    Phyllocnistis selene Brito & Moreira, 2017 Figs. 3V, 4V, 5, S1; Tab. 2 Phyllocnistis selene; Brito & Moreira 2017: figs. 2C, F, 3G–I, 14–18. Type material. Description of Phyllocnistis selene Brito & Moreira, 2017 was based on five specimens from the Centro de Pesquisas e Conservação da Natureza Pró-Mata (CPCN Pró-Mata) São Francisco de Paula municipality, Brazil. The male holotype is deposited at DZUP and has the following labels (separated by forward slash symbols, Fig. 4V): / Phyllocnistis selene Brito & Moreira HOLOTYPE #m / 236–22 Brasil, RS Promata 0 7.03.2014 GRPMoreira&RBrito #m / DZ 33.403 /. The holotype genitalia is slide-mounted in Canada balsam (GRPM 50– 121). According to the original description, the paratypes are as follows: one male (LMCI 263–18) with genitalia on slide (GRPM 50–122) and one female (LMCI 210–34), deposited at DZUP (33.413, 33.423, respectively); another male (LMCI 263–26) with genitalia on slide (GRPM 50–123) and one female (LMCI 263–28) are deposited at MCTP (57.620 and 57.621, respectively). Forewing length. 2.15 mm (n=2). Diagnosis (Figs. 3V, S 1; Tab. 2). Dorsal forewing: ground color light gray. lf thin, light brown, without borders, emerging from the base of costal margin and running straight to center, connecting to fused tf 1 –tf 2. Transversal fasciae light yellow with light brown borders. tf 1 short, restricted to costal section. tf 2 crossing the wing entirely, merged with tf 1. At distal region (III), a light yellow blotch formed by fusion of tf 3 + tf 4. At the center of this blotch there is another small black blotch. As preceded by a light gray stripe. Costal and apical strigulae typical. The shape of lf, in association with pattern of corresponding fusion with tf 1+ tf 2 are unique for this species compared to other Neotropical Phyllocnistis. Geographical distribution (Fig. 5). Records are restricted to type locality, in São Francisco de Paula municipality, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, at 900 m of altitude. Natural history. According to the original description, mines are transparent, serpentine shaped and usually followed by a brown trail of feces. Initially they are thin, increasing in width along larval ontogenesis, and corresponding paths may cross each other forming blotches. The mines are found on the abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces. The egg is deposited next to the petiole, and usually only one larva feeds per leaf. The cocoon is covered with silk, constructed at the border of the leaf, provoking a leaf wrinkling. Larvae were found in the field in the months of March and April, suggesting that this species is active as leaf mining during late summer and early autumn. Host plant(s). Drimys angustifolia Miers (Winteraceae). Examined material. Holotype male and one specimen, with no sex identified.

    LF-copying without LF

    No full text
    AbstractA copying approach to ellipsis is presented, whereby the locus of copying is not a level of derived syntactic structure (LF), but rather the derivation itself. The ban on preposition stranding in sprouting follows without further stipulation, and other, seemingly structure sensitive, empirical generalizations about elliptical constructions, including the preposition stranding generalization, follow naturally as well. Destructive operations which ‘repair’ non-identical antecedents are recast in terms of exact identity of derivations with parameters. In the context of a compositional semantic interpretation scheme, the derivational copying approach to ellipsis presented here is revealed to be a particular instance of a proform theory, thus showing that the distinctions between, and arguments about, syntactic and semantic theories of ellipsis need to be revisited

Preserved dried and pinned. C. Lopez – Vaamonde leg., 05.IX.2010. HOLOTYPE: #f (Sample ID: CLV1381; Process ID: LNOUC318–10), with genitalia on slide (GRPM 50–140), deposited at MNHN. Cluster number BOLD: AAV4618. Diagnosis. Dorsal forewing: lf slightly convex, located along the costal margin, distally connected to tf 1; tf 2 cshaped, separated from tf 1, crossing the wing entirely and slightly distinct from tf 3; presence of a blotch on the distal region formed by tf 3 +tf 4 that is ornamented with a small black blotch on the center. This species is morphologically similar to P. aurilinea, P. kawakitai and P. jupiter. However, it differs from P. aurilinea by having tf 1 separated from tf 2; from P. kawakitai by the crossing of tf 2 from the costal to the inner margin, and can be distinguished from P. jupiter by the connection between the lf and tf 1. Description (Figs. 3M, S 1; Tab. 2). Forewing length 1.73 mm (n=1). Head: covered with light gray scales; antennae with same coloration, longer than wings. Thorax: forewing ground color light gray. lf yellowish, with dark brown borders, running on the costal margin from the basis of the wing to median (II) region, and connected with tf 1. The latter is thin, dark brown and short, almost restricted to costal margin. tf 2 c-shaped, similar in color, separated from tf 1, but, partially connected to tf 3, crossing the wing entirely. tf 3 and tf 4 fused, forming a golden yellow blotch on the distal region (III); small black blotch at the center. Costal strigula a emerges from the base of tf 2 and the other two (b, c) from the distal blotch. Apical strigulae (d–g) emerge from as. Inner marginal fringes vary from golden yellow to dark brown. Hindwings light gray, reduced, with long light gray fringes. Abdomen: covered with light gray scales. Male genitalia: unknown. Female genitalia (Figs. 6G, 6J): Abdominal segment VII subrectangular, segment VIII reduced. Anterior and posterior apophyses similar in shape and size, both reaching the median region of the VIII abdominal segment; apophysis types with ~0.5 x the length of anal papilla. The latter covered with setae of different sizes, most arranged along the distal margin (Fig. 6G). Ductus bursae membranous and slender. Anterior limit of corpus bursae reaching V abdominal segments; wide bursa containing one pair of separated signa, similar in size, with membranous base and spine-shaped (Fig. 6J). Geographical distribution (Fig. 5). The specimen of P. norak is known only from Nouragues Natural Reserve, French Guiana. Natural history. The only adult found of this species was collected at light (C.L.-V.). Host plant(s). Unknown. Etymology. The species name is dedicated to the Amerindian tribe Nouragues, who once inhabited the region where the species was collected.Published as part of Brito, Rosângela, Lopez-Vaamonde, Carlos, Gonçalves, Gislene L., Becker, Vitor O., Mielke, Olaf H.

