A new concept is proposed for the cicad genus Aedeastria De Boer, 1990, so that ten species can be added, bringing the total number of species to twelve. Of these ten species added to the genus, two (A. latifrons (Blöte) and A. digitata (Blöte)) are redescribed and transferred from Baeturia Stål, while eight species (A. bullata, A. cheesmanae, A. dilobata, A. hastulata, A. kaiensis, and A. moluccensis, A. obiensis, A. waigeuensis) are described as new. A key to the males of Aedeastria is presented. Aedeastria belongs to a group of Australian and New Guinean genera, defined earlier as the “Baeturia and related genera complex” and is very closely related to the genus Thaumastopsaltria Kirkaldy of that complex. Though no cladogram is presented, the...

The taxonomy and biogeography of the nasuta group of the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866 (Homoptera, Tibicinidae)

Palavras-chave: Aedeastria; Taxonomy; Biogeography; New Guinea; Maluku.

Ano: 1993

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504980

The name nasuta group is proposed here for eight New Guinean species of the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866, for which a monophyletic origin is made plausible. Seven of these species are redescribed, and one, B. intermedia, is described as new. Distribution maps and a key to the males are presented. The nasuta group is mainly distributed in the mountain ranges of Central and SE New Guinea, which formed probably a part of the historic Inner Melanesian Arc. The one exception, B. parva, is restricted to the lower mountain ranges and lowlands of Northern New Guinea and New Britain, an alleged part of the Outer Melanesian Arc.

The taxonomy and biogeography of the genus Thaumastopsaltira Kirkaldy, 1900 (Homoptera, Tibicinidae)

Ano: 1982

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504955

The taxonomic concept of the genus Thaumastopsaltria Kirkaldy is redefined on the basis of the shape of postclypeus and the length of the ovipositor. Tegmen venation is shown to be unreliable for this purpose. T. nana (Jacobi) does not fit this new concept and is, pending its transfer to another genus, not included in this revision. The genus now consists of a monophyletic group of seven species, for which a key to the males is presented. Two species (T. adipata (Stål) and T. globosa (Distant)), are redescribed, while five (T. sicula, T. lanceola, T. pneumatica, T. sarissa and T. spelunca) are described as new. T. glauca Ashton is brought into the synonymy of T. globosa. Thaumastopsaltria belongs to a group of New Guinean and Australian genera, defined...

The taxonomy and biogeography of the guttulinervis group of the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866 (Homoptera, Tibicinidae)

Ano: 1992

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504909

The guttulinervis group is proposed for a monophyletic group of four northern New Guinean species of the cicada genus Baeturia Stål, 1866. B. guttulinervis Blöte, 1960, is redescribed and three species (B. biroi, B. inconstans, and B. roonensis) are described as new to science. The phylogenetic position of the guttulinervis group, within the genus Baeturia, is discussed. The distribution of shared characters suggests a sister group relationship with the conviva group. A key to the males is provided and a map of distribution is presented.

Palavras-chave: Baeturia; Guttulinervis group; Taxonomy; Biogeography; New Guinea.

Ano: 1994

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504369

The bloetei group is proposed for a monophyletic group of 18 species of the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866. Fifteen species are described as new ( B. bilebanarai, B. bismarckensis, B. bloetei, B. boulardi, B. brandti, B. cristovalensis, B. gressitti, B. macgillavryi, B. manusensis, B. marginata, B. mendanai, B. mussauensis, B. papuensis, B. reijnhoudti and B. sedlacekorum) and three species ( B. edauberti Boulard, B. maddisoni Duffels and B. rotumae Duffels) are redescribed. B. aubertae Boulard, B. efatensis Boulard and B. epiensis Boulard are proposed as new synonyms of B. edauberti Boulard. A key to the males is provided and distribution maps are presented. The distribution of shared characters is discussed pending a future phylogenetic reconstruction....

The taxonomy and biogeography of the viridis group of the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866 (Homoptera, Tibicinidae)

Ano: 1989

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/505231

The viridis group is proposed for a supposedly monophyletic group of seven New Guinean species of the cicada genus Baeturia Stål, 1866. Three species (B. brongersmai Blöte, B. rufula Blöte, and B. viridis Blöte) are redescribed and four species (B. furcillata, B. karkarensis, B. lorentzi, and B. turgida) are described as new to science. A key to the males is provided. The phylogenetic position of the viridis group within the genus Baeturia is discussed. The distribution of shared characters suggests a subdivision of the group into two subgroups. One subgroup is restricted to southern and western Irian Jaya, while the other is distributed along the coastal mountain ranges of northern New Guinea, including Karkar Island.

The taxonomy and biogeography of the exhausta group of the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866 (Homoptera, Tibicinidae)

Palavras-chave: Baeturia; Viridis group; Taxonomy; Biogeography; New Guinea.

