Deposition summary: BMNH (HT ♂, 3 PT ♂♂, 3 PT ♀♀); MNHN (2 PT ♂♂, PT ♀); ABRI (PT ♂, PT ♀). Type locality. Madagascar NE, Ambavaony R., R. Onive, E Masoala, 250 m, 15.282 o S, 50.288 o E +/- 0.1 km. Diagnosis. Apparently most similar to Ht. pauper, from which it differs by rounder wings especially in FW wingshape (as in Ht. subsimilis and Ht. avaratra sp. nov.), and more generally by a larger space-CuA 1 HWD ocellus and more contrasting orange and yellow banding/shading on the underside, as well as a more consistently orange FWV ‘shoulder’ at the base of the costa). ♂♂ can be distinguished by HWD Spdb tending to be blackish (whitish in Ht. pauper). Description. Wings: Dorsal wing surface uniform mid-brown, FWD space-CuA 1 ocellus with black iris at least spanning veins CuA 1 -CuA 2, light orange ring narrow to wide and sub-hexagonal, sometimes compressed along diagonal from tergal angle to mid costa. FWD space-M 1 ocellus very small, with narrow pale orange ring. HWD ocellus is the only one expressed there and fairly round with fairly narrow pale orange ring and spanning about 2 / 3 of vein CuA 1 -CuA 2, on FWV space-CuA 1 ocellus similarly expressed to FWD but with wider ring that is pale orange with yellow area proximad marking the tapering arm of a spiral that closely hugs the concave brown Mb before it bends back to mid costa. On HWV, space- 1 A ocellus much more strongly expressed than on HWD and sub-elliptic, black iris spanning most of vein CuA 1 -CuA 2 and with a concentric yellow ring that spans the whole space-CuA 1. Space-Rs ocellus is on HWV very reduced in HT. HWV Mb irregular but not jagged, russet and darker towards its distad margin, convex to intersection with vein M 2 and then fairly straight to mid space- CuA 2 and angled back to 1 A. Yellow-ochreous highlighting distad of Mb. Russet colouring shadows Mb proximad to PMb and within this area, the background grades from rich orange to ochreous (this variegation of orange and yellowish is a good field character for the species) towards base and there is quite strong irroration with russetbrown. A diffuse wavy grey-brown line follows margin in both wings and the Sml is distinct and dark brown, hugging closely the margin, which is particularly crenate in the HW (more so than any other of the Ht. subsimilis group). Distad of the yellowish highlighting beyond the Mb, yellowish background is interspersed with grey-brown irroration. In the FWV cell, the four russet brown, slightly convex arcs/lines delineate two more yellowish Cbs for the two outermost pairs of arcs. The basal half of the FWV costa (‘shoulder’) that is bisected by darker strigulae is strongly tinted with orange, as less prominently shown in most specimens of Ht. pauper. Variation. Sexes similar in upperside and underside colouration but ♀ larger. In ♀ HWV especially, two ocelli may be expressed in space- CuA 2, often as white spots. HWV space-Rs ocellus sometimes expressed, even when small, with elliptic black iris and narrow yellow ring. Wingspan/fwl: range 31.0– 33.9 /17.0– 18.6 mm (♂♂, n= 5), mean = 33.2 +/- 2.1 SD/ 17.8 +/- 0.8 SD mm (n= 3 ♂♂), including HT ♂ 33.9 / 18.6 mm; range 33.8–37.5 / 18.1–20.7 mm (♀♀, n= 6); mean = 35.9 +/- 1.4 SD/ 19.2 +/- 1.1 SD mm (n= 3 ♀♀). Androconia: Sdb HWD compact, dark brown to blackish, Sdp HWD fat lenticular, black, CuA 2 inflated vein narrowly swollen to about 2 /3, 1A+ 2 A vein also inflated. The degree of HW inflation may be variable, but these veins do not exhibit discrete ‘balloons’ (swellings); Lees (1997: 96) showed for one specimen that the veins that were significantly inflated along their length comprised only M 3 for the medial system. Palps: penultimate segment on outside face light creamy white towards compound eye, blackish away from eye with light coloured scales within this border; fringed with dark brown where not contacting eye. Face away from eye whitish ochreous. ♂ genitalia: 19 DL, PT (Fig. 15 A); Lees (1997: 106, Fig. 7 f; “ 14 A”): from LV: miniaturised, about 1.7 mm long and with configuration typical of the Ht. subsimilis group; there is no really obvious difference in shapes of the genitalic components from other members (Lees (1997: 106) and the description below might apply to almost any of the group. From LV, the valve bases are rather symmetrically-‘skittle’-shaped (Lees 1997). Uncus is slightly longer than tegumen and quite inflated dorsoventrally before the slightly pointed downturned tip (inflated before tip from the DV). Gnathos tapered from small base, fairly straight, not sinuate from the SV. Valve with prominent rounded dorsal shoulder, valve arm tapering