A revision of Nazeris. VI. On the fauna of East Yunnan, China (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae).
Get PDFEine im Sommer 2014 durchgeführte Exkursion im östlichen Yunnan (Südwest-China), einer Region, aus der bisher erst eine Art der Gattung Nazeris Fauvel, 1873 bekannt war, erbrachte insgesamt dreizehn unbeschriebene Nazeris- Arten, von denen elf beschrieben und abgebildet werden: N. brevilobatus sp. n. (Umgebung Dongchuan), N. virilis sp. n. (Umgebung Wuding), N. constrictus sp. n. (Umgebung Gejiu), N. claviger sp. n. (Umgebung Gejiu) und N. discissus sp. n. (Umgebung Pingbian) der neu begründeten N. brevilobatus-Gruppe; N. lamellatus sp. n. (Umgebung Pingbian) der neu begründeten N. lamellatus-Gruppe; N. semifissus sp. n. (Umgebung Pingbian) der neu begründeten N. semifissus-Gruppe; N. fibulatus sp. n. (Umgebung Kunming), N. bulbosus sp. n. (Umgebung Kunming), N. clavilobatus sp. n. (Umgebung Dongchuan) und N. conicus sp. n. (Umgebung Xundian) aus der N. cangicus-Gruppe. Zusammen mit N. zhangi Watanabe & Xiao, 1993 bilden die drei letztgenannten Arten eine phylogenetische Linie innerhalb der N. cangicus-Gruppe. Zwei ausschließlich durch Weibchen vertretene Arten bleiben unbeschrieben. Die derzeit bekannte allgemeine Verbreitung der Gattung in Yunnan sowie die Lage der Fundorte der neubeschriebenen Arten werden anhand von Karten illustriert. Nazeris enthält nunmehr insgesamt 233 beschriebene Arten (mit sieben Unterarten), von denen 118 Arten in China (ohne Taiwan) vorkommen. Aus Yunnan sind derzeit 45 beschriebene Arten bekannt.StichwörterColeoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Nazeris, Palaearctic region, China, Yunnan, taxonomy, new species, species groups, distribution maps, diversityNomenklatorische Handlungenbrevilobatus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.bulbosus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.claviger Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.clavilobatus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.conicus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.constrictus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.discissus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.fibulatus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.lamellatus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.semifissus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.virilis Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.A recent field trip to eastern Yunnan (Southwest China), a region from where only one species of Nazeris Fauvel, 1873 had been known, yielded thirteen undescribed Nazeris species, eleven of which are described and illustrated: N. brevilobatus sp. n. (Dongchuan env.), N. virilis sp. n. (Wuding env.), N. constrictus sp. n. (Gejiu env.), N. claviger sp. n. (Gejiu env.), and N. discissus sp. n.

(Xundian env.) of the N. cangicus group. Together with N. zhangi Watanabe & Xiao, 1993, the latter three species form a distinct lineage within the N. cangicus group. Two species remain unnamed, as they are represented exclusively by females. The general distribution of the genus in Yunnan and the individual distributions of the newly described species are mapped. Nazeris now includes a total of 233 described species (plus seven subspecies), 118 of which have been recorded from mainland China. The fauna of Yunnan currently comprises 45 described species.KeywordsColeoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Nazeris, Palaearctic region, China, Yunnan, taxonomy, new species, species groups, distribution maps, diversityNomenclatural Actsbrevilobatus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.bulbosus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.claviger Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.clavilobatus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.conicus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.constrictus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.discissus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.fibulatus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.lamellatus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.semifissus Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n.virilis Assing, 2014 (Nazeris), spec. n

