Emmended diagnosis. Species characterised by its small size (Fig. 1 E–G), head dorsal coloration with a faint median dark band on vertex, and male genitalia with very long and thin pseudepiphallic lophi (Fig. 8G); in male FWs (Fig. 5E), mirror wider than long, less rounded than in X. maichauensis, X. ululiu and X. transversus. Redescription. Species of small to average size, the smallest for the genus (Fig. 1 E–G). Coloration almost homogeneously light ochre. Median dark band on head dorsum faint on vertex (Fig. 4E), prolonged anteriorly by black fastigium, with three narrow lateral bands on each side. Fastigium straight, not widened anteriorly. Antennae light brown, first segment darker. Face relatively flat in lateral view (Fig. 3J). Pronotum dorsal disc light brown, with a median brown band variably marked prolonging head coloration; lateral margins not carinated, with a narrow yellow line; lateral lobes ochre, progressively lighter ventrally. Male. FWs light brown, translucent (Fig. 5E); dark coloration anterior to 1A sometimes extended on angle of 1A. Transverse part of file almost straight, with 435 stridulatory teeth (n=1) on transverse part of 1A. Harp as wide as long. Fused part of cells c1 and b1 as long as individualised part of c1. Cell d2 wider than in other species. Mirror wider than long, little rounded, its inner limit forming a wide angle. Apical field short, including five cell alignments. Male genitalia (Fig. 7 H–I): Pseudepiphallic sclerite longer than rami; pseudepiphallic lophi very long (Fig. 8G), narrow and sclerotized, slightly convergent, ended by an apical lamella curved dorsally and forming a small notch.

Ectophallic apodemes strong, not lamellate. Ectophallic lateral arms strong, fused to lateral arms of ectophallic fold, and with lateral arms of endophallic sclerite, forming together a wide gutter. Ectophallic fold entirely sclerotized ventrally. Endophallic sclerite small, apodeme made of a thin anterior dorsal crest and narrow lateral lamellas. Female. FWs dorsal field with 8–9 strong longitudinal veins (m = 8, n = 10) and faint transverse ones. Subgenital plate not indented apically (Fig. 9B). Ovipositor longer than FIII, its apex rounded and smooth. Female genitalia: Copulatory papilla (Fig. 11 C–D) thin and conical, widened basally; sclerotization strong basally and apically, its membrane plicate. Life history traits. X. marmoratus lives on low vegetation in bushes and grass in secondary habitats and along roads. The species has a nocturnal activity; males call at night from the vegetation. See Olivero & Robillard (2017) for description of peculiar mating behaviours. Calling song (Figs 12B, 14). At 26.5°C, the calling song of X. marmoratus is made of relatively long syllables, each corresponding to one FW closure. Syllables form a two-part echeme: 1–3 singleton syllables (m = 2, n = 10), followed by a chirp made of three syllables, sometimes duplicated. The amplitude profile of the call shows that the singletons are usually less loud than the chirp. Total echeme duration is 711 ± 33 ms, for an echeme period of 6776 ± 368 ms (echeme duty cycle = 10.5%). The syllables have the following characteristics: 1 st syllable duration = 51.8 ± 1.5 ms (period = 318.3 ± 35.6 ms); 2 nd syllable duration = 50.3 ± 1 ms; chirp duration = 183.8 ± 1 ms; chirp syllable duration = 49.5 ± 1.9 ms (period = 68 ± 0.8 ms). The frequency spectrum shows a pure tone fundamental peak corresponding to the dominant frequency at ca. 5.9 ± 0.2 kHz, with a clear harmonic series, the third harmonic (ca. 18 kHz) being almost as powerful as the fundamental peak. Measurements. See Table 6. Taxonomic discussion. The types of De Haan, supposed to be in Leiden, were not found in RMNH in 2006 (TR, pers. obs.), with no record mentioning them as loaned (Rob De Vries, curator of the Orthopteran collection in RMNH, pers. com. 2006; confirmation by Luc Willemse, current curator of the Orthopteran collection in RMNH, pers. com. 2018). Specimens possibly belonging to the original type series were also searched for in other European museums, but could not be found. We thus designate a neotype from Japan that will serve as a reference for future systematic works. Gorochov (1992) distinguished two subspecies, X. m. marmoratus (Haan, 1844) and X. m. unipartitus (Karny, 1915). In his study, he considered Gryllus (Phalangopsis) marmoratus Haan, 1844 (type from Japan), as the nominal subspecies Xenogryllus marmoratus marmoratus, while he established the subspecies X. m. unipartitus based on the species Heterotrypus unipartitus Karny, 1915, which was described from one female from Taiwan (Takao, examined on photo). The type of H. unipartitus clearly corresponds to a female of Xenogryllus, however, given the continuous variation observed across the wide distribution of X. marmoratus, and the limited information available based on female morphology, there is no reason to maintain these two subspecies. We thus synonymise the subspecies under X. marmoratus, and H. unipartitus becomes a junior synonym of X. marmoratus, as previously proposed by Chopard (1968)., Published as part of Jaiswara, Ranjana, Dong, Jiajia, Ma, Libin, Yin, Haisheng & Robillard, Tony, 2019, Taxonomic revision of the genus Xenogryllus Bolívar, 1890 (Orthoptera, Gryllidae, Eneopterinae, Xenogryllini), pp. 301-338 in Zootaxa 4545 (3) on pages 324-328, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4545.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/2618876, {"references":["Haan, D.

