Cybersecurity is now considered as one of the main challenges for the maritime sector. It is also important to clearly highlight the fact the wider maritime transport industry remains one of the most relevant and driving sectors for the global economy both in terms of the number and operations of active companies, and in terms of infrastructure and investments, thanks to the activation policies pushed to attract the latter. Maritime information systems, whether on board of ships or in ports, are numerous, built with standard components available on the market and in many cases designed without accounting for the cyber risk, which is ever-growing. Digital infrastructure has become essential to the operation and management of numerous systems critical to the safety and security of shipping and ports. Specifically, the Cyber-MAR project is focused upon the simulation and emulation of the real world of maritime systems (e.g. Logistics, Supply Chain). This research effort will examine the creation of a federated Cyber Range (CR Cyber-MAR) which will include the various platforms and interconnected systems on board a vessel or ashore (port) in order to allow a hyper-realistic simulation of cyber-attacks and trying to assimilate them to real-life. Then, the identified CR Cyber range will be integrated in the Cybersecurity training needs for different levels of operators. The investigation of the topic under discussion will essentially use qualitative techniques, through analysis of data to be obtained from publications, official and commercial reports, interviews. Furthermore, the current collaborative training environments in the maritime sector will be analysed in-depth with regard to aspects of IT security, identifying the existing main categories of training activities.

Taxonomic discussion Simulium petropoliense was described by Coscarón (1980) from a reared female holotype and pupal paratype collected in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro State, on 12.v. 1979 by this author. On a visit to MLP, the first author of the current paper examined the type material of S. petropoliense. The material identified as S. petropoliense housed in MLP consists of a pinned reared female and two slides. One slide contains the genitalia of a female (only the genital fork, spermatheca, gonapophyses, cercus, and paraproct), one wing and one hind leg. This slide does not bear a label stating locality, date or collector’s name, but it has a white label in Coscarón’s hand “ Simulium petropoliense Ψ n. sp. ” and “parte del Holotipo” [= part of the Holotype]. The stem and the left lateral arm of the genital fork are broken. The coxa of the hind leg is missing. The other slide, which is labelled as paratype, only contains a pupal exuviae. However, the pinned reared female labelled as holotype (HOLOTIPO) of S. petropoliense does not belong to this species. This specimen is entire and has been glued, together with its pupal exuviae, to a card point, which is attached to the pin. The number and configuration of the pupal gill filaments agree with the pattern found in S. souzalopesi Coscarón and it has been labelled accordingly (see Material Examined). This problem was discussed with Sixto Coscarón, who agreed with Luis Hernández’s identification. The remains of the single reared female of S. petropoliense, which was partly dissected by Coscarón to illustrate the morphology of the genitalia of S. petropoliense (Coscarón 1980), was not found in the MLP holdings and it is now considered lost. The morphology of the gonapophyses and hind leg in the single slide, which bears on its label “part of the holotype ”, agree with Coscaron’s illustrations of S. petropoliense. Consequently, we consider that this is all that remains of the holotype of S. petropoliense and it has been labelled accordingly (see Material Examined). Simulium petropoliense is placed in the botulibranchium species group by the combination of characters given by Coscarón (1980, 1987, 1991), especially the females with a sub­triangular paraproct with a basal protuberance (Fig. 11); male with an elongate, sub­triangular gonostyle, the same length as the gonocoxite (Fig. 20), and pupa with asymmetrical gill filaments (Figs. 25–29). We agree with the placement of S. petropoliense in this species group. We have compared S. petropoliense with the three other species of the botulibranchium species group (sensu Crosskey & Howard 2004) based on images in the BMNH image archive, specimens in the AMNH, BMNH, IOC, MLP, and NMUH collections, and descriptions and figures in Coscarón (1980). The morphology of the female genitalia separates S. lurybayae Smart from S. petropoliense, S. botulibranchium Lutz, and S. souzalopesi. In S. lurybayae, the paraproct is sub­quadrangular, extending ventrally nearly by the same length as the cercus, and with a small protuberance basally (BMNH image archive). This configuration agrees with the general morphology of most of the species in the inaequale species group. The male, pupa, and larva of S. lurybayae are unknown. In S. petropoliense, S. botulibranchium, and S. souzalopesi the paraproct is sub­triangular extending ventrally 1.5 times beyond the junction with the cercus, and has a distinct protuberance on the posterior margin basally (Fig. 11; Coscarón 1980). The female of the latter three species cannot be separated without examination of the pupal gill filaments. Based on the morphology of the male genitalia, especially the ventral plate, the male of S. petropoliense is most similar to the male of S. botulibranchium by having the basal arms of the ventral plate reduced (Fig. 21; Coscarón 1980). Simulium souzalopesi is quite distinct by having the ventral plate with well­developed basal arms that distinctly curve inwards (Coscarón 1980). The most reliable character to recognise S. petropoliense is the configuration of the pupal gill filaments. Simulium petropoliense and S. botulibranchium differ from S. souzalopesi in that in the latter species the pupal gill filaments are bare and there are only 6 filaments (Coscarón 1980). In S. petropoliense and S. botulibranchium, the gills are stout and bulbous for their main part and consist of a dorsal and a ventral primary branch that divide from the main stem basally in the vertical plane, each of them forming a right angle or nearly a right angle, causing the rest of the gill to be directed anteriorly. A prominence is present on each primary branch at or near the right angle bend (Figs. 23–29; Coscarón 1980). The dorsal primary branch in the two species then divides into four (S. petropoliense) or up to five (S. botulibranchium) secondary branches of variable length. In S. petropoliense, they are finer and longer (Figs. 25–29), but much stouter and shorter in S. botulibranchium (Coscarón 1980). The ventral primary branch remains bulbous and simple in S. botulibranchium (BMNH image archive; Coscarón 1980), but it can be single or divided into two filamentous secondary branches in S. petropoliense (Figs. 25–29). Another difference between these two species is the morphology of the gill surface. In S. botulibranchium, the gill is covered in minute spicules, whereas in S. petropoliense it is covered with hairs (Figs. 25–29). The larva of S. petropoliense externally resembles that of S. botulibranchium because of its similar postgenal cleft (Figs. 33–34; Fig. 2 G in Coscarón 1980), which is large and bell­shaped with a distinct median incision. However, it can be reliably identified by the different configuration of the dissected pupal gill histoblasts. The larva of S. souzalopesi is easily identified by the shorter postgenal cleft (Coscarón 1980, Fig. 4 G) and the pupal gill histoblasts with 6 filaments, not covered by ha, Published as part of Hernandez, Luis Miguel, Dias, Antonio Paulino Andrade De Luna, Maia-Herzog, Marilza & Shelley, Anthony John, 2006, Taxonomy of Simulium (Inaequalium) petropoliense Coscarón (Diptera: Simuliidae) from Brazil, with the first description of the male and larva, pp. 1-20 in Zootaxa 1275 on pages 2-14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.173307, {"references":["Coscaron, S.
