Abstract. The genus Lophotettix, belonging to the Neotropical subfamily Lophotettiginae of the family Tetrigidae, has hitherto been known only from five specimens, i.e. the holotypes of each of its five species. The most important diagnostic criterion for delimiting species was the morphology of the projection of the median carina of the pronotum, known as the crest. Gathered and examined are all the records of this genus in order to determine the intra- and interspecific morphological variability. The crest is found to be morphologically quite variable. In light of this finding, a taxonomic revision of the genus is performed in order to solve the now-apparent ambiguities. Within the genus Lophotettix, we defined two subgenera: (i) L. Lophotettix Hancock, 1909, a nominotypical subgenus, now encompassing L (L.) brevicristatus and L. (L.) zumbadoi, with the latter exhibiting marked variability, suggesting that it could be a complex of species, and (ii) L. Corticotettix Kasalo et Skejo subgen. nov. which encompasses L. (C.) alticristatus and the L. (C.) (unicristatus) species group with the species L. (C.) (u.) unicristatus and L. (C.) (u.) hancocki. An annotated key to the species of the genus Lophotettix is given.
摘要lophotetitix属属于蚱科lophotetitiginae新热带亚科,迄今为止仅从五个标本中得知,即其五个物种中的每个物种的全型。划分种的最重要的诊断标准是前凸中突的突起形态,即嵴。为了确定种内和种间的形态变异性,收集和检查了本属的所有记录。发现冠在形态上变化很大。根据这一发现,进行了属的分类修订,以解决现在明显的歧义。在Lophotettix属中,我们定义了两个亚属:(i) L. Lophotettix Hancock, 1909,一个命名典型的亚属,现在包括L (L.) brevicristatus和L (L.) zumbadoi,后者表现出明显的变异性,表明它可能是一个物种综合体;(ii) L. Corticotettix Kasalo et Skejo亚属。其中包括L. (c) alticristatus和L. (c) (unicristatus)物种组,以及L. (c) (u.) unicristatus和L. (C.) (u.) hancocki。给出了一份带注释的枇杷属的种检索表。

Abstract. Qudsialemellus keralaensis, a new genus and species of belondirid nematode is described and illustrated from the tropical rain forests of Western Ghats, India. The new genus is characterized by its rounded and continuous lip region; odontostyle attenuated with solid appearing tip; odontophore with distinct basal flanges; spiral muscular sheath around the expanded part of pharynx; spathulate cardia; female genital system mono-opisthodelpic; vulva transverse; tail long filiform, similar in both sexes; male with dorylaimoid spicules and two spaced ventromedian supplements. It comes close to the genera Qudsiella Jairajpuri, 1967, Paraqudsiella Siddiqi, 1981 and Durinemella Andrássy, 2009 belonging to the subfamily Swangeriinae Jairajpuri, 1964 but distinctly differs from all the three genera in the presence of a thick walled odontostyle with its tip almost solid appearing and odontophore with prominent basal flanges.

Abstract. We describe the behaviour of Dolichoderus quadripunctatus (L.), an oligogyne ant species, during baiting experiments. Numerous alate gynes (mostly unmated) walked along foraging trails of conspecific workers, but only occasionally a gyne licked the carbohydrate food regularly consumed by the workers. Based on the behaviour of these gynes and previous knowledge of the structure of the foraging trails of D. quadripunctatus within polydomous colonies, the structure and social organisation of these colonies, and the biology of the species, we suggest that gynes may use a previously undescribed means of dispersal. By not returning to her birth nest but walking along intersecting trails, an alate gyne may fortuitously find an auxiliary queenless nest and become adopted there. This behaviour adds to the dispersal tactics known or suggested earlier. We discuss these by evaluating the published data, and conclude that the spatial pattern of colonies have been described in detail, but the means of dispersal of D. quadripunctatus gynes and colony are still poorly documented. Plausible means have been proposed, some potentially leading to supercolonies covering large areas.

Abstract. Sampling of twelve locations along the north east coast of the USA and Brazilian coasts yielded five new records of Xenotrichulidae species (Xenotrichula guadalupensis, X. carolinensis, X. intermedia, Heteroxenotrichula pygmaea and Draculiciteria tesselata) and the description of a new species of Xenotrichula, X. tropicalis sp. nov. from Brazil. The new species is unique among its congeners in possessing double edge rounded scales on the ventral edge of the pharynx and two rows of flat plates on the ventral trunk.

Abstract. Two new species-groups of Lycocerus Gorham are defined, L. kuatunensis group and L. continuatus group, which could be differentiated from all others except L. canthariformis (Ishida, 1986) by the aedeagus with conjoint dorsal plates of parameres. The L. kuatunensis group is composed of five species, including L. kuatunensis (Wittmer, 1995), L. svihlai (Wittmer, 1995) comb. nov., L. nigroapicis Y. Yang et X. Yang, 2013, L. bifurcatus Y. Yang et X. Yang, 2013, and L. nigrigenus Y. Yang et X. Yang, 2013, and the L. continuatus group consists of two species, L. continuatus sp. nov. and L. parameratus Y. Yang et X. Yang, 2013. These two groups differ from each other in the aedeagus possessing longitudinal ridges on inner surface of conjoint dorsal plates of parameres or not, laterophyses compressed or slender, accessory gland uniformly thin or slightly enlarged apically. A morphological phylogenetic analysis shows that the two new groups are closer to the L. canthariformis subgroup of the L. vitellinus group due to the similarity in their aedeagi. The above species are provided with habitus photos, aedeagi, reproductive systems and abdominal sternites VIII of female. A key to the species and a distribution map are provided.
摘要定义了两个新的Lycocerus Gorham种群,L. kuatunensis组和L. continuatus组,它们可以通过参数背板联合的aedeagus与L. canthariformis (Ishida, 1986)以外的所有其他种群区分开来。L. kuatunensis群由5种组成,包括L. kuatunensis (Wittmer, 1995)、L. svihlai (Wittmer, 1995)梳子。nov., L. nigroapicis Y. Yang et x Yang, 2013, L. bifurcatus Y. Yang et x Yang, 2013, L. nigrigenus Y. Yang et x Yang, 2013, L. continuatus群由L. continuatus sp. 11和L. parameratus Y. Yang et x Yang, 2013两种组成。这两个类群的不同之处在于:在关节背板的内表面具有纵脊或不具有纵脊,侧体压缩或细长,副腺均匀薄或顶部稍大。形态学系统发育分析表明,这两个新类群在aedeagi上具有相似性,更接近于L. canthariformis亚群的L. vitellinus亚群。上述物种均有雌性的习性照片、aedeagi、生殖系统和腹部胸骨VIII。提供了一个物种的钥匙和分布图。
