Estudos sôbre nematóides Filarídeos: genótipo de Dipetalonema Diesing, 1861; valor dos gêneros Acanthocheilonema Cobbold, 1870 e Breinlia Yorke & Maplestone, 1926

The author divides the article in thee parts. In the first part he studies the literature on the genotype of Dipetalonema DIESING, 1861 - D. caudispina (MOLIN, 1858), and gives a new generic diagnosis of the Diesing's genus, based upon its type species. In the second one he studies the literature on the validity of Acanthocheilonema COBBOLD, 1870, and, comparing both generic defvinition and type-species description of Acanthocheilonema dracunculoides COBBOLD, 1870 and Dipetalonema caudispina (MOLIN, 1858), concludes that Cobbold's genus Acanthocheilonema must be, definitely, considered as a synonym of Dipetalonema DIESING, 1861. In the third part a comparative study, based on the literature, is made between generic definitions and type-species descriptions of Breinlia trichosuri (BREINL, 1913) and Dipetalonema caudipina (MOLIN, 1858), and the author concludes that Breinlia must be considered as a valid genus, distinguished from Dipetalonema, principally, by the morphology fo the longer spicule.

Contribuição ao conhecimento da tribu Ormiini. III: gênero Euphasiopteryx Townsend, 1915 (Diptera, Tachinidae)

This is a contribution to the knowledge of the Tribu Ormiini in wich the author presents redescriptions of euphasiopteryx depleta (Wiedemann, 1830), Euphasiopteryx ochracea (Bigot, 1888) and describes a new species: Euphasiopteryx rosenoi sp. n. from Brazil.

Contribuição ao conhecimento da tribu Ormiini: IV: gêneros Ormia Robineau Desvoidy, 1830, e, Euphasiopteryx Townsend, 1915 (Diptera, Tachinidae)

Studying thirteen speciemens of the genus Ormia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, and one of Euphasiopteryx Towsend, 1915, the author describes six new species: Ormia mendesi sp. n., Ormia lenkoi sp. n., Ormia carreirai sp. n., Ormia crespoi sp. n., Ormia wygodzinskyi sp. n., and Euphasiopteryx lenti sp. n. from Brasil and Argentina. The importance of the ocelli as a generic character, as stated by Towsend (1936) is discussed based on the absence of ocelli in Ormia mendesi sp. n. and Ormia crespoi sp. n. and its presence in Euphasiopteryx lenti sp. n. A key for the determination of Ormia species is presented based chiefly on the males external morphological characters.
