It looks like a typical species of <i>Bradysia</i>, only the base of the apical spines is pronounced and the claws strongly toothed, not common in the genus <i>Bradysia</i>. It is further characterized by the rough flagellomeres with short curved hairs and short dense hairs in the intergonocoxal space (there is not a true lobe).

Philocentrus Steffan 1959
No full textPhilocentrus Steffan Philocentus Steffan 1959: 321–322. Original description. Type species Philocentrus argenteolus Steffan by original designation. Diagnosis and recognition. The main characters for the diagnosis of the genus are stated in the key. Distribution. One species occurs in Arabian Peninsula and Sinai (see below) and the other examined species are distributed in the Afrotropical Region. Diversity. The genus includes at least 6 species. Until now only the type species was recognized, but one species initially described by Cameron (1907) in Cratocentrus actually belongs to the genus (see below). Hosts. Only the host of P. papillus sp. nov., described below, is known. As for the other Cratocentrinae it is a xylophagous beetle.Published as part of Abul-Sood, Medhat I., Gadallah, Neveen S., Hossni, Mohammed T. & Delvare, Gérard, 2018, The subfamily Cratocentrinae (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae): reappraisal of their morphological characters and review of the West Palaearctic species, with the description of two new species, pp. 490-516 in Zootaxa 4377 (4) on pages 505-507, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4377.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/116579
Die deutschen Arten der Gattungen Elmis, Esolus, Oulimnius, Riolus, Aptyktophallus (Coleoptera: Dryopoidea). Genitalmorphologisch-taxionomische Studie an Dryopoidea I
No full text1. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die zum Teil in der äußeren Morphologie sehr variablen oder ähnlichen Arten der Gattungen Elmis Latreille 1802, Esolus Mulsant & Rey 1872, Oulimnius Des Gozis 1886 und Riolus Mulsant & Rey 1872 möglichst scharf gegeneinander abgegrenzt und eindeutige Bestimmungsmerkmale besonders hervorgehoben. - 2. Sowohl die männlichen wie die weiblichen Genitalorgane erweisen sich als brauchbar zur Diagnostizierung, wie dies schon Bollow (1936), Hinton (1936) und Illies (1953) für andere Gattungen der Dryopidae nachgewiesen haben. - 3. Es wird für nötig befunden, auch Einzelteile und Feinstruktur der äußeren Kopulationsorgane eingehender zu beschreiben und darzustellen als das bisher geschehen ist. - 4. Bei den Untersuchungen konnten zwei neue, bisher nicht veröffentlichte Arten festgestellt werden: Elmis rietscheli n. sp. und Riolus illiesi n. sp. - 5. Die beiden Formen megerlei Duftschmid 1805 und aenea P. Müller 1806 der Art Elmis maugetii Latreille 1798 können auf Grund der Penisstruktur exakt gegeneinander abgegrenzt werden. Sie erweisen sich als zwei selbständige Unterarten: Elmis maugetii megerlei (Duftschmid 1805) und Elmis maugetii aenea (P. Müller 1806). - 6. Nach den genitalmorphologischen Befunden ist es nicht möglich, die Gattung Riolus Mulsant & Rey 1872 im bisherigen Sinne aufrechtzuerhalten. Riolus s. lat. wird aufgeteilt in die Gattungen Riolus partim und Aptyktophallus n. gen. mit der Typus-Art Limnius nitens P. Müller 1817. - 7. Nach IRZN (1905) und CDZN (1953) werden folgende nomenklatorische Änderungen durchgeführt: Statt Helmis Bedel 1878 steht Elmis Latreille 1798, statt Limnius Erichson 1847 steht Oulimnius Des Gozis 1886, statt Lat(h)elmis Reitter 1883 steht Limnius Illiger 1802, statt maugei Bedel 1878 steht maugetii Latreille 1798, statt Helminthinae oder Helminae steht Elminthinae.

Therefore particular descriptions of details of the external genitalia are given. A new genus and two new species are described and the spelling of some genera discussed.

