Background and purpose Whether or not uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) can achieve durable fixation of implants to bone in patients on chronic hemodialysis is unknown. We analyzed the 2–13-year clinical outcomes of cementless THA in patients with end-stage renal diseases who were maintained on long-term hemodialysis. Patients and methods We reviewed the outcome of 23 consecutive uncemented THAs undertaken between 1993 and 2004, in patients with chronic renal failure who had been on long-term hemodialysis (2–18 years). 1 patient died and 2 patients were lost to follow-up within 2 years, leaving 20 hips (20 patients, median age 66 (38–81) years at the time of THA, 11 females) that were reviewed at median 7 (2–13) years postoperatively. Results Radiographic bone-ingrowth fixation of the components was found in 19 patients. 1 patient had aseptic loosening requiring revision surgery. The median d'Aubigne and Postel score was 10 (8–14) preoperatively and 15 (12–18) at final review. No prosthetic infections were found in any of the patients. Interpretation Uncemented THA shows promising medium-term results in patients receiving long-term hemodialysis.

Type species: Tinea pyralella (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775. Scopea Haworth, 1828: 590. Unnecessary replacement name for Scoparia Haworth, 1811. Phegea Gistel, 1848: ix. Unnecessary replacement name for Eudorea Curtis, 1827. Eudoroea Bruand, 1851: 26. Incorrect subsequent spelling of Eudorea Curtis, 1827. Tetraprosopus Butler, 1882: 97. Type species: Tetraprosopus meyrickii Butler, 1882. Xeroscopa Meyrick, 1884: 349. Type species: Scoparia ejuncida Knaggs, 1867. Sineudonia Leraut, 1986: 128. Type species: Sineudonia brunnea Leraut, 1986. General characters Forewing length 5–12 mm. Labial palpus generally blackish brown, first and second segments ventrally with long downwards white scales. Maxillary palpus usually blackish brown except white base and tip. Antenna mostly brown and white alternately on dorsal surface. Forewing ground colour usually white, with three white transverse lines (antemedian, postmedian, and subterminal lines) and three black stigmata (two antemedian stigmata and one distal discoidal stigma). Hindwing white to pale brown. Legs white, covered with brown scales on outer side; tarsi white and brown alternately on outer side. Male genitalia with developed uncus and gnathos; valva with well-developed sacculus and bearing free distal process; phallus generally with cornutus, opening of ductus ejaculatorius anteriorly. Female genitalia with broad and short papillae anales, apophysis posterior and apophysis anterior long and thin; tergite 8 usually shorter than apophysis anterior; ductus seminalis arising anterior to colliculum. Distribution All continents except Antarctica and many oceanic islands, but do not occur in tropical lowland forests (Li, Li & Nuss, 2010). Remarks Ever since the first specimen of Scoparis was collected by Leech from Pu-tsu-Fang (∼ 2993 m a.s.l.) in China in 1890, the genus has never been reviewed from China until 2010 (Li, Li & Nuss, 2010). To date, 24 verified species have been known in China, which are mostly known from localities ranging from low (50 m a.s.l.) to relatively high (2000 m a.s.l.) elevations (Li, Li & Nuss, 2010; Li, 2012; Li & Liu, 2013). Specimens collected at high elevations are rare, possibly because the high mountainous areas in western China are difficult to access., Published as part of Li, Wei-Chun & Liu, Dong, 2014, DNA barcoding and morphology reveal exceptional species diversity of Scoparia (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) from the Hailuogou Glacier area, China, pp. 732-752 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 171 (4) on page 735, DOI: 10.1111/zoj.12154, http://zenodo.org/record/5311621, {"references":["Haworth AH. 1811.
