Title: Anthomyiid flies from Sakhalin (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)
Authors: Suwa, Masaaki
Abstract: Specimens of anthomyiid flies recently collected in Sakhalin were examined and 57 species were recognized. Together with 13 species already recorded in the literature and a species newly found in the collection of the Hokkaido University Museum, 60 species in total are enumerated as occurring in Sakhalin. Distributional patterns of the species of Sakhalin and adjacent territories are briefly discussed. Three species are described as new to science, Alliopsis lobata, Chiastocheta sachalinensis and Delia curvistylata.2013-09-30T15:00:00ZSuwa, MasaakiSpecimens of anthomyiid flies recently collected in Sakhalin were examined and 57 species were recognized.

Title: Two species of Chirosia reared from the Ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Todaro, in Japan (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)
Authors: Suwa, Masaaki
Abstract: Two anthomyiid species of the genus Chirosia were reared from puparia overwintered in stipe bases of fronds of the Ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris, in Hokkaido, Japan. One is Chirosia rametoka (Suwa, 1974) and the other is a species described here as Chirosia kogomi sp. nov. Both belong to the Chirosia megacephala section proposed by G.C.D. Griffiths in 2004. C. rametoka may be unique in having the head with wide frons and no differentiated orbital setae in both sexes and in having the female 8th sternite represented by a pair of small sclerites. C. kogomi may be closely related with Chirosia sikisima (Suwa, 1974) and its allied Chirosia major Suwa, 2013 in having the surstyli with a prominent dorsobasal extension and with some stout setae on subapical inner depression, and in having the distiphallus of aedeagus strongly convex dorsally near base of acrophallus.2013-09-30T15:00:00ZSuwa, MasaakiTwo anthomyiid species of the genus Chirosia were reared from puparia overwintered in stipe bases of fronds of the Ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris, in Hokkaido, Japan.

Title: Some species of Aulacaspis related to mangrove-associated Australian species (Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea: Diaspididae)
Authors: Takagi, Sadao
Abstract: Six Asian species of Aulacaspis are studied on the supposition that they are related to A. australis Brimblecombe and A. constricta Takagi and De Faveri, mangrove-associated species in Australia: A. crawii (Cockerell) [=Diaspis crawii var. fulleri Cockcrell], A. mischocarpi (Cockerell and Robinson) [=Phenacaspis thoracica Robinson, n.syn.], A. alangii, n.sp. (Borneo, on Alangium), A. otophorae, n.sp. (Palawan, on Otophora), A. shoreae, n.sp. (Malaya, on Shorea), and A. fici, n.sp. (Malaya, on Ficus). One of them, A. crawii, is closely related to A. australis; the other five species are lumped under the mischocarpi species group, which may be responsible for the origin of A. constricta. Four of the six species, together with A. litsearum, n.sp. (India, on Litsea) and A. rosae (the type species of the genus) added for comparison, are examined for their growth patterns in the stage of the adult female by means of pairing full—grown adult females with teneral ones from the same samples.2013-09-30T15:00:00ZTakagi, SadaoSix Asian species of Aulacaspis are studied on the supposition that they are related to A. australis Brimblecombe and A. constricta Takagi and De Faveri, mangrove-associated species in Australia: A. crawii (Cockerell) [=Diaspis crawii var. fulleri Cockcrell], A. mischocarpi (Cockerell and Robinson) [=Phenacaspis thoracica Robinson, n.syn.], A. alangii, n.sp.

Abstract: Morphological study and rearing experiment of Acer rufinerve-infesting aphids collected at the Rokko Mountains in Hyogo Prefecture, western Japan showed that three aphids Trichaitophorus koyaensis Takahashi, T. Takahashii Sorin and Periphyllus montanus Sorin are all the same species. Synonyms are listed under the valid name T. koyaensis. The fundatrix, oviparous female and male of T. kayaensis are described for the first time. Morphological variation of the apterous and alate viviparous females is added, and the life cycle is provided.2013-09-30T15:00:00ZSugimoto, Shun'ichiroMorphological study and rearing experiment of Acer rufinerve-infesting aphids collected at the Rokko Mountains in Hyogo Prefecture, western Japan showed that three aphids Trichaitophorus koyaensis Takahashi, T.

Title: Revised classification of 'Psocoptera' from Cretaceous amber, a reassessment of published information
Authors: Mockford, Edward L.; Lienhard, Charles; Yoshizawa, Kazunori
Abstract: All fossil psocid species ('Psocoptera', i. e. free living, mostly bark-dwelling members of the insect order Psocodea) known from Cretaceous amber are listed and their systematic placement is discussed. This critical evaluation of published data resulted in a list of 32 species assignable to 27 genera and 11 families. Each genus could be assigned to one of the three suborders Trogiomorpha, Troctomorpha and Psocomorpha, but five genera could not clearly be assigned to a family. No extant genus is represented in Cretaceous amber. Several systematic misallocations, a few at subordinal level, have been identified. Suborder transfers are proposed for the genera Paramesopsocus, Arcantipsocus and Libanopsyllipsocus; an infraorder transfer within Troctomorpha is proposed for Globopsacus. The extant troctomorph family Pachytroctidae is recorded for the first time from the Cretaceous. Two family-group names of Psocomorpha (Paramesopsocidae and Arcantipsocidae), based on extinct taxa, are considered as synonyms of two extant families of Troctomorpha (Electrentomidae and Amphientomidae respectively). The extant family Lachesillidae is the only family of Psocomorpha represented in Cretaceous amber. 53% of the species from Cretaceous amber belong to the Trogiomorpha, representing the basal clade of Psocoptera; 41% belong to Troctomorpha and only 6% to Psocomorpha, while the latter comprises 69% of the species known from Baltic amber (Eocene) and 82% of the extant species. The presence of the family Lachesillidae shows that the deepest divergences of the psocomorphan phylogeny date back at least to the Cretaceous, but the main radiation of Psocomorpha at generic or species level probably happened in the Cenozoic. This critical review of published information about the oldest known fossils clearly assignable to the order Psocodea (as this group is defined by taxonomists working on the extant fauna) aims to refine the data which could provide some fossil evidence for calibration of molecular trees in future research on the phylogeny of paraneopteran insects.2013-09-30T15:00:00ZMockford, Edward L.Lienhard, CharlesYoshizawa, KazunoriAll fossil psocid species ('Psocoptera', i. e. free living, mostly bark-dwelling members of the insect order Psocodea) known from Cretaceous amber are listed and their systematic placement is discussed.
