Revision on Cephalostachyum Munro (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) in China

Species of Cephalostachyum Munro (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) from China are distributed in Yunnan and Tibet, mainly in Yunnan. In this paper, we discussed species of Cephalostachyum and compiled a key to species from China, based on recent studies on micromorphological characters of leaf epidermis and molecular phylogenetics of paleotropical woody bamboos. There is a total of seven species of Cephalostachyum distributed in China, all in Yunnan: Cchinense (Rendle) DZ. Li et HQ. Yang, Cfuchsianum Gamble et Hook. f., Cmannii (Gamble) Stapleton et DZ. Li, Cpallidum Munro, Cpingbianense (Hsueh et YM. Yang ex Yi et al.) DZ. Li et HQ. Yang, Csanguineum (WP. Zhang) DZ. Li et HQ. Yang and Cscandens Bor. Leptocanna Chia et HL. Fung and Cvirulentum YM Yang et F. Du are synonyms of Cephalostachyum Munro and Cfuchsianum Gamble et Hook. f. respectively. On the other hand, Cpergracile Munro and Cvirgatum (Munro) Kurz are morphologically closer to Schizostachyum Nees than to Cephalostachyum, and they should be treated as members of Schizostachyum. This paper is of significance to a worldwide revision of Cephalostachyum.     

On the validity of the genera Sinocalamus McClure and Lingnania McClure

When F. A. McClure published the new genus Sinocalamus McClure in 1940, the 4 species he listed are S. latiflorus (Munro) McClure, S. beecheyanus (Munro) McClure, S. oldhami (Munro) McClure and S. affinis (Rendle) McClure. After careful examination, the authors of this paper considered that the type species of McClure’s genus S. latiflorus (Munro) McClure should belong to the genus Dendrocalamus Nees, and the other species are of Bambusa Schreber. Owing to Sinocalamus McClure is not a taxon representative of its type species, but a mixture, it must be rejected as a synonym of Dendrocalamus Nees. In consequence then, the authors make adjustment to the taxonomic category of the 14 species and 1 variety which have ever been in Sinocalamus McClure. As for the characters of Lingnania McClure, except that some differences exist in the vegetative parts, the structure of the spikelets is in the main the same as that of Bambusa Schreber. Consequently, with regard to the systematic relationship, the authors consider it may be more resonable that the rank of Lingnania McClure should be altered to Bambusa Schreber subg. Lingnania (MeClure) Chia et H. L. Fung; all the species of Lingnania McClure, except that L. tsiangii McClure should be transferred to Dendrocalamus Nees, should be assignable to Bambusa Schreber subg. Lingnania (McClure) Chia et H. L. Fung.     

应用叶表皮结构讨论槽稃草属Euthryptochloa Cope(Gramineae)的归属问题

比较研究单种属,槽稃草属Euthryptochloa Cope与显子草属Phaenosperma Munro的叶表皮微形态,并结合外部形态特征说明槽稃草属与显子草属无论在叶表皮微形态或外部形态上都无区别。根据国际植物命名法规的优先律,槽稃草属不能独立成属,应归入显子草属。     

国产牡竹属野龙竹和版纳甜龙竹的订正

通过对模式标本和原始文献的研究,确认<中国植物志>、、<云南植物志>、<中国竹类植物图志>、<云南树木图志>、<中国竹类图志>等重要专著中广泛使用的版纳甜龙竹学名Dendrocdanus hamittonii Nees et Arn.为错误鉴定,其正确学名为D.parishii Munro;野龙竹(D.semiscandens Hsueh et D.Z.Li)为D.ham iltonii Nees et Arn.的异名.     

