Besides, there is a geographical isolation between these two species: + +E. longwai + + +sp. nov. + +is distributed only in the Dabie mountain ranges, and + +E. ningshana + +is distributed in the Qingling and Taihangshan mountain ranges. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/EB/87/03EB87D8FFC59C4B56FFFCD9FDE4FD92.xml b/data/03/EB/87/03EB87D8FFC59C4B56FFFCD9FDE4FD92.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..bba6cdbb2e4 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/EB/87/03EB87D8FFC59C4B56FFFCD9FDE4FD92.xml @@ -0,0 +1,282 @@ + + + +Revision of the antlion genus Epacanthaclisis Okamoto, 1910 (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae: Dendroleontinae) + + + +Author + +Zheng, Yuchen +0000-0003-2397-2008 +State Key Laboratory of Animal Biodiversity Conservation and Integrated Pest Management, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China. & Department of Entomology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China. zhengyuchenantlion @ gmail. com; https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0003 - 2397 - 2008 +zhengyuchenantlion@gmail.com + + + +Author + +Badano, Davide +0000-0001-9715-3107 +Department of Life Sciences, University of Siena, Via Aldo Moro 2, I- 53100 Siena, Italy. https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0001 - 9715 - 3107 + + + +Author + +Aspöck, Ulrike +0000-00031912-2609 +Department of Evolutionary Biology, University of Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria / Zoological Department II, Natural History Museum of Vienna, 1010 Vienna, Austria. https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 00031912 - 2609 + + + +Author + +Aspöck, Horst +0000-00019407-3566 +Institute of Specific Prophylaxis and Tropical Medicine, Medical Parasitology, Medical University of Vienna (MUW), 1090 Vienna, Austria. https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0001 9407 - 3566 + + + +Author + +Hayashi, Fumio +0000-0003-4465-5060 +Department of Biology, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Minamiosawa 1 - 1, Hachioji, Tokyo 192 - 0397, Japan. fhayashi @ tmu. ac. jp; https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0003 - 4465 - 5060 * Corresponding author: xingyue _ liu @ yahoo. com; https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0002 - 9168 - 0659 +fhayashi@tmu.ac.jp + + + +Author + +Liu, Xingyue +State Key Laboratory of Animal Biodiversity Conservation and Integrated Pest Management, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China. + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-07-01 + + +5657 + + +1 + + +1 +100 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5657.1.1 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5657.1.1 +1175-5334 +01A734E6-8A47-4856-A7C2-734CC78E51B6 + + + + + + + +Epacanthaclisis wuchaoi +Zheng, Badano & Liu + +sp. nov. + + + + + + +( +Figs. 1A +, +24A +, +36 +) + + + + +Diagnosis.

The proboscis is proportionally larger than that of congeneric species (except for the specimens of + +L. peresi + +collected by Dr M.

The other specimen’s copulatory organ (from Cerbère; HU XXIII.3.03) is notably larger, with a prostate stylet of 115 µm and an accessory stylet of 64 µm. For now, these outliers are excluded from the diagnosis listed above.

Eyepatch linear, consisting of four small, black ommatidia ( +Fig. 1 +). With the characters of the genus. Male first legpair incrassate, femora each with two twisted blade-like macrosetae, single similar macrosetae on postfemora, tarsi with ventral combs of 5–8 short setae ( +t1 +, +Fig. 2 +). Male second legs with gonapophyses ( +ga +, +Figs 2, 3 +) shorter than femora, anteriorly hooked, densely set with long, thin curling setae. Opening of +vas deferens +or possible accessory pore not observed; telopodites not greatly reduced, without specialized setae ( +t2 +, +Fig. 2 +). Male third leg coxae ( +cx3 +, +Fig. 4 +) with low, short distal lobe with many recumbent, curled setae ( +cl +, +Fig. 4 +); telopodites not reduced, femora slightly depressed ventrally, otherwise unmodified ( +t3 +, +Fig. 4 +). Legpairs 4–7 not incrassate. Gonopods in anterior view ( +Fig. 5 +) with coxae, sternum and angiocoxites of each side fused ( +cxs +, +Fig. 5 +), angiocoxites narrow. In posterior view ( +Figs 6 +, +11 +), angiocoxites distally broadly expanded, with three divisions: the posteriormost membranous and set with many fine cuticular filaments; the next anterior extending at right angles, with an acute basal branch and hooked apex; the most anterior rounded lobes with cuticular filaments ( +ac +, +Figs 5, 6 +, +11 +). Colpocoxites long, narrow, poorly sclerotized ( +cc +, +Figs 5, 6 +, +11 +). Ninth leg coxae ( +cx9 +, +Fig. 7 +) with large distal processes ( +cp +, +Fig. 7 +), slightly twisted and bifid apically, gland openings at bases of processes ( +g +, +Fig. 7 +); telopodites single-articled, not exceeding coxal processes, laterally flattened, setose ( +t9 +, +Fig. 7 +).

