A review of Antillocladius Saether and Litocladius Mendes, Andersen et Saether, with the description of two new Neotropical genera (Diptera, Chironomidae, Orthocladiinae) Author Mendes, Humberto Fonseca Author Andersen, Trond text Zootaxa 2008 2008-09-29 1887 1 1 75 https://biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.1887.1.1 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.1887.1.1 1175­5334 5133869 Antillocladius scalpellatus Wang et Saether Antillocladius scalpellatus Wang and Saether, 1993: 228 , Fig. 1 ; Wang (2000: 634) ; Tiunova et al . (2003: 66) ; Mendes et al . (2004: 49) . Material examined: Type material as in Wang and Saether (1993) . Diagnostic characters: The male can be separated from all other members of the genus by having several apical setae on the wing membrane; setose squama; costa barely extended; acrostichals starting in front, anterior ones hair-like, posterior ones scalpellate; a short virga; anal point long, tapering, with strong lateral setae; and inferior volsella prominent, rectangular. Remarks: Antillocladius pluspilalus , A. yakyijeus , A. scalpellatus and A. subnubilus are only separable on the size of the virga and the chaetotaxy of squama and cell m 3+4 . See A. pluspilalus for comments. Distribution: The species is recorded from China ( Guangdong ) and the Russian Far East ( Wang & Saether 1993 ; Tiunova et al. 2000).
