Oxyporinae are a visually attractive and highly specialized mycophagous subfamily of rove beetles (Staphylinidae) with enigmatic origins largely unknown evolutionary history. Our knowledge their immature stages biology, valuable for solving questions about phylogeny, is still very fragmentary. Here, we describe the first time larval morphology Oxyporus (s. str.) procerus Kraatz, 1879 O. (Pseudoxyporus) melanocephalus Kirschenblatt, 1938, both from Russian Far East. We redescribe widespread...

The plant bug fauna of China is highly diverse and relatively poorly documented, with almost 900 currently known species, about a half which had been revealed during the last two decades (Qi et al. 2003, 2007, Konstantinov & Namyatova 2008, 2009, 2013). Future studies would certainly reveal many new species from region. However, present day distributions Chinese bugs apparently reflect significant climate change since Tertiary Period, are largely influenced by influx other regions....

This paper provides a review of the plant bug subfamily Bryocorinae (Hemiptera: Miridae) European Russia and Caucasus. Although several bryocorine species are widely used as biological control agents, delimitation remains challenging even in relatively well-studied fauna. We provide diagnoses, distribution data, host information, illustrated keys to six genera 21 found region. The following new records given: Dicyphus (B.) albonasutus Wagner, 1951 (Crimea Caucasus, North Ossetia),...

Abstract The Issidae are highly diverse in terms of morphology and species richness. Despite recent efforts, the internal phylogeny classification this planthopper family remain controversial. Here, we present a inferred with Bayesian Maximum Likelihood analyses nine‐gene molecular dataset (4702 bp) morphological data (35 characters) across broad sample taxa (99 terminals). Based on these results, verify taxonomic status issid subfamilies, tribes generic complexes. Results revealed...

Abstract The classification of the hyperdiverse true bug family M iridae is far from settled, and particularly contentious for cosmopolitan subfamily B ryocorinae. morphological diversity within pronounced, a lack explicit character formulation hampers stability in classification. Molecular partitions are few only handful taxa have been sequenced. In this study phylogeny ryocorinae has analysed based on data alone, with an emphasis evaluating tribe D icyphina sensu S chuh, 1976, which...

The phylogenetic relationships among major lineages of the planthopper family Issidae were explored by analyzing a molecular dataset nine fragments (COI, CytB, 12S, H3, 16S, 18SII, 18SIII, 28S D3–D5, D6–D7) and 48 terminal taxa. Bayesian Maximum likelihood analyses yielded similar mostly well-resolved trees with moderate to high support for most branches. obtained results suggest subdivision Spinola into two subfamilies, Issinae Spinola, 1839 (= Thioniinae Melichar, 1906, = Hemisphaeriinae...

Species delimitation presents a significant challenge in biology, particularly systematics. Here, an integrative approach is employed to assess the species boundaries of widely distributed Palearctic Stenodema species. Due their diversity, wide distribution, and absence comprehensive morphological molecular data for most species, revising both daunting time-consuming. Our study focuses on detailed examinations male female genitalia, coupled with phylogenetic analyses based two mitochondrial...

Abstract Deep learning algorithms and particularly convolutional neural networks are very successful in pattern recognition from images increasingly employed biology. The development of automated systems for rapid reliable species identification is vital insect systematics may revolutionize this field soon. In study, we demonstrate the ability a network to identify based on habitus photographs with expert‐level accuracy taxonomically challenging group where human‐based would require...

A cladistic analysis of the tribe Bryocorini based on 68 morphological characters is conducted. are supported as a monophyletic group with Eccritotarsini their sister taxon. Based phylogenetic analysis, we redefine to contain following seven genera: BryocorellaCarvalho, 1956, BryocorisFallén, 1829, BryophilocapsusYasunaga, 2000, CobalorrhynchusReuter, 1906 gen. dist., Diplazicoris nov., HekistaKirkaldy, 1902, and MonalocorisDahlbom, 1851. The genus Bryocorella transferred from...

The higher classification of the mirid subfamily Bryocorinae has received comparatively little attention. It is not highly species-rich in comparison with other subfamilies but does exhibit extraordinary morphological heterogeneity. In this work we provide a synthesis on global basis, providing new key and updated diagnoses supraspecific taxa. Five tribes are recognised: Bryocorini, Dicyphini, Eccritotarsini, Felisacini Monaloniini. genus Campyloneura Fieber transferred from tribe Dicyphini...
