- ItemDesenvolvimento pós-embrionário da morfologia externa dos Mantodea (Insecta: Dictyoptera)(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2020-07-31) Araujo, Marcus Vinicius Scherrer de; Aguiar, Alexandre Pires; https://orcid.org/; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3896223993285180; https://orcid.org/; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Salles, Frederico Falcao; https://orcid.org/0000000183315929; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3964807651730603; Azevedo, Celso Oliveira; https://orcid.org/; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5868655333545172; Moscatelli, Maria Lucia Franca Teixeira; https://orcid.org/; http://lattes.cnpq.br/; Prezotti, LusinerioThe nymph stage of Mantodea represents approximately 50-60% of their total lifespan. Still, compared to the adult form, nymphs have historically received less attention in studies on the group. The biggest knowledge gap seems to be the
- ItemRevisitando a filogenia dos Scleroderminae (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae), com ênfase nos gêneros com 10 flagelomeros antenais(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2017-07-03) Vargas Rojas, Juan Manuel; Azevedo, Celso Oliveira; Aguiar, Alexandre Pires; Lanes, Geane Oliveira de; Almeida, Julia Calhau; Gonzalez Betancourt, Victor HugoThe Scleroderminae have currently 22 genera, seven of them have antennae with 10 flagellomeres. All the previous phylogenetic studied never accessed these genera in their whole range. Thus the main aim of this study is to revisit the phylogenies proposed for Scleroderminae emphasizing these genera, which correspond to the old sense of Cephalonomiini. For that, we analyzed 83 terminals of 21 genera of Scleroderminae and scored118 codified informative characters. Six new genera are proposed, described and illustrated as follows: new genera A, B, C, D, E and F. Twenty-six new species are described and illustrated as follow: A sp. nov. 01 from Thailand, B sp. nov. 02 from Madagascar, B sp. nov. 03 from Madagascar, B sp. nov. 04 from Madagascar, C sp. nov. 05 from Madagascar, D sp. nov. 06 from Madagascar, E sp. nov. 07 from Madagascar, F sp. nov. 08 from Madagascar, Allobethylus sp. nov. 09 from Vanuatu, Alloplastanoxus sp. nov. 10 from Madagascar, Alloplastanoxus sp. nov. 11 from Brazil, Discleroderma sp. nov. 12 from Indonesia, Discleroderma sp. nov. 13 from Thailand, Discleroderma sp. nov. 14 from Thailand, Glenosema sp. nov. 15 from France, Israelius sp. nov. 16 from United Arab Emirates, Israelius sp. nov. 17 from South Africa, Israelius sp. nov. 18 from Madagascar, Megaprosternum sp. nov. 19 from Mariana Islands, Megaprosternum sp. nov. 20 from Laos, Nothepyris sp. nov. 21 from Brazil, Nothepyris sp. nov. 22 from Dominican Republic, Prorops sp. nov. 23 from Thailand, Prorops sp. nov. 24 from Vietnam, Prorops sp. nov. 25 from United Arab Emirates and Tuberepyris sp. nov. 26 from South Africa. Additionally we describe by the first time the male of Nothepyris brasiliensis Evans, the female of Megaprosternum longiceps Azevedo and the first apterous male of Glenosema. Sierola depressa marquisensis had its status elevated and it will be transferred to Thlastepyris and the transference of Israelius amputatus into the genus B will be proposed. Scleroderminae are recovered as a clade with low but positive symmetrical resampling support and the character notauli straight was found as putative synapomorphy for Scleroderminae. The extensive homoplasy across the topology is regarded as evidence of the high morphological diversity in the subfamily. The monophyly of Cephalonomiini is not recovered. The clades recovered by implied weighting include the 11-flagellomered clades (Nothepyris + Discleroderma), (Chilepyris + Glenosema), (Solepyris + (Tuberepyris + (Alongatepyris + Thlastepyris))) that we call flat-bodied clade, a clade D composed mainly by 10-flagellomered genera, and two subclades D1 and D2, recovered by implied weighting, that appears to represent two different lineages. The symmetrical resampling supports as a clade the genera Discleroderma, Glenosema, Alloplastanoxus, Pararhabdepyris and Prorops. The recognition of Nothepyris, Allobethylus, Plastanoxus, Cephalonomia and Israelius as paraphyletic groups, reflecting their poor taxonomy. Israelius becomes a clade from the taxonomic modification proposed. Chilepyris is recognized as sister-group of Glenosema. The male-female association of Galodoxa proposed by Vargas & Azevedo (2016) is recovered and supported. Megaprosternum was found to be polyphyletic in relation to Platepyris and based on the description of a new species with 10 flagellomeres and large pentagonal prosternum is recovered as sister-group of Cephalonomia. Support for other lineages and their impact on the classification of Scleroderminae is discussed. Several character states are mapped onto the new phylogeny, especially the number of flagellomeres that was found homoplastic, and several considerations about the evolution of the characters are presented.
