Abstract. The relationships of the families Colydidae, Monommatidae and Zopheridae are
examined. Phylogenetic analyses were carried out using Hennig86 and based on 37 exemplar genera from each of these families and several possible outgroups coded for 59 morphological features (42 adult and 17 larval). Results of the analyses suggest that the three families form a
monophilethic group, which may be divided into two subfamilies, Colydiinae and Zopherinae, and
that the latter may be further divided into six tribes: Latometini (trib. nov.), Usechini,
Monommatini, Phellopsini (trib. nov.), Pycnomerini (sens. nov.) and Zopherini (sens. nov.). The
genera comprising the Zopherinae (excluding Monommatini) are keyed aout and redescribed, and
general remarks are made on the biology of the family. Three new genera are described:
Orthocerodes gen. nov. (type species: Sarrotrium australis Blackburn, 1891), Australia;
Notorhocerus gen. nov. (type species N. valdivianus sp. nov.), Chile and Zopher (type species:
Z. iviei sp. nov.), Malaysia. Type species are designated for the genera Docalis Pascoe, 1860 (D.
degener Pascoe, 1860) and Elascus (E. crassicornis Pascoe, 1860). Pycnomorphus Matschulski,
1858, and Dechomus Jacquelin du Val, 1859, are synonymized with Pycnomerus Erichson, 1842
(syn. nov.). Cotulades brindabellae sp. nov. is described, as is its larva. The following are also
proposed: Cotulades okei nom. nov. (=C. pilosus Oke, 1932, not Docalis pilosus Carter, 1928)
and C. pilosus (Carter in Wilson, 1928) (Docalis) comb. nov.

Abstract. The larval characters and natural history data of five species of Thermophilum
Hope, Pachymorpha sexguttata Fabricius, two species of Cypholoba Chaudoir and
Eccoptoptera sp are described and analysed phylogenetically. All taxa share the following peculiar larval apomorphies: a row of setae instead of two ground plan setae FR8,9 on adnasale, a
membranous bulge between nasale and maxilla, antennomeres II+III fused, lacinia enlarged and
fused with stipes, posterior claws reduced. Three different groups based on their natural history
data are found. One group with a large number of eggs from which hatch comparatively small larvae. A second group with a medium number of eggs which are fixed on the ceiling of the substrate
holes. Both groups pass three active larval instars as in most other carabids. A third group with
few, large eggs, a short first instar period, an unsclerotized second instar larva which is inactive,
does not feed but pupates.
The phylogenetic analysis confirms the sistergroup relationship of Helluonini and Anthiini,
and the monophyly of Anthiini. Genus Eccoptoptera Chaudoir is the sistergroup of the large sized
Anthiini including genus Cypholoba. The Cypholobini are non-monophyletic. T. sexmaculatum
Fabricius is distinguished in several characters from the rest of Thermophilum species and
should be excluded from this genus. The maintenance of a monophyletic genus complex Anthia
s.l. Weber implies the convergent development of peculiar natural history characters in
Cypholoba and T. sexmaculatum. Pachymorpha sexguttata and parts of the genus
Thermophilum form a well supported monophyletic group. Therefore, Pachymorpha Hope cannot be separated generically.

(non-territorial opportunistic form) and Formica aquilonia Yarr. (territorial form), is described.
F. fusca was nesting on the edge of the latters mound, after the F. aquilonia colony had experimentally been transferred to the site. We discuss the possible significance of our finding to the
evolution of social parasitism in ants.

PHYLOGENY AND CLASSIFICATION OF CANTACADERINI
[=CANTACADERIDAE STAT. NOV.] (HEMIPTERA: TINGOIDEA)
BARBARA LIS
Department of Zoology, University of Opole, Oleska 22, 45-052 Opole, Poland
Abstract. The tribe Cantacaderini (sensu Froeschner 1996) was studied morphologically and
phylogenetically, and its systematic position within Tingidae s. lato was estimated. The cladistic
analysis at the tribal level within Tingidae s. lato has shown the subfamily Cantacaderinae is a
polyphyletic taxon; moreover, it identified the tribe Phatnomatini (sensu Froeschner 1996) as a
sister group of the subfamily Tinginae, while the tribe Cantacaderini (sensu Froeschner 1996) as
an evolutionary lineage is quite separate from Phatnomatini (both have hitherto been united within Cantacaderinae). A new classification of the superfamily Tingoidea is proposed, that includes
its division into three families, i.e. the Cantacaderidae (new family status), the Tingidae with two
subfamilies, Phatnomatinae (new subfamily status) and Tinginae, and the Vianaididae.
On the basis of the cladistic analysis at the generic level, the Cantacaderidae is divided into
two subfamilies, i.e. Cantacaderinae Stål (sensu novo) and Carldrakeaninae subfam. nov.; moreover, the former was proved to consist of two tribes, namely Cantacaderini s. str. and
Ceratocaderini trib. nov. The ancestral area for the whole family was estimated, and its historical biogeography was also discussed.
Furthermore, diagnostic characters for the family, subfamilies, tribes and all the genera, with
a list of their species (including data on type material and distribution) are presented. Lectotypes
are designated for Piesma tingidoides Spinola, 1852, Cantacader attenuatus Distant, 1902,
Cantacader lethierryi Scott, 1874, and Cantacader uniformis Distant, 1902.

characters of adult Histeridae a new hypothesis of phylogeny of the family is presented. In the
concordance with the proposed phylogeny, the family is divided into three groups:
Niponiomorphae (incl. Niponiinae), Abraeomorphae and Histeromorphae. The Abraeomorphae
includes: Abraeinae, Saprininae, Dendrophilinae and Trypanaeinae. The Histeromorphae is

Abstract. The present paper represents the first attempt to revise all taxa that compose the
family Agriolimacidae. It includes an extensive introduction characterizing the whole family with
respect to anatomy, ecology, bionomics and distribution as well as instructions how to collect, dissect and preserve slug material. Each taxon from the rank of family to subspecies is provided with
taxonomical data, a morphological description as well as information on bionomics, distribution,
phylogeny and affinity; original keys are included. The index comprises 123 taxa of species rank
and over 110 names regarded as synonyms. One species, namely Deroceras (Deroceras) bistimulatum, is described as new for science. The paper has been based on over 40-year-long field
research of the author and his studies of both various museum material and own slug collection
(the world.s largest collection of Agriolimacidae deposited at the Museum of Natural History,
Wroc³aw University) which has been built during that period. The text has been illustrated with
830 drawings, most of which made by the author himself, depicting both the external appearance
and anatomical characters of particular species.
