Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, deel 127, afl. 1 Gepubliceerd 10-VIII-1984 GENERIC NAMES OF COLLEMBOLA: SUPPLEMENT 1973-1983 by WILLEM N. ELLIS Zoölogisch Museum, Plantage Middenlaan 64, Amsterdam and PETER F. BELLINGER Biology Department, California State University, Northridge, California ABSTRACT An update is presented of the list of Collembolan generic names that was published by the authors in 1973. Some 109 new generic names are included in the list. Full bibliographic citations and records of the type selec- tion are given for each nominal genus. Some errors of the previous list are corrected and a few Opinions have been included. INTRODUCTION In the decade that has passed since the publication of our annotated list of generic names of Col- lembola!), many new names have been proposed. A few homonyms have been renamed and Opin- ions have been published deciding the cases brought by us before the International Commission. We therefore think it worthwhile to present an update to our prior list, at the same time using the opportunity to correct some errors and imprecisions that had remained in the original. We have included all new names and nomenclatural actions that have come to our attention. It is possible that we have omitted some names in publications of the last year or two which we have not seen; we would appreciate it if our colleagues would call our attention to such omissions. All new names have been checked against Neave’s Nomenclator Zoologicus and its supplements, and against the lists of new generic and subgeneric names that appear annually in series 20 of the Zoo- logical Record. In the original publication we neglected to state explicitly that the capital letters F, M and N sig- nified the nomenclatural gender of the name: Feminine, Masculine and Neuter. The same conven- tion is used in the present update. New taxa are marked with an asterisk. Entries are intended to modify the original entry, or to be inserted at the appropriate point in alphabetic order in the origi- nal list. Acanthonotus Von Olfers* Manuscript name for Stylonotus lanuginosus Von Olfers, cf. Handschin, 1926 (Ent. Mitt. 15 (2): 174). Unavailable name. Acheroxenylla Ellis, 1976* Tijdschr. Ent. 119 (+): 237. Type-species: A. cretensis Ellis, 1976, l.c., by original designation. F. Adbiloba Stach, 1951 Note: Cassagnau, 1979 (Biologia gallo-hellenica 8: 187) subsequently selected Adbiloba pauliani Massoud, 1963, as type-species; this action, however, is contrary to art. 61 of the International Code.

Type-species: Odontella septemlobata Salmon, 1954, by original designation. F. Albanura Cassagnau, 1983* Nouv. Revue Ent. 13 (1): 7, 15, 18. Type-species: Neanura (Deutonura) nana Cassagnau & Peja, 1979, by original designation. F. Note: the generic name Albanura is attributed by Cassagnau to “Deharveng, 1982”, but the pa- per by Deharveng is cited as still in press. Since, however, Cassagnau’s paper does not present a diagnosis of Albanura, his usage of the name must be considered an unavailable nomen nudum. Allochaefferia Must be Alloschaefferia [our misspelling]. Americanura Cassagnau, 1983* Nouv. Revue Ent. 13 (1): 11, 15. Type-species: Americanura mexicana Cassagnau, 1983, l.c., by original designation. F. Note: both the generic name and that of the type-species are attributed to a paper in print by Cassagnau & Palacios Vargas. As the published information contains a nomenclaturally valid diag- nose of the new genus (and by implication the type-species as well), the present publication takes precedence. Anaphorura Izarra, 1972* Physis B. Aires 31 (83): 547, ut subgenus Tullbergia Lubbock, 1867. Type-species: Tullbergia (Anaphorura) lavadoi Izarra, 1972, |.c., by monotypy. F.

Note: the generic name appeared the same year a few months earlier in Pedobiologia 14 (2/5): 180, 181, as a nomen nudum. Anurida Laboulbéne, 1965 Add a line to the note: According to Cowan, J. Soc. Bibliogr. nat. Hist. 6 (1): 18-29, the plate figuring Achorutes mariti- mus was probably issued in August 1837. Assamanura Cassagnau, 1980* Trav. Lab. Ecobiol.

Type-species: Bourletiellitas imerinensis Betsch, 1974, L.c., by original designation. M. Note: the generic name appeared a few months earlier in the same year in Pedobiologia 14 (2/5): 180, 181, as a nomen nudum. The gender of the name was originally not stated; it must therefore be treated as masculine, on the base of art. 30b(ii). Calistella Schott, 1902 Note: the genus is attributed by Schott, l.c., to Reuter, but there is no evidence that this is any- thing more than a politeness. Caputanurina Lee, 1983* Korean J. Ent. 13 (1): 28. Type-species: Caputanurina serrata Lee, 1983, l.c., by original designation. F. Cassagnaudiella Ellis, 1975* Bull. zool. Mus. Univ.

Note: the type selection reads: “subgénerotype: phlegraea (Caroli, 1910) sensu da Gama 1964”. ELLIS & BELLINGER: Generic names Collembola 5 “Caroli, 1910” is a lapsus calami for “Caroli, 1912” as given by da Gama. The slightly irregular form of the type selection cannot be resolved with art. 70(b). Dicranorchesella Mari Mutt, 1977* Proc. ent. Soc. Wash. 79 (3): 377.

Type-species: Achorutes natalensis Womersley, 1934, by original designation. F. Note: the original type selection designated Ectonura [Achorutes] natalensis (Womersley, 1934) sensu Coates, 1968. There is no indication in Coates’ or Cassagnau’s papers that Coates’ determina- tion of Womersley’s species is erroneous, and therefore art. 70(b) of the Code does not apply.

GASKIN Department of Zoology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT The Indo-Oriental genus Roxita Bleszynski is redefined. Four new species, apicella, flet- cheri, mululella and reductella are described. Modestia Bleszynski is a synonym of Roxita and the two species M. szetschwanella (Caradja) and M. bipunctella (Wileman & South) are transferred to Roxita, as is Diptychophora adspersella Snellen. Bleszynski concluded that Modestia (= Roxita) was closely allied to Pareromene Osthelder (Crambinae, Diptycho- phorini); in fact the genitalia of both sexes show many characters linking them to Coryno- phora Berg and Tawhitia Philpott (Crambinae, Crambini, Corynophorina). The zoogeo- graphy of Roxita is briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION In 1963 Bleszynski established the monotypic genus Roxita to accommodate a new species eu- rydyce, based on the series (two specimens) of | Culladia szetschwanella f. modesta Caradja & Meyrick (1933: 140, nomen nudum). Later he described a new genus Modestia Bleszynski (1965: 64) and transferred szetschwanella prop- er to that genus from Culladia Moore, designat- | ing a male of the syntypic series (5 males, 1 fe- male) as a lectotype. Previously (1963: 28) he has synonymized Crambus modestellus Caradja (praeocc. by Crambus modestellus Barnes & McDunnough, 1918) with szetschwanella. He also commented (1965: 65) that f. modesta was either a nomen nudum or an incorrect spelling of modestellus, and indicated that “. . . the spec- imens listed as f. modesta belonged to a totally different genus and species which he planned to describe later” (my quotes, from translation). It is quite evident he had forgotten that he had al- ready described these specimens as the type of Roxita eurydyce (1963: 176), and also failed to recognize that they were members of the same genus as szetschwanella. The latter error was particularly puzzling un- til Mr. Michael Shaffer of the British Museum of Natural History obtained the type series from the Muzeul G. Antipa in Bucharest for the au- thor, and observed that the female was a dam- aged and undescribed species of Glaucocharis Meyrick. It seems likely that Bleszynski was misled in his conclusions about the status of f. modesta by the genitalia of this misidentified specimen. Further comparative studies and a search of the British Museum collections in close cooper- ation with Mr. Shaffer led to the conclusion that both described species of Modestia, M. szetsch- wanella (Caradja) and M. bipunctella (Wileman & South) should be transferred to Roxita, that Modestia was a synonym of Roxita, that Dipty- chophora adspersella Snellen should also be transferred to Roxita, and that four previously undescribed species apicella n. sp., fletcheri n. sp., mululella n. sp. and reductella n. sp. should also be assigned to Roxita. All seven species are rather small, yellowish or brownish crambine moths, with or without fasciae, 10—17 mm in wingspan, which could be confused with several diptychophorine genera on the basis of external appearance. They were therefore of considera- ble interest to the author, who is revising the world Diptychophorini. The genitalia of the known females of Roxita sp. however, are quite distinctively corynophorine, with an external limen formed by fusion of the lamellae ante- and postvaginales, so that the extremity of the antrum protrudes. Nor is the structure of the male valvae at all characteristic of the quadrate form (with undeveloped sacculus) typical of Glaucocharis and most other diptychophorine 18 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 2, 1984 genera. On the basis of the former morphology alone Roxita must be excluded from the Dipty- chophorini, as defined by Gaskin (1971). The subtribe Corynophorina, previously known only from Australia and New Zealand (Gaskin, 1975: 376) has its distribution greatly extended by the addition of Roxita to the two genera previously assigned, Corynophora Berg and Tawhitia Philpott. The distribution of Rox- ita itself may be extended by future discoveries, but at present appears to be exclusively Indo- Oriental. Roxita exhibits several specialized features in addition to loss of forewing m,; the most signif- icant of these is atrophy of the juxta in most species. In Tawhitia species the juxta is re- tained, and the saccus of the male has a charac- teristic ventral flap. The anal papillae of female Tawbitia are fused distally to form a “dutch clog-shaped” structure. Corynophora is decid- edly more primitive than either of the above genera; the anal papillae are barely fused distal- ly, the corpus bursae bears unmodified signa reminiscent of those found in generalized Crambina, the evagination of the sterigmal scle- rites is rudimentary (albeit present) in contrast to the condition in the other genera, and in the male the narrowing of the valva and the segre- gation and elaboration of the costal region has not progressed far. The uncus, gnathos, sacculus and ventral region of the valvae however, are es- sentially the same structures found in other gen- era. The morphology of the venation and geni- talic structures in both sexes provides strong ev- idence for common ancestry. The Corynophorina present an interesting zoogeographical problem. One of the alterna- tive hypotheses put forward by Gaskin (1975: 274) concerning the evolution of Crambini was the postulation of southern origin. The Coryno- phorina were believed to have been isolated in Australia and New Zealand, while the Crambi- na, with a less restricted Gondwanic distribu- tion, avoided this isolation and were able to col- onize tropical grasslands and eventually the temperate grasslands of the northern hemi- sphere. Obviously, while southern origin re- mains a strong possibility, the corynophorine isolation hypothesis must now be re-assessed. Two alternatives present themselves; 1) Were the Corynophorina more widely dispersed in the southern hemisphere before the separation of Australia from Antarctica than previously thought? or 2) Is the present distribution the re- sult of extension of range from Australia into southern Asia in the late Tertiary, with subse- quent isolations leading to further speciation? The former appears most likely, for several reasons. True Australian faunal elements appear to have had little success colonizing the tropics to the north of the continent, except for pene- trations into New Guinea. The most primitive genus of the Corynophorina, Corynophora it- self, has survived, like so many other relict groups, in isolation in Australia. Modification of the basic corynophorine plan in the more specialized genus Tawhitia could well be related to this genus being distributed in the extreme southeast of Australia and in southern New Zealand, areas which have had more radical late Tertiary geomorphological and climatic histo- ries than much of subtropical and warm-tem- perate eastern Australia (see Fleming, 1962, 1963a, b, for example) and hence perhaps expe- rienced more rigorous selection pressures. Both Tawhitia and Roxita possess characters obviously apomorphic with respect to Coryno- phora, but they are not the same characters, suggesting segregated radiation over a long pe- riod. The valval elaborations in Roxita are quite characteristic, and the juxta has become atro- phied. In Tawhitia the latter structure has be- come rather strong and complex. While Cory- nophora so far is known only from Australia, one species of Tawhitia is endemic to the alpine habitat of the South Island of New Zealand. The New Zealand alpine (T. glaucophanes Philpott) may well be a relict derivate of ancient eastern Gondwanic stock; the other species (T. penta- dactyla (Zeller)) on the other hand, is so close to the Australian form that colonization in or even since Quaternary time has to be a distinct possi- bility. Corynophorines seem to be absent from Af- rica and South America, yet common to all major geographic zones of the Indo-Austral- asian/Oriental regions. It seems reasonable therefore, to assume that the segregation, speci- ation and dispersal of Roxita occurred in the northern Gondwanic periphery, i.e. what is now the Malaysian-southern Oriental region, with subsequent colonization of India and Cey- lon. It must not be overlooked however, that one of the least specialized members of the ge- nus occurs in Sri Lanka. Absence of Roxita from South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand tends to imply that its radiation has been a phenomenon of the middle to late Tert- GASKIN: The genus Roxita 19 fletcheri reductella as szetschwanella 5 zdf eurydyce 47 bipunctella CY apicella Fig. 1.

Within Roxita itself three distinct species groups can be recognized. Differences in size and habitus are at first sight rather extreme in this genus, but are in fact no greater than those found within Orocrambus Purdie of New Zea- land (Gaskin, 1975). The closest relationship is that between apicella and mululella, distributed in West and East Malaysia respectively (fig. 1), indicating a similar history to butterflies of “faunal element 1B” of this region (Holloway, 1973), and prompting speculation that the genus will be found in Sumatra as well, and possibly in the Lesser Sunda Islands, Celebes and the Phil- ippines. The relationships of reductella cannot be determined without further material. The Oriental species bipunctella and szetschwanella | of Taiwan and western China are closely re- lated, as might be expected. The third group, containing adspersella of Sri Lanka, fletcheri of northern India and eurydyce of southeast China, is the most widely distributed. As might be expected, although there are clear attinities between the species, these are not quite as close as those among the previous species pairs. As aforementioned, the Sri Lanka species is the most primitive of these three, in contrast to the usual situation where faunal elements of Sri Lanka and southern India are derivative with respect to northern India (Holloway, 1974).

Vinculum absent, or in- distinguishable from lateral wall of saccus. Sac- cus moderate, bluntly rounded, about 0.5 x length of uncus. Juxta weak, rhomboidal. Valva about twice length of uncus, with strong demar- cation of broad costal region. Costa terminating in a large, curved, strong apical prong, dorsad of which is a blunt lobe at termination of costal sector. Valva proper very elongate, tapered to point, with weak cucullus. Sub-basal part of val- va has a weak elongate ridge which may repre- sent demarcation of a distinct saccular region. Aedeagus massive, stout, LMB ratio about 5 : 1, lacking cornuti, but with sub-apical ridge at right angles to longitudinal axis. Female genitalia. — Fig. 17.

Eighth abdominal ter- gite quite massive, about twice as long as anal papillae, fused in latero-ventral lines with mar- gins of antrum. Anterior apophyses about 0.75 X length of posteriors. Lamella postvaginalis forming a very strong dorsal roof to antrum; it is to this plate that the tergite margins fuse. La- mella antevaginalis forming a similar, but curved, apically spatulate plate, half of which projects some distance beyond the curved pos- terior margin of the seventh sternite. Ductus bursae about 3.5 X length of posterior apo- physes, with a “kink” in the partly recurved portion at about 0.3—0.4, ductus seminalis junction obscure in available preparation, but apparently at about 0.4.

While the valval costa is charac- teristically differentiated (fig. 16) it is of essen- tially simpler structure than in the other species. R. adspersella forms a rather discrete species subgroup with A. fletcheri; both are considerab- ly smaller (10—13 mm) than other members of the genus and more closely related to R. eury- dyce than any other species. Discovery of adspersella in India would not be surprising. Roxita fletcheri new species (figs. 8, 18, 19) External characters. — Labial palpi 2 X head length, whitish-scaled. Head whitish, frons rounded. Thorax creamy yellow, legs, abdomen similar. Forewings (fig. 8) with grey ground colour, costa clouded basally with mid-brown. Basal fascia absent, antemedial fascia touching costa at about 0.6, dark brown, rather indistinct, angled sharply at about 0.2, the costal extremity marked distally with a small yellow bar. Discal region grey, with slight brown costal clouding, but penetrated from silvery white subterminal band by neural stripes of solid yellow scaling reaching central discal region. Post-medial fas- cia narrowly edged proximally by yellow, more thickly distally by blackish scaling. Outer mar- gin of fascia sharply angled twice, touching the margin at about 0.3 and 0.7 (these angles are im- portant features for distinguishing this species from adspersella on forewing pattern). Apical region and the two other marginal areas cut off by angles of postmedial fascia, all buff, with a pair of black marginal spots at 0.5 and 0.6. Ter- minal extremity of apex bearing a wedge of golden brown scales. Ventral surface mid-grey- ish brown, with marginal and apical markings faintly repeated from dorsal surface. Hind-wings mid-brown, slightly paler be- neath, with sinuate termen. Wing expanse 11—13 mm. Male genitalia. — Fig. 18. Uncus nearly straight in profile, narrow when viewed from below, apex sharply pointed. Gnathos only slightly shorter than uncus, apically rounded and slightly spatulate. Tegumen weak, narrow.

The early stages are unknown. It is clearly distinguishable from adspersella by the form of the postmedial fascia of the forewing, the complex spinose costa of the male valva, and the ventrally fused eighth abdominal tergite with short anterior apophyses in the female.

Remarks. — As indicated in the Introduction, the paratype female of the type series is in fact referable to the genus Glaucocharis Meyrick. The specimen is very damaged and does not merit description as a new species until more material is obtained. While eurydyce stands a little isolated from szetschwanella and bipunc- tella on one hand, and apicella and mululella on the other, the affinities in male genitalic charac- ters with fletcheri and adspersella are striking. Bleszynski’s statement (1963: 178) that the spe- cies was described from “two females” is ob- viously a simple typographic error.

I also present fig. 10, provided for comparative purposes. Male genitalia. — Fig. 20. Illustrated by Bleszynski (1965, pl. 34 fig. 17) redrawn and re- described here, with re-interpretations. Uncus and gnathos about equal in length, sharply and bluntly pointed and curved ventrad and dorsad respectively. Tegumen simple. Saccus somewhat tapered in preparation, but probably rounded in reality. Vinculum an elongate triangular struc- ture about 0.4 X as wide as length of uncus. Juxta not recognized in preparation. Valva about 3 X length of uncus (4 X if apical costal prong included). Costal region strong, massive- ly sub-pyramidal at about 0.8, then terminating in apical prong, curved slightly posteriad, and about length of uncus. Valva proper apically and moderately tapered, with weak cucullus, and an introrse ventral fold, bearing a sub-basal curved prong at about 0.4 from base, and a much longer (nearly 1.5 X length of uncus) flat- tened, gently tapered prong with rounded apex. Aedeagus about equal to length of valva, tubu- lar, truncate, LMB ratio about 10:1, apical quarter slightly curved and scobinate. Female genitalia. — Fig. 21.

Bleszynski (1965) to be in the Antipa collection in Bucharest, could not be obtained for re-ex- amination. Since this is the only known female, Bleszynski’s figure is redrawn here. His draw- ing reveals relatively little detail, and the junc- tion of the ductus seminalis was not shown. The margin of the antrum however, can be seen to be extruded from the membrane posterior to the seventh sternite, and the base of the antrum is fused with the latero-anterior angles of the eighth tergite. The corpus bursae is asignate. Types. — Lectotype d, China, Kwanshien, Szetschwan, Etikette coll., Muzeul G. Antipa, Bucharest. Also 4 d and 1 ® paralectotypes, Bucharest.

This latter specimen has been used for a venation preparation. Another d bears a label “Gewalt von Dr. F. Gregor fur Micr. Pal.”, and is the specimen figured by Bleszynski (1965, pl. 2 fig. 17). Remarks. — Closely related to R. bipunctella of Taiwan, but the forewing of szetschwanella is proportionally more slender, with more white in the distal position of the apical triangle. The female of szetschwanella lacks the swollen sub- ostiolar sac present in bipunctella and the costal prong of the male valva is quite slender and not recurved in the former species.

THEOWALD. — Taxonomie, Phylogenie und Biogeographie der Untergattung Tipula (Tipula) Linnaeus, 1758 (Insecta, Diptera, Tipulidae), pp. 33—78, figs. 124. 1, Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, deel 127, afl. 3 Gepubliceerd 10-VIII-1984 TAXONOMIE, PHYLOGENIE UND BIOGEOGRAPHIE DER UNTERGATTUNG TIPULA (TIPULA) LINNAEUS, 1758 (INSECTA, DIPTERA, TIPULIDAE) von BR. THEOWALD Instituut voor Taxonomische Zoölogie (Zoölogisch Museum), Plantage Middenlaan 64, 1018 DH Amsterdam ABSTRACT All species recently mentioned as belonging to the subgenus Tipula (Tipula) are studied. Five are excluded from the subgenus: dichroa Bezzi (Acutipula), jonesi Alexander (Lepto- tarsus), microcephala Bigot (Lecteria), rothschildi Alexander (Savtshenkia) and setosipennis Alexander (Yamatotipula). New synonymies are: abyssinica Jaennicke, 1867 = strigata Loew, 1866; bevisiana Alexander, 1956 soror mashona Alexander, 1920; curtipennis Mannheims, 1961 = eumecacera Speiser, 1909; niligena Jaennicke, 1867 = bicolor Loew, 1866; venturi Loi, 1964 = plumbea Fabricius, 1781. Most probably chubbi Alexander is a hybrid of soror mashona Alexander X frater Alexander and hungarica Lackschewitz a hy- brid of oleracea Linnaeus X orientalis Lackschewitz. Four new taxa are described: conso- brina (Zimbabwe, Mozambique), italica errans (Sardinia, Balkan Peninsula, Turkey), loeff- leri (Ethiopia) and zimbabwensis (Zimbabwe). As up till now mostly short descriptions without illustrations were published of the Afrotropical species, all are figured and described here. For the well-known Palaearctic spe- cies only the most important literature is mentioned. The relationships between species and species groups, based on synapomorphies, are pre- sented in cladograms. Most probably the loveridgei group of the subgenus Acutipula is the sister group of the subgenus Zipula. A publication dealing with the relationships between the subgenera Acutipula and Tipula is in preparation. The history of the subgenus Tipula is discussed and an areogram is presented. It is not possible to date with certainty the degrees of differentiation of this predominantly mediter- ranean subgenus. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Alle in jüngerer Zeit in der Untergattung Tipula an- geführten Arten wurden überprüft. Fünf Arten ge- hören nicht in dieser Untergattung: dichroa Bezzi | (Acutipula), jonesi Alexander (Leptotarsus), microce- | phala Bigot (Lecteria), rothschildi Alexander (Savt- shenkia) und setosipennis Alexander (Yamatotipula). | Nachfolgende Synonymien wurden festgestellt: abys- | sinica Jaennicke, 1867 = strigata Loew, 1866; bevisia- na Alexander, 1956 soror mashona Alexander, 1920; curtipennis Mannheims, 1961 eumecacera Speiser, 1909; niligena Jaennicke, 1867 = bicolor Loew, 1866; venturi Loi, 1964 = plumbea Fabricius, 1781. T. (T.) chubbi Alexander ist wahrscheinlich ein Hybrid von soror mashona Alexander X frater Alex- ander, und hungarica Lackschewitz ein solcher von oleracea Linnaeus X orientalis Lackschewitz. Neu be- schrieben werden vier Taxa: consobrina (Zimbabwe, Mozambique), italica errans (Sardinien, Balkanhalbin- sel und Türkei), loeffleri (Athiopien) und zimbabwen- sis (Zimbabwe). Eine sichere Bestimmung der afrotropischen Arten war, der ungenügenden Beschreibungen wegen, bis 33 heute unmôglich. Von all diesen Arten wurden neue Beschreibungen und Abbildungen angefertigt, und die gesamte Literatur wurde erwähnt. Von den gut be- kannten palaearktischen Arten ist nur die wichtigste Literatur angeführt. Unter Zugrundelegung von Synapomorphien wer- den verwandtschaftliche Beziehungen erörtert und ın Kladogrammen bildlich dargestellt. Als Schwester- gruppe der Untergattung Tipula kommt nur die love- ridgei-Gruppe der Untergattung Acutipula in Be- tracht. Die damit zusammenhängenden taxonomi- schen und nomenklatorischen Anderungen werden anderswo (De Jong, in Vorbereitung) ausgearbeitet. An Hand eines Areogramms wird die wahrscheinli- che Geschichte der Untergattung dargestellt. Sichere Datierung der im Areogramm verzeichneten Vorgän- ge war für diese hauptsächlich an mediterranes Klıma gebundenen Arten nicht möglich. EINLEITUNG Lackschewitz (1930) brachte acht oleracea Linnaeus-ähnliche Arten zusammen in ei- ner Artengruppe (oleracea-Gruppe). Edwards 34 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 3, 1984 (1931) stellte in seiner Arbeit über die Untergat- tungen der Gattung Tipula diese Arten in die Untergattung Tipula, weil oleracea Typusart ist. Er bemerkte dabei, daß er keine wesentliche Unterschiede fand zwischen diesen Arten und jenen der Untergattung Platytipula. Aufgrund dieser Bermerkung stellte Alexander (1935) die Arten der /uteipennis-ultima-Gruppe (Unter- gattung Platytipula) in die Untergattung Tipula. Mannheims (1952) fürhte überdies die Arten der luna-, vittata-, pruinosa- und moesta- Gruppe in dieser Untergattung ein. Savtshenko (1961) beschränkte sie wieder auf die Arten der oleracea-Gruppe sensu Lackschewitz, 1930. Diese Auffassung wurde von allen späteren Au- toren übernommen. ’ Die Untergattung Tipula (Karte 1) zählt heu- te 26 Taxa ım palaearktischen und afrotropi- schen Gebiet. Im palaearktischen Gebiet ist die Verbreitung der meisten Arten auf die mediter- rane Subregion der Westpalaearktis beschränkt, nur oleracea, paludosa und subcunctans reichen nach dem Norden bis Fennoskandien, letztge- nannte Art auch nach dem Osten bis Japan. Im afrotropischen Gebiet finden sich die Arten in den Gebirgen von Ost- und Südafrika. Der europäische Kulturschädling paludosa wurde vor etwa 100 Jahren durch Fischerboote in Bal- last nach Newfoundland gebracht und hat sich von dort auf dem Festland weiter verbreitet (Alexander, 1962; Jackson & Campbell, 1975). Auf ähnliche Weise wurde die Art wahrschein- lich auch dann und wann nach den makaronesi- schen Inseln gebracht, wo sie — im Gegensatz zur dort heimischen mediterranea — nur in ein- zelnen Exemplaren gesammelt wurde: Madeira, 1855, 1 8, lO: Gran Canarias 1903 tine IE Tenerife, 1918, 1 d (Theowald, 1972, 1977b). Diese Arbeit stützt sich hauptsächlich auf die reichhaltigen Sammlungen des Zoologischen Museums Amsterdam, in denen fast alle Arten dieser Untergattung, manche von vielen Fund- orten, vertreten sind. Für die Verbreitung der palaearktischen Arten stand uns durch Mithilfe von Herrn Dr. H. Ulrich auch die Sammlung des Museums Koenig (Bonn) zur Verfügung. Karte 1. Verbreitung der Untergattung Tipula (Tipula) Linnaeus. THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 35 Herr Dr. A. Hutson sandte uns interessante Ar- ten aus der afrotropischen Sammlung des Briti- schen Museums. Herr Kollege Dr. P. Ooster- broek brachte aus Washington (United States National Museum) Material der Sammlung Alexander mit. Alle erhaltenen Typen der afro- tropischen Arten wurden überprüft. Sie finden sich in einer Reihe von Museen und Instituten und wurden uns jeweils ohne Schwierigkeiten zugeschickt. Allen Kollegen, die uns so freund- lich unterstützten, danken wir herzlich für ihre Mithilfe. Obwohl das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit das Stu- dium der Phylogenie und der Biogeographie von Tipula (Tipula) war, stellte es sich schon bald heraus, daß man sich nicht verlassen konnte auf Beschreibungen und Abbildungen der Arten. So wurde auch eine taxonomische Revision dieser Untergattung notwendig. Für kritische Bemerkungen zu dieser Arbeit danke ich allen Studenten, die an unserem In- stitut an Tipuliden arbeiten, besonders den Kol- legen Dr. P. Oosterbroek und Frau I. Tangel- der. Herr G. Theischinger war so freundlich, das MS kritisch zu lesen und sprachlich zu kor- rigieren. Auch ihm sei herzlich gedankt. ZUR TAXONOMIE Alphabetisches Verzeichnis der Arten der Untergattung Tipula In diesem Verzeichnis sind nur die Arten auf- genommen, die in der rezenten Literatur in der Untergattung Tipula angeführt sind, nicht sol- che, die man ehemals in diese Untergattung stellte, heute aber in eine der weiteren Untergat- tungen stellt. Die palaearktischen Arten sind eindeutig beschrieben und abgebildet, haupt- sachlich in Lackschewitz (1930), Mannheims (1952) und Savtshenko (1961). Fur sie ist nur die wichtigste Literatur erwahnt. Die afrotropi- schen Arten dagegen sind nie zusammenfassend bearbeitet worden, ihre Beschreibungen sind fast immer unvollstandig, und wichtige Merk- male des Hypopygs wurden nur selten deutlich abgebildet. Deshalb sind von allen afrotropi- schen Arten Beschreibung und Abbildung des Hypopygs aufgenommen und ist die Literatur vollständig verzeichnet. Weil der Kopf oftmals mehr oder weniger unter dem Thorax gekrümmt ist, ist als Länge immer nur die Län- ge von Thorax und Hinterleib angegeben.

