Abstract
The genus Hieroglyphus Krauss, 1877 is reviewed and a key to all the species is given. Diagnoses of all the previously known species from India are given. Four species are redescribed and illustrated along with description and illustration of one new species (H. acuticercus) from western Uttar Pradesh. The characteristic feature of the new species is the presence of acute male cercus which makes it different from the other species. The finding of this study will be useful in making predictions about the relationships of this group and for accurate identifications of the species in the future.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:986059C4-CB77-F27-A937-DB6F51AC7DAC
期刊介绍:
Tropical Zoology is an international zoological journal publishing original papers in the field of systematics, biogeography, phylogeny, ecology and conservation of all terrestrial and aquatic animal Phyla from tropical and subtropical areas.
Only papers with new information, high quality and broad interest are considered. Single species description and checklists are not normally accepted. Review papers are welcome. The journal is owned by the Istituto di Ricerca sugli Ecosistemi Terrestri of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Florence, Italy (CNR-IRET) who performs research into the structure and functioning of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, focusing in particular on anthropogenic pressure and global change. The knowledge amassed forms the scientific basis for identifying the most appropriate protective and corrective interventions, and provides support for the bodies entrusted with formulating policies for environmental protection and recovery.
