New Zealand Fungi

Abstract: Eight species of euantennariaceous sooty moulds are distinguished in about 250 collections from New Zealand. Four species are described and illustrated with Euantennaria ascostromata, and Antennatula and Hormisciomyces imperfect states; these are E. mucronata (Moet.) Hughes, E. novae-zelandiae nsp., E. pacifica nsp., and E. caulicola n.sp. Four new species of Antennatula are described and illustrated; these are A. triseptata n.sp., A. fisherae n.sp., A. dingleyae n.sp., and A. fraserae n.sp. A. fisherae and A. dingleyae also produce a Hormisciomyces phialidic state. The two original species of Aithalomyces Woronichin are induded in Euantennaria as E. arctica (Woronichin) n.comb. and E. rhododendri (Woronichin) n.comb. Both species are illustrated and described. Limacinia alaskensis Sacc. & Scalia is considered to be a possible earlier synonym of E. rhododendri. Brief notes are given on E. tropicicola, the type species of this genus, and Hormisciella rubi Bat. is considered a possible name for its...

A revision of the Scarabaeine dung beetles of Australia. II. Tribe Scarabaeini

Abstract: The second part of this revision covers the tribe Scarabaeini, comprising only the subtribe Canthonina in Australia. Observations are presented on biogeographical distribution, faunal relationships, behaviour, food preferences, and flightlessness. Sixteen genera and 94 species are described and keyed, of which three genera and 52 species are new. The genera Epilissus Keiche and Panelus Lewis, previously recorded as Australian, are shown not to occur here, while two genera previously unknown in Australia. Ignambia Heller and Lepanus Balthasar, are shown to be present. The new generic names proposed are Boleloscapter, Aptenucanthorz, and Diorygopyx. One genus, Heterouteuchus Paulian, is newly synonymized with Paraclzorius Arrow. The new specific names proposed are: Aulatvpris maximus, Amphistornus inerrnis, A. pygnzaeus, A. cornplanatus, A. sppeculifer, A. tuberosus, A. accidatus, A. palpebratus, A. prinzonactus, A. pectorali, A. opacus, A. macphersonensis, A. montanus, A. stoveyi, A. trispiculatus, A. cunninghamensis, Labroma umbratilis, Tesserodon tenebroides, T. pilierepus, T. granulatum, Boletoscapter furcatus, Aptenocanthon rossi, Ignambia rnimerops, I. squamata, Lepanus monteithi, I. latheticus, L. australis, L. nitidus, L. palumensis, L. gelasinus, L. furcifer, L. parapiwnhe, L. villosus, L. vestitus, I. occidentalis, L. glaber, L. illawarrensis, L. arator, Sauvagesinella palustris, Diorygopyx cuspidatus, D. asciculifer, D. duplodentatus, D. niger, D. incrassatus, D. simpliciclunis, D. incomptus, Temnoplectron bornemisszai, T. laevigatum, T. disruptum, T. involucre, T. aeneopiceum, and T. subvolitans. The following ten specific names a x newly synonymized (the synonym first): Cephalodesmius magnini Paulian and teissieri Paulian = C. laticollis Pascoe; C. minor Blackburn = C. armiger Westwood; Canthonosoma planum Sharp = C. mastersi Macleay; Amphistomus aeneopiceus Waterhouse = A. calcaratus Maclcay; Monoplistes lucidus Macleay = M. occidentalis Macleay; Temnoplectron reyi Paulian = T. politulum Macleay; Ifeteroateuchus oberthuri Paulian = Parachorius globusus Arrow; Epilissus sydneyensis Paulian = Ceocanthon politus Harold. Eleven previously described species are transferred to other genera, as follows: Cephalodesmius cornutus Macleay to Boletoscapter, gen. nov.; Panelus hopsoni Carter to Aptenocanthon, gen. nov.; Epilissus ustulatus and E. globulus Macleay to Lepanus Balthasar; Panelus bidentatus Wilson, P. dichrous Gillet, P. pygmaeus Macleay, P. pisoniae Lea, and P. politus Carter to Lepanus Balthasar; Tesserodon becki Paulian to Sauvagesinella Paulian; Temnoplectron tibiale Macleay to Diorygopyx, gen. nov.

