Taxonomy of Micronectidae (Heteroptera: Nepomorpha) from Vietnam, with descriptions of 11 new species

The taxonomy of Micronectidae in Vietnam is reviewed. Based on our cumulative collections during 2001–2020, 11 new species of Micronecta Kirkaldy, 1897 are documented and described in this study: M. acuminata sp. nov., M. arcuata sp. nov., M. caperata sp. nov., M. clavata sp. nov., M. cultellata sp. nov., M. fulvopicta sp. nov., M. nieseri sp. nov., M. pingae sp. nov., M. sinuata sp. nov., M. undulata sp. nov., and M. vietnamica sp. nov. Nine species are recorded from Vietnam for the first time: M. decorata Lundblad, 1933, M. drepani Nieser, 2000, M. erythra Nieser, Chen & Yang, 2005, M. fugitans Breddin, 1905, M. johorensis Fernando, 1964, M. melanochroa Nieser, Chen & Yang, 2005, M. ornitheia Nieser, Chen & Yang, 2005, M. sahlbergi (Jakovlev, 1881), and M. tuwanoni Nieser, Chen, Leksawasdi, Thanyakam & Duangsupa, 2004. Thus, in this study, two genera and 37 species of Micronectidae are now reported from Vietnam: Synaptonecta Lundblad, 1933 with only one species, S. issa (Distant, 1910), and Micronecta with 36 species. A key to all species occurring in Vietnam, subgeneric diagnoses, and a key to all current subgenera of Micronecta are provided.

On Little-Known Weevil Taxa (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) Described by V.I. Motschulsky from Japan and the Taxonomic Position of the Subgenus Nipponoblosyrus Korotyaev

Lectotypes of Tyloderes nebulosus Motschulsky, 1860, Dermatodes interstitialis Motschulsky, 1866, and Cneorhinus angusticollis Motschulsky, 1866 are designated. New combinations and new synonymies are established: Catapionus nebulosus (Motschulsky, 1860), comb. n. (= Dermatodes interstitialis Motschulsky, 1866, syn. n., = Catapionus gracilicornis Roelofs, 1873, syn. n., = Catapionus subcostatus Formanek, 1922, syn. n.); Dactylotus angusticollis (Motschulsky, 1866), comb. n. (= Blosyrus falcatus Faust, 1882, syn. n., = Blosyrus japonicus Sharp, 1896, syn. n.). The subgenus Nipponoblosyrus Korotyaev, 1996, stat. res. is restored from synonymy and returned to the genus Dactylotus Schoenherr, 1847.

Advances in the etiology of COVID-19

In December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan. It is a kind of enveloped positive-strand RNA viruses, belonging to the subgenus Sarbecovirus of the genus Betacoronavirus. It is similar to other viruses of the subgenus Sarbecovirus in genomic structure and closely related to the bat coronavirus (RaTG13), indicating that its natural host is likely to be bat, but the intermediate host is still controversial. SARS-CoV-2 infects host cells with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a receptor. At present, SARS-CoV-2 has undergone some mutations. This article reviewed the current research situation and progress in the etiology of COVID-19. Key words: COVID-19; Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; Etiology

Three new rotundabaloghid mites (Acari: Uropodina) from Hong Kong

Three new species of the family Rotundabaloghidae are described from Hong Kong. Angulobaloghia staryi sp. nov. differs from the other AngulobaloghiaHirschmann, 1979 species in the shape and ornamentation of the genital shield of the female. Rotundabaloghia (Rotundabaloghia) hongkongensis sp. nov. has three pairs of short setae (St1, V2 and V6) on the ventral idiosoma, which is unique in the subgenus Rotundabaloghia (Rotundabaloghia)Hirschmann, 1975a. The long, robust and curved setae in the big ventral cavity of Depressorotunda (Depressorotunda) taurina sp. nov. is a character so far unknown in the subgenus Depressorotunda (Depressorotunda)Kontschan, 2010a.
