Abstract. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene has been used broadly as a DNA barcoding region or and relevant molecular marker for phylogenetic reconstruction. The exact region that has been standardized as a universal barcode is the one amplified by Folmer's primers HCO-LCO. Nevertheless, many other primers have been developed for the amplification of the COI gene, among them the Jerry-Pat primers. This paper aims to analyze the performance of different regions of the COI, in particular those amplified by Folmer's and Jerry-Pat primers, on different taxonomic levels by using specimens from a complex and homogeneous beetle family, Mordellidae Latreille, 1802. To achieve this goal, we used two different datasets: Jerry-Pat matrix included 48 sequences from specimens sampled in the field and 19 sequences from GenBank, whereas Folmer's matrix included 91 sequences from BOLD; representing 24 and 85 species respectively. Our results show different properties of both COI regions regarding GC content (3.7% lower in Jerry-Pat fragment), sequence length, interspecific divergence, evolutionary models, and saturation analyses. We also found that the two studied regions of the COI perform differently, showing notable differences in the topology of the reconstructed trees. Finally, a discussion of the pros and cons of each region is provided. This is a first glance at the molecular data of Mordellidae, where we provided a general picture of the evolutionary history of the family and included new sequences for Mediimorda Méquignon, 1946 and Stenalia Mulsant, 1856.

Abstract. The microcaddisfly genus Metrichia Ross is the second most species-rich within Ochrotrichiinae, comprising 141 species distributed mainly in the Central America. Recently, a large number of Metrichia species have been described for the Brazilian fauna; however, these species only are known from the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, and Cerrado biomes. Aiming to fill these gaps, three new species of Metrichia are described and illustrated based on males collected in three protected and preserved areas of Brazilian Amazonia: Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, Parque Nacional Serra do Divisor and Parque Nacional Serra da Mocidade. Metrichia divisor sp. nov., Metrichia flinti sp. nov. and Metrichia myriachaeta sp. nov., can be recognized mainly by the type and position of setae on the preanal appendage and inferior appendage and by the morphology of the dorsolateral hook and phallic apparatus. Metrichia flinti sp. nov. is clearly a member of the M. aberrans Group based on the absence of pouches in abdominal segments and phallus with two spines subapically. However, neither M. divisor sp. nov. nor M. myriachaeta sp. nov. fits clearly in any of the current species groups in Metrichia, and hence they are not assigned to any of these species groups in this study. Finally, we provide a checklist of the Metrichia species from Brazil.
摘要微蝇属(microcaddisfly genus Metrichia Ross)是微蝇科中第二丰富的物种，共有141种，主要分布在中美洲。近年来，在巴西动物群中发现了大量的Metrichia种;然而，这些物种只在大西洋森林、卡廷加和塞拉多生物群系中被发现。为了填补这些空白，本文根据在巴西亚马逊河流域三个保护区(Floresta Nacional do Tapajós、Parque Nacional Serra do Divisor和Parque Nacional Serra da Mocidade)收集的雄性物种描述和说明了三个新的Metrichia物种。分头Metrichia divisor sp. nov.、flinti sp. nov.和myriachaeta sp. nov.主要通过肛前附属物和下附属物上刚毛的类型和位置以及背外侧钩和生殖器的形态来识别。flinti Metrichia sp. 11 .根据腹部节没有袋和阴茎尖下有两根刺，显然是M. aberrans组的成员。然而，无论是M. divisor sp. 11还是M. myriachaeta sp. 11都不属于Metrichia现有的任何物种群，因此在本研究中它们没有被分配到任何这些物种群中。最后，我们提供了一份来自巴西的Metrichia物种清单。

Abstract. A new extinct genus and species from the subfamily Dolichoderinae, Dlusskyus groehni gen. et sp. nov., is described based on the single male from Baltic amber (late Eocene, 37.8–33.9 Ma). It differs from all extant and extinct Dolichoderinae genera in the following combination of features: antennae 13-segmented, scape shorter than the second funicular segment, which is the longest; palp formula 6, 4; clypeus not inserted between frontal carinae, frontal triangle well outlined and separated from clypeus by suture; clypeus with longitudinal median carina, its anterior margin very weakly convex, without medial notch; mandibles crossing when closed, masticatory margin long, with two minute sharp apical and preapical teeth and a row of minute sharp denticles, serrate; scutum without notauli; petiole nodiform, with short peduncle; meso- and metatibiae with large simple spur; pretarsal claws without preapical tooth; posterior margin of pygidium with median tooth; subgenital plate with very shallow median notch; pygostiles present; stipites of genitalia very weakly curved, narrow, with rounded apices, telomeres not strongly elongated; forewings with closed cells 1r+2r, 3r, rm and mcu; jugal lobe absent. The taxonomic position of this genus is discussed.

