Abstract

A new species, Hyalesthes (Homalesthes) sagittus sp. n., of the family Cixiidae (Cixiinae, Pentastirini) is described from the Krasnodar Territory. The new species belongs to the Hyalesthes productus species group known from the Western Mediterranean and the Middle East. Natural disjunctive Western Mediterranean – Caucasian distribution as well as unintentional introduction of Auchenorrhyncha taxa are discussed.

Abstract

A new species, Hyalesthes (Homalesthes) sagittus sp. n., of the family Cixiidae (Cixiinae, Pentastirini) is described from the Krasnodar Territory. The new species belongs to the Hyalesthes productus species group known from the Western Mediterranean and the Middle East. Natural disjunctive Western Mediterranean – Caucasian distribution as well as unintentional introduction of Auchenorrhyncha taxa are discussed.

Introduction

As a result of Auchenorrhyncha monitoring in vineyards of Krasnodar Territory, a male of a new species of the genus Hyalesthes Signoret, 1865 was collected by glue trap on the Black sea coast near to Dzhankhot village, SE to Gelendzhik (Fig. 1). Currently, the genus Hyalesthes comprises 30 species in modern fauna distributed in the Western Palaearctic region sensu Emeljanov (1974) (Bourgoin 2024). Based on the elongate coryphe and the structure of male genitalia (number, length and shape of the phallobase processes, shape of style, and pygofer with differently shaped processes on hind margins) the new species belongs to Hyalesthes productus group of species sensu Hoch and Remane (1985) of the subgenus Homalesthes Emeljanov, 2015 based on the carination of head (Emeljanov 2015). This group of species includes six taxa known from the Canary Islands, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq (Hoch 1986, Remane and Hoch 1986). Below we describe a seventh species in the H. productus group which represents the first record of this group of species from Russia and the fourth species of the genus Hyalesthes recorded so far from the Krasnodar Territory (Gnezdilov 1999, 2000).

Material and methods

The terminology of the head, body, and male genitalia follows Anufriev and Emeljanov (1988) and Emeljanov (2015).

Photographs were taken using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera with a Canon-MP-E 65 mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro lens and a flash Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT. Images were produced using Helicon Focus v. 6.7.1 and Adobe Photoshop software. The genital segments of the examined specimen were macerated in 10% KOH and figured in glycerine jelly (Brunel Micro Ltd, UK) using a Leica MZ9.5 stereomicroscope with camera lucida.

The holotype of the species described is deposited in the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia.

Middle ocellus indistinct. Coryphe and metope joined at obtuse angle (in lateral view) (Fig. 2b). Coryphe narrow, arrow-shaped, with acutely angular anterior margin and deeply concave posterior margin (Figs 2a and 3b). Eyes large. Pedicel ball-shaped. Rostrum projecting beyond middle coxae. Pronotum short, with carinae behind eyes, and deeply concave posterior margin (Fig. 3b). Mesonotum large, with five longitudinal carinae (Fig. 2a). Tegulae large. Hind tibia with single small lateral spine in its basal third and with six spines apically. First metatarsomere 1.5 times as long as second one, with six spines apically.

Coloration. Coryphe black, with light brown margins (Fig. 2a). Metope black, with white lateral margins (Fig. 2c). Median carina of metope light brown from upper margin to metopoclypeal suture and black on postclypeus. Anteclypeus black, with light brown median line. Pedicel and tegulae light brown.

Discussion

Hyalesthes sagittus sp. n. is placed in the subgenus Homalesthes Emeljanov, 2015 based on distinct median carina of postclypeus (Emeljanov 2015) even this species has simple carina on the process on lower pygofer margin. Within the Hyalesthes productus group, based on general shape of penis, with 3–4 processes, and left hind margin of pygofer with a short horn-shaped process Hy. (Ho.) sagittus sp. n. is closely related to Hy. (Ho.) productus Lethierry, 1889, from northern Africa, and Hy. (Ho.) duffelsi Dlabola, 1974, from Spain (Lethierry 1889, Dlabola 1974, Hoch and Remane, 1985, figs 27 a–b, 34/II a–b, 35 a–b, 37 a–b) while, by possessing three processes on the penis, it is closer to Hy. (Ho.) duffelsi. However, Hy. (Ho.) sagittus sp. n. differs from the last species by the process on the lower margin of the pygofer bearing a median groove (in dorsal view) (Fig. 4c) (also developed in Hy. (Ho.) productus) and a more acutely angular anterior margin of the coryphe (Figs 2a and 3b) which is similar to those of Hy. (Ho.) tilos Hoch et Remane, 1985, from Gran Canaria Island in the Canary Islands Archipelago (Hoch and Remane 1985, figs 25/Ib, 25/IIe, 27 a–b).

The presence of a “Western Mediterranean element” in the Caucasian Auchenorrhyncha fauna may be explained either by the native genetic faunal connections between the regions in frame of ancient Mediterranean basin or by recent invasion (artificial) with any plant materials from the Western Mediterranean to Krasnodar Territory.

The first hypothesis is supported by the comparable distribution of the leafhopper genus Bilusius Ribaut, 1942 (Cicadellidae), known after two Pyrenean (France) species and one species from Georgia and northeastern Turkey (Ribaut 1952, Logvinenko 1974, Karavín et al. 2011). The monotypical genus Chroocacus Emeljanov, 1962, closely related to Bilusius, is also known from Georgia (Emeljanov 1962). Another example is given by the terrestrial snails of the genus Renea G. Nevill, 1880 (Gastropoda, Aciculidae) known after 12 extant species distributed in the Central European Mediterranean and Transcaucasia (Georgia) and Alborz Mountains (northern Iran) (Páll-Gergely & Grego 2022, fig. 1).

The second scenario assumes that Hy. (Ho.) sagittus sp. n. was unintentionally introduced from its territory of origin, where it is still not found (sic!), to Krasnodar Territory. The type locality of the new species is a big vineyard established in 1985 and surrounded by Pinus brutia var. pityusa forest. In 2016 and 2020 several varieties of grape (Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Malbek, Pinot noir etc.) from Champagne in France and from northeastern Italy were imported and planted in this vineyard and accordingly some insect species could have been introduced together with the planted grapes. Similar situation in which species were described from a region far from its “motherland” is known for four planthopper species of the family Issidae, all of them of Oriental origin. Thabena brunnifrons (Bonfils, Attié et Reynaud, 2001) and Euroxenus vayssieresi (Bonfils, Attié et Reynaud, 2001), firstly described from the Mascarene Islands (Bonfils et al. 2001), were only later recorded from the Oriental, African, Australian and Pacific regions (Gnezdilov 2009, 2022, Gnezdilov and Bartlett 2022, Chan et al. 2013, Schneider et al. 2023), while Thabena fissala (Fieber, 1876) and Thabenula sulcata (Fieber, 1876) are still known only after their original descriptions from Portugal and Sicily (Italy), respectively (Fieber 1876, Gnezdilov et al. 2011).