Alle Merkmale stim- men uberein mit Jaennickes Beschreibung von abyssinica und mit Loews Beschreibung von strigata. Beide Beschreibungen stimmen auch weitgehend mit einander uberein.

(chubbi Alexander, 1956b (Abb. 6g)) = mashona X frater? Literatur: Alexander, 1964. Typus-Lokalitat: Lesotho, Basutoland, Mok- hotlong. Holotypus d: Im Museum and Art Gallery, Durban. Bemerkung: Vom Holotypus existieren zwei Präparate auf Glas: eines mit Hypopyg (ohne linken id) im Museum Durban und eines mit linkem zd, einem Flügel, einem Fühler und den Tarsen eines Beines im United States National Museum, Washington (Sammlung Alexander). Weitere Teile des Holotypus sind nicht vorhan- den. Nach den mir vorliegenden Teilen und nach der Beschreibung Alexanders gibt es nur zwei Unterschiede gegenuber frater: der Kamm des zd-Vorderteils ist am Ende deutlich stärker abgerundet (Abb. 6g), und die Fuhler sind nor- mal lang und nicht verkirzt. Der auffallend kurze Kamm von frater (nur auf dem distalen Ende des id-Vorderteils) ist nicht immer gleich lang und z.B. bei unseren Exemplaren von Zim- babwe (Abb. 6h) deutlich langer als bei denen von Südafrika. Aufgrund dieses Unterschiedes in der Größe des Kammes sollte man chubbi nicht als eigene Art betrachten. Sie stellt höchstens eine Varietat von frater dar. Es bleibt aber der Unterscheid der Fühler, die deutlich länger sind als bei frater. Die Fühler sind über- dies 14-gliedrig, wie dies nur von soror mashona (Südafrika) und paludosa (Europa) bekannt ist, und nicht 13-gliedrig wie jene von frater und al- len weiteren Arten dieser Untergattung. 7. fra- ter und soror mashona wurden beide in der un- mittelbaren Umgebung der Typus-Lokalität von chubbi gesammelt. Es ist deshalb war- scheinlich, daß chubbi keine gute Art ist, son- dern ein Hybrid von soror mashona X frater. Es gibt ja auch Hybriden zwischen den europäi- schen Arten oleracea, paludosa und subcunctans (Den Hollander, 1975b, 1975c und dort erwähnte Literatur). soror consobrina nov. spec.

Biologie: Diese Art wurde im März und April auf Wiesen an der Südseite des Kilimandjaro in 2800—3500 m Höhe gesammelt. In 3500 m Höhe sind die Männchen kurzflügelig. Sie sind dort etwas dunkler und schön grau bereift, ha- ben den Thorax unterentwickelt, wie die kurz- flügeligen d von eumecacera. Nach allen weite- ren Merkmalen sind sie aber mit den normal- geflügelten d identisch.

Bemerkung: Die kurzflügeligen Männchen mit unterentwickeltem Thorax, aber mit nor- mallangen statt verkürzten Beinen, sehen aus wie die kurzflügeligen Männchen, die von eu- mecacera und flagellicurta bekannt wurden. Diese beide Arten sind in niedriger gelegenen Fundorten normalflügelig.

Es gibt ja auch Hybriden zwischen den mitteleuropäischen Arten oleracea, paludosa und subcunctans (Den Hollander, 1975b, 1975c und die dort erwähnte Literatur). italica Lackschewitz, 1930 Literatur: Mannheims, 1952; Simova, 1977 (Fig. 68b unter orientalis); Vály, 1982 (unter mediterranea). Typus-Lokalitat: 7. italica wurde beschrie- ben nach Exemplaren von Illyria, Ronchi bei Görz und von Italien, Forli, Pineta di Ravenna. Typen: Im Museum Wien. Bis heute ist kein Lektotypus designiert worden. Bemerkung: Nach Lackschewitz (1930) ist der Haken des id am Ende kolbenförmig an- geschwollen und hat der zd-Hinterteil am hinte- ren Rande einen kräftigen braunen Zahn. Nach Mannheims (1950, 1952) ist der Haken nicht immer kolbenförmig angeschwollen. Nach dem Material unserer Sammlung kommt die typische italica mit keulenförmig verdicktem Ende des Hakens und mit kräftigem Zahn auf dem :d- Hinterteil nur auf dem italienischen Festland vor. Bei Exemplaren von der Balkanhalbinsel ist der Haken schlank, ohne keulenförmige Ver- dickung und mit am Ende einer ganz feinen Spitze, und der Zahn des id-Hinterteils ist meist weniger deutlich. Auf Sardinien sieht die Art aus wie auf der Balkanhalbinsel. Auf Korsika variiert sie: der Zahn ist meist wohl deutlich, aber der Haken ist manchmal schlank, manch- mal ein wenig verdickt, aber niemals zo stark verdickt wie bei Material vom Festland (ich sah aber nur vier d). Vielleicht gibt es auf Korsika eine Mischpopulation. Der id der Balkanform wurde von Simova (1977) als der einer Varietat von orientalis (Fig. 68b) und von Vály (1982) unter mediterranea abgebildet. Die typische Form hat Lackschewitz (1930) eindeutig be- schrieben. Im Gegensatz zu allen weiteren Ar- ten dieser Untergattung haben die beiden For- men von italica die kegelförmigen Auswüchse auf den sensorischen Poren (sensilla basiconica) dunkelgefärbt statt glashell. Die beiden Formen sind geographisch iso- liert, obwohl im Norden von Jugoslawien (und auf Korsika?) eine Hybridisationszone zu er- warten wäre. Sie sind deshalb als Unterarten aufzufassen. Die typische Unterart mit kol- benförmigem angeschwollenem Haken und kräftigem Zahn am id-Hinterteil wurde von Lackschewitz (1930) aus Italien beschrieben. Die Unterart von der Balkanhalbinsel und von Sardinien nenne ich italica errans nov. subspec., weil sie schon mehrmals zu Irrtümern Anlaß gegeben hat. Sie hat einen schlanken Haken und einen weniger kräftigen Zahn am zd-Hinterteil. Holotypus d: Ellas, Lésvos, 10 km Z.O. v. Kalloni, bedding v.d. Krionéri, 10.X1.1973, A. C. & W. N. Ellis leg.

Unterschiedsmerkmale gegenüber ei- ner noch unbeschriebenen Tipula jonesi von Natal. Die Unterschiede sind deutlich, weshalb es eine Tipula jones: Alexander, 1920, gibt mit Typus-Lokalitat Natal. Diese Art wurde weiter in der Literatur nicht mehr erwahnt. Im Dipte- renkatalog des afrotropischen Gebietes führt Hutson (1980) sie in der Untergattung Tipula. Im Jahre 1921 beschrieb Alexander Habromas- tix jonesi nov. spec. von Südafrika, M’fongosı, Zululand. Dieser Fundort liegt in Natal. Wenn wir die Beschreibung von 1921 vergleichen mit den Bemerkungen von 1920 wird klar, daf die erst als Tipula jonesi verzeichnete Art im Jahre 1921 als Habromastix jonesi (jetzt Leptotarsus (Longurio) jonesi) beschrieben worden ist, lei- der ohne Hinweis auf die Veröffentlichung von 1920. Im afrotropischen Katalog erscheint sie jetzt unter Leptotarsus und unter Tipula auf. Sie ist unter Tipula zu streichen. kleinschmidti Mannheims, 1950 Literatur: Mannheims, 1952.

(mashona Alexander, 1920d) = soror subsp. mashona Alexander (stat. nov.) Literatur: Alexander, 1964. Typus-Lokalität: Salisbury, (Zimbabwe). Holotypus d: Im Briush Museum (Natural History). Bemerkung: Vom Typus-Exemplar sind nur noch erhalten: Thorax, Abdomen mit Hypo- pyg, ein Flügel, Femur, Tibia und erstes Tar- senglied eines Beines. Aufgrund dieser Reste ist mashona entweder identisch mit soror (Kap- stadt und Umgebung: 13 Fühlerglieder) oder mit bevisiana (Gebiet der Drakensberge: 14 Mashonaland | THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 49 Fühlerglieder). Aus der Sammlung Alexander sah ich aber noch zwei weitere Exemplare von der Typus-Lokalitat (1 d und 1 ©). Beide haben 14 Fühlerglieder wie bevisiana. Deshalb stelle ich bevisiana Alexander, 1956, als jüngeres Sy- nonym zu mashona Alexander, 1920. T. masho- na und soror gleichen einander weitgehendst, der einzige deutliche und konstante Unter- schied besteht in der Anzahl der Fühlerglieder. Deshalb führe ich mashona als Unterart von so- ror. Verbreitung: Das Gebiet der Drakensberge (Osten der Cape Province, Natal, Transvaal, Lesotho) und Zimbabwe (nur Salisbury). Biologie: Diese Species wurden von Januar bis April und von September bis November in 1000—2600 m Seehöhe gesammelt. mediterranea Lackschewitz, 1930 Literatur: Mannheims, 1952; Väly, 1982 (= italica). Typus-Lokalität: Die Art wurde beschrieben nach Exemplaren von Osterreich, Sizilien und Tenerife (Kanarische Inseln). Typen: Im Museum Wien. Bis heute ist kein Lektotypus designiert worden. Bemerkung: Diese Art wurde von Lacksche- witz (1930) und Mannheims (1952) deutlich be- schrieben und abgebildet. Sie hat ihre Haupt- verbreitung im westmediterranen Gebiet. Irrtümlicherweise ist sie in Savtshenko (1961) (Fig. 276) unter paludosa statt unter mediterra- nea abgebildet. (microcephala Bigot, 1858 (Lecteria)) (comb. nov.) Literatur: Hutson, 1980. Bemerkung: Diese Art wurde beschrieben nach einem 2 von Gabon. Die Fühler des Ty- pus-Exemplares waren abgebrochen. Bigot war sich nicht sicher, ob sie in die Gattung Tipula gehörte. Hutson (1980) führt sie im afrotropi- schen Katalog in dieser Untergattung. Die Un- tergattung Tipula ist nur bekannt von Ost- und Südafrika und nicht von Gabon in Westafrika. Die Beschreibung paßt auch nicht für eine Tipu- la, wohl aber für die vom dortigen Gebiet be- kannte Limoniide Lecteria africana nigrilinea Alexander. Wahrscheinlich hat Bigot diese oder eine dieser nächstverwandte Art vorgelegen. Ich konnte das Typus-Exemplar nicht auffinden. Je- denfalls ist microcephala im afrotropischen Ka- talog unter Tipula zu streichen. (niligena Jaennicke, 1867) = bicolor Loew, 1866 (syn. nov.)

Bemerkung: Das Typus-Exemplar ist in Al- kohol konserviert und ziemlich stark be- schädigt. Es fehlen die Geißeln, eine der Palpen, die Knöpfe der Schwinger und der linke Flügel- stummel. Von den Beinen sind nur Femur und Tibia eines Mittelbeines vorhanden. In der Sammlung Alexander findet sich noch ein Präparat auf Glas mit dem rechten Flügelstum- mel und einem Hinterbein. Zu den von Alexan- der erwahnten füge ich noch nachfolgende wichtige Merkmale hinzu: Kopf oben und hin- ten hellgrau, oben mit feinem schwarzem Mit- telstrich; Rostrum kurz, ohne Nasus; Augen unter dem Kopf zweimal so breit getrennt wie die Breite des ersten Fuhlergliedes; das vierte Palpenglied ist zweimal so lang wie das dritte. Hinterleib mit deutlichen Mittel- und Seiten- streifen; Ovipositor mit sehr schlanken Cerci. Lange von Thorax und Hinterleib etwa 10 mm. Mesonotum (nach Trocknen) mit drie hellbrau- nen Langsstreifen auf hellgrauem Untergrund, der mittlere breit aber undeutlich (vielleicht sind es zwei nah aneinander liegende Streifen); diese Langsstreifen sind nicht dunkelgerandet; Tibia des Mittelbeines mit zwei Dornen. Nach der Gesamtheit der Merkmale ist dieses kleine kurzflügelige Weibchen eine Tipulide und keine Limoniide. Von den afrotropischen Gattungen kommt nur die Gattung Tıpula in Betracht. Es gehört aber sicher nicht in die Un- d Abb. 11. Hypopyg von Tipula (Yamatotipula) setosipennis (a—e wie Abb. 1). THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 51 tergattung Tipula, sondern in die Untergattung Savtshenkia. Bis heute sind vom afrotropischen Gebiet keine Savtshenkia-Arten genannt wor- den. Die Beschreibungen und Abbildungen der vom afrotropischen Gebiet erwähnten Ptere- lachsis-Arten deuten aber darauf hin, daf sie alle in die neulich aufgestellte Untergattung Savt- shenkia gehören. Letztgenannte Untergattung (und nicht Pterelachisus) kommt damit im gan- zen ost- und südafrikanischen Gebiet vor. Sie war bis jetzt von Athiopien unbekannt, dürfte dort aber sicher auch in mehreren Arten vor- kommen. (setosipennis Alexander, 1920c (Yamatotipula) (comb. nov.))

Sternit breit U-förmig eingeschnitten (statt schmal oder nicht); Adminiculum mit langen, dünnen Gona- pophysen (statt mit kurzen, dicken). Aufgrund dieser vielen wichtigen Unterschiede gegenüber allen Arten der Untergattung Tipula ist es unmöglich, setosipennis in diese Untergattung aufzunehmen. Sie gehört aufgrund ihrer Merk- male in die Untergattung Yamatotipula, in der sie aber verwandtschaftlich isoliert steht. soror Wiedemann, 1820 (Abb. 12) Literatur: Wiedemann, 1820, 1828; Bergroth, 1888; Lackschewitz, 1930; Alexander, 1917, 1956a, 1956b, 1964; Wood, 1952; Den Hollan- der, 1975a.

Bemerkung: Aufgrund von Beschreibungen und von Material, das Alexander bestimmt hat, konnte ich feststellen, daß Alexander seit etwa 1950 soror und mashona mit frater verwechselt hat. Beide erstgenannten Arten führt er seit da- mals als bevisiana, letztgenannte als soror. Die Fundorte, die er in seiner Südafrika Arbeit (1964) unter bevisiana anführt, gehören zum Teil zu soror, zum Teil zu mashona, die unter soror zum Teil zu soror, zum Teil zu mashona und zum Teil zu frater, die unter frater zum Teil zu frater und zum Teil zu consobrina. Auf- grund dieser Verwirrung kommt Den Hollan- der (1975a) nach Literaturstudien zu der Mei- nung, soror und frater seien identisch.

Lange von Thorax und Hinterleib: 4 12—16 mm, ® 14—22 mm; Flügellänge: d 19—21 mm, 2 19-20 mm. Verbreitung: Nur die weitere Umgebung von Kapstadt; von diesem Gebiet ist bis heute nur eine Art der Untergattung Tıpula bekannt ge- worden, weshalb ich das Typus-? nicht überprüft habe. Biologie: Die von Wood (1952) und mir gese- henen Exemplare wurden von August bis No- vember und im Januar und März gesammelt. Die Art fliegt dort von Meereshöhe bis zu etwa 1500 m. Unterarten: Fast identisch mit soror ist mash- ona (Gebiet der Drakensberge und Zimbabwe). Ich fand nur einen konstanten Unterschied: so- ror hat 13 Fühlerglieder, mashona dagegen 14. Deshalb führe ich mashona Alexander als Unterart von soror Wiedemann (siehe unter mashona). speiseriana Alexander, 1930 (Abb. 13) Literatur: Alexander, 1956a; Den Hollander, 1975a; Theowald, 19772.

Deshalb stelle ich abyssinica Jaennicke, 1867 als jüngeres Syno- nym zu strigata Loew, 1866 und nehme die von Alexander als abyssinica angeführten Exempla- ren als Basis der folgenden Beschreibung. 54 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 3, 1984 Abb. 14.

Hinterleib an der Basis gelb, ab Hinterrand des 3. Segmentes schwarz, die gelbe Basıs mit schmaler schwarzer Rückenstrieme und Teilen von Seitenstriemen, das 2. Sternit an der Basıs mit einem runden schwarzen Fleck. Hypopyg gelbbraun; Vorsprung des 9. Tergits mit schma- ler Basis; id-Vorderteil mit durchsichtigem Kamm, außen am Unterrand mit einem Kissen kurzer weißer Haare, Innenseite mit einem Saum langer Haare; id-Hinterteil oben kap- penförmig mit bedorntem Vorsprung, an der Außenseite mit einem ziemlich großen dornför- migen Vorsprung, an der Innenseite mit einer scharf abgegrenzten Gruppe sensorischer Po- ren; od birnförmig. Länge von Thorax und Hinterleib 13—15 mm; Flügellänge 16—18 mm. Weibchen: Alexander (1978) kennt “a small number of both sexes” from Addis Abeba, ge- sammelt von Richter und Schäuffele. Die Weib- chen dieser Serie sind aber nicht mehr aufzufin- den. Er kennt auch ein Weibchen, gesammelt von Rothschild in Addis Abeba im Mai 1904. Von diesem Exemplar ist in der Sammlung THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 55 Alexander (Washington) nur ein Präparat mit einem Flügel und Teilen von zwei Beinen. Für rothschildi, die nach Alexander (1978) vielleicht mit abyssinica (= strigata) identisch ist, siehe unter rothschildi. Verbreitung: Athiopien (Simen, Addis Abe- ba) und Nubien. Biologie: Die Exemplare von Addis Abeba, Ausbeute Richter und Schäuffele, wurden im Dezember in 3020 m Seehöhe gesammelt, das von Rothschild gesammelte Weibchen stammt vom Mai und unbekannter Höhe. Bemerkung: Riedel (1914) verzeichnet striga- ta vom Kilimandjaro und von Britisch-Ost- Afrika. Die Exemplare sind zum Teil 1m Mu- seum Paris und wurden von mir überprüft. Die Exemplare vom Kilimandjaro sind zum Teil fla- gellicurta, zum Teil lourensi, die von Britisch- Ost-Afrika konnte man im Museum Paris nicht mehr finden. Sie gehören wahrscheinlich zur dort häufig vorkommenden Art speiseriana. subaptera Freeman, 1950 (Abb. 15) Alexander, Literatur: 19772. 19562; Theowald, Typus-Lokalität: Tanganyika, Kilimandjaro.

Verbreitung: Tanzania, nur Kilimandjaro. Biologie: Diese Art wurde im Oktober an der Westseite des Kilimandjaro (Shira) in 4000— 4750 m Seehöhe gesammelt. Bemerkung: 7. subaptera ist in vielen Merk- malen flagellicurta ähnlich. Im Gegensatz zu den kurzflügeligen Männchen der letztgenann- ten Art haben jene von subaptera verkürzte und verdickte Beine. Die Weibchen von flagellicurta haben im Gegensatz zu denen von subaptera spinnenartig behaarte Beine. Beide Arten sind einander deutlich nächstverwandt. subcunctans Alexander, 1921b Literatur: Lackschewitz, 1930 (unter czize- ki); Mannheims, 1952 (unter fusca). Typus-Lokalität: Sapporo (Japan).

(submendosa Tjeder, 1941) = oleracea Lin- naeus, 1758 Bemerkung: Nach Tjeder, 1941, 1953, soll oleracea Linnaeus identisch mit paludosa Mei- gen sein. Er benannte oleracea sensu aut., nec Linnaeus, submendosa. Nach Uberprüfung des Exemplares von oleracea in der Sammlung Lin- naeus (Hutson, Vane-Wright & Cranston, 1976) wurde klar, daf oleracea Linnaeus iden- tisch ist mit subeunctans Alexander. In 1.C.Z.N. Opinion 1160 (1980) wurde der Name oleracea Linnaeus festgelegt fur oleracea sens. aut. Damit wurde submendosa ein jüngeres Synonym von oleracea.

Bemerkung zu den südafrikanischen Arten In dem alphabetischen Verzeichnis kam mehrmals zur Sprache, daf Alexander in seinen Arbeiten die südafrikanischen Arten verwech- selt hat. Er bearbeitete sie um 1920 und nach etwa 1950. In seiner Sammlung finden sich nur Belegstiicke aus der zweiten Periode. Das Mate- rial der ersten Periode ging fast ausnahmslos an die verleihenden Museen zurück. Alexander hat wohl das spatere Material an Hand von Be- schreibungen und ungenügend detaillierten Ab- bildungen bearbeitet und sich deshalb in der In- terpretation der Arten geirrt. Den Hollander (1975a) hat nur Alexanders Beschreibungen be- nutzt und keine Typen studiert. Offenbar kam ihm die Sache nicht ganz geheuer vor. Tabelle 1 gibt einen Überblick über die Interpretation der nunmehr bekannten südafrikanischen Arten durch Alexander (um 1920 und nach 1950) und Den Hollander (1975a). Dieser Überblick wur- de zusammengestellt nach Überprüfung des von ihnen bestimmten Materials. Aufgrund dieses Überblicks sind Beschreibungen, Tabellen und Fundorte in den Arbeiten der genannten Auto- ren wohl besser zu deuten. Bestimmung Sichere Bestimmung der Männchen ist meis- tens nur möglich anhand des Baues des zd. Von trockenen Exemplaren läßt sich mit Hilfe einer Nadel leicht ein od entfernen. Der id ist dann sichtbar. Bestimmung der Weibchen ist schwie- riger und das Ergebnis oft unsicher, vor allem Abb. 16. Hypopyg von Tipula (T.) zimbabwensis (a—e wie Abb. 1). 58 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 3, 1984 weil von etwa einem Drittel der Arten die Weibchen noch unbekannt sind. Nach ihrer Verbreitung sind die Arten in vier Gruppen auf- zuteilen: a. palaearktische Arten Sie sind leicht zu bestimmen anhand der Ab- bildungen von Lackschewitz (1930) oder mit Tabellen und Abbildungen von Mannheims (1952). Für atlantica, italica errans und plumbea siehe unter den alphabethischen Verzeichnis (Seiten 33, 43, 48). Die zugehörigen Arten sind: atlantica Mannheims, 1962 — nur Madeira italica italica Lackschewitz, 1930 — nur Italien italica errans nov. subspec. — Balkanhalbinsel, © Sardinien (und Korsika?) kleinschmidti Mannheims, 1950 — iberische Halbinsel mediterranea Lackschewitz, 1930 — ganzes westmediterranes Gebiet oleracea Linnaeus, 1758 — ganzes mediterranes Gebiet und West- und Mitteleuropa orientalis Lackschewitz, 1930 — ostmediterra- nes Gebiet bis Afghanistan im Osten und Agyp- ten und Sudan im Süden paludosa Meigen, 1830 — West- und Mittel- europa plumbea Fabricius, 1781 — Italien und Süd- frankreich subcunctans Alexander, 1921 — Westeuropa bis Japan b. äthiopische Arten Diese Arten sind leicht zu bestimmen anhand nunmehr bekannt Alexander, um als 1920, unter consobrina frater frater soror mashona soror und mashona soror soror soror zimbabwensis Alexander, nach 1950, unter bevistana bevistana der Abbildungen in dieser Arbeit.

