Two tenthredinid sawfly species are newly recorded in Germany: Pristiphora krausi (Lacourt, 2006) and P. melagonia sp. nov. The latter is also recorded from Greece and Spain. These species belong to the Pristiphora depressa group, as confirmed by genetic data. Additional data are presented for seven other tenthredinid species which have only rarely been recorded in Germany and for which previously-published data are incomplete. Identification keys to the West Palaearctic species of Eurhadinoceraea and the Pristiphora depressa group are included. Other species of Symphyta, first recorded in Germany since the publication of the most recent checklist, are listed in a table, with references to literature which describes identification characters.

Tomares hairstreaks comprise about 10 species distributed from Europe and North Africa to Central Asia. The taxonomy of the genus is hampered by the absence of diagnostic characters by which specimens can be unambiguously assigned to species. Our investigation of morphology and DNA barcode variations within and between Tomares species shows that while well-defined species (T. ballus, T. mauritanicus, T. callimachus, T. desinens and T. fedtschenkoi) diverge, poorly characterized taxa (T. nogelii, T. nesimachus, T. dobrogensis, T. romanovi and T. telemachus) show very little to no differentiation in mtDNA. We reinstate Tomares callimachus spp. hafis (Kollar, 1849) as a valid subspecies (stat. rev.) and propose taxa telemachus Zhdanko, 2000 and uighurica Koçak, Seven & Kemal, 2000 as synonyms of T. romanovi and T. nogelii nogelii respectively (syn. nov.). We relegate Polyommatus epiphania Boisduval, 1848, recently revived as a valid subspecies of T. callimachus, back to synonymy under the latter, and reconsider the status of T. nogelii dobrogensis (Caradja, 1895) in the light of new molecular data. We use a nuclear gene (EF-1α) in addition to COI barcodes to reconstruct the phylogeny of the group.
番茄的毛纹包括大约10种，分布在欧洲和北非到中亚。该属的分类学由于缺乏诊断特征而受到阻碍，通过这些特征，标本可以明确地分配给物种。我们对Tomares物种内部和物种之间的形态和DNA条形码差异的研究表明，虽然定义明确的物种(T. ballus, T. mauritanicus, T. callimachus, T. desinens和T. fedtschenkoi)存在分歧，但特征不明确的分类群(T. nogelii, T. nesimachus, T. dobrogensis, T. romanovi和T. telemachus)在mtDNA上几乎没有分化。我们恢复了Tomares callimachus spp. hafis (Kollar, 1849)作为一个有效的亚种(stat. rev.)，并提出telemachus Zhdanko, 2000和uighurica koak, Seven & Kemal, 2000分别作为T. romanovi和T. nogelii nogelii的同义词(syn11 .)。我们将最近作为T. callimachus的一个有效亚种复活的Polyommatus epiphania Boisduval(1848)降级为后者的同义词，并根据新的分子数据重新考虑T. nogelii dobrogensis (Caradja, 1895)的地位。我们使用核基因(EF-1α)和COI条形码来重建该群体的系统发育。

Very few sawflies using Gentianaceae as larval host plants have been recorded. We identified larvae collected in Austria onGentiana asclepiadeaL. asTenthredo atraLinnaeus, 1758 andT. propinquaKlug, 1817. If its current taxonomic circumscription as a single species is accepted,T. atrais a highly polyphagous species, whereasT. propinquamay be more specialised:Gentiana asclepiadeais its first recorded host. We sequenced plant DNA from the head of oneT. propinqualarva, which confirmed that it had been feeding on this plant. This is the first recorded use ofG. asclepiadeaby sawfly larvae.

Bayesian and parsimony phylogenetic analyses of combined and partitioned datasets of molecular (partial sequences of 28S, wg, COI, and CAD) and morphological (51 characters of adults) data for exemplar taxa of five outgroup and 76 ingroup abacetine carabids resulted in a monophyletic Loxandrina Erwin & Sims, 1984 that is split into Australian and American clades. The genus Loxandrus LeConte, 1853 as previously delimited is not monophyletic relative to numerous genus-level taxa in Abacetini Chaudoir, 1873 and is restricted to a subgenus of North American species. A reclassification and nomenclatural changes for the subtribe that are consistent with the phylogeny are provided. Three genera are removed from Loxandrina: Aulacopodus Britton, 1940 moved to Pterostichini Bonelli, 1810; Cosmodiscus Sloane, 1907 and Tiferonia Darlington, 1962 moved to Abacetina. Based on the phylogenetic relationships and nomenclatural priority only four genera are recognized in Loxandrina: Cerabilia Laporte, 1867, Zeodera Laporte, 1867, Pediomorphus Chaudoir, 1878, and Oxycrepis Reiche, 1843. All other previously recognized genera are treated as subgenera. The classification change created eight secondary homonyms that are resolved by the proposal of the following: Oxycrepis gebi, replacement name for O. balli (Straneo, 1993); O. amatona, replacement name for O. matoana (Straneo, 1993); O. xiproma, replacement name for O. proxima (Straneo, 1993); O. rasutulis, replacement name for O. suturalis (Straneo, 1993); O. laevinota, replacement name for O. laevicollis (Bates, 1871); O. arvulap, replacement name for O. parvula (Straneo, 1951); O. noaffine, replacement name for O. affinis (Straneo, 1991); O. alutona, replacement name for O. notula (Tschitschérine, 1901). An overview of the morphological characteristics and diagnostic features of Loxandrina taxa is provided. A key and habitus images are provided for identification of genera and subgenera. The possible historical biogeography of the group is discussed in light of their phylogenetic relationships and past geological events.

