General colour shiny black, with pale lemon-yellow markings as follows: S1 dorsally on its distal border with a large triangular spot, the apex of which extends mid-dorsally towards the synthorax, and inferolaterally yellow. S2 bears a mid-dorsal spindle-shaped spot, two lateral yellow vertical streaks, a rounded triangular one enclosing the auricle, and another C-shaped, caudally convex one towards the posterolateral border. Another small spot antero-inferior to the yellow spot enclosing the auricle. Auricle yellow, its medial cranial border and the entire caudal border bearing the spine bordered with black. S3–6 marked with basal rings that end just short of the lateral carinae, ring with a width less than one eighth the length of the segments with posterior border excavated mid-dorsally by the black carina, ofen giving an appearance of paired spots in dorsal view. Dorsum of S7 marked with two yellow rings occupying just less than its basal half, these rings separated by a very narrow black streak dorsolaterally ( +Fig. 2F +). The yellow rings are interrupted laterally and terminate well short of the lateral carina of S7. A pair of small triangular spots on the posterior paradorsal aspect of S7 ( +Fig. 2G +). S8–10 unmarked. + + +Anal appendages ( +Figs 2F–G +, +4C–E +). General colour of cerci white in life (yellow in preserved specimens) with black basally and epiprocts entirely black; a little less than the basal fifh of the cerci and with five to six, small, short, black teeth on its ventral side. Length of cerci a little longer than that of S +10 in +dorsal view. Cerci conical, divaricate and its lateral border slightly convex, medial border concave, and its tip pointed, directed posterolaterally. The whole surface bears short, bristlelike, brown setae. Lateral arms of the epiproct divaricate as the cerci, slightly shorter than the cerci, curved dorsolaterally, tips finely hooked. The whole surface bears blackish brown setae. + + +Secondary genitalia ( +Figs 4A–B, G–H +). Colour black, setae brown. Clef of anterior lamina (CAL) deep. Anterior hamule (AH) shorter than the posterior hamule in lateral view, long and narrow, flattened, with the tip rounded. Posterior hamule ( +PH +) with body broader than AH, tapering and curved uniformly towards its tip and directed anteromedially. Genital lobe (GL) slightly broader, but shorter than the +PH +, truncated, and its tip slightly curved anteriorly. The structure of the VS is illustrated in +Figures 4G, H +. The median segment (S3) of the vesica spermalis in lateral view has a long digitiform extension directed ventroposteriorly, glans (S4) trumpet-like, with its tip expanded in the shape of a water lily leaf ( +Fig. 4H +). + + +Variation in males + + +The metepisternum is black and marked usually with a thin yellow stripe, but this may be reduced to two serial small yellow spots on the posterodorsal aspect in well-marked specimens (one in four). The L-shaped extension of the antehumeral stripe may occasionally be discontinuous in some individuals, forming a separate spot, but is never absent. The numbers of black teeth under the cerci vary from four to eight and may even vary between sides in the same specimen. The usual pair of small triangular spots on the posterior paradorsal aspect of S7 ( +Fig. 2G +) may be absent in heavily marked individuals. Venation is consistent in males with no variation in triangles observed, the FW is entire, and the HW triangle is always traversed. + + +Description of female + + +( +Figs 3 +, +4F, I +, +5A–D +) + +The female morphology is very similar to that of the males, the major differences are discussed below. +Measurements (in mm) (n=4).

Subgenital plate (vulvar scale/vulvar lamina) is a pair of long triangular processes that almost reach the ventral half of the length of S8 ( +Figs 4F, I +). + + +Anal appendages ( +Figs 3D +, +4F +). General colour of cerci white and supra-anal plate black; cerci as long as S10, directed posteriorly, conical, tip with a small black tooth, the whole surface bearing white setae. + + +Variation in females + + +In females, the L-shaped extension of the antehumeral stripe may occasionally be disjunctive in some individuals but is never absent. The distal extension of the basal yellow annulus on S7 is sometimes reduced to a small triangular spot, but is always continuous with the basal annulus. The normal state of venation is non-traversed triangles in FW and traversed ones on HW ( +Figs 5A, C +), but occasionally the FW triangle may be traversed, too ( +1 in +4 females +, unilaterally) ( +Fig. 5B +) and the HW triangle may not be traversed ( +1 in +4 females +, unilaterally) ( +Fig. 5D +). Two of the +three females +caught had this abnormal venation in their triangles. In preservative, the cerci may take on a yellow colour, which is otherwise white in life in both sexes. + + + + +Distribution + + +The species is a mid-altitude one at between 400 and +900 m +a.s.l.

