Incarvillea is a herbaceous and temperate member of Bignoniaceae, previously divided into four subgenera, Niedzwedzkia, Amphicome, Incarvillea, and Pteroscleris. Niedzwedzkia and Amphicome have in the past been treated as independent genera. Different relationships have been proposed for the four subgenera. Here, maximum parsimony analysis using ITS and trnL-F sequences resulted in similar tree...

The subgenus Molpemyia is resurrected from synonymy with the subgenus Finlaya and the species Aedes auridorsum, Ae. pecuniosus and Ae. purpureus are assigned to it. The subgenus is fully redescribed and features given to distinguish it from the other subgenera of Aedes. The three included species are redescribed and pertinent stages and structures are illustrated. Tables include the chaetotaxy ...

Four new species of the subgenus Nanoplebeia Engel (genus Plebeia Schwarz) are described and figured as: (Nanoplebeia) pleres Engel, species, from Venezuela; P. (N.) asthenes Bolivia; orphne Ecuador Peru; chondra Ecuador. A key is presented to subgenus.

The Afrotropical fruit fly genus Ceratitis MacLeay is an economically important group that comprises over 89 species, subdivided into six subgenera. Cladistic analyses of morphological and host use characters have produced several phylogenetic hypotheses for the genus. Only monophyly of the subgenera Pardalaspis and Ceratitis (sensu stricto) and polyphyly of the subgenus Ceratalaspis are common...

Duolandrevus crickets are brown, smooth, shiny and bear reduced tegmina. They are forest species and have an equatorial distribution. Only the subgenus Eulandrevus of this genus, containing three species, has been recorded from China. Here, an additional species is described, recently discovered on Hainan Island, China. This species is similar to Duolandrevus (Eulandrevus) hongkongae Otte, 1988...

Phylogenetic analyses were performed using multiple nuclear (ITS and ETS) and chloroplast regions (ndhF-trnL, psbA-trnH, psbD-trnT, and trnT-trnL) to test the monophyly of Aconitum subgen. Lycoctonum (Ranunculaceae) and reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships within the subgenus. The subgenus as currently circumscribed is revealed to be polyphyletic. To achieve its monophyly, sect. Galeata a...

REZNICEK, A. A. 1990. Evolution in sedges (Carex, Cyperaceae). Can. J. Bot. 68: 1409-1432. Carex is the largest and most widespread genus of Cyperaceae, but evolutionary relationships within it are poorly understood. Subgenus Primocarex was generally thought to be artificial and derived from diverse multispicate species. Relationships of rachilla-bearing species of subgenus Primocarex, however,...

A new species of the Stegana (Steganina) ornatipes species group (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is described from Hainan, China, S. (S.) xipengi sp. nov. Based on the mitochondrial ND2 and COI gene sequences, the relationships among eight species from mainland China of the ornatipes group, and their relationships to the undulata, nigrolimbata and shirozui species groups of the same subgenus, are inve...

According to the increased fungi contaminations and related damages, microbiologist's incentive in considering the fungal contaminations in human habitats had increased. Some of fungi cause disease through production of toxins in animals as well as humans. Since these toxins are not easily distinguishable, then it is crucial to study their characteristics. Aspergillus are among the most importa...

In the present contribution, author summarizes his knowledge concerning subgenus Smaragdula supplemented by a key to species and two new of subgenus Smaragdula Pesarini & Sabbadini, 2004, Agapanthiini Audinet-Serville, 1835. The come from Turkey. Both them, Agapanthia (Smaragdula) grosseri sp. nov. Agapanthia kadleci perfectly fall into the homogeneous as their habitus. is similar chylybae...
