Repatriation of knowledge about insects and types through the DORSA virtual museum (Digital Orthoptera Specimen Access).

DORSA (Digital Orthoptera Specimen Access) ist ein virtuelles Museum, das Informationen über Typus-Exemplare von Orthopteren und andere Belege, welche über die wichtigsten deutschen Museums-Sammlungen verstreut sind, in einer einzigen Datenbank zusammenführt. Etwa 16.000 Individuen-Einträge aus über 4.000 Arten sind über das Internet in der SYSTAX-Datenbank (www.biologie.uni-ulm.de/systax) suchbar. SYSTAX stellt die Daten auch über die GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility)- und BIOCASE (Biological Collection Access Service for Europe)- Portale bereit. Etwa 8.000 Typus-Individuen (davon 2.300 primäre Typen) sind mit über 30.000 Fotos dokumentiert. Die Datenbank enthält ferner 12.000 Tonaufnahmen. Fundortdaten und Verbreitungskarten der gespeicherten Individuen sind ebenfalls abrufbar. Die DORSA-Individuendaten sind reziprok mit dem Orthoptera Species File (OSF) verbunden; dieses bildet zugleich das taxonomische Rückrat für DORSA. Alle DORSA Informationen sind frei über das Internet verfügbar. Auf diese Weise wird das Wissen über die Typus-Individuen, die seit der Kolonialzeit gesammelt worden waren, in die Herkunftsländer repatriiert.StichwörterOrthoptera, DORSA, SYSTAX, OSF, specimen database, type information, virtual museum, repatriation of knowledge.DORSA (Digital Orthoptera Specimen Access) is a virtual museum joining information on Orthoptera types and voucher specimens scattered over the major German museum collections in a single database.

Orthelimaea volsella Ingrisch, 2011, sp. n.

Orthelimaea volsella sp. n. Figs. 10 I–L, 11 D–F, 12 G–K Holotype (male): Thailand: Nakhon Ratchasima, Pak Chong (western suburbs) [14 ° 40 'N, 101 ° 24 'E], 14.v. 2002, leg. S. Ingrisch, depository: Museum Koenig Bonn (ZFMK). Paratypes: Thailand: 1 male, 2 females, same data as holotype (1 female in ZFMK, remainder in CI); 1 female, same locality, 16.x. 1990, leg. S. Ingrisch (CI). Diagnosis. Differs from all related species by the characteristic phallus sclerites, which consist of a pair of elongate and in lateral view sinuate, at base widened and strongly curved sclerites and a small, unpaired, bi-alar sclerite at very base. The stridulatory vein differs from O. leeuwenii by the area of small dense teeth being shorter and from O. kanburi, in which such an area is absent. The epiproct is similar to those of O. leeuwenii and O. bezborodovi but differs from both by the latero-apical angles not projecting and a triangular apico-medial lobe hardly indicated. The male cerci have the swollen basal area longer and narrower than in all three other species. Description. Fastigium verticis narrow, dorsally furrowed; separated from fastigium frontis by an angular gap. Pronotum narrow; disc with rounded lateral angles; paranota longer than high; humeral sinus present. Tegmen narrow; hind wings projecting. Anterior coxa with minute spinule. Femora with small black spinules on ventral margins, on hind femur rarely only one spinule or unarmed. Anterior femur straight. Anterior tibia with four apical spurs; tibial tympana conchate on both sides. Male. Tegmen with costal area distinctly widened in about basal third; dorsal area widened in about basal half, afterwards narrow; stridulatory area moderately wide (Fig. 10 I). Stridulatory file on underside of left tegmen arched, 1.30–1.39 mm long; teeth medium sized, somewhat spaced, in about apical third becoming narrow and gradually smaller towards apex; with 48 teeth, equating 34 teeth per mm (Fig. 10 K). Mirror on right tegmen with broadly rounded anterior margin; hind margin substraight with rounded lateral corners, 1.29–1.42 mm long, 1.07– 1.13 mm wide; index length: width 1.21–1.25 (Fig. 10 J). Tenth abdominal tergite with hind margin little concave in middle (Fig. 11 D). Epiproct angular, running ventrad then apicad, widening and with little projecting apico-lateral corners, substraight in between (Fig. 11 E). Cerci only in about basal third conical; afterwards compressed and recurved; apex acute (Fig. 11 F). Subgenital plate elongate with about apical half nearly parallel-sided; less than apical half divided into two little twisted lobes with numerous spinules along internal margins of fissing area (Fig. 10 L). Phallus lateral lobes with flat apical to latero-ventral expansion; medial lobe with a pair of compressed hyaline plates and a small unpaired basal sclerite; plates with lateral surfaces very finely setose, towards apex few large setae; dorsal margin in lateral view distinctly sinuate, brown and densely denticulate; basal sclerite brown with ventral area laterally compressed dividing dorsally into two laterally curved, dorso-ventrally compressed branches (Figs. 12 G–I). Female. Tegmen with costal are in about basal half moderately widened; dorsal area only little widened near base, gradually becoming narrower behind. [Tenth abdominal tergite distorted in specimens at hand]. Epiproct tongue-shaped with short medial furrow. Cerci little curved; apex pointing. Subgenital plate with central area elevated; apex rounded (Fig. 12 J). Ovipositor short sabre-shaped; margins in about apical half with strong, large teeth (Fig. 12 K). Coloration. Green with fine black dots. Antenna with scapus and pedicellus brown; flagellum green, annulated. Vertex and dorsal area of tegmen dark brown, disc of pronotum with red medial band and fine pale lateral lines. Tegmen with indistinct piles of black dots. Females green; tegmen with brown dorsal band less distinct than in male. Measurements (2 males, 2 females). Body w/wings: male 30, female 32–37; body w/o wings: male 15, female 18–19; pronotum: male 3.7–3.8, female 3.8–4.1; tegmen: male 23–24, female 24.5 –28.0; tegmen width: male 4.5 – 5.0, female 4.5 –5.0; hind femur: male 17.5–18, female 21–23; ovipositor: female 7 mm. Etymology. The name of the new species refers to the shape of the phallus sclerites and is derived from volsella Lat. = pliers; noun in apposition. Stridulation (Fig. 13). A single isolated male was recorded. It produced, at night and 23 °C, only five chirps in 45 minutes continuous recording. One chirp lasted between two and four seconds (mean 3.112 s), with short crescendo at start and of equal loudness thereafter. The frequency peak within the audible range was around 14 kHz but it is supposed to contain ultrasonic components. The pauses between the chirps lasted between 7 and 10 minutes, but there was a long period of silence at the end of the recording.Published as part of Ingrisch, Sigfrid, 2011, New taxa of Elimaeini (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) from South East Asia, pp. 1-25 in Zootaxa 2935 on pages 11-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27809

