Morphology: Apex of mandible with two teeth, mandible below with 6 pale setae, as long as mandibular diameter. Labrum medially deeply emarginate, ACM slightly rounded, clypeus finely crosswise striae. Frons below scape deeply impressed, with small spine, crosswise striate.

Large (cross-ribbed) part of notauli short, ending at the top at the end of the arch of the mesonotum, pronlonged by a thin line until mid-mesonotum. Mesonotum apically with triangular impression, including 3 rugae. Base of scutellum with deep furrow, also distinctly fielded.

Few coarser punctures near margin with extremely short seta. Surface of pronotum smooth and shiny, but directly behind anterior margin distinctly reticulated and matt. Disc with one large ill-defined, brownish spot; anterior margin appearing dark brownish because dark vertex of head shining through. +E l y t r a: In dorsal view lateral margin of elytron visible only near elytral base and before apex because else sides of elytra turned inwards. Epipleural rim in lateral view weakly ascending towards humeral angle. Surface smooth in anterior two thirds, behind reticulated, but not distinctly matt. Punctation double; coarse punctures interspersed with small punctures; coarse punctures progressively becoming more numerous posteriad, but near apex punctures smaller. Each elytron in anterior half with two indistinct puncture lines, which coincide more or less with second and fourth vittae; in anterior quarter between fifth vitta and elytral margin some larger punctures indicating a third line; no sutural line perceptible. Most coarser punctures with very short seta, almost imperceptible on disc, otherwise slightly longer; in posterior half a very few punctures with a longer seta; however, generally setation only well visible if adequately illuminated. Each elytron with suture, four discal vittae, a lateral and a submarginal vitta blackish; elytral base medially with blackish stripe. Second vitta reaching base, fourth vitta ending just before base, first and third vittae ending far before base; lateral vitta short, only present in anterior half, and ending far before base; submarginal vitta present only in posterior half, more or less parallel to elytral margin, reaching until apex, and here fused with sutural line. First, second and third vittae fused just before apex, third and fourth vittae short behind midlength of elytra. + +V e n t r a l s u r f a c e: Head, prosternum, epipleura and legs light brownish, metaventrite and abdomen predominantly black; metacoxal processes apically, neighbouring small parts of metacoxal plates, first abdominal ventrite, hind margins of third to fifth abdominal ventrites and sixth abdominal ventrite apically shining through brownish. Almost entire venter reticulated, only slightly shining, but not distinctly matt; metaventrite medially without reticulation and here more shiny; small brownish parts of metacoxal plates neighbouring apex of metacoxal processes smooth and shiny. Punctation on metacoxal plates and metaventrite distinct; on metaventrite punctures somewhat larger; punctures absent in small posterior part of metacoxal plates and on areas right and left of medial part of metaventrite; medial part of metaventrite with irregular lines of small punctures; metacoxal processes with sparse small punctures. Abdominal ventrites generally punctured; punctures progressively becoming smaller to last ventrite; second and third ventrites medially fused and here with only very few small punctures. Third to fifth ventrites medially with few densely arranged punctures, these with long and backwardly directed setae. Prosternal process ( +Fig. 2 +) lanceolate, longitudinally carinate, with tectiform cross section; apex rounded, sides slightly flattened and here with some punctures, lateral margin rimmed (for comparison see flat process of +H +. + +( +L +.) +orthogrammus + +in +Fig. 3 +); prosternal column coarsely punctured with small transverse elevation between anterior coxae; medial part of prosternum (before column) vaulted and very coarsely sculptured. Epipleura in anterior third more or less as broad as apex of mesotibia, with some punctures and extremely weak reticulation; evenly narrowed behind; humeral part of epipleura with oblique carina delimiting genicular fossa; carina forming with epipleural rim an angle of about 25° (see details in +VILLASTRIGO et al.

