The sting apparatus of aculeate Hymenoptera is derived from the ovipositor and is their most prominent apomorphy. In contrast to the frequently analysed sclerites of the sting apparatus, the associated musculature has largely been neglected. In this study, we use micro-computed tomography to present a detailed description of the musculature of the sting apparatus of Ampulex compressa (Ampulicidae) and Sceliphron destillatorium (Sphecidae). We found that 12 of 15 muscles corresponding to the sting apparatus are homologous between both species examined and 13 muscles in comparison with Hymenoptera described in the literature. All muscles identified as critical for the act of stinging were found in both species. Moreover, we found the ventral tergum 8-tergum 9 muscle and the tergum 8-tergum 8 muscles in A. compressa and the second valvifer-second valvifer muscle in S. destillatorium. For the first time, we describe the ventral tergum 8-tergum 9 muscle and the second valvifer-second valvifer muscle that interconnects both body sides, in Hymenoptera.

The Pyrenees are inhabited by scattered populations of earwigs of the genus Chelidura Latreille, 1825. There is some controversy about the specific assignment of these populations: while most authors assign them to C. pyrenaica (Gené, 1832), other consider that C. aptera (Mégerlé, 1825) is also present in the Pyrenees. The main objective of this work was to revise the identity and synonyms of Pyrenean Chelidura. Specimens from recent fieldwork and collections (MNCN-CSIC) were used for morphological and molecular studies (cytochrome oxidase 1). All Pyrenean specimens shared similar cox1 sequences, very divergent from those of Alpine C. aptera. As a consequence, the variability observed in male cerci morphology from the Pyrenees, ranging from long and slightly curved to short and very curved, corresponded to C. pyrenaica, and the presence of C. aptera in the Pyrenees can be rejected. As previously suggested by Maccagno (1933) and Fontana et al. (2021), the revision of the synonymic list uncovered the misplacement of the name F. simplex Germar, 1825 under the synonymy of C. aptera, while it rather represents a synonym of C. pyrenaica (syn. nov.). Forficula simplex has nomenclatural priority over C. pyrenaica, however both names meet the requirements of the article 23.9.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to retain the prevailing usage of C. pyrenaica (nomen protectum) over F. simplex (nomen oblitum). Additionally, we discuss the taxonomic status of Chelidura arverna David & Van Herrewege, 1973 stat. nov. from the French Massif Central.
1825年，比利牛斯山脉上居住着一种名为Chelidura Latreille的蠼螋。关于这些种群的具体分配存在一些争议:虽然大多数作者将它们分配给C. pyrenaica (gen， 1832年)，但其他人认为C. aptera (m gerl， 1825年)也存在于比利牛斯山脉。这项工作的主要目的是修改比利牛斯山切利杜拉的身份和同义词。利用最近野外采集的标本(MNCN-CSIC)进行形态和分子研究(细胞色素氧化酶1)。所有比利牛斯地区的标本都具有相似的cox1序列，与高山无翅蝉的cox1序列差异很大。因此，在比利牛斯山脉观察到的雄性尾蚴形态的变化，从长而略弯曲到短而非常弯曲，与比利牛斯山脉的C. pyrenaica相对应，并且可以拒绝比利牛斯山脉无翅蛾的存在。正如Maccagno(1933)和Fontana et al.(2021)先前提出的，对同义词表的修订发现F. simplex german, 1825在C. aptera的同义词下的位置错误，而它更像是C. pyrenaica的同义词(syn11 .)。单纯Forficula simplex在命名上比C. pyrenaica具有优先权，但是这两个名称都符合《国际动物命名规则》第23.9.1条的要求，以保留C. pyrenaica (nomen protectum)对F. simplex (nomen oblitum)的普遍用法。此外，我们还讨论了法国中部地区Chelidura arverna David & Van Herrewege, 1973 stat. 11 .的分类地位。

Conflicting hypotheses about the relationships among the major lineages of aculeate Hymenoptera clearly show the necessity of detailed comparative morphological studies. Using micro-computed tomography and 3D reconstructions, the skeletal musculature of the mesoand metathorax and the first and second abdominal segment in Apoidea are described. Females of Sceliphron destillatorium, Sphex (Fernaldina) lucae (both Sphecidae), and Ampulex compressa (Ampulicidae) were examined. The morphological terminology provided by the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology is used. Up to 42 muscles were found. The three species differ in certain numerical and structural aspects. Ampulicidae differs significantly from Sphecidae in the metathorax and the anterior abdomen. The metapleural apodeme and paracoxal ridge are weakly developed in Ampulicidae, which affect some muscular structures. Furthermore, the muscles that insert on the coxae and trochanters are broader and longer in Ampulicidae. A conspicuous characteristic of Sphecidae is the absence of the metaphragma. Overall, we identified four hitherto unrecognized muscles. Our work suggests additional investigations on structures discussed in this paper.

The ground beetle genusAgonumBonelli, 1810 is a large genus of the tribe Platynini with many species that show high amounts of intraspecific variations, making a correct identification challenging. As part of the German Barcode of Life initiative, this publication provides a comprehensive DNA barcode library for species ofAgonumthat are reported for Germany. In total, DNA barcodes from 258 beetles and 23 species were analysed using the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) workbench, including sequences from former studies and 68 newly-generated sequences. The neighbour-joining analyses, based on K2P distances, revealed distinct clustering for all studied species, with unique Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) for 15 species (65%). BIN sharing but distinct clustering was found for three species pairs:Agonum micans/Agonum scitulum,Agonum impressum/Agonum sexpunctatumandAgonum duftschmidi/Agonum emarginatum. The given dataset and its analysis represent another important step in generating a comprehensive DNA barcode library for the ground beetles of Germany and Central Europe in terms of modern biodiversity research.

