Fifteen locations (25 sites) were investigated by means of light traps and/or interception sticky traps in 2009, 2011 and 2018. Phlebotomus mascittii Grassi, 1908 was the only sand fly species identified, and it was detected at three locations of the Vosges foothills, in both 2011 and 2018. This study confirms the occurrence of P. mascittii in the Upper Rhine valley of Alsace, around 70 years after the first and single historical report.

The geographic patterns of genetic and morphological variability in G. minor were examined. The phylogenetic structure was assessed using the barcode fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene. We detected 35 unique COI haplotypes in in G. minor, with only two common haplotypes for both the Palaearctic and Nearctic regions. A higher number of COI haplotypes was detected in the Eurasian populations (27 haplotypes) than in the North American samples (eight haplotypes). The diversity of mitochondrial DNA haplotypes and the degree of genetic differences between five geographic populations of G. minor varies. Morphological analysis did not reveal correlations between haplotypes and morphological characters. A genetic comparison of G. minor with morphologically close Palaearctic (G. maculata, G. rufitibia) and Nearctic species (G. ungava, G. minuta, G. americana, G. transitionis) was made. The newly obtained COI sequences of Graphomya species (155) were combined with those published in the GenBank and BOLD databases (76) and were analysed using the species delimitation software ASAP. The results of these species delimitation analyses validated the morphological species in Graphomya and revealed two new species lineages of Graphomya located in north-eastern and south-eastern Russia. Based on the results of our analyses, we concluded that G. minor is a valid widespread polymorphic Holarctic species and is not a junior synonym of G. maculata; and assign 30 unidentified sequences from BOLD and GenBank to named morphospecies.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"418 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122910817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since an exhaustive definition of this genus complex has not been available to date, the general morphology of all the constituent genera of the Epaphiopsis complex is presented here. A new subgenus of Epaphiopsis, Shunichiepaphius n. subgen., is created for a new species, E. unidentata n. sp., discovered from northern Vietnam. This monotypic new subgenus, and its type species, are characterized by the strongly transverse microsculpture covering the nearly entire dorsal surface of head; by the first discal setiferous pore of elytra located in interstria 4; by the preapical pore of elytra located before the level of the anterior end of recurrent stria; by the large copulatory piece of endophallus which is doubled and knot-shaped with the apical part rounded; and above all by the male protarsi with only the first segment dilated and denticulate inwards. A new species of the subgenus Allepaphiama, E. (A.) beni n. sp., was collected in the Solukhumbu district of Nepal, which is the border between the range of the Trechus rolwalingensis species-group and the previously known range of the subgenus Allepaphiama. This new species bears a reduced chaetotaxy, i.e. only one seta on each side of the clypeus, and, as in the species described by Schmidt in 2016, only two discal setae in stria 3 (or interval 4) but without discal seta in stria 5. Finally, to help a better understanding of the systematics of the Epaphiopsis complex, a preliminary overview of the female ectodermic genital tract of the taxa belonging to the Epaphiopsis complex and several other taxa of Trechini is presented.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124815271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the cryptic habits of these species, little is known on their biological aspects, especially for the immature stage. In this study, we investigated morphometric traits of lesser stag beetle, Dorcus parallelipipedus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) larvae and adults, with comparisons between populations. Instar identification by measuring larval head capsule was performed, and the relationship between larval body mass and head capsule width was investigated for each surveyed population. To assess the differences among populations, the scaling relationships for adults between their body and mandibles length was also considered, especially for adult males. Morphometric relationships were described by exponential equations. Differences between populations were sometimes limited to one or the other feature, and particularly ascribed to the larval body mass. These differences could be imputed to several factors, among with those of environmental or genetic order. The scaling relationship of lesser stag beetle adult males showed a positive allometry but did not differ among populations, indicating that morphological traits within a species and sex may be biologically retained. Findings are discussed from the perspective of D. parallelipipedus life history.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127366270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
