Taxonomic and synonymic world catalogue of the Charipinae and notes about this subfamily (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae)
2012
The Charipinae (Cynipoidea: Figitidae) are a small group of Hymenoptera biologically characterized as being secondary parasitoids of aphids and psyllids (Hemiptera) (Menke & Evenhuis, 1991). A total of 281 species of Charipinae have been described since the first species was described by Westwood (1833) (including two fossils, one of them recently transferred in a new family, Protimaspidae). An updated world catalogue of the Charipinae is presented here, with 168 valid species: 111 included in Alloxysta Förster, 31 in Phaenoglyphis Förster, 13 in Dilyta Förster, 5 in Apocharips Fergusson, 4 in Thoreauana Girault, and 1 in Dilapothor Paretas-Martínez & Pujade-Villar, Lobopterocharip…

Worldwide revision of the genus Phaenoglyphis (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae, Charipinae)
2019
A complete revision of the world species of the genus Phaenoglyphis Förster, 1869 has been conducted. A total of 25 species of Phaenoglyphis are valid after studying their type material. Two new species are described: Phaenoglyphis belizini sp. n. and Phaenoglyphis palmirae sp. n. Two species are synonymized: P. dolichocera (Cameron, 1889) with P. nigripes (Thomson, 1877) and P. pecki Andrews, 1978 with P. villosa (Hartig, 1841). Phaenoglyphis bangalorensis Kurian, 1953 was considered as incertae sedis. Phaenoglyphis duplocarpentieri (Kieffer, 1904) and P. hedickei Hedicke, 1928 are considered lost. Other three species are discarded as valid species because they are missing important parts …
Review of the Chilean Anthicidae Sensu Lato (Insecta: Coleoptera), with Critical Notes on the Lemodinae and Tomoderinae, New Descriptions and Synonyms
2021
An account of the Anthicidae (ant-like flower beetles) and associated incertae sedis groups of Chile is presented. Forty seven species and subspecies are confirmed for the country (Anthicinae, Copobaeninae, Eurygeniinae, Lagrioidinae, Lemodinae, Tomoderinae), including 11 new to science: Ischyropalpus aberratus, I. quadrimaculatus, I. similis, Sapintus costae, Tomoderus cavithorax, T. differens, T. melanocephalus, T. nahuelbuta, Trichananca inexpectata, T. neotropica, T. poggiispp. nov.ProtoanthicusMoore et Vidal, 2005 is found to be congeneric with Trichananca Blackburn, 1891, a new synonym and three new combinations are proposed: Trichananca marziae (Moore et Vidal, 2005) comb. nov., T. p…
Osteology and relationships ofEolacerta robusta, a lizard from the Middle Eocene of Germany (Reptilia, Squamata)
2001
The osteology of the Eocene lizard Eolacerta robusta from Messel and Geiseltal is redescribed. Contrary to former opinions, Eolacerta does not possess body osteoderms, the pubis is typically lizard-like, the astragalus and calcaneum are fused, and the first cervical rib is distinctly curved posterolaterally. The suggestion that Eolacerta belongs to the modern family Lacertidae cannot be corroborated due to its many plesiomorphies and character incongruences, a view which is also supported by phylogenetic analysis. At present, Eolacerta cannot be assigned to any modern lizard family and is classified as Scleroglossa incertae sedis.
A reassessment of the sections of the genus Cytisus Desf. (Cytiseae, Leguminosae)
2006
Recent morphological and molecular research on Cytisus and allied genera has produced a great deal of new data relevant to systematics, which have not yet been incorporated into a consistent classification system of the genus. We have compared and evaluated recently published cladograms and phenograms based on morphological and molecular (nuclear and plastid DNA) characters. The genus Cytisus sensu lato, including Calicotome, Chamaecytisus, Chronanthus, and Lembotropis, appears to be monophyletic. A subdivision of the genus Cytisus in 13 sections is presented; one species, C. tribracteolatus, remains incertae sedis. A new section (C. sect. Dendrocytisus) and two new combinations for taxa in…