to distinct ‘beak’ that points to uncus base with limited serration and not much indication of a club at valve end (tip strongly incurved from the SV). Saccus relatively small, slightly bulbous, juxta not very prominent proximad. Aedeagus about 1 / 5 longer than valve, moderately stout and recurved distad of ostium. Etymology. After Claire Kremen, who worked tirelessly for the creation of the Masoala National Park, that was created in 1994. Discussion. No historical museum material has been found and this species was first recognized in the field in 1993 in the survey of what is now Masoala National Park (Lees, 1997: 64). Kremen et al., (2001: 412) considered it a potential endemic there, but it has since been discovered to be more widespread among the remaining northeastern lowland rainforests. All available types in the Ht. subsimilis group were examined, from which it differs. Concerning Culapa pauper Oberthür, 1916 with over 300 STs, a ♂ LT is here designated: BMNH (E) # 674888; Madagascar Antsianaka Perrot Freres 2 e Semestre 1890, which was illustrated by Oberthür, 1916 (Pl. 367: f. 3066); the PLTs then include the ♀ BMNH (E) # 674889, also illustrated in Oberthür, 1916 (Pl. 367: f. 3067). The STs of Culapa comorana Oberthür, 1916 were also examined (LT ♂, here designated, that illustrated by Oberthür, 1916: Pl. 367, f. 3061). The HT ♂ of Pseudonympha subsimilis Butler, 1879 (BMNH (E) # 674882) was examined (Fig. 14 A), with which species Culapa undulata Oberthür, 1916 (a taxon that d’Abrera 1980: 185 was unable to locate) has been synonymised (Lees et al., 2003) (LT ♂, here designated, Fig. 14 C, bearing labels “ Lectotype | Madagascar Antsianaka Perrot Freres 2 e Semestre 1890 | Culapa undulata Obthr. ♂ type |[copy of f. 3064]|P.E.L. Viette det. 1968 Culapa undulata Ch. Obthr. ♂ LECTOTYPE |supposed “ Type ” (syntype) of Culapa undulata Oberthür ”| BMNH (E) # 674883; Oberthür specified as STs 190 other ♂♂ (including BMNH (E) # 674885) and 58 ♀♀ (including BMNH (E) # 674884, Fig. 14 B, illustrated in Oberthür 1916: P. 367, f. 3065 and BMNH (E) # 674886), which are then automatically PLTs of Culapa undulata). Additional information. DNA divergences: cluster number BOLD:ACW 4937 (exemplar BMAD 249 - 15, Marojejy), diverges by 5.47 % from that of H. avaratra (cluster number BOLD:AAD0195, exemplar BMAD 016- 09) and by about 5.5 % from that of H. subsimilis (cluster number BOLD:AAB 4493). In the Torres et al., (2001) dataset, a COII sequence for Ht. kremenae (their “ Hen. sp. 14 A”) from Masoala is 7.03 % pairwise divergent to Ht. avaratra from Montagne d’Ambre (AY 040161 compared to AY 040146 based on single individuals respectively, 398 bp comparable) and 8.14 % pairwise divergent to Ht. subsimilis from Ranomafana National Park (AY 040145), whereas 8.83 % pairwise divergent to Ht. pauper from that site (AY 040133, 414 bp compared). Meanwhile, Ht. avaratra and Ht. subsimilis are more obviously closely related according to COII data (5.27 % pairwise divergent) and share privately at least four SNPs not found elsewhere in the Ht. s ubsimilis group. Note that in the Torres et al., dataset, “ Henotesia 14 ” (AY 040181, cytochrome b) from Masoala is apparently synonymous with Ht. subsimilis (AY 040192), with only 1 bp difference. A similar situation seems to pertain to their grouping of (‘ Hen. sp. 23 ’ + ‘ Hen. sp. 30 ’ [representing opposite sexes of Ht. pauper from Ankazomivady] + Ht. pauper from Ranomafana + “ Hen. sp. 7 ” from Masoala), the latter ‘morphospecies’ exhibiting only 3 bp difference from the first three (COII); see also the COI phylogeography of Ht. pauper in Linares et al., (2009: 488–489). Phylogeny/sister species: Ht. kremenae is likely most closely related to Ht. subsimilis and Ht. avaratra. Lees (1997) did not resolve the position of Ht. kremenae ‘FRTNA’] within the Ht. subsimilis group. The two-gene study of Linares et al., (2009) did not include this species and its exact position was not clear in Aduse-Poku et al., (2016, in press). Ecology and distribution. Habitat: Primary rainforest, preferring riparian areas. Behaviour: flies among low grasses, liking the slopes above streams and rivers. Hostplant: not reared, but presumably low forest grasses. One was caught though in a canopy fruit trap in Marojejy (K. Aduse-Poku, pers. comm.). Early stages: expressed eggs were greenish. Distribution: endemic to lowland rainforest in the northeast of the rainforest belt and Masoala Peninsula (Fig. 30 B, dark blue dots), with a preference for riparian areas. Elevational range: 10–675 m (n= 86, including referred specimens and observations).

