of Arachniopsis diacantha (Mont. 1856) Howe. T. sejuncta yare breviseta (Herz.) Fulf. is still another species, thus the single record of T. nematodes or T. sejuncta from Juan Fernandez is rejected.     

Miscellanea hepaticologica 201-210

Abstract

201. Calycularia crispula Mitt. new to Mexico and the whole America. It is the first record outside Asia. 202. A type study of Fimbriaria nana Lindenb. revealed that it is synonymous with Athalamia hyalina (Sommerf.) Hatt. 203. Fossombroniaceae Hazsl. 1885 has to replace Codoniaceae Klinggr.1858 nom. illeg., because Codonia Dum. 1822 is illegitimate. 204. Herzogobryumaterrimum (Steph.) c. n. (≡ Cephalozia aterrima Steph.) has to replace H. filarium Grolle 1975. 205. Korrnickia Steph. 1917 is regarded as a synonym of Symphyogyna Nees et Mont. 1836 and K. cylindrica Steph. 1917 is placed in synonymy of S. mexicana Steph. 1909.206. The detection of the perianth of Lophocolea spectabilis Steph. (≡ Heteroscyphus arnellii Fulf.) necessitates a transfer as Leptoscyphus spectabilis (Steph.) c. n. 207. All records of Preissia Corda from Latin America are rejected. P. barbata Herz. 1921 is referred to as syn. nov. of Marchantia chenopoda L. 1753. 208. Riccia crustata Trab. was validly published in 1916 already, but has been generally overlooked hitherto. 209. Symphyogyna brasiliensis. Nees et Mont. is widespread in the Neotropics and Africa. Several African names are treated as synonyms. 210. The monotypic genus Wiesnerella Schiffn. is newly recorded from New Guinea and the Mascarenes. The Mascarene record is the first one outside Asia.     

Cheilolejeunea oncophylla (Ångstr.) Orolle & Reiner comb. nov. (Lejeuneaceae), from the Neotropics

Abstract

Cheilolejeunea oncophylla (Ångstr.) Grolle & Reiner comb. nov. (basionym: Lejeunea oncophylla Ångstr.) is described and illustrated. Trachylejeunea dominicensis Steph. and Harpalejeunea verrucosa Herzog are shown to be synon):'ms.     

Miscellanea hepaticologica (71-80)

Abstract

(71) Cephalozia lunulifolia (Dum. 1831) Dum. 1835—lectotype (nov.): Mougeot & Nestler 432/e, c. per., BR—has to replace C. media Lindb. 1881. (72) Kymatocalyx stoloniferus Herz. 1950, syn.nov.: Solenostoma apertum Schiffn. & S. Arn. 1964. Because of the structure of its seta Kymatocalyx Herz. is newly placed within Cephaloziellaceae. (73) Lophozia capitata (Hook.) Boulay 1904 has to replace L. capitata (Hook.) K. Müll. 1950. (74) All Scandinavian records of Lophozia latifolia Schust. are rejected. (75) Notoscyphus macroscyphus Schiffn., N. fluviorum Schiffn. and N. paulensis Schiffn., all in Schiffner & S. Arnell (1964), are newly placed in synonymy of Lophocolea aquatica Herz. 1950. Notoscyphus Mitt s.str. remains palaeotropic in distribution. (76) Plagiochila corniculata (Dum.) Dum. validly dating as a species from 1831 has to replace P. tridenticulata Dum. validly dating as a species from 1835. (77) P. Punctata Tayl. 1846, syn.nov.: P. pitardii Steph. 1921.(78) P. spinulosa (Dicks. 1790) Dum., syn.nov.: P. maderensis Gottsche in Steph. 1904, and P. castellonis Gottsche in Steph. 1918. (79) Critical notes on Plagiochila sect. Plagiochila in Europe. List of names to be considered, with their types. Lectotype (nov.) of Jungermannia asplenioides L.: specimen in OXF corresponding with Dillenius. Hist. Musc. 482, tab. 69, fig. 5, Oxford, 1747. The large European taxon of section Plagiochila has to bear the name P. aspleniodes (L. emend. Tayl.) Dum. (= P. major (Nees) S. Arn., nomillegit.). The smaller plants of section Plagiochila in Europe perhaps are heterogeneous and may be called provisionally P. porelloides (Torrey ex Nees) Lindenb. s.amplo (= P. asplenioides sensu S. Arn., non (L.) Dum.). (80) Attention is called to four old Porella combinations by Pfeiffer (1855).     

