Phytoecia (Pseudopilemia) kostali sp. nov. from North Iran is described. The habitus and male genitalia are illustrated.

Abstract A revision of the Nabis punctipennis complex is here provided. (Austronabis) subgen. nov. (type species: N. (A.) Blanchard) from South America described based on male and female genitalia. This new subgenus compared with all other subgenera in world a key for 13 composed of: argentinus Meyer-Dur, faminei Stal, paranensis Harris punctipennis. Redescriptions each species are given, image...

Nagiella occultalis Misbah & Yang, sp. n. from China is described and illustrated. This new species is very similar to N. quadrimaculalis (Kollar, 1844) in general morphological characters of forewing and male genitalia. Molecular evidence shows that these two species diverge in COI barcode region by more than 3.2%. Sequence divergence among the two species is congruent with subtle morphologica...

Courtship in Drosophila is used already to screen genes linked to memory-deficiency and neurodegeneration in humans. However the research community does not understand the mechanism which gives rise to courtship patterns. When a male fly encounters a female fly, he starts to follow her, licks her genitalia, sings a courtship song and eventually bends his abdomen to reach her genitalia [1]. Male...

Findings Out of 85 patients 34.2% was female and 65.8% were male (mean age 6.5± 3.9 years). Clinical symptoms were skin involvement in all patients (100%), GI involvement in 70.6%, joint and renal involvement (in acute phase) in 57.6% and 21.2%, respectively. Out of 56 male patients, 35.7% had genitalia involvement (75% scrotal swelling, 45% epididimo-orchitis like symptoms, 5% penis inflammati...

Male genitalia in several insect species are asymmetry in right and left shape. However, the function of such asymmetric male genitalia is still unclear. We found that the male genitalia of the damselfly Calopteryx cornelia (Odonata: Calopterygidae) are morphologically symmetric just after emergence but asymmetric after reproductive maturation. Males remove rival sperm stored in the female burs...

Eristalis obscura Loew, 1866, is Holarctic in distribution and E. pseudorupium Kanervo, 1938 and£. beltrami Telford, 1970 are junior synonyms of it. E. obscura shows a great morphological variation of the superior lobe in the male genitalia, which is documented by illustrations. The distinguishing characters of E. obscura and other similar species are briefly discussed. The male genitalia of E....

Gadirtha fusca sp. n., is described from Guangxi Province, China. Gadirtha fusca differs in forewing color and pattern, male and female genitalia, and in larval pattern from all other species of Gadirtha. Gadirtha fusca has been evaluated as a potential biological control agent for Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera (L.) Small, Euphorbiaceae) in the southeastern United States. Adult, male and fe...
