Published 5 July 2000. The Purana nebulilinea group is erected for six species, distributed in Borneo, Sumatra and mainland Southeast Asia. P. nebulilinea and P. pryeri are redescribed. P. pryeri is taken out of the synonymy with P. nebulilinea. Four species are described as new (P. capricornis, P. montana, P. niasica and P. parvituberculata). The song of P. nebulilinea is described and some notes about the ecology and distribution of the group are given. A phylogeny of the group is presented and some remarks are made on the phylogenetic relationships between the species of Purana and the taxo- nomic status of the genus. A key to males and distribution maps for the species are provided. Correspondence: Martijn Kos, Instituut voor Systematiek en Populatie Biologie (Zoölogisch Museum), University of Amsterdam, P.O.

[ISSN 0040-7496]. Published 1 June 2002. The Purana carmente group is proposed for a supposedly monophyletic group of seven cicada species from the Oriental region. Two species of this group are redescribed: P. carmente from Java and Sumatra, and P. barbosae from Jolo (Philippines); the latter species is taken out of syn- onymy with P. carmente. Four species are described here for the first time: P. hermes sp. n. from Sabah and Sarawak, P. infuscata sp. n. from Borneo, P. obducta sp. n. from the Malayan Penin- sula, Sabah, and Sarawak, and P. sagittata sp. n. from the Malayan Peninsula. P. dimidia, which was recently described from China and Vietnam, also belongs to this group. A key to identify the males and distribution maps of the species are provided. Correspondence: M. A.

  • An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna
    © Copyright Australian Museum, 2005 Records of the Australian Museum (2005) Vol. 57: 375–446. ISSN 0067-1975 An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna M.S. MOULDS Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. The history of cicada family classification is reviewed and the current status of all previously proposed families and subfamilies summarized. All tribal rankings associated with the Australian fauna are similarly documented. A cladistic analysis of generic relationships has been used to test the validity of currently held views on family and subfamily groupings. The analysis has been based upon an exhaustive study of nymphal and adult morphology, including both external and internal adult structures, and the first comparative study of male and female internal reproductive systems is included. Only two families are justified, the Tettigarctidae and Cicadidae. The latter are here considered to comprise three subfamilies, the Cicadinae, Cicadettinae n.stat. (= Tibicininae auct.) and the Tettigadinae (encompassing the Tibicinini, Platypediidae and Tettigadidae). Of particular note is the transfer of Tibicina Amyot, the type genus of the subfamily Tibicininae, to the subfamily Tettigadinae. The subfamily Plautillinae (containing only the genus Plautilla) is now placed at tribal rank within the Cicadinae. The subtribe Ydiellaria is raised to tribal rank. The American genus Magicicada Davis, previously of the tribe Tibicinini, now falls within the Taphurini. Three new tribes are recognized within the Australian fauna, the Tamasini n.tribe to accommodate Tamasa Distant and Parnkalla Distant, Jassopsaltriini n.tribe to accommodate Jassopsaltria Ashton and Burbungini n.tribe to accommodate Burbunga Distant.

  • Description of the Song of Purana Metallica from Thailand and P
    Description of the song of Purana metallica from Thailand and P. latifascia from Borneo (Hemiptera, Cicadidae) Matija Gogala & Tomi Trilar Songs of cicadas Purana metallica Duffels & Schouten, 2007 and P. latifascia Duffels & Schouten, 2007 were investigated. The structure of 50 to 95 s long calling song of P. metallica is a complicated but more or less regular sequence of long and short echemes combined with short clicks. The song sequence starts, after some accelerated pairs of short clicks, with a frequency modulated very long echeme of buzzing sound, which becomes interrupted into a series of short echemes and follows with a series of short echemes interrupted by longer pauses and dividing the song into groups of short echemes and later into groups of short echemes and clicks. The high-pitched calling song of P. latifascia consists of long repeated phrases (duration 110 to 150 s). The frequency modulated introductory phrase is followed by 3 to 4 repeating phrases, which start with a frequency constant buzzing sound, pass over into vibrato sequences and end with a frequency modulated pulsating sound.

NATASHA SARKAR (M.A.), Bombay University A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is a pleasure to thank those who have made this thesis possible. First, I would like to thank my supervisor Prof.Gregory Clancey for his contribution in time, ideas and support in making this journey productive and stimulating. Through his personal conduct, I have learned so much about what makes for a brilliant teacher. His invaluable suggestions helped develop my understanding of how one should approach research and academic writing. I appreciate his patience in granting me much latitude in working in my own way. It has indeed been an honour to be his PhD student. In fact, I could not have wished for a better PhD team. Prof.John DiMoia‘s enthusiasm and joy for teaching and research has been motivational. I thank him for his prompt and very useful feedback despite his incredibly busy schedule. Prof.Medha Kudaisya, in being compassionate, has been instrumental in easing the many anxieties that plague the mind while undertaking research. I thank her for her unstinting encouragement. Time spent at NUS was made enjoyable, in great measure, to the many friends who became an integral part of my life; providing a fun environment in which to learn and grow. I am grateful for time spent at the tennis courts, table-tennis hall and endless conversation over food and drinks. I would like to especially thank Shreya, Hussain and Bingbing, for their warmth, support and strength.

Asia is described. The majority of the investigations have been carried out in Endau Rompin National Park, Malaysia. The calling song comprises three main parts (A - C) with characteristic amplitude and, especially in the third part, with intense frequency modulation. The duration of the whole song is 38.2 ± 5.1 s and is often repeated without interruption many times in succession. Amplitude and frequency modulation is accompanied with movements of the abdomen and during frequency modulated calls also with changes of its shape. Songs from other localities (Kuala Lompat Malaysia, Krui Sumatra) are slightly different but clearly follow the same general pattern, and can be attributed with certainty to the same species.
