Abstract:
... Morphological character states are examined among sericothripines and related Thysanoptera-Terebrantia, and generic and suprageneric relationships are explored. The monophyly of Sericothripinae is recovered, but the metasternal shape, as used in the current generic classification, probably does not reflect phylogeny. In accord with recent molecular studies, Thripinae of the Scirtothrips genus-grou ...

Abstract:
... Nomenclatural benchmarking is the periodic realignment of species names with species theories and is necessary for the accurate and uniform use of Linnaean binominals in the face of changing species limits. Gaining access to types, often for little more than a cursory examination by an expert, is a major bottleneck in the advance and availability of biodiversity informatics. For the nearly two mil ...