Species of large size, similar in size, venation and coloration to X. maichauensis, from which it differs by male genitalia, with long sclerotized pseudepiphallic lophi ended by a sharp apex with a dorsal preapical pointed expansion (Fig. 8I); from X. ululiu, X. transversus differs by its larger size and by larger pseudepiphallic sclerite in male genitalia, with lophi proportionally smaller, separated by a deep indentation (lophi basally fused in X. ululiu). Redescription. In addition to the characters of the genus, X. transversus has a large size and a golden coloration (Fig. 2 E–H). Fastigium 1.5 times wider than scape, slightly widened apically as in X. ululiu and X. maichauensis. Eyes rather small, located on face, restricted to the dorsal third of head in lateral view (Fig. 3 O–P). Lateral angle of dorsal disc of pronotum not carinated, as in X. maichauensis and X. ululiu, with a thin yellow band underlined by a black line anteriorly. Hind wings tail gray brown, nearly as long as pronotum. Male. Pronotum dorsal disc forming a wide trapezoid, with a wide median black longitudinal band pronlonging vertex coloration; posterior margin slightly bisinuate. FW venation (Fig. 5G): 1A forming a 90° angle, with 265 stridulatory teeth (n=1) on transverse part of 1A. Dark coloration anterior to 1A including angle of file. Harp wide. Mirror large, well-rounded, its inner limit forming a wide curve. Apical field forming a triangle longer than wide, with six cell alignments. Male genitalia (Fig. 7 O–P): Pseudepiphallic sclerite elongate, with a wide basis; lophi separated by a large indentation (Fig. 8I), similar to that of X. ululiu, with a sharp apex and a strong dorsal preapical expansion. Rami strong, convergent apically. Ectophallic apodemes strong, lamellate apically. Ectophallic fold and endophallic sclerite almost fused, forming a long ventral gutter, wider than in X. ululiu, trifurcate posteriorly. Endophallic apodemes made of lateral lamellas. Female (Fig. 2 G–H). Head slightly wider than pronotum. Dorsal disc of pronotum almost rectangular, its posterior margin slightly bisinuate. FWs slightly longer than abdomen, light brown, with anterior dark spot very small; dorsal field with 10–11 (n=3) strong longitudinal veins. Subgenital plate with a deep V-shaped apical indentation with sharp edges (Fig. 9G). Ovipositor as long as FIII. Female genitalia: Copulatory papilla conical (Fig. 11 M–O), wider than in X. maichauensis, its apex rounded and sclerotized. Life history traits. X. transversus lives in open secondary habitats, where males usually call in chorus from 120–180 cm height dense shrubs. In IISER Mohali (Northern India), two males were seen calling from a bamboo plantation on one occasion, from a height of 60 cm, where one male was probably trying to mount the other (RJ personal obs.). In Jammu (Northern India), males were found calling from cannabis plant. Calling activity starts late in the evening, almost around 22:00 hrs and continues until 03:00 hrs in the morning. Spacing between calling males of this species is quite variable, the closest males being spaced by approximately one meter horizontally. Calling song. (Figs 12D, 17) The calling songs of three males were recorded from IISER Mohali campus. At 25–27 °C, the calling song of X. transversus is made of short echemes quickly repeated and lasting for 197 ± 4 ms (echeme period = 873 ± 13 ms), and composed of 4–5 long syllables (m = 4.5 ± 0.5). Within echemes, the syllables usually show increasing amplitudes. Syllables are rather long (duration = 31 ± 4 ms) with a syllable period of 46 ± 3 ms (syllable duty cycle = 71%). The frequency spectrum shows a pure-tone dominant frequency at 4.5 ± 0.5 kHz followed by two powerful harmonics. Measurements. See Table 8. Taxonomic discussion. We confirm the status of junior synonyms of Calyptotrypus roonwali and Dionymus calcaratus according to re-examination of type specimens (HT of C. roonwali and one male ST of D. calcaratus)., Published as part of Jaiswara, Ranjana, Dong, Jiajia, Ma, Libin, Yin, Haisheng & Robillard, Tony, 2019, Taxonomic revision of the genus Xenogryllus Bolívar, 1890 (Orthoptera, Gryllidae, Eneopterinae, Xenogryllini), pp. 301-338 in Zootaxa 4545 (3) on pages 331-334, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4545.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/2618876, {"references":["Walker, F.