Ano: 1992

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504297

The exhausta group is proposed for a supposedly monophyletic group of eight species of the cicada genus Baeturia Stal, 1866. Three species (B. bicolorata Distant, B. exhausta Guérin Méneville, and B. vanderhammeni Blöte) are redescribed and five species B. colossea, B. maai, B. rossi, B. versicolor, and B. wauensis) are described as new. A neotype is designated for B. exhausta and the male of B. bicolorata is described for the first time. The synonymy of B. exhausta to Cicada hastipennis Walker and Dundubia parabola Walker is discussed and Cicada parallela Walker is added as a new synonym to this species. A key to the males is provided. The monophyly of the exhausta group and its phylogenetic position within the genus Baeturia are discussed. The exhausta...

Aedeastria, a new cicada genus from New Guinea, its phylogeny and biogeography (Homoptera, Tibicinidae), preceded by a discussion on the taxonomy of New Guinean Tibicinidae

Ano: 1994

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/505000

Characters in male genitalia suggest that several New Guinean and Australian genera of the family Tibicinidae form a monophyletic taxon, indicated here as the “ Baeturia and related genera complex”. A new genus, Aedeastria, forms part of this complex and is erected for two New Guinean species: Aedeastria cobrops n. sp. from Sorong (Cendrawasih) and Aedeastria sepia n. sp. from Cendrawasih, Roon Island and north New Guinea. The phylogenetic position of Aedeastria is discussed and some remarks are made on the biogeography of this genus in relation to the geologic origin of Cendrawasih.

The taxonomy and biogeography of the Conviva group of the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866 (Homoptera, Tibicinidae)

Ano: 1990

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504703

The name conviva group is proposed for a group of five species of the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866, from the Moluccas and the Vogelkop peninsula (= Tjendrawasih), New Guinea. The monophyletic origin of this group is made plausible. Three of the species (B. conviva, B. quadrifida and B. schulzi) are redescribed, while two (B. laureli and B. hardyi) are described as new. For B. schulzi a lectotype is designated. B. hirsuta Blöte, 1960 is brought into the synonymy of B. quadrifida Walker, 1868. A key to the males and a map of the distributions are presented. Biogeographical data of this group suggest an Outer Melanesian Arc distribution.

Guineapsaltria, a new genus from the Australian — New Guinean region (Homoptera, Tibicinidae), with notes on its taxonomy and biogeography

Ano: 1986

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504707

The genus Guineapsaltria is erected for eight species, distributed in New Guinea and northeastern Queensland. Five species are transferred from the genus Baeturia Stål, 1866 and redescribed, viz. G. chinai (Blöte, 1960), G. flava (Goding & Froggatt, 1904), G. pallida (Blöte, 1960), G. stylata (Blöte, 1960), and G. viridula (Blöte, 1960), while three species are described as new to science (G. flaveola n. sp., G. pallidula n. sp., and G. pennyi n.sp.). G. flava is designated as the type species of the genus. Baeturia minuta Blöte, 1960 is synonymized with Guineapsaltria flava. The phylogeny of Guineapsaltria is discussed and some remarks are made on its phylogenetic relationships with other New Guinean and Australian tibicinid genera. A key to the males...

Scottotympana, a new Cicad genus from New Guinea, with the description of three new species, their taxonomy and biogeography (Homoptera, Tibicinidae)

Palavras-chave: Guineapsaltria; Taxonomy; Biogeography; New Guinea; N.E. Australia.

Ano: 1993

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504473

The genus Scottotympana is erected for three species: S. biardae n. sp. and S. sahebdivanii n. sp. from northern New Guinea and S. huibregtsae n. sp. from North-East New Guinea and New Britain. The genus belongs to a complex of genera grouped around Baeturia Stål and is most closely related to the genera Gymnotympana Stål and Venustria Coding & Froggatt of this complex. A key to the males and a map of distribution are presented. The distribution of the genus suggests an Outer Melanesian Arc pattern.

The phylogeny and taxonomic status of the Chlorocystini (sensu stricto) (Homoptera, Tibicinidae)

Ano: 1991

URL: http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/504684

The “Baeturia and related genera complex”, as defined earlier (De Boer, 1990) by shared aedeagal characters, is identified as the tribe Chlorocystini (sensu stricto). The Prasiini (sensu stricto) are identified as the sister group of the Chlorocystini (sensu stricto), while the genus Muda is recognized as the nearest outgroup. The phylogeny and biogeography of the sister group and outgroup is briefly discussed. Baeturia kuroiwae Matsumura is transferred to the genus Muda. A phylogenetic reconstruction of all 147 species of the Chlorocystini (sensu stricto) is presented, based on 154 characters and 409 character states. The computer program PAUP 3.1.1 (Swofford, 1993) was used for analysing the data; the genera Prasia and Muda were used as outgroups in this...
