Summary
This monograph revises Indochinese species of Tetraserica, describing 88 new species and establishing new combinations and synonyms. It provides a key and illustrations for 116 species in the region.
Area of Science:
- Taxonomy
- Entomology
- Biodiversity
Background:
- The genus Tetraserica Ahrens, 2004 includes numerous species across Southeast Asia.
- Previous taxonomic work on Indochinese Tetraserica has been limited, necessitating a comprehensive revision.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a monograph of the Indochinese species of Tetraserica.
- To revise the taxonomy of Tetraserica species found in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Peninsular Malaysia, and Mizoram, India.
- To describe new species and establish new taxonomic combinations and synonyms.
Main Methods:
- Monographic revision of the genus Tetraserica.
- Morphological examination of specimens.
- Designation of lectotypes.
- Description of new species and new combinations.
- Creation of a dichotomous key for species identification.
Main Results:
- 88 new species of Tetraserica are described from Indochina.
- 8 new combinations (comb. n.) and 2 new synonyms (syn. n.) are established.
- Lectotypes for three previously described species are designated.
- A total of 116 Tetraserica species are recorded from the study area.
- Illustrations of habitus and male genitalia are provided for all species.
Conclusions:
- This revision significantly expands the known diversity of Tetraserica in Indochina.
- The study provides a crucial taxonomic framework for future research on this genus.
- The detailed descriptions and key will aid in the identification and study of Indochinese Tetraserica species.

01:03IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region
1.9K
IR spectra are divided into two main regions: the diagnostic region and the fingerprint region. The diagnostic region of the spectrum lies above 1500 cm−1. The absorptions resulting from single-bond vibrations of the N–H, C–H, and O–H stretch at higher wavenumbers and appear on the left side of the spectrum. The stretching absorptions of the C≡C and C≡N occur between 2100–2300 cm−1. In contrast, those arising from stretching absorptions of the...

02:40The Eukaryotic Promoter Region
18.7K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences. The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

01:17Region of Convergence
911
The z-transform is a powerful mathematical tool used in the analysis of discrete-time signals and systems. It is a crucial tool in the analysis of discrete-time systems, but its convergence is limited to specific values of the complex variable z. This range of values, known as the Region of Convergence (ROC), is fundamental in determining the behavior and stability of a system or signal. The ROC defines the region in the complex plane where the z-transform converges, which can take various...

15.3K
Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

5.1K
The diencephalon, etymologically translated as 'through brain,' plays an integral role as the conduit between the cerebrum and the vast extent of the nervous system. However, the olfactory system is an exception, as it interfaces directly with the cerebrum. The diencephalon, deeply ensconced beneath the cerebrum, primarily consists of three paired structures — the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithelamus. It also includes accessory structures such as the subthalamus, which houses the...
