Comprehensive phylogeny of the Cleroidea (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia)

The first thorough molecular phylogeny of the superfamily Cleroidea, represented by 377 taxa, and the first with an emphasis on Trogossitidae, was undertaken. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses were performed on a four‐gene dataset (18S, 28S, cox1, cytb) of 395 taxa (along with 18 outgroups), including all 16 currently recognized families of Cleroidea and all current and formerly recognized tribes of Trogossitidae. The superfamily as a whole received strong support in Bayesian analyses. On the basis of phylogenetic results, 18 families in Cleroidea are recognized, including three taxa elevated to family for the first time and two reinstated families. The former tribe Rentoniini (Trogossitidae: Peltinae) was strongly supported as a monophyletic group apart from the remainder of Trogossitidae, and is herein elevated to family status, Rentoniidae stat.n. Protopeltis was also found to be an isolated lineage and becomes Protopeltidae stat.n. Peltini + Larinotini were recovered as a weakly supported sister grouping; Peltini (including only Peltis) becomes Peltidae stat.rest. The trogossitid subfamily Lophocaterinae, to the exclusion of Decamerini, formed a clade which is here designated Lophocateridae stat.rest. and sensu n. The Trogossitinae tribes Calityini, Egoliini (represented by Egolia) and Larinotini were recovered apart from core Trogossitidae but showed no strong affinities to other taxa or congruence between analyses; they are here conservatively retained in Trogossitidae as Calityinae stat.rest. , Egoliinae stat.rest. and Larinotinae stat.rest. The genus Thymalus of the peltine tribe Thymalini was indicated with moderate to strong support as the sister group of the Decamerini (Trogossitidae: Lophocaterinae); together these represent Thymalidae stat.n. and sensu n. with subfamilies Decamerinae stat.rest. ( new placement ) and Thymalinae stat.n. The remainder of Trogossitinae, the tribes Trogossitini and Gymnochilini, formed a well‐supported clade which comprises the Trogossitidae: Trogossitinae sensu n. The tribe Gymnochilini syn.n. is synonymized with Trogossitini. The monotypic family Phloiophilidae was recovered, contradicting a recent placement within Trogossitidae. The melyrid lineage was recovered with moderate (maximum likelihood) to strong (Bayesian analyses) support and includes the families Phycosecidae, Rhadalidae, Mauroniscidae, Prionoceridae and Melyridae (including Dasytidae and Malachiidae). The genus Dasyrhadus is tentatively transferred from Rhadalidae to Mauroniscidae. The genus Gietella, once proposed as a distinct family but recently placed within Dasytidae, was recovered as strongly sister to Rhadalidae sensu n. , and we transfer it to that family as Gietellinae new placement . Attalomiminae (formerly Attalomimidae) syn.n. is synonymized with Melyridae: Malachiinae: Lemphini sensu n. Melyridae sensu n. includes only Dasytinae, Malachiinae and Melyrinae. Metaxina is returned to the Chaetosomatidae sensu n. , of which Metaxinidae syn.n. becomes a junior synonym. Resolution within Cleridae was generally poor, but a broadly defined Korynetinae stat rest. + Epiclininae received high support (Bayesian analyses). Outside of Trogossitidae, the main focus of this study, major rearrangements of the classification of Cleroidea were not undertaken, despite evidence indicating such changes are needed.     

A revision of the Afrotropical taxa of the genus Amerila Walker (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)

This paper comprises a complete revision of the Afrotropical species of the genus Amerila ( Rhodogastria auct.), based on adult morphology. Examination of type material for most described taxa has resulted in numerous taxonomic changes. From a total of forty-seven previously described African taxa, thirty-five species including five newly described species and two new subspecies are recognized. For ten taxa, lectotypes have been selected, and for one species a neotype had to be designated. For each species, in addition to synonymy, a brief diagnosis based on external characters and genitalia is given, and the known distribution summarized. All species are illustrated by photographs and illustrations of male genitalia (except A.rufifemur , the male of which is unknown), and a key for determination of males by external characters is provided.     