NC-Clustering demonstrates heterospecificity of the cryptic ant species Temnothorax luteus (FOREL, 1874) and T. racovitzai (BONDROIT, 1918) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
Get PDFEs wird gezeigt, dass die westmediterranen kryptischen Ameisenarten Temnothorax luteus (Forel, 1874) und T. racovitzai (Bondroit, 1918) mittels explorativer und hypothesengetriebener Analysen komplexer morphologischer Datensätze eindeutig unterscheidbar sind. Die Untersuchung konzentrierte sich auf das sympatrische Areal beider Arten. An 178 Arbeiterinnen aus 64 Nestproben wurden 18 morphologische Merkmale erfasst. Nach Reduktion auf die sieben meistseparierenden Merkmale ergab sich eine 100 %ige Übereinstimmung der Klassifizierungen durch hierarchische NC-Ward-, nicht hierarchische NC-K-Means- und NC-NMDS-K-Means Clusteranalyse sowie durch eine lineare Diskriminanzanalyse. Die Typenserien von T. massiliensis (Bondroit, 1918) und T. racovitzai (Bondroit, 1918) wurden mit einer a posteriori Wahrscheinlichkeit von p = 1.0000 bzw. p = 0.9992 dem gleichen Cluster zugeordnet. Die Typenserien von T. tristis (Bondroit, 1918) und T. luteus wurden beide mit p = 0.9999 einem zweiten, deutlich vom ersteren separierten Cluster zugeordnet. Daraus ergibt sich, dass T. tristis ein jüngeres Synonym von T. luteus und T. massiliensis ein jüngeres Synonym von T. racovitzai ist. Der Klassifikationsfehler auf der Ebene der Individuen betrug 1.7 % an 178 Arbeiterinnen. Trotz einer breiten Überlappung der Verbreitungsgebiete gibt es keine Hinweise auf phänotypisch gemischte Nester, was die Hypothese widerlegt, dass T. luteus and T. racovitzai einen intraspezifischen Polymorphismus repräsentieren könnten. Es wurden signifikante interspezifische Unterschiede in der geographischen Verbreitung und der thermischen Nischenkomponente gezeigt. Die mittlere Lufttemperatur von Mai bis August von 24 Fundorten von T. luteus war im Mittel um 3.77°C kälter als die von 21 Fundorten von T. racovitzai (pEvidence is presented that the W Mediterranean cryptic ant species Temnothorax luteus (Forel, 1874) and T. racovitzai (Bondroit, 1918) are clearly separable by exploratory and hypothesis-driven data analyses of complex morphological data sets. Investigation was concentrated to the sympatric range of both species. 18 morphological characters were evaluated in a total of 178 workers originating from 64 nest samples. Classifications by hierarchical NC-Ward clustering, non-hierarchical NC-K-Means clustering, NC-NMDS-K-Means clustering and linear discriminant analysis coincided by 100 % after reduction of the character set to the seven most discriminative characters. The type series of T. massiliensis (Bondroit, 1918) and T. racovitzai (Bondroit, 1918) were assigned to the same cluster with posterior probabilities of p = 1.000 in the former and p = 0.9992 in the latter. The type series of T. tristis (Bondroit, 1918) and T. luteus were allocated to another, clearly separated cluster with p = 0.9999 in each case. Accordingly, T. tristis is considered as junior synonym of T. luteus whereas T. massiliensis was established as junior synonym of T. racovitzai. The classification error of the LDA was 1.7 % in 178 individuals. Despite a broad sympatric range, there are no suggestions to any nest samples containing a mixture of both phenotypes. This rejects the hypothesis that T. luteus and T. racovitzai could represent an intraspecific dimorphism. Significant interspecific differences of the two species in geographic distribution and thermal niche were demonstrated. Mean air temperature from May to August of 24 sampling sites of T. luteus was by 3.77°C cooler than in 21 sites of T. racovitzai (

