S.J. Tsalolikhin. 1992. Taxonomic notes on African species of the genus Brevitobrilus (Nematoda, Enoplida: Tobrilidae). Zoosystematica Rossica, 1(1): 1–5.

Abstract

The genus Brevitobrilus Tsalolikhin, 1981 can be divided into two groups according to the distance from the cloaca to the first supplement. Using this character and material from some African lakes (mostly collected by the author in Ethiopia), species of the genus have been partly revised. New species: B. kenyensis (= Trilobus graciloides sensu Allgen, 1952 and Tobrilus and Tobrilus graciloides sensu Andrassy, 1964). New synonymy: B. graciloides (Daday, 1908) = B. africanus (Zullini, 1988). Specimens described by Joubert & Heyns (1979) as B. stefanskii (Micoletztky, 1925) were misidentified, they belong to B. granatensis (Ocaña & Zullini, 1988). The neotype of B. graciloides is designated.

I.M. Kerzhner. 1992. New and little-known Nabidae from North America (Heteroptera). Zoosystematica Rossica, 1(1): 37–45.

Abstract

Hoplistoscelis dentipes Harris is excluded from the list of North American species, Nabis americanus Rem. recorded from Texas. Lectotypes of 4 nominal species are designated.

I.M. Kerzhner. 1992. Nomenclatural and bibliographic corrections to J. Maldonado Capriles (1990) "Systematic catalogue of the Reduviidae of the World (Insecta: Heteroptera)". Zoosystematica Rossica, 1(1): 46–60.

Abstract

The paper is based mainly on comparison of Maldonado’s (1990) catalogue with the not properly published analogous catalogue compiled by Putshkov & Putshkov (1985-1989) and with the relevant original literature. The following matters are included: a summary list of family-group names with complete synonymy; notes on about 270 genus-group names, mostly concerning type species and their ficxation; corrections of spelling for 168 species-group names; notice of new replacement names independently established by the Putshkovs and Maldonado for the same junior homonyms; a list of 21 as yet not replaced junior primary homonyms and discussion of some confused cases of secondary homonymy; 162 bibliographic references to works either not noticed in Maldonado’s catalogue (mainly works published in 1986-1989) or cited in the catalogue but missing from the bibliography; corrections to several dozens of references, mostly concerning date of publication. A new synonymy Reduvius tenebrosus (Stål, 1863), comb. n. (from “Acanthaspis?”) = R. tenebrosus Walker, 1873 = R. walkeri China, 1940 is established.

B.A. Korotyaev. 1992. Magdalis mariae Formánek from Bosnia belongs actually to the Nearctic apionid genus Podapion (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Apionidae). Zoosystematica Rossica, 1(1): 75–77.

Abstract

Examination of the holotype of Magdalis mariae Formánek, 1911 from Bosnia has shown the species actually to be very close to the Nearctic apionid Podapion gallicola Riley, 1883 both in the general appearance and in the structure of male genitalia. Distinctly separated mesocoxal cavities and the shape of the aedeagus seem to be the only significant differences shown by the european species. The genus Podapion Riley now comprises two species: P. mariae Formánek, comb. n. from Bosnia, and P. gallicola Riley, the type species, with a wide distribution in North America.

A.G. Zinovjev. 1992. Pristicampini - a new tribe for a new genus of sawflies from Northern Europe and Siberia (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). Zoosystematica Rossica, 1(1): 78–85.

Abstract

A new genus Pristicampus (type species Mesoneura arctica Lindqvist, 1958) is established to accommodate three species formerly assigned to Pristiphora Latreille or Pachynematus Konow. The type species and P. incisus (Lindqvist, 1970) (= Pachynematus intermedius Verzhutskii, 1974, syn. n.) associated with different host plants (presumably Potentilla crantzii and definitely Dasiphora fruticosa) are considered as distinct species. A new species Pristicampus dasiphorae (= Pristiphora biscalis sensu Verzhutskii, non Förster) from Siberia is described. The taxonomic position of the new genus is discussed and a new tribe, Pristicampini, is established.

D.R. Kasparyan. 1992. Zarnbion, a new tryphonine genus from Africa (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae). Zoosystematica Rossica, 1(1): 86–88.

Abstract

Abstract

The taxonomy of some Old World Doryctinae is discussed. New taxa: Hemidoryctes (gen. n.) soror sp. n. (Java), Caenophanes luculentus sp. n., Dendrosotinus gratus sp. n. (both from Vietnam). New synonymies: Dendrosotinus Telenga, 1941 = Gildoria Hedqvist, 1974; Pseudorhoptrocentrus niger (Szepligeti, 1914), comb. n. (from Neodoryctes) = P. brunneus Granger, 1949; Caenophanes incompletus (Ratzeburg, 1844) = Heteroshilus rugosifrons Picard, 1939. Dendrosotinus Telenga, 1941 is considered as a good genus distinct from Caenophanes Förster, 1862. Lectotypes of Pseudorhoptrocentrus brunneus Granger, 1949 and Heterospilus rugosifrons Picard, 1939 are designated.