New species and summary of Iberian Harpellales

The occurrence of three new species of Harpellales in the Iberian Peninsula is reported. Capniomyces celatus was found in Nemouridae (Plecoptera) nymphs, Stipella latispora in Simuliidae (Diptera) larvae and Legeriomyces dolabrae with Baetidae (Ephemeroptera) nymphs. These species are differentiated from others by thalli and/or reproductive structures. Geographic range extensions for other species of Harpellales also are reported; these are Graminella bulbosa, Pennella angustispora, Spartiella barbata, Stachylina euthena, St. grandispora, St. pedifer, St. penetralis, St. prolifica, St. robusta and Stipella vigilans. All are compared with related taxa and are illustrated with photographs. Finally a summary of the known Harpellales occurring in the Iberian territory is provided with data on their distribution and ecology.     

New Coleoptera records from New Brunswick, Canada: Trogossitidae, Cleridae, and Melyridae, with an addition to the fauna of Nova Scotia

Grynocharis quadrilineata (Melsheimer) and Tenebroides corticalis (Melsheimer) of the family Trogossitidae are newly recorded for New Brunswick, Canada. Additional records of the recently reported Calitys scabra (Thunberg)and Ostoma fraterna (Randall) are presented for the province. The record of Ostoma fraterna is the first recent record of this species from New Brunswick. Additional New Brunswick records of the thaneroclerine, Zenodosus sanguineus (Say), are given, indicting that this species is common and widespread in the province. One species of Cleridae, Cymatodera bicolor (Say),is newly reported from New Brunswick, and the adventive Thanasimus formicarius Linnaeus is newly recorded from Nova Scotia and the Maritime provinces. Attalus morulus (LeConte) and Dolichosoma foveicolle (Kirby), family Melyridae, are reported for the first time for New Brunswick and the Maritime provinces. Collection, habitat data, and distribution maps are presented for these species.     

Occurrence of the pugnose pipefish Bryx dunckeri in the Sargasso Sea

Juvenile specimens of the pugnose pipefish, Bryx dunckeri, were collected during a multipurpose research survey conducted within the Sargasso Sea Subtropical Convergence Zone, extending the known distribution range of this species to include open ocean areas of the Western North Atlantic. Novel spatial data are of scientific interest as information on the distribution, population structure, and population size of this species is limited. Additionally, we present detailed photographs and morphological data on the collected specimens. The results are discussed in relation to the dispersal abilities and population structure in syngnathids.

Biology of Macrourid Fishes

bottom fishes in the world. The great majority are benthopelagic,with a few bathypelagic members. Benthopelagic species are usuallyendemic, and most common on continental slopes, whereas bathypelagicspecies are more cosmopolitan in distribution. The center ofdistribution for Macrourids is in the Indo-Pacific region. Littleis known of their life history; eggs are thought to ascend afterfertilization and develop in the midwatcr below 200 m. Althoughfew gut content analyses of adults have been performed, finstructure and photographs indicate that they feed mostly onbottom invertebrates.

中国拟扁枝衣属的研究

拟扁枝衣属Pseudevernia隶属于子囊菌门Ascomycota,茶渍目Lecanorales,梅衣科Parmeliaceae。迄今已知6种,即粉芽拟扁枝衣P.soralifera、细拟扁枝衣P.cladonia、粗拟扁枝衣P.intensa、茶渍拟扁枝衣P.consocians、橄榄陶拟扁枝衣P.olivetorina及拟扁枝衣P.furfuracea。后三种地衣之界定是在形态特征相似但仍有区别的前提下,以其各自所含次生代谢产物之不同与地理分布区之差异为根据的。茶渍拟扁枝衣含有茶渍酸;裂芽发育良好而密度中等;裂片狭窄,为北美所特有。橄榄陶拟扁枝衣含橄榄陶酸;裂芽较稀少;裂片狭长;分布区以北欧为主,延伸至北非及西亚,如巴基斯坦。而拟扁枝衣则含袋衣酸;形态多变;分布区以南欧洲为主,遍布于整个欧洲,向南延伸至北非,向东延伸至亚洲,如蒙古等。本文首次报道了该属地衣在中国的分布。文中除了对拟扁枝衣进行形态、化学及分布类型的描述外,还配有该种的照片以及该属已知种的检索表。