Xenogryllini Robillard, 2004 Emended diagnosis. Crickets of contrasted sizes, generally light brown; head higher than wide in facial view; fastigium rather wide; eyes of variable sizes, usually ornamented with thin dorso-ventral dark stripes. TI with two tympana, inner one covered by a sclerotized expansion, its membrane visible along a longitudinal slit only; outer tympanum oval in shape, its surface smooth. TIII spurs characteristic of the subfamily, with four pairs of subapical spurs and three apical spurs on each side, the median the longest; subapical spurs rather straight, with curved apex as in Nisitrini. Wings variable within the tribe in males and females. Male. Metanotum with characteristic glandular structures, with a dense bunch of very long setae on scutum anterior edge. Dorsal margin of subgenital plate with baso-lateral glandular structure on dorsal edge with a median invagination. Male FW venation: 2A and 3A veins narrowly coupled at plectrum level; harp veins variable; mirror generally well developed and rounded; bases of CuA2 and CuA3 fused. Male genitalia: Pseudepiphallic lophi well-developed, long and sclerotized, usually with an apical hook-like expansion; pseudepiphallus with lateral membranous lobes more or less developed; rami fused with pseudepiphallic sclerite, rather short with convergent apex; ectophallic arc faintly or not sclerotized; endophallic sclerite with long latero-posterior arms connected to ectophallic fold, and short anterior region; endophallic apodeme with wide lateral lamellas. Female. Ovipositior apex not denticulate, variably pointed. Distribution.

Distribution. Sub-Saharan Africa: Angola, Benin, Cameroun, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Kenya (one large female specimen with unclear identification), Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Zambia. Emended diagnosis. Species of average size, close to X. mozambicus n. sp. and X. maniema n. sp., from which it differs by face almost flat in lateral view (more rounded in other species), shorter male FWs (short apical field), and shape of lophi in male genitalia. Differing from X. lamottei n. sp. and Asian species by following characters: well-carinated lateral angles of dorsal disc of pronotum (also carinated in X. mozambicus and X. maniema), male genitalia and very short ovipositor. Redescription. Species of average size (Fig. 1 A���C), coloration gray brown little contrasted. Eyes large, lateral, occupying almost half of head height in lateral view (Fig. 3 A���B). Face almost flat in lateral view, with typical whitish mask underlined by a black line below eyes and on mandibles. Pronotum dorsal disc strongly carinated laterally (Fig. 3B), coloration dark brown or brown, most often with a median dark brown band extended laterally near anterior margin, forming a T shape; lateral lobes almost homogeneously dark brown. First article of antennae dark brown. Male. FWs very wide, dark coloration anterior to 1A including angle of 1A (Fig. 5A). File with 658 stridulatory teeth (n=2) on transverse part of 1A. Harp longer than wide. Cell c1 narrowed posteriorly, its fusion with cell b1 slightly shorter than its individualized part. Cell c2 large, d2 long and narrow. Mirror large, wider than long and little rounded, its inner angle forming an angle. Apical field short, wider than long, including four or five cell alignments. Male genitalia (Figs 7 A���C, 8A���B): Pseudepiphallic lophi as long as rest of pseudepiphallic sclerite, forming a long rectangle, sometimes slightly widened preapically; lophi with a narrow membranous inner margin setose basally (Fig. 8 A���B); their bases fused until mid-length; apex pointed and divergent, ended by a thin lamella without hook-like inner dorsal expansion (in dorsal view, anterior base of lamella suggests that lamella may partly correspond to modified inner dorsal expansion of other species); ventral blade of lophi without longitudinal wrinkles, but with a strong ventral transverse carina, as in X. mozambicus n. sp. Pseudepiphallic parameres with a strong rectangular ventral lobe and a basal membranous lobe. Rami strong, their apex forming wide convergent hooks. Ectophallic apodemes strong, not lamellate. Ectophallic lateral expansions, lateral sclerites of ectophallic fold and endophallic sclerite partly fused, forming a wide ventral sclerotized plate, trifid apically; endophallic apodemes made of wide lateral lamellas and a narrow dorsal crest. Female: (Fig. 1C). Dorsal disc of pronotum almost rectangular, its posterior margin slightly bisinuate. FWs dorsal field with 7���10 longitudinal veins (m=8, n=10). Subgenital plate with a shallow apical indentation (Fig. 9A). Ovipositor (Fig. 10A) very short, about one third of FIII length. Female genitalia. Copulatory papilla (Fig. 11 A���B) conical and narrow, its apex rounded; well-sclerotized except base and apex. Life history traits. According to Chiffaud & Gillon (1984), X. eneopteroides is found in Ivory Coast at the end of the dry season, in parts of savannah protected from fires. Their study revealed that the species feeds only