Zootaxa: a Study on Genus Chlamydatus Curtis, 1833 From http://www.paper.edu.cn Zootaxa 1271: 57–68 (2006) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 1271 Copyright © 2006 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A study on genus Chlamydatus Curtis, 1833 from China (Heteroptera: Miridae: Phylinae) XIAO-MING LI & GUO-QING LIU Institute of Entomology, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin 300071, China. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Five species of Chlamydatus Curtis from China are presented of which two, Chlamydatus laminatus and Chlamydatus sichuanensis, are described as new. A key for discrimination of the Chinese species is given. Photographs of the dorsal habitus, scanning electron micrographs of the metathorax scent-gland, and illustrations of the male genitalia and legs are provided. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. Key words: Heteroptera, Miridae, Chlamydatus, new species, China Introduction Curtis (1833) erected the genus Chlamydatus, assigning it to the subfamily Phylinae. Wagner (1975) presented keys to subgenera and species, and illustrated the male genitalia. His work focused on the European fauna. Kelton (1965) revised Chlamydatus for North America, and included much new distributional information. Schuh and Schwartz (2005) thought Kelton’s paper had two weaknesses. The first was the acceptance of some flawed species concepts and the misidentification of certain taxa. Second, Kelton’s key relied heavily on pubescence type and coloration. As a consequence, Schuh and Schwartz (2005) reviewed the genus for North American and described two new species. In their papers, revised diagnoses, digital habitus illustrations, illustrations of male genitalia and legs, scanning micrographs of diagnostic features, and new distributional records are provided. Herein, our information on the Chinese Chlamydatus species is presented in a manner easily comparable to those contained in Schuh and Schwartz (2005). Kiritshenko (1931) was the first to study the Chlamydatus from China, and he (1931) described C. pachycerus Kiritshenko from Xizang (Tibet). Hsiao and Meng (1963) recorded C. pullus (Reuter) collected in cotton fields from China. Bao-ying, Qi and Accepted by C.

A key for identification of the Chinese species is given. The digital habitus figures, illustrations of the male genitalia and legs, and scanning micrographs of metathorax scent-gland are also provided. Detailed distributional information is listed for most material examined, including number and sex of specimens, except C. pachycerus. Materials and methods All genitalic illustrations were made from temporary slide mounts in lactophenol, using an Olympus SZ-ST microscope. Dorsal view photographs were made with a Nikon SMZ1000 apparatus. Scanning electron micrographs were prepared on a FEI Quanta200 microscope. All measurements are in millimeters. The type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. Taxonomy Chlamydatus Curtis, 1833 Chlamydatus Curtis 1833: 198. Type species: Chlamydatus marginatus Curtis, 1833 Diagnosis: Small, elongate oval or ovate; sometimes submacropterous with membrane shortened and just covering abdomen, or brachypterous leaving much of abdomen exposed; coloration of body dark, often entirely black; eyes bulging and often extending laterally beyond anterolateral angles of pronotum; antennal segment II usually slender, generally no longer than width of head; femora moderately broad; claws only moderately elongate, nearly straight over much of length, pulvilli relatively large, adnate to at least basal half of ventral claw surface; parempodia setiform; vestiture of dorsum composed of simple setae, dull black to silvery or golden and shining, sometimes appearing neatly arranged. Male genitalia: Vesica with a single strap, apical attenuation single; gonopore relatively large, closed both proximally and distally; phallotheca strongly sclerotized; left paramere conventional phyline; right paramere lanceolate. Dark-colored Chlamydatus spp. are most easily confused with some of the small black species of Plagiognathus Fieber and Phoenicocoris Reuter, but they can be distinguished by the male genitalia and setae on the dorsum. 58 © 2006 Magnolia Press LI & LIU 中国科技论文在线 http://www.paper.edu.cn Key to the Chinese species of Chlamydatus Curtis ZOOTAXA 1271 1 Body length shorter than 2.00 ..............................................

