A NEW SPECIES OF ARRHOPALITES FROM MT. CHANGBAI,CHINA (COLLEMBOLA:SMINTHURIDAE)*

Abstract A new species, Arrhopalites chungbaishanensis is described from Mt. Changbai, northeast China. The present species shares some characters with A. octacanthus, but it differs from the latter by the number of vertical thick spines and manubrial dorsal setae, types of dental setae and the absence of tunica on unguis. In comparison with the other congeneric species, the mast striking character of the present species is its special shapes of the C-series setae besetting on sixth abdominal segment.     

Morphological diversity of setae on the second maxilliped of fiddler crabs (Decapoda: Ocypodidae) from the southwestern Atlantic coast

Fiddler crabs are deposit feeders, and use the setae on their mouth appendages to manipulate sediment particles to extract food. The number of spoon‐tipped setae on the second maxilliped is frequently related to the distribution of fiddler crabs on estuarine sediments, but no study has compared the morphological diversity of these setae among multiple fiddler crab species. Here, we describe and classify the setae of the second maxillipeds of the nine Uca spp. known from the Brazilian coast. The second maxilliped of each species was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Six types of setae (five papposerrate, and one pappose) were described on the meropodite of the second maxilliped. Among the papposerrate setae, one type had a spoon‐like tip, and the morphology of this type, especially the degree of curvature, differed between species. Members of Uca leptodactylus, U. uruguayensis, and U. maracoani had highly concave spoon‐tipped setae. In U. rapax and U. cumulanta, the setal tip was moderately curved, while in U. thayeri, U. burgersi, and U. mordax, this curvature was slight. At the other extreme, the meropodite of the second maxilliped of U. vocator lacked setae altogether. This is the first study that describes differences in the degree of curvature of spoon‐tipped setae in fiddler crabs. This trait may be strongly related to the distribution of these fiddler crabs on different estuarine substrates.

Idiosomal setae in the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata): variation,geographical distribution and taxonomic considerations

Phytoseiidae classification is based on idiosoma chaetotaxy and the assumed evolutionary process is seta suppression. This article aims to determine how depilation could have taken place depending on seta position, subfamily and region. For this, the occurrence of 21 variable setae on dorsal and ventral shields was determined for 1996 species in seven biogeographical regions. The occurrence of eight rare setae assumed to be past relics and 11 rarely absent setae (assumed to be undergoing a loss process) was analysed. The subfamily Phytoseiinae has ‘lost’ the highest number of primitive setae, the subfamily Amblyseiinae has ‘retained’ the highest number and Typhlodrominae has an intermediate position, except for the seta z6. The subfamily Phytoseiinae shows the highest number of setae undergoing a loss process, whereas the subfamily Typhlodrominae has lost these setae in 674 species and subfamily Amblyseiinae in 415 species, making this latter subfamily that with the most retained dorsal setae. According to spatial seta occurrence, it could be hypothesized that Amblyseiinae originated from South Gondwana, Typhlodrominae from the Euro‐America region (Laurasia zone) and Phytoseiinae from the Ethiopian area. The presently admitted classification of Phytoseiidae is discussed with regard to the occurrence of rarely present setae (assumed to have been lost in high frequency). © 2014 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2014, 112 , 606–624.     

A new podapolipid species (Acari) on Scarabaeus (Scarabaeus) acuticollis (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) from Iran

A new species of mites of the genus Tarsopolipus (Acari: Prostigmata: Podapolipidae) is described from southern Iran. Tarsopolipus husbandi Mortazavi and Hajiqanbar n. sp. is a sub-elytral ectoparasite of the scarabaeid beetle, Scarabaeus (Scarabaeus) acuticollis. The new species is closely related to Tarsopolipus corrugatus Berlese 1911, but is distinguished from it by the following characters. Adult female: presence of vestigial setae v(2) and shorter setae sc(2). Adult male: presence of setae v' on tibia IV and shorter setae sc(2) and c(2). Larval female: shorter cheliceral stylets and longer distance between setae v(1) and ch. Species of Tarsopolipus are currently distributed in Afro-tropical, Palaearctic, and Oriental regions and parasitize species in 3 genera of scarabaeid beetles, i.e., Scarabaeus , Kheper, and Drepanopodes, all belonging to the tribe Scarabaeini.     