on leaves and flowers of dicotyledones which are specific to savannah. Calling song. According to the sonogram showed in Desutter (1983), analyzed by Robillard & Desutter- Grandcolas (2004a, 2011), the calling song of X. eneopteroides is a short echeme made of five long syllables (syllable duration = 65 ms, period = 106.5 ms. Echeme duration = 611 ms, echeme period = 1062 ms. The dominant frequency is low (3.6 kHz) and corresponds to the first peak of the spectrum. Measurements. See Table 2. Taxonomic discussion. The material examined reveals numerous slight differences in male genitalia (Fig. 8 A��� B) and size along the wide geographic distribution of the species. In particular, specimens from Congo differ from the material from the western coast of Africa. However, these differences are not sufficiently clear or are based on too few individuals to delimit different species yet.

To achieve the dual features of fast oil absorption rate and high oil absorbency for the practical application in emergency treatment of spilled chemical pollutants, hierarchical porous resins were synthesized. The polymerization of high internal phase emulsion was applied to fabricate the porous structure for the purpose of high oil absorbency. Polymeric porogens were proposed to adjust the second-order or interconnected pore structure for fast oil absorption rate. SEM revealed the hierarchical porous structure. Molecular weight and dose of polymeric porogen were investigated for the effect on the formation of porous structure and absorption features. Optimized resins have 31.5 g/g or 17.1 g/g absorbency for chloroform and toluene, respectively, and only 5 min is needed to reach their saturation absorption. Besides, the porous resins demonstrated high oil retention under pressure. The absorption/desorption cycling results revealed the high repeatability of recovered resins. All these tests predicted the potential applications of porous resins of this kind particularly in the emergency treatment of oil and chemical pollution.

Genus Duolandrevus Kirby, 1906 Type species. Gryllus brachypterus Haan, 1842 (Java) Notes. This genus is a most usual genus for this tribe. It is widely distributed in Southeast Asia (excepting Indian Subcontinent and Sri Lanka I.) and the Papuan Region (New Guinea and adjacent islands). Duolandrevus is characterized by the following set of characteristics: body is slightly or significantly depressed dorsoventrally; head is wide but not high, with an angular or rounded rostral projection in the profile; pronotum is transverse, without ridges along lateral edges of the disc; male tegmina are shortened and with developed stridulatory apparatus, but sometimes this apparatus is slightly reduced or almost lost; female tegmina are from distinctly shortened to scale-like and always without stridulatory apparatus; hind wings are from strongly shortened to absent; male metanotal gland is developed; legs are strong but not long, with two (inner and outer) tympanal openings in the fore tibia (but sometimes these openings or one of them may be lost), with denticles or unarticulated spines situated proximad to the longer articulated spines of this tibia, and with laterally compressed (not widened) second tarsal segments; male genitalia are with a large but not very long epiphallus deeply bifurcated in the posterior part and having a pair of additional posteromedial lobules (sometimes almost fused with each other) between the larger or longer posterolateral lobes, with rather small and compact ectoparameres partly articulated or fused with the epiphallic posterolateral lobes, with normal endoparameres having a median bridge and rather long apodemes, with short and almost membranous or indistinct rachis (= guiding rod), with a small formula (= mold of spermatophore attachment plate), and with a distinctly sclerotized rami; ovipositor is more or less long, straight, and without drilling denticles on the apical part. Duolandrevus is divided into eight subgenera separated from each other morphologically and more or less geographically. These subgenera and some data on their distributions are given below, in a preliminary key to the Duolandrevus subgenera. However, this key may be significantly modified in the future because many new species must be discovered in the enormous unstudied or almost unstudied regions of Southeast Asia and on numerous islands between Asia and Australia, and some described species are in need of restudy, e.g. subgeneric position is quite uncertain in D. luzonensis Otte, 1988, D. balabacus Otte, 1988 and D. gingoogus Otte, 1988 from the Philippines as well as in D. palauensis Otte, 1988 from a small island situated between the Philippines and New Guinea (Otte, 1988)., Published as part of Ma, Libin, Gorochov, Andrej V. & Zhang, Yalin, 2015, A new species of the genus Duolandrevus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Landrevinae) from China, pp. 443-449 in Zootaxa 3963 (3) on page 445, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3963.3.8, http://zenodo.org/record/234228, {"references":["Kirby, W.