Female: sternite VIII apically without emargination; lateral tergal sclerites IX and tergite X as in male ( +Fig. 4h +); sternite IX consisting of pair of weakly sclerotised basal and pair of stronger sclerotised apical gonocoxites ( +Fig. 4i +). + +For distribution and bionomics see below species description. + + +Comparison. + + +Ruptor + +gen. nov. +is rather distinct among all known genera of +Paederinae +, including specialised termitophilous and myrmecophilous forms ( +Fig. 5 +), by its habitus alone. Its compact dorso-ventrally flattened body with short appendages, lack of tuberculose sculpture or carinae on forebody, and head with sharp posterior angles (in dorsal view) combined with transverse pronotum easily tell it apart from other, often poorly known, inquiline (or presumably so) +Lathrobiini +incertae sedis +genera, namely + +Bolbophites +Fauvel, 1904 + +, + +Ecitobium +Wasmann, 1923 + +, + +Ecitonides +Wasmann, 1894 + +( +Fig. 5a +), + +Ecitosaurus +Fischer, 1943 + +, ( +Fig. 5b +) + +Ecitotropis +Borgmeier, 1936 + +, + +Labidophites +Borgmeier, 1956 + +, + +Mimophites +Fauvel, 1904 + +( +Fig. 5c +), + +Synecitonides +Reichensperger, 1936 + +( +Fig. 5d +) and + +Monista +Sharp, 1876 + +( +Fig. 5e +). The new genus superficially resembles some species of the Neotropical +Lathrobiini +genera + +Attaxenus +Wasmann, 1925 + +, + +Paederopsis +Wasmann, 1912 + +or especially + +Dacnochilus +LeConte, 1861 + +, which presumably belong to the recently discovered + +Pseudolathra + +- +Cylindroxystina +lineage ( +Żyła et al. 2021 +). Within + +Dacnochilus + +, a widespread Neotropical genus that occasionally occurs in nests of termites and ants, + +Ruptor + +especially resembles + +D. atrus +Jiménez-Sánchez & Galián, 2013 + +[correct masculine form of the species name should be +ater +], + +D. compactus +(Casey, 1905) + +, + +D. horridulus +(Casey, 1905) + +, + +D. nahuiollinae +Jiménez-Sánchez & Galián, 2013 + +, + +D. newtoni +Jiménez-Sánchez & Galián, 2013 + +, or + +D. zaragozae +Jiménez-Sánchez & Galián, 2013 + +. However, it readily differs from them by a somewhat rugose (not glabrous) disc of head and pronotum, by the presence of ctenidium only on the posterior side of hind tibia, as well as by the longitudinal placement of the protibial combs. Also, + +Ruptor + +may distantly resemble members of the subgenus + +Eurysunius +Reitter, 1909 + +of the genus + +Astenus + +( +Astenina +). It differs from all +Astenina +at least by its simple not bilobed protarsomere 4, by its prosternum not being expanded under the front coxae and not fused with the pronotal hypomera, and by its short and stout mandibles. The new genus differs from all myrmecoand termitophilous +Pinophilini +and +Paederini +by having the typical for +Lathrobiini +small and unmodified apical (fourth) maxillary palpomere; it differs from the myrmecophilous members of +Scopaeina +by its larger labrum and lack of trichobothrium on the head; it differs from myrmecophilous +Stilicina +by the wider neck and the prosternum not being expanded under the front coxae and not being fused with the pronotal hypomera. + + + +Etymology: The genus name is a Latin noun of masculine gender meaning burglar or housebreaker. It refers to the social parasitism biology of this taxon which was found in the termite’s ‘house’. + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/E2/50/67/E2506715230CFF83FCBA02C6FD9C88A2.xml b/data/E2/50/67/E2506715230CFF83FCBA02C6FD9C88A2.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..82e30eab1b8 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/E2/50/67/E2506715230CFF83FCBA02C6FD9C88A2.xml @@ -0,0 +1,622 @@ + + + +A New Termitophilous Genus of Paederinae Rove Beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from the Neotropics and Its Phylogenetic Position + + + +Author + +Żyła, Dagmara +Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland & Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change, Zoological Museum, Hamburg, Germany +zyladagmara@gmail.com + + + +Author + +Bogri, Amalia +Natural History Museum of Denmark, Univ of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark + + + +Author + +Hansen, Aslak Kappel +Natural History Museum of Denmark, Univ of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark + + + +Author + +ShaW, Josh Jenkins +Natural History Museum of Denmark, Univ of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark & Key Laboratory of Zoological Systematics and Evolution, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China + + + +Author + +Kypke, Janina +Natural History Museum of Denmark, Univ of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark + + + +Author + +Solodovnikov, AleXey +Natural History Museum of Denmark, Univ of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark +asolodovnikov@snm.ku.dk + +text + + +Neotropical Entomology + + +2022 + +2022-02-17 + + +51 + + +2 + + +282 +291 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.1007/s13744-022-00946-x + +journal article +10.1007/s13744-022-00946-x +1678-8052 +PMC8967768 +35175510 +15557341 + + + + + +Ruptor cordatus + +sp. nov. + + + + + +Type material, +Holotype +: [card mounted, DNA extraction voucher]: + +, ‘ +PER17-19a +, +PERU +: +Amazonia +, +Loreto +region, +Maynas province +, +Allpahuayo-Mishana NP +, + +20 km +S + +of +Iquitos +, + +3.IX.2017 + +/ + +100–200 m + +, +3°57.812′S +73°25.142′W +, rainforest, in termite nest, leg. +A.