- ItemSistemática de Bethylinae (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae)(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2017-02-01) Ramos, Magno Suprani; Azevedo, Celso Oliveira; Aguiar, Alexandre Pires; Monteiro, Cecília Waichert; Gobbi, Fernanda Tonini; Hermes, Marcel GustavoThe genera of Bethylinae are clearly different one from another. The most of Bethylinae species are known only by the female sex. Their taxonomic boundaries can be considered well established, except for Goniozus Förster. Undoubtedly it is the genus with the highest degree of taxonomic confusion regarding its boundaries. The important characters delimiting Goniozus are also shared by several Bethylinae genera, making classification uncertain and hampering understanding of character evolution and variation between taxa. This subfamily currently comprises approximately 540 species described worldwide classified in eight extant genera with low sexual dimorphism. The phylogeny of Bethylinae lineages has received attention by Sorg in 1988, Polaszek & Krombein in 1994, Terayama in 1995 and De Ploëg & Nel in 2004. In all previous analyses performed there is a basal polytomy among Eupsenella, Lytopsenella and the remaining Bethylinae genera. Here we aimed 1) to review the fossil species of Bethylinae, providing descriptions and illustrations when necessary. In addition, o provide a new key to the fossil species of Bethylinae; 2) to recognize, define and describe Afrobethylus as a new Bethylinae genus, its new species. In addition, to define their diagnostic characteristics, as well as provide a key to species of Afrotropical region based on females; 3) to propose a phylogenetic hypothesis based on morphological data of the genera of Bethylinae drawing especial attention to Eupsenella and Lytopsenella relationships with the other genera of this subfamily; 4) to investigate and discuss the main diagnostic characters of Bethylinae genera. Examined material was provided by several institutions. The descriptions, character list, character matrices for cladistic analysis and key, when necessary, were elaborated with o software DELTA. The searches for the most parsimonious trees were carried out under the software TNT. Here, based on our results, we considered that the fossil genus Protobethylus De Ploëg & Nel, 2004 is a junior synonymous of Eupsenella Westwood, 1874. In addition, based on our rescue and compilation of whole the existing information in Bethylinae the fossil family Fushunochrysidae proposed by Hong in 2002 was synonymized with Bethylidae Haliday, 1839. The single genus of this family is Fushunochrysites Hong, 2002 and its single species F. eocenicus Hong, 2002 was established as its type-species. Here, we propose that the best placement of this monotypic genus in Bethylidae is into Bethylinae. Fushunochrysites displays on its forewing several characters that are also present in all members of Eupsenella. Moreover, Sinibethylus Hong, 2002 from Chinese Xilutian coal mine is here also synonymized with Eupsenella. Finally, the last synonymy of genus proposed here is related to Messoria that was described originally by Meunier in 1916. We here propose 10 Messoria as a new junior synonym of Goniozus and transfer its single Messoria copalina Meunier, 1916 to Goniozus. In addition, based on an unusual combination of characters never seen before to Bethylinae we describe Afrobethylus as a new Bethylinae genus. This Bethylinae genus is the unique excluviley Afrotropical. In the phylogenetic context, the resulting matrices contain a total of 61 species of Bethylinae terminals as ingroup, with a total of 43 characters were coded for males and a total of 87 species, 44 characters were coded for females. The resampling analyses based on both males and females returned support for a sister-group relationship among all extant Bethylinae genera. All genera were retrieved as lineages in both analyses, except Goniozus that was retrieved as paraphyletic in all analyses performed. Our most remarkable result obtained was the resolution of the existing basal polytomy in Bethylinae between Lytopsenella and Eupsenella with the other extant Bethylinae genera. In all analyses performed, these genera were retrieved by the first time as sister-group each other and separated from the other genera in all analyses performed. Based on our results, we discuss the main diagnostic characters of Bethylinae genera mainly present in the antenna, forewing, and finally by the first time in the male and female genitalia. In special, about the forewings in Bethylinae, we suggest practicable approaches to functional morphology to the venation in the Bethylinae clades. The present study is the most comprehensive cladistic treatment dedicated to the understanding of the evolution of the Bethylinae genera, and the first to consider a global sampling of species of this subfamily. We conclude that the morphological characters unexplored, mainly, of male and female genitalia might offer additional data relevant to more robustly estimate the phylogenetic history of this group. Here, we also promote a first step to direct and encourage future research in Bethylinae using the arrangement of forewing veins, flexion lines and male and female genitalia characters to phylogenetic reconstruction.
