No full textOxysarcodexia confusa Lopes, 1946 (Figs 82–84) Oxysarcodexia confusa Lopes, 1946b: 96; Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Miguel Pereira. Holotype male, female allotype, 29 male paratypes and 7 female paratypes in MNRJ. Diagnosis. Male. Length 7.0–9.0 mm. Postocular plate with golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles well developed. Thorax with golden pollinosity, contrasting with the silvery pollinosity of the abdomen; T5 normally without golden pollinosity, in a few cases a pale golden pollinosity can be present laterally. Two well-differentiated posterior and 1–3 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals. Apical scutellar bristles absent. Legs brownish. T3 with 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal and 3 pairs of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and with pilosity. Cercus straight in lateral view, with expanded obliquely cut apex and dorsal subapical barb. Cercus with bristles ventrally absent only on middle portion. Cerci with distal third as broad as middle part in posterior view; parallel and with a distinct constriction mid length. Pregonite and postgonite both with expanded base, gradually narrowing smoothly to apex; unicolorous. Distiphallus with smooth ventroapical margin, rounded apex and straight dorsal outline. Vesica symmetrical, with rounded median projection of main branch; distal lobes reduced, rounded, partially membranous, with spines on both dorsal and ventral surfaces. Remarks. A detailed comparison of the male terminalia of O. confusa and the sympatric species O. avuncula, O. diana and O. parva, with which it is frequently confused, was made by Silva & Mello-Patiu (2008). The distiphallus of O. confusa (Fig. 83) is very similar in lateral view to that of O. molitor (Curran & Walley, 1934) (Fig. 189), differing by the morphology of the median area, spinous in O. molitor (ventral view), and by the structure of the lateral and median styli (Lopes 1975c). The lateral stylus of O. confusa has a rounded base, short apex, and spines; and the median stylus is larger than the lateral one and has pilosity in its basal area (Silva & Mello-Patiu 2008). The lateral stylus of O. molitor is curved and larger than the median stylus (Lopes 1975c). See also remarks under O. comparilis. The female of O. confusa has an undivided T7 (Tibana & Mello 1985). The first, second and third larval instars were described by Lopes & Leite (1986), Leite & Lopes (1987), and Lopes & Leite (1987), respectively. Distribution. NEOTROPICAL. Argentina (Misiones), Brazil (Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, São Paulo). Biology. This species has been collected from human feces, chicken viscera, mouse, pig and fish carcasses, rotten squid, and rotten bananas mixed with yeast or brown sugar (Lopes 1973b; Dias et al. 1984c; Mendes & Linhares 1993; Vairo et al. 2014; Dufek et al. 2016). It has been reared from human feces under natural conditions; in the laboratory it has been reared on agar and powdered milk for 24h, then transferred to meat to complete development (Lopes 1973b). In a study on the synanthropy of flesh flies from Curitiba, Brazil, Ferreira (1979) collected O. confusa using a trap baited with fish, chicken liver and human feces, observing that this species was rarely associated with inhabited areas. Dufek et al. (2016) considered it to be hemi- and non-synanthropic in Argentinean wetlands. Type material examined. Holotype ♂: [Brazil] INS.OSW.CRUZ N.-10.802. / M. PEREIRA EST. RIO H. S.

Zethus alessandroi Lopes 2015
No full textZethus alessandroi Lopes, 2015 (Figs. 5–6 and 10–12) The newly collected specimen expands the distribution of Z. alessandroi by over 500 km. The locality in Mato Grosso State is the only known record of this species besides the type locality in Acre State. The male greatly resembles the paratype, varying in having the clypeal apex slightly concave (Fig. 6). Still, while comparing both specimens, some incongruences between the paratype itself and the description in Lopes et al. (2015) were observed and needed to be corrected. The first involves the pilosity (Fig. 5), where the identification key mentions “mesoscutum with short thick erect setae among longer, curved, thick pilosity” while the description simply states it as “yellow, thick, erect and long pilosity”. The first is the correct configuration and the reader should ignore what is in the pilosity description. The second relates to the drawings of the male genitalia (Figs. 10–12), where some details were left aside in the original illustrations (Lopes et al., 2015, Figs. 8h, p, x) due to a slight overexposure in the clarification treatment. While most characters remain unchanged, the cuspis appears to present a baso-ventral projection (Fig. 10), similar to most species of the Z. hilarianus species-group such as Z. dicomboda, Z. iheringi, Z. caridei and others and opposing closely related ones in the Z. smithii clade.

