The writer ascertains the existence of a fairly large number of Old World Gomphidae exhibiting a mixture of admittedly epigomphine and gomphine characters; he emphasizes the point that certain features hitherto considered of primary importance can no longer be used as a basis for subfamily grouping. Examples are given of intermediate genera whose proper allocation cannot even be estimated, for which reason the segregation of the Epigomphinae is considered ill-founded and must be suspended.

Lieftinck, M.A.; Wiebes, J.T..

The present memoir contains some notes and observations on the taxonomy and biology of the beetle genus Mormolyce Hagenbach. Though only too well known among coleopterists ever since their discovery, these remarkable carabids do not appear to have been critically studied in recent years. As a matter of fact, very little information on them has been supplied during the last fifty years or so, nearly all observations of more than passing interest being contained in what may be aptly called “classical” memoirs, written by some earlier students whose works are listed in the literature cited at the end of this paper. The present authors, therefore, have gratefully accepted this opportunity to put on record the results of a fresh study of these insects by...

Enkele notities over het Oever-aas van Nieuw Guinea (Ephem., Palingeniidae)

Ano: 1968

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504581

Weinig onderzoekingen hebben in zo wijde kring bekendheid verworven als die van onze landgenoot JAN SWAMMERDAM, die in zijn ,Ephemeri vita’ (1675) en later in de ,Bybel der Natuur of Historie der insekten’ (1737) de ontwikkelingsgeschiedenis beschreef van het beroemd geworden Oever-aas, Palingenia longicauda (Oliv.), de grootste palaearctische Ephemeride. Dit allermerkwaardigst insect, dat — het zij terloops opgemerkt — reeds in 1634 door de Amsterdamse medicus AUGERIUS CLUTIUS was beschreven en afgebeeld ¹), moet destijds in ons land alom de aandacht hebben getrokken wegens zijn massaal optreden gedurende een aantal warme dagen omstreeks het midden van de maand Juni. In Nederland echter is dit grote haft vermoedelijk reeds tegen het eind van de vorige...

Revision of some Oriental Anthophorine Bees of the genus Amegilla Friese (Hymenoptera, Apoidea)

Ano: 1949

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504443

Anticipating a revision of the genera and subgenera of the tribe Anthophorini, a number of south-east Asiatic species previously included in Anthophora Latreille, are transferred by the author to Amegilla Friese. The types were studied of Anthophora villosula F. Smith, and of 19 valid and 3 invalid species of Amegilla (i.e., of all species discussed, except that of himalajensis Radoszkowski), and a key to their identification is included. The following new species are described: A. proboscidea, ♀ (Simalur I.), sumatrana, ♂♀ (Sumatra), pagdeni, ♂ ♀ (Malaya), and leptocoma, ♂ ♀ (Siam & Malaya). Re-descriptions of both sexes and figures are given of A. insularis (F. Smith), himalajensis (Radoszkowski), florea (F. Smith), and urens (Cockerell). Apart from...

I. DESCRIPTIONS AND RECORDS OF NORTHEAST ASIATIC SPECIES, WITH NOTES ON THE IMMATURE STAGES Remarkably little is known of the species of Macromia occurring in the northern part and far eastern countries of continental Asia. In the following list I have enumerated chronologically all species at present known from the vast territory extending north of the Himalayas, Indo-China and the intermediate countries : 1. M. amphigena Selys 1871 (Bull. Acad. Belg. (2) 31: 537-538). — ♂ ♀ Japan. 2. M. fraenata Martin 1907 (Cat. Coll. Selys, 17, Cordul. : 71-72). — ♂ Korea. 3. M. spec. indet. Bartenef 1914 (Horae Soc. Ent. Ross. 41: 21-23, fig. 12). — ♂ ♀ N. Manchukuo (Station Imjanpo, East China railroad). 4. M. clio Ris 1916 (Supplem. Entom. 5: 67-68, pl. 3, fig. 1)....

Two new species of Podolestes selys from Borneo, with a key for the identification of the known species (Odonata, Megapodagriidae)

Palavras-chave: 42.75.