Some Mesozoic scolecodonts congeneric with Recent forms

Abstract: The principles of comparing the jaws of the fossil and Recent polychaetes are here discussed. A Jurassic jaw apparatus is described and assigned to the Recent genus Ophryotrocha . Other jaws of polychaetes not having composite apparatus are assigned to Recent genera Glycera and ?Goniada. It has been found that the Paranereites, a scolecodont genus common in the Mesozoic, is a synonym of the genus Glycera. Other scolecodonts, considered by some authors as ancestors of the Recent genera Nereis and Glycera, are not closely related to these polychaetes. The generic assignment of the Mesozoic scolecodonts, usually included in the genus Goniada, is not certain. It has also been found that the Mesozoic polychaetes are moooe closely rela.ted to the Recent rather than the Palaeozoic genera.

A revision of the apterus-group of the genus tachinus gravenhorst (coleoptera: staphylinidae)

Abstract: Four species have been described in the apterus-group of the staphylinid genus Tachinus Gravenhorst. One of these, tundrae Poppius, is regarded as a synonym of brevipennis Sahlberg. Tachinus arcticus (Motschulsky) is recognized as a valid species, although earlier works have considered it a synonym of apterus. Tachinus brevipennis is recorded from the Nearctic Region for the first time. A neotype is designated for arcticus and lectotypes are designated for brevipennis and tundrae. Tachinus instabilis Maklin is transferred to the apterus-group from the fimbriatus-group and recorded for the first time from Siberia. One new species, T. glacialis, is described from Siberia.A key for identification of the species of the group and a description of the group characters are included. Each of the five species is described and the major diagnostic characters illustrated with scanning electron photomicrographs. A map is included to show the distribution of the species.

Notes on the lizerini blanchard with descriptions of new lizerius and paoliella species from south america and africa (homoptera: aphididae)

Abstract: Four species of Lizerius Blanchard, L. cermelii, L. intermedius, L. costai and L. brasiliensis, from South America and four species of Paoliella Theobald, P. reticulosiphon and P. melanocallis from South America, and P. pteleopsidis and P. longirostris from Africa, are described as new. Redescriptions of L. tuberculatus (Blanchard) and P. kenyensis (Eastop) are also given, with keys for the species of Lizerius and Paoliella. Neolizerius is made a synonym of Lizerius. A new subgenus Paralizerius is established. Adhesive vesicles are reported for the two South American Paoliella species. The phylogenetic relationships of the Lizerini are discussed. It is concluded that this tribe branched off from Mindarus–Neophyllaphis-like aphids and that the Schoutedeniini evolved from ancestors that were related to the Lizerini.

On some new and described species of arrhenophagine Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera)

Abstract: The species of Arrhenophagus Aurivillius are revised following examination of types. Arrhenophagus intermedius Blanchard and A. parlatoreae (Risbec) are synonymized with A. chionaspidis Aurivillius, and A. albipes Girault is placed as a synonym of A. albitibiae Girault. The type species of Arrhenophagoidea, A. coloripes Girault, is redescriptionbed and three new South African species are descriptionbed, namely rolaspidis, chaetacmae and sierra. A key is given to the females of the species of Arrhenophagoidea.

Studies on Spirostreptoid Millipeds. XIII.: Supplementary notes on the Genus Urostreptus

Abstract: Summary Exospermastix robustus Verhoeff, 1951 (Mato Grosso, nr Cuiaba) is regarded as a species of Urostreptus; the gonopods of the type specimen are illustrated and their structure discussed. The species is in many ways similar to U. camerani and U. paxillatus, but is much larger than either. The status of the generic and specific names Stenostreptus hassleri Carl is reviewed after a study of the type material, and the previous estimate of hassleri as a species of Urostreptus is reaffirmed. New drawings made from the lectotype of hassleri are given. The gonopods of a species identified as U. borelli by F. Silvestri, the author of that name, are illustrated, and the suggestion made that borelli may be found to be a senior synonym of hassleri.

