First record of the family Caliscelidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) from Madagascar, with description of new taxa from the Afrotropical Region and biogeographical notes

摘要

The family Caliscelidae is revised and listed in the Afrotropical Region and is recorded from Madagascar for the first time. Signoreta victorina gen. et sp. n., Calampocus sphaeroides gen. et sp. n., Patamadaga pauliani gen. et sp. n., Sphenax cuneusgen. et sp. n., Afronaso gryphus sp. n. and A. malagasicus sp. n. are described from Madagascar. Rhinoploeus iwa gen. et sp. n. is described from Zambia and Caliscelis swazi sp. n. from Republic of South Africa and Swaziland. Nubianus gen. n. is erectedfor Issopulex nasutus Linnavuori, 1973. Issopulex chloe Linnavuori, 1973 is transfered to the genus Savanopulex Dlabola and Caliscelis eximia Stal, 1859 to the genus Chirodisca Emeljanov. Afronaso rhinarius cuneiceps Fennah, 1957 is upgraded to species level. Populonia curculioforma Dlabola, 1987 is placed in synonymy under A. rhinarius cuneiceps, Populonia hammersteini Schmidt, 1932 under Homaloplasis curvata Melichar, 1908, Ugandana fennahi Dlabola, 1987 under Afronaso bayoni Schmidt, 1911, and Caliscelis dreyfus Fernando, 1957 under Caliscelis eximia Stal, 1859. New faunistic records are proposed. The possible Gondwanan origin and monophyly of the Caliscelidae are briefly discussed.