Arten aus den Gebieten um den Viktoria-See Die zugehörigen Arten sind: capnioneura Speiser, 1909 — nur Kilimandjaro (Abb. 2) eumecacera Speiser, 1909 — nur Kilimandjaro (Abb. 4) flagellicurta Mannheims, 1958 — nur Kilimand- jaro (Abb. 5) lobeliae Alexander, 1956 — nur Mount Elgon (Abb. 8) lourensi Den Hollander, 1975 — nur Kilimand- jaro (Abb. 10) speiseriana Alexander, 1930 — ganzes Gebiet um den Victoria-See (Abb. 13) subaptera Freeman, 1950 — nur Kilimandjaro (Abb. 15) Für die fünf Arten des Kilimandjaro, die ein- ander im Bau des Hypopygs sehr ähnlich sind, gebe ich nachfolgend einen Bestimmungsschlüs- sel.

ZUR PHYLOGENIE Monophylie der Untergattung Tipula Die zur Untergattung Tipula gehörenden Ar- ten haben viele Merkmale gemeinsam und wur- den deshalb von Lackschewitz (1930) zusam- men in eine und dieselbe Artengruppe gestellt (oleracea-Gruppe), die seit Edwards (1931) als Untergattung geführt wird. Gemeinsame Merk- male sind: Rostrum etwas länger als Kopf; Na- sus etwa ein Drittel der Länge des Rostrums; Mesonotum mit vier dunkelgerandeten Längs- 60 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 3, 1984 streifen, bei Hochgebirgsarten aber meist durch hellgraue Bestäubung verdeckt; Costalzelle meist dunkler als Rest der Flügel; rs fast zwei- mal so lang wie m-cu; m-cu an der Spaltung von m, und m, oder kurz davor (proximal); m-Aste kurz behaart; Squamae mit zwei bis vier kurzen Borsten; Tibien der Mittelbeine mit zwei deutli- chen Dornen; 9. Tergit und 9. Sternit ringför- mig verwachsen; an den oberen Ecken der Ba- sistyli ein Büschel langer Haare; Hinterrand des 8. Sternits unbehaart und ohne Differenzierun- gen; Hinterrand des 9. Tergits in der Mitte mit einem distal eingeschnittenen und mit kleinen Dornen besetzten Vorsprung; od grof und id vollständig verdeckend; id aus vier Teilen (Abb. 1, 17) zusammengesetzt: Vorderteil hackmes- serförmig, Seitenteil rinnenförmig, Hinterteil an der Außenseite des Vorderteils und am distalen Ende artcharakteristisch differenziert, Haken fingerformig mit deutlicher unbehaarter Spitze, sensorische Poren (sensilla basiconica) auf der Innenseite des Hinterteils; Gonapophysen spa- telförmig und etwa so lang wie die Penishülle; Ovipositor mit ziemlich langen, schmalen, stumpf endenden Cerci. Durch diese Kombination von etwa 20, zum Teil plesiomorphen, zum Teil apomorphen Merkmalen ist die Untergattung Tipula gegen- über allen weiteren Untergattungen und Arten- gruppen deutlich abgegrenzt. Unter diesen Merkmalen sind drei auffallende Apomorphien, die sich sonst nirgendwo finden: der fingerför- mige Haken der id endet spitz und unbehaart, statt stumpf und behaart; die sensorischen Po- ren liegen an der Innenseite des id-Hinterteils statt an der Basis; die od sind stark vergrößert statt klein und verdecken die id vollständig. Aufgrund dieser drei Synapomorphien müssen die Arten der Untergattung Tipula als eine mo- nophyletische Gruppe betrachtet werden. Die Schwestergruppe der Untergattung Tipula Nach den Merkmalen von Larven, Puppen und Imagines sind die Untergattungen Acutipu- la, Tipula und Yamatotipula einander nächst- verwandt. Savtshenko (1966, 1979) ist der Mei- nung, daß Tipula von Acutipula abgezweigt hat, nach Alexander (1935, 1965) steht sie vielleicht Yamatotipula näher. Tipula und Yamatotipula zeigen keine Syna- pomorphien, mit denen ein Schwestergruppen- verhältnis eindeutig belegt werden kann. Die Arten beider Untergattungen sehen einander ziemlich ähnlich. Die Merkmale, die sie gemein- sam haben, sind aber zum Teil Plesiomorphien, zum Teil Apomorphien, die auch in weiteren Untergattungen der Gattung Tipula vorkom- men. Die Arten beider Untergattungen haben z.B. den Hinterrand des 8. Sternits undifferen- ziert, eine Plesiomorphie, die sich, wie zu er- warten, auch findet in Artengruppen weiterer Untergattungen. Ein bedornter, am distalen En- de eingeschnittener Vorsprung am Hinterrand des 9. Tergits und dunkelgerandete Längsstrei- fen auf dem Mesonotum sind Apomorphien. Auch sie kommen bei Artengruppen weiterer Untergattungen vor. Unter den ziemlich vielen Merkmalen, die Tipula und Yamatotipula ge- meinsam haben, fand ich keine einzige Apo- morphie, die nur in diesen beiden Untergattun- gen vorkommt. Für die Vermutung Alexanders, daß diese beiden Untergattungen Schwester- gruppen sind, fand ich damit keine Evidenz. Aber auch die Auffassung Savtshenkos, daß Tipula und Acutipula Schwestergruppen sind, läßt sich nicht begründen. Acutipula zählt etwa 150 Arten, die zu mehr als 15 Artengruppen gehören. Es ist zweifelhaft, ob es Apomorphien gibt, mit denen die Monophylie von Acutipula eindeutig belegt werden kann, geschweige denn Apomorphien, mit denen das Schwestergrup- penverhältnis mit Tipula zu belegen ist. Die Untergattung Acutipula wurde von Alex- ander (1956a) und Savtshenko (1961) in eine Reihe von Artengruppen unterteilt, die meist charakterisiert sind durch einen ein- oder zweispitzigen, bedornten oder unbedornten Vorsprung am Hinterrand des 9. Tergits und besonders durch den Bau des zd. Bei vielen Ar- tengruppen sind die zd ziemlich einfach gebaut und zeigen nur einen mehr oder weniger kom- plizierten Vorder- und Hinterteil, bei einigen sind sie deutlich aus vier Tielen zusammenge- setzt, und es kommen auch noch ein Seitenteil und ein Haken dazu. Derartig zusammenge- setzte zd finden sich bei den Arten der euro- päischen maxima- und fulvipennis-Gruppe und bei den afrıkanischen Arten der loveridgei- Gruppe (Theowald, 1983). Beide erstgenannten Gruppen sind einander nächstverwandt (Ver- moolen, in Vorbereitung). Die loveridgei-Grup- pe dagegen, und wahrscheinlich die ganze zam- besiensis-Gruppe sensu Alexander, 1956a (De Jong, in Vorbereitung), steht der Untergattung Tipula am nächsten. Die id der Arten der loveridgei-Gruppe (schulteni, Abb. 17) und jene der Arten der Un- tergattung Tipula (vergl. z.B. mit bicolor (Abb. 1), soror (Abb. 12) und zimbabwensis (Abb. 16)) sind einander sehr änhlich und zeigen eini- THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 61 ge auffallende Synapomorphien gegenüber den Arten der maxima- und fulvipennis-Gruppe. Der id-Hinterteil ist bei allen Arten der erstge- nannten Gruppe verwachsen mit den drei ande- ren id-Teilen, er ist keulenförmig und am dista- len Ende artcharakteristisch differenziert. Bei den Arten der maxima- und fulvipennis-Gruppe dagegen (Vermoolen, 1983) ist er nicht mit den anderen Teilen verwachsen, mehr oder weniger dornförmig und verzweigt. Der Haken ist beı den Arten der loveridgei-Gruppe und jenen der Untergattung Tipula fingerförmig und ver- wachsen mit dem :d-Hinterteil und dem id-Sei- tenteil, bei den Arten der maxima- und der ful- vipennis-Gruppe dagegen ist er niemals mit dem id-Hinterteil und dem id-Seitenteil verwachsen, sondern breitbasig und fast dreieckig. Aufgrund dieser Synapomorphien stehen einerseits die /o- veridgei-Gruppe und die Untergattung Tipula, andererseits die maxima- und die fulvipennis- Gruppe einander am nächsten. Beide Paare von Gruppen haben vierteilige id; die vier Teile des id in der maxima- und fulvipennis-Gruppe sind aber sicher nicht homolog sondern analog zu je- loveridgei- Gruppe nen der loveridgei-Gruppe und der Untergat- tung Tipula. Aufgrund des Schwestergruppenverhältnisses der loveridgei-Gruppe (Untergattung Acutipu- la) und der Untergattung Tipula kommt es zu taxonomischen Änderungen. Sie werden aber erst veröffentlicht werden, wenn ein eingehen- des Studium über die einander wohl nächstver- wandten Untergattungen Acutipula, Platytipu- la, Tipula und Yamatotipula abgeschlossen ist (De Jong, in Vorbereitung). Die loveridgei-Gruppe zeigt gegenüber der Untergattung Tipula eine auffallende Autapo- morphie: die Vorsprünge am Hinterrand des 9. Tergits sind — im Gegensatz zu fast allen mehr oder weniger verwandten Artengruppen — un- bedornt statt bedornt. In Kladogramm 1 ist das Verhältnis zwischen beiden Gruppen bildlich dargestellt. Die Apo- morphien sind: 1. :d-Hinterteil verwachsen mit Vorderteil, Seitenteil und Haken, und distal art- charakteristisch differenziert; 2. id-Haken fin- gerförmig und verwachsen mit Hinter- und Sei- tenteil; 3. id-Haken am Ende zugespitzt; 4. sen- Untergattung Tipula wr Ol Kladogramm 1.

Vorsprün- ge am Hinterrand des 9. Tergits unbedornt. Verwandtschaftliche Beziehungen innerhalb der Untergattung Tipula Grofeinteilung Eine Reihe von Arten läßt sich aufgrund von fast identischem Bau der id leicht zu Gruppen einander nächstverwandter Arten zusammen- fassen, z.B. oleracea — orientalis; kleinschmidti — mediterranea; soror soror — soror mashona; zimbabwensis — bicolor; flagellicurta — subap- tera — lourensi — eumecacera — capnioneura. Eidonomische Merkmale sind in diesen Grup- pen mosaikartig verstreut und zur Abgrenzung derselben unverwendbar. Deshalb werden sie auch nicht benutzt zur Einreihung von schwie- riger aufzustellenden Arten. Merkmale des Ovi- positors konnten nicht benutzt werden, weil von einem Viertel der Arten die Weibchen noch unbekannt sind. Die Phylogenie konnte deshalb nur mit Hilfe der Merkmale des Hypopygs der Männchen belegt werden. Aufgrund einiger deutlicher Apomorphien sind die Arten der Untergattung Tipula in drei Gruppen einzuteilen: die beiden Unterarten von soror, die afrotropischen Arten excl. soror, und die palaearktischen Arten. Im Gegensatz zu al- len weiteren Arten haben die beiden Unterarten von soror den Haken kurz, kaum länger als die Arten der loveridgei-Gruppe. Alle weiteren Ar- ten haben den Haken stark verlängert, eine deutliche Apomorphie. Die afrotropischen Arten haben ihn, wie so- ror, von der Basis bis zum Ende konisch zuge- spitzt, bei den palaearktischen Arten steht auf der Basis ein langer Dorn, eine Apomorphie ge- genüber dem konisch zugespitzten Haken (vgl. Abb. 20a —d). Alle afrotropischen Arten, incl. soror, haben die Innenseite des id-Vorderteils deutlich be- haart wie die Arten der loveridgei-Gruppe, bei den palaearktischen Arten dagegen ist sie unbe- haart, eine Apomorphie. Bei primitiven Tipuli- den ist die Innenseite des id fast immer behaart. Auch im Bau des zd-Hinterteils gibt es Unter- schiede zwischen den afrotropischen und den palaearktischen Arten (Abb. 18 und 19). T. so- ror, bicolor, zimbabwensis und alle palaearkti- schen Arten haben einen id-Hinterteil mit kur- zem Stiel, auf dem ziemlich hoch die sensori- schen Poren sitzen, und mit einem mehr oder weniger keulenförmigen distalen Ende. Die drei erstgenannten Arten haben das distale Ende un- Abb. 18. id-Hinterteil, von der Innenseite, der palaearktischen Arten Tipula (T.); a, subcunctans; b, paludosa; c, atlantica; d, mediterranea; e, kleinschmidti; f, italica; g, plumbea; h, orientalis; i, oleracea.

Bei ihnen stehen sensorische Dornen an der Vorderseite des Stiels. Die palaearktischen Arten dagegen haben das distale Ende differenziert. Bei kleinschmidti und plumbea sitzen sensorische Dornen von der Vorderseite des Stiels bis zum distalen Ende, bei den anderen Arten sitzen sie am differenzierten distalen Ende und an der Vorderseite des Stiels, wo bei kleinschmidti und plumbea sensorische Dornen stehen, sitzen jedoch nur noch einige Haare. Die afrotropischen Arten excl. soror, bi- color und zimbabwensis haben das Ende des id- Hinterteils reduziert (Abb. 19b—d). Der Hin- terteil ist im Vergleich zu den weiteren Teilen des id kürzer (vgl. auch Abb. 1—16). Die senso- rischen Poren liegen bei diesen Arten fast am Ende des id-Hinterteils, bei ihnen ist die Vor- derseite des Stiels mit den sensorischen Dornen stark differenziert. Es zeigen sich damit deutlich zwei Entwicklungslinien: im afrotropischen Gebiet sehen wir eine Reduktion des distalen Endes des zd-Hinterteils und eine starke Diffe- Abb. 20. a—d, id-Haken von Tipula (T.): a, schulteni; b, soror; c, afrotropische Arten excl. soror; d, palaearkti- sche Arten; e—h, Verbindung zwischen id-Hinterteil und id-Haken von Tipula (T.): e, oleracea; f, mediterra- nea; g, atlantica; h, capnioneura. renzierung des sensorischen Feldes an der Vor- derseite des Stiels, im palaearktischen Gebiet dagegen eine auffallende Entwicklung des dista- len Endes des id-Hinterteils und eine Reduktion des sensorischen Feldes an der Vorderseite des Stiels. Plesiomorph ist der Bau des id-Hinter- teils bei soror, bicolor und zimbabwensis. Apo- morph ist einerseits die Reduktion des distalen Endes und die starke Entwicklung der Vorder- seite des Stiels bei den afrotropischen Arten excl. soror, bicolor und zimbabwensis, anderer- seits die Differenzierung des distalen Endes, wie man sie von den palaearktischen Arten kennt. Eine weitere Apomorphie der palaearktischen Arten ist das Vorkommen einer Reihe langer Haare vorne am Oberrand des id-Vorderteils.

Abb. 19b—d mit 19a); 14. sensorische Poren an der Innenseite des :d-Hinterteils sitzen verstreut (bei allen Ar- ten weiterer verwandter Artengruppen sitzen sie nah aneinander auf einem abgegrenzten Feld (vgl.

Abb. 19c—d mit 19b) (diese Apomorphie wird deut- lich, wenn man das Feld mit den sensorischen Borsten auf dem Stiel von soror, bicolor und zimbabwensis betrachtet: dieses Feld ist oben breit und abgerundet; bei Reduktion des dista- len Endes des id-Hinterteils ergibt sich deshalb eine Kappe (Abb. 19b) und nicht eine schna- belförmige Spitze (Abb. 19c—d)); 16. innerhalb der Kappe ist ein halbmondförmiger Auswuchs, auf dem die sensorischen Borsten sitzen (Abb. 19b); (plesiomorph ist der Zustand bei lobeliae (Abb. 19c)); 17. :d-Hinterteil am distalen Ende zangenförmig (Abb. 19d); 18. zwischen Haken und :d-Hinterteil steht ein abgerundeter, stark behaarter Höcker (Abb. 20h) statt eines kaum auffallenden (Abb. 20e—g); 19. ein kleiner, scharfer Dorn an der Außenseite des id-Hinter- teils (Abb. 2, 4, 5, 10, 15); 20. id-Vorderteil ohne Kamm und ohne jegliche Behaarung; 21. der kappenförmige id-Hinterteil ist an der Außenseite dornartig vergrößert (Abb. 7, 14); 22.

Nicht benutzte Merkmale des Hypopygs Einige, manchmal deutlich sichtbare Merk- male des Hypopygs konnten nicht benutzt wer- den. a. — Adminiculum und Gonapophysen. Sie sind von einfachem Bau und ein wenig nach hinten gebogen, wie in vielen Artengruppen von Acutipula. Zwischen den Arten der Untergat- tung Tipula gibt es keine deutlichen Unterschie- de. Bei den Arten der loveridgei-Gruppe sind die Gonapophysen ein wenig kürzer und dün- ner. Dieser Unterschied ist aber gering (siehe [epee ii f | È i Abb. 23. Distales Ende des linken id-Seitenteils, von oben, der palaearktischen Arten von Tipula (T.) (a—1 wie Abb. 18). THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 69 auch De Jong, in Vorbereitung). b. — Vorsprung am Hinterrand des 9. Ter- gits. Bei den afrotropischen Arten mit Synapo- morphien 17—20 (Kladogramm 3) sind sie die Basis meist schmaler. Der Unterschied ist aber manchmal undeutlich, weshalb “breitba- sig” als Apomorphie den Synapomorphien 17— 20 nicht angefügt ist. 7. soror und zimbabwensis haben diesen bedornten Vorsprung geradlinig abgestutzt (Abb. 12, 16). Wie das Merkmal breit- oder schmalbasig zeigt sich auch dieses Merkmal nicht immer gleich deutlich und, zu- mal bei aufgeweichten Exemplaren, sind diese Unterschiede manchmal gar nicht mehr zu er- kennen. c. — Od. Sie sehen meist etwas birnförmig deutlich breitbasig, bei den anderen Arten ist aus, sind aber bei mehreren Arten distal verbrei- tert (Abb. 1, 3, 6, 9, 21). Die Verbreiterung kommt nicht immer auf dieselbe Weise zustan- de. Betrachtet man sie als Synapomorphie, dann Abb. 24. a—c, distales Ende des linken zd-Vorderteils und id-Seitenteils von oben von Tipula (T.): a, medi- terranea; b, oleracea; c, italica; d—e, distales Ende des id-Hinterteils von Tipula (T.): d, mediterranea von der Seite; e, mediterranea Querschnitt; f, oleracea Querschnitt. werden viele der benutzten Synapomorphien zu Konvergenzerscheinungen. Auch in weiteren Untergattungen finden sich manchmal bei nah- verwandten Arten od von sehr verschiedener Form. d. — /d-Seitenteil. Bei den meisten Arten schließt er eng gegen den id-Vorderteil an, ist vorne mehr oder weniger abgestutzt und hat am distalen Ende an der Außenseite einen kleinen Vorsprung (Abb. 22, 23). Bei vielen palaearkti- schen Arten ist das sensorische Feld an der Basis des id-Vorderteils nach hinten verdickt, und, damit zusammenhängend, ist das distale Ende des id-Seitenteils artcharakteristisch differen- ziert (Abb. 24a—c). Die Art und Weise der Dif- ferenzierung konnten bei diesen Arten als Synapomorphien benutzt werden. Bei den afro- tropischen Arten dagegen finden sich nur vier auffallende Differenzierungen (Abb. 22g—}), die sich für das Feststellen von verwandtschaft- lichen Beziehungen unverwendbar erwiesen. e. — Dorn oder Buckel auf dem Stiel des id- Hinterteils. Bei den palaearktischen Arten itali- ca, mediterranea, oleracea, orientalis und palu- dosa findet sich basal an der Vorderseite des Stiels des zd-Hinterteils ein mehr oder weniger buckelförmiger Dorn (Abb. 18). Bei oleracea und orientalis steht er immer an derselben Stelle und hat eine ähnliche Form, bei den anderen Arten aber nicht. Bei paludosa gibt es aus- nahmsweise Exemplare ohne Buckel, bei medi- terranea finden sich oft in einer und derselben Population Exemplare mit und Exemplare ohne Buckel. Das Vorkommen eines Buckels ist sicher apomorph. Für Kladogramm 4 konnte diese Apomorphie aber nicht benutzt werden. f. — Behaarung der Aufenseite des id-Vor- derteils. Eine Reihe afrotropischer Arten (Abb. 1,3, 557, 8, 9; 12, 14,15; 16) hat’eine mehr oder weniger auffallende Behaarung an der Außen- seite des id-Vorderteils. Manchmal sind es nur wenige längere Haare, manchmal sind es kür- zere Haare, die dann vielfach kissenförmig zu- sammenstehen. Ein solches Kissen kann vor- kommen am distalen Ende, in der Mitte oder an der Basis des id-Vorderteils. Die Arten der lo- veridgei-Gruppe haben den id-Vorderteil an der Auftenseite unbehaart, und in der Untergattung Tipula ist eine derartige Behaarung wahrschein- lich eine Apomorphie. Sie wurde für das Fest- stellen von Verwandtschaften in den Klado- grammen 1—3 nicht benutzt, weil der Eindruck besteht, daf eine derartige Behaarung konver- gent bei mehreren Arten auftritt. 1984 italica errans italica italica orientalis kleinschmidti oleracea mediterranea atlantica plumbea @O— paludosa @-@— subcunctans oo Kladogramm 5.

Autapomorphien und weitere Hinweise auf Verwandtschaften In den Kladogrammen 1—4 sind keine Auta- pomorphien verzeichnet. Als Synapomorphien sind nur diejenigen benutzt, die eindeutig bei den entsprechenden Arten vorhanden sind oder nicht, und die nicht konvergent auch noch bei einer oder mehreren weiteren Arten vorkom- men. Nicht benutzt sind einerseits die vielfach mosaikartig verstreut vorkommenden eidono- mischen Merkmale, anderseits Merkmale des Hypopygs, die entweder nicht eindeutig sind, oder die konvergent vorkommen. Aufgrund der benutzten Synapomorphien ist die Einteilung in Artengruppen, wie in den Kladogrammen 1—4 durchgeführt, ziemlich sicher richtig. In Kladogramm 5 sind die Kladogramme 1— 4 zusammengefaßt. Außerdem sind Autapo- morphien zugefügt. Aufgrund von in den Kla- dogrammen 1—4 nicht benutzten Merkmalen sind einige Arten zusammengefaßt und einige Artengruppen weiter aufgeteilt. Die dazu be- nutzten Merkmale sind manchmal schwerwie- gende, manchmal schwächere Apomorphien. Sie sind im Kladogramm 5 nicht mit Ziffern sondern mit Buchstaben bezeichnet und werden nachfolgend besprochen. Die beiden Unterarten von soror, die einander fast ın allen Merkmalen identisch sind, sind zu- sammengestellt (a). Eine Apomorphie für mas- hona sind die 14-gliedrigen Fühler (b), die wir sonst nur bei paludosa finden. Es gibt keine Hinweise, aufgrund derer wir bicolor und zimbabwensis zusammenfassen können. Die auffallende orangegelbe Farbe von bicolor ist wahrscheinlich plesiomorph. Wir fin- den sie auch bei den Arten der loveridgei-Grup- pe. Autapomorphien für zimbabwensis sind: Tarsalklauen ungezahnt (c) und Augen unter dem Kopf breit getrennt (d). Beide Apomor- phien kommen konvergent auch bei einigen an- deren Arten vor und sind dort im Kladogramm THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 71 el Karte 2.

Mit Synapomorphie 16 stehen im Klado- gramm 3 vier Arten ohne Synapomorphien (consobrina, frater, loeffleri und speiseriana) ge- genüber zwei Arten mit zwei Synapomorphien (hollander: und strigata). Von diesen 6 Arten sind consobrina und frater zusammenzustellen, weil sie, den :d-Hinterteil ausgenommen, einan- der sehr ähnlich sind und beide stark verkürtzte Fühler haben, eine Apomorphie, die sonst in der Untergattung Tipula nicht vorkommt (e). 7. consobrina hat nachfolgende Autapomorphie: Kappe des id-Hinterteils und Haken stark ver- größert (f). Von den vier weiteren Arten haben loeffleri, hollanderi und speiseriana die Tarsal- klauen ungezahnt (c), eine Apomorphie, die so verstreut vorkommt, daß man die drei Arten nur auf sie begründet nicht zusammenfassen kann. 7. loeffleri, hollanderi und strigata haben lle die Augen unter dem Kopf breit getrennt (d), eine Apomorphie, die viel weniger verstreut vorkommt. Wir finden sie bei der isoliert ste- henden zimbabwensis, bei allen Arten mit Syna- omorphien 14—15, bei den drei plesiomor- phen Arten atlantica, paludosa und subcunctans und bei den Arten mit Synapomorphie 29. Die breite Trennung der Augen unter dem Kopf präsentiert einen schwachen Hinweis darauf, daß die Arten loeffleri, hollanderi und strigata nahe zusammengehören. 7. hollanderi hat die konvergent vorkommende Autapomorphie: Fühler verlängert (g). Die Gruppe mit Synapomorphien 14—15 hat für ihren Zusammenhang noch zwei, allerdings nicht schwerwiegende, weil konvergent vor- kommende, Apomorphien: alle zugehörigen Arten haben die Augen breit getrennt (d) und alle haben die Tarsalklauen ungezahnt (c). Eine Autapomorphie von lobeliae sind die verlänger- ten Fühler (g), wie sie konvergent bei mehreren weiteren Arten vorkommen. Von den Arten mit Synapomorphien 17—20 haben die beiden ein- ander im Bau des Hypopygs fast identischen Arten flagellicurta und subaptera in der basalen Hälfte des id-Vorderteils an der Außenseite an genau derselben Stelle ein Kissen kurzer, weißer Haare (h), wie wir es bei keiner der weiteren Arten der Untergattung Tipula finden, und das Karte 3.