Elimaea (Schizelimaea) singgalang Ingrisch, 2011, sp. n.

Elimaea (Schizelimaea) singgalang sp. n. Figs. 9 A–K Holotype (male): Indonesia: West Sumatra, Zufluss des Singgalang [0° 28 'S, 100 ° 22 'E], kleines Dorf, Eisenbahn- und Autobrücke verlaufen dort parallel, ca 12 km nach dem Wasserfall von Lembah Anei und 3 km von Padang Panjang (Taglang), 13.ix. 1991, leg. Wolfram Guidetti, depository: Institut und Museum für Regenwaldökologie Leipzig (IMRL). Diagnosis. The new species shares with Elimaea (Schizelimaea) caricifolia (De Haan, 1842) from Borneo, Elimaea (Rhaebelimaea) filicauda Hebard, 1922 and Elimaea (Rhaebelimaea) bakeri Hebard, 1922, both from the Philippines, the long and filiform lobes of the male subgenital plate, with E. caricifolia also the widening of the male tegmen especially in basal half of costal area (compare Figs. 9 A–B with 9 L–M). It differs from the latter by the shape of the stridulatory area of the male tegmen with the medially projecting angle being obtuse but nearly rectangular in E. caricifolia and by the shape and course of the stridulatory and other veins. From E. filicauda it differs by the widened tegmen, shape of stridulatory area, apical area of male cerci and shorter lobes of the male subgenital plate. From E. bakeri it differs by longer and more strongly curved cerci with different apical tooth, the roughly triangular epiproct, and less curved apical lobes of the subgenital plate. The stridulatory file and phallic sclerites of E. caricifolia, E. filicauda and E. bakeri are not known but probably also differ from the shape in the new species. Description. Fastigium verticis only at base with a short furrow; angularly separated from fastigium frontis. Pronotum disc flattened with lateral angles rounded; apical margin rounded; paranota little longer than high; humeral sinus present. Tegmen wide; anterior margin convex, posterior margin little sinuate; apex obliquely truncate. Hind wings projecting. Anterior coxa with short spine. Mid and hind femora with numerous spinules on externo-ventral margins, anterior femur on both ventral margins. Anterior tibia phasmid-like curved; tibial tympana conchate on both sides but tympana covered only half. Male. Stridulatory area moderately wide with angular internal margin; stridulatory vein straight (Figs. 9 A–B). Stridulatory file on underside of left tegmen convex, little sinuate, 2.53 mm long; teeth moderately large, narrowing in apical third, gradually standing narrower towards apex; with 57 teeth, equating 23 teeth per mm; in basal half 1.4, in apical half with 3.4 teeth per 0.1 mm (Fig. 9 C). Mirror on right tegmen nearly quadrate with rounded angles; on internal side with strong, half-moon shaped swelling, 1.78 mm long, 1.78 mm wide; index length: width 1.00 (Fig. 9 B). Tenth abdominal tergite with fine furrow in midline; apical margin subtruncate (Fig. 9 D). Epiproct conical with rounded apex (Fig. 9 E). Cerci curved, apex with compressed tooth with subacute tip (Fig. 9 G). Subgenital plate split to base into two compressed, at base conical, afterwards filiform, upcurved lobes [left lobe broken in specimen at hand, glued to cardboard] (Fig. 9 F). Phallus with a pair of sclerotised plates; dorsal marginal area brown with scaly surface, margin with numerous small and some larger denticles (Figs. 9 I –J). Coloration. Green (Fig. 9 K). Vertex with narrow dark postocular bands. Pronotum with dark lateral bands composed of dots. Tegmen with little conspicuous black dots; stridulatory area black. Measurements (1 male). Body w/wings: 53; body w/o wings: 25; pronotum: 5.2; tegmen: 42; tegmen width: 10; hind femur: 27.5 mm. Etymology.