The minute size of its species (ca +5 mm +) separates + +Benlomondia + +from other +Caseyidae +, which are larger than +8 mm +in length, except for + +Martenseya minutocaeca +Shear, 2021 + +, but that species is eyeless while + +Benlomondia +species + +have black, pigmented ommatidia. From members of the subfamily +Ochrogrammatinae +, + +Benlomondia + +is distinct in lacking broad lamellae projecting from the male mandibular stipes, and from species of + +Caseya +Cook & Collins, 1895 + +, in the male seventh coxae without modifications or processes. The status of the genus + +Speoseya +Causey, 1963 + +, is presently unclear, but that single species is twice the size of either of the two species of + +Benlomondia +. + +Additionally, the new genus is distinct from the related genus + +Opiona +Chamberlin, 1952 + +, in several characters of the gonopods. In + +Benlomondia + +the sterna, coxae and angiocoxites of the gonopods are fused into single units on each side, and the angiocoxites, while separated left from right, are so tightly appressed in the midline that they are functionally one structure. While some species of + +Opiona + +have the distal elements of the gonopods arising from a coxosternum, in no case are these distal elements also part of the gonopod complex, and no species are known in which the angiocoxites are closely appressed. + +Benlomondia +species + +gonopods also lack flagellocoxites, present in nearly all + +Opiona +species + +, nor have vestigial articulated telopodites, a feature of more than half the species of + +Opiona + +. The ninth legs of + +Benlomondia + +have reduced telopodites which are laterally flattened, unlike the inflated button-shaped telopodites of + +Opiona +species. + +The long coxal lobes, strongly reduced and modified telopodites of the third male legs characteristic of species of + +Opiona + +, are not seen in + +Benlomondia +. + + + + + +Etymology +. The name of the new genus is feminine in gender and refers to the community of Ben Lomond, +California +, +type +locality of the +type +species. + + + + +Description +. Tiny caseyid millipedes (< +5 mm +long) with 30 postcephalic rings. Trunk tapering evenly anteriorly and posteriorly. Rings without shoulders or paranota, smooth and shining. Unpigmented except for faint grayish mottling on anterior end of some individuals. Head ( +Fig. 1 +) with three or four black ommatidia on each side. Metazonites with few faint ventrolateral striae. Segmental setae in a straight posterior row, acute. Male mandibles not modified. First legpair of males incrassate, with one or two swordlike, slightly twisted macrosetae on femora and postfemora; tarsus with ventral comb of modified setae ( +Fig. 2 +). Second legpair of males reduced, coxae with short, curved gonapophyses densely set with long, curled setae ( +Figs 2, 3 +). Coxae of third legpair of males with short distal lobes, densely set with recumbent, curved setae and single long, acute terminal seta; telopodites slightly reduced, prefemora not enlarged and flattened ( +Figs 4 +, +10 +). Legpairs four to seven unmodified, hardly enlarged. Gonopod complex ( +Figs 5, 6 +, +9 +) consisting of sternum, coxa and angiocoxite fused on each side with angiocoxites tightly appressed to each other in midline; distally angiocoxites with complex branches and fine, unsocketed cuticular filaments posteriorly. Colpocoxites elongate, poorly sclerotized. Ninth legpair ( +Figs 7, 9 +) with telopodites and coxal processes roughly equal in size, coxal processes broad, curved, with pore at the base. Telopodites of a single podomere, laterally flattened, setose. Tenth legpair with enlarged coxae having anteriorly opening glands, coxae without posteriorly directed processes. + + +Notes +. While the pregonopodal leg modifications of the two species of + +Benlomondia + +resemble those of species of + +Opiona +, + +they are much less obvious. The gonapophyses of the male second legs are shorter than the femora; the telopodites of almost normal size, with the typical five postcoxal podomeres. The male third legs of + +Opiona +species + +have very elongate projecting coxal lobes, with a strongly reduced telopodite attached about in the midlength of the lobes or even more distally. The femora of the third leg telopodites are typically expanded and flattened. + +Benlomondia +species + +do not have such elongate coxal lobes and the attachment of an unreduced telopodite is more basal; the telopodite femora are cylindrical, not expanded or flattened. The tenth legpair coxae of + +Opiona +species + +have hooked processes, which are absent in + +Benlomondia +species. + +The lesser modifications seen in + +Benlomondia +species + +may be associated with the unusually small size of the animals. + + + + \ No newline at end of file