Sie haben überdies beide die Fühler verlängert (g), was aber konvergent bei mehreren Arten vor- kommt. Die beiden Arten capnioneura und eu- Karte 5. Verbreitung von Tipula (T.) kleinschmidti. mecacera haben als Synapomorphien: Fühler sehr stark verlängert, fast bis zum Ende des Hinterleibs reichend (t) und einen langen Dorn an der Basis des :d-Hinterteils (1). Eine Autapo- morphie für eumecacera ist ihre Größe (j), diese Species ist viel kleiner als alle anderen Arten der Untergattung Tipula. T. lourensi hat den Dorn an der Außenseite des zd-Hinterteils ähnlich wie flagellicurta und subaptera, d.h. kurz und breit- basig (k), statt lang und schmalbasig wie capnio- neura und eumecacera. Nur mit dieser schwa- chen Begründung wurde lourensi zu beiden vor- hergenannten Arten gestellt. Autapomorph hat diese Art das erste abdominale Segment gleich hell wie den Thorax und nicht, wie bei anderen Arten, gleich dunkel wie das übrige Abdomen (D. T. kleinschmidti und mediterranea stehen al- len Arten mit Synapomorphie 23 gegenüber. In eidonomischen Merkmalen sind sie einander nicht sehr ähnlich. Die zd beider Arten sind aber, den Hinterteil ausgenommen, fast iden- tisch (m) und deutlich verschieden von den id aller übrigen palaearktischen Arten. Aufgrund dieser Ahnlichkeit sind beide Arten zusammen- gestellt worden. 7. kleinschmidti hat plesio- morph sensorische Dornen an der ganzen Vor- derseite des id-Hinterteils, mediterranea da- gegen hat sie apomorph nur am distalen Ende, wie die meisten palaearktischen Arten. Die drei Arten atlantica, paludosa und sub- cunctans haben nur eine gemeinsame Apomor- phie, die aber in mehreren Gruppen auftritt: die Augen sind unter dem Kopf breit getrennt (d). Jede der drei Arten hat Autapomorphien. 7. at- lantica hat einen etwa fingerförmigen Fortsatz am distalen Ende des :d-Hinterteils (n) und Karte 6. Verbreitung von Tipula (T.) mediterranea. Treowarp: Die Untergattung Tipula 73 überdies die Tarsalklauen ungezahnt (c). Letzt- genanntes Merkmal kommt in mehreren ande- ren Arten vor. 7. paludosa hat das distale Ende des :d-Hinterteils blasenförmig vergrößert (0) und überdies 14 Fühlerglieder (b). Letztgenann- tes Merkmal kommt sonst nur noch bei soror mashona vor. T. subcunctans hat den Stiel des id-Hinterteils verbreitert (p) und die Fühlerba- salglieder schwarz (g). Beide Merkmale kom- men nur bei dieser Art vor. Von den beiden Unterarten von italica ist die typische stärker apomorph; sie hat den id- Haken am distalen Ende kolbenförmig ge- schwollen (r). T. oleracea ist in höherem Grade apomorph als orientalis: sie hat den id-Vorderteil ha- kenförmig verschmälert und ohne Haarsaum (s). Kladogramm 5 gibt die Zusammenhänge zwi- schen Arten und Artengruppen der Untergat- tung Tipula wider, begründet auf meist nicht konvergent vorkommende stärkere und schwächere Synapomorphien. Die in diesem Kladogramm entholtenen, konvergent vorkom- menden Apomorphien kommen alle auch in weiteren Untergattungen und Artengruppen Karte 7. Verbreitung von Tipula (T.) plumbea. der Tipuliden konvergent vor. Die verwandt- schaftlichen Verhältnisse zwischen den Arten und Artengruppen der Untergattung Tipula, wie in Kladogramm 5 dargestellt, sind somit wohl ziemlich gut fundiert. Zur BIOGEOGRAPHIE Die Arten der Untergattung Tipula finden sich über die gesamte palaearktische und afro- tropische Region (Karte 1). Von den palaearkti- Karte 8. Verbreitung von Tipula (T.) italica italica. schen Arten ist eine (subcunctans) über das gan- ze Gebiet verbreitet, kommen zwei (paludosa und oleracea) im mediterranen Gebiet und überdies im übrigen Europa vor, und sind die meisten rein mediterran. Die afrotropischen Ar- ten sind in ihrer Verbreitung auf die montanen Gebiete Ostafrikas beschränkt, einige von ihnen haben dort sogar alpine Verbreitung. Das Hauptverbreitungsgebied läßt sich, wie folgt, aufteilen: 1. Süden Afrikas: die Gebirge von Kapstadt nach dem Norden bis zum Zambesi; 2. Zentralafrika: die Gebirge um den Viktoria- See; 3. die Gebirge von Athiopien; 4. ostmedi- terranes Gebiet: hauptsächlich Balkanhalbinsel und Italien; 5. westmediterranes Gebiet: haupt- sächlich Iberien und der palaearktische Teil von Nordafrika. Die drei afrotropischen Gebiete sind durch ausgedehnte trockene Steppen und Wüsten von einander getrennt. Jedes hat seine eigene charakteristische Fauna von Arten der Untergattung Tipula, was darauf hinweist, daß für diese Arten Austausch zwischen den ge- nannten Gebieten schwierig ist (Karte 2—4). Auch die beiden europäischen Gebiete haben je- weils ihre charakteristische Tipula-Fauna, sind aber deutlich weniger stark von einander ge- trennt als die afrotropischen Gebiete (Karte 5— 13). Die Verbreitung mehrerer mediterraner Arten in Italien und auf den mediterranen In- seln ist unklar. Vielleicht sind diese Kultur- schädlinge in diesem alten Kulturgebiet im Bal- last durch den Menschen verschleppt worden. Die Verbreitung von oleracea in Finnland (Kar- te 13) ist nach Mannheims, 1954, 1964. Es ist kaum vorstellbar, daß er sich in der Bestim- mung geirrt hat. Es ist aber merkwürdig, daß diese Art in Finnland sehr weit nördlich, in 74 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 3, 1984 Karte 9. Verbreitung von Tipula (T.) italica errans. Skandinavien dagegen nur im äußersten Süden vorkommt. Die Verbreitung von subcunctans in Sibirien (Karte 10) ist unklar, weil dort nur we- nig gesammelt worden ist. Wahrscheinlich ist die Verbreitung dieser Art disjunkt und hat sich das Areal ziemlich rezent ın einige Teilareale aufgeteilt. Aufgrund von Kladogramm 5 ist ein Areo- gramm aufgestellt (Kladogramm 6). In diesem ist statt des Artnamens die Verbreitung ver- zeichnet. Übersichtshalber sind innerhalb der Gruppen die Arten nicht alphabetisch geordnet wie ın Kladogramm 5, sondern nach Verbrei- tung: von links nach rechts die Arten aus dem südlichen Afrika, Zentralafrika, Athiopien, dem ostmediterranen Gebiet und dem westmediter- ranen Gebiet. Damit ein Vergleich mit Klado- gramm 5 erleichtert wird, sind die Namen der Arten abgekürzt hinzugefügt. Das Areogramm gibt keinen Anlaß zur Kritik an Kladogramm 5; im Gegenteil, die dort angeführten Verwandt- schaften, die größensteils auf deutliche Apo- Karte 10. Verbreitung von Tipula (T.) subcunctans. morphien, zum Teil aber auch auf schwächere Hinweise begründet sind, finden im Areo- gramm eine biogeographische Bestatigung. Aus dem Areogramm läßt sich die Geschichte der Untergattung Tipula ungefähr ablesen: 1. Durch Apomorphien 3—5 hat sich die Untergattung wahrscheinlich im Süden von Afrıka differenziert, wo wir jetzt noch die pri- mitiven Unterarten von soror finden, und wo auch die Arten der loveridgei-Gruppe heimisch sind. 2. Differenziert durch Apomorphie 7, hat sie sich von Südafrika über Ostafrika bis nach Europa verbreitet. Im südlichen Afrika finden wir noch die primitive zimbabwensis, in Athio- pien die primitive bicolor. In Zentralafrika hat die primitive Art sich durch Apomorphien 12— 13, in Europa durch Apomorphien 8—11 weiter differenziert. 14—15 alle alpin und jene mit Synapomorphie 16 fast durchwegs montan sind, hat in Zentral- afrika wohl eine oekologische Differenzierung in eine alpine Art mit Synapomorphien 14—15 und eine montane mit Synapomorphie 16 statt- gefunden. 4. Die alpine Art mit Apomorphien 14—15 hat sich wenigstens über die Gebirge östlich des | Viktoria-Sees verbreitet, wo jetzt alpine Arten auf Mount Elgon im Norden und am Kiliman- djaro im Süden nachgewiesen und aufgrund | dieser Verbreitung wenigstens auch auf Mount” Kenia und Aberdare Range zu erwarten sind. 5. Die montane Art mit Apomorphie 16 hat sich über ganz Ostafrika verbreitet, wo jetzt die einander sehr ähnlichen frater im südlichen ı Afrika, speiseriana in Zentralafrika und loeffleri: THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 75 in Athiopien vorkommen. Erst- und letztge- nannte haben sich in ihrer Region jeweils in weitere Arten differenziert. 6. Die europäsche Art mit Apomorphien 8—11 hat sich aufgespalten in eine plesiomor- phe westmediterrane Art und eine wahrschein- lich ostmediterrane mit Apomorphie 23. 7. Die plesiomorphe westmediterrane Art hat sich aufgespalten in die iberische klein- schmidti und in die — aufgrund ihrer Verbrei- tung wahrscheinlich ursprünglich nordafrikani- sche — mediterranea. Letztgenannte hat sich spater aber über das ganze westmediterrane Ge- biet verbreitet. 8. Die angenommene ostmediterrane Art mit Apomorphie 23 hat sich wohl wieder in eine plesiomorphe westmediterrane und in eine ost- mediterrane Art mit Apomorphien 24—25 auf- gespalten. 9. Die plesiomorphe westmediterrane Art hat sich erst über ein größeres Gebiet ausgebrei- tet. Dann hat sich das Areal aufgeteilt und in je- dem der Teilgebiete hat die Art sich weiter dif- ferenziert. Jetzt finden sich drei jeweils hochdif- ferenzierte Arten ohne wesentliche Synapo- morphien: atlantica auf Madeira, paludosa ursprünglich in Iberien und mit einer deutlich nacheiszeitlichen Ausbreitung in Westeuropa, und subcunctans mit Verbreitung von West- europa bis Japan. Die heutige Verbreitung der letztgenannten Art in Westeuropa ist nacheis- zeitlich entstanden. Es fallt auf, daf es von die- | ser Gruppe keine Art in Nordafrika gibt. Lebt dort noch eine unbekannte Art, oder hat palu- dosa vielleicht früher eine weitere Verbreitung gehabt? Karte 12. Verbreitung von Tipula (T.) orientalis (auch Sudan, W. Darfur, Mts. Marra, 13°n.Br./ 24°30'6.L.). 10. Aufgrund rezenter Verbreitung müssen wir annehmen, daß die ostmediterrane Art mit Synapomorphien 24—25 sich im ostmediterra- nen Raum aufgespaltet hat in plumbea mit Apo- morphie 29 und orientalis mit Apomorphien 26—28. Die heutige Verbreitung von plumbea und nächsten Verwandten gegenüber orientalis (Karte 7, 8, 9 und 12) läßt vermuten, daß sich damals eine Art der Balkanhalbinsel gegenüber einer kleinasiatischen differenziert hat. 11. 7. plumbea hat sich im italo-balkanischen Gebiet in plumbea und italica, und letztgenann- te wiederum in zwei Unterarten aufgespaltet: italica italica in Italien italica errans auf der Bal- kanhalbinsel und auf Korsika und Sardinien. In- Karte 13. Verbreitung von Tipula (T.) oleracea. nerhalb dieser Gruppe ist plumbea am meisten plesiomorph und diese Art hat heute wohl nur noch Relikt-Verbreitung (Karte 7). 12. T. orientalis hat sich stark ausgebreitet: nach dem Osten bis Afghanistan, nach dem Süden bis Sudan, nach dem Westen bis Iberien. Im letztgenannten Gebiet hat sie sich weiter dif- ferenziert zu oleracea, die sich später bis nach Italien und nacheiszeitlich über Westeuropa bis auf die Balkanhalbinsel ausgebreitet hat. Die etwaige Differenzierung der Artengrup- pen und Arten der Untergattung Tipula läfit sich aufgrund des Areogrammes und der ge- nauen Verbreitungsdaten auf Karte 2—13 ganz gut erfassen. Offentsichlich hat es nur einmal ei- ne große Verbreitung von Südafrika über Ost- afrıka bis nach Europa gegeben (Apomorphie 7). Im afrotropischen Raum hat es später noch einmal eine vergleichbare Verbreitung gegeben (Apomorphie 16). In Europa dagegen hat sich dreimal eine Art über das ganze mediterrane TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 76 3, 1984 5 3A I a ay STEVES) SI NEE Some Ss Be: EEE SENT RS È & - E SATO 3) 8 2 A SD) oS m © CR a ES NS = ES 1 <> @ i = oS ui Sete 3 3 Ss © = 3 SS RES ce. ee E = = N = 0 STR VES © v o 2 c = a È E — © 5 = ce a = 2 = = = a 2 © = = o = os DV Sl 5 o o ° DI = < Se) 2 a = = = - 9 nm 2 = = = g o = = mae ee _ o gu of o = ü o o o e x x c o g ~ Lu dg wo ® = za x (Ti) gy en Siti zei vs % © © At 55 52 à = ES Eg E ge 99 08 oe ve UE È © dg CR A à o g> LE ot ou be MT, XZ XC xG xo xo XU À sa + sf £ D hcl o Dv c c = c = cao Dv uv tai Wai E E Wel = “vy + = + we AT a u n =) 2 =! =] tri a & © © U =) =) © = = = = n n n n Dx = a n oa wo n N N N N WN N (GY a US Ve ea Ped oto 'o Oes ux = a 55 21-22 17-20 14-15 16 12-13 Areogramm 1.

Gebiet ausgebreitet (Apomorphie 8—11, 23 und 26—28), und einmal fand eine größere Ausbrei- tung im ostmediterranen Raum statt (Apomor- phie 24, 25), wo eine der Arten (orientalis), südlich bis in das afrotropische Gebiet (Sudan) gelangen konnte. Genaue Datierung dieser Vorgange ist schwierig, wenn nicht gar unmöglich. Palynolo- gische Untersuchungen haben uns gelehrt, daß es im Pleistozän nicht vier Eiszeiten und Zwischeneiszeiten, sondern eine ganze Reihe kälterer und warmerer Zeiten gegeben hat. Für an gemaftigtes Klima angepafite Arten waren die Kaltzeiten wichtig. In diesen Zeiten lebten diese Species zurückgedrängt in südlichen Refugien, wo Artbildung stattfinden konnte. In Klima, das jenem von heute ähnelt, haben sie sich aber wieder über ganz Westeuropa ausgebreitet. Für die an wärmeres Klima angepaßten mediterra- nen Arten waren die Wärmezeiten des Pleisto- zäns wohl von größerer Bedeutung. Erst in sol- chen Zeiten konnten sie sich über größeren Tei- len Europas ausbreiten, womit bei Abkühlung Zurückdrängen in ein west- und ostmediterra- nes Refugium — und damit Artbildung — mög- lich wurde. Heute sind die mediterranen Arten — auch die mediterranen Arten der Untergat- tung Zipula — noch deutlich in ihren Refugien. Es gibt aber Hinweise dafür, daß wenigstens einige mediterrane Tipuliden nacheiszeitlich ei- ne größere Verbreitung gehabt haben. Sie kom- men heute als Relikt noch irgendwo in Mittel- oder Westeuropa vor, z.B. brunneinervis Pierre (Eifel und Ardennen), longidens Strobl (Arden- nen und bei Frankfurt/Oder), pilicauda Pierre (Mittelfrankreich: Puy de Dôme), selenitica Wiedemann (Umgebung von Paris), pustulata Pierre (bei Frankfurt/Oder, im Harz und in der Umgebung von Paris). Eine größere Verbrei- tung können diese Arten nacheiszeitlich nur im warmen Atlantikum gehabt haben (7.500— 5.000 v.h.), als es in Nordwesteuropa die höch- sten nacheiszeitlichen Sommertemperaturen gab (etwa 2° C höher als heute und etwa 18° C Mit- THEOWALD: Die Untergattung Tipula 77 telwert). Sommertemperaturen von 18° C— 20° C fanden sich im Pleistozän etwa zehnmal und für deutlich längere Zeiten als während des Atlantikums. Aufgrund dessen ist anzunehmen, daß mediterrane Arten sich im Pleistozän etwa zehnmal über Europa haben ausbreiten können und damit zusammenhängend etwa zehnmal wieder in Refugien zurückgedrängt wurden. Wir können aber nur fünf solche Vorgänge aus Areogramm 1 ablesen (Apomorphien 8—11, 23, 2425, 26-28, 30—31). Dies bedeutet, daß Arten der Untergattung Tipula sich wahr- scheinlich wohl etwa zehnmal nach dem Nor- den ausgebreitet haben, aber weniger Male beim Anfang der Kaltzeiten in zwei isolierte Refugien zurückgedrängt wurden. Nicht auszuschließen ist aber, daß sie am Anfang einer Kaltzeit wohl in ein zweites Refugium kamen, sich dort aber nicht haben halten können. Vielleicht macht der Vergleich einer Reihe von Areogrammen medi- terraner Tipulidengruppen den Einfluß der Warmezeiten des Pleistozäns auf die Verbrei- tung von wärmeliebenden Insekten deutlicher. Obwohl also genaue Datierung unmôglich ist, ist es warscheinlich, daß die Aufspaltung in Arten im palaearktischen Raum in den Kaltzei- ten der zweiten Hälfte des Pleistozäns stattge- funden hat. Die Aufspaltung der afrotropischen Arten mit Synapomorphien 12—13 ist wohl vom gleichem Alter. Das Entstehen der Unter- gattung Tipula hat dann wahrscheinlich Anfang Pleistozän oder Ende Tertiar stattgefunden, wie auch Savtshenko (1966, 1979), wenn auch aus ganz anderen Gründen, vermutet.

The species are predominantly forest dwellers, which avoid cultivated areas. Al- though little is known of the ecology of any of the species, such field observations as have been recorded indicate that their larvae live in the small and large streams which cross the forests. Most of the males stay near the banks of the streams which gave them birth, but the females move into the forest and visit only again their parent streams for ovipositing. Hence females are particularly rare in collections. Of the 25 species known from South America, the females 80 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 4, 1984 of nine and the males of three species are un- known. Our knowledge of the genus is decided- ly scanty and it is virtually certain that several species wait to be discovered in the extensive jungles of the area involved. As Donnelly (1979) recently treated the Central American represen- tatives of this genus, I have confined myself to the South American congeners in order to avoid reiterations. Also it seems unnecessary to reca- pitulate the generic characters of Phyllogom- phoides since it has recently been compared with Gomphoides by Gloyd (1973) and Belle (1982), and with /diogomphoides by Belle (1984). Three new taxa have been detected, bringing the number of South American representatives of Phyllogomphoides up to 25. These three spe- cies are here described under the specific names major, pedunculus and pseudoundulatus. A neo- type for Phyllogomphoides selysi (Navás) is des- ignated as it appears necessary to stabilize its identity. The previously unknown female of this species is also described. The Comstock-Needham nomenclature for the longitudinal veins is used. With the excep- tion of figs. 31 and 32, all illustrations are origi- nal camera lucida drawings (details completed by free hand) or have been made from photo- graphs (wings), while the figures representing colour patterns of the labrum and the pterotho- rax are diagrammatic and not drawn on scale.

SYSTEMATIC SECTION The genus Phyllogomphoides belongs to the Gomphoidinae, together with the genera Pro- gomphus, Aphylla, Phyllocycla, Gomphoides, and /diogomphoides. It is a rather heteroge- neous unit which is readily separated from Pro gomphus in having the male anal triangle in the. hind wing reaching the hind angle of the wing, from Aphylla by the presence of two long flag ellae at the glans of the penis, from Phyllocycla in not having the outer side of these flagellae fringed with microscopic serratures, and from Gomphoides and Idiogomphoides in having, in the hind wing of the male, vein A2, or a branch è of it, convergent with vein A3 towards the wing \ margin. The larvae of Phyllogomphoides exhibit i considerable differences in the structure of their J. BELLE: South American Phyllogomphoides 81 labia, and there seems to exist some parallelism with the morphology of the adult dragonfly. Based on these labial structures the genus is di- visable into at least three sections (cf. Belle, 1982). In the present study the species are divi- ded into eight infrageneric groups, the proposed groupings being based on similarities found in the form of the caudal appendages and accesso- ry genitalia of the adult male and the labium of the larva. I am well aware that this division must be considered provisional. At this stage, it is dif- ficult to determine the natural position of these groups within the genus since a given group fre- quently appears to display close relationships with several other groups. For the purpose of idenufication, however, it is more convenient to | keep the adults united and combine them in one key. The species have several characters in com- _mon but the great diversity in the male caudal | appendages and the genital organs shows that they are not all closely related. This variety is sufficiently indicated in the key to the species. Separate keys have been prepared for the de- termination of males and females. The keys should be used with caution as a number of spe- cies is known only from a single specimen or from one sex. Identifications should always be checked against the complete descriptions. The groups have been treated in such a se- quence as to allow expression of apparent relationships. Within each group, however, the species are treated chronologically. For each species are given a list of references, drawings and locality records, the new material studied, and a description or descriptive notes. Refer- ences without comments or critical remarks have been omitted. Table 1 lists all species presently known from South America, including the new taxa intro- duced in the present paper.

They are bound together by several striking features, in the adults as well as in the larvae, and there are some grounds for believing that a generic separation would be justifiable. The characters not encountered elsewhere in the genus are: (1) the regular division of both trian- gles and subtriangles into four cells in the fore wings and three in the hind (figs. 1—4); (2) the very peculiar conformation of the anterior geni- tal hamule of the male (cf. Belle, 1970a: 112); (3) the aberrant form of the penial cornua, each cornus having the tip truncate and the apical margin concave (figs. 24, 25); (4) the different development of the lateral dilatations of the eighth abdominal segment in both sexes of the same species, those of the female being some- what better developed than those of the corre- sponding male (from the same locality); and in the larva, (5) the striking structure of the lateral labial lobes having the inner margin smooth and slightly expanded on the apical half, and the end hook very large, sinuously pointed and sharply incurved. The members fuliginosus, audax, praedatrix 84 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 4, 1984 and major have the usual thoracic colour pat- . tern but in selysi the pale markings are more ex- tended and in imperator the second pale antehu- meral stripe and pale metepisternal stripe are undeveloped or vestigial. The members of the fuliginosus group are known from the Amazon Basin, Mato Grosso, and the northern coastal area of South America. There exists a certain confusion among some members of the fuliginosus group. In 1894, Selys referred ten specimens of Phyllogomphoides from (British) Guyana to the species fuliginosus and audax but expressed doubt about the cor- rectness of his identification because he had not seen the female holotypes of the two species (loc. cit., page 178: “Il faudrait revoir les deux types de Hagen pour arriver à une certitude a cet égard”). Since I have been favoured to exam- ine these types, I can set forth that the gom- phids which he referred to fuliginosus belong to an undescribed species, here introduced under the specific name major, while the gomphids re- ferred to audax are the true fuliginosus. In the original descriptions (Selys, 1854), the measurements given for fuliginosus are “abdo- men 53 mm; hind wing 38 mm” and those of audax “abdomen 49 mm; hind wing 44 mm”. However, in Selys & Hagen’s Monographie des Gomphines of 1858 the measurements “abdo- men 49 mm; hind wing 44 mm” are (incorrect- ly) associated with fuliginosus and the mea- surements “abdomen 53 mm; hind wing 38 mm” with audax. Selys, probably confused by this transposition, referred the species with the largest wings (major) to fuliginosus and the spe- cies with the smallest wings (fuliginosus) to au- dax, a mistake in placement that has persisted down to the present day. Selys, then, described both sexes of major and fuliginosus under the names Gomphoides fuliginosa and Gomphoides audax, respectively. Needham (1944), apparent- ly being misled by Selys’ misidentification, gave a very detailed description and illustrations of the male of major, in the belief that he had the true fuliginosus in his hands. Belle (1970a), fi- nally, trusting the identifications of the previous authors, erected the genus Phyllogomphoides with Gomphoides fuliginosa Hagen in Selys, 1854, as the type species, basing his generic di- agnosis on characters found in the adult male and larva of both major and fuliginosus but thinking to have before him the species fuligino- sus and audax, respectively. In size, major ap- proaches audax but in its morphology, it differs considerably from that species.