The Brunetti types of Tipulidae (Diptera) in the collection of the Zoological survey of India : Part III, Tipula Linnaeus

Abstract: Thirty four species of Tipula Linnaeus and one species of Pachyrhina Macquart, which also falls under the former, described by Brunetti, are studied. Brunetti doubtfully kept two specimens under Tipula (Schummelia) continuata which belong to a new species, Tipula (Schummelia) alexanderi. It is shown that Tipula (Acutipula) fumicosta Brunetti and T. (A.) quadrinotata Brunetti are antonymous and Tipula (Ramatipula) oreoctisies Alexander is a synonym of T. (R.) flavithorax Brunetti.

Taxonomic status of barbe's leaf-monkey,Presbytis barbei Blyth

Abstract: The taxonomic status ofPresbytis barbeiBlyth has been discussed in the light of fresh collections obtained from its type localityviz Tripura, India. The study reveals thatPresbytis barbeiBlyth (1847) is nothing but a synonym ofPresbytis phayrei phayreiBlyth and the so called type specimens ofbarbei present in the Zoological Survey of India, Calcutta, appear to be wrongly labelled specimens ofPresbytis cristatus atriorPocock.

Typification of linnaean species of oats, avena

Abstract: This name does not pose a serious typification problem. Linnaeus repeated the phrase name of the Hortus cliffortianus, and this is also used in Hortus upsaliensis. The specimen associated with that phrase name is conserved in the British Museum (BM)l and its identity agrees with A. sativa of most authors and its traditional meaning. But the specimen (Fig. 1) quotes "var. ,f", i.e. alba. At Stockholm (S) I was able to examine another syntype, namely that of the Hortus Upsaliensis which bears the following annotation "4 Avena sativa Hort. Ups. 1.20.1.f 'Herb. Casstrimii'." This, too, is var. d, and taxonomically identical. A specimen with the same identity annotated "sativa 5" by Linnaeus and conserved now in London (LINN), no. 95.6 (Savage, 1945 p. 19), although closely linked to the Species Plantarum because of Linnaeus's annotation of the number 5, may be considered as another syntype. Because all the Linnean material examined is of one species, and the collections at BM and S most likely have been in Linnaeus' hands I designate the BM specimen as the lectotype, and the S and LINN specimens as paralectotypes. I was unable to examine the Van Royen paralectotype. Furthermore, my searches in Uppsala (UPS) were in vain, for in the Burser herbarium I did not find any specimen pertinent to the Bauhin synonym Avena nigra or to var. f,. For the latter it is not serious, because the lectotype and the paralectotype from S are also its types. There is another specimen in LINN, no. 95.7 (Savage, 1945 p. 19) annotated by Linnaeus "A. ponderosa H.U." but never published, and known only from Jackson (1912). It is also A. sativa L.

Some Collembola from Ibiza with descriptions of three new species, and a note on Hypogastrura serrata (Ågren, 1904)

Abstract: A first list of Collembola from Ibiza is presented, based on material extracted from two soil samples in midwinter. Out of the 13 species that are recorded three are new to science, viz.: Hypogastrura pityusica, Lathriopyga ibicensis and Neosminthurus natalicius. The latter species forms the first European record of the genus Neosminthurus Mills, 1934. Another interesting discovery was that of Folsomides marchicus (Frenzel, 1941); arguments are brought forward that this species is a senior synonym of Subisotoma petiti Delamare Deboutteville, 1948. The holotype of Hypogastrura serrata (Agren, 1904) has been studied and some additions to the original description are presented. It is found that the specimen was heavily infected by Sporozoa; it is suggested that some characters reported as differentiating this taxon, in particular the serrated setae, might be caused by ecomorphic processes triggered by this infection.