the Neotropical osorine complex (species formerly placed under the genus Osorius) all species are described and keys to the species are provided that are now included in the genus Osoriellus. Ten species groups were separated: Osoriellus-coronatus-group with O. coronatus as new species; O.-laeviusculus-group containing 2 species with O. schubarti as new species; O.-oculatus-group containing 5 species with O. hanagarthi, O. ocularis, O. denticornis and O. sexdentatus as new species; O.-bicornis-group with 8 new species O. bicornis, O. spinosus, O. corniculatus, O. bovis, O. cornutus, O. sinuatus, O. sinuatoangularis, and O. subsinuatus; O.-hirtulus-group with 6 species including O. setulosus, O. setifer, O. pubicollis, O. setosus, and O. pubescens as new species; O.-granarius-group containing three new species O. granarius, O. cornifrons, and O. granarius; O.-guiananus-group with 8 species including O. diversus, O. macrops, O. longipunctatus, O. melancholicus, and O. silvaticus as new species; O.-mrazi-group with the single new species O. mrazi; O.-s. str.-group containing 51 species with O. punctatellus, O. indescriptus, O. coruscus, O. luteus, O. asperatus, O. coriaceus, O. latitibialis, O. grossopunctatus, O. surinamensis, O. flaveolus, O. huggerti, O. obtusicollis, O. levyi, O. loksai, O. bicolor, O. ashei, O. humicola, O. boliviensis, O. parumpunctatus, O. tuxtlae, O. multipunctatus, O. triangulatus, O. majusculus, O. trapezoides, O. rubripennis, O. seriatus, O. verhaaghi, O. fumarius, O. caliginosus, O. rougemonti, and O. opacus as new species; remaining-species-group with 20 species including O. orbiculatus, O. opticus, O. digitatus, O. acutus, O. rectangulus, O. rufescens, O. loreti, O. adustus, O. lescheni, O. infuscatus, O. opacinotus, and O. sticticus as new species. The species O. acupunctus (Bernhauer, 1933) and O. ogloblini (Bernhauer 1933) are syonym to O. argentinus (Bernhauer, 1911), O. laeviceps (Notman, 1925) is synonym to O. eggersi (Bernhauer, 1904), O. mundus (Sharp, 1887) is synonym to O. latipes (Gravenhorst, 1806), O. lynchi (Bernhauer, 1933) is synonym to O. neotropicus (Bernhauer, 1908). Overall, 71 species are newly described contributing to the 105 species of the genus in the Neotropical region. The ten species groups, geographic aspects and the species richness of the genus are discussed.KeywordsNeotropis, new species, geographic distribution, Osoriinae, biodiversityNomenclatural Actsacutus

Revision der neotropischen Trauermücken – Teil I. Die Gattungen Cratyna WINNERTZ, Euricrium ENDERLEIN, Metangela RÜBSAAMEN, Pseudosciara SCHINER und Sciara MEIGEN (Diptera: Sciaridae).
Get PDFDie vorliegende Revision umfasst 40 Arten aus den Gattungen Cratyna Winnertz, 1867 [4 Arten], Euricrium Enderlein, 1911 [8 Arten], Metangela Rübsaamen, 1894 [4 Arten], Pseudosciara Schiner, 1866 [21 Arten] und Sciara Meigen, 1803 [3 Arten]. Die Arten werden redeskribiert und abgebildet. 63 Spezies wurden neu kombiniert und 4 Namen als neue Synonyma auf dem Artniveau erkannt: Plastosciara barretoi Lane, 1960 als neues Synonym zu Cratyna boracensis (Lane, 1960); Plastosciara downsi Lane, 1960 als neues Synonym zu Cratyna cucarisi (Lane, 1960), Euricrium fulgescens Enderlein, 1911 als neues Synonym zu Euricrium ruebsaameni (Enderlein, 1911); Pseudosciara aitkeni Lane, 1959 als neues Synonym zu Pseudosciara forceps (Pettey, 1918). Zusätzlich werden 3 synonymisierte Namen restituiert [Metangela spinata Lane, 1955 restit., Pseudosciara ribeiroi (Lane, 1955) restit., Trichomegalosphys Enderlein, 1911 restit.] und 2 präokkupierte Namen wurden ersetzt: Pseudos. willistoni Menzel nom. nov. für Sciara concinna Williston, 1896 [praeocc.] und Pseudos. helleri Menzel nom. nov. für Sciara debilis Williston, 1896 [praeocc.]