[竹思]簩竹属及其近缘属叶表皮微形态特征

用扫描电镜和光学显微镜对[竹思]簩竹属（Schizostachyum Nees）7个种,及其近缘的梨竹属（Melocanna Trin．）、泡竹属（Pseudostachyum Munro）、薄竹属（Lepzocanna Chia et H．L．Fung）各1个种以及空竹属（Cephalostachyum Munro）6个种的叶表皮微形态特征进行了观察。结果表明竹叶下表皮乳突的形状和在气孔器上及周围的排列式样在这5个属中各有不同,具有重要的分类学和系统学价值。同时我们的结果不支持广义的笃竹属;而梨竹属、空竹属和泡竹属则被支持独立成属。另外,薄竹（Leptocanna chinensis）和红毛[竹思]簩竹（Schizostachyum sanguineum）的叶表皮微形态特征非常接近空竹属;香糯竹（Cephalostachyum pergracile）和金毛空竹（C．virgatum）的叶表皮微形态特征则十分接近[竹思]簩竹属。     

Micromorphological Study on Leaf Epidermis of Schizostachyum and Its Allies ( Poaceae: Bambusoideae)

Micromorphological characters of leaf epidermis of 16 published species from Schizostachy um Nees and its allies ( including Melocanna Trin. , Pseudostachyum Munro, Leptocanna Chia et H. L. Fung and Cephalostachyum Munro) were examined by both light and scanning electron microscopies. The results indicated that the papillae forms and distributional patterns on the abaxial surface were taxonomically informative at the generic level. The characters of papillae did not support Schiz ostachyum sensu lato; meanwhile, it was supported that Melocanna, Pseudostachyum and Cep halostachyum were better to be treated as separate genera respectively. Furthermore, it seemed to be more appropriate to place Leptocanna chinensis and Schizostachyum sanguineum in Cep halostachyum; and to place Cephalostachyum pergr acile and C1 virgatum in Schizostachy um .     

Systematic revision of the subgenus Ceratitis MacLeay s.s. (Diptera, Tephritidae)

The fruit fly genus Ceratitis MacLeay (Diptera, Tephritidae) comprises several important pest species attacking a wide range of unrelated fruits. This is the third paper in a series revising the genus, and deals with representatives of the subgenus Ceratitis s.s . Eight species are recognized: Ceratitis brachychaeta Freidberg, C. caetrata Munro, C. capitata (Wiedemann), C. catoirii Guerin-Meneville, C. comuta (Bezzi), C. malgassa Munro, C. manjakatompo Hancock and C. pinax Munro. Lectotypes are designated for C. catoirii and C. pinax . A key for both sexes is provided, with illustrations of cephalic bristles, mesonotal and wing patterns, and shape of aculeus. All species are Afrotropical, except for 67. capitata , which has become widespread. The phylogeny and biogeography of Ceratitis s.s . are discussed, based on a cladistic analysis, and showing indications that the mediterranean fruit fly, C. capitata , may have its origins in eastern Africa. The relationship of this subgenus within the genus Ceratitis s.l . is also outlined.

Assemblage of pollinator communities in four widely isolated nature reserves of southern Punjab,Pakistan

Pollinators are key components of the global biodiversity, providing vital ecosystem services of pollination to crops and wild plants. Understanding pollinator assemblage and how it changes spatially is important in order to device effective ecosystem management planning. This is the first empirical study to explore pollinator community structure in four widely isolated nature reserves of southern Punjab, Pakistan, i.e., the central agricultural plain (Pirowal Forest), the Indus delta plain (Ghazi Ghat Wetland), hilly mountains (Fort Munro), and a sandy desert (Lal Suhanra Forest). Six assemblage parameters, i.e., abundance, richness, dominance, evenness, Simpson index, and Shannon-Wiener index, were studied over seven consecutive months (February to August 2012). Maximum abundance and richness of the pollinators were recorded at Ghazi Ghat (1354 individuals and 84 species), followed by Pirowal (1331 individuals and 80 species), Lal Suhanra (1197 individuals and 77 species), and Fort Munro (808 individuals and 65 species). The highest values of Simpson and evenness indexes were recorded at Fort Munro, while the Shannon-Wiener and dominance indexes were highest at Ghazi Ghat and Pirowal. Species richness was highest for bees, while it was lowest for flies, yet the latter were the highest in abundance among the four pollinator groups. The current study is a first account of pollinator assemblage structure in four widely isolated forest reserves of Punjab, Pakistan. This will support ecosystem management planning, and opens doors for further research in order to reveal complexities in pollinator assemblage structure especially in relation with plant communities.