The termite host was confidently identified as a widespread + +Labiotermes labralis + +( +Figs. 1 +and +2 +), the only species in the genus that builds an arboreal nest ( +Constantino et al. 2006 +). Based on our sampling, we were able to find + +Ruptor cordatus + +sp. nov. +in roughly every fourth termite nest that was searched. All nests where + +Ruptor cordatus + +sp. nov. +was found were with winged termites, where also a number of other inquiline staphylinids (mostly +Aleocharinae +) were always encountered. + + + + + +Etymology + + +The scientific name of the new species is a Latin adjective that refers to the cordate shape of the head of the new species due to its characteristic notch in the middle of the hind margin of the head. + + + +Phylogenetic analyses + + +PartitionFinder found the following four partitions: (1) 28S + COI2 + ArgK2 + Wg2 + TP2 + CADC2 + CADA2 + COI1 + ArgK1 + CADC1 + CADA1 + Wg1 + TP1; (2) Wg3 + TP3 + ArgK3; (3) CADA3 + CADC3; (4) COI3. For partition 1, SYM + I + G was found to be the best-supported model, for partitions 2 and 3—GTR + I + G, and for partition 4—HKY + G. We moved 28S to a separate partition as this is the only non-protein-coding gene in our dataset and analysed it under the SYM + I + G model. The third codon positions of COI were excluded as it has been suggested that they suffer saturation for deep divergences, which can potentially bias phylogenetic analyses (e.g. +Swofford et al. 1996 +; +Lin and Danforth 2004 +). Since COI3 was excluded, no partition was analysed under the HKY + G model. + +The BI analysis reached convergence, with a standard deviation of split frequencies well below 0.01 after 10 million generations. Mixing of the Markov chain Monte Carlo chains was good, effective sample size (ESS) values were greater than 200 for all parameters indicating good mixing of the chains and the observed PSRF was 1.00. Convergence was also visualised in Tracer v1.7. + +The tree topology presented in +Fig. 6 +is the 50% majority rule consensus tree. The subfamily +Paederinae +was recovered as monophyletic with strong support (posterior probability PP=1) as well as +Paederini +, +Pinophilini +and +Lathrobiini +, its three currently recognised tribes (PP= +1 in +all cases). Within +Lathrobiini +, the first clade ( + +Dysanabatium +Bernhauer, 1915 + ++ ( + +Notobium +Solsky, 1864 + ++ + +Phanophilus +Sharp, 1886 + +)), all three genera currently classified in +Lathrobiina +, was well-supported (PP=1). The next clade ( + +Pseudolathra +Casey, 1905 + ++( + +Neolindus +Scheerpeltz, 1933 + ++ + +Cylindroxystus +Bierig, 1943 + +)) was the + +Pseudolathra + +- +Cylindroxystina +lineage recently discovered in +Żyła et al. (2021) +, which was well-supported here too (PP=0.99). The next resolved clade ( + +Tetartopeus +Czwalina, 1888 + ++( + +Lathrobium +Gravenhorst, 1802 + ++ ( + +Domene +Fauvel, 1873 + ++ ( + +Lobrathium +Mulsant & Rey, 1878 + ++ + +Platydomene +Ganglbauer, 1895 + +)))) was the so-called ‘true’ +Lathrobiina +(PP=1), recovered as sister to the ‘ +Medonina +and allied taxa’ clade (sensu +Żyła et al. 2019 +) with weak support (PP = 0.84). Within the ‘ +Medonina +and allied taxa’ clade, the clade ( + +Enallagium +Bernhauer, 1915 + +[ +Lathrobiina +] + ( + +Scopaeus +Erichson, 1839 + +[ +Scopaeina +] + unidentified specimen of a +Medonina +from the Far East +Russia +)) branched off first with strong support (PP= 1). The subtribe +Medonina +was recovered as non-monophyletic, where its bigger fraction formed a group largely paraphyletic with respect to other subtribes in this clade, i.e. +Scopaeina +, +Stilicina +, +Astenina +, +Stilicopsina +and +Echiasterina +. + +Rugilus +Leach, 1819 + ++ + +Stilicoderus +Sharp, 1889 + +(both +Stilicina +) and + +Eustilicus +Sharp, 1886 + +( +Stilicina +)+ + +Thinocharis +Kraatz, 1859 + +( +Medonina +) were altogether recovered as a strongly supported clade (PP=1). + +Dibelonetes +Sahlberg, 1847 + +and + +Stilicopsis +Sachse, 1852 + +(both +Stilicopsina +), as well as + +Echiaster +Erichson, 1839 + +and + +Ronetus +Blackwelder, 1943 + +(both +Echiasterina +) were resolved as monophyletic clades (PP= +1 in +both cases), with +Stilicopsina +sister to + +Astenus +Dejean, 1833 + +( +Astenina +) (PP=0.85). Our new genus was recovered as deeply nested within the ‘ +Medonina +and allied taxa’ clade.
