Name

Calogalesus Kieffer, 1912 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

  • Calogalesus Kieffer, 1912b: 6, 43. Type species: Calogalesus parvulus Kieffer, 1912, by monotypy; Kieffer 1912a[1]: 73; Kieffer 1916[2]: 10, 235; Muesebeck and Walkley 1956[3]: 338; Johnson 1992[4]: 145; Masner and García Rodríguez 2002[5]: 116; Rajmohana 2006[6]; 36.
  • Calicuta Rajmohana & Narendran, 2000a: 22–23, unavailable name; Rajmohana and Narendran 2000b[7]: 193; Rajmohana & Narendran, in Rajmohana 2004[8]: 519, 521; Rajmohana 2006[6]: 36.

Diagnosis

Body mainly blackish-brown, brown or orange, smooth and shiny. Head with antennal shelf strongly projecting, laterally sharply angled and medially divided; frons with a curved carina on each side extending backwards, forming a ledge above upper eye orbit. Mandible bidentate or tridentate, together beak-like, projecting backwards. Antenna 12-segmented in female, 14-segmented in male; with A1 the longest segment. Female antenna without a clearly defined clava, but flagellar segments more or less thickened apically. Notauli distinct, not reaching transscutal articulation. Scutellum with two large anterior foveae. Fore wing with well-developed marginal cilia and two elongate hairless zones. Petiole strongly curved in lateral view.

Biology

This genus shows a nasiform head (elongated with frontal projections) and opisthognathous (backwards directed) beak-like mandibles, which may be associated with digging for hosts and/or bursting from host remains (Nielsen and Buffington 2011[9]).

Distribution

The genus is known from the following biogeographic regions: Afrotropical (Masner and García Rodríguez 2002[5]); Australian (Masner and García Rodríguez 2002[5]); Malagasy (Kieffer 1912a[1], 1912b[10], 1916[2]; Masner 1965[11]; Gerlach 2013[12]; Notton 2014[13]; Madl 2015[14]); Neotropical (Masner and García Rodríguez 2002[5]; Arias-Penna 2003[15]); Oriental (Rajmohana 2004[8], 2006[6]; Rajmohana and Narendran 2000a[16], 2000b[7]; Rajmohana and Bijoy 2012[17]; Rajmohana et al. 2013[18]).

Remarks

The genus Calicuta was described by Rajmohana and Narendran (2000a)[16] without type species designation, without included species and was not explicitly indicated as new. It is therefore an unavailable name. A formal publication of the name was intended but was abandoned following the realization that it was the same genus as Calogalesus Kieffer (Rajmohana 2006[6]; Rajmohana pers. comm. with Notton). The name Calicuta was not made available by any of the subsequent publications of Rajmohana and Narendran cited here.