Using high-resolution stereomicroscopy and exploratory data analyses, a taxonomic revision of the cryptic species close to Plagiolepis schmitzii Forel, 1895, called Pl. schmitzii group, was conducted. Morphology was numerically recorded under highly standardised conditions considering absolute size and 16 shape, pubescence and surface characters. A key to the non-parasitic Westpalaearctic species of the ant genus Plagiolepis Mayr, 1861 is provided which firstly separates, on species group level, the Pl. pygmaea (Latreille) species group, the Pl. pallescens Forel species group and the Pl. schmitzii species group and, finally, on species level, the cryptic species of the latter group. The recognised species of the Pl. schmitzii species group are Pl. schmitzii Forel, 1895 (invasive species), Pl. barbara Santschi, 1911, Pl. atlantis Santschi, 1920 and Pl. invadens sp. nov. (invasive species) that is described as new from a supercolony in Germany. Based on morphological arguments, the taxa Pl. barbara var. madeirensis Emery, 1921, Pl. maura polygyna Santschi, 1922 and Pl. schmitzii var. tingitana Santschi, 1936 are recognised as junior synonyms of Pl. schmitzii, the taxa Pl. schmitzii crosi Santschi, 1920, Pl. pallescens var. kabyla Santschi, 1920 and Pl. perperamus Salata et al., 2018 as junior synonyms of Pl. atlantis and the taxon Pl. maura Santschi, 1920 as junior synonym of Pl. barbara. A concluding comparative section suggests that pre-adaptations for anthropogenous dispersal and transformation to supercoloniality in introduction areas are apparently common traits in Plagiolepis ants.
利用高分辨率立体显微镜技术和探索性数据分析，对与schmitzii Forel, 1895相近的隐种Pl. schmitzii类群进行了分类修正。形态学在高度标准化的条件下进行了数值记录，考虑了绝对大小和16的形状、短柔毛和表面特征。本文提供了westpalanorth蚂蚁属(Plagiolepis Mayr, 1861)非寄生种的一个关键，首先在种群水平上分离出Pl. pygmaea (Latreille)种群、Pl. pallescens Forel种群和Pl. schmitzii种群，最后在种群水平上分离出后者的隐种。已知的Pl. schmitzii种群有Pl. schmitzii Forel, 1895年(入侵种)，Pl. barbara Santschi, 1911年，Pl. atlantis Santschi, 1920年和Pl. invadens sp. nov(入侵种)，被描述为来自德国一个超级群落的新物种。基于形态学上的争论，分类群Pl. barbara var. madeirensis Emery(1921)、Pl. maura polygyna Santschi(1922)和Pl. schmitzii var. tingitana Santschi(1936)被认为是Pl. schmitzii的初级同义词;分类群Pl. schmitzii crosi Santschi(1920)、Pl. pallescens var. kabyla Santschi(1920)和Pl. perperamus Salata等人(2018)被认为是Pl. atlantis的初级同义词;分类群Pl. maura Santschi(1920)被认为是Pl. barbara的初级同义词。最后的比较部分表明，斜蚁在引进地的人为扩散和向超殖民地的转变的预适应显然是其共同的特征。

A key to the non-parasitic Westpalaearctic species of the ant genus Plagiolepis Mayr, 1861 is provided which firstly separates, on species group level, the Pl. pygmaea (Latreille) species group, the Pl. pallescens Forel species group and the Pl. schmitzii species group and, finally, on species level, the cryptic species of the latter group. The recognised species of the Pl. schmitzii species group are Pl. schmitzii Forel, 1895 (invasive species), Pl. barbara Santschi, 1911, Pl. atlantis Santschi, 1920 and Pl. invadens sp. nov. (invasive species) that is described as new from a supercolony in Germany. Based on morphological arguments, the taxa Pl. barbara var. madeirensis Emery, 1921, Pl. maura polygyna Santschi, 1922 and Pl. schmitzii var. tingitana Santschi, 1936 are recognised as junior synonyms of Pl. schmitzii, the taxa Pl. schmitzii crosi Santschi, 1920, Pl. pallescens var. kabyla Santschi, 1920 and Pl. perperamus Salata et al., 2018 as junior synonyms of Pl. atlantis and the taxon Pl. maura Santschi, 1920 as junior synonym of Pl. barbara. A concluding comparative section suggests that pre-adaptations for anthropogenous dispersal and transformation to supercoloniality in introduction areas are apparently common traits in Plagiolepis ants.","PeriodicalId":50592,"journal":{"name":"Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift","volume":"67 1","pages":"183-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47828324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Male and female of Nusalala peruanasp. nov., a flightless hemerobiid from the Andes mountain range of northern Peru, at a height of almost 4000 m, are described, figured and documented as the first record of a brachypterous, flightless species of Nusalala Navás, 1913, from this country. The other two congeneric, brachypterous species are from high altitudes in Colombia and Costa Rica and have been described in the male sex only – the females remain unknown. The coriaceous domed forewings are shared by all three brachypterous Nusalala species. The ribbon-like hindwings of the male of N. peruanasp. nov. are unique, since those of the other brachypterous males are scale-like, as are the hindwings of the female of N. peruanasp. nov. Distribution and evolutionary backgrounds of brachyptery and flightlessness in Neuropterida are discussed.