Saussurea haizishanensis sp. nov. (Compositae,Cardueae) from Sichuan,China

Saussurea haizishanensis B. Q. Xiu, G. Hao & N. H. Xia sp. nov., a new species from Sichuan, China, belonging to Saussurea subg. Eriocoryne (DC.) Hook. f. sect. Cincta Lipsch., is described and illustrated. It is similar to S. delavayi, but differs in its narrowly elliptic, lanceolate or broadly lanceolate leaves, outer phyllaries that are broadly triangular with irregularly dentate margin, and densely yellowish stipitate glandular stem, leaf blades, and adaxial phyllaries. It is also similar to S. schlagintweitii, but differs in possessing numerous capitula and having adaxially glabrous petiole bases. Color plates, line drawings, a distribution map of S. haizishanensis, photographs of phyllaries and leaf blades, and SEM microphotographs of the adaxial surface of style arms, the leaf blades, the abaxial surface of phyllaries of S. haizishanensis and S. delavayi are provided.

New subgenus of the genus Schizoprymnus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Japan, having a unique abdominal carapace structure

A new subgenus of the genus Schizoprymnus Foerster is described and figured from Honshu, Japan. The subgenus, Ibarakius subgen. nov., comprises three species, S. (I.) gotoi sp. nov. (type species), S. (I.) kaizawus sp. nov., and S. (I.) honshuensis sp. nov. A pair of long, curved posteroventral processes on the carapace is unique to Ibarakius subgen. nov. The variability of frontal protuberances and sutures of the carapace in the brachistine genera Triaspis Haliday and Schizoprymnus Foerster is discussed.     

New gall midges of the tribe Leptosynini (Diptera,Cecidomyiidae) from the Late Eocene ambers and the classification of the supertribe Heteropezidi

Three new genera and 27 new species of gall midges are described from the Late Eocene ambers: Henria baltica sp. nov., Frirenia manca sp. nov., F. musicata sp. nov., Leptosyna samlandica sp. nov., L. fastosa sp. nov. from Baltic amber and H. xystica sp. nov., H. liquida sp. nov., Stellasegna vlaskini gen. et sp. nov., S. vaporea sp. nov., S. nexa sp. nov., Rasnitsia verticosa gen. et sp. nov., F. rohdendorfi sp. nov., F. schevchenkoi sp. nov., F. melica sp. nov., F. lukashevichae sp. nov., F. leporidis sp. nov., F. marmarygma sp. nov., F. vesana sp. nov., Vincinescia alisae gen. et sp. nov., L. margarita sp. nov., L. munifera sp. nov., L. sukachevae sp. nov., L. assa sp. nov., L. larga sp. nov., L. vegeta sp. nov., L. vaticina sp. nov., and L. shcherbakovi sp. nov. from Rovno amber. Strobliella capitata Fedotova is redescribed as Henria capitata (Fedotova, 2004) (comb. nov.). Diagnoses of Henria (= Electroxylomyia Nel et Prokop, syn. nov.), Frirenia, and Leptosyna are revised. As a result, Henria comprises 3 extant and 5 extinct (Late Eocene) species, including H. eocenica (Nel et Prokop), comb. nov. (= Electroxylomyia eocenica), Frirenia comprises 1 extant and 10 Late Eocene species, and Leptosyna comprises 3 extant and 11 Late Eocene species. The tribe Heteropezini is elevated to the supertribal rank (Heteropezidi) and included in the subfamily Lasiopterinae. Leptosynini is treated as a separate tribe, and Lasiopterinae is considered as part of Cecidomyiidae s. str. (i.e., excluding Lestremiidae). Keys to the tribes and genera of Heteropezidi and to species of Henria, Stellasegna, Frirenia, and Leptosyna are provided. The gall midge faunas of the Rovno and Baltic ambers are compared. Phylogenetic relationships within the supertribe are hypothesized.
