Three new species of Bathysciola Jeannel, 1910 (Leiodidae, Cholevinae, Leptodirini) from caves in Central Italy, comparing morphological taxonomy with molecular phylogeny
No full textThe genus Bathysciola is widely distributed in the northern Mediterranean region, although its range extends east to the Caucasus and Iran. More than 130 species belonging to this genus are actually known in the whole geographic distribution area and 45 species are distributed in continental and insular Italy. The species belonging to the Bathysciola sisernica
Cerruti and Patrizi, 1952 species group occur in the Central-Southern Italian Apennines and Pre-Apennines. This group consists of seven species, four of which (B. sisernica, B. delayi Latella and Rampini, 1994, B. rampinii
Latella, 2002, B. sbordoni Rampini and Latella, 1993) were already known to science and three are described herein, Bathysciola fabiolae
sp. nov., Bathysciola octaviani
sp. nov.
, and Bathysciola valeriae
sp. nov., markedly increasing the knowledge on the distribution of this genus in Central Italy. A morphological analysis was carried out based on diagnostic characters usually used to distinguish different taxa, and including both genitalia and external traits. Based on morphological characters, we reconstructed the phylogeny of this group of species, comparing them with the species belonging to other phyletic lineages, such as B. derosasi
Jeannel, 1914, B. georgi Cerruti, Patrizi, 1952, B. vignai Sbordoni and Rampini, 1978, and B. sarteanensis sarteanensis (Bargagli, 1870). Results suggested that morphological traits show a clear taxonomic signal but a poor phylogenetic signal. To better understand the relationships within this group of species, we performed a molecular analysis by sequencing three mitochondrial genes, 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, partially sequenced and the entire gene of COI. Molecular markers were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among the Bathysciola sisernica species group and to reconstruct the historical processes that shaped their current geographic distribution. Results showed that these species became isolated in very ancient times, showing very high genetic differentiation.</jats:p