Duolandrevus (Eulandrevus) unguiculatus sp. nov. (Figs 2, A���C; Figs 3, A���D) http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName: 470139 Etymology. The specific epithet ��� unguiculatus ��� refers to the epiphallus having a pair of long and thin (spine-like) posteromedial lobules. Material studied. Holotype: male, China, Yunnan Prov., Mengla, Wangtianshu (Bubang), coll. Ren Guodong, Hou Wenjun and Li Yalin, 6���7 August 2007 (MHBU). Differential diagnosis. General appearance is as in representatives of the subgenus Eulandrevus having a rather small body, a more or less brown head without wrinkles on the face, male tegmina with a small but distinct mirror in the stridulatory apparatus, and fore tibia with both inner and outer tympana developed. Male genitalia of the new species are most similar to those of D. sonorus in the median epiphallic projection having long apical lubules, but in D. unguiculatus, the latter lobules are much longer than in D. sonorus and in all the other species of this subgenus. Description. Male. Anterior part of epicranium under rostral apex 0.93 times as high as antennal cavity and under eyes 0.5 times as high as this cavity; these parts of epicranium smooth, shine and without transverse wrinkles, but with small concave areas under antennal cavities; rostrum between antennal cavities almost as wide as scape. Pronotum distinctly transverse, 1.7 times as wide as long; its lateral lobes moderately narrow, 1.6 times as long as high. Metanotal gland as in Fig. 3 D. Tegmina reaching fifth abdominal tergite, with very short (narrow) and roundly truncate apical area of dorsal field, with rather short and somewhat oblique stridulatory vein, with moderately large and transverse mirror (approximately 1.8 times as wide as long) lacking dividing vein but having a few dividing veinlets in distal part, with wide harp area having seven oblique veins, with diagonal vein bifurcated as base, with strongly arcuate chords connecting with mirror by one crossvein and with diagonal vein by another crossvein, and with lateral field having 4���5 parallel longitudinal veins. Hind wings completely absent. Fore tibia with inner tympanum moderately large and ovoid, with outer tympanum slightly smaller and oval; hind tibiae dorsally with 4 inner and 4 outer articulated spines, and with 7 inner and 6 outer more proximal denticles (small unarticulated spines); hind basitarsus with 5 pairs of dorsal denticles. Supra-anal plate somewhat trapezoidal with straight posterior margin having several setae but lacking both distinct bundle of strong setae in dorsoapical part and dorsoapical denticle. Genitalia. Epiphallus: proximal epiphallic half wide and with a pair of distinct transverse folds on lateral parts of dorsal surface; distal epiphallic half distinctly narrower than proximal one, with a pair of rather large and angular (in profile) posterolateral lobes lacking denticles or strong setae, and with rather long median projection gradually narrowing backwards and having a pair of very long apical lobules slightly curved upwards but almost straight in distal half. Ectoparameres with rather large rounded lobe. Rachis (= guiding rod) rather large, semimembranous in median part but with a pair of lateral elongate (almost stick-like) sclerites; each of these sclerites with rather small rounded lateroproximal lobe and with comparatively thin but not acute apex. Formula small and rather narrow, with moderately long apodeme directed more or less forwards. Colouration. Head dark brown but with following pattern: dorsum of epicranium with 4 somewhat lighter longitudinal stripes; antennal scape, clypeus and labrum light brown with brown patches. Pronotum dark brown with anterior margin, middle part of disc, and lower part of lateral lobes with slightly lighter marks. Legs light brown, but hind femur with brown apical part. Tegmina: dorsal field light brown but having dark brown basal area and brown distal area; lateral field almost uniformly brown. Abdomen brown to dark brown, but its anterior part light brown, and third-seventh segments with small irregular light marks. Female unknown. Measurements.