French Guiana: Sinnamary, Paracou Research Station, 5°16’28.5” N 52°55’25.3” W, 30 m elevation. Preserved dried and pinned. C. Lopez – Vaamonde leg., 11.XI.2015. HOLOTYPE: #f (Sample ID: IO0535; Process ID: LEPPC2393–16), with genitalia on slide (GRPM 50–143), deposited at MNHN. PARATYPE: with no sex identified (Sample ID: IO0536; Process ID: LEPPC2394–16), deposited at MNHN. BIN registry for BOLD: ACY6760. Diagnosis. Dorsal forewing: lf is absent; tf 1 is indistinctly shaped, restricted to costal margin and fused to tf 2. tf 2 is distinctive with distal border marked by light brown scales, crossing the wing from costal to the inner margin. This species is similar to P. citrella and P. xylopiella, differentiated from these by the absence of lf. Description (Figs. 3Q, S 1; Tab. 2). Forewing length: 1.75 mm (n=2). Head: covered with white silver scales. Antennae long and filiform. Thorax: forewing ground color white silver. lf absent. tf 1 pale yellow, shape weakly defined, restricted to costal margin and fused to tf 2. The latter with same coloration, c-shaped, presenting a wellmarked distal border with light brown scales, crossing the wing entirely. tf 3 and tf 4 forming blotch covered by scales of same coloration as the tf 2 (III). Narrow, weakly defined, light gray band precedes as. Costal strigulae (a– c), emerge from the tf 2 and from the blotch formed by the tf 3 and tf 4. Other strigulae emerge from as. Basal portion of inner fringes pale yellow, with distal apex light gray. Hindwing reduced, formed by light gray scales and long fringes. Abdomen: covered with silvery white scales. Male genitalia: unknown. Female genitalia (Fig. 6H): abdominal segment VII subrectangular, VIII reduced. Apophyses similar in shape: anterior apophysis almost reaching the limit between the VI and VII abdominal segments; posterior apophysis reaching the limit between the VIII and VII abdominal segments, ~0.5 x the size of anal papilla. The latter covered with setae of different sizes randomly arranged at distal margin. Ductus bursae thin and membranous, connected to the corpus bursae; corpus bursae wide, thin, not sclerotized. Signum absent. Geographical distribution (Fig. 5). Known only from the type locality, Paracou CIRAD Research Station, Sinnamary, French Guiana. Natural history. P. petronellii adults were reared from two field-collected leaf mines (voucher number of host plant: P2015A/CLV086). The holotype herein described emerged on 20.XI.2015. The species co-author (C.L.-V.) collected a third leaf mine (voucher number of host plant: P2015A-CLV43), on 13.VI.2015, in the same host plant with a dead larva inside which was dissected out of the mine and successfully barcoded (process ID: LEPPC1389- 15). Host plant(s). Vismia guianensis (Aubl.) Pers. (Hypericaceae). The vouchers of the host plant from which both P. petronellii specimens were reared were identified by the tropical botanist Pascal Petronelli (Kourou, Guyane) and are deposited at the herbarium of the University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France (P2015A/CLV086 & P2015A- CLV43). Vismia is a small tree or shrub, with 80% of its species concentrated in Central and South America. V. guianensis is known to occur in Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana and Brazil (Mourão & Beltrati 2001; Di Stasi & Hiruma-Lima 2002). Almeida-Cortez & Melo-de-Pinna (2006) described the anatomy of a leaf mine on V. guianensis associated with an unidentified microlepidopterous larva in Brazil that could be conspecific to P. petronellii. This record should be further examined. Etymology. The species name, petronellii, is a patronym in honor of tropical botanist Pascal Petronelli for his help identifying our host plant vouchers.Published as part of Brito, Rosângela, Lopez-Vaamonde, Carlos, Gonçalves, Gislene L., Becker, Vitor O., Mielke, Olaf H.
