Seladonia gemmella Pauly, sp. nov.
No full textSeladonia gemmella Pauly sp. nov. (Figures 1, 10–13, 23 a,b, 24 c) Halictus gemmellus Blüthgen, 1924 in Schulthess, 1924: 306. Nomen nudum. Cyrenaica, ♂, ♀, col. Mader (NÖLM). Ebmer 1988: 566 (comment on nomen nudum). Halictus smaragdulus Form B in Pauly & Rassel 1982: 144. Diagnosis. The male of S. gemmella differs from that of S. smaragdula and S. phryganica by the boomerangshaped underplate of the large projection of the gonocoxite (Figs 11, 12, 23 a,b). The distal part of the plate is larger than in S. submediterranea and S. orientana. The shape of the large projection is remarkably stable among specimens from Spain (Fig. 11) as far as to the Sinai in Egypt (Fig. 12). Females of S. gemmella cannot be distinguished from the other species of the S. smaragdula complex by morphological characters. However, most female specimens collected in North Africa belong to this species. Description. Male and female as described for S. smaragdula except as follows: underplate of the large projection of male gonocoxite boomerang-shaped, length/width of the distal plate = 1.77 (Figs 11, 12). Small projection of the gonocoxite moderately thin (Fig. 11, 12, 24 c). Fourth antennal segment of the male moderately short (length/ width = 1.41). Variations. Specimens from Cyrenaica in Lybia often show more blue green reflexions, the punctation is often finer (Fig. 10), and the body size is smaller (5 mm) than specimens from other regions. Holotype.

Capalictus, a new subgenus of Lasioglossum Curtis, 1833 from South Africa, with description of three new species (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Halictidae)
No full textCapalictus, a new subgenus of Lasioglossum Curtis, 1833 (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Halictidae), endemic to the South African Cape Province, is described. The type species is Halictus mosselinus Cockerell, 1945. Evylaeus (Sellalictus) fynbosensis (Pauly et al., 2008) is a new junior synonym of L. (C.) mosselinum. Three new species are described: Lasioglossum (Capalictus) hantamense sp. nov., L. (C.) tigrinum sp. nov. and L. (C.) timmermanni sp. nov. DNA sequence data from three nuclear genes support morphologically-determined species limits. Capalictus is a basal clade of the Hemihalictus series of Lasioglossum

Colour: body black; mandibles, undersides of antennae, tibiae and sterna brown (Fig. 7); apical lobe of hind tibiae, tarsi (except distal segment of mid legs and all segments of hind tarsi) ivory white; tegulae white with a very reduced dark central patch. Basal part of terga 1-3 brown.</p> <p>Pubescence slightly ochraceous white (Fig. 8A). Face covered with white pubescence up to the ocelli (Fig. 9A); area of ocelli and vertex partially covered with pubescence, but not completely obscuring punctuation; anterior and posterior edge of the scutum, lateral lamellae of the pronotum and metanotum with short scaly pubescence (Fig. 9B); base and lateral parts of the first tergum (Fig. 9E), base and apical margin of subsequent terga with felted bands (Fig. 9F). Femora all along the lower part with short, scaly bristles (Fig. 8B). Tibiae covered with white pubescence (Fig. 8B).</p> <p>Punctation and structures. Mesoscutum smooth with medium strength punctation, the distance between punctures equal to their diameters (Fig. 9C). Scutellum without projections (Fig. 9C). Posterior femora slightly swollen. Propodeal area narrow, slightly grooved and keeled posteriorly (Fig. 8D). Posterior tibiae with a slightly developed lobe (Fig. 8B). Distal tarsal segment of the mid legs black, slightly dilated, without long bristles. Terga smooth with strong punctation in the middle, denser and finer on the apical margins (Figs 9E, F). Apical margin of tergum 2 expanded medially (Fig. 9F). Sternum 4 without specific structures, sternum 5 with a medio-apical keel comprising two closely spaced lamellae.