  • Case 3792 – Pachnaeus Schoenherr, 1826 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Curculionidae): proposed precedence over Docorhinus Schoenherr, 1823
    The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 2019
    Co-Authors: Brian H. Reily, Nico M Franz
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to conserve use of the generic name PachnaeusSchoenherr, 1826 (Curculionidae, Entiminae, Eustylini). The name Pachnaeus is threatened by its senior objective synonym, DocorhinusSchoenherr, 1823, for which it was erroneously erected as a replacement name. Strict application of the Code would result in unnecessary confusion since the name Pachnaeus has been heavily used in the agricultural and taxonomic literature for the last 193 years, whereas its senior objective synonym Docorhinus has been treated as valid only once since it was (erroneously) replaced by Pachnaeus. Several members of Pachnaeus, for example Pachnaeus opalus (Olivier, 1807) (“northern citrus root weevil”, for which a lectotype is designated herein), Pachnaeus litus (Germar, 1824) (“southern citrus root weevil”), and Pachnaeus citriMarshall, 1916, are well documented and serious pests of citrus. Reverting the genus name to its senior synonym would lead to nomenclatural instability and confusion in the literature and, because of the singular treatment of Docorhinus as valid. Prevailing usage (Arts. 23.9.1 and 23.9.2) cannot be invoked to resolve this discrepancy. We therefore request a reversal of precedence under the Commission's plenary power, with Docorhinus, the senior objective synonym, being suppressed.

  • phylogenetic reassessment of the exophthalmus genus complex curculionidae entiminae eustylini geonemini
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012
    Co-Authors: Nico M Franz
    Abstract:

    The monophyly of the Neotropical entimine weevil genus Exophthalmus Schoenherr, 1823 (Curculionidae: Entiminae: Eustylini Lacordaire) is reassessed. Exophthalmus presently includes more than 80 species, approximately half of which are restricted to either the Caribbean archipelago or the continental Neotropics. The taxonomic composition and position of Exophthalmus have been subject to longstanding disagreements; in particular, authors have questioned the relationship of Exophthalmus to other Caribbean genera such as Diaprepes Schoenherr, 1834 (Eustylini) and Lachnopus Schoenherr, 1840 (Geonemini Gistel), as well as to the speciose Central and South American genera Compsus Schoenherr, 1823, Eustylus Schoenherr, 1842, and Exorides Pascoe, 1881 (all Eustylini), among others. The present study scrutinizes these traditional perspectives, based on a cladistic analysis of 143 adult morphological characters and 90 species, representing 30 genera and seven tribes of Neotropical entimine weevils. The character matrix yielded eight most-parsimonious cladograms (length = 239 steps; consistency index = 66; retention index = 91), with mixed clade support that remains particularly wanting for some of the deeper in-group divergences. The strict consensus supports the existence of a paraphyletic Geonemini ‘grade’ that includes Lachnopus and related Caribbean genera such as Apotomoderes Dejean, 1834, followed by a monophyletic Eustylini in-group clade. Within the latter, a monophyletic South American Eustylini clade – including Compsus, Eustylus, Exorides, and related genera – is sister to a major clade that contains a ‘grade’ of heterogeneous and often misclassified Caribbean members of the Eustylini, Geonemini (Tetrabothynus Labram & Imhoff, 1852 and Tropirhinus Schoenherr, 1823), and Tanymecini Lacordaire (Pachnaeus Schoenherr, 1826), as well as two major clades: one with the majority of Central American Exophthalmus species, and the other with most Caribbean members of Exophthalmus. The Central American Exophthalmus clade is paraphyletic with respect to Chauliopleurus Champion, 1911 (Geonemini) and Rhinospathe Chevrolat, 1878 (Phyllobiini Schoenherr). The Caribbean clade, in turn, contains two subclades: i.e. (1) the Greater Antillean Exophthalmus s.s. clade, including the type species Exophthalmus quadrivittatus (Olivier, 1807); and (2) the primarily Lesser Antillean Diaprepes. The latter genus is therefore nested within Central American and Caribbean species of a highly paraphyletic Exophthalmus, yet may be rendered monophyletic if several Lesser Antillean Exophthalmus species are (re-)assigned to Diaprepes. The results thus provide a suitable basis for a revision of all Exophthalmus species, and furthermore suggest that historical biographic factors, including colonization via temporary continental Neotropics-to-Caribbean land connections, were important in the evolution of major eustyline lineages. Based on these preliminary insights, the following taxonomic and nomenclatural adjustments are made. Compsoricus gen. nov. is erected to accommodate two Puerto Rican species erroneously assigned to Compsus: i.e. the herein designated type species Compsoricus maricao comb. nov. and Compsoricus luquillo comb. nov. Eustylus dentipes comb. nov. is transferred from Compsus. Diaprepes marginicollis Chevrolat, 1880 is reinstated from synonymy under Exophthalmus. Lastly, the following five transfers are proposed: (1) Chauliopleurus Champion, 1911, from Geonemini to Eustylini; (2) Tetrabothynus Labram & Imhoff, 1852, from Geonemini to Eustylini; (3) Tropirhinus Schoenherr, 1823, from Geonemini to Eustylini; (4) Rhinospathe Chevrolat, 1878, from Phyllobiini to Eustylini; and (5) Pachnaeus Schoenherr, 1826, from Tanymecini to Eustylini. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2012, 164, 510–557.