The holotype, formerly stored in the Museum of Copenhagen, is now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cam- bridge, Massachusetts (MCZ type No. 12378). The female is dry pinned. The labels attached to the pin of the specimen are “Hagen” (white la- bel, printed), “fuliginosa” (white label, written), “Essequibo, Schmidt” (white label, written), and “Type 12378” (red museum label, printed). I have added the pin label “Phyllogomphoides fuliginosus (Hagen in Selys, 1854) comb. nov. Holotype Rev. J. Belle, 1984”. The type specimen lacks the abdominal seg- ment 8 with the specifically distinctive vulvar lamina. The tip of the abdomen (i.e. segments 9 and 10) is mounted on the label “Essequibo, Schmidt”. The stylets (cerci) are broken off and glued onto the apical part of the ultimate seg- ment but not in the original position. Nearly all hairs of the occipital ridge are broken off and lost. The hind wing (fig. 1) is 38 mm long, its greatest width 10.2 mm, and its pterostigma 6 mm (costal edge 5.6 mm). Other measurements | | | | J. BELLE: South American Phyllogomphoides 85 are to be found in the Monographie des Gom- phines under audax. The labrum of the type has a pair of large, subtriangular yellow spots (fig. 20). The occipi- tal ridge is slightly concave (fig. 38), and there is a large, yellow central spot on the rear of the occiput. The venation of the wings is blackish brown, including the frontal margin of the costae. The nodal index is 14 : 21— 21 : 14/15 : 14—16 : 15 in fore and hind wings, respectively. The hind wings have a two-celled anal loop and the area posterior to vein Cu2 is four cells wide with an extra cell for a fifth row in the left hind wing. The veins Cul and Cu2 are slightly divergent towards the hind wing margin, i.e. there are three marginal cells be- tween Cul and Cu2 in the left hind wing and four in the right. In 1894, Selys gave descriptions (commu- nicated by Mac Lachlan) of both sexes of fuligi- nosus (under the name Gomphoides audax), the descriptions being based on four males and one “female from Guyana. After the descriptions he enumerated the differences between fuliginosus and major (under the names Gomphoides audax and Gomphoides fuliginosa, respectively). Belle (1970a) published illustrations of the male of fu- liginosus (under the name Phyllogomphoides au- dax). | The two males in the Institut Royal des Sci- ences Naturelles at Brussels may have belonged ‚to the Mac Lachlan collection. The pin labels of these males read “Demerara” and “Gomphoides |audax? Hag. 3”. One of the males has more- Lover two pin labels “103”. | Dimensions of fuliginosus. Males from Suri- \nam: total length 65—69 mm; abdomen 50— 153.5 mm (incl. app. 3.4 mm); fore wing 37—38 ‚mm; hind wing 36—37 mm; greatest width of |hind wing 10 mm; costal edge of pterostigma in \fore wing 4.8—5.0 mm. For the males from Venezuela these numbers are 62—63; 49 (3.3); 134—35; 33—34; 9.5; 4.5—4.6. For the Venezu- ‚elan female from Sanariapa: 64; 51 (2.1); 38.5; 137; 1023513.

Selys & Hagen, 1858: 473, 474 (213, 214 sep.), pl. 11 figs. 6a—d (2 occiput, genit. & apex abd.). The description of this species has also been based on a single specimen. It is a female proba- bly taken in Pará, Brazil (cf. Selys, 1894: 178 “sans doute du Para”). The species seems to be a rare gomphid, only the type being known so far. The holotype, stored in the Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt-Universitat at East Berlin, is dry pinned. The pin labels are “2325” (white label, printed), “Type?” (red label, printed but question mark written), “Brasil” (green label, written), “audax Hag.” (green la- bel, written), “Zool. Mus. Berlin” (yellow label, printed; on reverse side written “I”), and “Gomphoides audax (Selys) Type?” (white la- bel, written). The question marks are wrong since this female is the only known specimen of this species. I have added the pin label “Phyllo- gomphoides audax (Hagen in Selys, 1854) comb. nov. Holotype Rev. J. Belle, 1984”. The type specimen is in a fairly good condi- tion. The colour pattern of the pterothorax is somewhat obliterated due to post mortem changes. The first pair of legs and the left sec- ond leg are missing. The right stylet (cercus) and the tip of the left stylet are broken off and lost. The lateral dilatations of the abdominal segment 8 are narrow, the width being only one-sixth the middorsal length of the segment (fig. 7). The labrum is largely yellow (fig. 22); in other members of the fuliginosus group with a pair of yellow spots. The occipital ridge is al- most straight (fig. 39) and there is a large, yel- low central spot on the rear of the occiput. The thoracic colour pattern is similar to that of fuli- ginosus. The venation of the wings is blackish brown, including the frontal margin of the cos- = Ther nodal - „index: 1, day 2,21 : 13/13 : 16—15 : 13. The hind wings have di anal loop three-celled, the area posterior to vein Cu2 five to six cells wide, and the veins Cul and Cu2 markedly divergent towards the wing margin. The vulvar lamina (fig. 11) is rath- er small; its breadth is nearly one-third the width of the ninth sternum and its length is two-sevenths of the length of the ninth sternum. The posterior margin of the vulvar lamina is more or less excised U-shaped. The dimensions of the type are: total length 66 mm; abdomen 50 mm (incl. cerci); hind wing 43 mm; greatest 86 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 4, 1984 width of hind wing 11.5 mm; costal edge of pte- rostigma in fore wing 6.0 mm. These mea- surements are in agreement with those given in the original description of 1854 and with those given in the Monographie des Gomphines of 1858 for fuliginosus. The smallest of both spe- cies is fuliginosus but the difference appears greater than a mere comparison of hind wing lengths might imply.

In 1924, Navas added a third member of the fuliginosus group, selysi, from Peru, basing his description on a single male collected in Pebas at the Amazon River. No new record has ap- peared in the literature until now. In the collec- tion of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia there are two similar Peruvian males from the nearby environment of Iquitos, the type locality of selysi. Prof. Westfall (Gai- nesville), who detected the gomphids in the Philadelphia Academy collection, has generous- ly turned them over to me for study. They cor- respond closely with Navás’ description and figure, except for the length of the insect and the length of the abdomen. Both lengths are about 8 mm greater for the present males. But the mea- surements given in that description, “Long. corp. 62.5 mm Long. abdom. 48 mm”, are prob- ably in error. It is virtually certain that one of the middle segments of the abdomen (which was obviously broken in fragments) was lacking or neglected during the measuring since the dis- parity in the length (8 mm) is about the length of each of these middle segments apart. Navas’ selysi shows very close affinity with fuliginosus and the question arises even whether selysi should be considered a subspecies of fuliginosus or not. Neotype designation of Gomphoides selysi Navás, 1924. — When I (Belle, 1970b) made a study of the Neotropical Gomphidae described by Navás, the holotype of Gomphoides selysi could not be re-examined because its location was unknown. Navás’ collections at the Jesuit’s Colegio de Salvador in Zaragoza were partly destroyed and the rest was divided up between the Colegio in Zaragoza and the Museo de Zo- ología at Barcelona (cf. Lieftinck, 1965: 56). The late Prof. Dr. B. Elwood Montgomery made a search for the types of Navás during his European trip of 1968. In the Barcelona Mu- seum he succeeded in locating the types of four Neotropical Gomphidae out of five described by Navás but failed with the type of selysz. I have also written to the Museum of Zoology at Ann Arbor, Michigan, as Williamson had accu- mulated notes and drawings of types and speci- mens of Phyllogomphoides with the intention of monographing the genus. But in reply Mrs. Gloyd informed me that Navás’ type of selysi had never been sent to Williamson for study. | She kindly sent to me a xerox copy of a letter (dated December 15, 1931) to Williamson in which Navás wrote: “J'ai décrit encore deux espèces: Selysi du Pérou et Eugeniae de l’Argen- tine; je ne les trouve plus. Je pense que le Selysi | se trouve dans le Muséum de Paris...” When I visited the Paris Museum in 1977 I ad not find |} any gomphid that recalled to this type. Il} therefore asked (June 17, 1983) Dr. Legrand to make a search for it. This he kindly did but he: wrote me on August 31, 1983 that all his efforts «| remained ineffective.

Colour pattern resembling that of neotype male but pale markings on labrum more round- ed (fig. 21), first pale antehumeral stripes not distinctly connected with pale collar, and pale marking of abdominal segment 7 extended on basal half of segment only. Wings hyaline, venation dark brown includ- ing frontal margin of costae. Membrane of wings at base with brown patches reaching to just beyond arculus (patches better developed than in the present males). Discoidal triangle and subtriangle four-celled in fore wings, three- celled in hind wings. Supratriangle three-celled in fore wings, two-celled in hind wings. Nodal index 16 : 24—23 : 16/19 : 17—20 : 18. Second anal interspace of hind wings with two rows of cells but that of left hind wing with three mar- ginal cells. Anal loop in hind wings two-celled.

Vulvar lamina one-fourth as long as ninth sternum, at base two-thirds the width of eighth Va 87 sternum, its posterior margin excised V-shaped; the lobes with projecting corners, the interval between lobes about 90° (fig. 10). Posterior margin of lateral dilatation of segment 9 with teeth. Stylet (cercus) somewhat longer than middorsal length of ninth segment, pale for its apical two-fifths. Ph. selysi is stouter, more robust and larger than its nearest ally, o The difference in size is most striking. The consistent differ- ences between the male caudal appendages of both species are very slight. The lateral leaf-like dilatations of the abdominal segment 8 are bet- ter developed than in fuliginosus, the greatest width of these expansions being one-third of the middorsal length of the segment, in fuliginosus only a quarter of the middorsal length of the segment. The two males have the first pale ante- humeral stripes confluent with the pale collar, in fuliginosus they are not connected with the pale collar. And finally, the pale basal marking of the abdominal segment 7 reaches far beyond the submedian transverse groove, while in fuligino- sus only to this groove. The female differs from fuliginosus in having the outer corners of the lobes of the vulvar lamina more produced.

Mr. Cook wrote to me on February 3, 1983, that he had a male of imperator from El Inferno, Territorio Federal Amazonas, Venezuela. The male’s colour pattern is essentially the same as that of the female holotype of this species with the second pale antehumeral stripe and the pale metepisternal stripe undeveloped. In conforma- tion, the male inferior caudal appendage resem- bles that of fuliginosus and selysi by the presence of well-developed branches. These data were communicated by Mr. Cook, who has gener- ously given me permission to use them to con- struct the key for the genus. A description of the male by him is in progress.

In 1894, Selys published descriptions (com- municated by MacLachlan) of both sexes of ma- jor (under the name Gomphoides fuliginosa), based on four males and one female taken in Guyana. Needham (1944) redescribed in length and illustrated the male of major (under the name Gomphoides fuliginosa), basing his de- scription on seven males from adjoining Suri- nam. Belle (1970a) gave illustrations of the adult male and a description of its larva from a reared female under the name Phyllogomphoides fuligi- nosus, all after specimens from Surinam. In size, major can be compared with audax but the females of these species show striking differences. The veins Cul and Cu2 of the hind wings are sub-parallel in major; they diverge markedly towards the wing margin in audax (figs. 2, 3). The lateral leaf-like dilatations of ab- dominal segment 8 of major are much better de- veloped than those of audax. The greatest width of these expansions is nearly half the middorsal length of segment 8; in audax only one-sixth the middorsal length of segment 8 (figs. 7, 8). The labrum of major has the usual symmetric pair of yellow spots, while that of audax is largely yellow (figs. 22, 23). The male of audax is unknown but I think that it will present the same characteristics. The chosen holotype of major is a male la- beled “Surinam”, “Surinam River, Gansee, 27 Sept. 1957, J. Belle leg.”, and “Phyllogom- phoides major spec. nov. Holotype & Det. J. Belle, 1984”. It is in the author’s collection but eventually will be deposited in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie at Leiden together with all other types in his collection. Some features of the holotype are: total length 77 mm; abdomen 58.5 mm (incl. caud. | app. 4 mm); fore wing 45.5 mm; hind wing 44 mm; greatest width of hind wing 6.5 mm; costal edge of pterostigma in fore wing 6.3 mm. Vena- tion of wings brown but frontal margin of cos- tae yellow at base of wings. Discoidal triangle | and subtriangle four-celled in fore wings, three- celled in hind wings. Supratriangle three-celled in fore wings, two-celled in hind wings. Nodal index 15 :23—25 : 15/19 : 16—18 :17. Hind wings with a four-celled (right) and five-celled (left) anal triangle, with a two-celled anal loop, with area posterior to Cu2 four to five cells wide, and with two marginal cells between Cul and Cu2 in either wing. The males from Guyana may also have be- longed to the MacLachlan collection. They have the pin labels “B. Demarara” and “Gomphoides fuliginosa Hag. 6”. One of the males moreover has two pin labels “102”. The other specimens formerly recorded by me under the name Phyllogomphoides fuligino- sus (cf. Belle, 1970a) as well as the present ones‘ should be considered paratypes. The superior caudal appendages of the males from Venezuela have the subapical, superior inner strip and them inferior inner tooth at one-third length general- ly longer and more acuminate than those of the males from Surinam. | CRISTATUS GROUP The species cristatus does not fit satisfactorily / into any of the groups discussed in this paper. Itt is classified here as a separate group. Phyllo-- gomphoides cristatus resembles several other‘ species of the genus but it is aberrant in the male» caudal appendages by the simplified structure of | the superiors which lack any protuberance, and | J. Berre: South American Phyllogomphoides 89 by the extremely reduced inferior. The penis re- sembles that of the fuliginosus group but the ap- ical margin of the truncate cornua is not con- cave. The larva of this group and that of the an- dromeda group and undulatus group, discussed below, has the inner margin of the lateral labial lobe armed with a few blunt teeth. Phyllogomphoides cristatus is known only from Surinam.

Only the location of the right pair of wings of the male holotype of this species is known. According to Needham (1944) the type should be in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- delphia, but the staff of this institution was not able to locate it (Dr. Emsley 1966, pers. comm.). As Needham made his studies of 1944 in the Cornell University, Ithaca (New York), I wrote to Prof. Pechuman for information. He | kindly made a search for the type in the Cornell collections and on August 17, 1982 informed me as follows: “Gomphoides cristatus. C.U. Type No. 3070. & holotype, 2 wings only; | probably Needham returned the rest of the specimen to Philadelphia; there is no locality data on slide with wings. © allotype in an enve- lope; in our type book it is noted you saw the © allotype and said it was undulatus”. I have also asked Prof. Westfall (Gainesville) for the whereabouts of the type and he kindly replied on November 9, 1982: “I had no record of any specimen of Gomphoides cristatus Needham, 1944, in my notes. I have a list of all the type specimens in the Philadelphia Academy collec- tion when I was there and the name does not appear in that list. I also made a list of the spe- cies represented in the collection and it is not there.” ANDROMEDA GROUP This group is composed of the three species andromeda, cassiopeia and cepheus. The feature possessed in common is the more or less twee- zers-shaped conformation of the male superior caudal appendages. The wide range of andromeda is very strik- ing; 1t covers the area from the northern coast of South America to the northern regions of Ar- gentina. The distribution of the other two mem- bers of the group seems to be restricted to Para- guay and the Brazilean State of Mato Grosso.

UNDULATUS GROUP This group is made up of the six species un- 90 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 4, 1984 dulatus, atlanticus, aculeus, angularis, peduncu- lus, and pseudoundulatus. The feature possessed in common, which permits recognition of the group, is the possession of a long, thin basal spine at the inferior margin of each male superi- or caudal appendage. The group is chiefly Amazonian in its distri- bution but two members, #ndulatus and atlanti- cus, also occur in the northern coastal area of South America.

The specimen here recorded is No. 78 of St. Quentin (1973), who provisionally placed it un- der atlanticus. In fact the male belongs to a new species which is very closely related to angula- ris. It differs from atlanticus and agrees with an- gularis by the uncrossed subtriangle in the hind wings (fig. 34) and in having the posterior mar- gin of the anterior hamules armed with an acute hook (fig. 35). It differs from angularis in hav- ing the first pale antehumeral stripes not con- fluent with the pale collar and in having the penial peduncle (seminal vesicle) excessively elongated being about half as long as the second abdominal segment (fig. 36); it is only one-third the length of the second abdominal segment in angularis. The superior caudal appendages are not curved so very strongly mesad as in angula- ris (fig. 33). Male (holotype; thorax partly crushed; legs broken off except for the right third leg; abdo- men broken between segments 3 and 4). — To- tal length 52 mm; abdomen 39.5 mm (incl. caud. app. 2.0 mm); hind wing 30 mm; costal edge of pterostigma in fore wing 4.0 mm. A brown species marked with green, resem- bling angularis. Head brown, the following green: a large ob- long spot on each side of labrum, basal half of mandibles externally, anteclypeus, lateral sides of postclypeus, and superior surface of frons for its anterior half. Prothorax with a middorsal pale twin-spot on middle lobe. Thoracic colour pattern shaped as shown diagrammatically in fig. 18. Tibiae, tarsi and claws black. Lamina tibialis of first tibiae one-third the tibial length. Wings hyaline but extreme bases very slightly flavescent. Wing venation blackish brown but frontal margin of costae proximal to nodus with a very fine yellow line. Nodal index 11 : 19— 20 : 12/13 : 15—15 : 11. Cubito-anal interspace of either fore wing with an extra cross-vein at level of arculus. Anal triangle in hind wings made up of four (right) and five (left) cells. Abdomen predominantly dark brown, the pale markings green on basal segments, yellow on other segments. Segments 1 to 6 with a pale middorsal line which becomes very fine on apex of 5 and on 6. Sides of 1 and 2 pale. Sides of 3 to 6 with pale basal spots which become shorter on rear segments, successively, reaching to a point three-quarters the way along the segment on 3, and to a point a quarter the way along the seg- ment on 6. Base of 7 pale to submedian trans- verse groove. Accessory genitalia and caudal appendages shaped as shown in accompanying figures. Gen- J. Berre: South American Phyllogomphoides SH ital hamules pale, the chitinized tip of the hooks brown. Penial peduncle brown, its posterior margin deeply cleft and with a strong median tooth on the bottom of the cleft. In profile, the apical segments of the abdomen, including the caudal appendages, are very similar to those of angularis. Phyllogomphoides pseudoundulatus spec. nov. (fig. 17) Material. — Brazil: Pará, Rio Tapajós (Ca- choeira I), May 1920, 1 d (holotype), A. H. Fassl leg., SMF. The resemblance between this species and un- dulatus is so strong that on a superficial view they can easily be confused. With the exception of the penile organs, the morphological differ- ences are very slight and they can better be stated by direct comparison than by description. The new species, here introduced under the spe- cific name pseudoundulatus, is somewhat small- er and more delicate than undulatus. The cornua of the penis, when pressed close to the venter of the abdomen, reaches to a point half-way be- tween the base and the submedian transverse groove of the third abdominal segment; in un- dulatus to a point on level with these grooves. The lateral dilatations of the abdominal seg- ments 8 and 9 are twice as narrow as those in undulatus. The superior caudal appendages of both species are very similar in configuration but those of pseudoundulatus are a trifle more slender. The most striking difference in the col- oration is found on the thoracic dorsum. In pseudoundulatus the first pale antehumeral stripe is wide and broadly confluent with the pale collar, while in undulatus it is narrow and does not reach the pale collar (figs. 16, 17). Male (holotype; head partly and thorax com- pletely hollowed out by scavangers; thoracic colour pattern largely obliterated by post mor- tem changes; fragmented). — Total length 53 mm; abdomen 41 mm (incl. caud. app. 2.1 mm); hind wing 28 mm; costal edge of pterostigma in fore wing 3.5 mm. A brown specimen with pale markings, seem- ingly yellow originally. Face brown. Labrum with nondescript lighter markings (in undulatus, black with a symmetric pair of green spots). Base of mandibles pale. Vertex dark brown. Occipital plate brown. Prothorax blackish brown. Thoracic colour pattern shaped something like in fig. 17. Tho- racic dorsum dark brown with broad pale stripes. Sides of pterothorax largely pale. Brown midlateral stripe partly developed. Brown femoral stripe indistinct. Ventral side of femora pale (in undulatus, the ventral side of the second and third pair of fe- mora is blackish brown). Lamina tibialis of first tibiae one-third the tibial length. Flavescence at extreme bases of wings less de- veloped than in undulatus. Reticulation of wings less dense than in undulatus. Nodal index 13 : 18—17 : 10/12 : 13—13 : 12. Abdomen predominantly dark brown, almost black on middle segments. Segments 1 and 2 similar to those of #ndulatus but segments 3 to 7 lacking pale dorsobasal markings. Instead, the ‚sides of 3 are largely pale, medially interrupted by black, and the sides of 4 are pale at both ends only. SEMICIRCULARIS GROUP The species composing this large group are very nearly allied inter se. Most of its members occur in Central America. Three species, viz. semicircularis, lieftincki and brunneus, belong to the fauna of South America. However, there is always a possibility that members known hith- erto from Central America turn up in Colom- bia, and conversely. Features possessed in com- mon and not encountered elsewhere in the ge- nus include the semicircular form of the male superior caudal appendages and the crenate in- ner margin of the lateral labial lobes of the larva. The range of this group covers the whole area of Central America and the northwestern part of continental South America, southward to Bo- livia.

Phyllogomphoides brunneus hitherto was known from Ecuador only; its discovery in Venezuela extends the range of this species con- siderably eastwards. The colour design of the thoracic dorsum va- ries greatly in this species. The male from Vene- zuela has the first pale antehumeral stripes cu- neiform and broadly confluent with the pale collar. The second pale antehumeral stripes are reduced to a dorsal spot, a kind of reduction al- so observed in the related congeners semicircu- laris and lieftincki (cf. Belle, 1970a: 157; 1972: 231; and 1982: 14). The Ecuadorian male and female from Napo- Pastaza have completely undeveloped second pale antehumeral stripes, while the first pale an- tehumeral stripes are not connected with the pale collar. The pale collar and antehumeral stripes are weakly developed in the female, and they are about twice as narrow as those in the male. One of the males from Santiago-Zamora is stored in a triangular envelope with the field note: “Sometimes found in deep woods, away from water, D.B.L.”. CALVERTI GROUP In this group I place the two very closely re- lated species calverti and camposi. The most striking features in common are the fundamen- tal similarity in the form of the male superior caudal appendages and the penis. Each superior caudal appendage has two inferior processes on the proximal half while the preputial fold of the penis (c.f. Fraser, 1940: 544) is much produced ventrally (figs. 31, 32). Tentatively I place singularis in this group as well. I have long hesitated about its classifica- tion as the male abdominal terminalia are un- known. But judging from the conformation of the accessory genitalia, singularis seems to fit best into the calverti group. This disposition may later be confirmed when better material be- comes available. The distribution of camposi is remarkable in that it occurs in the western part of the Andean Cordilleras while the other two members of the group are known from the Amazon and eastern Bolivia. Apparently the Andean watershed of- fers no barrier to the spread of the group.

ANNECTENS GROUP This group is composed of two closely linked species, annectens and regularis. The two im- portant features shared by these species are also the fundamental similarity in the form of the male caudal appendages and the penis. Each male superior caudal appendage has a strong in- ferior tooth at the extreme base. The penis is pe- culiar in having the stem provided with an ob- tuse apical, dorsal spine, in having the median segment unusually stout and the cornua broad and grooved (fig. 27). The range of this group seems to be restricted to the eastern regions of the South American highland.

This species was decribed after two males as may be apparent from the measurements given in the original description “Abdomen 44—46. Aile inférieure 37—38”. In the Selysian collec- tion in Brussels there are three specimens placed under Gomphoides annectens: (1) a male in fairly good condition; it was selected as the lec- totype by me (cf. Belle, 1970a); (2) a male, lack- ing the abdomen, with the labels “P Br” (green label), “Cyclophylla ? annectens. De Selys a ren- voyer” (an old label in Selys’ handwriting), “det. Selys Gomphoides annectens Selys” (a re- cent white label in an unknown handwriting), and “Paratypus” (red museum label); (3) a fe- male, lacking the apical half of the abdomen, with the labels “Para schl.” (green label), “Gomph. annectens” (an old label in Selys’ handwriting), and “Paratypus” (red museum la- bel). This specimen was called the allotype fe- male of Gomphoides annectens by St. Quentin (1967: 141). The female, however, belongs to the genus Aphylla Selys. The male lectotype of annectens is peculiar in having the end segments of the abdomen dense- ly covered with rather long, stuff hairs.

The examples of this species recorded from Santa Catarina by me (Belle, 1970a) differ from those of Minas Gerais in having the prothorax entirely dark brown, whereas in the (type) spec- imens from Minas Gerais the prothorax is largely pale with dark brown markings on the middle lobe only. But the most striking differ- ence is found in the thoracic colour pattern which in the specimens from Santa Catarina is composed of black, brown and white-green stripes (fig. 19). This colour difference between the thoracic stripes is also observed in annectens but in less degree. The present female from “Brazil ?” has the same coloration as the (allotype) female from Minas Gerais. The female from Rio Grande do Sul was referred to annectens by St. Quentin but 94 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 4, 1984 is referable to regularis since the end segments of the abdomen are scarcely provided with hairs, a character displayed by the male holo- type and female allotype of regulars. The ptero- thorax of the female from Rio Grande do Sul is completely eaten out by scavengers, while the thoracic colour pattern cannot sufficiently be studied because it is largely obliterated. St. Quentin’s figure 5d of its vulvar lamina is quite misleading. The excision is in fact much deeper. The configuration of the vulvar lamina of this female is as shown by my camera lucida draw- ing fig. 13. CORNUTIFRONS GROUP The position of the sole member of this group, cornutifrons, is not clear as long as the male sex of this species is unknown. The pecu- liar characteristic of the female, viz. the pres- ence of a pair of large horns on the top of the frons, has led me to keep this species in a sepa- rate group. Phyllogomphoides cornutifrons is known only from the isle of Trinidad.

Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, deel 127, afl. 5 Gepubliceerd 31-XII-1984 NEW AND LITTLE KNOWN MESITIINAE FROM SOUTHERN EUROPE AND AFRICA (HYMENOPTERA, BETHYLIDAE) by L. MÓCZÁR Hungarian Natural History Museum, Baross u. 13, H-1088 Budapest ABSTRACT Of the South European and African Mesitiinae (Bethylidae) 19 species and subspecies are listed from new localities in the Mediterranean and Ethiopian regions, and from Southern U.S.S.R. Six new species are described: Anaylax pardoi sp. n. (9), Clytrovorus suarezi sp. n. (2), Metrionotus bekkeri sp. n. (6), Sulcomesitius grahamensis sp. n. (2), S. zambiensis sp. n. (6), and Heterocoelia nikolskajae sp.n.(2 3). INTRODUCTION In spite of the increasing number of known Mesitiinae species of the world, a raise from 35 (Kieffer, 1914) to 175 (Móczár, 1984), collec- tions still yield numerous specimens which prove to be new species or to represent new lo- cality data. The present species were mostly col- lected in the Mediterranean region and in the southern territories of the U.S.S.R., and partly in the Ethiopian region. I received extensive help from many col- leagues, to whom I express my sincere thanks: C. van Achterberg (Leiden, the Netherlands), M. Koponen (Helsinki, Finland), G. Pagliano (Torino, Italy), J. Suárez (Almeria, Spain), V. I. Tobias (Leningrad, U.S.S.R.), and H. Townes (Gainesville, Florida, U.S.A.). Anaylax pardoi sp. n. (figs. 1—3) _ Female. — Length 4 mm.

