Abstract.The higher classification of Tenebrionidae is analysed using numerical phenetic, numerical cladistic and traditional Hennigian methods. In all, eighty characters are examined for about 335 taxa; definitive analyses are made on combinations of eighteen to seventy characters for thirty‐three OTUs. At lower levels of relationship (genera and closely related tribes) phenetic and cladistic classifications are shown to be congruent, but at higher levels (tribes and subfamilies) there is marked discordance with phenetic results being more stable. A consensus classification is more similar to the Hennigian cladogram than is any single computer generated cladogram. Two main tribal groups – the Lagrioid and Tenebrionoid groups – are suggested which differ in defensive glands, female anatomy, wing and mouthpart morphology, larval characters and other features. The Tenebrionoid group consists of three main subdivisions – the tenebrionine, coelometopine and diaperine lineages. Changes in classificatory position are recommended for eighty‐seven genera and tribes (listed in Appendix E) and implied for numero

摘要:

Abstract.This paper is the second in a series designed to cover taxonomi‐cally all species‐groupsof Agra,whose cumulative ranges extend from southernmost Texas to northernmost Argentina. A clear understanding of their phylo‐geny and distribution may provide very good data with which to test recently proposed hypotheses of tropical species richness and endemism, particularly the forest refugium and flood‐zone hypothesis. New methods of description are used in the series to cover the several hundred species in less time and space, to provide a consistent numerical data base for those who choose to use it, and to use more efficiently and effectively the descriptive process.Four names are presented in new combinations:Agra baccii(Straneo),Agra platyscelis(Chaudoir),Agra guy anensis(Chaudoir) andAgra semiviridis(Straneo). All these species were originally placed inAgridia.One synonymy was detected;Agra clangorisLiebke is a junior synonymat A. guy anensis(Chaudoir).Sixteen new species ofAgraare described from the following type‐localities:howdenorum(Simla, 5.0 miles north of Arima, Trinidad, West Indies),ecaligis(Rio Bobonanza, Mentalva, Ecuador),yodella(Gourdonville, French Guiana),limulus(Tarapoto, Peru),tumatumari(Rio Potaro, Tumatumari, Guyana),varzeicola(Parana Costa da Ilha de Curari (Rio Solimoes), Amazonas, Brazil),ariasi(Reserva Ducke, 26.0 km northeast of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil),oliven‐cana(Sao Paulo d'Olivenija, Amazonas, Brazil),iquitosana(Iquitos, Peru),tarapotoana(Tarapoto, Peru),titan(type area ‐ French Guiana),seabrae(Mangabeira, near Mocajuba, Para, Brazil),caliga(Barro Colorado Island, Canal Zone, Republic of Panama),yeti(Rosario Oeste, Minas Gerais, Brazil),sasquatch(Bele'm, Para, Brazil),azureipennis(type area – Northern Venezuela). Twenty‐one species arrayed in three subgroups are fully discussed. Their cumulative range extends from Panama south to Bolivia, east to the mouth of the Amazon River and north along the coast of the Guyanas; most species are very locally distributed. A dot map illustrates the range of each taxon.Distribution and relationships are discussed in general, but detailed cladistic analysis is deferred until taxonomy of the five groups of SectionErythropusis completed. Species distributions correspond to pleistocene refuges suggested by other authors based on other cla

Abstract.Adults, larvae and galls ofFergusonina syzygiisp.n. are described and illustrated from material collected on jaman plum,Syzygium cumini(L.), at Hyderabad (A.P.), India, by R. C. Joshi in 1978–79. This seems to be the first record of a fergusoninid fly outside Australia and on a host plant other thanEucalyptus.The symbiotic nematode,FergusobiaCurrie, was present in galls ofF.syzygiiand is also recorded outside Australia for the first tim

摘要:

Abstract. The Holarctic genusParaclemensiaBusck, 1904, is revised and eight species are recognized:cyanella(Zeller) [=europaeaDavis] (Europe),caemlea(Issiki) comb.n. (Japan),viridissp.n. (Japan),oligospinasp.n. (Japan),cyaneasp.n. (Japan),acerifoliella(Fitch) [=hiteiceps(Walker); =iridella(Chambers)] (U.S.A. and Canada),incerta(Christoph) comb.n. (Siberia and Japan) andmonospinasp.n. (Japan). The monophyly of the genus is demonstrated and the phylogeny and biogeography of the species are discussed.P. acerifoliellafrom North America is regarded as most closely related to two of the eastern Palaearctic species,incertaandmonospina.A key to species is provided, and adults and male and female genitalia are described and illustrated (or references are given to illustrations published elsewhere). Three lectotypes are designated. The genus‐group name ‡TschabiaIssiki is demonstrated to be nomenclaturally unavaila