</p> <p>Female. Length 6–6.5 mm. Colour: Body and legs red-brown (Fig. 10). Tegulae white with a dark spot at the base (Fig. 11C).</p> <p>Pubescence white. Face and vertex covered with pubescence (Fig. 11A). Lateral keels of the pronotum, anterior and posterior edge of the scutum and scutellum, entire metanotum and flanks of the propodeum with dense felted pubescence (Fig. 11B, D), front of the scutum with scale-like pubescence (Fig. 11C). Tergum 1 with the basal half and flanks lined with pubescence (Fig. 11E). Tergum 2 with a broad basal band and an apical band. Subsequent terga almost entirely covered with felted pubescence (Fig. 11F).</p> <p>Punctation and structure. Mesoscutum smooth, the punctures of average size, the distance between punctures equal to their diameter (Fig. 11C). Propodeal area narrow, slightly grooved and keeled posteriorly (Fig. 11D). Relatively fine and dense punctation of the terga on the base and the apical margin, almost absent in the middle (Figs 11E, F).</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis</b>. This species belongs to the genus <i>Pseudapis</i> by its large tegulae and the apical bands on the terga (in the close genus <i>Nomiapis</i> there are only basal bands).</p> <p> Male. The species is close to <i>Pseudapis crassivertex</i> Bossert & Pauly, 2019 and <i>P. nubica</i> (Warncke, 1976): the sternum 4 does not have structures, and sternum 5 has a small medio-apical keel. Hind tibiae are narrow shaped, and femora have short, scaly bristles all along the length of the lower part. Distal tarsal segments of anterior and median legs oval and black. The new species differs however from these two species by the scutellum lacking spines. The vertex is a little less developed than in <i>P. crassivertex</i> and has some felted pubescence behind the ocelli, which is not found in <i>P. crassivertex</i> (see Fig. 7A in Bossert and Pauly).</p> <p> The species is also close to the Palaearctic species <i>Pseudapis tadzhica</i> (Popov, 1956), a species similar having the short tibial lobe and unmodified sternum 4, but which differs by sternum 5 without apical keel and scutellum with two projections.</p> <p> The new species differs from <i>P. duplocincta</i> (Vachal, 1897) and <i>P. innesi</i> (Gribodo, 1894) (Figs 167 and 169 in Pauly, 1990) by having the tibiae of hind legs narrow (Fig. 8B).</p> <p> With the key of Bossert & Pauly (2019) to the males of <i>Pseudapis</i>, we arrive at couplet 19. The keys should be updated as follow:</p> <p> 19. Lobe of hind tibiae narrow (Fig. 8B) …........................................ <i>P. lisetae</i> Pauly & Monks <b>sp. nov.</b> - Lobe of hind tibiae well developed ((Figs 167 and 169 in Pauly, 1990) …....................................... 19a 19a. Couplet 19 in Bossert & Pauly (2019) … <i>P. duplocincta</i> (Vachal, 1897) and <i>P. innesi</i> (Gribodo,................... 1894)</p> <p> Female. In the key of Bossert & Pauly (2019) we arrive at couplet 6. The species is close to <i>P. crassivertex</i> and <i>P. nubica</i> by the small size, the scutum smooth, the propodeal area with a small posterior carina, and the dense punctation of tergum 1. The new species differs by the much denser punctation on the scutum. The vertex is a little less developed than in <i>P. crassivertex</i> and covered with white felting (compare Fig. 11 A, B with Fig. 6D and 7B in Bossert & Pauly, 2019). The body is entirely red-brown while in <i>P. crassivertex</i> it is mostly black. The body is slightly larger (6-6,5 mm) than <i>P. crassivertex</i>. The lateral sides of the propodeum bear two types of punctation, one wide, spaced and shallow, the other very thin and dense. The propodeal area is narrow and keeled posteriorly.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Named for Liset Lansaat, niece of the third author (Andrew Polaszek).</p> <p> Holotype. 1♁, Oman, Old road to Sur, 23°10.03′N 058°06.12′E, 560 m, 23.VI.2016, <i>Blepharis ciliaris</i>, leg.