Viracochiella orientalis, a new species of oribatid mites (Acariformes, Oribatida) of the family Ceratozetidae from Sakhalin

A new species, Viracochiella orientalis sp. n., from the southern part of Sakhalin is described. The species differs in the shape of cuspises with strong medial teeth and in the absence of translamellae. The smooth notogaster, shorter interlamellar and genital setae, and some other characters distinguish this species from V. tuberculata. This species differs from V. sergienkoae in the number of genital setae (V. sergienkoae has five pairs), shorter interlamellar setae, smooth trichobothria, fine pore areas without borders of sclerotization, and thin hysterosomal setae.

Evaluation of a new character for the phylogenetic analysis of Ostracoda (Crustacea): the podocopan maxillular branchial plate

A data set of the number of setae on the maxillular branchial plate of podocopan ostracods was compiled from published drawings and our own dissections. A total of 168 species in six superfamilies were covered, with the Cytheroidea, Cypridoidea and Bairdioidea being best represented. The number of setae is shown to be independent of the size of the ostracod and the environment in which the species lives, but to have phylogenetic significance at superfamily level. Ontogenetic data suggest that the low number of branchial plate setae in many cytheroidean families is a paedomorphic phenomenon.     

The family Capilloventridae (Annelida, Clitellata) in Australia, with descriptions of two new species of Capilloventer

Two new freshwater species of the small family Capilloventridae are recorded from rivers in south-eastern Australia. Capilloventer acheronensis sp. n. has all hair setae anteriorly and dissimilar crotchet setae without hairs posteriorly while Capilloventer longicapitus sp. n. has an elongate prostomium, very long hair setae anteriorly and all bifid setae posteriorly. Immature specimens from south-west Western Australia appear to represent a further species and are tentatively included within the family. Additional specimens of Capilloventer australis Erséus, 1993 have allowed some features (setae, segmental glands, genitalia and ventral buccal organ) to be described in more detail. The new C. australis specimens are from the upper reaches of Victorian rivers, showing that it is a freshwater species, rather than a marine incursion as the estuarine type locality suggested. There are now more freshwater species than marine species, although the origin and phylogenetic relationships of the family remain unclear.     

A new species of Coccidohystrix (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) intercepted in Japan from Pachypodium spp. (Gentianales: Apocynaceae) imported from Madagascar

A new species of Coccidohystrix Lindinger, intercepted by plant quarantine in Japan from imported Madagascar plant species, Pachypodium inopinatum Lavranos (Apocynaceae), and Pachypodium sp., is herein described and illustrated based on adult female. The new species is quite distinct in the genus in having anterior and posterior ostioles and trilocular pores on marginal cerarii and on elevated dorsal cerarii. The species is similar to Coccidohystrix primigenia Gavrilov-Zimin from Madagascar in having some morphological features mentioned above. However, the new species differs from C. primigenia in lacking multilocular pores on the dorsum, having fewer circuli, having numerous translucent pores on the back side surface of the hind tibiae, having 7–9 conical setae on anal lobe marginal cerarii, having only 2–3 conical setae on penultimate cerarii and having only 1–5 (mostly 1–2) conical setae on submarginal dorsal cerarii. An identification key for the genus, including the new species, is also provided.www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:9CEDFC41-D0C9-4569-9E7D-317B02AE424F     

A new species of thrip, genus Frankliniella (group Cephalica; Thysanoptera: Thripidae) from Costa Rica

A new species of the Frankliniella cephalica group, from Central Costa Rica, is described under the name "Frankliniella morerai n.sp.". It is closely related to Frankliniella sandovalensis. Both species have translucent bodies, but the new species can be distinguished by these characteristics: setae io II in position 1/2, a complete comb on abdominal segment VIII, antennal segments without coloration and setae po IV longer. It was found in low density in crops of chilli, tomato, lettuce, sweet potato and coriander. A comparative table with other species of this group is included to facilitate diagnosis.     

