Description
Summary:Chaoborus albipes (Johannsen, 1903), stat. rev. Corethra albipes Johannsen 1903: 398 (original description of female holotype), wing plate 39 fig. 11. Richardson 1912: 202 (redescription of larva, especially in comparison to C. plumicornis var. americana (= Chaoborus americanus ), description of male, short comments on pupa and adult female, biology), larval antennae fig. 1, male wing fig. 2.1, female wing fig. 2.2 Sayomyia albipes : Felt 1904: 363 (in part, description of female copied from Johannsen 1903, description of pupa and male). Felt 1905: 497 (verbal description of male hypopygium). Dyar 1905: 16 (key to larvae, confused with C. punctipennis ). Chaoborus (Chaoborus) albipes : Dyar & Shannon 1924: 211 (comparison to Chaoborus crystallina and C. flavicans , distribution in USA). Hennig 1968: 74 (list of Nearctic species, literature of larvae and pupae). Chaoborus albipes : Johannsen 1934: 44 (identification key, diagnoses of larva and pupa, var.a. consists of larvae with 25 or more anal fan setae and somewhat broader labral blades), larva habitus plate 43 fig. 166, pupa habitus fig. 167, labral blades fig. 171. Dickinson 1944: 357 (verbal description of adult and larva, perhaps based on earlier references, occurrence in Wisconsin), labral blade fig. 229. Belkin et al. 1966: 22 (location of holotype, type locality, bionomics, as a syn. of C. flavicans ). Sayomyia rotundifolia Felt 1904: 366 syn. nov. (description of female, male, larva and pupa), female wing plate 13 fig. 2, male wing plate 13 fig. 3, male hypopygium plate 40 fig. 2. Felt 1905: 497 (verbal description of male hypopygium). Dyar 1905: 16 (key to larvae). Chaoborus rotundifolia : Johannsen 1934: 43 (identification key, following the concept by Felt). Chaoborus (Chaoborus) rotundifolia : Hennig 1968: 74 (list of Nearctic species, literature of larvae and pupae). Chaoborus crystallina : Matheson 1925: 159 ( Sayomyia rotundifolia as a new synonym of C. crystallina ). Chaoborus crystallinus : Yamada 1932: 230 (redescription of female), habitus photo of adult female on page 230. Matheson 1944: 95 (identification key), male hypopygium plate 10 fig. 4. Chaoborus (Chaoborus) flavicans : Cook 1956: 23, in part. (redescription of C. (C.) flavicans includes both C. flavicans and C. albipes ), parameres (fig. 16H). Chaoborus flavicans : Strickman 1980: (in vitro copulation and oviposition), egg mass. fig. 1. Likely the species involved here is C. albipes , because material studied was from a “shallow, woodland pond”. Ogawa 2007: (phylogeny), mandible fig. 2.15b, parameres fig. 2.51b. Luoto & Nevalainen 2009: in part. (paleolimnology), mandibles in fig. 2a represent C. albipes . Chaoborus cf. flavicans : Dupuis et al. 2008: (molecular analysis, phylogeny, distribution, ecology, morphology), mandible fig. 2A. An et al. 2010: (molecular phylogeny, partly based on same material as in Dupuis et a. 2008). Taylor et al. 2015: (distribution, ecology). Ballinger et al. 2014: (RNA virus infection, distribution). Ballinger et al. 2017: (RNA virus infection, distribution). Material examined. Type material. Holotype. [“O.A.J. det 1759” “ Corethra albipes Jo. Ithaca N.Y. 1901 HOLOTYPE no 2968 (partly hand written)” “Cornell University Dept. of Entomology”] white label on slide. [“HOLOTYPE Cornell U. No. 2968”] red label on slide (CUI). An additional white label is glued on left upper corner, [Chaoborus flavicans (Meig.) det. E.F. Cook 1951]. The holotype of C. albipes consists of a slide mounted wing only, the rest of the specimen is lost (J.J. Dombroskie, pers.comm.). The holotype was studied from photos. Lectotype of Sayomyia rotundifolia , by present designation (J. Salmela, Fig. 2a,b,d). [“Entomologic division (printed)” “ Sayomyia rotundifolia ³” “Karner N.Y.” “Aug. 5 ‘04” “Genitalia in Bal. (hand written)” “N.Y. state museum (printed)”]; lectotype of S. rotundifolia consists of a slide mounted male abdominal terminalia. Paralectotypes, by present designation. 1 male, [“Entomologic division (printed)” “ Sayomyia rotundifolia ” “Karner N.Y.” “1 July 04” “Wing in Bal. ³ s.no. 14 (hand written)” “N.Y. state museum (printed)”]; a wing on a slide (Fig. 2e). 1 larva, [“Entomologic division (printed)” “ Sayomyia rotundifolia ” “Karner N.Y.” “18 July ‘04” “Larva in Bal. (hand written)” “N.Y. state museum (printed)” (Fig. 2c,f); one slide mounted larva, intact, i.e. mouthparts etc. not detached; most likely belong to C. flavicans , not C. albipes . 1 female, [“Entomologic division (printed)” “ Sayomyia rotundifolia ” “Karner N.Y.” “Aug. 2 04” “Wing in Bal. ♀ (hand written)” “S.no.14 (handwritten)” “N.Y. state museum (printed)”]; one slide-mounted female wing (Fig. 2g). According to the original description Felt studied only one male specimen, but different dates on the labels indicate that lectotype male and paralectotype male are different specimens.
