A NEW SUBGENUS of the GENUS Sabei;Hes (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) L AUGUST1991 1 A NEW SUBGENUS OF THE GENUS sABEI;HEs (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) l RALPH E. HARBACH~ Walter Reed Biosystematics Unit, Department of Entomology, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington, DC 20307-5100. ABSTRACT. A new subgenus, Peytonulus, of the genus Sabethes Robineau-Desvoidy is estab- lished for seven species previously included in the subgenus Sabethinus Lutz. The subgenus is contrasted with the other subgenera of Sabethes and the type species is illustrated. INTRODUCTION The new subgenus is uniquely characterized by several autapomorphic features, the highly Because mosquitoes of the genus Sabethes modified larval seta l-VII and its missing pupal Robineau-Desvoidy are known to harbor and homolog being the most notable and conspicu- transmit arboviruses (Galindo et al. 1959, Mat- ous.

Address for correspondence: Nicolás García, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12062 Abstract A robust generic classification for Amaryllidaceae has remained elusive mainly due to the lack of unequivocal diagnostic characters, a consequence of highly canalized variation and a deeply reticulated evolutionary history. A consensus classification is pro- posed here, based on recent molecular phylogenetic studies, morphological and cytogenetic variation, and accounting for secondary criteria of classification, such as nomenclatural stability. Using the latest sutribal classification of Hippeastreae (Hippeastrinae and Traubiinae) as a foundation, we propose the recognition of six genera, namely Eremolirion gen. nov., Hippeastrum, Phycella s.l., Rhodolirium s.str., Traubia, and Zephyranthes s.l. A subgeneric classification is suggested for Hippeastrum and Zephyranthes to denote putative subclades.

The recent surge in popularity of crowd- sourced wildlife monitoring platforms presents both chal- lenges and opportunities for automatic image based species identification. We consider the problem of identifying the Protea species in a given image with additional (but op- tional) attributes linked to the observation, such as loca- tion and date. We collect training and test data from a crowd-sourced platform, and find that the Protea identifi- Figure 1.

Author for correspondence: Paul E. Berry, [email protected] Abstract Euphorbia subg. Chamaesyce contains around 600 species and includes the largest New World radiation within the Old World-centered genus Euphorbia. It is one of the few plant lineages to include members with C3, C4 and CAM photosyn- thesis, showing multiple adaptations to warm and dry habitats. The subgenus includes North American-centered groups that were previously treated at various taxonomic ranks under the names of “Agaloma ”, “Poinsettia ”, and “Chamaesyce ”. Here we provide a well-resolved phylogeny of Euphorbia subg. Chamaesyce using nuclear ribosomal ITS and chloroplast ndhF sequences, with substantially increased taxon sampling compared to previous studies. Based on the phylogeny, we discuss the Old World origin of the subgenus, the evolution of cyathial morphology and growth forms, and then provide a formal sectional classification, with descriptions and species lists for each section or subsection we recognize.

  • Classification of Mosquitoes in Tribe Aedini 925
    FORUM Classification of Mosquitoes in Tribe Aedini (Diptera: Culicidae): Paraphylyphobia, and Classification Versus Cladistic Analysis HARRY M. SAVAGE Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, P.O. Box 2087, Fort Collins, CO 80522 J. Med. Entomol. 42(6): 923Ð927 (2005) Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jme/article/42/6/923/886357 by guest on 29 September 2021 ABSTRACT Many mosquito species are important vectors of human and animal diseases, and others are important nuisance species. To facilitate communication and information exchange among pro- fessional groups interested in vector-borne diseases, it is essential that a stable nomenclature be maintained. For the Culicidae, easily identiÞable genera based on morphology are an asset. Major changes in generic concept, the elevation of 32 subgenera within Aedes to generic status, and changes in hundreds of species names proposed in a recent article demand consideration by all parties interested in mosquito-borne diseases. The entire approach to Aedini systematics of these authors was ßawed by an inordinate fear of paraphyletic taxa or Paraphylyphobia, and their inability to distinguish between classiÞcation and cladistic analysis. Taxonomists should refrain from making taxonomic changes based on preliminary data, and they should be very selective in assigning generic names to only the most important and well-deÞned groups of species.

The discovery of this new subgenus sheds new light on the chronostratigraphic distribution and diversity of the genus Trichoneura and the evolution of the Limoniidae. The is oldest known species of Trichoneura and is important for understanding the evolution of this group of insects. Abstract: A new subgenus Cretalinea subgen. nov. of Trichoneura (Diptera, Limoniidae) is established Citation: Kania-Kłosok, I.; with one new species: Trichoneura (Cretalinea) xavieri subgen. et sp. nov. This is the first report of Krzemi´nski,W.; Kope´c,K.; Arillo, A. the genus Trichoneura in Spanish amber and the first record of the genus from the Lower Cretaceous The Oldest Evolutionary Lineage of period.

  • The Folk Subgenus: a New Ethnobiological Rank
    J. Ethnobiol. 7(2):181-192 Winter 1987 THE FOLK SUBGENUS: A NEW ETHNOBIOLOGICAL RANK CECIL H. BROWN Department of Anthropology Northern Illinois University DeKalb, Illinois 60115 ABSTRACT.-A seventh ethnobiological rank, the folk subgenus, is recognized and added to Brent Berlin's framework of principles of folk biological classification and nomenclature. A class affiliated with the subgeneric rank is monomially labeled and immediately included in a generic category. Identification of the folk subgenus removes certain terminological difficulties which arise when describing the growth of ethno­ biological nomenclature. Most importantly, its recognition permits an elegant formal representation of folk biological taxonomy as empirically attested in several detailed field studies. INTRODUCTION In a recent article I (Brown 1986) presented several proposals concerning the growth of ethnobiological nomenclature. One of these proposals, that folk biological categories of the specific rank evolutionarily precede categories of the generic rank, was strongly challenged by Brent Berlin in his accompanying response to my paper. Berlin (1972), in an earlier pioneering work, proposed the privileged status of generic classes in folk taxonomies and their precedence in biotaxonomic development. One reason for my departure from this widely accepted view is that it presents certain terminological difficulties in describing details of the growth and development of folk biological taxonomy. However, I have come to recognize that my own proposal is also problematic with respect to terminology. The present essay attempts to resolve these problems and to reconcile my position with that of Berlin. It does so by recognizing a new ethnobiological rank, the folk subgenus. BACKGROUND In Berlin's (1972,with Breedlove and Raven 1973, 1974)framework, each biological class within a folk taxonomy belongs to one of six ethnobiological ranks.

(H.) parvula, L. (H.) unmunsana, L (H.) papariensis, and L. (H.) tsushimana. The latter three are taxonomically controversial based on both morphological and molecular data. We examined the phylogenetic relation- ships and evolutionary history of the species and related congeners using partial COI gene sequences (DNA barcoding). Our phylogenetic analyses consistently supported the monophyly of Hotaria sensu lato, but did not resolve the generic rank. The two types of L. (H.) parvula in Japan can be considered distinct © Han et al., 2019 | doi:10.1163/18759866-20191420 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc-by 4.0 License.