On the genus Eumyllocerus Sharp （Coleoptera： Curculionidae： Entiminae） with description of two new species from China

Two new species of the genus Eumyllocerus Sharp, 1896, of the subfamily Entiminae Schoenherr, 1823, are described from China. Eumyllocerus longisetus sp. n. may be distinguished from other species of the genus by its long bristle-like, erect setae on the intervals, each of which is longer than the width of the second interval, the setae arrangedin double rows, and its shell-like, shiny, dense, metallic green scales. Eumyllocerus rotundicorpus sp. n. may be distinguished from any other Eumyllocerus species by its oval and inflated elytral shape, short stout metepisternum, small humeri, elytral setae shorter than 0.5 times the width of the second interval, the setae arranged in double rows, and its golden copper and pearl gray scales. The taxonomy of the genus is discussed. The two new species are described and habitus photographs and figures of diagnostic characters are provided. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (holotype and paratypes) and the Korean Entomological Institute, Korea University, Seoul, Korea (paratypes).

Morphology and distribution of antennular setae of scyllarid lobsters (Scyllarides aequinoctialis, S. latus, and S. nodifer) with comments on their possible function

Abstract. Lateral flagella of the antennules of scyllarid lobsters were examined for setal morphology and distribution via scanning electron microscopy. Setal distribution patterns were mapped directly for 3 regions of the antennule ( base, tuft , and tip ) and analyzed for differences: (1) between left and right antennules, (2) between males and females within a species, and (3) among species by comparing counts of setae per annulus in the ventral tuft region only. Six types of antennular setae were identified based on their external morphology: aesthetases, simple, modified simple, asymmetric, hemi-plumose, and toothbrush setae. These different types were organized in a clear pattern over the ventral and dorsal surfaces of the lateral flagella of the antennule. Aesthetase, asymmetric, modified simple, and hemi-plumose setae were found only on annuli in the tuft region between the distal and proximal ends of the flagellum. Simple setae were found on all annuli of all regions of the antennule, and toothbrush setae were mainly concentrated on all annuli of the base region and on proximal annuli of the tuft region . All species of scyllarids examined had the same general pattern of setal distribution and no differences were found between left and right, or male and female antennules. Similar setae located on the lateral antennules of species from the families Nephrophidae and Palinuridae (clawed and spiny lobsters) have been previously described as chemo- and/or mechanoreceptive for use in distance chemoreception (i.e., detection and orientation to olfactory stimuli). Based on work on clawed and spiny lobsters, we predict that the aesthetases on slipper lobsters have a chemoreceptive function and that simple and toothbrush setae may have a bimodal chemo- and mechanoreceptive function.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Foxtosognus rarus</Emphasis> gen. n., sp. n.—A new genus and species of copepods (Copepoda: Calanoida) from the abyssopelagic zone of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench

A female of Foxtosognus rarus gen. n., sp. n., a new genus and species of copepods, is described from the abyss of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. The new genus is placed in the family Arctokonstantinidae, whose diagnosis is emended and supplemented with the following characters: mandibular basis with one to two setae; mandibular endopod one without setae; maxillular distal basal endite plus endopod with two to four setae or without setae. The features that distinguish Foxtosognusgen. n. from other representatives of this family are as follows: mandibular palp with a long endopod segment one, endopod segment two with seven setae, and exopod segment five with two setae; maxillula with distal basal endite lacking setae and separated from endopod bearing three setae; maxillular precoxal arthrite with seven to eight setae and exopod with four setae; maxilliped syncoxa without setae on precoxal endites and endopod of three segments. The genera Sognocalanus and Foxtonia earlier included in the Spinocalanidae are herein transferred to the Arctokonstantinidae.     

A new species of Inonotus (Hymenochaetaceae) from Scandinavia

The new species Inonotus ulmicola belongs to the Inonotus obliquus complex. It is separated by the presence of solitary tramal setae, and by growing on Ulmus , and is reported from Denmark and Sweden. A survey is presented of the species of Inonotus growing in trunk cavities and beneath the bark, and a classification of the setae is proposed.