Oxysarcodexia insolita Lopes Det. H. S. Lopes 1946
No full textOxysarcodexia insolita Lopes, 1946 (Figs 151–153) Oxysarcodexia insolita Lopes, 1946b: 89; Guyana, Esequibo River, Moraballi Creek. Holotype male and female allotype in NHMUK (not examined). Diagnosis. Male. Length 11.0 mm. Postocular plate with pale golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles weakly developed. Thorax and abdomen with golden pollinosity, more evident laterally; T5 partly with golden pollinosity. Two welldifferentiated posterior and 1–3 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals. Apical scutellar bristles present. Legs brownish. T3 with 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal and 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and with pilosity and scattered bristles on arms. Cercus sinuous in lateral view, apex expanded and with straight margin. Cercus with bristles ventrally only in distal third. Cerci with distal third broader than middle part in posterior view; parallel and with a distinct constriction mid length. Pregonite with expanded base, gradually narrowing to apex, which is darker than base. Postgonite like pregonite, except unicolorous. Distiphallus with serrated ventroapical margin, rounded apex and straight dorsal outline. Vesica symmetrical, with rounded median projection of main branch; distal lobes well developed, with basal area more expanded than apical area; with filaments, tapering, sclerotized, with spines only on ventral surface. Remarks. Oxysarcodexia major Lopes, 1946b, considered a closely related species (Lopes 1946b), can be separated from O. insolita by the ventroapical surface of the distiphallus, which has a serrated margin in O. insolita (Fig. 152) and carries a small group of spines arranged in a line in O. major (Fig. 171). The vesica is elongate and presents spines on the ventral surface in both species, but in O. insolita it is spearhead-shaped with long spines, and the median area is U-shaped in lateral view; in O. major the vesica is shaped like a grass blade, with short spines and L-shaped median areas. Oxysarcodexia petropolitana Lopes, 1975c (Fig. 229) is similar to O. insolita (Fig. 152) and O. major (Fig. 171) (Lopes 1975c), but it differs from these species mainly in the shape of the distal lobes of the vesica (long filaments, sharply curved backwards and with expanded base in O. petropolitana; short filaments, slightly curved backwards and with expanded base in O. insolita; long filaments, slightly curved backwards and without expanded base in O. major), the distiphallus apex (serrated ventroapical margin in O. insolita and O. major, rounded in O. insolita and O. petropolitana, slightly conical in O. major), and the cercus (straight in lateral view in O. petropolitana and sinuous in O. insolita and O. major). The female of O. insolita has an undivided T7 (Tibana & Mello 1985). Distribution. NEOTROPICAL. Brazil (Pará), Ecuador *, Guyana, Mexico (Chiapas, Veracruz), Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad). Biology. Oxysarcodexia insolita has been reared in the laboratory on agar and powdered milk, developing from first instar to adult in 14–17 days. It has been bred from human feces under natural conditions (Lopes 1973b). Material examined. [♂] ECUADOR: Napo; Yasuní National Park; Yasuní Research Station; 76°36′W 00°38′S; 3–20 XI 1998: T.

Similar to that of B. trinodulata, except that the unpigmented regions of the pleon are larger on pleonite 1 (figure 32). Cephalothorax. Eyes with 24 ommatidia. Pereion. Tegument smooth and bright. Coxal plate VII has two noduli laterales (figure 49). Co-ordinates b /c and d/c of the noduli laterales (figure 47). Pleon. Narrows abruptly in relation to the pereion; neopleura well-developed on segments 3–5. Pleotelson triangular with straight margins, with a groove on the distal third and rounded apex, reaching halfway down the protopodite of the uropods. Appendages. Antennula tri-articulate, with the distal article having a series of nine aesthetascs at the distal half of the external margin and two apical aesthetascs (figure 33). Antenna when extended posteriorly, reaches the posterior margin of the fourth pereionite. Flagellum and fifth article of the peduncle of sub-equal length. Second flagellar article shorter than the other articles, which have similar lengths; apical organ one-third of the size of the distal article (figure 34). Mandible: similar to that of B. trinodulata, with two penicils on the incisor process and a tuft of at least ten plumose setae. Maxillula: medial endite with two apical penicils, no distal point; lateral endite with 4+6 teeth, five being pectinate (figure 37). Maxilla: external lobe with the distal-lateral margin narrowing; internal lobe covered with fine setae (figure 38). Maxilliped: endite with a long seta and two short teeth on the distal external margin, which has protuberances, dorsally bearing a short