Baiocis nubilosus Roberts & Morimoto 1986
No full textBaiocis nubilosus Roberts & Morimoto Baiocis nubilosus Roberts and Morimoto, 1987: 162. Taxonomy: The senior author has examined the male holotype and a female paratype (BMNH), as well as four males collected by B. Jordal in Papua New Guinea. The species is very closely related to Baiocis pernanulus. Both sexes are distinguishable by their greater size (2.7‒2.9 mm compared to 1.9‒2.4 mm), and the males by slight differences in the posterolateral tooth of the elytra (see key). We have seen no specimens intermediate in size, and therefore retain the species. It is reliably recorded only from Papua New Guinea, but may also occur in Australia. The female described as B. pernanulus from Australia by Schedl (1936b) was 2.7 mm long, outside the normal range of females found in other areas, and may actually belong to B. nubilosus. Distribution: Papua New Guinea. (Australia?). Biology: Recorded from Garcinia sp. (Clusiaceae) (Roberts & Morimoto 1987).Published as part of Beaver, Roger A., 2018, A review of the genus Baiocis Browne, 1962 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodinae), with new species, new synonymy and a key to males, pp. 481-501 in Zootaxa 4434 (3) on page 496, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4434.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/129227
Cotasterosoma coronus Grebennikov & Morimoto, 2016, sp.n.
No full textCotasterosoma coronus sp.n. Figs 1–3. Diagnosis. This species differs from the type species by having six (not seven, but see Discussion) antennomeres in antennal funicle and by the lack of any signs of minute spicules in the internal sac of the aedeagus (Figs. 1 E–F; they are present in the type species and seemingly all congeners from Japan seen by the second author). Description. Holotype, male (Figs 1 A–H). GenBank accession: HQ987058. Length: 2.0 mm (from anterior margin on pronotum to elytral apex). With characters of the genus given above; antennal funicle with 6 antennomeres. Intraspecific variation. Females are similar to males (Figs 2 A–K); GenBank accessions as in Fig. 3. Length: 1.74–2.2 mm. Material examined. Holotype (in IZCAS): “P.R. CHINA, Yunnan, E slope Cangshan at Dali, N25°40′ 15.1″ E100°07′ 39.9″, 10.v.2010, 2711m, sifting04, V.Grebennikov ”, “CNCCOLVG00000787”. Paratypes (in CNC, IZCAS; specimen numbers as in Fig. 3): 12 exx in total: five from Cang Shan Mountain Range in Yunnan (collected in 2010 and 2011) and six from Mount Emei in Sichuan (collected in 2010 and 2011). Additional specimens (collected in 2008–11): 30 exx in total, 18 from Cang Shan and 12 from Mount Emei. Distribution. This species is known from two localities separated by about 530 km: eastern slope of Cang Shan Mountain Range in Yunnan (2600–2764 m) and Mount Emei in Sichuan, Southwest China (1829–2440 m) (Fig. 3). Biology. Adults of this species have been repeatedly discovered by sifting wet litter in deciduous forests in the midaltitude zone. Host plants or immature stages are unknown. Etymology. The species epithet is the Latinized Greek mythical name of Coronus, an Argonaut; his son Leonteus was Helene's suitor and fought in the Trojan War. It is a noun in apposition. Results of DNA analysis. Phylogeographic analysis grouped 13 mtDNA sequences from specimens of C. coronus sp.n. in two geographical clusters diverging about 2.45 Mya (Fig. 3). Unlike the Cang Shan population homogenous in its mtDNA, that on Mount Emei is formed by two sister lineages diverging about 1.53 Mya (Fig. 3).Published as part of Grebennikov, Vasily V. & Morimoto, Katsura, 2016, Flightless litter-dwelling Cotasterosoma (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Cossoninae) found outside of Japan, with mtDNA phylogeography of a new species from Southwest China, pp. 133-138 in Zootaxa 4179 (1) on pages 135-136, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4179.1.11, http://zenodo.org/record/26743