I name this species in honour of the collector, A. Pardo. This species is related to A. moczari (Nagy, 1968) and A. mteger (Kieffer, 1906) but differs chiefly by the head and pronotum, which is smooth, shining, and with scattered deep punc- tures (fig. 1), by the propodeum (fig. 3), by the fine punctures on tergite 2 (fig. 2), by the largely black colour, etc. Clytrovorus suarezi sp. n.

Pronotum nearly as long as broad (24 : 25), anterior corners rounded (fig. 4), lateral sides only weakly, gradually diverging towards tegu- lae, posterior margin slightly arched, surface uniformly finely alutaceous and shining with more scattered deep punctures than on head, without a trace of longitudinal furrow. Mesono- tum, scutellum alutaceous, shining, only with very few punctures (fig. 4), parapsidal furrow weakly developed, notaulices deeper, distinctly convergent towards scutellum. Propodeum re- markably short, as long as half the transverse diameter (15 : 15), central carina distinct, medi- an carinae hardly developed, and hardly percep- tible, discal carinae parallel medially but diverg- ing anteriorly and also posteriorly over less than one-fifth of its length (fig. 4), sublateral carina absent, lateral and transverse carinae well devel- oped posteriorly, sublateral area with foveae of rather larger size along anterior margin but with smaller ones along lateral and posterior margins, surface of sublateral areas moderately bending postero-laterally towards spines and sharply © curved down along its whole lateral margin, be- cause of this the lateral carinae lying conspicu- Móezár: Mesitiinae 103 | | Figs. 13.

I name this species in honour of the outstand- ing specialist of Mutillidae, Mr. Javier Suarez of Almeria, Spain. This species is similar to C. zavadili (Hoffer, 1936), but differs by the shorter and obtuse spine of the propodeum, by the margin of the central area of the propodeum not being con- vergent anteriorly as well as posteriorly, by the lack of a small, rectangular fovea in this area, by the colour, etc. This species is related to C. horvathi (Kieffer, 1906) (fig. 7) but differs mainly by the head and pronotum-mesonotum-scutellum not being granulated, by the propodeum without an acute spine, by the central area not being strongly broadened anteriorly and not parallel-sided pos- teriorly, by the surface of the sublateral area not gradually bending down towards lateral margin and spine, by the pronotum not having a deep and narrow longitudinal furrow (fig. 7), etc. Mesitius africanus africanus Kieffer, 1906 (fig. 6) Mesitius africanus Kieffer, 1906: 401 (2).

This species is easy to distinguish from the re- lated M. szaboi Méczär, 1970, by the longitudi- nal furrow before the antennae, by the distinctly concave lateral margin of the spoon-like keel of the clypeus, as well as by tergite 2 being without very fine scattered punctures. It was reported from Gibraltar (Cameron, 1888) and Morocco, Jordan (Móczár, 1970a, 1983). Mesitius ghilianii Spinola, 1851 (fig. 8) Mesitius ghiliani Spinola, 1851: 73 (2).

The above specimens correspond to those de- scribed from France (Móczár, 1970a: 190, 195) but the length varies between 4.2—6.5 mm; the Moczar: Mesitiinae 105 grooves of the ocelli are distinctly smaller than those in the French specimens and similar to the ones reported from Egypt (Moczar, 1983). In addition to the description: the surface of the sublateral areas (fig. 8) not shagreened nearly over its whole surface but only on its anterior half (1 2) and smoothly shining with only a very fine trace of striae nearly on its whole sur- face (5 2), pronotum not with fine but with dis- tinct punctures (fig. 8), and length of head four- fifths of its breadth. These differences are not essential and fall within te variation of this spe- cies. This species was reported before from Sicily (Spinola, 1851), Corsica (Marshall, 1874), Gi- braltar (Cameron, 1889), Gallia (Dalla-Torre, 1898), Tunis, Algeria (Picard, 1932), Corfu (Nagy, 1969) and Egypt (Moczar, 1983).

I name this species in honour of the collector, the late outstanding chalcidologist M. N. Nikolskaja. This species seems to represent a transitional form between the genera Heterocoelia and Met- rionotus. It can be included in Metrionotus on the basis of the sculpture of the pronotum, but it was nevertheless placed in Heterocoelia be- cause of features of the propodeum and the head, and also because of its relation to the closely related species H. hungarica (Kieffer, 1906) and H. c. carceli (Westwood, 1874). The female is easy recognizable by the black head (except antennae, mouth parts and part of clypeus), by the thorax and abdomen as well as by the rather smooth, shining pronotum with few larger punctures in anterior half, which dis- tinguishes it from all other Heterocoelia species. The male differs from H. hungarica by the pronotum being not densely and coarsely punc- tured and tergite 2; it differs from AH. c. carceli especially by the pronotum usually being with- out narrow and deep longitudinal sulcus and without rather dense and larger punctures, as well as by tergite 2, which has more scattered and distinct punctures with larger smooth pol- ished interspaces, etc. Heterocoelia carceli carceli (Westwood, 1874) Mesitius carceli Westwood, 1874: 166, pl. 31 fig. 9 (2).

Heterocoelia carceli obscura (Kieffer, 1906) Mesitius carceli var. obscurus Kieffer, 1906: 411, 535, 545 (6) (incorrectly attributed to Snellen van Vol- lenhoven). Mesitius carceli obscurus; Kieffer, 1914: 303 (8). Heterocoelia carceli carceli var. obscura; Móczár, 1971: 308, 315 (4). The citation of Snellen van Vollenhoven, 1867 — (Tijdschr. Ent. 10: 222) given by Kieffer (1904: 40) is incorrect, because neither in Snellen van Vollenhoven’s paper (1867, p. 222-226!) nor in any of his other publications any trace of the | name “obscurus” has been found. Consequent- ly, I propose to accept the opinion of C. van: Achterberg (in litt.) that Kieffer is the author of | obscurus. The first reference by Kieffer was, based on a male. Kieffer (1906: 411, 535) in his, catalogue mentioned neither a date nor a locali- « ty, as he did for other species, which indicates) that he had no printed source or specimen; per- haps he received a letter from Snellen van Vol- lenhoven near the end of his life, containing data i on “obscurus”. On the other hand, Kieffer: (1914: 303) recorded this species from “Hol-. land”. In the Leiden collection there is an old la-- 1) The single unnamed taxon really is a Proctotrupid, , not a Bethylid, according to fig. 4 in Snellen Van Vols lenhoven’s paper of 1867. Moczar: Mesitunae 109 bel, written by Snellen van Vollenhoven “obscu- rus Voll.”. Unfortunately, the above four speci- mens were collected in Italy and not in “Holland”, they are females and not males and clearly represent Heterocoelia nagyı Móczár, 1969, and not H. carceli (Westwood). After the information kindly supplied by C. van Achter- berg no male specimens of Mesitius carceli were found in the collection, so the original material is considered to be lost. In the collection of Budapest (Hung. Nat. Hist. Mus.) there is a male specimen, which per- fectly corresponds to Kieffer’s description of carceli obscurus, collected at the foot of the Mountain Alps “Köszeg, Méhely”. I here desig- nate this specimen as neotype (Hym. Typ. No. 3707 Mus. Budapest). Kieffer’s description can be supplemented as follows: frons and vertex differently punctured, latter only with superficial punctures, inter- spaces shagreened, hardly shining. Punctures of pronotum with sharper margins than in carceli carceli (Westwood). Tergite 2 slightly more densely punctured than in carceli, but not so deeply and densely as in halidayi (Westwood, 1874). Tergite 2 more extensively granulate bas- ally than in carceli.

DESIGNATION OF LECTOTYPES 1856. INTRODUCTION Although Masner (1965) published a paper on the types of the Proctotrupoidea in the British Museum (Natural History) (BMNH) and in the ope Department of Entomology at Oxford, he Platygastridae described by Haliday and alker have continued to be largely ignored. No less than 113 British, Irish and Scottish spe- cies of Platygastridae have been described by aliday and Walker. In addition to the BMNH aterial, the present authors have also studied the type specimens preserved in the National Museum of Ireland (NMI), Dublin. Two store- oxes at NMI, part of the Haliday collection nd numbered 16 and 23, contain the majority >f his own and Walker’s platygastrid types. An ccount of the Haliday collection has been pub- ished by O’Connor & Nash (1982). Graham 1982) has provided additional notes on its his- ory. Thanks to Dr. J. P. O’Connor, the senior uthor had the relevant contents of boxes 16 nd 23 on loan for over a year. From this aterial 84 lectotypes have been designated. In ddition, 27 lectotypes have been selected from by H.J. VLUG Instituut voor Plantenziektenkundig Onderzoek, Binnenhaven 12, Wageningen, The Netherlands and 115 M. W. R. DE V. GRAHAM 5 Salisbury Crescent, Oxford, Great Britain Abstract A survey is given of the Platygastridae described by Haliday and Walker from the British Isles. The relevant collections at the British Museum (Natural History) and the National Museum of Ireland have been studied and analysed as to types of pins, characteristics of mounting and, often subsequently attached, labels. Lectotypes are designated for nearly all species. Eurostemma Szelényi, 1938, is found to be a junior synonym of Allotropa Foerster, the material of the BMNH and one lectotype has been designated from specimens in the “Na- turhistorisches Museum”, Vienna. One species was not represented in any of the above institu- tions and it has to be regarded as a nomen dubi- um. Three species, renamed by Kieffer, have al- so been included in this paper. The examined collections are amongst the earliest made of the Platygastridae and they provide therefore a sound foundation for the study of the group. Although many taxa de- scribed by Nees (1834) are of earlier date, a larger number of species were described by Haliday and Walker. The Nees material has been lost and as a consequence neotypes for his species will have to be established eventually. We have restricted our study to those species which were described by Haliday in 1833, Walker and Haliday in 1835 and Walker in 1838. On page 218 of his 1835 paper Walker states: “In the first volume of the Entomological Magazine there is. an excellent methodical ar- rangement of these and other minute Hymeno- ptera, by Mr. Haliday; who, by the loan of his 116 MSS. and collection contributed much to the following descriptions—”. The species de- scribed by Haliday, but which appeared in Walker’s paper are therefore quoted as “Hali- day in Walker” when Walker mentions: “(Hali- day, MSS.)” or in the case of Iphitrachelus lar: “(Halliday)”. However, whenever Walker States) (Halıday, (Curtis; | Brin 300) Walker must be considered the authority. This situation arises because these names appeared in a list without any description (Curtis, 1830), Walker merely using the Haliday names for his own descriptions. For Platygaster velutinus, Walker only provides a figure of the male and female antennae. Although P. elongatus also ap- peared in Curtis (1830) without a description, Haliday has been retained as the authority since he characterized it in his 1833 key. The type localities quoted in this paper are cited as they appeared in the original descrip- tions. Most of them are “near London” (which is actually near Southgate [Graham, 1979]), “New Lanark” (Scotland) and “Holywood” (Ireland, collected by Haliday). A handwritten “Catalogue of Irish Insects” by Haliday is preserved in NMI. Although it has never been published, it is cited in this pa- per; undoubtedly it postdates 1838. TYPE DESIGNATIONS Unless Masner (1965) states explicitly “Lec- totype”, his designations are not considered val- id. The term “unique” employed by him does not refer to either a holotype or a lectotype. This difficulty also arises with the labels, affixed to the BMNH material; these could indicate syntype status in some instances. Although both Haliday and Walker utilized a variety of pins for their specimens, short En- glish pins were used mainly for the Platygastri- dae. Haliday usually colour-coded the pin- heads as follows: red (English), green (Irish) and white (Scottish). In some cases, coloured la- bels were used to indicate provenance. Such evi- dence has enabled the authors to choose some lectotypes based upon the locality data given in the original descriptions. Whenever the pin- heads were uncoloured and no other relevant data was available, a lectotype was selected if the relevant specimen agreed exactly with the published description. Walker and Haliday mounted their specimens in different styles. The former glued the specimens carelessly on the card which was cut regularly in a rectangular shape. He pinned the card exactly in the mid- TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 6, 1984 point along an edge. By contrast, Haliday care- fully glued his specimens on their cards, spread- ing out the antennae, wings and legs. As Gra- ham (1982) and O’Connor & Nash (1982) have pointed out, he pinned the often irregularly cut card in a corner. The BMNH material was re- pinned with continental pins by James Water- ston in 1928 (J.W. labels). Since the original pins were not retained, this action may have de- stroyed evidence indicating provenance. When specimens were not labelled according to species (e.g. Haliday box 16), we have at- tempted to assess the concept of a particular species by studying the original descriptions in detail and by examining its location in the origi- nal arrangement of the material in the box. The junior author made a detailed plan of the con- tents of this box in 1961, enabling a careful study of Haliday’s arrangement to be made. A copy of this drawing has been deposited in NMI. In 1961, the junior author listed the contents of Haliday boxes 16 and 23. This has provided a basis for type selection. The numbers cited in this paper refer to that list. The BMNH types have a different numbering system. All lecto- types have been given a red label stating “Lecto- type H. J. Vlug 1982” and a determination label with “det. H. J. Vlug 1982”. The NMI material has been mounted on polyporus blocks which is staged with continental-type pins. The original labels and pins have been preserved. The types are labelled either “box 16” or “box 23. Stood in | original Haliday collection under...” THE 1838 SPECIES The arrangement of Walker’s descriptions in his 1838 paper are even more complex than those of 1835 and the sequence has caused many problems for subsequent students. Later work- ers have been confused and this applies particu- larly to Kieffer (1914, 1926). Szelényi has al ready mentioned this difficulty in his 1938 pa- per on /nostemma. identification key. The genus /nostemma com mences with the word “Fem.” and then contin-— | Walker’s descriptions follow the form of an | | ues with a morphological description of J. hispo. This is followed by the species number viz. “Sp.l. Ino. Hispo. Fem.” and a short characteri- zation of the coloration. Next, he gives a de tailed description of the colours, commencing | with “Aters”. The description ends with» “Found by Mr. Haliday” etc. The next species I. favo and all subsequent ones are treated in a | : | VruG & De V. GRAHAM: Types of Platygastridae 117 similar manner. Each species description is therefore split into two sections by the insertion of the relevant species number, one part appear- ing above the number, the other below it. This | is a most unusual system causing misinterpreta- tion because normally a complete species de- scription would follow its number in a list. Kieffer (1914) erred by starting in the case of J. hispo with “Sp. |. Ino. Hispo” and ending just above “Sp. 2 Ino. Favo”. He omitted the first | part of the description of J. hispo and included the initial section of J. favo with the second one of J. hispo, thus combining the descriptions of the two species. Similarly, because he had be- come confused by Walker’s sequence, he mixed up the description of J. favo with that of J. bot- er, I. boter with that of J. europus and I. euro- pus with that of J. ocalea. He listed J. ocalea among the unrecognized species (“Ungenùgend beschriebene Arten”), thus merely providing a translation of the second part commencing with | “Sp. 5. Ino. Ocalea”. With the exception of two individuals la- belled “boter”, no specimens were provided with a specific name in either BMNH or NMI. No. 1198 in NMI does fit the description of /. Aispo but it has a label with “Jnostemma syrinx” on it. This manuscript name occurs in Haliday’s catalogue where it is given the number 5. By contrast, J. hispo is numbered 4. Apparently, Haliday considered these two species separate and consequently no. 1198 is not considered to be a syntype of J. hispo. I. favo is number 3 in the catalogue. In Haliday’s collection it is repre- sented by nine specimens and these all fit the ® description. /. boter is represented by four spec- imens, two of which have the labels mentioned above. There are three specimens of J. europus ® which fit accurately the species description ex- cept that Walker cites a male. However, he States: “antennae clavatae” and “8us. Jus. et 10us. lati, clavam fingentes fusiformem” which fits a female antenna. Undoubtedly, Walker istook his specimen (a female) for a male and iscounted the antennal segments which, in fact, are 9-segmented. It is, of course, possible hat he never saw the relevant material, Haliday roviding him with the description, and that a pographical error occurred. We are certain that /. europus was described from specimen no. 225, a female glued on a card. The remaining ale and female, mounted together on a single ard (1226—1227), may have been subsequently collected by Haliday who provided them with a green-headed pin and a green label. It is possible that these two specimens are those which ap- pear in his catalogue as follows: europus ® ulex”. mecrida 3 “buchaetus 10 Evidently Haliday recognized 1. europus and I. mecrida to be synonymous, but this has yet to be confirmed. The type of J. mecrida has been found in the Vienna Museum (Vlug, 1973); ap- parently this was the specimen on which Foerster founded the genus Allotropa. The Hal- iday collection contains two specimens which closely fit the description of J. ocalea. The spe- cies appears to belong to the genus Metaclisis. Szelényi (1938) placed it in Parinostemma but this is now considered to be a synonym of Metaclisis (Masner, 1965, 1981). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We wish to offer our sincere thanks to Dr. J. P. O’Connor for his kind help and hospitality during the two periods the senior author has spent in Dublin, for the loan of the Haliday col- lection and for his critical reading of the manu- script. Thanks are also due to Dr. N. D. M. Fer- gusson and the staff of the BMNH for their support and loan of types, Dr. M. Fischer of the Vienna Museum for the loan of relevant materi- al, Dr. H. H. Evenhuis, Dr. L. Masner and Dr. L. Huggert for their useful comments and for reading the manuscript, the Uyttenboogaart- Eliasen Foundation and the staff of the Research Institute for Plantprotection for giving the se- nior author the opportunity to spend some weeks in Dublin and London, and Mr. C. van der Horst, Wageningen, for revising the English text.

Type locality: “Found near London.” Lectotype female (designated here), in NMI: “orcus”; “1052”; “Box 16”; det. and type labels (H. J. Vlug, 1982). The female no. 300 in NMI is a paralectotype. A male under this name, no. 299 in NMI has no type status because Walker only described a female. The pin of the lecto- type has a red head. Platygaster orus Walker Platygaster orus Walker, 1835: 254 (6 ©); Masner, 1965: 138 (type designation). Polygnotus orus (Walker), Vlug, 1973: 182. Type locality: “Common in June; near Lon- don.

Vlug, 1982). Two more females, nos. 312 and 1117 in NMI are paralectotypes. The nos. 1118 and 1119 in NMI belong to P. otanes but have no type status since they have the green pin heads and thus are of Irish origin. The specimens nos. 305—311 and 1116 in NMI under this name are different species. Platygaster pedasus Walker Platygaster pedasus Walker, 1835: 265, 266 (@); Masner, 1965: 138.

Stood in original Haliday collection under Platygaster myles”; det. and type labels (H. J. Vlug, 1982). Two more females, nos. 965 and 966 in NMI are par- alectotypes. No. 967 in NMI is of a different species. Synopeas (Sactogaster) osaces (Walker) Platygaster osaces Walker, 1835: 222, 223 (9). Sactogaster osaces (Walker); Foerster, 1856: 113, 114. Synopeas osaces (Walker), Fitton et al., 1978: 122. Type locality: “September; on grass in fields; near London. Found once in September on wil- lows at Holywood, in Ireland, by Mr. Haliday.” Lectotype female (designated here), in NMI: “ventr”; “13” (1813); “osaces” (green label, handwritten); “164; “Box 23. Stood in original Haliday collection under Platygaster osaces”; det. and type labels (H. J. Vlug, 1982). In spite of the fact that Walker collected more material from the surroundings of London, this Irish specimen is the only specimen which could be found in both BMNH and NMI. It fits the orig- inal description well. Synopeas rhanis (Walker) Platygaster rhanis Walker, 1835: 225, 226 (9). Synopeas rhanis (Walker); Marshall, 1873: 19; Mas- ner, 1965: 142. Lectotype female (designated here), in NMI: “191”; “Box 23”; “Stood in original Haliday collection under Platygaster rhanis”; det. and type labels (H. J. Vlug, 1982). One more female, 9.579 in BMNH is a paralectotype; this speci- men lacks the m etasoma. Synopeas sosis (Walker) Platygaster sosis Walker, 1835: 224, 225 (8 2). Synopeas sosis (Walker); Marshall, 1873: 19; Muese- beck & Walkley, 1956: 401; Masner, 1965: 142 (type designation). Platygaster sosis Walker; Vlug, 1973: 182. Type locality: “May to August; on grass in fields; near London. Found by Mr. Haliday on willows, at Holywood, in Ireland.” Lectotype male (designated by Masner, 1965), in BMNH: “Sosis Wk”; Platygaster sosis WIk”; and “Stood under this name in old BM collection (Rearranged 1928, J.W.”; “TYPE”; “Lectotype L.M.”; “selected as lectotype of Platygaster sosis Walker, 1835 male. By L. Masner, 13.XII.1965”; “B.M. TYPE HYM. 9.578”; “Synopeas sosis (Walk.) det. Huggert —77”. One more male in BMNH is paralecto- type. Most of the additional material in NMI is conspecific (nos. 186—190 and 968—972). Left antenna and left wings of the lectotype are mounted on a microslide and pinned on the same pin as the lectotype by L. Huggert. Synopeas (Sactogaster) tarsa (Walker) Platygaster tarsa Walker, 1835: 227, 228 (2). Synopeas tarsa (Walker); Marshall, 1873: 19. Sactogaster tarsa (Walker); Kieffer, 1926: 664. Synopeas (Sactogaster) tarsa (Walker); Kozlov, 1978: 647— 664. Type locality: “August; on grass in fields; near London.” Lectotype female (designated here), in NMI: Green label; “163”; “Box 23. Stood in original Haliday collection under Platygaster tarsa”; det. and type labels (H. J. Vlug, 1982). In spite of the green “Irish” label, I regard this specimen as the lectotype; the description fits accurately and this green label might eventually have been changed because of the four different pin holes in it. In addition, the method of mounting and of pinning the mounting card indicates that it might be a Walker specimen. Synopeas trebius (Walker) Platygaster trebius Walker, 1835: 231 (82). Synopeas trebius (Walker); Marshall, 1873: 19; Mas- ner, 1965: 143. Type locality: “Found near London.” Lectotype male (designated here), in NMI: “207”; “Box 23. Stood in original Haliday col- lection under Platygaster trebius”; det. and type labels (H. J. Vlug, 1982). One female, no. 208 in NMI is a paralectotype. The rest of the speci- mens in NMI, nos. 205, 206 and 209 and the VruG & DE V. GRAHAM: Types of Platygastridae 131 specimen in the BMNH 9.581 are different spe- cies. Synopeas velutinus (Walker) Platygaster velutinus Haliday, in Curus, 1830: folio 309 (second page) (? sex) (nomen nudum). Platygaster relutinus (sic!) Walker, 1835: 216 (32) (figs. 5, 6) (first description). Platygaster velutinus Walker, 1872: 536 (49) (2 figs.); Kieffer, 1914: plate 10, figs. 5, 6. There exists no actual description of this spe- cies. The name appeared for the first time in Curtis’ “British Entomology” of 1830, where it is headed under the section I: “Scutellum pro- duced or mucronated”; however, this cannot be adopted as a description. Later, Walker gives figures of both male and female antennae in his paper of 1835 (plate 12, figs. 5, 6). The species appears here under the name Platygaster reluti- nus, what seems to be a typographical error (a handwritten “vy” and “r” can be rather similar). Walker, in 1872, gives again the same figures of the antennae; here the species name is cited as Platygaster velutinus. In the Haliday collection | in NMI one Synopeas female was found, pro- vided with the name “velutinus”. It was mounted by Haliday and it stands above a label in Walker’s handwriting “velutinus”. There is no indication of provenance. Lectotype female (designated here), in NMI: “velutinus”; “430”; “Box 23. Stood in original Haliday collection under Platygaster velutinus”; det. and type la- bels (H. J. Vlug, 1982). Trichacis Foerster Trichacis didas (Walker) Platygaster didas Walker, 1835: 240 (SP).

Trichacis pisis (Walker); Muesebeck & Walkley, 1956: 404; Masner, 1965: 143. Type locality: “May and June; on grass in woods; near London.” Lectotype male (designated here), in NMI: “256”; “Box 23. Stood in original Haliday col- lection under Platygaster pisis”; det. and type labels (H. J. Vlug, 1982). One male, no. 259 and one female, no. 258 in NMI are paralectotypes. Nos. 1070 and 1071 in NMI have no type status (Irish origin). The nos. 257 in NMI and 9.613 in BMNH are different species. Trichacis remulus (Walker) Platygaster remulus Walker, 1835: 239, 240 (3 2). Trichacis remulus (Walker); Foerster, 1856: 115. Trichasis (sic!) remulus (Walker); Walker, 1872: 540. Trichacis remulus (Walker); Muesebeck & Walkley, 1956: 404; Masner, 1965: 143.

Type locality: “Found by Mr. Haliday, in September, at Holywood, near Belfast, Ire- land.” Lectotype female (designated here), in NMI: “boter”; “1202”; “Box 16”; det. and type labels (H.J. Vlug, 1982). One female and one male in NMI, respectively nos. 1200 and 1201, are para- lectotypes. No. 1199 is mounted in quite a dif- ferent way and is thus not considered to be a paralectotype.

Type locality: “Found by Mr. Haliday, at Holywood, near Belfast, Ireland.” Because Kieffer (1914) combined both the description of Inostemma favo and Inostemma boter, he con- cluded that Walker described a male as well as a female. In fact, only a female was described by Walker. Lectotype female (designated here), in NMI: “1182”; “Box 16”;,det. and type labels (H.J. Vlug, 1982). Three females in NMI, nos. 1180, 1181 and 1186 are paralectotypes. Four females in NMI, nos. 1174—1177, glued together on one card, are not considered paralectotypes be- cause they bear a label “39”, which means 1839. These specimens are therefore of later date. The female no. 1179 in NMI also has no type status because it is English (red pin head). Inostemma hispo Walker, nomen dubium Inostemma hispo Walker, 1838: 453, 454 (@).

Two females are glued to- gether on one card: nos. 1223 and 1224; the right female, no. 1224, has been chosen as lecto- type. Four males and ten females in NMI are paralectotypes (nos. 1121, 1210, 1211 and 1213—1223). The female in the Vienna Museum (Vlug, 1973) is considered to be a paralectotype.

