A REVISION OF THE NEW WORLD AND PACIFIC PHTHITIA ENDERLEIN (DIPTERA; SPHAEROCERIDAE; LIMOSININAE), INCLUDING KIMOSINA ROHÁčEK, NEW SYNONYM AND AUBERTINIA RICHARDS, NEW SYNONYM

Abstract: The non-Palaearctic species of the genus Phthitia Enderlein are revised, including descriptions of 30 species, of which 19 are described as new by the first author: P. antillensis, P. bicalyx, P. cercipilus, P. mulroneyi, P. digiseta, P. digistylus, P. lineasterna, P. lobocercus, P. luteocercus, P. luteofrons, P. megocula, P. merida, P. nigrifacies, P. notthomasi, P. obunca, P. occimosa, P. ovicercus, P. quadricercus, and P. spinicalyx. The genera Kimosina Rohacek and Aubertinia Richards are newly placed in synonymy with Phthitia, and the following new combinations are given for species previously in Kimosina: Phthitia chilenica (Duda), P. antipoda (Rohacek), P. rennelli (Harrison), P. thomasi (Harrison), P. empirica (Hutton), P. levigena (Spuler), P. plumosula (Rondani), P. spinosa (Collin), P. pappi (Rohacek), P. glabrescens (Villeneuve), P. ciliata (Duda), P. longisetosa (Dahl), P. sicana (Munari), P. soikai (Munari), and Archicollinella dolichoptera (Richards). Phthitia sanctaehelenae (Richards) is given as a new combination for Aubertinia sanctaehelenae Richards. Limosina phycophila Richards is a new junior synonym of Archicollinella caerulea (Duda). A key, illustrations, descriptions of adults, distribution maps, and a phylogeny are provided for all New World and Pacific species. The puparium of P. empirica is described. A lectotype is designated for P. chilenica.

Revision der Familie Cylindrachetidae Giglio-Tos, 1914 (Orthoptera, Tridactyloidea)

Abstract: The family Cylindrachetidae Giglio-Tos, 1914 is revised. Supplementary redescriptions are given to all hitherto known two genera (Cylindracheta Kirby, 1906 and Cylindroryctes Tindale, 1928) and six species. The genus Cylindraustraliagen. n. and ten species of this taxon (C. acutasp. n., C. centricolasp. n., C. cookensissp. n., C. divisasp. n., C. granulatasp. n., C. karumbensissp. n., C. parakochiasp. n., C. parvitarsatasp. n., C. setosasp. n., C. tindaleisp. n.) are described as new to science. A lectotype of Cylindroryctes spegazzinii (Giglio-Tos, 1914) is designated. Now 3 genera and 16 species belong to this family. Cylindracheta psammophila Tindale, 1928 is a younger synonym of Cylindraustralia kochii (Saussure, 1877). Keys to the genera and species are included. The geographical distribution and the relationship of the taxa is discussed.

Homopus ‘bergeri’—a wrong name for a new tortoise from southern namibia

Abstract: A brief review of the discovery and status of the population of padloper tortoises (Homopus) from the rocky mountains around Aus in southern Namibia, that have recently been referred to Homopus bergeri, is given. The tortoises are not refereable to any currently recognized Homopus, and re-examination of the type of Homopus bergeri Undholm 1906 confirms that it is a juinior synonym of Psammobates tentorius verroxii and therefore unavailable as a name for the Aus tortoise.

Revision of the African Cetoniinae V: genus Ichnestoma Gory & Percheron (including Gariep Péringuey) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

Abstract: The genus Ichnestoma Gory & Percheron, including Gariep PA©ringuey as a synonym, is revised. Three new species, Ichnestoma perstriata, Ichnestoma stobbiai and Ichnestoma krikkeni, and one new subspecies, Ichnestoma albomaculata fuscipennis, are described. Ichnestoma tristis Schaumis considered a synonym of I. albomaculata albomaculata Gory & Percheron and Ichnestoma coetzeri Allard is ranked as a subspecies of I. cuspidata (Fabricius). The nine recognized species and subspecies are described or redescribed, illustrated, and an identification key is provided.

Notes on the two species of family dipterocarpaceae found in xishuangbanna

Abstract: A revision is made to the species of Dipterocarps found in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. The specific epithet of Parashorea chinensis Wang Hsie is a basonym which is transferred to the new combination Shorea chinensis (Wang Hsie) H. Zhu. While the Vatica xishuangbannaensis G.D.Tao et J. H. Zhang is a synonym of Vatica guangxiensis X. L. Mo. In addition, their relative affinities of these two taxa are discussed.

The rehabilitation of Sclerotinia bresadolae

Abstract: Described from oak apple galls and fallen buds of Quercus robur in the Netherlands and recently synonymized with Ciborinia candolleana, Sclerotinia bresadolae is reinstated as an independent species after studying Rick’s type material in Oudemans’s herbarium and fresh collections on oak apples from England and Germany. According to Boudier’s figures and published descriptions, and the study of two English collections, Ciborinia hirtella seems to be a synonym.

With notes on j. l. leconte types

Abstract: Corticarina milleri and C. eichlini are described as new. They are compared to the morphologically similar C. herbivagans LeConte. C. herbivigans (sensu Johnson 1972) is C. eichlini. Corticarina herbivagans is redescribed. These species are compared to other North American species. Selected LeConte types were studied. New synonomy is proposed: Corticarina cavicollis (Mannerheim) (= Corticaria laevis LeConte and Corticaria expansa LeConte). John LeConte described Corticaria herbivagans in 1855. Fall (1899) placed herbivagans as a synonym of the European species Melanophthalma (Corticarina) similata (Gyllenhal). Melanophthalma and Corticarina are now recognized as distinct genera. Johnson (1972) showed that C. herbivagans has a distinctive aedeagus, is not synonymous with C. similata, and is a valid species. Two undescribed species have been discovered along coastal California that cannot be consistently separated from C. herbivagans or each other on external morphology, but can be easily separated by the male genitalia. Investigation of the LeConte types shows that the species Johnson (1972) discussed as C.