New species and records of pseudocaeciliidae (psocoptera) from south-east australia

Abstract: The genus Pseudoscottiella Badonnel is recorded for the first time from Australia on the basis of three new species from Victoria, crenulata sp. n., rotundata sp. n. and yeni sp. n. Heterocaecilius diogenes Lee and Thornton is reduced to a synonym of Pseudocaecilius brunellus (Tillyard), and the latter transferred to Heterocaecilius Lee and Thornton. Additional Australian records of this species and of Cladioneura pulchripennis Enderlein are given.

The Taxonomic Position of Euphorbia petiolata and the Reduction of E. postii (Euphorbiaceae)

Abstract: Euphorbia petiolata Banks & Sol., perhaps better known by its synonym E. lanata Sieber ex Spreng., is a widespread and common densely woolly annual spurge in the drier parts of SW. Asia, ranging from Israel, Lebanon & Syria eastwards to the Turkmen S.S.R. and Pakistan; it is also found in Algeria. In his monographic treatment of Euphorbia in De Candolle's 'Prodromus', Edmund Boissier (1862) created a special subsection, Crotonopsideae, of his section Tithymalus to accommodate E. petiolata, which presents certain features which when taken together are rather anomalous for the group, notably (a) the great proportion of the plant-body contributed to by the rays, (b) the petiolate ray-leaves, (c) the pectinate cyathial glands, (d) the undivided styles and (e) the pustulate seeds. If Boissier's section Tithymalus is raised to subgeneric level, as was done, for example, in 'Flora Europaea', Vol. 2 (1968), then it has to be referred to as subgenus Esula Pers., which is the earliest available name for the taxon at this rank. In this event, it is desirable to raise Boissier's sub-sections to the level of section, when subsection Crotonopsideae has to be referred to as section Dematra (Raf.) Prokh., the earliest available name for the taxon at sectional rank.

Anatanais normani (Richardson) found near Bermuda and notes on other Anatanais species

Abstract: Five specimens of Anatanais normani (Richardson, 1905), one of them ovigerous, were collected SE of Bermuda in floating Sargassum natans. They are compared with Richardson's type material and some important features of this are also described. The main difference lies in the smaller size of the Bermuda specimens. Anatanais lineatus (Nordenstam, 1930) is considered a synonym of A, normani (Richardson).

New genera, species and generic transfers of neotropical odontiinae (lepidoptera: pyralidae)

Abstract: The following new genera and species are described: Alatuncusiodes n. gen., type-species A . korytkowskii n. sp., Peru; Argyrarcha n. gen., type-species Boeotarcha margarita Warren, of which Hyaloplaga ankarampotsyalis Viette is a synonym; Mecynarcha n. gen., type-species Mecyna apicalis Hampson; Cymbopteryx pseudobelialis n. sp., Bolivia; Cymbopteryx diffusa n. sp., Mexico; Noctueliopsis decolorata n. sp., Baja California, Mexico; Noctueliopsis grandis n. sp., Baja California, Mexico. Scybalista subductalis Walker is transferred to Alatuncusia Amsel; Thelcteria ysticalis Dyar is transferred to Schacontia Dyar; Edia extralinea Dyar is transferred provisionally to Cymbopteryx Munroe.

Lutzomyia Cirrita N. SP. from Colombia with a New Synonym in the Genus (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)

Abstract: The male and female of Lutzomyia cirrita n. sp. are described and illustrated from specimens collected in Antioquia Dep., Colombia. It was usually taken in human biting collections and is related to L. peruensis (Shann.). L. montoyai (Sherlock) is a junior synonym of L. osornoi (Rist. and Van Ty) another Colombian sand fly closely related to L. cirrita (NEW SYNONYMY).

Taxonomic and Nomenclatural Studies in the Gramineae, No. 3

Abstract: Digitaria porrecia, D. fumida Paspalidium disjunction, P. gausum and P. scabrifolium are new species. The name Panicum divaricatissimum R. Br. Var. glaberrimum Benth. Should be treated as a synonym of digitaria divaricatissima (R.Br.) hughes