Upperside dark brown, lacking light orange wash and smooth HW margin of Ht. menamenoides (Fig. 21 A) and Ht. maeva (Fig. 21 D) and the HWD orange crescent (Mf) typical of Ht. strigula. Fresh specimens of Ht. barbarae are distinctive in their strong slightly dingy orange ventral cast (Fig. 20 A,E), and the ventral scales are easily displaced/rubbed. Worn ♀♀ can easily be confused with those of often sympatric Ht. pauper and Ht. undulans. Indeed the ♀ of Ht. undulans is sometimes almost indistinguishable (Fig. 20 D) to that of Ht. barbarae (Fig. 20 B), but Ht. undulans ♀♀ often tend to be more flushed with reddish scales on the upperside, while Ht. barbarae can be distinguished by the combination of rich and dense slightly dingy orange scales on the ventral surface which lack a yellow cast (such as in Ht. strigula), combined with a less contrasting, pale orange band between Pml and Sml (Fig. 20 C,D,F), which is pale ochreous in both sexes of some populations of Ht. undulans (however that is a very variable species), but there will always be a few especially more worn specimens of Ht. barbarae that are hard to place without dissection. The similarly lowland Ht. maeva has a brighter orange underside (Fig. 21 D), denser black ventral brush in the ♂, and is distinctive in that its upperside is orange too, except for HWs of western specimens which are usually suffused with brown (but Ht. barbarae is anyway absent in the west of Madagascar). Description. Wings: Upperside mid-brown with a slight russet brown cast. Space-CuA 1 ocellus expressed strongly in FWD; orange ring sub-hexagonal., M 1 ocellus very small black white pupilled spot surrounded by a narrow orange ring. HWD ocellus CuA 1 fairly small and sub-elliptic, surrounded by a narrow orange ring. Underside has a lighter dingy orange cast, only slightly lighter distad of the Mb. Mb darker orange-brown, gently convex and slightly irregular (relatively straight in the HT HWV) with paler orange highlights distal to it in space- M 2 to CuA 1. FWV space-CuA 1 ocellus similar size to FWD (in the HT), as is FWV M 1 ocellus, which is reduced to a very small white point surrounded by a narrow black ring and orange ring that slightly contrasts with background. FWV space-CuA 1 ocellus follows concave shape of the FWV darker orange-brown Mb before it bends back toward mid costa, with a ring that is orange near the black iris (which is significantly smaller than on FWD) and is yellowy-orange towards the greatest inflection of the bend in the Mb, forming a ‘spiral arm’ (Ore). HWV space-CuA 1 ocellus similar size and shape to that on dorsal surface, surrounded by pale orange ring not much lighter than background; no other ocelli conspicuously expressed on the HWV nor HWD. The HWV basal area is sparsely irrorated with brown strigulae, the area between PMb and Mb more evenly and finely irrorated. A wavy-zigzag darker diffuse brownish line inset from margin follows a double narrow Sml divided by the ground colour, not very ochreous as usual in Ht. undulans) that closely tracks the margin of both wings, the margin being relatively smooth in the FW and distinctly crenulate in the HW. The reddish/dark orange-brown HWV PMb is slightly more convex than the Mb and both lines terminate abruptly at 1 A. In FWV in the cell area are four dark orange-brown Cbs meeting almost perpendicular at the costa, the outermost pair delineating relatively paler areas, the outermost of which is more convex than the others, with its borders diverging towards the costa (in the HT). Variation. ♀♀ similar but larger and slightly paler (Fig. 20 B). Space-CuA 1 ocellus FWD is a little wider proximad in some specimens, and FWD M 1 ocellus sometimes not visible. HW space-CuA 1 ocellus is more