The new genus Graziaphylus is described to include two species, joceliae and G. nigripes. This taxon part of a large suite Heteroptera from Australia known feed on species Eremophila (Scrophulariaceae), including other members the Miridae as well Tingidae. appearance spp. similar that Xiphoidellus Weirauch Schuh Australia, Chlamydatus Fieber Northern Hemisphere (among genera), but with scalelike setae, elongate pulvilli adnate over most claw length, distinctive structure male genitalia.
The latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) encoded by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) plays a major role in maintaining latency and is critical for the perpetual segregation of viral episomes to progeny nuclei newly divided cells. LANA binds KSHV terminal repeat (TR) DNA tethers host chromosomes through association chromatin-bound cellular proteins. TR elements serve as potential origin sites replication have been shown play important roles latent transcription adjacent...
The South African sister genera Parapseudosthenarus Schuh and Pseudosthenarus Poppius are revised. A monophyletic group containing both is diagnosed. Two new species of described, bringing the total to three. Seven 11. Morphological details documented with light scanning electron microscopy; whole insects colour digital photographs. Approaches discrimination discussed. shown be broadly distributed across Africa Namibia whereas restricted Namaqualand Little Karoo. Extensive host documentation...
Henryognathus , new genus, with the single included species H.thomasi is described from western North America. The taxon recorded as feeding on of Arctostaphylos (Ericaceae) in California and Arizona. Coloration many morphological attributes are similar to Plagiognathus Fieber, but structure male genitalia distinctive.
Macrotylushenryi is described as a new species from South Africa. This taxon recorded feeding on of Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) in the Western Cape. Documentation provided form diagnosis, description, habitus photographs, scanning electron micrographs, illustrations and images genitalic structures, detailed distributional data, host plant information, hosts habitats. Morphological traits are similar to Macrotylus Fieber Northern Hemisphere, but coloration substantially variable, structure male...
Until now, the occurrence of Pericapritermes ceylonicus (Holmgren) was not confirmed in Indian mainland. Here, we document this species from Karnataka state constituting its first report India. The identified based on soldier caste, and worker characters were described for time, including digestive tube enteric valve armature. characterized by presence gradually reducing triangular spines. study provides basis further taxonomic characterization occurring India using gut morphology workers.
