No full textPolystichum jinpingense Z.L.Liang, Liang Zhang & Li Bing Zhang, sp. nov. (Figures 1, 2). Type:— CHINA. Yunnan Province: Jinping County, Tongchangxiang Town, Maobeiwan Village, elev. 1800–2000 m, 22°45’53.45”N, 103°01’22.20”E, on limestone rocks in disturbed secondary forest, 9 September 2019, Z.- L . Liang, Y.- M. Shui, W.- H. Chen & Z.- Y. Yu LZL605 (holotype KUN1497023!, isotype CDBI!). Diagnosis:— Polystichum jinpingense is most similar to P. subacutidens Ching ex L.L. Xiang (1994: 261) by having similar plant size and numerous pairs of pinnae, but the former has more or less straight pinnae forming a right angle with rachis (vs. mostly reflexed in the latter), pinna margins undulate (vs. serrate in the latter), pinna apex round (vs. acute in the latter), and sori that are closer to pinna margins (vs. sori that are in the middle between pinna margins and midribs in the latter). Plants perennial, evergreen, (38–) 45–48.5 cm tall. Rhizomes erect, ca. 2 cm long, ca. 1.5 cm in diam., with remnant bases of old petioles; roots dull brown when dried, up to 10 cm long, ca. 0.5 mm in diam. Leaves in tufts; petioles 9.5– 16.5 cm long, ca. 1.5 mm in diam., stramineous basal portions covered with scales; proximal petiole scales ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 1–2 × 0.5–1 mm, papery, dull brown or brown, margins subentire, apex acuminate, cells rectangular in the middle, twisted in the margins; distal petiole scales ovate-lanceolate, 0.8–1.2 × 0.4–0.8 mm, membranous, margins subentire, apex long-acuminate or caudate. Laminae lanceolate, 1-pinnate, (25.5–) 28–32 cm long, 1.8–2.8 cm wide, apex acuminate; rachises ca. 0.9 mm in diam., stramineous, adaxially sulcate; rachis scales ovate or ovatelanceolate, light brown, up to 1 mm long including tip, 0.5 mm wide at base, margins fimbriate, apex long-caudate; or scales bristle-like, ca 1 mm long, margins entire and fimbriate at base. Pinnae in 58–62 pairs, alternate, separate from each other, 2–3 mm distance, oblong, base cuneiform, apex cuspidate, papery, maximal pinnae 0.9–1.3 × 0.35–0.5 cm, basal pinnae narrowing down and basal 1 pair reflexed, largest pinnae located above middle part of lamina, proximal margins not overlapping rachis, acroscopic and basiscopic margins cartilaginous, undulate or with irregular teeth, forming a (80–)90–100° angle with rachis, apex acuminate; basal pinnae margins undulate or entire, apex obtuse; pinna petioles 0.5–1 mm long; adaxially glabrous; abaxially with microscales; microscales broad, ovate or ovatelanceolate, or lanceolate, whitish brown, 0.5–1(–1.5) mm long, 0.15–0.45 mm wide at base, margins fimbriate; costa sunken abaxially and protruding adaxially, veins obscure and invisible on adaxial side, bulging and thickened on abaxial side, lateral veins free, forked. All pinnae bear sori on fertile fronds excluding 5–8 pairs at base; sori terminal on lateral veins of fertile pinnae, 0.8–1.2 mm in diam., closer to pinna margins than to midrib (centers of sori 0.5–1 mm from pinna margins, 1.5–2 mm from midrib), 1–3 on acroscopic side and 6–8 on distal basiscopic side, centers 1–1.5 mm apart from one another. Indusia not seen. Geographical distribution:— Polystichum jinpingense is only found in Jinping County, Yunnan Province, and may represent an endemic species to southern Yunnan. Ecology:— Polystichum jinpingense was observed to grow on limestone rocks in the planted forest at elevations between 1800 and 2000 m. IUCN Red List category:—Only one population of Polystichum jinpingense was found in Jinping. Based on current information and following the IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) guidelines (IUCN, 2017), this new species should be classified as Critically Endangered (CR). Etymology:—The species epithet jinpingense is based on the Chinese pinyin, jinping, the county name in southeastern Yunnan, and the Latin suffix -ense, of origin, referring to the type locality and the current known distribution of the species in Jinping County, Yunnan. Vernacular name:— İ平Ąĸ (jin ping er jue). Taxonomic notes:— Polystichum jinpingense was initially identified as P. subacutidens for its striking similarity of numerous pairs of pinnae to those of the latter. Polystichum subacutidens was the only species known in the genus with so many pairs of pinnae (Xiang 1994, Zhang & Barrington 2013). Careful comparison showed that they two are quite different morphologically. In addition, P. jinpingense grows at higher elevations (1800–2000 m), whereas P. subacutidens occurs between 700–1500 m. Interestingly, both P. jinpingense and P. subacutidens were first discovered and have types collected from the same county. Now the known distribution of P. subacutidens has been expanded to southern Guizhou (Changshun, Ziyun), northwestern Guangxi (Leye, Nandan), in addition to southeastern Yunnan (Zhang & Barrington 2013). It is even found in northern Vietnam (Lu et al. 2014). It remains to discover where else P. jinpingense occurs.Published as part of Liang, Zhen-Long, Yu, Zhi-Yong, Chen, Wen-Hong, Tunçkol, Bilge, Zhang, Liang & Zhang, Li- Bing, 2022, Polystichum jinpingense (subg.