An Anemadus species wich, based on the characters of the aedeagus (apex of the median lobe regularly rounded, not abruptly expanded before the apex and internal sac with a median patch of spines) belongs to the pellitus species group (sensu Giachino & Vailati, 1993), which strongly resembles A. cribratostriatus Ganglbauer, 1900 in body shape, elytral microsculpture of the type “C” (with transverse regular rows and longitudinal striae deep and clearly visible) (sensu Giachino & Vailati, 1993) and structure of the aedeagus. The new species differs from A. cribratostriatus in the longer elytra, with apex more strongly pointed and lateral margins less rounded; the pronotum with margins more rounded posteriorly (instead than sub-parallel sided as in A. cribratostriatus); the longer antennae; the stronger tibiae of all legs; the shape of the median lobe of the aedagus, which is apically more elongated; the shorter and thinner parameres, with the group of inner apical setae more apically inserted. Description. Total length: ♂, 3.31 mm, ♀♀ 3.24–3.53 mm. Body brown, with testaceous legs, antennae and palpi, antennomeres VII and IX brownish. Integument uniformly covered with yellow pubescence, short and semierect. Head retractile, eyes well-developed, pubescence short and recumbent on the frons, erect on the clypeus. Antennae short, thin, reaching the basal fifth of elytrae in males and females, VIII antennomere not transverse. Antennomeres length (mm): HT ♂♂ 0.150 - 0.136 - 0.157 - 0.102 - 0.109 - 0.095 - 0.123 - 0.068 - 0.109 - 0.095 - 0.191 PT ♀ 0.164 - 0.157 - 0.164 - 0.116 - 0.123 - 0.116 - 0.130 - 0.061 - 0.102 -0.089 - 0.205 Pronotum transverse (ratio maximum width/maximum length: 1.50 ♂, 1.58–1.64 ♀♀) widest at mid-length, without basal impression, with almost flat disk near the basal angles; lateral margin regularly curving anteriorly and near the basal corners; basal angles obtuse and slightly rounded. Base of pronotum slightly narrower than elytra, laterally subsinuate. Pubescence on disk yellow, short and recumbent. Pronotum disk roughly granulose with emphasized microsculpture. Elytra elliptical, very elongate (ratio maximum width/maximum length: 0.58 ♂, 0.58 ♀♀), each elytron rounded and clearly narrowed apically in both sexes. Elytra strongly separated apically, with disk convex, flattened along the suture in the central area. Sculpture of type “C” (sensu Giachino & Vailati, 1993). Sutural stria present, well-developed, sub-parallel with elytral suture for the basal 2/3, strongly convergent in the distal 1/3. Metathoracic wings fully developed. Legs relatively long, all tibiae strong, protibiae slightly dilated distally, with inner latero-ventral expansion in male. Mesotibiae curved, metatibiae slightly curved. Three basal segments of anterior tarsi dilated in male, as large as the apex of the tibia. Aedeagus (figs. 2–3) quite large, length 0.79 mm (0.86 if measured with parameres included). Median lobe, in dorsal view, elongate, with lateral edges convergent and subapically slightly concave. Apex acute but not sharp. Median lobe, in lateral view, straight, with slight double-sinuation in the distal half; with sinuation pointing first ventrally and after dorsally; apex slightly bent downwards. Parameres (figs. 2–4) relatively weak, longer than the median lobe of about 1/7 of their length, slightly curved inwards and with small asymmetrical lateral expansions, larger in the proximal part and gradually tapering distally. Apex curved outwards and upwards, sickle-shaped, with pointed tip; chaetotaxy represented by a group of 4 long ventral setae and one more ventro-apically inserted. Internal sac of the aedeagus with an elongated patch of spines pointing apically, flanked on each side by a group of setae of different length, the most proximal setae forming towards the base two pairs of phanerae flattened in margins and crenellated, the first of which is not very evident. Female genitalia as typical for the genus (see Giachino & Vailati, 1993 for the description). Etymology. The new species is named after Marco Lucarelli, entomologist at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, who organized and took part to the biospeleological expedition in Anatolia with the second author of this paper (Leonardo Latella). Distribution and ecology. The species is so far known only from one locality, the Ferzene Cave near Seydişehir, in Konya Vilayet, South-Western Anatolia. The cave is horizontal, around 400 m long, and opens at 1470 m a.s.l. It was formed within the contact zone between the Jura Cretaceous aged limestones and Triassic aged argillaceous thin-layered dolomite limestones (Tanindi et al., 2003). The internal temperature at the collecting time (h 12.00) measured 8.4°C. Specimens were found in the entrance gallery. The area outside the cave is a typical oak shrub land. The Ferzene cave, or “Ferzene Mağarasi”, or “Grotte de Fersine” is a cave well known to biospeleology scholars and of particular importance in the history of Turkish biospeleology (Latella et al., 1998). Known for more than a century, and subject of a monographic contribution by Jeannel (1934a, 1934b), it was visited by the most famous biospeleologists of the last century including, in 1933, Leo Weirather (Pretner, 2011). This cave is known to house an interesting subterranean fauna, including the following beetles: the carabids Duvalius huetheri Jeannel, 1934 and Laemostenus (Antisphodrus) agnolettii Vigna Taglianti, 1999 (Casale & Vigna Taglianti, 1999), the colevid Huetheriella maximiliani Jeannel, 1934, and the histerid Spelaeacritus anophthalmus Jeannel, 1934. The discovery of a new species of colevid, even if not a troglobite, in a cave considered faunistically well known is therefore of particular interest and underlines the importance of continuing to carry out research in areas considered to be well known.Published as part of Giachino, Pier Mauro, Latella, Leonardo & Vailati, Dante, 2013, Two new species of the genus Anemadus Reitter, 1885, from the Near East (Coleoptera: Cholevidae), pp. 378-386 in Zootaxa 3718 (4) on pages 379-381, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3718.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/526683

Bleszynski (1961) described <i>C. latella</i> based on 13 male and female specimens, in which he did not mention whether the valva had a fold or not. We collected both male and female specimens in this study. We found our male is identical to <i>C. sawtoothella</i> and the female is identical to <i>C. latella</i> in appearance and genitalia. Hence we propose <i>C. sawtoothella</i> as a new synonym of <i>C. latella</i>.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> China (Yunnan), India.</p>Published as part of <i>Kim, Yongnam, Qi, Mujie, Wang, Shuxia & Li, Houhun, 2023, Taxonomy of the genus Calamotropha Zeller (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Crambinae) from China, pp. 451-482 in Zootaxa 5297 (4)</i> on page 462, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5297.4.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8009006">http://zenodo.org/record/8009006</a>

Nel fuoco della tradizione. Appunti sul teatro di Antonio Latella
Full text linkInsomma, se non c’è un sano rapporto erotico, fatto di fedeltà e di tradimento, il rapporto con il testo non funziona. Massimo Castri Il titolo di queste note non indica un limite, ma una specificità. Latella è, infatti, senz’altro un regista nella tradizione, l’erede forse oggi maggiore del teatro di regia, perché direttamente legato a certe pratiche soprattutto per quel che riguarda il rapporto sia con i testi drammatici, sia con le istituzioni teatrali. Ma parimenti Latella è un regista de..