The mounting card is provided with two females of which one is mounted on its side, close to the pin, missing head and metasoma; this female is a paralecto- type. The other female, far removed from the pin, is mounted on its back and is designated as the lectotype. These females are obviously mounted by Haliday whereas the description is from Walker. Nevertheless, these specimens could have been caught and/or mounted by 134 Haliday although the type locality is near Lon- don. The lectotype exactly fits the description. REFERENCES Bazin, M.

VAN ACHTERBERG Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, The Netherlands ABSTRACT The genera of the Braconini with the 1ste and 2nd tergites immovably joined are keyed and illustrated. Four new genera are described: Apotosoma (type-species: À. latimarginale sp. nov.), Aspidobracon (type-species: A. pierrei sp. nov.), Hyboteles (type-species: H. toxopeusi sp. nov.), and Pedinopleura (type-species: P. emarginata sp. nov.). In addition to the four new type-species, three new species are described: Apotosoma melateles sp. nov., Aspidobracon hesperivorus sp. nov., and A. noyesi sp. nov. A lectotype is designated for Physaraia furcata (Guérin-Méneville, 1848). The genera are divided into two new sub- tribes: the Physaraiina (based on the genus Physaraia Shenefelt), and the Aspidobraconina (based on the genus Aspidobracon nov.) INTRODUCTION During my visit to the Paris Museum in 1979 I received a vial with specimens belonging to a genus unknown to me, reared by Mr. Jacques Pierre from Acraea cepheus (L.) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Acraeinae) on Caloncoba wel- witschu Gilg. (Flacourtiaceae) and supposed to be infesting the egg-stage of the host. However, the vial contained no traces of eggs, only a chrysalis of the butterfly with a hole in it, and several cocoons of the parasites. Considering this, as well the size of the adult parasite (2.7-3 | mm) and of the eggs of the host (1—1.5 mm by 10.5 mm), it is certainly not an egg-parasite. There remains the possibility that the eggs were \ infested, and that the embryo of the parasite re- | mained dormant till the larva of the host was | large enough for complete development of the parasite. However, this would indicate that it is an endoparasite, a feature unknown up to now \ in the Braconinae. For the moment it is most \ likely that the host reared from the egg-stage \ (Mr. Pierre, in litt.) was infested in the larval or | pupal stage and that the gregarious parasite-lar- |vae live as parasite in the host-chrysalis. The \emergence from the pupa of the host is an ex- \ceptional feature in the Braconinae. All other | genera of Braconinae are (as far known) ectopa- \rasitic on holometabolous larvae. In this paper the genus Aspidobracon is described to include {this species, together with other taxa in the Bra- | | conini possessing the peculiar feature of the im- movably joined 1st and 2nd tergites. For the terminology used in this paper, see Van Achterberg, 1979: 242-249; the term “thyloid” (not mentioned in that paper) is used for the elongate sensillae on the antennal seg- ments (figs. 2, 16, 136), and for the term “sub- ocular groove”, see fig. 72. PHYLOGENY The group of genera treated in this paper be- longs to the tribe Braconini Stephens of the Bra- coninae, defined by the robust scapus, which is truncate apically and ventrally as long as dorsal- ly or somewhat shorter (in lateral view) (figs. 12, 45, 111, 137) and by vein 1r-m of hind wing shorter than vein SC+R1 (figs. 3, 30, 114, 138). The genera of the Braconini with 1st and 2nd tergites immovably joined (figs. 1, 41, 135) share a strong and complete medio-longitudinal carina on the propodeum (figs. 117, 147, but ab- sent (secondarily lost?) in Physaraia), and meso- scutum regularly and (rather) densely setose. These features are also present in the Plesiobra- con group as defined by Van Achterberg (1983: 185). Especially the Afrotropical genus Carini- bracon Van Achterberg, 1983, resembles the genera treated in this paper. It has the 6th ter- gite sculptured, and it shares the strong dorsal carinae of the Ist tergite with several genera. Different are the movably joined 1ste and 2nd 137 138 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 7, 1984 tergites, the wide obtuse lobe of the tarsal claws, and the minute medio-basal area of the 2nd ter- gite. Both other genera of the Plesiobracon group differ by the smooth 6th tergite. The ge- nus Kenema Van Achterberg, 1983, differs also by the robust 2nd submarginal cell of the fore wing (but shares with Physaraia the medial cari- na on the mesoscutum and the sculpture of the head and mesoscutum). The genus Plesiobracon Cameron, 1903, differs by the shape of the claws, of the 4th tergite, and by the sculpture of the metasoma. The genera treated in this paper fall into two distinct groups: the Physaraiina (subtribus nov., containing only Physaraia Shenefelt, 1978) and the Aspidobraconina (subtribus nov., based on Aspidobracon gen. nov., and including six more Table 1.

The Physaraiina differ by six apomor- phous character-states from the Aspidobraconi-« na: i) the reduction of the metasomal sutures, ii) 3rd tergite forked posteriorly, 11) 4th-6th ter- gites completely retracted, iv) lateral margin of © 2nd and 3rd tergites slanted inwards, v) clypeus with dorsal carina, vi) mesoscutum with medial carina more or less developed. Except for the immovably joined 1st and 2nd tergites, and the. medial carina of the metanotum, scarcely any synapomorphous character-states united the Physaraiina with the Aspidobraconina; this makes it uncertain if they are sister-groups, as depicted in fig. 153.

The other group (including Aspidobra- con gen. nov. and two other genera) has these three characters in the plesiomorphous state (except Eutropobracon, which has a virtually smooth mesosternal suture) and is provisional because of the lack of synapomorphies. All three genera of this group occur in the Oriental Region, with additional species in the Afrotrop- ical Region and Japan.

GUSTAFSSON. — New species of Stigmella from The Gambia (Lepidoptera, Nepticulidae), pp. 165—177, figs. 1—7. es Ik Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, deel 127, afl. 8 Gepubliceerd 14-VI-1985 NEW SPECIES OF STIGMELLA FROM THE GAMBIA (LEPIDOPTERA, NEPTICULIDAE) BERT GUSTAFSSON Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT Descriptions or redescriptions of adults and immature stages of the following Nepticuli- dae are presented: Stigmella rhomboivora n. sp., S. allophylivora n. sp., S. ficivora n. sp., S. ziziphivora n. sp., S. birgittae n. sp., S. maytenivora n. sp. and S. wollofella (Gustafsson, 1972). INTRODUCTION The Nepticulidae on which the present paper is based were collected by me in The Gambia from 3—15 November 1981 and 30 Novem- ber—13 December 1982. The visits were con- fined to the western part of The Gambia, mainly the surroundings of Bakau and Banjul. Hitherto only three species of Nepticulidae had been de- scribed from The Gambia (Gustafsson, 1972). _ They were all collected in a searchlight on the ship MS “Lady Wright” on 5 December 1970. _ The terminology used in the descriptions _ mainly conforms with Scoble (1983) (adults) | and Gustafsson (1981) (larvae). The descrip- tions of larvae refer to the final instar. Generic | characters are mentioned in the generic descrip- tion only. Stigmella Schrank, 1802 Diagnosis. — Stigmella can be distinguished from Trifurcula and Ectoedemia by the absence | of signa reticulata in the bursa, the absence of a scale patch on the underside of the hindwing in the males (Trifurcula), and by the rectangularly shaped epistomal ridge in the larvae. Description. Adult. — Very small moths with a wingspan of 3—5.3 mm. Head. — Palps shining, yellowish grey. An- tennae more than half length of forewing, scape expanded into a large eyecap. Tuft on front of head and vertex. A collar attached to the back of the head. Wings. — Forewings roughly scaled, some- times with a shining, postmedial fascia. Cilia distinctly or indistinctly separated by a row of darker scales. Hindwing narrow, grey with grey fringe. Abdomen. — Pale ventrally. Male with anal tufts on eighth tergite. Male genitalia. — Tegumen and vinculum of variable form. Uncus bilobed. Gnathos with a pair of lateral processes, the horizontal element sometimes with a tongue-shaped projection. Valvae of variable shape. Transtilla present, ventral arms present or absent. Juxta present or absent. Aedeagus well sclerotized. Vesica with cornuti of various shape. Female genitalia. — Bursa copulatrix with or without pectinations, signum present or absent. Apophyses relatively short. Larva. — Head prognathous, partially re- tracted into thorax with heavily sclerotized en- do-skeletal ridges. Epistomal ridge rectangular. Anterior and posterior tentorial arms of same length. Labial palpi consisting of two short seg- ments provided with a long seta in the apical area. Prothorax with a broad ventral sclerite and a paired dorsal sclerite. Abdomen without pig- mentation. A spinose integument of various ex- tent present or absent. Prothorax with 13 pairs of setae, mesothorax with 11 pairs, abdominal segments 1—8 with 6 pairs, 9 with 3 pairs and 10 with 2 pairs of setae. In the anal end a pair of strongly sclerotized, small bands. Calli (ambu- latory warts) well defined on meso- and meta- thorax, as well as on abdominal segments 2—7. Distribution. — It is likely that the present species are confined to the western part of Afri- ca, but future investigations will prove. 166 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 8, 1984 (1985) Fig. 1.

Diagnosis. — Deviates from the related allo- phylica Scoble, 1978, in the male genitalia, espe- cially in the aedeagus. The vesica of allophylivo- ra is marked with large and strongly sclerotized teeth, so as in contrast to the inconspicuous ring of denticles in allophylica. Description. Male. — Wing expanse 4.4—4.6 mm. Thorax and forewing dark greyish fuscous, with bronze and a few purple reflections, fringe dark grey- ish. Antennae greyish brown, eye-caps yellow- ish white, tuft on front of head and vertex orange-yellow, collar shining yellowish.

KEYS TO SPECIES, REDESCRIPTIONS, SYNONYMY by H.J. VLUG Instituut voor Plantenziektenkundig Onderzoek, Binnenhaven 12, Wageningen, The Netherlands ABSTRACT Keys are given for 97 Palaearctic species of Platygastrinae, described by Haliday and Walker. They comprise the genera Platygaster, Synopeas, Piestopleura, Leptacis, Trichacis, Isocybus and Amblyaspis. Descriptions and illustrations of the type-specimens are provided, mainly based on the lectotypes selected earlier. The following synonymies are proposed: Platygaster olorus Walker, 1835 = P. cebes Walker, 1835; P. cratinus Walker, 1835 = P. cebes Walker, 1835; P. (Urocyclops) ilione Walker, 1835 = P. (Urocyclops) vaenia Walker, 1835; P. longiven- tris Thomson, 1859 = P. gyge Walker, 1835; P. ruborum (Kieffer, 1916) = P. pelias Walker, 1835; P. evadne Walker, 1835 = P. attenuata Walker, 1835; P. cleodaeus Walker, 1835 = P. abisares Walker, 1835; Synopeas mamertes Kieffer, 1926 = S. craterus (Walker, 1835); S. acco (Walker, 1835) = S. rhanis (Walker, 1835); Leptacis | torispinula Huggert, 1980 = L. nydia (Walker, 1835); Amblyaspis furius (Walker, 1835) = A. scelionoides (Hal- | iday, 1835). INTRODUCTION For a general introduction on the types of Platygastridae, described by Haliday and Walker I may refer to the paper by Vlug & Graham (1984). In the present paper the types are keyed out and brief redescriptions and figures are given for the species of the subfamily Platygastrinae, comprising the genera Platygaster, Synopeas, Piestopleura, Leptacis, Trichacis, Isocybus and Amblyaspis. For a better understanding of this group it is necessary for future workers to consult types. This key is merely an attempt to provide some detailed information about the species and to give a tool for type demands. The figures are kept rather simple and give a general view of the head, antennae and meta- soma to support and amplify the descriptions. For the terms of the microsculpture, used in the key, I refer to the paper by Eady (1968). It has been shown that many species which occur in Great Britain and Ireland are not represented in continental North-Western Europe. They are not well represented in the author’s collection. Therefore the descriptions and keys are mainly based on the lectotypes in the National Museum of Ireland (NMI) and the British Museum (Natural History) (BMNH). Where possible, the distribu- tion and hosts are mentioned. Notes on synonymy are given in the keys under the heading “Re- marks”. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks are due to Dr. J. P. O’Connor (Dublin, Ireland), Dr. L. Masner (Ottawa, Canada), Dr. M. W. R. de Vere Graham (Oxford, Great Britain) and Dr. L. Huggert (Lund, Sweden) for their useful criticism and to Mr. C. van der Horst (Wageningen, Netherlands) for revising the English text. Platygaster Latreille 1.

Coxae black, trochantera reddish, all femora proximally reddish, distally darkened; all tibiae dark brown, proximally and distally lighter; tarsi red. Length female 2.0 mm (figs. 13a—13c). Remarks. — P. (Urocyclops) ilione Walker, 1835, differs from P. (U.) vaenia by the follow- ing characters: OOL : POL: LOL = 6: 10: 4. Notauli less deep than in P. vaenia. Tro- chantera darker than in P. vaenia; fore tibiae to a greater extent lighter than in P. vaenia. Length male 1.1 mm (figs. 14a—14c). P. ilione represents the male of P. vaenia and may be considered a synonym (syn. nov.). Platygaster vaenia belongs in the subgenus Urocyclops Maneval. Recent material of this subgenus was reared in large quantities for the first time from the gallmidge Procystiphora gerardi Meyer on Juncus gerardu Lois, by Dr. H. Meyer, Kiel, Germany, and kindly placed at my disposal. Detailed studies and comparison of the specimens with the material mentioned by Huggert (1974) may solve the problems of syno- nymy associated with these highly polymorphic taxa. — -Mesoseutum with.sculpture .. lie lan a RRR AR ak fe ee ER 14 14.

Platygaster filicornis may prove to be the male of P. cochleatus, but considering the shape of the head, this is not certain. Rearing may prove the conspecificity of both species, but until then I con- sider them to be two separate species. — Head 2.4 times as broad as long; OOL : POL : LOL = 6: 13 : 7; head entirely but faintly re- aa INI vestinus Walker, 1835 Occipital carina traceable.

Length female 1.5 mm (figs. 27a—27c). Remarks. — Both Platygaster athamas and P. euhemerus seem to be rather variable, even in morphological characters, such as the structure of the midlobe of the mesoscutum, the de- pressions of the scutellum and the striation of T2. A good character seems to be the micros- culpture on the propodeum between the carinae: P. euhemerus has distinct transverse carinae here, somewhat stronger in females than in males. P. athamas was reared from Bayeria capi- tigena Br. on Euphorbia esula L. (“The Netherlands, Wessum, August 1971, leg. Vlug”) and Rhabdophaga terminalis H. Loew on Salix alba L. (“The Netherlands, Brandwijk, July 1973, leg. Vlug”). The specimens from R. terminalis are larger than those from B. capitigena. Other reared material of this species is from Wachtliella rosarum Hardy on Rosa sp. (“The Nether- lands, Cuyk, September 1973, leg. Vlug”).

Remarks. — I have reared series of P. pelias from Lasioptera rubi Heeg. on Rubus sp. col- lected in Bitsche, France, the type locality of Platygaster ruborum Kieffer, 1916 (sensu Hug- gert, 1973). P. pelias is identical with P. ruborum (syn. nov.). P. demades, P. orcus and P. pelias are strikingly similar but differ from each other by characters mentioned in the key and by different measurements. The similarity may eventually result in synonymy after detailed study of long series of reared material. Different hosts may affect the size and other charac- ters of specimens. Until further study has been undertaken, I prefer to maintain these three taxa. 384 Notauliabsent or only evident at their extreme posterionpart A PF EEn 39 == ANotulicompleteornearly so ke, ene oenen en NN 41 39.

Only superficial characters separate these species. The differences are mainly found in the form of the antennal segments and colour differences of antennae and legs. There seems to be no good reason to treat them as separate species. However, until I have seen more material of this ge- nus, I prefer to maintain the present situation. The material in my collection is far too poor to say anything about variation. There seems to be a tendency that northern specimens (Sweden, Norway and Denmark) have hyaline wings, whereas some of my specimens from Italy, Yougoslavia and Southern France have infuscate wings. 1.

DIAKONOFF Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, Netherlands S. A. ULENBERG Plantenziektenkundige Dienst, Wageningen, Netherlands L. VÁRI Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, Republic of South Africa ABSTRACT A description is presented of Phlebozemia sandrinae Diakonoff, gen. et sp. nov. (Tortri- cidae, Archipini), a tortricid introduced with plant material from Southern Africa, having caused injury to bulbs, leaves and flowers of Nerine bowdenii, a garden flower, grown in glasshouses in the Netherlands. Bionomics, especially host plant acceptance, were studied at the Plantenziektenkundige Dienst, Wageningen, by providing various plant species of Amaryllidaceae to the insects for oviposition. It was shown that the species is not mono- phagous. The reared material of the insect was compared with authentic Southern African material at the Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, South Africa, and the species proved to occur in that country. INTRODUCTION Severe damage was caused to Nerine bowde- nu Watson, grown in a nursery’s glasshouse in the Netherlands in September, 1983. The dam- age consisted of excavated bulbs and escapes and partly injured flowers (figs. 19—21). À sample of the affected material was sent to the second author for identification of the in- sect. The rest of the plants was destroyed and adequate control measures were taken in the glasshouse. The damage appeared to be caused by an unknown tortricid. Nerine belongs to the plant family Amarylli- daceae and is endemic in South Africa. Since the _XVIIthe century, Nerine is a popular garden flower in Europe, with Nerine sarniensis (L.) Herbert, the Guernsey Lily, as the most popu- | lar species in England, and for years exclusively cultivated in Guernsey. In other countries of Europe a large number of varieties have been developed from several other Nerine species, es- pecially from Nerine bowdenii Watson. This species became highly valued in gardens for their showy, late-autumn flowers and as nurs- ery stock for the production of cut flowers (Van Brenk, 1980). BIONOMICS In order to obtain material for taxonomic study and get information on the developmental cycle, the host plant acceptance, and the feeding hab- its, rearing experiments of the tortricid were carried out by the second author. Three genera- tions were reared indoors on Nerine bowdenii at a temperature of 18 °C. These cultures pro- vided the following observations. The moths oviposited upon leaves and flower buds. The larvae started as miners. The later instar larvae bored into bulbs and scapes or fed on leaves which were partly folded lengthwise by web- bing, in a way characteristic for Tortricidae. The following lengths of the different devel- opment stages were recorded: egg 10—13 days, larva 19 days, pupa 23 days. The longevity of the individual moths has not been recorded; on average the flying period of the different gener- 225 226 ations was three to four weeks. To determine host plant acceptance, two tests were carried out. In the first test, Narcissus cyclamineus de Candolle ex Redouté was presented as food plant to first instar larvae of the third genera- tion, reared on Nerine bowdenu. The larvae ac- cepted Narcissus as food plant, developed fully on it, pupated and hatched. In the second test ovipositing female moths were given the choice between Nerine bowdenii and several other Amaryllidaceae, viz., Crinum powelli Henderson, Hippeastrum Herbert, Hy- menocallis (X) cv. “Festalis” Hort.!) and Spre- kelia formosissima (L.) Herbert. Eggs were de- posited on all five plant species. Larvae devel- oped on Hippeastrum, Hymenocallis and Spre- kelia, but not on Crinum. Unfortunately, most egg masses of the fourth generation on Nerine bowdenu dried out. Si- multaneously, the first instar larvae on Hippeas- trum, Hymenocallis and Sprekelia died, proba- bly because of extreme temperatures, caused by an error with the heating system in the glass- house where the tests werc carried out. By this abrupt ending of the tests we are not able to say anything about the suitability of the three last mentioned Amaryllidaceae as food plants for this tortricid. However, by the host acceptance, shown by the oviposition behaviour, the full de- velopment of the larvae on Narcissus and the initial development of the first instar larvae on Hippeastrum, Hymenocallis and Sprekelia, it is suggested that the tortricid in question is poly- phagous. THE INSECT A preliminary study by the first author of the bred material of the insect revealed that the sur- mise of its origin must be correct, for it could at once be identified as a member of the large Epi- choristodes Diakonoff group of the Archipini (a tribe of the subfamily Tortricinae), that is en- demic to the Afrotropical Region and Madagas- car, a group widely distributed by several, rath- er uniform, closely interrelated and often exten- sive genera (Diakonoff, 1960). The present species, however, proved to belong to an appar- ently undescribed distinct genus and species. In order to corroborate this preliminary iden- tification, the third author of this paper under- took the comparison of our material with the TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 10, 1984 (1985) authentic Southern African material in the Transvaal Museum at Pretoria. Judging from external characters, it appeared that the present species resembled “Epichorista” geraeas Mey- rick closely, but internally differed entirely by the genital characters and especially the wing neuration, an important criterion, as will be ex- plained in the description below. Besides, he was fortunate to find in the Transvaal Museum collection several male and female specimens of a quite similarly looking, but unnamed species, that showed to be identical with our material of the Nerine pest, proving indeed that it is a na- tive of Southern Africa. After having received this information, the first author could proceed with the description of the new genus and spe- cies. Phlebozemia Diakonoff gen. nov.

Valva small, hyaline, with an un- usually robust and darkly sclerotic basal edge, swollen, constricted below middle; pulvinus proper hyaline, small, with short hairs; sacculus sclerotic, dilated and rounded-prominent in middle; inner rim darkly sclerotic. Aedeagus gradually curved, flattened dorso-ventrally at top; cornutus one, a straight and long, slender spine. Female genitalia. Lobus analis oblong and slender, triangularly dilated towards top. Ninth segment darkly sclerotic. Apophyses slender and long, postapophyses very long, hyaline, basal furca unusually long. Sterigma transverse- ly oval, moderate, highly sclerotic, with an oval large central orifice, lower rim darkly sclerotic throughout. Colliculum short, cup-shaped, slight lateral structures above end. Ductus bursae hyaline above, simple throughout, ductus bullae from end of hyaline part, corpus bullae moderate. Corpus bursae simple, without signa. Type-species: Phlebozemia sandrinae spec. nov. An interesting novel form, externally rather similar to Epichoristodes Diakonoff, 1960, but at once recognisable by the absence of vein 4 in both fore and hind wings. The superficially very similar “Epichorista” geraeas Meyrick differs besides, by shorter labial palpi with especially the terminal segment being shorter, more point- ed and drooping; furthermore, by small, almost parietal socii and by an intricate combination of diversely shaped cornuti, while P. sandrinae has only one simple cornutus, etc. The genus belongs to the tribe Archipini and, within it, it may be placed into the large Epicho- ristodes Diakonoff group of genera, with the following synapomorphies. Valva semioval, submembraneous, with radial wrinkles, a sclerotic sacculus, slender or dilated in middle; dorsal edge of valva more or less scle- rotic, with labis. Transtilla narrow. Sterigma with a large, transversely-oval ostium and a moderate, sclerotic colliculum. The genus Phlebozemia has the following autapomorphies: The loss of vein 4 in both the fore and hind wing, strongly sclerotic entire basal edge of valva (with a crown-shaped, den- tate labis). Strongly sclerotic, in middle well di- lated sacculus, and a short, semioval disc of val- va. Gradually curved aedeagus. Ductus bursae with a short, cup-shaped colliculum, below this hyaline for a stretch. Absence of signum When compared with Epichoristodes, espe- cially the neuration, but also the unusually ex- tended sclerotization of the basal edge of the valva are distinct autapomorphies of the genus 228 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 10, 1984 (1985) Je £ - _ | _ - _ ST ll. nn ; 4 i i i 1 3 Figs. 2,3.

With 35 species and subspecies, Nephrotoma is the largest tipulid genus in Japan (table 1). Five taxa are described here for the first time, in addition to the three new species described _by Tangelder (1984). The sequence in which the species are discussed and their distribution is given in table 3. A number of species are treated in detail elsewhere (Oosterbroek, 1978—1980: western Palaearctic species; Tangelder, 1984: Table 1.

The total number of Tipulidae known to oc- cur in Japan is 188. They belong to 31 of the in total 43 Palaearctic (sub)genera (tables 1 and 2). It is estimated that the total number of Japanese Tipulidae lies around 230. A historic review on the study of the Japanese tipulids is given by Al- exander (1953b). Catalogues are published by Masaki (1933a) and Ishida (1955—1961, 1965). About half the Japanese species of Nephrotoma are treated in detail, based on material exam- ined, in Savchenko’s revision of the Palaearctic Tipulidae (part 5, 1973, in Russian, under the now suppressed name Pales Meigen, 1800). THE GENUS NEPHROTOMA Nephrotoma is a large genus, with at present over 400 recognized species and subspecies. It has a world-wide distribution but is especially rich in species in the Holarctic, Oriental and Afrotropical Regions (Oosterbroek & Schuck- ard, 1976). The species of Nephrotoma can be found in many different landscapes of the world (pine-, deciduous-, mixed-, rain- and monsoon-forests, meadows, steppes, savannas and even tundras as far north as 82°30’), but in general they prefer the temperate climates, which allow the devel- opment of deciduous forests and where edges of woods, meadows and banks of streams form the most favourable habitats. The larvae are usually found in soils rich in humus. In some species they gnaw at the roots of cultivated plants, now and then causing dam- age to oats, rye, sugarbeets, flax, cabbage and coniferous seedlings. For northern Japan dam- age to sugarbeets by larvae of minuticornis (lo- cally known as the Ao-hoso-gaganbo, sugarbeet crane-fly) is reported by Kuwayama (1926) and Shiraki (1952), though considered by Alexander (1953d) of minor economic importance. Very few information is available about the biology of the species. Masaki (1933b) dis- cusses, under the name virgata, the biology and all life stages of a species of the dorsalis group. For a few species more detailed information is available from the continent (Oosterbroek, Schuckard & Theowald, 1976; Oosterbroek, 1978—1980; Savchenko, 1973). CHARACTERS (figs. 1—5) Nephrotoma specimens are usually yellow with dark yellow to black markings on head, thorax and abdomen. Very characteristic are the three broad longitudinal stripes on scutum one and the two such stripes on scutum two. A few species are almost entirely yellow, in others the yellow ground-colour is almost or completely superseded by dark brown or black. . Apart from coloration, Nephrotoma is char- acterized by the wing venation (fig. 2): vein Rs is very short and vein CUAI, or, if present, cross-vein m-cu, meets vein M before or at the anterior corner of the discal cell. Especially the male copulatory organs (fig. 3) provide important characters for the identifica- tion of species and for phylogenetic analysis. Most of the characters necessary to identify spe- cies are visible from the outside. The female ovi- positor (figs. 4, 5) also possesses many charac- ters and in some instances they are the only reli- able clue to separate females of closely related species. However, in dry specimens most of the ovipository characters can not be examined. During copulation the female hypovalvae en- ter the dorsal part of the hypopygium. They are kept in position by the embrace of the inner and outer dististyles and the ventrally excavated ex- tension of the ninth tergite. The cerci of the fe- male remain outside the hypopygium, but close- ly adjusted to the ninth and/or eighth sternites of the male. Depending on the species groups, these sternites show a great variety of shapes, hair- or bristle-tufts, and appendages to guide the cerci. The same applies to the extension of the male tergite nine and the inner and outer dististyles with respect to the hypovalvae. Apart from guiding, practically all the external copula- tory organs are equiped with sensory spines, bristles, bristle-like hairs, etc. The fused valvulae and the furca are two scle- rotized plates situated between the cerci and the Table 3.

