“…The genus Chelostoma, whose placement switched from the Heriades group to the Osmia group in the past, did not appear to be related to any of these two groups but clearly emerged as the sister group of all other Osmiini. Hence, it would deserve the same rank as the Heriades and the Osmia group, often recognized as subtribes Heriadina and Osmiina, respectively (Engel, 2005;Ungricht et al, in press). The monophyly of the genus Chelostoma is also supported by several unique morphological traits such as the orientation of the third and fourth labial palpi, the nonfringed labrum of females as well as the presence of a comb-like structure on sternum 5 of males (Michener, 2007;Sedivy et al, in press).…”

KeywordsBiogeography Bayesian analysis Maximum likelihood Ancestral Character evolution Nesting behavior a b s t r a c tThe Osmiini (Megachilidae) constitute a taxonomically and biologically diverse tribe of bees. To resolve their generic and suprageneric relationships, we inferred a phylogeny based on three nuclear genes (Elongation factor 1-a, LW-rhodopsin and CAD) applying both parsimony and Bayesian methods. Our phylogeny, which includes 95 osmiine species representing 18 of the 19 currently recognized genera, is well resolved with high support for most basal nodes. The core osmiine genera were found to form a well-supported monophyletic group, but four small genera, Noteriades, Afroheriades, Pseudoheriades and possibly Ochreriades, formerly included in the Osmiini, do not appear to belong within this tribe. Our phylogeny results in the following taxonomic changes: Stenosmia and Hoplosmia are reduced to subgeneric rank in Hoplitis and Osmia, respectively, Micreriades is recognized as a subgenus in Hoplitis and the subgenus Nasutosmia is transferred from Hoplitis to Osmia. We inferred a biogeographic scenario for the Osmiini applying maximum likelihood inference and models of character evolution. We provide evidence that the Osmiini originated in the Palearctic, and that extensive exchanges occurred between the Palearctic and the Nearctic. The latter finding may relate to the fact that many osmiine species nest in wood or in stems , facilitating dispersal by overseas transport of the nests.

The first male of the extinct bee tribe Melikertini (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Abstract. The first male bee of the extinct corbiculate tribe Melikertini Engel (Apinae) is described and figured. Mochlomelikertes hoffeinsorum Engel, Breitkreuz, & Ohl, new genus and species, is easily distinguished from other groups within the tribe based on unique male modifications as well as a distinctive forewing venation. Some melikertines are famous for their peculiar modifications and processes, specifically the uniquely enlarged clypeal protrusions found in the genus Succinapis Engel. Mochlomelikertes hoffeinsorum has its own singularly bizarre modifications, particularly an elongate, narrow extension of the mesoscutellum which projects posteriorly over the metanotum, propodeum, and part of the metasoma. The significance of these structures is briefly discussed.

“…The rank epifamily, with the suffix -oidae, has been used between superfamily and family for reptiles (Bour & Dubois, 1984;de la Fuente, 2003;van der Meijdin & others, 2005) and for insects (M. Engel, 2005). The term series has been used between superfamily and family for Lepidoptera.…”

A Synoptical Classification of the Bivalvia (Mollusca)

The following classification summarizes the suprageneric taxonomy of the Bivalvia for the upcoming revision of the Bivalvia volumes of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part N. The development of this classification began with Carter (1990a), Campbell, Hoekstra, and Carter (1995), Campbell (2000, and Campbell (2000, 2006), who, with assistance from the United States National Science Foundation, conducted large-scale morphological phylogenetic analyses of mostly Paleozoic bivalves, as well as molecular phylogenetic analyses of living bivalves. During the past several years, their initial phylogenetic framework has been revised and greatly expanded through collaboration with many students of bivalve biology and paleontology, many of whom are coauthors. During this process, all available sources of phylogenetic information, including molecular, anatomical, shell morphological, shell microstructural, bio-and paleobiogeographic as well as stratigraphic, have been integrated into the classification. The more recent sources of phylogenetic information include, but are not limited to, Carter (1990a), Malchus (1990), J. Schneider (1995, 1998a, 1998b, 2002, T. Waller (1998), Hautmann (1999Hautmann ( , 2001aHautmann ( , 2001b, Giribet and Wheeler (2002), Giribet and Distel (2003), Dreyer, Steiner, and Harper (2003), Matsumoto (2003), Harper, Dreyer, and Steiner (2006), Kappner and Bieler (2006), Mikkelsen and others (2006), Neulinger and others (2006), Taylor and Glover (2006), Kříž (2007), B. Morton (2007, Taylor and others (2007), Giribet (2008), andKirkendale (2009). This work has also benefited from the nomenclator of bivalve families by Bouchet and Rocroi (2010) and its accompanying classification by Bieler, Carter, and Coan (2010).This classification strives to indicate the most likely phylogenetic position for each taxon. Uncertainty is indicated by a question mark before the name of the taxon. Many of the higher taxa continue to undergo major taxonomic revision. This is especially true for the superfamilies Sphaerioidea and Veneroidea, and the orders Pectinida and Unionida. Because of this state of flux, some parts of the classification represent a compromise between opposing points of view. Placement of the Trigonioidoidea is especially problematic. This Mesozoic superfamily has traditionally been placed in the order Unionida, as a possible derivative of the superfamily Unionoidea (see Cox, 1952;Sha, 1992Sha, , 1993Gu, 1998;Guo, 1998;Bieler, Carter, & Coan, 2010). However, Chen Jin-hua (2009) summarized evidence that Trigonioidoidea was derived instead from the superfamily Trigonioidea. Arguments for these alternatives appear equally strong, so we presently list the Trigonioidoidea, with question, under both the Trigoniida and Unionida, with the contents of the superfamily indicated under the Trigoniida. Typified Versus Descriptive NamesThe present classification gives preference to typified names over descriptive names above the family-group, following the recommendation by Stys and Kerzhner (1975) an...