and robust seta (as in figure 10); apex of the palp with a tuft of short fine setae (figure 36). Pereiopods: with short tricorns on all articles and a hand-shaped apical seta on the carpus of pereiopod 1 (figure 43). Sexual differentiation: pereiopods 1–4 of the male with the carpus and merus bearing a set of fissured setae; ischium and merus of pereiopod 7 of the male of sub-equal length (figure 44); ischium of the females larger than the merus. Pleopods: exopod of pleopod 1 of the male cordiform, elongated (z: y ratio= 2.3), with a subapical dentiform expansion (figure 39); endopod with small apical spines (figure 40). Exopod of pleopod 2 distally elongated on the internal margin, carrying setae on the external margin; endopod distally tapered (figure 41). Exopod of pleopod 5 with four setae on the external lateral margin (figure 42). Uropod: insertion of the endopod and exopod at the same level; endopod exceeding half the length of the exopod (figure 35). Etymology The name refers to the region where this species occurs, the Brazilian Araucaria Forest. Remarks This species was collected on the Rio-Grandense Plateau (RS), at altitudes above 900 m. Benthana araucariana is similar to B. trinodulata because it has more than one nodulus lateralis on coxal plate VII, is of similar body colour, has similar antenna and uropods, has a similar number of aesthetascs on the antennula (9+2) and in having the insertion of the exopods and endopods of the uropods at similar levels. It can be differentiated by the elongated exopod of pleopod 1 of the male, two noduli laterales on coxal plate VII (three for the other species) and eyes with 24 ommatidia (20 in B. trinodulata).Published as part of Lopes, Paula Beatriz Araujo Elis Regina C., 2003, Three new species of Benthana Budde-Lund (Isopoda, ' Philosciidae') from Brazil, pp. 2425-2439 in Journal of Natural History 37 on pages 2433-243
Oxysarcodexia amorosa Det. H. S. Lopes
No full textOxysarcodexia amorosa (Schiner, 1868) (Figs 19–21) Sarcophaga amorosa Schiner, 1868: 314; Brazil. Holotype male in NMW (not examined). [Described from “Ein Männchen” (Schiner 1868: 314), and Aldrich (1930: 26) examined “One male undoubted type”.] Diagnosis. Male. Length 7.0–8.0 mm. Postocular plate with pale golden pollinosity. Ocellar bristles weakly developed. Thorax and abdomen with golden pollinosity, which is more intense on T5; T5 partly with golden pollinosity. Two well-differentiated posterior and 1–3 smaller anterior post-sutural dorsocentrals. Apical scutellar bristles present. Legs brownish. T3 with 3 pairs of lateral marginal bristles, T4 with 1 pair of median marginal and 2 pairs of lateral marginal bristles. ST5 with deep median cleft with margins almost parallel and pilosity on arms. Cercus straight in lateral view, with expanded obliquely cut apex and dorsal subapical barb. Cercus with bristles ventrally over full length. Cerci with distal third narrower than middle part in posterior view; diverging. Pregonite with expanded base gradually narrowing to apex; unicolorous. Postgonite with expanded base and sudden narrowing at apex; unicolorous. Distiphallus with margin of ventroapical concavity smooth, rounded apex and straight dorsal outline. Vesica symmetrical, with lateral lobes and rounded median projection of main branch; distal lobes well developed, with filaments long, tapering, sclerotized, with spines on ventral surface. Remarks. Phenotypic variability in males from different populations has been reported in the literature for this species (Lopes 1973b). Oxysarcodexia amorosa is similar to O. inflata Lopes, 1975, especially in its color, and to O. similata Lopes & Tibana, 1987 and O. xanthosoma (Aldrich, 1916), differing in the shape of the distiphallus (mainly in the ventral and apical parts) and of the distal part of the vesica (Lopes 1975c; Lopes & Tibana 1987). The ventroapical concavity of the distiphallus in these four species is deepest in O. amorosa (Fig. 20) and least developed in O. similata (Fig. 249). In O. xanthosoma, the ventroapical margin of this concavity is narrower (Fig. 285) than in the other species. The apex of the distiphallus is serrated ventroapically in O. inflata (Fig. 146), and it is more sharp-angled in O. amorosa and O. inflata than in O. similata and O. xanthosoma (Figs 20, 146, 249, 285). The shape of the cercus and phallus of O. amorosa also present similarities to O. berlai and O. graminifolia sp. n. The main differences can be observed in the vesica, which in O. graminifolia sp. n. is more spinous and lacks the basal portion of the distal lobes found in the others (including O. similata and O. xanthosoma), and in the ventroapical area of the distiphallus, which lacks the cleft visible in lateral view in O. amorosa, O. similata and O. xanthosoma. Morphological variation of O. xanthosoma, especially in the shape of the distal part of the cercus and apical part of the distiphallus, but also