The position of the male intromittent organ is „secured during copulation by the adminiculum itself, and by its lateral appendages, the gonapo- physes. The intromittent organ is usually a thin tube, running from the semen pump in the di- rection of the thorax and with a downward loop back to the adminiculum. Its length varies from about 2 mm to about 40 mm (in N. helvetica with the intromittent organ spirally coiled in- side the abdomen) and the part towards the ad- miniculum can show various modifications (bi- partite, tripartite, with a serrate membrane or a robust spine), usually characteristic for the spe- cies group. 240 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 11, 1984 (1985) MATERIAL This study is based on material preserved in the following institutions and, except for ZMA, received on loan: ASL Academy of Sciences, Zoological Insutute, Leningrad, USSR BM(NH) British Museum (Natural Histo- ry), London, Great Britain IPSFK Institut für Pflanzenschutzfor- schung Kleinmachnow, Ebers- walde, East Germany KU Kyushu University, Kyushu, Ja- pan KURU Kurume University, Kyushu, Ja- pan MAK Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, West Germany RMNH Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, the Netherlands UKaL University of Kansas, Lawrence, USA USNM United States National Museum, Washington DC, USA USNMA United States National Museum, Washington DC, USA, C.

Nephrotoma aculeata; Oosterbroek, 1978: 61—68 (species revision). Nephrotoma aculeata atricauda Alexander, 1924: 599. Material examined. — From Japan: 16, Honshu, Nagano, 3.vii.1943 (USNMA). Characteristics. — N. aculeata belongs to the cornicina subgroup (Oosterbroek, 1980), the species of which possess a mid-posterior ap- pendage on the semen pump (Oosterbroek, 1980, fig. 18), have the outer dististyle partly sclerotized (figs. 10, 11), and the male sternite 8 with an elongate appendage, very slender and acute in aculeata (fig. 10), and the female cerci pointed (figs. 6, 7). N. aculeata is closely related to N. tenuipes (not Japanese), saghaliensis and cornicina. In cornicina the outcurved anterior part of the lateral scutum one stripe is dull, in the other three species it is shining and in acu- leata usually isolated from the stripe. Moreover, tenuipes and usually also saghaliensis possess numerous macrotrichia in the apical wingcells. N. saghaliensis is furthermore characterized by the small occipital marking, the peculiar shaped appendage of the male sternite 8 (fig. 9), the short outer dististyle (fig. 8), and the abbre- viated hypovalvae (fig. 6), whereas the other three species possess more elongate hypovalvae (fig. 7). Distribution and period of flight. — N. acu- leata is distributed throughout the Palaearctic from the British Isles to Sakhalin and Kamchat- ka. Adults are on the wing from early June to early September. During this study only 14 from Japan, Honshu, was examined (see below). Discussion. — The type-material of aculeata atricauda Alexander, 1924 (18 holotype, 14 12 paratype, all from Sakhalin, Toyohara = Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk) was examined by the pre- sent author in 1982 (USNMA). This has con- firmed the opinion of Savchenko (1973: 132) that atricauda should not be considered a sepa- rate subspecies because all the characters men- tioned by Alexander fall within the variability of aculeata. The species is reported by Ishida (1965) from Hokkaido, Honshu and Shikoku under the name aculeata atricauda. In spite of the fact that during this study many Nephroto- ma material from these islands was examined, only one aculeata male from Honshu was found. For the moment, therefore, it remains questionable whether the species occurs on Hokkaido and Shikoku as well. Nephrotoma cornicina (Linnaeus, 1758) (fig. 11) Tipula cornicina Linnaeus, 1758: 586.

Characteristics. — See under aculeata, male hypopygium as in fig. 11. Distribution and period of flight. — Wide- spread throughout the Palaearctic from the Brit- ish Isles and Spain to Sakhalin and the islands bordering Kamchatka, in China as far South as Shanghai. Known from the Japanese islands Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku (Tokushima; Ehime), Kyushu and Tsushima. The period of flight in Japan is from mid-May until the end of August.

Characteristics. — Belongs to the cornicina subgroup (semen pump with a midposterior ap- pendage, outer dististyle partly sclerotized, hind margin of male sternite 8 with a midventral ap- pendage). N. esakii can easily be recognized by coloration (see key), the males by the peculiar shaped midventral appendage of sternite 8 (figs. 12, 16), and the females by the very short ovipo- sitor (fig. 13).

The colora- tion, however, is very different from the yellowish parvirostra. The occipital marking is large and of a characteristic shape (fig. 21), the thorax ıs variegated with large dark brown to black markings, the abdominal tergites 2—5 possess large triangular markings on the poste- rior two-thirds and the segments 6—8 (9) are blackened. The wings are brownish with espe- cially in the females the apex broadly clouded. Distribution and period of flight. — Known from Honshu, Shikoku (Alexander, 1953c: Mt Tsurugi), Tsushima, South Korea and southern Primorye (Savchenko, 1981: Kedrova Pad).

Outside Japan this char- acter is also found in the closely related species relicta (see discussion). Distribution and period of flight. — Material has been examined from Kunashir, Shikotan, Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu, Tsushima, North and South Korea and China (W. Hupeh). Sav- chenko, and co-authors, in addition report Amur-Zea interregion, southern Sakhalin, and China, Mao-erh-shan (sub parvirostra) and southern Khabarovskiy kray and southern Pri- morye (sub serristyla). Early and late records OOSTERBROEK: Nephrotoma of Japan 251 are May 23, June 11 and October 25; all other records are between mid-July and mid-Septem- ber with a distinct peak at the end of August. Discussion. — Savchenko (1973) recognizes three subspecies of parvirostra, the nominal form, serristyla Alexander (1935), and relicta Savchenko (1973). Examination of type-materi- al revealed that serristyla is synonymous with parvirostra. The differences are limited to the coloration of the antennae and thorax and, as such, found among specimens throughout the distribution range, apparently due to variation. Specimens of relicta have the anterior beak of the inner dististyle short (fig. 37), and the outer dististyle apically lengthened (fig. 36). Material of relicta was examined from North Korea (Ompo, situated a few miles inland from the coast just south of 42° N), Mongolia (80 km SE Semon Chalchingol), China (Mao-erh-shan; Li- chuan; Mt Omei) and USSR (near Irkutsk, syn- type d, ASL). Material of parvirostra was ex- amined from a number of these localities or re- gions as well. Because of the large area of sympatry, relicta is best considered a species instead of subspecies. Savchenko (1973) reports relicta from the Leningradskaya oblast, Krasnoyarskiy kray (Mina) and the Irkutskaya oblast.

Distribution and period of flight. — Known from Shikotan and Honshu only. Records are from July 17 to August 20. Nephrotoma vana spec. nov. (figs. 59— 63) Introduction. — In the literature some confu- sion exists about the synonymy of sublamellata Alexander, 1935, and lamellata (Riedel, 1910). Examination of the male holotype of the former (USNMA) revealed that sublamellata is at most a subspecies of lamellata, differing in the shape of the lateral appendage of the adminiculum on- ly, and replacing lamellata in southern Primo- rye, Sakhalin and North Korea. Examination of specimens from the Kurile and Japan showed that this material belongs to two other species, closely related to lamellata. They are ozenu- mensis Alexander, 1925, known from Shikotan and Honshu; and vana nov. spec., divided here into two subspecies, the nominal form from Ku- nashir and Hokkaido, and the subspecies nigro- vana from Honshu and Kyushu. Characteristics. — The species lamellata, ozenumensis and vana do not differ in colora- tion, except for the darker coloured subspecies nigrovana (see descriptions of vana vana and vana nigrovana). The differences are limited to hypopygial characters as follows: lamellata: gonapophyses of the adminiculum with an acute upright projection (fig. 64); in the subspecies sxblamellata the downcurved poste- rior arm is notably shorter; ozenumensis: gonapophyses of the adminicu- lum without an acute upright projection and posterior arm not downcurved (fig. 66); in both lamellata and ozenumensis the dorsal margin of the appendage is serrate; outer dististyle sinuate with the apical part very slender and elongate (fig. 65); vana: gonapophyses of the adminiculum more straight and with the dorsal margin not serrate (fig. 62); outer dististyle less sinuate (fig. 63); lateral shells of the extension of tergite 9 in dorsal view largely concealed by the above-ly- ing flanges (fig. 61), in lamellata and ozenumen- sis these flanges are less developed (fig. 67); vana nigrovana differs from the nominal sub- species in coloration only: the thorax is almost entirely darkened, the scutal stripes are broadly in contact with each other and the abdominal segments (5) 6— 8 are enurely black. Etymology. — The name vana refers to the more hollow lateral shells of the extension of the male tergite 9. Nephrotoma vana vana subsp. nov.

Characteristics. — N. stygia is an almost completely brownish black species with two, clear yellow marks on the lateral thorax, namely the membranous area underneath the parater- gite and the anterior half of the katatergite in front of the halter. The genae and frontal tuber- cle are more brownish yellow than the rest of the head. The abdominal segments are shining with a broad dull ring along the posterior mar- gins. N. stygia belongs to the analis subgroup (sensu Oosterbroek, 1980), as is shown by the shape of the inner dististyle (fig. 75) and the ex- tension of tergite nine (fig. 74). The basal one- third of the intromittent organ is relatively thick, the apical two-thirds are more slender and consist of a cylindrical filament which is dorsally open, especially at the transition; a similar opening is found in the flavipalpis sub- group, the presumed sistergroup of the analis subgroup (Oosterbroek, 1980). Distribution and period of flight. — Known from the islands Hokkaido, Honshu and Shiko- tan; Masaki and Ishida also mention Kyushu, but no material from that island was examined. The species is recorded from altitudes up to 2000 m and is most frequent from the end of Ju- ly unul the end of August, only a few records are from early July. OOSTERBROEK: Nephrotoma of Japan 261 Discussion. — Savchenko (1973) considers stygia as possibly a junior synonym of erebus, but stygia is a valid species, not even belonging to the same species-group as erebus.

Characteristics. — N. bifusca belongs to the palloris group, of which the Japanese species possess an usually isolated dull mark below the anterior end of the lateral stripes on scutum 1 and which have the lateral parts of the medio- tergite darkened and the antero-medial part yel- low. Among these species bifusca can be easily recognized by the brown seam along the wing cord and apical part of vein CuA2. Males have the posterior margin of the inner dististyle blackened (fig. 80). In females the dorsal margin of sternite 8 is very high towards the hypoval- vae, a character easily visible even in unmacer- ated specimens (figs. 88, 91). A peculiarity of bi- fusca is the swelling of the intromittent organ at about one-third its length from the semen pump (fig. 82). See also under palloris. Distribution and period of flight. — Known from Amurskaya oblast, Khabarovskiy kray, Primorskiy kray, North Korea, South Korea « and the Japanese islands Honshu and Shikoku. The period of flight is from the second half of May until the first half of September. Nephrotoma geminata Alexander, 1920 (figs. 76, 89) Nephrotoma geminata Alexander, 1920: 24, 25.

OOSTERBROEK: Nephrotoma of Japan 263 blackened; in the female yellowish with the bas- al nodes of the segments blackened beyond first or second segment. Thorax. — Pronotum yellowish brown. Lateral thorax pale yellow to yellow, dorsal part of anatergite dark brown. Scutum 1 and 2 pale yellow to yellowish brown between stripes. Scutal stripes dark brown; anterior half of medi- al stripe of scutum 1 usually paler with a broad brownish yellow mark along mid-line, mark sometimes extending over entire length of stripe; lateral stripes of scutum 1 straight with a large, isolated, rounded or oval, dull black spot below anterior end. A broad dull black seam around antero-lateral corners of scutum 2. Scu- tellum transparent, yellow to light brown. Me- diotergite yellow on antero-medial part, lateral and posterior parts dark brown. Coxae, tro- chanters and femora light brown, the latter with narrowly darkened tips; tibiae light brown to brown, tips dark brown; tibiae brown to dark brown; male claws toothed. Wings with a light brown tinge, cell c and usually sc dark brown; stigma dark brown with up to 20 macrotrichia; dark coloration of wing margin usually narrow- ly continued beyond stigma, broadening to- wards wingtip and reaching vein M2, sometimes even CuAl. Abdomen. — Brownish yellow with a row of dark brown dorsal and lateral spots. Tergite 1 broadly dark brown dorsally. Tergites 2—7 with elongate dark brown spots which almost reach preceding tergite, spots in the male about as broad as scutellum, in the female somewhat broader, spots sometimes less developed on ter- gites 5—7. Tergites 2—8 with elongate dark brown spots along lateral margin, almost form- ing a continuous stripe, especially on the ante- rior tergites. Sternites yellow, sometimes infus- cated, hind margins light yellow. Hypopygium. — Extension of male tergite 9 widely V-shaped with slender and curved lateral arms (fig. 85). Outer dististyle very narrow (fig. 84). Inner dististyle with a posterior crest (fig. 87). Gonapophyses elongate, the warning-fin- ger-like part usually visible outside hypopygi- um (fig. 86), but not as distinct as in geminata (fig. 76). Hind margin of sternite 8 with a very wide and shallow incision, lined with long gold- en hairs. _ Ovipositor. — Lateral aspect as in fig. 90 and dorsal aspect of hypovalvae as in fig. 92, differ- ing from palloris (fig. 93) among others in the shape of the rostral extensions. Distribution and period of flight. — Known from the islands Iki, Kyushu and Yakushima only. The species has been collected at the fol- lowing dates: May 19, 24, 28, August 18, Sep- tember 30, October 3 and 7. Etymology. — The name pallida has the same meaning as palloris, of pale colour. The two spe- cies are evidently allopatric sisterspecies. Nephrotoma palloris (Coquillett, 1898) (dies. 77,78, 93) Pachyrhina palloris Coquillett, 1898: 306. Alexander, 1914: 159, 160.

Characteristics. — Forming a species group with geminata, bifusca and pallida and closely related to the latter. The species are very similar in colorauon. Except geminata, they usually have the costal margin of the wing darkened as follows: in bifusca cell sc is darkened and in pal- loris and pallida cells c and sc; this, however, is not a reliable character to separate the species, while bifusca can have both cells dark brown, palloris both or sc only or neither of the two and pallida only sc. More reliable characters are found in the copulatory organs. Males: Inner dististyle without crest (figs. 76, 80): bifusca and geminata. Posterior part of in- ner dististyle blackened (fig. 80): bifusca. Gona- pophyses distinctly protruding beyond hypopy- gium (fig. 76):-geminata.

Discussion. — Females of palloris and pallida can be separated only by internal characters of the hypovalvae. The female holotype of palloris (Coquillett) was not investigated by the present author with respect to these characters. Never- theless it is assumed that palloris (Coquillett) is conspecific with palloris as presented in this pa- per and not with pallida. The female holotype of palloris is labelled “Mitsukuri”, presumably on Honshu, whereas pallida is distributed on Kyushu and adjacent smaller islands.

Ishida, 19552122, Pales pullata; Savchenko, 1973: 121—123. Material examined. — Holotype ®, in good condition, a wing on slide 1834, specimen la- belled “Sapporo, Japan May 26, 1916 S. Ku- wayama” “Holotype Nephrotoma neopratensis C. P. Alexander” (USNMA); other material: 96 99, Hokkaido; 56 59, Honshu; 16, Shiko- tan (Misaki, Iyo); 16 12, North Korea (Ompo, situated a few miles inland from the coast just South of 42°N); 19, South Korea (8 mi SW Kangnung). Characteristics. — Belongs to the crocata subgroup (Oosterbroek, 1980) the species of which have the apex of the adminiculum spined (fig. 97) and possess a spine on the ventral sur- face of the intromittent organ, usually just in front of the adminiculum, as in neopratensis. N. neopratensis is a large species (body length d: up to 16 mm, © : up to 20 mm) and mostly re- sembles pullata. The species is characterized as follows. Occipital marking large and rounded with a narrow and short prolongation on tuber- cle; basally about as broad as prescutum, sometimes narrowly but usually not in contact with the eyes, which are surrounded by yellow. Coxae, abdominal segment 1 and almost entire thorax dusted grey, region below paratergites broadly yellow, as are the parascutella.

OOSTERBROEK: Nephrotoma of Japan 267 Distribution and period of flight. — Known from Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku (Iyo), South and North Korea. Adults are on the wing dur- ing about six weeks, from the end of April until mid-June. Discussion. — The species is reported by Sav- chenko (1973) under pullata. His neopratensis shows a crest on the inner dististyle and a differ- ent colour-pattern and apparently is a not yet described species from Sakhalin.

Alexander” (USNMA); paratypes: 2d 29, Sakhalin, Toyohara (= Yuzhno-Sakha- linsk), 20—23.vii.1923 (1d 22 USNMA, 1d BMNH); other material: 18 19, Sakhalin (Ko- numa; Toyohara = Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk); 4d 49, Hokkaido; 18, Honshu (Tochigi, Nikko); 3d, Primorskiy kray (Jakovskoye; Kamen Ri- bolov. Oz. Khanka); 1®, China (Manchuria, Ha-erh-pin = Charbin). Characteristics. — N. hirsuticauda belongs to the brevipennis group, comprising the three species from Madeira (brevipennis (Wollaston), lucida (Schiner), antithrix (Mannheims)), and a number of Nearctic species (ferruginea (Fab- ricius), abbreviata (Loew), suturalis (Loew), navajo Alexander). The group is characterized by the shape of the gonapophyses, of the inner dististyle and of the extension of the male ter- gite 9. The presence of an oval, serrate mem- brane at the intromittent organ is known in this group only and is found in the species of Madei- ra, in navajo and in hirsuticauda. In general hirs suticauda mostly resembles suturalis. Males of hirsuticauda are easily recognized by the shape of the extension of tergite 9 (fig. 102) and by the tufts of long hairs at sternite 8 (fig. 100). Females share the following characters. Oc- cipital marking small, triangular, ranging from yellow to dark brown, sometimes with a narrow prolongation on tubercle. Pronotum entirely yellowish brown. Scutal stripes usually not uni- formly coloured but in part dark brown and light or yellowish brown; at least stripes on scu- tum 2 lighter in the middle; lateral stripes of scutum 1 anteriorly outcurved, outcurved part shining. Scutellum yellow. Mediotergite yellow, posterior part and usually antero-medial part transparent and light brown. Femora and tibiae light brown, tips dark brown. Abdominal ter- gites 2—7 (8) posteriorly with rounded to oval dorsal spots situated well in front of the hind margins, spots about as large as scutellum; ter- gites laterally with a continuous dark brown stripe. Cerci and hypovalvae as in fig. 101. Specimens from the continent are usually much darker coloured (f. tristis of Savchenko, 1973), but show no differences in genital char- acters. Distribution and period of flight. — N. hirsu- ticanda is known from Krasnoyarskiy kray (Kansk), Irkutskaya oblast, Buryatskaya ASSR, northern Mongolia, Amurskaya oblast, Khabarovskiy kray (Khabarovsk), Primorskiy kray, NE China (Ha-erh-pin), North Korea (Hamgyong nando), Sakhalin, Kunashir, Hok- kaido, Honshu (Nikko). The period of flight in Japan and Sakhalin is from mid-June until mid- September, on the continent from mid-May to the end of August. THE STYLACANTHA GROUP Nephrotoma medioflava spec. nov.

Characteristics. — N. virgata males can be easily recognized by the shape of the extension of tergite 9 (fig. 116), of the inner dististyle (fig. 117), and by the backtolded appendage at ster- nite 8 (fig. 115). Females have the cerci broad and with the blunt ending apical part slightly downcurved (fig. 118). Both sexes have a small occipital marking and the lateral stripes on scu- tum 1 are usually somewhat outcurved anterior- ly, the outcurved part ranges from dull to al- most as shining as stripes themselves. The ab- dominal tergites bear brown to dark brown dorsal markings, the expression of the markings is very variable, ranging from almost absent to occupying the largest part of the tergite but in all instances the hind margins of the tergites are broadly yellow, especially on tergites 2—6; lateral and ventral markings are absent and the abdominal end is not darkened. The species is OOSTERBROEK: Nephrotoma of Japan 20 10 HOKKATDO 278 0 SHIKOKU, KYUSHU & AMAMI NEU NeEBer ih On ED AI Diagram 1. Period of flight of N. virgata. Months divided into periods of 10 days. Number of data relates to number of samples, not to number of specimens. not closely related to any of the other Japanese species but more to species found in central and southeast Asia (fe. consimilis Brunetti, 1911; scurroides de Meijere, 1904). Distribution and period of flight. — The spe- cies is known from the Japanese islands Hok- kaido, Honshu, Tsushima, Sado, Oshima, Shi- koku, Kyushu and Amami. It is recorded from the eastern USSR by Alexander (1925c) and Savchenko (1973; Khasan, Wladiwostok, Primorskiy kray); Alexander (1925c) also men- tions Kudia river, Amagu, which could not be traced, and Okeanskaya, a doubtful record as it is South of Kamchatka, far outside the presently known range of virgata. During this study material was examined from North Korea and South Korea, other Korean localities are men- tioned by Masaki (1933a), but these are doubt- ful, the figures of virgata from Korea in Masaki (1933b) refer to a species of the dorsalis group. Material was also examined from China (W Hu- peh; Szechwan). Out of the Riedel collection 274 TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR ENTOMOLOGIE, DEEL 127, AFL. 11, 1984 (1985) (IPSFK) Prof. Dr. G. Morge kindly sent one specimen det. virgata by Riedel from Taiwan. The specimen was identified by me as definata Alexander, 1935. In spite of all the records from Taiwan it is most probable that virgata does not occur on the island. Other records of virgata in SE Asia are based on the synonymy by Edwards (1927) of scurroides de Meijere, 1904, with vir- gata, but scurroides is a valid species (types in ZMA). Recorded altitudes are up to 2000 m. The period of flight throughout the distribution range is given in diagram 1; on Hokkaido the flight-period is short, June and most frequently July; on the other islands the species is most fre- quent in spring but adults can be found during quite long a period, from the end of April unul the end of October or November; on the conti- nent adults are on the wing from mid-May until early September and are most frequent in Au- gust. THE SINENSIS GROUP Nephrotoma sinensis (Edwards, 1916) This species is recorded from Japan by Esaki (1932), Masaki (1933a), Alexander (1953a, 1953c) and Savchenko (1973). During this study no sinensis material from Japan was encoun- tered. It is almost certain that the above-men- tioned records refer to species of the palloris group. As in sinensis, some members of this group have the costal margin of the wing dark- ened. THE DORSALIS GROUP The following species belong to the dorsalis group, and are discussed and figured in very de- tail by Tangelder (1984). Nephrotoma electripennis Alexander, 1953 (figs. 123, 124) Endemic to Japan (Shikoku, Kyushu); period of flight: mid-May unul mid-June (Tangelder, 1984: 32, 33, figs. 44— 56, map 2). Nephrotoma nigricauda Alexander, 1925 (figs. 121, 122) Endemic to Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) and the Kurile (Kunashir); period of flight: mid- May unul the end of July (Tangelder, 1984: 33—36, figs. 57—68, map 2). Nephrotoma minuticornis Alexander, 1921 (fig. 119) Sugarbeet crane-fly (see p. 236) Distributed from southern Sakhalin to Kyu- shu and Shikoku; period of flight: the end of May until early October (Tangelder, 1984: 66— 70, figs. 201—210, map 8). Nephrotoma sachalina Alexander, 1924 (fig. 120) Distribution: southern Kamchatka, southern Sakhalin, the Kurile and Hokkaido; period of flight: mid-June unul the end of August (Tang- elder, 1984: 45—48, figs. 88, 101, 103—112, map 4). Nephrotoma difficilis Tangelder, 1984 (figs. 126, 128, 130, 131) Distributed from central Asia (Krasnoyarsk and Tuva regions) to southern Primorye, North Korea, southern Sakhalin and Hokkaido; period of flight: mid-June until mid-August (Tangel- der, 1984: 53—57, figs. 124, 134, 137—148, map 5). Nephrotoma angustistria Alexander, 1925 (figs. 127, 129, 132) Endemic to Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu); peri- od of flight: mid-May until early September (Tangelder, 1984: 59— 61, figs. 126, 136, 161— 169, map 5). Nephrotoma cirrata Tangelder, 1984 (fig. 133) Endemic to Japan (Hokkaido); recorded from June 25/26 and July 6 and 12 (Tangelder, 1984: 61—63, figs. 170, 172—181, map 6). Nephrotoma gaganboi Tangelder, 1984 | (fig. 134) Endemic to Japan (Honshu); recorded from June 30 only (Tangelder, 1984: 63, 64, figs. 182— 189, map 6). Nephrotoma microcera Alexander, 1921 (fig. 125) Known from Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) and South Korea (18 mi NE Seoul); period of flight: mid-May until the end of September (Tangel- der, 1984: 64— 66, figs. 171, 190—200, map 7).
