Thespea Solovyev 2014
No full textGenus Thespea Solovyev, 2014 Thespea Solovyev, 2014: 38. Type species. Neaera bicolor Walker, 1855 (by original designation) (TL: North India). Distribution. Indian sub-region to Sumatra and Java (Solovyev 2014). Diagnosis. The genus Thespea is distinguished on the basis of: i) in both sexes, usually green forewings with marginal series of small brown spots, ii) in the male genitalia, the valva is generally distally divided into saccular (valvula) and costal processes (cucullus) and iii) vesica with a long row of claw-like or saw shaped cornutus (Solovyev 2014). Taxonomic notes. The genus Thespea is an Oriental genus and many of its species are externally similar to the members of Soteira Solovyev, 2014, although smaller in size, and antenna shows longer rami basally. Another similar genus is Circeida Solovyev, 2014, but the genus Thespea is distinguishable by the male genitalia: i) absence of anellus processes (in Circeida the anellus bears a pair of strongly sclerotized naked spurs), ii) vesica with typical saw shaped cornutus and iii) valva with distal saccular process (in Circeida vesica is without cornutus and distal saccular process). With the new species we describe here, the genus Thespea is represented by 26 species, with five species and one subspecies recorded from India (T. bicolor bicolor (Walker, 1855); T. bicolor teala Solovyev, 2014; T. argyroneura (Hering, 1931); T. heringi Solovyev, 2014; T. albipuncta (Hampson, 1892) and T. aka sp. nov.).Published as part of Singh, Navneet, Ahmad, Jalil, Chandra, Kailash & Solovyev, Alexey V., 2021, A new species of the genus Thespea Solovyev and four newly recorded species of Limacodidae from India (Lepidoptera: Zygaenoidea), pp. 123-132 in Zootaxa 4927 (1) on page 124, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4927.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/453403

This species is very similar to <i>C. obscura</i> Solovyev in overall morphological characters but differs from the latter in having the outer margin of basal patch in the forewing perpendicular to the dorsal margin (oblique in <i>C. obscura</i>); the broader apex of valva; the process of juxta rather straight, with spinulate balloon (absent in <i>C. obscura</i>).</p> <p> <i>Description</i>. <i>Head</i>: Vertex dark brownish gray; frons dark brown. Antenna 2/5 as long as forewing, dark brown. Labial palpus 1/5 as long as antenna, dark brown; 1 st palpomere 1/3 as long as 2 nd; 2 nd palpomere broadened and darkened distally; 3 rd palpomere small, dark purplish brown.</p> <p> <i>Thorax</i>: Patagium and mesonotum lustrous, dark brownish gray; tegula dark brownish gray in basal 1/3, fuscous in distal 2/3. Legs lustrous, dark brownish gray. Forewing length 8.5–9.2 mm, strongly oblique along termen, with narrowly-rounded apex, fuscous, darkened in terminal area; basal area broadly dark brown; discal spot small, dark brown; postmedian shade dark brown; cilia purplish gray. Hindwing and cilia dark brownish gray; semitransparent area present at middle, triangular. Legs lustrous, brownish gray.</p> <p> <i>Abdomen</i>: Terga and sterna lustrous, dark brownish gray.</p> <p> <i>Male genitalia</i> (Fig. 8): Uncus elongate, as long as tegumen, slightly concave apically; subapical spur dentiform. Valva 2x longer than uncus, digitiform apically, long-setose along costal area; costa convex at middle; saccular margin concave at middle. Lateral plate of juxta semicircular, with spinulate, bulbose covering; lateral process as long as uncus, slender, spiniform, slightly curved. Vinculum as narrow band. Phallus with spiniform carina distally.</p> <p> <i>Distribution</i>. Korea (endemic).</p> <p> <i>Remarks</i>. The females of this species remain unknown. The type series consists exclusively of specimens collected in the central part of the Korean Peninsula. It is very likely that <i>C. koreana</i> is one of the rare lepidopteran species in the country. This species represents the northernmost occurrence of the genus <i>Calauta</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Sohn, Jae-Cheon & Solovyev, Alexey V., 2022, Review of Calauta Solovyev & Witt, 2009 (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae) with description of a new species from Korea, pp. 439-444 in Zootaxa 5105 (3)</i> on pages 441-442, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5105.3.6, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/6332862">http://zenodo.org/record/6332862</a>
Mambarona Hering 1931