circular in some specimens. Wingspan/fwl: range 33.5–38.5 / 17.8–20.5 mm (n= 14 ♂♂), including HT ♂, 36.3 / 20.7 mm; mean 35.7 +/- 1.1 SD/ 19.2 +/- 0.97 SD mm (n= 10 ♂♂, including HT). Range 36.7–40.4 / 20.1–21.5 mm; mean 37.0+/- 2.6 SD/ 20+/- 1.5 SD mm (n= 4 ♀♀; referred specimens). Androconia: (observations on ♂ specimen MAD 182 from Marojejy, referred specimen). Discocellular brush HWD dark grey at base, rufous/reddish-brown in distal ½; underlying patch light brown to reddish-brown, long, very narrow lenticular, surrounded by silvery scales or yellowish ones distal to brush. HWD Cub (cubital brush) above 1 A+ 2 A base, mid brown, dispersed, juxtaposed potentially under abdominal sternal segments A 2 –A 5, approximately where there is a conspicuous black androconial patch, which is not divided by lighter overlying scales as it is in Ht. undulans. Inflated vein 2 A swollen within basal half. Palps: Ochreous, with intermingled brown scales on outside face away from compound eye, dark brown scales above where potentially brushing eye. Etymology. After Barbara, the mother of Claire Kremen. Discussion. This species was first recognized in the field in 1991–1993 by Claire Kremen in the survey of what is now Masoala National Park (Lees 1997: 64). It had been collected once before on the expedition of M.I. Evans to RS Ambatovaky in 1988 (specimen in BMNH) but surprisingly there were no (other) historical specimens in BMNH nor MNHN. It is a quite striking and common lowland riparian species in large parts of the Northeast of Madagascar, so obviously completely overlooked in historic collecting in the region. All available types in the Ht. subsimilis and Ht. strigula groups (all in BMNH) were examined. In particular, among the ‘orange underside’ species, the following specimens are typified. These include two of up to three (although in his original description, Mabille does not state the number of specimens; but see also Mabille [1887]: 77) possible ♂♂ STs in BMNH of Mycalesis maeva Mabille, 1878; LT ♂, here designated (Fig. 21 D): BMNH (E) 673788; Lectotype |MadagascarNo 10 [?sic; or ‘MadagascarNW’?]|Ex Coll. CHRIS WARD |Ex Oberthür Coll. Brit. Mus. 1927 - 3.| Culapa [sic] maeva Mabille |P.E.L. Viette de. 1968 Mycalesis maeva ♂ LECTOTYPE. For Mycalesis maeva, the potential ST male BMNH (E) 673789, “NW Madgsr” from Joicey Bequest (presumably from the Grose- Smith collection) is here designated PLT. Regarding Culapa laetifica Oberthür, 1916, a LT ♂ is here designated (Fig. 21 B): the specimen bearing labels “ BMNH (E) # 674741; Lectotype |Nord-Madagascar (Antakares) Isokitra a Diego Suarez Mai a Octobre 1891 E.&B. Perrot; illustrated by Oberthür (1916: Pl. 368, f. 3072) ”. For the last species, the text by d’Abrera (1980: 185) “♀ (? holotype) as illustrated”, is here considered ambiguous, but the corresponding PLT specimen (also illustrated by Oberthür (1916: Pl. 368, f. 3073)) is now numbered BMNH (E) # 674742, while four additional PLT ♂♂ of Culapa laetifica are numbered BMNH (E) # 674743-674746. Among STs of Culapa laeta Oberthür, 1916, a LT ♂ in BMNH is here designated (Fig. 21 C), the specimen bearing labels “LT|Nord-Madagascar (Antakares) Isokitra à Diego-Suarez Mai à Octobre 1891 E.&B. Perrot| Culapa laeta Obthr ♂ type |P.E.L. Viette det. 1968 Culapa laeta Ch. Obthr ♂ LECTOTYPE |Supposed “ Type ” (syntype) of Culapa laeta Oberthür)|[Copy of f. 3075]|Ex Oberthür Coll. Brit. Mus. 1927 - 3.