Abstract
A new mayfly species Sparsorythus chitturensis sp. nov. is described from Kerala, southern India based on nymphal characters. The new species is differentiated from all other known Oriental species by the following combination of characters: (i) segment III of labial palp blunt at apex; (ii) hypopharyngeal lingua is not divided by a rill; and (iii) wing pads reaching the middle of abdominal segment II of final instar larvae. Distribution and ecological notes were provided for the described species.
期刊介绍:
journal encompasses all the varied aspects of entomological research. This has become the felt-need in scientific research due to emphasis on intra-inter, and multi-disciplinary approach. Broadly the journal covers research work on insect morphology, systematics, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, ecology, behaviour, toxicology, economic thresholds and pest management, pesticide formulation, neem and botanical insecticides, synergism, plant introduction and quarantine, legal control; environmental entomology and pollution, global warming and pest outbreaks, changing pest scenario, insect pathology, social insects, apiculture, silkworm, biological control and application of biotechnology in entomology. Also, the research findings of topical interest in the field of forest entomology, medical entomology and veterinary entomology appear in the journal.