Ano: 1955

The genus Podolestes, as far as at present known, is confined to the Malaysian subregion of the Indo-Australian Archipelago. Descriptions and drawings of structural details of four species are to be found in two of the writer's previous papers on Malaysian dragonf lies, viz.: New and little known Odonata of the Oriental and Australian Regions. Treubia, 15, 1935: 177-183, fig. 1-3. Descriptions and records of South-East Asiatic Odonata (II). Ibid. 17, 1940: 347-350, fig. 4-5. The species of Podolestes have been found in marshes and along muddy creeks flowing through wooded areas in low country. Owing to their retiring habits the insects are but seldom encountered and all species are rare in collections. Little or nothing is known of their life-histories,...

On some old types of Coenagriinine Odonata described from the Philippine Islands, with notes on allied species

The present paper is the result of an examination of some type specimens in the Brussels Museum, collected by G. Semper in the Philippines and described by Friedrich Brauer in 1868; it includes also a discussion of one species recorded from these islands by Edm. de Sélys Longchamps in the last part of his "Synopsis des Agrionines", in 1877. These were rendered accessible to study during my visit to Brussels in June, 1938, by Mons. Antoine Ball, at that time entomologist of the Musée Royal d'Histoire Naturelle. Through his kindness I was permitted afterwards to borrow the types for further study and to keep them for almost twenty years. This enabled me to make comparisons with certain species included in a splendid collection of Philippine dragonflies in...

Synopsis of the dragonflies (Odonata) of Ceylon

Ano: 1957

Thanks to the important work done by F. F. Laidlaw and F. C. Fraser on the Odonata of India and adjacent countries, we are now tolerably well informed about the occurrence and ecology of these insects in this part of the world. In his recent paper on the derivation of the Ceylonese Odonata, Laidlaw (1951) has given a very useful analysis of the dragonflies of this island. For details concerning the composition and the origin of the dragonfly fauna, the reader is therefore invited to consult Dr. Laidlaw's interesting account. Consequently, there is no need to comment in great detail upon the collection dealt with in this paper, although in the annotated list that follows I have thought it worth while to include all species known from Ceylon, so as to make...

Some Gomphidae and their larvae, chiefly from the Malay Peninsula (Odonata)

Palavras-chave: 42.75.

Ano: 1962

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/317590

During a nine week's sojourn in the Malay Peninsula, from February 12 until April 22, 1963, I have been able to acquaint myself with the insect fauna of that country and to make a special study of the Odonata and their larvae. The present account is the first of a series dealing with the results of this collecting expedition. It merely contains descriptions and illustrations of a few new and insufficiently known species of Gomphidae; more of these pertaining to the same family will, it is hoped, soon follow. The rich and varied supply of material accumulated during the Malayan trip forms the basis of this study, but specimens from other sources are incorporated wherever this was found appropriate or necessary. Thus it includes re-descriptions of types in...

Two new species of Lanthanusa ris, from the high mountains of new Guinea (Odonata)

Palavras-chave: 42.75.

Ano: 1964

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/317568

Up to the present, three species of the Libellulid genus Lanthanusa Ris have been described, all from the mountain regions of New Guinea. One of these, the genotype L. cyclopica Ris, is a female in the Leiden Museum collected more than half a century ago somewhere in the Cycloop Mountains (North New Guinea) ; the male has remained unknown and the species has never been found again. Two others, richardi Lieft, and lamberti Lieft., were subsequently discovered in the mountain forests of central New Guinea and are known from both sexes. All three species have been discussed at length in the writer's account of the Anisoptera of the Third Archbold Expedition (Treubia, 1942, 18 : 493-499, figs. 40-45). In this short paper the descriptions are offered of two...

Notes on species of Nannophlebia Selys from the Moluccas and new Guinea (Odonata)

Palavras-chave: 42.75.

Ano: 1955

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/319231

In this short paper notes and descriptions are offered of four new and two already known species of the Tetrathemine genus Nannophlebia Selys, all from the Moluccan islands and New Guinea. I have found that the specific characters of the genotype, lorquini Selys, as they were apprehended up to this time, might give rise to confusion with allied species. Therefore, I have in this paper also given a re-description and figures of the two sexes of this species, including it in a new key to the identification of all species at present known from the Moluccas. The sexes are often very difficult to correlate in this genus. Our collections contain no less than six species which I have been unable to locate : one from the Banggai Islands, one from Japen (off...