| Lectotype ♂ of Culapa laeta Oberthür D.C. Lees, det. Sept. 2000 | BMNH (E) 675416 ”; a surviving further 5 of 7 ♂ STs and all 4 ♀ PLTs of Culapa laeta become PLTs. The STs of Culapa undulans Oberthür, 1916 were also examined; the LT ♂ is here considered to have designated by d’Abrera, 1980: 184 by the text “♂ (holotype) and ♀ as illustrated”, as illustrated on p. 185; the LT (Fig. 20 C) bears the labels “ Madagascar Fito Mai a Aout 1897 Perrot Freres| BMNH (E) # 674752 | Culapa undulans ♂ Type Oberthür [handwriting]|[label bearing copy of f. 3062]” and is indeed the specimen previously illustrated by Oberthür (1916: Pl. 368, f. 3062); the corresponding PLT ♂ of Culapa undulans from the same locality is numbered BMNN (E) # 674753. The specimen illustrated with no abdomen by d’Abrera (1980: 185; BMNH (E) # 674891) represents a PLT of Culapa undulans as treated syntypically by Oberthür (1916: 220, pl. 367, f. 3063, from ‘Antsianaka’) but is misidentified and in fact represents a ♀ of Ht. pauper, to which “ Culapa (var. ou espèce séparée) pseudonarcissus ” Oberthür (1916: 223, fasc. 11: 41) (that d’Abrera, 1980: 184 treated under Ht. undulans) also would belong. The last form (represented by a ♀ without abdomen; Fig. 14 E) is here designated LT of Culapa pseudonarcissus, bearing labels “Nord Madagascar Antakares Isokitra a Diego Suarez Mai a Octobre 1891 | Culapa pauper var? pseudonarcissus (Bdv. in ms) Obthr. Type ♀)| BMNH (E) # 674890 ” and this is presumably a dry season individual; although this has no consequence, Oberthür (1916, pl. 368, f. 3068) also captioned it “ Culapa pauper - pseudonarcissus ”. Additional information. ♂ genitalia: 141 DL (Fig. 18 C, referred specimen): the basic configuration is fairly typical for Ht. strigula group. From LV, the approximately parallel-sided uncus is very slightly longer than the tegumen, the dorsal margin approximately in line with that of the tegumen and slightly upraised after its brow, with a smoothly round ‘head’ before the ventral hook (inflated from DV before tip), which projects forward rather than down. The gnathos originates on an elliptic base and is gently tapered and straight to an approx. 35 -degree angle to uncus in the specimen examined; from DV it features a typical ‘bull’s horn’ sinuate appearance with pointed tips inrecurved. Only a slight constriction is found at hinge with vinculum. The valve has a fairly parallel-sided, flattened arm which is bent over at tip (inwards from DV) exposing a dense coverage of spinoid setae and the uncus tip when not downflexed is about the same extension as, not proud of the valve tips. The saccus is of normal length for the Ht. strigula group and the aedeagus is about the same length as the valve and strongly recurved distad of the (also proximally uprecurved) ostium. The juxta is narrow and not sharply lipped proximad. DNA divergences: COI- 5 P cluster number BOLD:ACW 4995 (exemplar BMAD 248 - 15, DL 14 M-0033, Marojejy) is 4.86 % divergent to Ht. tianae (BOLD:AAE 4112), and 5.63 % divergent to Ht. maeva (BOLD:AAE 5488), its sister species in the study of Aduse-Poku et al., (2015). In the COII dataset of Torres et al., (2001), Ht. barbarae (their “ Hen. sp. 16 ”; AY 040128 based on 1 ♀ from Ivontaka Sud) was 6.54 % divergent to Ht. maeva (AY 040132 based on 3 ♂♂, and 1 ♀ from Masoala; 390 bp comparable). Phylogeny/sister species: possibly Ht. menamenoides (combined tree in Aduse-Poku et al., 2016, in press). Torres et al., (2001: 467) suggested a topological relationship with Ht. maeva in their cladistic analysis of COII sequences, but this was not supported (Torres et al., (2001: 466). Ecology and distribution. Habitat: riparian primary rainforest. Behaviour: flies low and both sexes come easily to fruit bait. Hostplant: unknown but almost certainly low grasses. Early stages: unknown but for expressed eggs, which were whitish. Distribution: endemic to the northeastern rainforests of Madagascar, from Marojejy and Masoala south to Ambatovaky (Fig. 30 C, light green dots). Elevational range: 0– 890 m.

