The systematic position of some newly discovered Serica species from the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau (Sichuan, China) is explored through a phylogenetic analysis based on 117 morphological characters using the parsimony criterion. The resulting consensus tree of this analysis reveals that three of these taxa belong to the lineage of Taiwanoserica as supposed initially due to their general external appearance. Based on the occurrence of related taxa and on the topology of Taiwanoserica taxa as well, it must be assumed that Taiwanoserica originated also in the eastern Tibetan mountains. Four new species are described: Serica (sensu lato) silviae n. sp., Serica (Taiwanoserica) wenchuanensis n. sp., Serica (Taiwanoserica) sigipinensis n. sp., Serica (Taiwanoserica) chengtuensis n. sp. 相似文献

During large‐scale examinations of male genitalia for taxonomic studies of Sericini chafers (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), we have found that reversals of directed left–right (LR) asymmetry in male copulatory organs are compared to other insects not common. However, such inversions do occur occasionally and they must be considered a significant ‘source of error’ in taxonomic studies. Our data indicate asymmetry reversal of male genitalia affects only the abdominal segments (genitalia) as changes in asymmetric structures of the head and thorax were not observed. Based on these observations, we believe that this partial abdominal LR asymmetry reversal of terminalia could be due to a local change in the polarity determining LR patterning in the growth zone of posterior abdominal segments as development of these segments begins. 相似文献