  • The Problematic Genus Sclerocardius (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Molytinae: Ithyporini)
    Diversity, 2018
    Co-Authors: Christopher H.c. Lyal
    Abstract:

    The genus Sclerocardius is revised, using morphological characters. Four species are recognized, including S. africanus (Boheman), S. bohemani Schoenherr stat.rev., S. indicus Hartmann and S. kuscheli sp.nov. The species Sclerocardius madecassus Ferragu is synonymized with S. bohemani syn.nov., and Charactocnemus hintzi Hartmann is treated as a junior synonym of S. bohemani, not S. africanus. A key to species is given. Lectotypes are designated for Heteramphus africanus Boheman and Sclerocardius africanus Schoenherr. A female elytro-tergal stridulatory system involving the modification of the wing-binding patch of the seventh tergite is reported for the Sclerocardiina for the first time and supports the inclusion of the subtribe within the Ithyporini.

    Zootaxa, 2006
    Co-Authors: Christopher H.c. Lyal, M. A. Alonso-zarazaga
    Abstract:

    Omissions from and corrections to Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (1999) and Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (2002) are given. The following valid taxon described before 2000 was absent and is now included: Oedeuops Zhang, 1989 (fossil) in Attelabidae. A new replacement name is proposed in Brachyceridae: Brotheusini Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal, nom. nov., for Brotheini Marshall, 1907, non Simon, 1879 (Scorpiones). New synonymies are: Mecocerini Lacordaire 1866 (= Cappadocini Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999, syn. nov.) and Phloeophilus Schoenherr, 1833 (= Cappadox Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999, syn. nov. = Platynorhynchus Schoenherr, 1839, syn. nov.) in Anthribidae; Cnemoxys Marshall, 1956 (= Lavabrenymus Hoffmann, 1966, syn. nov.) in Curculionidae Conoderinae. Omitted synonymies are: Otiorhynchus (Thalycrynchus) Reitter, 1912 (= Panaphilis Dejean, 1821) (removed from synonymy with Otiorhynchus s. str) and Brachysomus Schoenherr, 1823 (= Pseudoptochus Formánek, 1905) in Curculionidae Entiminae. A new combination is: Cnemoxys armatus (Hoffmann, 1966) comb. nov. from Lavabrenymus Hoffmann, 1966. New placements are: Alloschema Jordan, 1928 to Zygaenodini (from Cappadocini) (Anthribidae).