. Außerdem ergab sich die Notwendigkeit, für Pseudosciara willistoni Menzel nom. nov. einen Lectotypus zu designieren sowie für Pseudosciara muricata (Lengersdorf, 1926), Pseudosciara thoracica (Lengersdorf, 1930) und Metangela bicolorata (Lengersdorf, 1930) Neotypen festzulegen. Für 2 Arten werden die bisher unbekannten Männchen ergänzend beschrieben [Euricrium varians (Lane), Pseudosciara humeropicta (Lengersdorf)]. Die Namen der Gattungsgruppe Zygomma Enderlein, 1911 [praeocc.], Mapiria Edwards, 1934 und Muhabbetiola Koçak, 2009 sind jüngere Synonyme von Euricrium Enderlein, 1911. Die Gattung Pseudosciara Schiner wird in die beiden Subgenera Pseudosciara s. str. und Pseudosciarella subgen. nov. unterteilt. Die Genera Apelmocreagris Enderlein, 1911, Trichomegalosphys Enderlein, 1911 und Trichosia Winnertz, 1867 sind nach dieser Revision in der neotropischen Region nicht vertreten. Diese 3 Namen müssen aus dem Katalog der neotropischen Sciaridae gestrichen werden. Die Gattung Pseudozygoneura Steffan, 1969 ist ebenfalls ein Synonym zu Cratyna Winnertz. Alle 41 von Hippa et al. (1998) beschriebenen Pseudozygoneura-Arten werden deshalb in das Subgenus Cratyna s. str. kombiniert.StichwörterDiptera, Sciaridae, Apelmocreagris, Cratyna, Euricrium, Metangela, Pseudosciara, Sciara,

1894 [4 species], Pseudosciara Schiner, 1866 [21 species] and Sciara Meigen, 1803 [3 species]. The species are redescribed and illustrated. Sixty-three species are newly combined and four names identified as synonyms: Plastosciara barretoi Lane, 1960 is a new synonym of Cratyna boracensis (Lane, 1960); Plastosciara downsi Lane, 1960 is a new synonym of Cratyna cucarisi (Lane, 1960); Euricrium fulgescens Enderlein is a new synonym of Euricrium ruebsaameni (Enderlein); Pseudosc. aitkeni Lane, 1959 is a new synonym of Pseudosc. forceps (Pettey, 1918). In addition, 3 names are raised from synonymy [Metangela spinata Lane, 1955 restit., Pseudosc. ribeiroi (Lane, 1955) restit., Trichomegalosphys Enderlein, 1911 restit.], and 2 preoccupied names were replaced: Pseudos. willistoni Menzel nom. nov. for Sciara concinna Williston, 1896 [preocc.] and Pseudos. helleri Menzel nom. nov. for Sciara debilis Williston, 1896 [preocc.]. It was further found necessary to designate a lectotype for Pseudosc. willistoni Menzel nom. nov. and neotypes for Pseudosc. muricata (Lengersdorf, 1926), Pseudosciara thoracica (Lengersdorf, 1930) and Metangela bicolorata (Lengersdorf, 1930). Unknown males of two species are described and illustrated [Euricrium varians (Lane), Pseudosc. humeropicta (Lengersdorf)]. The genus group names Zygomma Enderlein, 1911 [preocc], Mapiria Edwards, 1934 and Muhabbetiola Koçak, 2009 are junior synonyms of Euricrium Enderlein, 1911. The genus Pseudosciara Schiner was split into two subgenera Pseudosciara s. str. and Pseudosciarella subgen. nov. After this revision the genera Apelmocreagris Enderlein, 1911, Trichomegalosphys Enderlein, 1911 and Trichosia Winnertz, 1867 are not represented within the Neotropical region and must be deleted from the catalog of Neotropical sciarids. The genus Pseudozygoneura Steffan, 1969 is also a synonym of Cratyna Winnertz. The 41 described species of Pseudozygoneura revised by Hippa et al. (1998) are therefore new combined in the subgenus Cratyna s. str.KeywordsDiptera, Sciaridae, Apelmocreagris, Cratyna, Euricrium, Metangela, Pseudosciara, Sciara, Trichomegalosphys, Neotropical Region,

New species and records of Lathrobium from the Palaearctic region, primarily from Nepal (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae).