Modificacions de les Propietats Fisicoquímiques de les "Lies" de Segona Fermentació durant la Criança del Cava
[cat] Els caves són vins escumosos que es distingeixen per la seva criança particular en contacte amb els llevats de la segona fermentació per un període no inferior a 9 mesos. Com més es perllonga la criança, se suposa una millor qualitat del vi. Així, la categoria “Gran Reserva” implica com a mínim 30 mesos d’envelliment en rima. Tanmateix, encara no s'han esclarit els mecanismes que involucren l’autòlisi amb la qualitat organolèptica dels vins escumosos.
En aquest treball s’ha proposat identificar possibles mecanismes que expliquin la relació entre la criança del vi escumós en contacte amb les lies i el temps d’envelliment. Per fer-ho, s'han avaluat els canvis a les propietats fisicoquímiques de les lies atenent a les seves modificacions ultraestructurals al llarg de la criança i s'ha estudiat la capacitat de les lies per retenir compostos volàtils que participen en l’aroma del vi, així com la seva possible intervenció en la protecció del vi enfront de l’oxidació.
Les propietats fisicoquímiques de les lies estudiades han estat: hidrofobicitat, capacitat electródonador i electró-receptor i potencial “Xi”; les quals varien amb el període de criança del cava. A més, aquests canvis s'han relacionat amb les modificacions morfològiques de les cèl•lules.
Així, les lies de segona fermentació pateixen profunds canvis a la seva ultraestructura al llarg de la rima, els quals impliquen a tots els orgànuls cel•lulars. Es desestructura profundament el citoplasma i desapareixen els orgànuls. La membrana plasmàtica es trenca, augmenta l’espai periplasmàtic i la paret perd progressivament la part amorfa de la seva estructura, relacionada amb el glucà, i exposa la capa fribril•lar interna, relacionada amb les mannoproteïnes. A més, sembla que el vi on es duu a terme la segona fermentació no influeix en la cinètica de degradació del llevat.
Pel que fa a la hidrofobicitat de les cèl•lules de llevats, disminueix amb el temps de rima, i aquesta propietat està relacionada amb el seu caràcter electró-donador i amb l’increment de potencial “Xi” i del caràcter electró-receptor. La davallada de la capacitat per flocular de les lies de segona fermentació sembla ésser deguda a les proteïnes de superfície i estar correlacionada amb la pèrdua de la hidrofobicitat.
Finalment, les lies en contacte amb el vi retenen compostos volàtils que participen a l’aroma del cava. La desestructuració de la paret cel•lular modificarà els compostos volàtils retinguts així com aquells que es remouran durant el procés de degollament del cava. D'altra banda la superfície de les cèl•lules també ha mostrat tenir una capacitat antioxidant similar a la de fruites i vegetals, després d’ésser analitzades mitjançant els mètodes de FRAP i DPPH. Aquesta capacitat es redueix amb el temps de rima. Els polifenols retinguts semblen ésser els majors contribuïdors al poder reductor de les lies, seguits dels tiols i, finalment, dels mannans i glucans.[eng] Aging on lees after second fermentation is a fundamental stage in the production of some high quality sparkling wines by the traditional method, and it results in an increase in product richness and roundness. During this ageing, lees interact with the wine and undergo important modifications to their structure, due to the self-degradation process known as autolysis.
Cell wall biochemical components confer physicochemical surface properties that enable yeasts and lees to interact among them and with other compounds. These interactions are mainly referred to lees sorptive properties toward organic compounds, to the protective effect of lees toward wine oxidation, and to their flocculation capacity.
Yeast lees have shown the capacity to interact with wine organic compounds such as volatiles and polyphenols. The sorption capacity of yeast surface seems to be related to both chemical properties of the sorbed substances and cell surface characteristics. These sorptive phenomena are thought to influence the chemical composition of wines during their ageing on lees.