  • Taxonomic revision of the genus Stenocyphus Marshall (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from Brazil.
    ZooKeys, 2013
    Co-Authors: Maria Guadalupe Del Rio, Analía A. Lanteri
    Abstract:

    Stenocyphus Marshall, 1922 (Entiminae, Naupactini) includes three species: the type species S. bituberosus (Gyllenhal, 1833), S. tuberculatus (Hustache, 1938), comb. n. herein transferred from Neoericydeus Hustache, 1938, and S. sextuberosus sp. n. The genus is endemic to the Atlantic forests of the states of Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, Brazil andis mainly characterized by the presence of humped elytra bearing large conical tubercles on the intervals 5, or 3 and 5, or 3, 5 and 7. It shares some external morphological characters with Hadropus Schoenherr, 1826 and the Brazilian species of Cyrtomon Schoenherr 1823, but its phylogenetic position is uncertain. Herein we provide a diagnostic key to separate Stenocyphus from those genera, generic and species redescriptions or descriptions, a key to species, habitus photographs, line drawings of genitalia, and a discussion of the patterns of elytral tubercles in unrelated genera of Neotropical broad-nosed weevils.

  • Obrieniolus, a new monotypic genus of Naupactini (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae) from the Peruvian Andes and its phylogenetic placement.
    ZooKeys, 2011
    Co-Authors: Maria Guadalupe Del Rio, Analía A. Lanteri
    Abstract:

    A new monotypic genus of Naupactini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Obrieniolus del Rio is described based on the new species Obrieniolus robustus del Rio, endemic to Peru. This genus is easily recognized by the black, denuded and shiny integument, with imbricate microsculpture and the rounded body, with short, cordiform and moderately convex elytra. According to a cladistic analysis based on 69 continuous and discrete morphological characters, the new genus is the sister taxon of a group formed by Amitrus Schoenherr, Trichocyphus Heller, Amphideritus Schoenherr, Asymmathetes Wibmer & O'Brien and Galapaganus Lanteri. The paper includes habitus photographs, line drawings of genitalia, mouthparts, and other external features of taxonomic value, and a dichotomous key to the genera of Naupactini distributed in the South American Transition Zone.

  • Phylogeny of the Pantomorus–Naupactus complex based on morphological and molecular data (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
    Cladistics, 2005
    Co-Authors: María Amalia Scataglini, Analía A. Lanteri, Viviana A. Confalonieri
    Abstract:

    The Pantomorus–Naupactus complex is a Neotropical group of broad-nosed weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) including several parthenogenetic species usually assigned to the genera Naupactus Dejean, Pantomorus Schoenherr, Asynonychus Crotch, Aramigus Horn, Eurymetopus Schoenherr and Graphognathus Buchanan. Sixteen species were studied to test hypotheses on the monophyly of these genera, and on the origin of the parthenogenetic lineages. A matrix of 30 morphological characters and 999 positions of the Cytochrome Oxidase I gene, was analyzed with separate partitions and simultaneously, under equal and implied weights, and with different transversion/transitions costs. The ILD test indicates that the incongruence between the molecular and morphological data is not significant. Under equal weights, the molecular data resulted in a single tree and morphology in 34 trees; under implied weights morphology gave a different tree, and under TV:TS ≥ 4:1 molecular and combined analyses resulted in the same optimal tree. According to the latter, Naupactus includes Graphognathus, and is thus paraphyletic and basal regarding remaining genera, Pantomorus is polyphyletic and includes Aramigus and Asynonychus, and Eurymetopus is monophyletic. The species in which apomictic parthenogenesis has been verified (Aramigus tessellatus, Asynonychus cervinus and Graphognathus lecuoloma), belong to different clades of the Pantomorus-Naupactus complex, with basal sexual relatives. © The Willi Hennig Society 2005.

