Theme
of Dieuches
The mo�ograph of Dieuches is a major contrib ution
to our knowledge of these insects. It describes and
keys

species,
71
of them
had not been revised as
an
new
to science. The genus
entity for a complete cent­
ury. h!;any early descriptions were inadequate, and the­
re
w-as no E..e y to all
the
des cribed species in the genus.
The aim of the study was to set limits of the genus,
and carefully distinguish Dieuches from closely related
�nera,
as well as to provide accur�te drawings,
good
descriptions and a �ey to species to facilitate identi­
fication.
All of the drawings,
ir.cluding habitus draw-
3
�ngs (except the frontispiece) were done by the appli­
c;ant.
Perhaps one of the features of the monograph of
Dieuches (and the Rhypodes revision) is the numerical
taxonomic analysis. This technique was only beginning
to
be seriously applied about the time the monograph
of
Dieuches was published, 1973 (and about a handful
of
years before).1
There were some "knotty11 problems to solve because
misidentifications and erroneous synon.my in the
of
past - for example, determining what true Dieuches
armatipes (Walker) was. All that remains of the hole­
type is the head, prothorax, first antennal segment
and one foreleg (see pages 102-103 and 106-107). For
•
other problems and their solutions (where there was
previously confusion with other species) see comments
under D.armipes (F.) and its complex, D.patruelis
(St81), D.longicollis (Dallas), D.alternatus Horvath
(other records), D.femoralis Dohrn, D.herero Breddin
and
D.oceanicus (Distant).
The monograph of Dieuches was well received, as in­
dicated in excerpts from some book reviews cited below.

described and figured, with a discussion on taxonomic­
ally important characters, a key to those species and
genera based on male genitalia, and the description of
denticulate area on the parameres believed to facili­

Some Further Work Generated by Suppo rting Papers
on
other Rhyparochrominae
The paper on the rhyparochromine tribe Targaremini
(no.
)
A11 , which included a key to the genera of Tar­
garemini of the '.vorld and a section on zoogeography,
has generated further research publications by another
1
scientist. Malipatil described a further new species
of !1/-etagerra 7ihi te and revalidated M. helmsi
( Reuter )
which had b een synonyrnised with obscura White by Ber­
groth in 1916. Much additional material from more re­
cent collecting was available to him enabling discuss­
ion on distribution, wing polymorphism, habitat and
host plant data. Morphological and distributional evi­
dence revealed that M.distincta Eyles 1967 is only a
long-membrane form of M.obscura, and is synonymised
with it. Interestingly, Malipatil states in his descr­
iption of the long-membrane form of obscura "The orig­
inal description of distincta applies entirely to this
form of obscura." 'i'11is includes prominent
punctation
on pronotum, scutellum considerably longer than wide,
and a tapering apical process on the aedeagus, all of
which distinguish it from tile short-membrane form
( which
has on the aedeagus a stout apical process,
hooked or strongly flared
)

lier decision (in paper A15) to synonymise Brachynysius

new species are described and added to the five preViously :mown members.
O!udsona anceps (1\'hite) is added
11
by the new synonymy of Hudsona Evans ;;,rith Rhypodes.
A
range of characters occurs within the genus, some
quite bizzare,
.
making Rhypodes the most remarkable
genus in the Orsillinae. Until this study,
insuffic-
ient species were known for earlier workers to adequ­
ately describe the genus Rhypodes or to define its
limits.
Each species is figured with a habitus photograph
or drawing,
line drawings of male and female genitalia
( except where only one or two specimens were availab­
le ) , and often of other parts. The 28 known species
are keyed. There is an illustrated section on general
morphology,
which also lists the most useful diagnos­
tic characters. There are further sections on limits
of the genus,
comments on tribal classification,
num­
erical analysis of phenetic relationships and biology.
One problem involving confusion of three species
was solved. R.clavicornis

and R.cognatus Eyles

confusion and a tendency to lump everything lacking

�velopment of the Contributions on the l!i:iridae Theme
The studies on iY1iridae began when the applicant
collected a species of Megaloceroea Fieber in New Ze�
I
land which differed from the New Zealand species M.
reuteriana Vlhite and proved to be M. recticornis
ffroy
)
(Geo­
of Palaearctic and Nearctic distribution. All
five species then remaining in Megaloceroea needed to
be examined. What start e d out as a study of New Zeal­
and Stenodemini had to be widened to the Australian
reg·ion and still further to include two species from
the Oriental region.
The resu.l ting paper
A23
generated further papers
by the applicant on Steno demini - paper
A22
on the
male genitalia and tribal placement of the Tasmanian
and Australian Protomiris Poppius, and paper A24 a rev­
ision of the now near c osmopolitan genus Dolichomiris
with a revised key to the genera of Steno dem-
Reuter,
ini.
Jhen the applicant was well into this work, Prof­
essor J.
C.
M.
Carvalho, from Uio de Janeiro, Brazil
visited New Zealand and we worked together for several
weeks,
deciding from that point to work as a team.
In

I
genitalia drawin.:;s of D. bp.­
9a:!."is Reuter and offered inclusion of a revised key
to
13
the genera of Stenodemini, so that 'He could publish it
as a joint author paper.
Another result of his 1Tew Zealand visit was our joi­
nt paper
(presented
by ::'�yles) to t he 14th Internation­
al Congress of Entomology in Canb erra in 1972 in which
we announced that there are "many more species of JV.ir­

During the period 1976 to 1985 the applicant was
involved with other projects, other than entomology.
The joint papers follow on, generated from the New
Zealand Stenodemini wo rk
( paper A23),
describing new
species of Miridae from New Zealand. They are a good
example of two sci e nti st s, who worked together briefly,
co-operating at a distance. Paper A25 describes and
figures nine new species of Deraeocorinae, with key s
to the New Zealand genera and 12 species of Rornna Kir-
1 kaldy.
