Nine described species (Aleuropteryx wawrikae, Coniocompsa smithersi, Nimboa espanoli, N. kasyi, N. ressii, Coniopteryx (X) aegyptiaca, C (X) hastata, C (X) kerzhneri, C (X) mongolica) are also new to the fauna of the Arabian Peninsula. Aleuropteryx cruciata Szid.ki, 1990 is regarded as a junior synonym of A. arabica Meinander, 1977, while Helicoconis serrata Meinander, 1979 is transferred to the genus Cryptoscenea. A new informal species-group (the unguihipandriata-group) is proposed within the subgenus Xeroconiopteryx. Coniopteryx (X) martinmeinanderi nom. nov. is pro­ posed for C (X) forcata Meinander, 1998, which is a junior primary homonym. 4.~, 0.fi?--' ~ J (Coniopterygidae :~~, ~) o~' ~~, ~~) ~ ~ I! .. ~ :; J.jJpl ;y..ill ~":il 4J.~j if ~y of' ~ ~ WLi ~JJ t.lyl a.........;.....A..PJ f' :~~ 41"';"'i ~ ~ ;~..b:- t.lyi L4i J.>- J.j.J4' y t.'f! a.........; j ~i f' .~ c.l:A..

Abstract With the increase in the availability of genomic data, sequences from different loci are usually concatenated in a supermatrix for phylogenetic inference. However, as an alternative to the supermatrix approach, several implementations of the multispecies coalescent (MSC) have been increasingly used in phylogenomic analyses due to their advantages in accommodating gene tree topological heterogeneity by taking account population-level processes. Moreover, the development of faster algorithms under the MSC is enabling the analysis of thousands of loci/taxa. Here, we explored the MSC approach for a phylogenomic dataset of Insecta.

  • A New Type of Neuropteran Larva from Burmese Amber
    A 100-million-year old slim insectan predator with massive venom-injecting stylets – a new type of neuropteran larva from Burmese amber Joachim T. haug, PaTrick müller & carolin haug Lacewings (Neuroptera) have highly specialised larval stages. These are predators with mouthparts modified into venom­injecting stylets. These stylets can take various forms, especially in relation to their body. Especially large stylets are known in larva of the neuropteran ingroups Osmylidae (giant lacewings or lance lacewings) and Sisyridae (spongilla flies). Here the stylets are straight, the bodies are rather slender. In the better known larvae of Myrmeleontidae (ant lions) and their relatives (e.g. owlflies, Ascalaphidae) stylets are curved and bear numerous prominent teeth. Here the stylets can also reach large sizes; the body and especially the head are relatively broad. We here describe a new type of larva from Burmese amber (100 million years old) with very prominent curved stylets, yet body and head are rather slender. Such a combination is unknown in the modern fauna. We provide a comparison with other fossil neuropteran larvae that show some similarities with the new larva. The new larva is unique in processing distinct protrusions on the trunk segments. Also the ratio of the length of the stylets vs. the width of the head is the highest ratio among all neuropteran larvae with curved stylets and reaches values only found in larvae with straight mandibles. We discuss possible phylogenetic systematic interpretations of the new larva and aspects of the diversity of neuropteran larvae in the Cretaceous. • Key words: Neuroptera, Myrmeleontiformia, extreme morphologies, palaeo­ evo­devo, fossilised ontogeny.

Biodiversity Data Journal 3: e4830. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.3.e4830 Abstract Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus region), and some additional information. The Fauna Europaea project covers about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. This represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many users in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education.