  • Weevils Injurious for Roots of Citrus in São Paulo State, Brazil
    Neotropical Entomology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Analía A. Lanteri, Jerson Vanderlei Carús Guedes, José Roberto Postali Parra
    Abstract:

    Ten species of broad nosed weevils belonging to Entiminae, Naupactini, are recorded as harmful for roots of citrus in Sao Paulo state, Brazil. Most species belong to Naupactus Dejean, N. rivulosus (Olivier), N. tarsalis Boheman, N. curtus Boheman, N. navicularis Boheman, N. versatilis Hustache, N. ambiguus Boheman, and N. cervinus Boheman; one species was assigned to Teratopactus Heller, T. nodicollis (Boheman); one to Parapantomorus, P. fluctuosus Schoenherr (Boheman) and one to Symmathetes Schoenherr (a genus herein reinstated), S. kollari Schoenherr. Larvae live in soil and bore on roots of the trees, causing more damages than adults, that feed on leaves. The main goal of this paper is to provide a key, diagnosis and habitus photographs of the species, in order to facilitate their identification. We also provide information on their geographic range in Brazil and previous plant associations, and we discuss some relevant biological features, especially those related to oviposition habits.

    Abstract:

    This paper assesses the projecti ~ of clergy decline made b'y ~ and Young in Full pews and empty altars (1993) in light of current population figures collected by the Official Catholic Direcun'y for 1995 (Kenedy 1996). h finds that the "moderate " Schoenherr-Young projections slighdy underestimate the number of Catholic priests by less than I pe.rcent. Taking this as validation of the demographic models u.sed in th projections, this paper extends projections of the priest popula. tion to 2015. These projections predict that by the year 2015, the priest population wiUhave declined by roughly 45 percent from its 1966 levels. The paper also assesses predictions at the diocesan level utilizing the newly constructed Standardized Projection Error measure. This analysis demonstrates that the Schoenherr-Young projection models ate also accurate in the large majoriry of individual Since 1988, Richard A. Schoenherr and I had published a series of journal articles, book chapters, and research reports which focus on applying the tools of social demography to the study of clergy decline in the United States Catholic Church. Our research program is best summarized in the book, Full pews and empry altars (Schoenherr and Young 1993a). Our empirical focus was on the individual organization as a population of it

  • Assessing and Updating the Schoenherr-Young Projections of Clergy Decline in the United States Roman Catholic Church
    Sociology of Religion, 1998
    Co-Authors: Lawrence A. Young
    Abstract:

    This paper assesses the projections of clergy decline made by Schoenherr and Young in Full pews and empty altars (1993) in light of current population figures collected by the official Catholic Directory for 1995 (Kenedy 1996). It finds that the moderate Schoenherr-Young projections slightly underestimate the number of Catholic priests by less than 1 percent. Taking this as validation of the demographic models used in the projections, this paper extends projections of the priest population to 2015. These projections predict that by the year 2015, the priest population will have declined by roughly 45 percent from its 1966 levels. The paper also assesses predictions at the diocesan level utilizing the newly constructed Standardized Projection Error measure. This analysis demonstrates that the Schoenherr-Young projection models are also accurate in the large majority of individual dioceses.

    Abstract:

    Hoge et al. (1988) analyze the changing age distribution and theological attitudes of Catholic priests. They conclude that Schoenherr and Sorensen (1982) overestimated the number of older priests in 1985 and incorrectly projected a shift toward conservative attitudes between 1970 and 1985. Based upon newly available data, we conclude that Schoenherr and Sorensen did not overestimate the number of older priests. We also argue that Hoge et al. did not use the appropriate analysis to test whether shifts in theological attitudes were due to a cohort effect or an aging effect. We reanalyze Hoge's data and conclude that the source of the error in the original Schoenherr-Sorensen projections of theological attitudes is more complex than specified by Hoge et al. Specifically, while Hoge et al. correctly identify a cohort effect that helps explain the inaccuracy of the original Schoenherr-Sorensen projections, Hoge et al. incorrectly reject the influence of an aging effect. Based upon the simultaneous operation of the cohort and aging effects, as well as the growing conservatism of younger priests, we conclude that an increasingly conservative clergy is to be expected.
