Foveapeltis gen. nov., an unusual cleroid genus with large hypomeral cavities from mid‐Cretaceous amber (Coleoptera: Cleroidea)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Deciphering the systematic positions of Mesozoic trogossitid‐like beetles is challenging. Here, we describe and illustrate a new trogossitid‐like lineage from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Foveapeltis rutai gen. et sp. nov. Foveapeltis stands out within the Cleroidea due to the presence of a significant large cavity on each hypomeron.

New genus of Psychodinae (Diptera, Psychodidae) from Argentina [PDF]

Iheringia. Série Zoologia, 2015
ABSTRACT Adults (male and female) and pupae of Chuspilepia saltenia gen. nov., sp. nov. were collected in tree holes in the Yungas rainforest, near San Ramón de la Nueva Orán city, Salta province, Argentina. It was not possible to place this new species in any known genera using the available keys and published descriptions, thus a new genus is ...

The first unique‐headed bug (Hemiptera, Enicocephalomorpha) from Cretaceous Iberian amber, and the Gondwanan connections of its palaeoentomological fauna

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract Enicocephalomorpha, also known as unique‐headed bugs, are a seldom‐collected infraorder of heteropteran insects whose evolutionary relationships have puzzled entomologists for more than a century. Unique‐headed bugs are exceptionally rare in the fossil record, which hinders our understanding of the morphological transformations of the lineage ...

Relationships of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1993
The status of phlebotomine sand flies in relationship to the family Psychodidae (Diptera) is reviewed. It is concluded that sand flies should be given familial recognition as Phlebotomidae, divided into subfamilies Phlebotominae and Bruchomyiinae.

The Phlebotomine sand fly fauna of Switzerland revisited

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 13-22, March 2024.
A new inventory of Phlebotomine sand flies of Switzerland has been created. Four species were recorded south to the Alps: Phlebotomus perniciosus, P. neglectus, P. mascittii and Sergentomyia minuta; and only P. mascittii north to the Alps. Phlebotomus neglectus is recorded for the first time in the country, most probably spreading from Northern Italy ...

Analysis of winter diet in Guizhou golden monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi) using DNA metabarcoding data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
Our DNA metabarcoding analysis has revealed that Rhinopithecus brelichi predominantly feeds on plants from the Magnoliaceae and Rubiaceae families, Diptera and Coleoptera insects, as well as macrofungi such as Agaricales throughout the winter season. Abstract The Guizhou golden monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi) is a critically endangered wildlife species,