Medial part of median lobe in lateral view significantly thinner (see arrow in +Fig. 14 +) than in other two species (compare +Figs 16 and 18 +); corrugated membrane (see FOSTER & ANGUS (1985: 8)) extending less far distally (compare +Figs 13, 15 and 17 +); for comparison of parameres see +Figs 20 and 21. + + +M e a s u r e m e n t s: TL: +3.7–4.25 mm +, MW: +1.8–2.2 mm +, TL/MW: 1.93–2.01 ( +holotype +: TL: +3.9 mm +, MW: +1.95 mm +, TL/MW: 2.00). + +V a r i a b i l i t y: The variation of external morphological characters of the specimens studied is scanty. Worth mentioning are only: the spots on head and pronotum and the elytral vittae can be more blackish; the degree of fusion of the elytral vittae can vary; the small brownish parts on metathorax and abdomen can be darker or even black; the areas with coarser punctures on pronotum can be extended more mediad. The variation in the shape of the median lobe is small, but in some specimens the corrugated membrane extends a little more distally (ventral view). The variation in the shape of the parameres is somewhat greater, particularly because the distal part may be slightly curved inward.

M. Jacobs, coll. Biologiezentrum Linz. + + + + +D i a g n o s i s: + +Andrena floridula + +was described from Drás [= Dras], Kárgil [Kargil], and Leh in Ladakh ( +SMITH 1878: 2 +). It was described only in the male sex, with the flight period given as August-September. +GUSENLEITNER & SCHWARZ (2002) +gave the +type +depository as the NHMUK, but no specimens or record of + +A. floridula + +could be found there. Donald Baker (unpublished Phd thesis) suggested that +type +material could be in the Zoological Survey of +India +collection in Kolkata which is currently unavailable for study. In any case, although the female was not previously known, the contemporary specimen from Leh is unmistakably + +A. floridula + +based on the description, illustration ( +SMITH 1878 +: figure 4, as + +A. floricula + +sic), collecting locality, and flight period. + + +Although Smith writes that the specimens he described were males ("Mas.-"), the specimen pictured in his figure 4 actually appears to be a female, as there appear to be scopal hairs present on the hind tibiae. In any case, the specimen matches the description with regards to the key criteria which are that the hind legs are covered with silvery pubescence ( +Fig. 42 +) and the ovate metasoma has the apical margins testaceous with a thin fringe of whitish pubescence ( +Fig. 43 +). Indeed, the terga have not only their margins lightened white-hyaline, but the transitional area between the margin and the tergal discs is lightened dark orange-red. + + +Examination of this contemporary specimen shows that it presents an unusual combination of characters that defies classification within the existing subgeneric system. The facial foveae are relatively narrow and impressed ( +Figs 37; 39 +), slightly narrowing ventrally (but not as clearly as in members of the subgenus + +Euandrena +HEDICKE, 1933 + +), the head is almost round in frontal view (only 1.1 times wider than long, +Fig. 37 +), the ocelloccipital distance exceeds two times the diameter of a lateral ocellus ( +Fig. 39 +), with the vertex itself being clearly depressed at the meeting point with the two lateral ocelli (similar to the condition in the subgenus + +Oreomelissa +HIRASHIMA & TADAUCHI, 1975 + +and allied subgenera), the head and mesosoma show weak metallic green reflections ( +Figs 37; 39- 40 +), the propodeal triangle is poorly delineated but weak lateral carinae and some raised rugae are present laterally and basally ( +Fig. 41 +), the scopal hairs are weakly plumose on the hind femorae and less so on the hind tibiae ( +Fig. 42 +), and there are no other distinctive characters. Without available male specimens (as the genital capsule is unknown) or any genetic data, it is not possible to confidently place the species within a subgenus. + + +D e s c r i p t i o n. Female. Body length: +9 mm +( +Fig. 36 +). Head: Dark, 1.1 times wider than long ( +Fig. 37 +), integument with weak metallic green reflections most visible on