Taxonomic revision of the Australian native bee subgenus Australictus (Hymenoptera: Halictidae: Halictini: genus Lasioglossum) – “Wood-Splitting Axe Bees”. Memoirs of Museum Victoria 81: 135–162. The Australian Lasioglossum Curtis 1833 subgenus Australictus Michener 1965 is revised. Of the 11 available names listed by Michener (1965) for the subgenus Australictus, six are placed in synonymy. A species placed by Michener (1965) in the Lasioglossum subgenus Parasphecodes Smith 1853 is recombined to the subgenus Australictus, and four other species, placed in Parasphecodes by Michener (1965), are synonymised with this valid, recombined taxon, and the species name of the taxon is reverted to its original spelling. In addition, a species placed in Australictus by Michener (1965) is synonymised with a valid species in the Lasioglossum subgenus Chilalictus Michener 1965. These changes provide five valid names for the subgenus Australictus. New synonymies, recombined names and valid species proposed for Lasioglossum (Australictus) are as follows: New synonymies – Lasioglossum (Australictus) kurandense (Cockerell 1914) syn. nov., Lasioglossum (Australictus) nigroscopaceum (Friese 1917) syn. by Cockerell 1929 but listed by Michener (1965: 165) as valid = Lasioglossum (Australictus) davide (Cockerell 1910a); Lasioglossum (Australictus) insculptum (Cockerell 1918) syn. nov., Lasioglossum (Australictus) rufitarsum (Rayment 1929) syn. nov. and Lasioglossum (Australictus) fulvofasciae Michener 1965 syn. nov. = Lasioglossum (Australictus) tertium (Dalla Torre 1896); Lasioglossum (Australictus) franki (Friese 1924) syn. nov. = Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) orbatum (Smith 1853). New combination and new synonymies – Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) lithuscum (Smith 1853) comb. nov. moved to Lasioglossum (Australictus) lithusca; Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) adelaidae (Cockerell 1905) syn. nov., Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) griseipenne (Cockerell 1929) syn. nov., Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) stuchilum (Smith 1853) syn. nov., Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) wellingstoni (Cockerell 1914) syn. nov. = Lasioglossum (Australictus) lithusca. Valid is Lasioglossum (Australictus) plorator (Cockerell 1910b). New female subgeneric mandibular characters are added to Michener’s (1965) diagnostics for Australictus – mandible with elongated and enlarged preapical tooth, reduction in width of basal tooth at apical end and in dorsal view, broadening of width at base of mandible. The mandibular modifications, widening of the head basally and enlarged gena are associated with Australictus behaviour to nest in wood rather than ground nesting in soil as is usual for Halictidae bees. The shape of the female mandible, especially in dorsal view, resembles a wood-splitting axe – hence the common name coined here, “Wood-Splitting Axe Bees”. Australictus is the first record of wood-nesting bees for Australian Halictidae.

Early research concluded that all material should be considered a single species, P. australiensis Kemp, pending an acceptable revision. After morphological examination of material throughout the known distribution, others concluded that only a single species occurred in Australia. Molecular studies have recognised at least 10 distinct lineages. In the current study, fresh material was collected, and molecular sequencing was undertaken from a single leg from each specimen. Having confirmed the 10 lineages, the specimens were dissected for morphological examination. These lineages are recognised as distinct species and morphological descriptions are provided for seven new species: Paratya walkeri n. sp., P. spinosa n. sp., P. williamsi n. sp., P. whitemae n. sp., P. strathbogiensis n.sp., P. gariwerdensis n. sp. and P. rouxi n. sp.

The fossil extends our knowledge of known variations within early land plants, with most characteristics, such as emergences and H- or K-branching, redolent of affinities with the zosterophylls. However, having a large ovate terminal sporangium, the fossil adds to taxa that in some cases have been provisonally allied to the zosterophylls with elongate sporangia; this further demonstrates the need for reassessment of the Zosterophyllopsida.","PeriodicalId":53647,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of Museum Victoria","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41983424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All other known sepiolinids have copulatory organs in the left side of the body. Amutatiola macroventosa is characterised by the absence of a hectcotylised arm in mature males; instead, it possesses many enormously enlarged suckers on some of the arms of the males. The bursa copulatrix is in the left side of the female body, as in other known sepioline squids. The discovery of these two new taxa indicates that the present definition of Sepiolinae needs to be broadened to accommodate these two new genera.","PeriodicalId":53647,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of Museum Victoria","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43931980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can be especially important for understanding the evolution of social living, where defence against parasites is often posited as a major benefit of cooperative nesting. Only two parasitoid species have previously been reported for the only known social colletid bee, Amphylaeus morosus: the gasteruptiid wasp, Gasteruption primotarsale, and the mutillid, Ephutomorpha tyla. Here we report six additional parasitoid species of A. morosus: the gasteruptiid wasps G. atrinerve, G. globiceps, G. melanopoda and G. cinerescens; the bombyliid fly Anthrax maculatus; and the mutillid wasp Ephutomorpha aff. varipes.