Abstract. Lepidomystix gen. nov. weigeli sp. nov. is described from the foothills of Himalaya in India and Nepal. The taxon is characterised by striking scales on the dorsal and ventral side, by very short antennae and widely broadened tarsi of all legs (perhaps only in males). The new taxon is assigned to the subfamily Stenochiinae and is compared with the genus Stenochinus Motschulsky, 1860, tribe Cnodalonini. However, it remains doubtful if Lepidomysticus gen. nov. belongs to the same tribe, because characters of the female genitalia (ovipositor, spermatheca) are not available. The species is known for a limited number of specimens, suggesting a peculiar or cryptic lifestyle.
摘要鳞翅目蝇(Lepidomystix gen. 11 . weigeli sp. 11 .)产于印度和尼泊尔的喜马拉雅山麓。该分类群的特点是背部和腹部有明显的鳞片，触角很短，所有腿的跗骨都很宽(可能只有雄性)。将该新分类单元归属于窄足足亚科，并与1860年的窄足足足属(striochinus Motschulsky)进行比较。然而，由于无法获得雌性生殖器官(产卵器、精子)的特征，因此是否属于同一部落尚存疑问。该物种以数量有限的标本而闻名，这表明它有一种奇特或神秘的生活方式。

Abstract. In a moss sample from Cameroon a few specimens and eggs of a new species of tardigrade were found. Macrobiotus stanislausi sp. nov. belongs to the Macrobiotus nelsonae morpho-group and is most similar to Mac. ragonesei. However, it differs from Mac. ragonesei mainly by the shape of the egg processes and the absence of annulations on process endings. A dichotomous key for Macrobiotus nelsonae morpho-group is also proposed. Moreover, the genus Macrobiotus is divided into 12 morpho-groups based on morphology of the eggs to facilitate future taxonomic research on this genus.

Abstract. The Australian cryptorhynchine weevil genus Tentegia Pascoe, 1873 is unique among Curculionoidea due to its coprophagous life style. The adults roll or pull marsupial dung pellets and cache them under logs, and the larvae develop in the pellets. In a remarkable case of convergent evolution, Tentegia is the only known beetle taxon outside of Scarabaeinae (Scarabaeidae) with such dung-rolling and nesting habits. In this paper the taxonomy of Tentegia is revised, including the redescription of the genus, descriptions of the six former species and three new species from the Northern Territory, T. tompsetti sp. nov., T. grossbechleri sp. nov. and T. weiri sp. nov. Lectotypes are designated for Tentegia quadriseriata Lea, 1912, Tentegia amplipennis Lea, 1930, T. quadrisignata Lea, 1910, T. anopla Lea, 1908, T. bisignata Pascoe and T. quinquesinuata Lea. All species are illustrated and their distributions are mapped, revealing the genus to occur in monsoonal and arid ecosystems of the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia. The dung-rolling behaviour of Tentegia stupida (Fabricius) is documented on video recordings for the first time.

Abstract. The parasitoid wasp, Psyllaephagus saxaulicus Sugonjaev, 1968 (Hym.: Encyrtidae) is newly reported from Iran. It was reared from the olive psyllid, Euphyllura straminea Loginova (Hem.: Liviidae) on the olive tree, Olea europaea L. (Oleaceae), which is considered as a new host-parasitoid association. Here, the male of P. saxaulicus is described and illustrated for the first time and a redescription is provided to facilitate the recognition of its female. Furthermore, other new associations, Marietta picta (André) (Hym.: Aphelinidae) and Chartocerus kurdjumovi (Nikol`skaya) (Hym.: Signiphoridae) as hyperparasitoids are recorded.

Furthermore, other new associations, Marietta picta (André) (Hym.: Aphelinidae) and Chartocerus kurdjumovi (Nikol`skaya) (Hym.: Signiphoridae) as hyperparasitoids are recorded.","PeriodicalId":50775,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86233738","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}

Abstract. A review of the Greek members of the Temnothorax graecus species-group revealed two species new to science: T. mytilenes sp. nov. (Greece: Lesbos, Samos, Kos and Rhodes, and Türkiye: Ayvalık Peninsula) and T. phaetoni sp. nov. (endemic to Cyclades). Additionally, the diagnoses and redescriptions are provided for T. aeolius (Forel, 1911), T. graecus (Forel, 1911), and T. smyrnensis (Forel, 1911). Lectotypes are designated for Leptothorax bulgaricus subsp. graecus Forel, 1911, Leptothorax bulgaricus subsp. aeolius Forel, 1911, and Leptothorax bulgaricus subsp. smyrnensis Forel, 1911. All members of the graecus species-group are associated mostly with moderately humid to arid deciduous forests or Mediterranean bushes. A dichotomous key to the graecus species-group from Greece is given.
