Pison dominimenke, a new crabronid wasp in Dominican amber (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae).
No full textEine neue Crabronide, Pison menkei sp. n., wird anhand eines einzelnen Weibchens aus dem Dominikanischen Bernstein des frühen Miozän (Burdigalian) beschrieben. Das Fossil unterscheidet sich deutlich von rezenten und ausgestorbenen Vertretern der Gruppe und wird als isolierte Form betrachtet, die abseits von modernen neotropischen Artengruppen steht. Es handelt sich um die siebente benannte fossile Pison-Art, die zweite aus Dominikanischem Bernstein.StichwörterFossil, paleontology, taxonomy, Tertiary, Miocene, Apoidea.Nomenklatorische Handlungenmenkei Bennett & Engel, 2008 (Pison), spec. n.A new crabronid wasp species, Pison menkei sp. n., is described and figured from a single female preserved in Early Miocene (Burdigalian) Dominican amber. The fossil is herein distinguished from extant and extinct congeners and regarded as an isolated species removed from modern Neotropical species groups. It is the seventh named fossil Pison and the second from Dominican amber.KeywordsFossil, paleontology, taxonomy, Tertiary, Miocene, Apoidea.Nomenclatural Actsmenkei Bennett & Engel, 2008 (Pison), spec. n
A new species of Eufriesea from Jalisco, México, with a key to Mexican species of the genus (Hymenoptera: Apidae).
Get PDFEs wird eine neue Art der Prachtbienengattung Eufriesea Cockerell (Apidae: Apinae: Euglossini) beschrieben. Eufriesea micheneri sp. n. ähnelt allgemein E. caerulescens (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau) mit ihrem dunklen blauen, purpurn irisierendem Integument, unterscheidet sich aber durch die schwarze Behaarung, dunkle Flügel und beim Männchen durch das grüne Gesicht und die Terminalia. Die neue Art ist bisher von der Sierra del Tuito im Staat Jalisco, Mexiko, bekannt, einem westlichen Teil des Transverse Volcanic Belt. Ein Bestimmungsschlüssel der mexikanischen Eufriesea-Arten ist in Englisch und Spanisch angefügt.ResumenSe describe una nueva especie de abeja del género Eufriesea Cockerell (Apidae: Apinae: Euglossini) con integumento azul oscuro e iridiscencia morada, similar en apariencia a Eufriesea caerulescens (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau), de la cual puede ser fácilmente diferenciada por presentar pubescencia negra, alas más oscuras y en el caso de los machos el área facial con integumento verde metálico. Esta especie se conoce únicamente para la Sierra del Tuito, en el extremo más Oeste del Eje Volcánico Transversal, en el estado de Jalisco, México.

Houseflies of the Tristan da Cunha Islands: new records, including the first for Fannia albitarsis Stein, 1911 (Diptera: Fanniidae, Muscidae).
Get PDFIn der Arbeit werden historische und aktuelle Funde von Hausfliegen der Familien Fanniidae und Muscidae auf den Inseln der Tristan da Cunha-Gruppe im Südatlantik zusammengefaßt und diskutiert. Das aktuelle Material wurde 2005 auf den nördlichen Inseln, Tristan da Cunha und Nightingale, gesammelt. Insgesamt sind fünf Arten in vier Gattungen nachgewiesen, einschließlich der Erstnachweise von Fannia albitarsis Stein, 1911 innerhalb des Archipels und von Muscina stabulans (Fallén, 1817) auf der Insel Nightingale. Die korrekte taxonomische Einordnung von Coenosia trina Wiedemann, 1830 wird diskutiert. Auf die offensichtlich starke Verbreitung dieser Art und den möglichen negativen Einfluss auf die heimische Fauna wird ebenfalls hingewiesen.StichwörterDiptera, Muscidae, Fanniidae, Housefly, Lesser Housefly, Stable fly, Tristan da Cunha, Nightingale, Gough, Inaccessible, Island, South Atlantic.Information about the Fanniidae and Muscidae Houseflies of the south Atlantic island group of Tristan da Cunha, from the earliest records to the most recent findings, is presented and discussed. In total, five species belonging to four genera are recorded. This includes the finding for the first time of Fannia albitarsis Stein, 1911 in the archipelago and Muscina stabulans (Fallén, 1817) on Nightingale Island. Based on material collected in 2005 from the two northern islands, Tristan da Cunha and Nightingale, records and notes are given on four species. A discussion of the correct taxonomic rank of Coenosia trina Wiedemann, 1830 is given. The apparent proliferation of this species, and the possible implications that this may have on endemics, is noted.KeywordsDiptera, Muscidae, Fanniidae, Housefly, Lesser Housefly, Stable fly, Tristan da Cunha, Nightingale, Gough, Inaccessible, Island, South Atlantic

Alcune nuove specie sono comparate con esemplari della serie tipica di specie affini studiati dall\u27autore; altre specie sono determinate con le chiavi disponibili dei generi.

Six tribes (Falagriini, Athetini, Thamiaraeini, Pygostenini, Lomechusini and Aleocharini), 20 genera (Cordalia, Falagria, Nehemitropia, Atheta, Schistogenia, Typhloponemys, Pachorhopala, Madecazyras, Porus, Drusilla, Diplopleurus, Neosmectonia, Trichodonia, Myrmechusina, Zyras, Paramyrmoecia, Ocyplanus, Gryptaulacus, Botsa and Aleochara) and 61 species are recognized. Twenty-nine species are described as new to science. All available distributional data are presented. The genus Madecazyras is new for continental Africa; formerly known only in Madagascar. Some new species are compared with types of previously described species examined by the author; other species are determined with the available keys to the genera. All new species and some known species are illustrated.SommarioIl materiale studiato proviene da recenti ricerche.