Body black, non-metallic, metasoma red in some species (this red colouration is unique in African subgenera of the <i>Hemihalictus</i> series, with the exception of the kleptoparasitic <i>L. ereptor</i>). Metasomal terga without patches of tomentum. Mesoscutum smoothshiny, without tessellate surface. Lower paraocular area shiny and sparsely punctate. Propodeum posterior surface weakly carinate in females, not carinate in males. The carina in females not extending medially across upper margin (Fig. 1F). Clypeus and mandibles of males black. Inner metatibial spur in females with about five short teeth, the one in males without teeth. Gonocoxite of males without retrorse lobe, gonostyli pointed, half as long as gonocoxite (Fig. 15). Apex of marginal cell pointed, ending on wing margin (Fig. 1C, E).</p> Differential diagnosis <p> The new South-African subgenus <i>Capalictus</i> belongs to the <i>Hemihalictus</i> series (<i>sensu</i> Michener 2007) of the genus <i>Lasioglossum</i> Curtis, 1833, which is characterized by weak cross-submarginal veins 1rsm and 2rs-m of forewing (Fig. 1 C-E). <i>Capalictus</i> is morphologically close to the Holarctic subgenera <i>Evylaeus</i> Robertson, 1902 and <i>Dialictus</i> Robertson, 1902, and to the African subgenera <i>Sellalictus</i> Pauly, 1980 and <i>Afrodialictus</i> Pauly, 1984 (see classification of Pauly 1999). From <i>Sellalictus</i> it differs by the absence of a patch of tomentum on the metasomal terga (males of <i>Sellalictus</i> bear a very characteristic large patch of tomentum on base of tergum 2 while females have small baso-lateral spots of tomentum on T2-T4). <i>Capalictus</i> also differs by the apex of the marginal cell close to wing margin (Fig. 1 C-E) (in <i>Sellalictus</i> the apex of the marginal cell is minutely separated from the wing margin and minutely appendiculate as in Fig. 1D). From <i>Afrodialictus</i>, the new subgenus differs by the lack of microtessellate texture on the body (microtessellate surface sculpture is characteristic on head, mesoscutum and propodeum of <i>Afrodialictus</i>; in <i>Capalictus,</i> mesoscutum is polished and shiny), lower part of paraocular area shiny and with some punctation (Fig. 1A) (with <i>Afrodialictus</i> the lower parts of the paraocular area has a different dull, frosted-like and completely impunctate surface as in Fig. 1B) and posterior face of propodeum with a very weak carina in the female (Fig. 1F) (carina entirely lacking in <i>Afrodialictus</i>). <i>Capalictus</i> can be separated from the African subgenus <i>Mediocralictus</i> Pauly, 1984 by the inner metatibial spur of the males without teeth (pectinate in males of <i>Mediocralictus</i>). Females of <i>Mediocralictus</i> can be separated by the peculiar shape of the propodeal carina (Pauly <i>et al.</i> 2001: 121, fig. 36). <i>Capalictus</i> can be separated from most Palaearctic species of the <i>Hemihalictus</i> series by the gonocoxites of males without retrorse lobe. Palaearctic <i>Evylaeus</i> lacking a retrorse lobe can be easily distinguished from <i>Capalictus</i> by the carinate propodeum (male <i>Capalictus</i> lack distinct propodeal carinae) and metasomal sterna with very sparse, and short setae (ṠOD) (sternal hairs sometimes long (2–2.5 OD) and plumose in <i>Capalictus</i>).</p>Published as part of <i>Pauly, Alain, Gibbs, Jason & Kuhlmann, Michael, 2012, Capalictus, a new subgenus of Lasioglossum Curtis, 1833 from South Africa, with description of three new species (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Halictidae), pp. 1-28 in European Journal of Taxonomy 28</i> on page 3, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2012.28, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/3858480">http://zenodo.org/record/3858480</a>