Diagnosis. Ichneumenoptera gryphus sp. nov. is similar to I. punicea Gorbunov & Arita 2000, which was described from northern Vietnam. I. gryphus. may be distinguished from I. punicea by having an additional yellow medial line in mesothorax. An orange band edged with yellow is present posteriad on each tergite of A 2 to A 7 in I. gryphus, whereas only a yellow bar is found in I. punicea. Distal end of saccus is rounded in I. gryphus, but truncated in I. punicea. Etymology. Specific name refers to an creature from Greek mythology, gryphus = gryphon. Biology. Adults was observed active during the day in June. The larva bores into the trunks of 2−8 cm in diameter of trees in the genus Machilus (Lauraceae) and feeds on callus, creating shallow galleries up to 2.5 cm long between the bark and the cambium layer covered with silk, debris, and frass. The larvae pupate in the following spring, but they clear the frass out of the tunnel and work their way to near the exit. Before the adult moth emerges, the pupa wriggles so that it projects from the entrance hole so that adult moth may stretch wings open emergence from pupal cases. Distribution. Known only from Taiwan.Published as part of Liang, Jia-Yuan & Hsu, Yu-Feng, 2015, A review of clearwing moths in the tribe Synanthedonini, with descriptions of six new species from Taiwan (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), pp. 535-555 in Zootaxa 4044 (4) on pages 543-544, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4044.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/24356

Thorax: patagium and tegula black with blue-violet sheen; mesothorax and metathorax black with bronzed-blue sheen; thorax laterally yellow with a few black scales. Legs: fore coxa and femur black with blue sheen; fore tibia dorsally black with a few white-yellow scales basally; fore tarsus ventrally white with a few dark gray scales, dorsally black with a some pale yellow spot on each tarsomere basally; hind tibia black, internally and at base of both pairs of spurs pale yellow; hind tarsus ventrally white with a some pale yellow spot on each tarsomere basally, dorsally black with blue-violet sheen; spurs white. Abdomen: black with blue-bronzed sheen; tergite 2 with a few pale yellow scales medially; tergite 4 with a narrow yellow stripe distally; sterna black, others densely mixed with white scales; anal tuft dorsally dark brown to black with blue sheen, with a narrow white scales laterally, ventrally black. Forewing: basally black; costal margin dark brown to black; discal spot and veins within exterior transparent area dark brown to black; apical area dark brown, with bronzed-purple sheen; discal spot broad, slightly broadened medially; exterior transparent area large divided into five cells, level to M 2 about 2 X as broad as discal spot and 1.5 X as broad as apical area; posterior transparent area reaching distal margin of anterior transparent area; fringe dark brown, with purple sheen. Hindwing: transparent; veins, discal spot and outer margin dark brown to black with bronzed-purple sheen; discal spot small, cuneiform, reaching to vein M 2; outer margin dark brown to black, about 1− 2 X as broad as fringe; attenuate toward tornus; fringe black with bronzy sheen. Female (Fig. 9). Antennae length 5.1−5.8mm (n= 8); forewing length 7.9−8.3 mm (n= 8); body length 8.0− 8.9 mm (n= 8). External morphology and wing pattern identical to those male. Genitalia. Male (Gen. Prep. JYL- 17, NTNU, Fig. 20). Tegumen-uncus complex broad; scopula androconialis well-developed, long, about 3 / 4 X length of tegumen-uncus complex; crista gnathi lateralis large, semi-oval; crista gnathi medialis long, narrow, somewhat broader than crista gnathi lateralis, with distal margin divided into two narrow cristae; valva elongated, trapeziform-oval; crista sacculi oblique, pocket-shaped, gradually lowered posteriorly, covered with dense, strong, bifurcate setae anteriorly at upper margin; saccus slightly broadened and rounded basally, about twice as short as vinculum; phallus relatively narrow, about 3 / 5 X as short as valva; vesica short with numerous, irregular, minute cornuti. Female (Gen. Prep. JYL- 18, NTNU, Fig. 26). Papillae anales relatively long and broad, covered with short setae; 8 th tergite narrow with short setae distally; posterior apophysis about 1.2 X longer than anterior apophysis; ostium bursae narrow; antrum slightly funnelshaped, well-sclerotized; ductus seminalis just at anterior margin of antrum; ductus bursae membranous, narrow, long, about 1.5 X as long as anterior apophysis; corpus bursae globose, membranous, without signum. Diagnosis. Kantipuria glandicola sp. nov. is similar to and appears to be closely related to K. lyu Gorbunov & Arita 1999 described from Nepal. K. glandicola. differs from K. lyu by the smaller size (antenna 6.3 mm, forewing 8.6 mm versus body length 10.7 mm in K. lyu) and coloration of the female abdomen (black with blue-bronzed sheen; tergite 2 with a few pale yellow scales medially; tergite 4 with a narrow yellow stripe distally; in K. lyu a broad brick-red stripe present distally from tergites 3−6). Etymology. A noun of Latin origin, glandi = acorn, plus an adjective of Latin origin, cola = life. Biology. The larva bores into acorns of Castanopsis and Lithocarpus (Fagaceae). Its feeds on kernel around the entrance hole, which is covered with silk, debris and frass. Distribution. Known only from Taiwan. Remarks. The genitalia of both sexes of Kantipuria glandicola sp. nov. are similar to those of K. lyu Gorbunov & Arita 1999, though markings of wings and body and body size of these two species differ considerably.Published as part of Liang, Jia-Yuan & Hsu, Yu-Feng, 2015, A review of clearwing moths in the tribe Synanthedonini, with descriptions of six new species from Taiwan (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), pp. 535-555 in Zootaxa 4044 (4) on pages 546-548, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4044.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/24356
