ABSTRACT – This paper describes three new species of Ceratocader (Tingidae), almost doubling the number of known species. Ceratocader langlandsi sp. nov. is found in arid south Western Australia. In contrast, C. coatesi sp. nov. and C. bridgettae sp. nov. are found in the wetter tall forests of the far south-west of Western Australia. Notes on the genus, and its sister genus, Australocader, as well as a key to species of Ceratocader, are provided. KEYWORDS: Cantacaderinae, coextinction, short-range endemic INTRODUCTION 2010 for detailed descriptions of the methods and sites). The endemic Australian lacebug genus Ceratocader Specimens are pinned and deposited in the Western Drake, 1950 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tingidae) Australian Museum, Perth (WAM), and the M.L. Moir is currently represented by four described species. personal collection, Perth (MLM). Ceratocader armatus (Hacker, 1928), the armed Specimens were examined with an Olympus SZ51 lacebug, is recorded from South Australia, and C. stereo microscope, and all images were produced using dentatus (Hacker, 1928), the dented lacebug, from a Leica MZ16 stereo microscope and the package Auto- northern Tasmania (Hacker 1928; Cassis and Gross montage Pro version 5.02(p) (Syncroscopy, Cambridge, 1995). Lis (2000) added a further two species: C. fulvus U.K.). A map of species distribution was produced in Lis, 2000 from the far south-west of Western Australia ArcGIS Version 9.1 (Environmental Systems Research and C. monteithi Lis, 2000 (Monteith’s lacebug) from Inc.). Tingidae terminology follows Froeschner (1996) central Queensland (Figure 1). and Lis (2000), classifi cation follows Guilbert (2012). Western Australia is particularly rich in lacebug species of the family Tingidae, with a key to the genera present in the south-west provided by Moir and Guilbert SYSTEMATICS (2012). Despite recent publications documenting new species (e.g. Cassis and Symonds 2008, 2011; Guilbert Family Tingidae Laporte, 1833 and Moir 2010; Moir 2009; Moir and Guilbert 2012) many species await description. Here, we describe three Subfamily Cantacaderinae Stål, 1873 new species of Ceratocader from Western Australia: Ceratocader langlandsi sp. nov. from the arid southern Tribe Cerato caderini Lis, 1999 region, plus C. coatesi sp. nov. and C. bridgettae sp. Genus Ceratocader Drake, 1950 nov. from the far south-west of the State (Figure 1).

MATERIALS AND METHODS The specimens examined here were collected TYPE SPECIES by beating, vacuum sampling or pitfall traps (see Cantacader armatus Hacker, 1928 by original Langlands et al. 2006; Moir et al. 2005a; Orabi et al. designation. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:14E1F58D-47BE-4839-85EC-8CEEF76FBAC8 NEW SPECIES OF CERATOCADER 149 REMARKS Tingid taxonomy is based solely on the external morphology, often without any description of the genitalia, which are minimally diagnostic (Froeschner 1996; Lis 2000). Ceratocader was previously distinguished from other genera within the subfamily Cantacaderinae by the combination of the following characters: exposed scutellum, presence of 6–8 long spines on the lateral margins of the paranotum, and the anterior margin of the pronotum projecting a small to medium hood over the head (Froeschner 1996; Lis 2000). However, taking into account the features of the species described herein, we redefi ne the genus to include Cantacaderinae species with 3–8 spines on the lateral margins of the paranotum, and the pronotal hood present or absent (e.g. Figures 8–13).

Drake and Florence A. Ruhoff Introduction A treatise of the generic names of the family Tingidae from a global standpoint embodies problems similar to those frequently encountered in corresponding studies in other animal groups. The more im- portant criteria, including such basic desiderata as fixation of type species, synonyms, priority, and dates of technical publications implicate questions concomitant with recent trends toward the clarification and stabilization of zoological nomenclature. Zoogeography, predicated and authenticated on the generic level by the distribution of genera and species, is portrayed here by means of tables, charts, and maps of the tingifauna of the world. This visual pattern of distribution helps one to form a more vivid concept of the family and its hierarchic levels of subfamilies and genera. To a limited extent the data indicate distributional concentrations and probable centers of evolution and dispersal paths of genera. The phylogenetic relationship of genera is not discussed. The present treatise recognizes 216 genera (plus 79 synonyms, homonyms, and emendations) of the Tingidae of the world and gives 1 Research for this paper was supported In part by the National Science Foundation, grant No. 4095. 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 112 the figure of 1,767 as the approximate number of species now recog- nized.

  • Biosystematics of Tingidae on the Basis of the Biology and Micro­ Morphology of Their Eggs*
    Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Anirn. Sci.), Vol. 96, No. 5, September 1987, pp. 587-611. (D Printed in India. Biosystematics of Tingidae on the basis of the biology and micro­ morphology of their eggs* DA YID LIYINGSTONE and MHSYACOOB Division of Entomology, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore 641 046, India Abstract. The biology and micromorphology of the eggs of 40 species belonging to 26 genera and two subfamilies of Tingidae from southern India have been studied and considered for an assessment of their biosystematics. The oviposition strategy is intimately correlated with the selection of oviposition site on the host plant, determined by the shape and size of the egg and accomplished by appropriately developed ovipositing mechanism involving the structural features of the first gonapophyses. The oviposition pattern is accordingly classified and the eggs are classified on the basis of the nature of development of the chorionic collar cum opercular apparatus. Characterization of the eggs and assessment of their systematic importance ha ve been linked with the origin and evolution of adaptive radiation of oviposition strategies of their egg parasitoids as well. Production of season oriented dimorphic eggs is common among species that oviposit their long operculate eggs vertically in clusters, either into stems or rachis or pistil. Lamina ovipositors preferentially oviposit into the mesophyll horizontally. without cluster formation, on the undersurface of the leaves and the significant reduction in the number of aeropyles of such oval, short operculate eggs could be correlated with thc abundance of oxygen supply of the ambient air. More elongate, long operculate eggs in Tingidae, characterized by their multiplicity of aeropyles and vertical oviposition in clusters into stems, rachis and pistil, signify primitiveness, as observed in Cantacaderinae and some large sized Tinginae, Micropyles are absent in tingid eggs, as fertilization occurs before chorion formation and a true spermatheca is wanting.

The data on the sex chromosome system X0/XX of these four genera, radically different from that of all the other 17 so far karyotyped Tinginae genera (XY/XX), are summarised. The closely related genera Acalypta, Dictyonota, Kalama and Derephysia are united in a tribe under the resurrected valid name Acalyptini [Acalyptaini; ICZN Case 3813, in press] Blatchley, 1926 according to the principle of priority (ICZN, Article 23).

    * Lace Bug Genera of the World, I: Introduction, Subfamily Cantacaderinae (Heteroptera: Tingidae) RICHARD C. FROESCHNER m i SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 574 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