No full textGenus Mambarona Hering, 1931 Mambarona Hering, 1931: 685. Type species. Susica congrua Walker, 1862 (by original designation) (TL: Sarawak, Borneo). Distribution. India to the Philippines (Solovyev & Witt 2009), and Papua New Guinea. Diagnosis. The genus Mambarona Hering, 1931 is defined by: i) the yellowish brown colour and an obliquely straight band and zig-zag submarginal fascia on the forewings, ii) male genitalia with bifid gnathos and iii) aedeagus sickle-shaped and apically acute. Members of this genus are sexually dimorphic, with females larger than males (Solovyev & Witt 2009). Taxonomic notes. Holloway (1986) synonymized the genus Mambarona with Birthama Walker, 1862, but later, Solovyev & Witt (2009) resurrected the genus Mambarona including six species: M. congrua (Walker, 1862) (= Setora simplex Snellen, 1900, in Piepers & Snellen 1900: 64) (as type species), M. obliquifascia (Hampson, 1893) (= Miresa canescens Hampson, 1896) from Ceylon [Sri Lanka] (Hering 1931); M. timorensis Hering, 1931 from Suai, Portuguese Timor [East Timor] (Hering 1931); M. florensis Hering, 1931 from West Flores, [Indonesia] (Hering 1931); M. irrorata (West, 1932) from Philippines and Sulawesi (Holloway 1986) and M. pelochroa (West, 1932) from Mindanao [Philippines] (Holloway 1986). Remark. Holloway (1986) reported M. obliquifascia from S[outh] India also, but it seems to be due to wrong interpretation.Published as part of Singh, Navneet, Ahmad, Jalil, Chandra, Kailash & Solovyev, Alexey V., 2021, A new species of the genus Thespea Solovyev and four newly recorded species of Limacodidae from India (Lepidoptera: Zygaenoidea), pp. 123-132 in Zootaxa 4927 (1) on page 127, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4927.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/453403
Parasa Moore 1860
No full textGenus Parasa Moore, [1860] in Horsfield & Moore ([1860]) Parasa Moore, [1860]: 413. Type species. Neaera chloris Herrich-Schäffer, 1854 (subsequently designated by Fletcher & Nye 1982) (TL: “Amer. mer.”). Distribution. Widely distributed from Far East Russia, China, Japan, Korea, India to Philippines; Middle East, Africa, Madagascar (Solovyev 2014), North and South America. Diagnosis. The monophyly of all the nine groups listed here below under taxonomic notes is well supported (Solovyev 2014), but a robust definition of the genus is still lacking. Currently, the genus Parasa needs a thorough revision as it includes Asian, African, Neotropical and Nearctic species, and the green colour on the wings or body cannot be reliably used as an indicative character because it is also exhibited by few other limacodid genera. Taxonomic notes. A recent and important publication on the taxonomy of this genus was proposed by Solovyev & Witt (2009), where 13 monophyletic lineages were identified, but with an indication that the study was preliminary. Furthermore, Solovyev (2014) provisionally divided the genus Parasa into nine species groups: i) the lepida species group (20 species), ii) the consocia species group (seven species), iii) the sinica species group (three species), iv) the darma species group (three species), v) the ananii species group (13 species), vi) the sagittata species group (one species), vii) the dulcis species group (one species), viii) the inexpectata species group (one species and two subspecies), and ix) the metaphaea species group (one species).Published as part of Singh, Navneet, Ahmad, Jalil, Chandra, Kailash & Solovyev, Alexey V., 2021, A new species of the genus Thespea Solovyev and four newly recorded species of Limacodidae from India (Lepidoptera: Zygaenoidea), pp. 123-132 in Zootaxa 4927 (1) on pages 125-126, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4927.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/453403

(Figs. 1–3, 6–8) <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> <i>G</i>. <i>nigrifasciata</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is similar to <i>G</i>. <i>mixta</i> in the wing patterns, but the forewings of the former species have entire external fasciae (from near apex to tornus) and postmedial fasciae from discal spot to trailing edge is lumpish. The male genitalia of the new species are similar to those of <i>G</i>. <i>fasciata</i> (Moore, 1888) (Figs. 4, 5, 9, 10), but the former can be easily distinguished from the latter by the uncus with strongly curved lateral margin, juxta bearing two finger-shaped protrusions, and aedeagus shorter and slender.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Adults (Figs. 1, 2). Male. Body length 15 mm. Wingspan 27–29 mm. Antennae bipectinate, with gray-brown. Head, thorax and abdomen nigger-brown, covered densely with hairs. Labial palpus wide, proboscis reduced, the foretibia of forelegs with white hairs. Forewings grayish-brown, with a large black discal spot at upper angle of the discal cell, with three black fasciae, external fasciae between near apex to tornus is zig-zag slightly, postmedial fascia from discal spot to trailing edge is short and inclined, and antemedial fascia is darker, wing edge gray-brown. Hindwings nigger-brown, without patterns.</p> <p> Wing venation (Figs. 3, 6). Frenate wing-coupling.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