Paratypes: 3 males, 6 females, same data as holotype. Diagnosis: Recognized by the small size, total length 2.32–2.81, the ovoid shape, the dark coloration of body, the yellow femora with dark spots, and the form of male genitalia. Most similar to C. pullus in size and coloration of dorsum, but distinguished by the structure of phallotheca and the coloration of femora. The new species has a lobelike projection on the dorsum of the phallotheca (Fig.19), whereas the phallotheca of C. pullus is without a lobelike projection (Fig.25); the femoral coloration is also different (Figs.13, 16). Description: Male (Fig. 1): Macropterous, elongately oval. Coloration: Dorsum black; eye brown with margin pale; antennae unicolorous black, covered with dark hairs; clypeus black; buccula yellow, with pale long setae; labium deep brown; exposed part of mesoscutum black; membrane of wing fumose, without any spots; coxae dark; femora pale brown, with dark spots (Fig. 13); tibiae pale brown; tibial spines black, with distinct black bases; tarsal segment III and claw blackish brown; body beneath blackish brown. Structure: Dorsum smooth, weakly shining, covered with recumbent, pale, simple setae; antennal segment I with 2 blackish brown setae at the middle; anterolateral angles of pronotum with a long erect spine; abdominal venter with shining, recumbent hairs; head almost vertical; clypeus nearly obscured from above; vertex broad, relatively flat in dorsal view, posterior margin of vertex straight; eyes more or less conforming to anterior margin of pronotum, occupying almost total height of head in lateral view; dorsal margin of antennal fossa at level of ventral margin of eye; total segments III and IV longer than length of segment II; labium reaching to about posterior margin of middle trochanters; hemelytra nearly parallel-sided, corial margin slightly convex, hemelytra weakly deflexed at fracture; membrane relatively developed; metathoracic scent-gland evaporatory area as in Fig. 9. Male genitalia (Figs. 18–20): Vesica relatively small with a short apical attenuation, secondary gonopore well sclerotized, situated near apex of vesica; left paramere boat- shaped; right paramere lanceolate; phallotheca distinctive from other species of this genus, with a lobelike projection dorsally. Female (Fig. 2): The coloration and surface are similar to male. But the size smaller than male, body broader, hemelytra more convexly rounded. Distribution: China (Sichuan ). Etymology: Named for the dorsal lobelike projection of the phallotheca. 60 © 2006 Magnolia Press LI & LIU 中国科技论文在线 http://www.paper.edu.cn ZOOTAXA 1271 FIGURES 1–8.

(L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

Chlamydatus drymophilus Vinokurov, 1982 (Hemiptera, Miridae), a species new to the Estonian fauna. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 62, 9–11. The article presents data on the occurrence and distribution of Chlamydatus drymophilus Vinokurov, 1982 in Estonia. The species is new for the fauna of Estonia. Worldwide there are only a few records of C. drymophilus in Europe and northern part of Asia. However, due to its small size, the occurrence and distribution of the species is most probably under-recorded. The first known record ofC. drymophilus in Estonia is from 2012, at the drained bog of Laukasoo in the eastern part of the country. The second record was found in 2013, also from a bog habitat at Marimetsa bog, but in western Estonia. It seems that the species is associated with bog habitats and has a scattered distribution over the country. Key words: Heteroptera, Chlamydatus drymophilus, habitat, new records, Estonia.

  • Uwagi O Okazie Oznaczonym Jako Chlamydatus Longirostris Reuter, 1905 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) Z Polski
    Heteroptera Poloniae – Acta Faunistica vol. 12: 37–39. Opole, 10 VII 2018 ISSN 2083-201X Krótkie doniesienie – Short communication Uwagi o okazie oznaczonym jako Chlamydatus longirostris Reuter, 1905 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) z Polski BARBARA LIS Samodzielna Katedra Biosystematyki, Uniwersytet Opolski, Oleska 22, 45-052 Opole e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: [Remarks on the specimen identified as Chlamydatus longirostris Reuter, 1905 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae) from Poland]. Chlamydatus longirostris Reuter, 1905 was reported from Poland (Lis J. A. 1985) on the basis of a female specimen collected in 1982 in Świerklaniec on Larix kaempferi (Lindl.) Carrière, 1856. Recent verification of the identification correct- ness of this specimen has proved it represented Ch. pullus (Reuter, 1870). The second report of Ch. longirostris in Poland (Korcz 2003) was also a case of misidentification (Gorczyca 2007). Therefore, Ch. longirostris should be excluded from the list of Polish Heteroptera. Key words: Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Miridae, Phylinae, Chlamydatus longirostris, faunistics, identification correctness, Poland. Chlamydatus (Euattus) longirostris Reuter, 1905 to europejski gatunek z rodziny Miridae o bardzo ograni- czonym występowaniu; jego potwierdzone stanowi- ska, dotyczące do niedawna niewielu okazów, znajdują się we Francji, Hiszpanii i Chorwacji (Pagola-Carte 2015). Ryc. 2. Samica oznaczona jako Ch. longirostris, widok z boku (1, 2, 3 – biodra pierwszej, drugiej i trzeciej pary odnóży; strzałka wskazuje zakończenie rostrum). [Fig. 1. Female identified as Ch. longirostris (1, 2, 3 – coxae of the first, second and third legs, respectively; the arrow indicates the rostrum tip)]. W roku 1985 została opublikowana notatka (Lis J. A. 1985) dotycząca stwierdzenia tego gatunku w Pol- sce. Jedna samica (ryc.