Bergsten & T. Ranarilalatiana (49 NHRS, BMNH, MCZ, PBZT / MBC).</p> <p> <b>Differential Diagnosis.</b> Similar in some characters to <i>I. magna</i>; differing therefrom by smaller size (ca. 2.31 vs. 2.62 mm), less convex elytra with a more gradual posterior declivity, slightly narrower elytral costae, smaller elytral serial punctures, more sinuate fifth elytral costa, and especially differing by having two carinae and a distinct impression between the carinae on the basal 1/2 of the pronotum. The elytron of <i>I. madagassica</i> has two transverse ridges, offset from one another, one linking costae #3 and #5 (located just behind the humeral umbo), and one linking costae #5 and #8 (located at the sinuation dip of costa #5). In <i>I. magna</i> these two ridges are located in the same plane, not offset from one another. The male genitalia of <i>I. madagassica</i> differ from that of <i>I. magna</i> in being less arcuate in lateral view, and shaped differently in ventral view (Figs. 14, 15, 19, 21).</p> <p> <b>Description</b>. Size: holotype (length/width, mm): body (length to elytral apices) 2.31/1.29; head width 0.46; pronotum 0.50/0.96; elytra 1.51/1.29. Dorsum dark brown, venter brown to reddish brown, legs brown to reddish brown except tarsi and femoral-tibial articulations black.</p> <p>Sides of frontoclypeal shield slightly arcuate toward midline at frontoclypeal suture, narrowest part slightly past midlength of shield, at frontoclypeal suture.</p> <p>Short oblique carinae on the anterior 1/3 of the pronotum are well developed, but there is no indication of a midlongitudinal carina. Two short carinae and a distinct impression between carinae located on basal 1/2 of pronotum.</p> <p>Elytron with eight costae; fourth costa interrupted by strong punctures; fifth costa strongly bisinuate; sixth and seventh costae very indistinct. Two transverse ridges, one linking costae #3 and #5 (located just behind the humeral umbo), and one linking costae #5 and #8 (located at the sinuation dip of costa #5).</p> <p>Posterior 1/2 of metaventral tabella with closely spaced transverse grooves. Midlongitudinal groove in posterior 1/2 of metaventral tabella shallow, with ill-defined margins.</p> <p>Midlongitudinal carina of first abdominal ventrite is strong and extends length of ventrite.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs. 14, 15, 19) in lateral view slightly arcuate, aedeagal tips wide, apically rounded and with many pores (apparently without microsetae); in ventral view aedeagus nearly parallel-sided, with narrowed tips.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> In the original description, Steffan (1973) stated that the holotype was deposited in the MNHN. However, MNHN collection staff were unable to find the type. Search at other museums determined that the holotype was still with the paratypes, at the MRAC. Having permission of that museum, the holotype (fragmentary; Fig. 6) and the permanent slide mounted male genitalia were transferred to the MNHN.</p> <p>In the original description (Steffan 1973), it is noted by the author that the head of the holotype is missing (“caput fehlt”). However, both the head and the prothorax are missing (Fig. 6). The two paratypes, both females, are from a different locality than the holotype (“Zentrales Hochland auf der Strecke Tananarie - Ambositra”). These paratypes are larger than the holotype and have some sculptural differences; they probably represent a different species.</p> <p>The original description gives “Cap Ambalasandra” as the type locality. Multiple searches online gave only one record with that geographical name, in a table in a paper on geological deposits. That locality is very near where the Mananara River enters the Indian Ocean (Fig. 38).</p> <p>Thirty-three larvae were collected in association with adults at site MAD 18-60.</p>Published as part of <i>Perkins, Philip D. & Bergsten, Johannes, 2019, New Myxophagan water beetles from Madagascar (Coleoptera: Torridincolidae, Hydroscaphidae), pp. 57-96 in Zootaxa 4657 (1)</i> on pages 64-67, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4657.1.2, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/3369801">http://zenodo.org/record/3369801</a>
