There was no indication of the number of specimens involved for any of the species, nor any indication that they were deposited in any reference collection. Three of the species were members of the Terebrantia. One of these was considered a new genus in a new family – + +Paulus +Solowiow + +in the Paulidae. This genus is now considered a synonym of + +Thrips + +, and the only species included, + +P. gracilis +Solowiow (1924) + +, remains a senior homonym of the North American + +Thrips gracilis +Moulton (1936) + +. The second Solowiow Terebrantian species, + +Thrips dentatus + +, remains an unrecognizable species of genus + +Thrips + +. However, the first Solowiow species was listed under the heading “Genus + +Limothrips +Hal. + +”, with the only information about this new species being the following words: “Fühler ohne dreieckigen Zusatz auf 2. und 3. Glied. Der ganze Körper und Zusätze sind der färbe nach gleichmässig hellgelb; die Zwischenräume der Abdomenringe sehr hell, durchsichtig“. Thus, all that the reader can know about this insect is that the body is pale yellow with the abdominal intersegmental membranes translucent, and that the second and third antennal segments do not have any lateral protrusions. The yellow body and lack of lateral projections on the basal antennal segments indicate that this is not a species of the genus + +Limothrips + +. But there is nothing in this description to even confirm that Solowiow actually had a species of Thysanopteran in front of him. Under these circumstances, it is here formally proposed that the name + +Limothrips clarus +Solowiow, 1924 + +be considered a +nomen dubium +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/97/CC/0397CC0FFFFFE10F8684FB9CFD62F8DA.xml b/data/03/97/CC/0397CC0FFFFFE10F8684FB9CFD62F8DA.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..1ad3c2953ef --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/97/CC/0397CC0FFFFFE10F8684FB9CFD62F8DA.xml @@ -0,0 +1,126 @@ + + + +Two enigmatic species epithets in the genus Limothrips (Thysanoptera, Thripinae) + + + +Author + +Mound, Laurence A. +Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO, PO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601 + + + +Author + +Negis, Inci Şahin +Plant Protection Department, Agricultural Faculty, Selçuk University, 42030, Konya, Turkiye + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2024 + +2024-09-23 + + +5512 + + +4 + + +597 +598 + + + + +http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5512.4.9 + +journal article +303895 +10.11646/zootaxa.5512.4.9 +72f2745e-0768-4ee3-a36d-30722479d98f +1175-5326 +13849274 +139BAC65-BDDC-4C62-B6CA-CDD7831F4EBB + + + + + + + +Limothrips serotina +Targioni-Tozzetti, 1891 + + + + + + + +This species was described by Targioni-Tozzetti in his book on the animals and insects associated with tobacco plants. At the time of this description the generic classification of the insect Order +Thysanoptera +was that provided by +Amyot & Serville (1843) +and derived both from +Linnaeus (1758) +and +Haliday (1836) +, as summarised by +Mound (2024) +. That classification provided a total of 13 available genera, three of Tubulifera and 10 of Terebrantia. However, the character states that Targioni-Tozzetti provides to support his opinion that his new species represented a member of the Terebrantian genus + +Limothrips + +are far from clear. The single specimen that he selected to illustrate had damaged antennae, but it is evident from his words that he had more than one individual, including pupae that he referred to as winged nymphs. But there is no indication that these specimens were ever deposited anywhere. The author’s statement that the head is cuboid, wider than long, precludes the species from being a member of + +Limothrips + +, because all known species of this genus have the head longer than wide. Manfred Ulitzka drew our attention to the fore wing description and illustration, which suggest that both longitudinal veins bore complete rows of evenly spaced setae. This could be interpreted as indicating that + +serotina + +is a member of the genus + +Frankliniella + +, such as the common European species + +Fr. intonsa + +. However, that species has five pairs of long setae on the pronotum, whereas + +serotina + +is described as having a short, transverse pronotum, and illustrated with only a single pair of prominent setae. An alternative interpretation is based on the statement by TargioneTozzetti that the three ocelli on the head are “chiari” – that is “clear”. This is an unusual condition for ocelli amongst Terebrantia, in which ocelli are usually surrounded by pigment that is red or brown in colour. In contrast, adults of + +Thrips tabaci + +that occurs commonly on tobacco in the Mediterranean area, are particularly unusual in having the circum-ocellar region on the head unpigmented. This character state of “clear ocelli”, together with how frequently + +tabaci + +is found on the leaves of tobacco in the area, suggest that + +Limothrips serotina +Targioni-Tozzetti + +is best regarded as a +new synonym +of the widespread pest species + +Thrips tabaci +Lindeman (1889) + +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/EF/87/03EF87CE46419B11FF3CFD36007A9C0F.xml b/data/03/EF/87/03EF87CE46419B11FF3CFD36007A9C0F.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..c7187a695ff --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/EF/87/03EF87CE46419B11FF3CFD36007A9C0F.xml @@ -0,0 +1,773 @@ + + + +Taxonomic Review of the Genus Didymocorypha Wood-Mason, 1877 (Mantodea: Eremiaphilidae) with description of a new species from India + + + +Author + +Kamila, A.