in the intensity of the abdominal pollinosity, as pointed out by Lopes (1975c), may lead to confusion with O. amorosa. Lopes (1946b) pointed out that one of the differences between O. amorosa and O. xanthosoma is that the latter shows a curved cercus; however, in the material examined, specimens of both species presented a straight cercus in lateral view. The female of O. amorosa has T7 divided into two plates (Tibana & Mello 1985). Distribution. NEARCTIC. Mexico (San Luis Potosí, Sonora). NEOTROPICAL. Brazil (Amapá, Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Roraima, Santa Catarina, São Paulo), Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico (Jalisco), Panama, Peru. Biology. Oxysarcodexia amorosa has been reared from dog, felid and human feces (Lopes 1973b; D’Almeida 1994), an unspecified dead mammal (Dodge 1968), and fish heads and bones (Lopes 1973b). It has also been reared successfully in the laboratory (Lopes 1973b) and on dead shrimps under non-natural conditions (D’Almeida 1989). In the laboratory, larvae of this species matured in 3 days and adults emerged after 12 days using curdled milk as food, showing a preference for low humidity (Lopes 1973b). In a study of the bionomy of O. amorosa under laboratory conditions (27 ± 1°C, relative humidity 50 ± 10%, 12 h of photophase and ground beef as rearing substrate), the duration of the larval stage ranged from 3–6 days with 76% larval viability, the pupal stage lasted 9– 11 days with 88% viability, and the total time of development (from L1 to adults) was 12–16 days with 67% viability (Xavier et al. 2015). The species has been collected from feces of humans and other vertebrates, dead fish and crabs, other dead marine animals (e.g., sardines), rotten S. comosa, rotten banana mixed with brown sugar, fermented fruit, chicken viscera, chicken liver, rat and mouse carcasses, pig carcasses, rotten liver from a non-identified vertebrate, rotten beef lung, rotten bovine spleen, and dead squid (Lopes 1973b, 1975a; Mendes & Linhares 1993; Pamplona et al. 2000; Oliveira et al. 2002; Barbosa et al. 2009, Sousa et al. 2011; Rosa et al. 2011; Ramírez-Mora et al. 2012; Alves et al. 2014; Barbosa et al. 2014; Oliveira-Costa et al. 2014; Vairo et al. 2014; Barbosa et al. 2015; Xavier et al. 2015; Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016; Sousa et al. 2015, 2016; Vasconcelos et al. 2016; Barbosa et al. 2017; Valverde-Castro et al. 2017; Ernesto et al. 2018; Lopes et al. 2018; Leite-Júnior et al. 2019). It has been reported from Brazilian Caatinga (Alves et al. 2014; Vasconcelos et al. 2016; Ernesto et al. 2018), Cerrado (Rosa et al. 2011; Leite-Júnior et al. 2019), Amazon forest (Sousa et al. 2011), Atlantic forest (Lopes et al. 2018), humid tropical rainforest (Vairo et al. 2014), coastal habitat (Barbosa et al. 2015, 2017), insular lands (Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016), marshlands and mangrove areas (Sousa et al. 2016), urban areas (Mendes & Linhares 1993; Oliveira et al. 2002; Barbosa et al. 2009; Oliveira-Costa et al. 2014), areas of degraded vegetation (Pamplona et al. 2000), and in forest, urban and rural areas of Colombia (Ramírez-Mora et al. 2012; Valverde-Castro et al. 2017). Oxysarcodexia amorosa has been reported in association with the bloated stage of decomposition of an unburned pig carcasses and with the post-decay stage of a burned one (Oliveira-Costa et al. 2014). Lopes et al. (2018) reported O. amorosa as associated with the butyric fermentation and dry decay stages of decomposition of pig carcasses. In the Brazilian state of Maranhão, O. amorosa was classified as accidental and rare (Sousa et al. 2015). In Itamaracá, a continental island (Pernambuco state, Brazil), this species was similarly considered an accidental record, collected only in an area of low anthropogenic impact (Carmo & Vasconcelos 2016). Oxysarcodexia amorosa is considered useful for biomonitoring, revealing anthropogenic impacts due to its preference for modified habitats such as clearings (Sousa et al. 2014). Larvae of O. amorosa were involved in a case of auricular myiasis in São João de Meriti, Rio de Janeiro (Figueiredo et al. 2002). Material examined. [♂] Angra dos Reis; E. do Rio; Brasil / Det. H. S.

No full textAbstractLet S be a minimal surface of general type with p_g(S)=0 and K_s2⩾3 for which the bicanonical map ϕ:S→PK_S2 is a morphism. Then degϕ⩽4 by Mendes Lopes (Arch. Math. 69 (1997) 435–440) and if it is equal to 4 then K_S2⩽6 by Mendes Lopes and Pardini (A note on surfaces of general type with p_g=0 and K2⩾7, Pisa preprint, December 1999 (Eprint: math AG/9910074)). We prove that if K_S2=6 and degϕ=4 then S is a Burniat surface (see Peters (Nagoya Math. J. 166 (1977) 109–119)). We show moreover that minimal surfaces with p_g=0,K2=6 and bicanonical map of degree 4 form a four-dimensional irreducible connected component of the moduli space of surfaces of general type
