Taxonomy and diversity of Afroalpine Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) on Mount Kenya and the Rwenzori Mountains, East Africa.

Aim Anthropogenic local weather change is predicted to end in the full loss of glaciers from the excessive mountains of tropical Africa, with profound impacts on the hydrology and ecology of distinctive tropical cold-water lakes positioned downstream from them.

This research examines the biodiversity of Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) communities in these scarce Afroalpine lake methods, to be able to decide their uniqueness in relation to lowland African lakes and alpine lakes in temperate areas, and to judge the potential of Afroalpine Chironomidae as organic indicators to observe future modifications in the ecological integrity of their habitat.

Location Mount Kenya (Kenya) and Rwenzori Mountains (Uganda). Methods The species composition of Afroalpine chironomid communities was assessed utilizing latest larval loss of life assemblages extracted from the floor sediments of 11 high-mountain lakes between 2900 and 4575 m. Results have been in contrast with comparable faunal information from 68 East African lakes at low and center elevation (750-2760 m), and with literature information of Chironomidae species distribution in sub-Saharan Africa, the Palaearctic area and elsewhere. All recovered taxa have been absolutely described and illustrated.

Results The 11-lake evaluation yielded 1744 subfossil chironomid larvae belonging to 16 distinct taxa of full-grown larvae, and three taxa of much less differentiated juveniles. Eleven of these 16 are usually not recognized to happen in African lakes at decrease elevation, and eight taxa (or 50% of complete species richness) seem restricted to the particular habitat of chilly lakes above 3900 m, the place night-time freezing is frequent year-round. The faunal transition zone coincides broadly with the Ericaceous zone of terrestrial vegetation (c. 3000-4000 m). Snowline melancholy throughout the Quaternary ice ages should have facilitated dispersion of cold-stenothermous species amongst the excessive mountains of equatorial East Africa, however much less so from or to the Palaearctic area through the Ethiopian highlands.

Main conclusions Chironomid communities in glacier-fed lakes on Africa’s highest mountains are extremely distinct from these of lowland African lakes, and probably distinctive on a continental scale. By advantage of wonderful preservation and their spatial and temporal integration of local people dynamics, chironomid larval loss of life assemblages extracted from floor sediments are highly effective organic indicators for monitoring the hydrological and ecological modifications related to the present retreat and loss of Africa’s glaciers.

Revision of the genus Deltaspis Audinet-Serville, 1834 with systematic evaluation and new taxa of Trachyderini with emarginate-truncate mandibles (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).

The genera Deltaspis Audinet-Serville, 1834 and Muscidora, Thomson, 1864 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Trachyderini) are revised.

Two new genera Neoxoplus gen. nov. and Deltaspiopsis gen. nov., are described. Two species beforehand included in Deltaspis [D. cruentus, (LeConte, 1862), and D. ivae Beierl Barchet-Beierl, 1999] are transferred to the new genus Neoxoplus with N. cruentus designated as the sort species. Four different Deltaspis species [D. alutacea Bates, 1885, D. marginella Bates, 1891, D. nigripennis Bates, 1880, and D. tumacacorii (Knull, 1944)] are transferred to Muscidora Thomson, 1864.
