Philochloenia armata Fuhrmann & Vaz-De 2017
No full textPhilochloenia armata Fuhrmann & Vaz-de-Mello, 2017 nom. nov. Figs 12J, 19 M–N Aulanota sulcipennis Moser, 1924: 157. Note Aulanota sulcipennis was described based on an undetermined number of males. Etymology The specific epithet refers to Latin ‘armata’: armed, and alludes to the metatibial ornamentation. Material examined Lectotype (here designated, Fig. 19 M–N) BRAZIL: ♂, ZMHU, labels: [Petropolis | 23.II.99] [Aulanota | sulcipennis | Type Mos] [sulcipennis Mos] [LECTOTYPE | Aulanota | sulcipennis | Moser, 1924 | ♂ | des. J. Fuhrmann & | F.Z. Vaz-de-Mello, 2014]. Remarks The new replacement name Philochloenia armata nom. nov. is hereby erected for Aulanota sulcipennis to avoid the secondary homonymy with Philochloenia sulcipennis (Moser, 1918) comb. nov. (described as Anoplosiagum sulcipenne). See Discussion “Male morphology and nomenclature” (below) for more information about the new synonymy.Published as part of Fuhrmann, Juares & Vaz-De-Mello, Fernando Z., 2017, Macrodactylini (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae): primary types of type species and taxonomic changes to the generic classification, pp. 1-71 in European Journal of Taxonomy 350 on page 45, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2017.350, http://zenodo.org/record/383268

Sousa & Vaz-de-Mello 2022 [handwritten]′.</p> <p> <i>Distribution.</i> Brazil: Minas Gerais (Lavras, Nova Lima), Brasília (Figures 5A, 6A). <i>Etymology.</i> The species is named to honour the memory of the great scarabaeoid researcher Dr Henry F. Howden.</p> <p> <i>Physogastric and intermediate forms.</i> Metathoracic wings large, broken on the base in the studied physogastric specimen. Abdomen greatly expanded (intermediate forms are more compact, Figures 2, 5B, C), tergites V–VIII dorsally visible, densely setose (setae long and erected) and with sclerotised plates in the median dorsal area (Figure 2). Pygidium with disc membranous, posterior half setose, margin very sclerotised (Figure 2A). Sternites densely setose on the anterior half. Abdominal spiracles IV– VIII visible in lateral view. Terminalia. Paraprocts elongated and slightly rectangular (Figure 2D, E). Gonocoxite divided into 3 pieces; proximal piece covers all lateral area, with long and erected setae in the distal area; median piece with setae in distal margin; distal piece elongated, slightly setose, emarginated medially with divergent angles; gonostylus indistinct (Figure 2D, E).</p> <p> <i>Biology.</i> The physogastric female was collected in the soil, near a termite gallery, alongside workers of Apicotermitinae (Isoptera: Termitidae) and near soldiers of <i>Nasutitermes</i> sp. (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) in an aphotic zone, inside a cave at Parque Estadual da Serra do Rola Moça (Nova Lima, Minas Gerais State) (Figure 5). However, it was not possible to specify which (if any) of these termite species belonged to the gallery.</p> <p> <i>Remarks.</i> Some paratypes have morphological variations in body colour (dark reddish brown), and the shape of pronotum (less rounded anteriorly and lateral margin slightly sinuated in median area). Some setae of the clypeus and elytra were not observed in the holotype (probably broken), only in the paratypes. Studies on genera of Scarabatermitini describe very superficial sexual dimorphism among the species of the tribe (eg Silvestri 1940; Howden 1973; Howden and Gill 1988a, 1995, 2000); otherwise, the sexual dimorphism of <i>Balleriolus</i> is restricted to terminalia.</p>Published as part of <i>Sousa, Rafael & Vaz-de-Mello, Fernando Z., 2023, Balleriolus, a new termitophilous genus of Ceratocanthinae (Coleoptera: Hybosoridae) from South America and notes on termitophily in the tribe Scarabatermitini, pp. 1377-1395 in Journal of Natural History 57 (29 - 32)</i> on pages 1386-1389, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2023.2248689, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10492238">http://zenodo.org/record/10492238</a>

version of Soergel's category of bimodules to the category of sl(N) foams defined by Mackaay, Stošić, and Vaz. We show that through these functors Soergel's category can be obtained

Dichotomius (Selenocopris) benesi Vaz-de-Mello & Nunes 2016
No full textDichotomius (Selenocopris) benesi Vaz-de-Mello and Nunes, 2016 (Figures 1 (a), 4(a–b), 5(b), and 6) Dichotomius (Selenocopris) benesi Vaz-de-Mello and Nunes 2016: 295. Diagnosis Within the globulus group, only D. benesi and D. ocellatopunctatus are brachypterous species. They are associated with mountain formations; Vaz-de-Mello and Nunes (2016) provided detailed descriptions for both species, and illustrated the tegmen of D. benesi. Therefore, herein the description of D. benesi is merely complemented by the inclusion of the following characters of the male genitalia: in dorsal view, paramera rectangular, onethird longer than its width at medial portion; apex slightly obliqualy truncate; surface with a feeble pre-apical longitudinal carina, inner edge curved inward at basal third (Figure 4 (a)); in lateral view, apical half of paramera approximately as wide as base; ventral sclerotised membrane between paramera thinner at basal half, slightly angulate laterally (Figure 4 (b)). ME with two hook-like projections inferiorly, projections separated by a broad U-shaped emargination; ME with a longitudinal fold at the median inferior region (Figure 5 (b)). Complex of A and A+SA endophallites thin, C-shaped in lateral view; SA endophallite with reticulate texture inferiorly (Figure 5 (h), arrow). FLP endophallite C-shaped in lateral right view, inferior region thinner than superior one; surface of the C-shaped region with irregular projections (Figure 5 (h)). SRP endophallite approximately J-shaped (Figure 5 (h)).
