Abstract.The species ofGymnophoraMacquart of the Holarctic Region are revised and twelve species, including four new to science, are recognized. A phylogenetic hypothesis is presented and some speculations are made on the geographic history of the genus. TheGymnophora carina‐group containingG. carinanew species andG.mul‐tipinnaculanew species, is considered to be the sister group to theGymnophora quartomollis‐groupof species. TheG.quartomollis‐gionpconsists of theG.nigripennis‐subgroup, containingG.fastigiorumSchmitz,G.nigripennisSchmitz andG.quartomollisSchmitz, and the G.arcwata‐subgroup of species, containingG.arcuata(Meigen),G.integrateSchmitz,G.luteiventrisSchmitz,G.subarcuataSchmitz,G.healeyaeDisney,G.marshallinew species andG.taleanew species. No male specimens ofG.lapidicolaorverrucatawere located, hence the phylogenetic relationships of these species are not hypothesized. Male and female terminalia and other taxonomically useful characters are illustrated, and the larva ofG.luteiventrisis described, the first published description of the larva of

摘要:

Abstract.Very few taxonomic studies have been carried out onAnopheles quadriannulatusTheobald, a member of theAn.gambiaeGiles group of mosquitoes. In this paper a description of the adult, and full setal counts of the larva and pupa are given. Comparisons are made with the few published data on the morphology of this species.

摘要:

Abstract.Archaeochlus, a plesiomorphic genus of Podonominae (Chironomidae), is revised and two new species(bikofrom Namibia andbrundinifrom southwestern Australia) described. The systematic status of the genus and the tribe Boreochlini is reassessed. Biogeographic evidence, sustained by a fossil record, dates the genus at least to the Upper Jurassic. The ecology of early Chironomidae is suggested to be eurythermic and hygropetric rather than cold stenothermic in lotic waters.

摘要:

Abstract.The morphology and chaetotaxy of the first instar larvae of six species belonging to the generaHipparchia, KanetisaandChazaraare described. Specific characters are stated, drawn mainly from size, setal length and morphology, and the shape of the suranal plate. Several characters, other than chaetotaxy, that are of potential use in nymphalid systematics are discussed. The larval chaetotaxy is briefly compared with that of both heliconiine and danaine first instar larvae.

摘要:

Abstract.The genusGlaresisdoes not share any demonstrable apomorphs with any other group of Scarabaeoidea. Detailed examination of twelve adult characters and their comparison with those in all the primitive Scarabaeoidea resulted in a well‐defined genus that is primitive in virtually all its characters. It is concluded thatGlaresislies near the base of the ancestral stock from which most scarabaeoids evolved. Since the genus cannot be accommodated in an existing higher taxon we propose that the monotypic tribe Glaresini Semenov&Medvedev (the genusAfroglaresisPetrovitz is here synonymized withGlaresis), be accorded family statu

摘要:

Abstract.The genusBithecais described for a distinctive clade of small Limosininae whose range extends from Canada south to Ecuador. The following twelve species are described as new:agarica, boleta, caballa, dispar, ejuncida, fundata, grossa, horrida, involuta, jubilata, kappaandlambda.A key to the species ofBithecais provided and their phylogeny is discussed.Pterogramma steyskaliDeeming andMinilimosina masoniMarshall are moved into the genusBitheca.A cladogram is provided and its derivation explained in detail, with a discussion of the use of character weighting in cladistics.

摘要:

Abstract.The virtually unknown monotypic genusNeophonusFauvel has been collected in several localities in south‐central Chile; it was previously known only from the type locality in Argentina. Field observations of the adults on forest foliage and study of their gut contents suggest that they are mycophagous and eat primarily foliicolous fungi, a habit previously unknown in Staphylinidae. Their mouthparts and tarsi show morphological specializations apparently correlated with these habits. Larvae remain unknown. The phylogenetic relationships of the genus within the omaliine‐group of Staphylinidaesensu latoare discus
