摘要
我们提出了斯里兰卡Medeopteryx Ballantyne萤火虫属的第一个记录,并描述了来自斯里兰卡南部Matara红树林相关沿海栖息地的一个新种Med. tabprobana De Silva, Gamage & Wijekoon sp. nov.的雄性,雌性和幼虫,以及它们基于线粒体DNA条形码的系统发育定位。这个新种与其他雀鸟的不同之处在于,它没有三分形的后突(有一个弱的正中后突),也没有喙鞘的其他特殊特征。提出了一份最新的种表和世界上所描述的种的索引。
Medeopteryx taprobana sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Lampyridae: Luciolinae): A new species from coastal habitats in Southern, Sri Lanka
We present the first record of the firefly genus Medeopteryx Ballantyne from Sri Lanka with descriptions of male, female, and larvae of a new species, Med. taprobana De Silva, Gamage & Wijekoon sp. nov., from a mangrove–associated coastal habitat in Matara, Southern, Sri Lanka, with their phylogenetic placement based on mitochondrial DNA barcoding. This new species is distinguished from other Medeopteryx by not having trisinuate posterior projections (with a weak median posterior projection) of ventrite 7 and other specific characteristics of the aedeagal sheath. An updated list of species and a key to Medeopterx described species in the world are presented.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