gena and vertex. Clypeus weakly domed, irregularly punctate, punctures basally and laterally separated by 0.5 puncture diameters, medially becoming scattered, separated by 1-3 puncture dimeters, underlying surface polished and shining. Process of labrum broadly trapezoidal, 2 times wider than long, apical margin with extremely deep rounded emargination, emargination reaching ½ of visible length ( +Fig. 38 +). Gena slightly exceeding width of compound eye; ocelloccipital distance 2 times diameter of lateral ocellus ( +Fig. 39 +); vertex slightly but distinctly depressed at level of posterior margin of lateral ocelli. Foveae dorsally occupying slightly less than ½ space between lateral ocellus and compound eye, narrowly slightly ventrally, ventrally extending to slightly below lower margin of antennal insertions; foveae filled with light brown hairs. Face, gena, vertex, and scape covered with pale whitish pubescence. Antennae basally dark, A4-12 ventrally lightened by presence of brownish scales; A3 slightly exceeding A4+5, shorter than A4+5+6. + + +Mesosoma: Scutum predominantly polished and shining, weakly shagreened anteriorly, surface irregularly punctate, punctures separated by 0.5-2 puncture diameters; surface with subtle metallic reflections laterally; scutellum more strongly polished and shining and more sparsely punctate, punctures separated by 0.5-4 puncture diameters ( +Fig. 40 +). Pronotum with weak but distinct humeral angle, humeral angle with longitudinal carina. Mesepisternum and dorsolateral parts of propodeum microreticulate, dull, microreticulation overlain by raised network of rugosity; propodeal triangle laterally delineated by fine carina, internal surface slightly depressed, covered with fine network of raised carinae over majority of surface ( +Fig. 41 +). Mesosoma covered with pale hairs, not exceeding length of scape. Propodeal corbicula incomplete, dorsal fringe composed of long plumose pale hairs, internal surface with abundant plumose pale hairs. Legs dark, pubescence light brown. Flocculus complete, strongly produced, composed of white plumose hairs; femoral and tibial scopae composed of bright white-silvery hairs, hairs of femoral scopae somewhat plumose, hairs of tibial scopae obscurely plumose ( +Fig. 42 +). Hind tarsal claws with small inner tooth. Wings hyaline, stigma and venation dark brown, nervulus weakly antefurcal. + + +Metasoma: Tergal discs dark, marginal areas broadly lightened hyaline orange-brown, apical rims lightened hyaline whitish ( +Fig. 43 +). Tergal discs polished and shining, irregularly punctate, punctures separated by 0.5-3 puncture diameters, most dense basally, becoming weaker apically onto tergal margins. Tergal discs with scattered pale pubescence, tergal margins with pubescence longer and forming distinct hairbands on T2- 4, weakly interrupted on T2, complete on T3-4, obscuring underlying surface laterally. Apical fringe of T5 and hairs flanking pygidial plate orange-brown. Pygidial plate rounded triangular, lateral margins slightly raised, internal surface flat and dull, featureless. + + +D i s t r i b u t i o n: +India +(Ladakh) ( +SMITH 1878 +). + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/E9/0A/87/E90A87C30B4DFFE31785FE9FFA439C57.xml b/data/E9/0A/87/E90A87C30B4DFFE31785FE9FFA439C57.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..012eb847439 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/E9/0A/87/E90A87C30B4DFFE31785FE9FFA439C57.xml @@ -0,0 +1,179 @@ + + + +Unusual Andrena species from the high mountains of Ladakh (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae) + + + +Author + +Wood, Thomas + + + +Author + +Jacobs, Maarten + +text + + +Linzer biologische Beiträge + + +2024 + +56 + + +1 + + +347 +363 + + + +journal article +10.5281/zenodo.14681691 +0253-116X +14681691 + + + + + + + +Andrena +( +Hoplandrena +) +mordax +MORAWITZ + +, +1876 + + +( +Figs 18-19 +; +22-27 +) + + + + + +M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: +Afghanistan +: +GrosserPamir +, +Issiktal +[Isikmountain, Isik, Wakhan Corridor], + +3500 m + +, + +18-25.viii.1975 + +, +9♀ +, leg. +H.