The phenomena related with the antioxidant properties of yeast cells is other feature with relevance in wine technology. Lees’ antioxidant properties could be attributed to three main mechanisms: The action of enzymes and biomolecules released during autolysis, the effects of membrane lipids and by means of elements in cell wall (constitutional or retained during aging).
Finally, Flocculation capacity is especially important in the production of sparkling wine by the méthode champenoise, in which the yeast cells can only be removed from the bottle by being settled. The flocculation seems to be related with the presence of flocculins (surface proteins), calcium and mannose. Moreover, the behaviour of cells seems strongly conditioned by their cell surface physicochemical properties. The changes in lees wall structure caused by the autolytic process during sparkling wine ageing could induce relevant modifications in the cell surface structure and physicochemical characteristics and thus in the above mentioned lees properties

Deposition summary: BMNH (HT ♂, 2 PT ♂♂, 3 PT ♀♀), MNHN (PT ♂), ABRI (PT ♂). Type locality. Madagascar C, Amboasary-an-ala, vic. Anjozorobe, 18.45 o S, 47.95 o E +/- 2.45 km, 1375 +/- 75 m. Diagnosis. Heteropsis oberthueri, described below, is hard to distinguish from Ht. tianae except by ♂ genitalia (the gnathos is more flattened at the base than in that species) and by mitochondrial DNA sequence (DNA barcode highly distinct from ‘sp. 28 ’ to be treated in a subsequent paper, and from Ht. turbans (Oberthür, 1916); see under DNA divergences). On average, the HWV Mb of Ht. tianae is slightly more outdented near space-M 2 (Fig. 24 A– C), and the HWV tends to have the space-CuA 2 ocellus expressed as small black-ringed ocellus. However, Ht. oberthueri (Fig. 24 D–E, Fig. 26 A) can be distinguished from the sympatric Ht. andasibe by the distinctly more outangled HWV Mb of that species (Fig. 22 C; Fig. 26 B). In the Angavo massif, I observed the last species to prefer habitat only a few metres from the forest margin. The ventrally very similar Ht. roussettae usually has a smoother outcurve to the HWV Mb at space-M 2 and strong tendency to expression of a small ocellus in space-M 3 on the HWD (Fig. 22 AB). Description. Wings: upperside uniform mid brown, FW space-CuA 1 ocellus with an orange ocellus ‘ring’ which is sometimes rather hexagonal in shape and eccentric, being wider at proximad edge. FW space-M 1 ocellus small with narrow orange ring. HW space-CuA 1 ocellus the only one expressed there and somewhat elliptic. Darkish brown diffuse, slightly wavy hair-brush emanating mainly from below vein 1 A+ 2 A as far as mid-vein. Underside greyish brown, rather more uniform and less strongly irrorated than in many Heteropsis, rather uniformly irrorated brown and ochreous brown. Space-CuA 1 ocellus FWV with orange ring yellowing proximad, this Ore following the darkish brown concave curve of the Mb before it bends back to mid-costa. Space-M 1 ocellus FWV reduced to white pupil with narrow black iris without trace of orange ring. On HWV, space-CuA 1 ocellus slightly elliptic with narrow black iris and small also, without orange ring trace. HWV space-M 1 -M 2 ocelli as white ‘pupil’ points. HWV Mb darkish brown and fairly straight, only gently curving. FWV cell area with four darker brown rather equally spaced transverse Cbs. Basal areas are not much darker than areas distad of the Mb, and a darker brown PMb is weakly represented. Variation. ♂♂ similar to each other, but seasonal variation has not been quantified. HWV Mb sometimes with a yellow Mf distad of it in space-M 2. HWV space-CuA 2 ocellus may be slightly expressed as small white pupil with elliptic black iris. ♀♀ similar in pattern, but larger and somewhat lighter dorsally with a more rounded HW shape. Wingspan/fwl: range 34.7–40.2 / 18.1–20.4 mm (n= 3 ♂♂), including HT ♂: 34.7 / 18.56 mm; mean 37.0 +/- 2.1 SD/ 19.4 +/- 1.0 SD mm (n= 5 ♂♂). Range 35.2 –41.0/ 18.3–22.1 mm; mean 38.2 +/- 3.3 SD/ 20.4 +/- 1.7 SD mm (n= 5 ♀♀). Androconia: both 1 A+ 2 A and 3 A have a tapered ‘balloon-like’ inflation, more swollen distad, from base to mid-vein, covered in thin grey-brown scales (Lees 1997: 96, Fig. 3 A: sp. 49). HW veins M 2, M 3, CuA 1 and CuA 2 are also narrowly inflated throughout their lengths and have specialized scales on the dorsal surface (Lees 1997: 96, Fig. 3 A). Abdominal black androconia indistinctly visible ventro-laterally around A 2. HWD discocellular brush fawn to yellowish/blonde at tip. Discocellular patch hwd (orange, small, lenticular, composed of narrow yellow scales) (observations on MAD 239–242, MAD 244; Anjozorobe, n= 5). Palps: penultimate segment with narrow brown medial strip, flanked by yellow and fringed by dark brown scales, with yellow scales mainly on mesad face. ♂ genitalia: 228 DL, PT (Fig. 25 A): from LV, uncus slightly proud of dorsal curve of tegumen and longer than it, fairly straight and parallel-sided to hook without a distinct ‘head’ although slightly broadened ventrally towards tip (evident from the SV), and tegumen fairly narrow at hinge with vinculum; tegumen viewed laterally less tapered ventrad than many species. Valve arm with fairly short neck (distinctly recurved and bowed inwards from the SV) and slight club at tip covered in spinoid setae, with distinct ‘beak’ oriented towards uncus and slightly mesad, uncus tip distinctly proud of valves. Gnathos from rather small base with distinct flattening, more so than in Ht. oberthueri (although not with ear-like structure) near base, recurved downwards at tapered tip (and inwards from the SV) with slight serration on dorsal surface. Saccus moderate length and parallel sided, aedeagus slightly shorter than valve and strongly recurved twice, towards and away from the also proximally uprecurved ostium. Etymology. Etymology. After ‘Tiana’ Raharitsimba (= Heritiana Rahagalala), who found some of the first modern exemplars of this species at Anjozorobe. Discussion. Historical specimens, one from Andrangoloaka forest in the Angavo massif, probably late 19 th Century, a bit south of the type locality near Lac. Mantasoa (♀) and two ♀ (“ Madagascar ”) were found in BMNH, but the species was subsequently found in the field in Anjozorobe forest from 1994 by C. Kremen and coworkers where it was called “sp. 69 ” (Lees, 1997: 65), and in MNHN from 1966 collection. STs of the similar species Culapa antsianakana Oberthür, 1916 and of C. anceps Oberthür, 1916 (LT ♂♂ designated above under Ht. roussettae; see Fig. 22 C–D) were examined and are clearly different, along with Ht. oberthueri, described below. Additional information. DNA divergences: COI- 5 P cluster number BOLD:AAE 4112 (exemplar BMAD 200 - 15, DL 14 Z-051) is about 2.58 % divergent to Ht. oberthueri (cluster number BOLD:ACW 4996, exemplar BMAD 242 - 15, DL 06- 11, RNI Zahamena) and about 4.17 % divergent from ‘sp. 28 ’ (BOLD:AAE 5458), which is not likely to be the sister species. In their dataset for COII (Torres et al., 2001), Ht. tianae (as their “ Hen. sp. 49 ”, AY 040160, based on a ♂ from Anjozorobe, 1400 m.; see correction below) is considerably less pairwise divergent (4.76 %), however, to Ht. turbans (AY 040130, based on 2 ♂♂ and 1 ♀ from Ranomafana National Park; which has COI- 5 P cluster number BOLD: ACD 8579). Phylogeny/sister species: probably Ht. oberthueri based on the close relationship of the COI- 5 P barcode (confirmed by Aduse-Poku et al., 2016, in press). In their cladistic analysis of COII sequences, Torres et al., (2001: 467) suggested a topological relationship of Ht. tianae (sp. 49) with Ht. ankova but that was not supported (Torres et al., 2001: 466). Ecology and distribution. Habitat: montane rainforest. Behaviour: both sexes come readily to fruit bait. Flies in substratum of forest. Hostplant: unknown, presumed to be grasses. Early stages: unknown. Distribution: endemic to the Angavo massif, including Anjozorobe and Andrangoloaka, as far as is known (Fig. 30 C, dark pink dots). Due to a formatting error, the locality was incorrectly given in Table 1 of Torres et al., 2001 as “Anjanaharibe Sud” instead of the line below, “Anjozorobe 1400 m.” Elevational range: 1320–1375 m.
