Abstract:

A new species of the genus Cyana Walker, 1854, Cyana ebigane sp. n. is described from Gabon. The new species belongs to the subgenus Strigivulpecula Karisch, 2013 and comparisons are made with its congeners C. nemasisha Roesler, 1990, C. rufeola Karisch DallAsta, 2010, C. klausruedigerbecki Karisch, 2005 and C. fasciata Karisch, 2013. Cyana nemasisha Roesler, 1990 is reported from Gabon for the first time. Adults and male genitalia of the new and the similar species discussed in the paper are illustrated.

Epiphytes, Parasites, and Carnivores

Epiphytes, Parasites, and Carnivores

Plants often form mutualistic relationships with soil-dwelling fungi or bacteria to enhance their roots’ nutrient uptake ability. Root-colonizing fungi (e.g., mycorrhizae) increase a plant’s root surface area, which promotes nutrient absorption. While root-colonizing, nitrogen-fixing bacteria (e.g., rhizobia) convert atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3), making nitrogen available to plants for various biological functions. For example, nitrogen is essential for the...

Pollination and Flower Structure

Pollination and Flower Structure

Flowers are the reproductive, seed-producing structures of angiosperms. Typically, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Sepals and petals are the vegetative flower organs. Stamens and carpels are the reproductive organs.