Get PDFAchtzehn Arten der Gattung Lathrobium Gravenhorst, 1802 aus Nepal (16 Nepal) und China (2 Arten) werden beschrieben und abgebildet: L. semicirculatum sp. n. (Ostnepal; L. nepalense-Gruppe); L. constrictum sp. n. (Ostnepal; L. discissum-Gruppe); L. descendens sp. n. (Westnepal; L. deuvei-Gruppe); L. ascendens sp. n.

(China: Yunnan: Gaoligong Shan; Gruppenzugehörigkeit ungeklärt); L. smetanai sp. n. (China: Gansu: Dalija Shan; L. lentum-Gruppe). Lathrobium aculeatum Coiffait, 1982 wird neu beschrieben und abgebildet. Neues Material von L. calcaratum Assing, 2012 deutet darauf hin, dass der Holotypus dieser Art vermutlich falsch etikettitiert und dass daher auch die Typuslokalität irrtümlich ist. Die bisher der L. aculeatum-Gruppe zugeordneten Arten werden in die L. pectinatum-Gruppe transferiert; die L. aculeatum-Gruppe wird aufgegeben. Die Körpergröße einiger Arten der L. pectinatum- Gruppe ist sexualdimorph. Weitere Nachweise von sechs beschriebenen Arten werden aus dem Westkaukasus (2 Arten) und aus Nepal (4 Arten) gemeldet. Einschließlich der neu beschriebenen Arten ist die Gattung derzeit im Himalaya mit 68 Arten (in zehn Artengruppen), in China mit 189 und in der gesamten Paläarktis mit 536 beschriebenen Arten und zehn Unterarten vertreten.StichwörterColeoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Lathrobiina, Lathrobium, Palaearctic region, Nepal, China, Caucasus, taxonomy, new species, species groups, sexual size dimorphism, diversity, new records.Nomenklatorische Handlungenabruptum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.ascendens Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.constrictum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.curvaculeatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.descendens Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.eques Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.equitans Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.flexaculeatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.glabimpressum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.hebes Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.imberbe Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.kemum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.latibasale Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.plicatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.rectaculeatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.rude Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.semicirculatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.smetanai Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.Eighteen species of Lathrobium Gravenhorst, 1802 from Nepal (16 species) and China (2 species) are described and illustrated: L. semicirculatum sp. n.

(China: Yunnan: Gaoligong Shan; group assignment uncertain); L. smetanai sp. n. (China: Gansu: Dalija Shan; L. lentum group). Based on new material, a redescription and new illustrations of L. aculeatum Coiffait, 1982 are provided. Recently collected material of L. calcaratum Assing, 2012 suggests that the holotype of this species may have been mislabelled and that, consequently, the type locality is erroneous. The species previously assigned to the L. aculeatum group are moved to the L. pectinatum group, and the L. aculeatum group is discarded. Several species of the L. pectinatum group were found to be subject to a sexual dimorphism of body size. Additional records of six named species are reported from the West Caucasus (2 species) and from Nepal (4 species). Including the newly described species, the genus is currently represented in the Himalaya by 68 species in ten species groups, in China by 189 species, and in the Palaearctic region by 536 named species and ten subspecies.KeywordsColeoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Lathrobiina, Lathrobium, Palaearctic region, Nepal, China, Caucasus, taxonomy, new species, species groups, sexual size dimorphism, diversity, new records.Nomenclatural Actsabruptum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.ascendens Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.constrictum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.curvaculeatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.descendens Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.eques Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.equitans Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.flexaculeatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.glabimpressum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.hebes Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.imberbe Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.kemum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.latibasale Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.plicatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.rectaculeatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.rude Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.semicirculatum Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n.smetanai Assing, 2014 (Lathrobium), spec. n
