Polyplectropus Species (Trichoptera: Polycentropodidae) From China, With Consideration Of Their Phylogeny, Youwen J. Li, John C. Morse Sep 1997

Polyplectropus Species (Trichoptera: Polycentropodidae) From China, With Consideration Of Their Phylogeny, Youwen J. Li, John C. Morse

Insecta Mundi

Six species of the genus Polyplectropus are recorded from the People’s Republic of China. All the species are new to science. A key to the males is given. The larva of Polyplectropus nanjingensis sp. nov. is illustrated. The phylogenetic relationships among these species and with Polyplectropus species of the New World are discussed.


Tinodes Species (Trichoptera: Psychomyiidae) From The People's Republic Of China, Youwen J. Li, John C. Morse Sep 1997

Tinodes Species (Trichoptera: Psychomyiidae) From The People's Republic Of China, Youwen J. Li, John C. Morse

Insecta Mundi

Five species of the genus Tinodes from the People’s Republic of China are described and re-described, among which four species are new to science. A key to males of all five species and a key to females of two species are given.


The Paduniella (Trichoptera: Psychomyiidae) Of China, With A Phylogeny Of The World Species, Youwen J. Li, John C. Morse Sep 1997

The Paduniella (Trichoptera: Psychomyiidae) Of China, With A Phylogeny Of The World Species, Youwen J. Li, John C. Morse

Insecta Mundi

The phylogenetic relationships of the species of Paduniella are analyzed based on characters of larvae, pupae, and adults (mainly male genitalia). The genus is monophyletic and most closely related to Psychomyia, and Metalype in the subfamily Psychomyiinae. Nine species groups are suggested. Eight species including six new to science are reported from the People’s Republic of China for the first time.


Two New Species Of The Aquatic Beetle Genus Macrelmis Motschulsky From Venezuela (Coleoptera: Elmidae: Elminae), Paul J. Spangler Mar 1997

Two New Species Of The Aquatic Beetle Genus Macrelmis Motschulsky From Venezuela (Coleoptera: Elmidae: Elminae), Paul J. Spangler

Insecta Mundi

Two new species collected in northwestern Venezuela, Macrelmis milleri and M. hayekae, are described and illustrated by line drawings and scanning electron micrographs. Both species are assigned to the new species group Macrelmis milleri,and characters of the new species group are described. A key to the species of the group is given.


New And Old Species Of Ommatius Wiedemann (Diptera: Asilidae) From Hispaniola, A. G. Scarbrough Mar 1997

New And Old Species Of Ommatius Wiedemann (Diptera: Asilidae) From Hispaniola, A. G. Scarbrough

Insecta Mundi

Four new species of Ommatius Wiedemann, the female of 0. stramineus Scarbrough, and the male of 0. nigellus Scarbrough from Hispaniola are described. A lectotype for O. gwenae Scarbrough and a neotype for 0. cinnamomeus are selected. Notes of previously named species, new records, illustrations of terminalia, and a key to the species are included.