Leafand fruit-feeding chrysomelids (Coleoptera) on bananas and plantains (Musaceae, Zingiberales) cause major losses to banana growers in the northern and northeastern regions of India, Bangladesh, and other parts of Southeast Asia. The species composition of these beetles has not been studied so far in India and wrong names or wrong name combinations in the literature have caused confusion. Most particularly, the Central and South American species of Colaspis hypochlora Lefèvre (Chrysomelidae, Eumolpinae) has been erroneously reported as occurring in India and Bangladesh, and this name has been used for the Indian species. Based on extensive surveys for leafand fruit-feeding chrysomelids in the northern and northeastern regions of India from 2015 to 2019, three species of banana-feeding chrysomelids, namely, Basilepta subcostata (Jacoby) (Eumolpinae), Bhamoina varipes (Jacoby), and a new species, Sphaeroderma cruenta sp. nov. (Galerucinae, Alticini), are documented. Of these, the latter two are recorded as pests of banana in India for the first time. An illustrated diagnostic account of these three species is given to facilitate their identification by economic entomologists. COI sequences of populations of B. subcostata from Assam and Uttar Pradesh showed 98–100% homology, indicating that these populations are conspecific and that COI sequences can be used for rapid species determination. Brief notes on the biology and available management options for these pests are also given.

Here we elucidate and justify a DNA barcode approach to insect species description that can be applied to name tens of thousands of species of Ichneumonoidea and many other species-rich taxa. Each description consists of a lateral habitus image of the specimen, a COI barcode diagnosis, and the holotype specimen information required by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. We believe this approach, or a slight modification of it, will be useful for many other underdescribed hyperdiverse taxa, especially in the tropics. Due to the extreme species-richness of the Ichneumonoidea, the very low percentage of described species, and the lack of detailed biological information for most described species, the standard taxonomic approach is inefficient and overwhelmingly time consuming. A DNA barcode-based approach to initial description will provide a solid foundation of species hypotheses from which more comprehensive descriptions can be developed as other data, time, and budgets permit. Here we elucidate this view and detailed methodology that can generally be applied to species-rich underdescribed taxa. A real example is given by describing species in two genera, Hemichoma and Zelomorpha, reared from the Área de Conservación Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica. The generic type species Zelomorphaarizonensis is given a DNA barcode diagnosis and the following new species are described: Zelomorphaangelsolisi, Zelomorphabobandersoni, Zelomorphadanjohnsoni, Zelomorphadonwindsori, Zelomorphaeffugia, Zelomorphajohnchemsaki, Zelomorphakellyanneae, Zelomorphalarrykirkendalli, Zelomorphamariyavladmirovnae, Zelomorphamikeiviei, Zelomorphamyricagaleae, Zelomorphanoahjaneae, Zelomorphapaulgoldsteini, Zelomorphaterryerwini, Zelomorphawillsflowersi, Hemichomadonwhiteheadi, Hemichomafrankhovorei, and Hemichomajohnkingsolveri.

The larval morphology of the water scavenger beetlePsalitrusyamatensisHoshina & Satô, 2005 is described based on a specimen collected from Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. This is the first description of the larval morphology of the hydrophilid genusPsalitrusd’Orchymont, 1919, as well as the first description of larval chaetotaxy of the tribe Omicrini. Species-level identification of the larva was performed using DNA barcoding of a molecular marker: a 658 bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I. A description including chaetotaxy of head capsule and head appendages, diagnosis, and illustrations of the larva is provided.Psalitruslarvae can be distinguished from other known larvae of the tribe Omicrini by the morphology of the head and legs. The larva shares characters with other known larvae of Omicrini; potential plesiomorphies are shared with Cylominae and aquatic hydrophilids; some characters are also shared with larvae of Megasternini and Sphaeridiini.

A new and a previously known species of the genus Zhenia Q. Zhang, 2016 (Eremochaetidae) are illustrated and described based on two males and a female in amber: Zheniaburmensissp. nov. and Z.xiai Q. Zhang, 2016. The male Z.xiai is the first male of this species recorded. The relationships of Archisargoidea (including Eremochaetidae, Zhenia) are reassessed based on male genitalia. The superfamily is more likely related to the Stratiomyomorpha than to the Muscomorpha (including Nemestrinoidea). The components and structures of the ovipositor are re-illustrated. The results of our comparative study demonstrate that the ovipositor of Zhenia is similar in shape and detail to that of Rhagoletispomonella (Walsh, 1867) (Tephritidae). This study concludes that the ovipositor of Zhenia is most likely formed from abdominal eighth and ninth segments instead of the cerci, as a previous study found.

The results of our comparative study demonstrate that the ovipositor of Zhenia is similar in shape and detail to that of Rhagoletispomonella (Walsh, 1867) (Tephritidae). This study concludes that the ovipositor of Zhenia is most likely formed from abdominal eighth and ninth segments instead of the cerci, as a previous study found.","PeriodicalId":50592,"journal":{"name":"Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43123029","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}
Thirty-nine species of sawfly (Symphyta) are recorded for the first time in Bulgaria. Most of these were collected during early spring of 2018, in the south-east of the country (Burgas and Varna Provinces). Empriaaridicola Macek & Prous, sp. nov. is described as new to science from specimens collected in several central, east and south European countries. Lectotypes are designated for Poecilosomaparvula Konow, 1892, Empriapravei Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1925 and E.pseudoklugi Dovnar-Zapolskij, 1929. Empriapravei and Sciapteryxbyzantina Benson, 1968 are at present only known in Europe from the coastal zone of the Black Sea. The new Bulgarian records of Hoplocampacantoti Chevin, 1986 and Neomessasteusloffi (Konow, 1892) represent large extensions in their recorded ranges, previously comprising respectively only northern France, and north-eastern Germany. Possible host plant associations are noted for several species, based on observations of adults.
