Systematics of the New World Rostrate Genus Metaxyphloeus Thomas, 1984 (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae): Morphological Evidence for Monophyly Supporting a Broader Generic Concept

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT A morphology‐based MP analysis is undertaken to test the monophyly of the lined flat bark beetle genus Metaxyphloeus Thomas, 1984, as well as to hypothesize its intra‐ and intergeneric evolutionary relationships. Based on the results of the present work, Metaxyphloeus, as currently composed, is hypothesized as a monophyletic assemblage of ...

Fighting for Chemicals: Pharmacophagy‐Induced Contest Behaviour and Its Molecular Signatures in a Sawfly

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Elucidating the multifaceted effects of plant metabolites sequestered by animals from plants for non‐nutritional purposes, known as pharmacophagy, is fundamental to understanding the evolution of acquired chemical defences. Some herbivorous species do not only take up plant metabolites from plants but also engage in antagonistic interactions ...

Five New Species of New Zealand Hemiandrus Ander 1938 Ground wētā (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Five new species of ground wētā endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand are described based on morphological traits and informed by phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences. Hemiandrus briarae sp. nov. is a robust species living on mountains in northeast South Island, and H. dryadis sp. nov. is a gracile denizen of forests in northwest South Island.

A New Species of Tokoriro in the Genus Insulanoplectron Richards (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae) from Rakiura/Stewart Island

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Five monotypic genera of Rhaphidophoridae have been described from remote islands located south and east of New Zealand's South Island and surrounded by ocean for at least 100 km in all directions. These genera are Novoplectron Richards, 1958 from Chatham Islands; Ischyroplectron Hutton, 1896 from Bounty Islands; Notoplectron Richards, 1964 from ...
