Detailed description and illustration of larva, pupa and imago of Holorusia mikado (Westwood, 1876) (Diptera: Tipulidae) from Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Holorusia Loew, 1863 (Diptera: Tipulidae) is a relatively large crane fly genus with a wide distribution in the Afrotropic, Australasian-Oceanian, Eastern Palearctic, Oriental and Nearctic Regions. Although the genus is well known to include the largest crane fly species, the immature stages are, thus far, only described for the larva and pupa of the North American Holorusia hesperea Arnaud & Byers, 1990.

New information

In this study, we describe for the first time the egg, larva and pupae of the Japanese Holorusia mikado (Westwood, 1876). Larvae were collected from semi-aquatic habitats, from slow flowing areas of streams and small waterfalls where leaf litter accumulates; the larvae are detritivores and feed on wet, decomposing leaves. The larvae were reared to adults in the laboratory. Morphological characters of immature stages discussed with comparison with the North American H. hespera. Male and female genitalia are illustrated and described in detail for the first time.

Description and DNA barcoding of Tipula ( Pterelachisus) recondita sp. n. from the Palaearctic region (Diptera, Tipulidae).

Project description:Tipula (Pterelachisus) recondita Pilipenko & Salmela, sp. n. is described. The new species is collected from two localities: Finland, Kittilä (North boreal ecoregion) and Russia, Primorski kray (Zone of temperate broadleaf and mixed forests). Although variation in the structure of male hypopygium between the Finnish and Russian populations is observed, DNA barcode sequences differ only by three nucleotides (0.2 % K2P distance), supporting presence of one widespread species. K2P minimum distances between the new species and 17 other species of the subgenus range from 5.3 to 15.8 % (mean 8.8 %). The new species is forest-dwelling, known from an old-growth herb-rich forest (Finland) and Quercus mongolica forest (Russia). The new species is perhaps closest to Tipula (Pterelachisus) imitator Alexander and in lesser extent to Tipula (Pterelachisus) pauli Mannheims; the inner gonostylus of both species are illustrated.

Description of larva and pupa of Laenahaigouica (Tenebrionidae, Laenini) from China based on morphology and four DNA makers.

Project description:The larvae, pupae, and adults of Laenahaigouica Schawaller, 2001 were collected during recent fieldwork in the Sichuan Province (China). Since the pupal morphology of Laena has never been investigated this created an opportunity to provide the first description. Moreover, prior to this study larval characters of only one species, Laenastarcki Reitter, 1887, were known. Therefore, description of the larva of L.haigouica enabled the first verification of the intrageneric stability of larval characters revealed for other Laena species. Association of the studied immature stages with the adults was confirmed by analysing COI sequences. Additionally, three other loci (16S, Cytb, 28S) were sequenced for L.haigouica during this study.

New synonym of Tipula (Vestiplex) wahlgrenana Alexander, 1968 (Diptera: Tipulidae).

Project description:Based on examination of type specimens a crane fly species Tipula (Vestiplex) hugueniniana Alexander, 1971 is proposed as junior synonym of Tipula (V.) wahlgrenana Alexander, 1968. The new synonymy is based on similarity of male genitalia.

The mitochondrial genome of Nephrotoma Tenuipes (Diptera Tipulidae).

Project description:The crane fly Nephrotoma tenuipes belongs to family Tipulidae. The mitogenome of N. tenuipes was sequenced, the new representative of the mitogenome of the family Tipulidae. The nearly complete mitogenome is 14,851 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have the similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Tipulidae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 76.04％of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Tipuloidea. It suggested that the phylogenetic relationship within Tipuloidea is Pediciidae + (Limoniidae + (Tipulidae + Cylindrotomidae)).

Description of a new species of Mediotipula from Albania, with consideration of the eastern Mediterranean as a diversity hotspot (Diptera, Tipulidae).

Project description:A new species of the TipulasubgenusMediotipula is described from the south-eastern part of Albania, south-eastern Europe. Morphologically, the new species is most similar to T. (M.) stigmatella Schummel, 1833, but differs mainly with respect to males, having a distinctly shaped posterior margin of tergite 9-10, a widened outer gonostylus and a series of details of the inner gonostylus (anterior end of the anterior arm, shape of the posterior arm), as well as having more bulbous and rounded hypogynal valves in the females. Further morphological differences of the male terminalia between allopatric populations of T. (M.) stigmatella in the Carpathians and Balkans, south-eastern Europe, are discussed.

Two Splice Isoforms of Leptinotarsa Ecdysis Triggering Hormone Receptor Have Distinct Roles in Larva-Pupa Transition.

Project description:Insect ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH) receptors (ETHRs) are rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors. Upon binding its ligand ETH, ETHR initiates a precisely programed ecdysis behavior series and physiological events. In Drosophila melanogaster, the ethr gene produces two functionally distinct splicing isoforms, ethra and ethrb. ETH/ETHRA activates eclosion hormone (EH), kinin, crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP), and bursicon (burs and pburs) neurons, among others, in a rigid order, to elicit the behavioral sequences and physiological actions for ecdysis at all developmental stages, whereas ETH/ETHRB is required at both pupal and adult ecdysis. However, the role of ETHRB in regulation of molting has not been clarified in any non-drosophila insects. In the present paper, we found that 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) signaling triggers the expression of both ethra and ethrb in a Coleopteran insect pest, the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata. RNA interference (RNAi) was performed using double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) targeting the common (dsethr) or isoform-specific (dsethra, dsethrb) regions of ethr. RNAi of dsethr, dsethra, or dsethrb by the final-instar larvae arrested larva development. The arrest was not rescued by feeding 20E. All the ethra depleted larvae stopped development at prepupae stage; the body cavity was expanded by a large amount of liquid. Comparably, more than 80% of the ethrb RNAi larvae developmentally halted at the prepupae stage. The remaining Ldethrb hypomorphs became pupae, with blackened wings and highly-expressed burs, pburs and four melanin biosynthesis genes. Therefore, ETHRA and ETHRB play isoform-specific roles in regulation of ecdysis during larva-pupa transition in L. decemlineata.
