Abstract

Background

Euroxenusvayssieresi (Bonfils, Attie & Reynaud, 2001) (Issinae, Sarimini) was described (in the genus Borbonissus Bonfils, Attie & Reynaud, 2001) from Réunion Island, in the Indian Ocean and, previous to this report, has not been recorded elsewhere. Euroxenusvayssieresi is here illustrated and re-described to improved taxonomic diagnosis.

New information

Euroxenusvayssieresi is recorded for the first time from the Island of Hawaii in the Hawaiian Archipelago. This is first record of the family Issidae from the Hawaiian Archipelago.

Keywords: Issidae, new record, Pacific Region, Sarimini, Hawaii

Introduction

The Hawaiian planthopper (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Fulgoroidea) fauna consists of 207 endemic species (64 Cixiidae plus 143 Delphacidae) and at least 15 adventive species (10 Delphacidae, 2 Flatidae, 1 Tropiduchidae and 2 Derbidae) (Zimmerman 1948, Beardsley 1979, Beardsley 1990, Asche 1997, Asche 2000a, Asche 2000b, Nishida 2002, Hoch 2006). No additional adventive planthopper species have been reported since the publication of the Fourth Edition of Bishop Museum’s Hawaiian Terrestrial Arthropod Checklist (Nishida 2002), i.e. Matsunaga et al. (2019). Beardsley (1979) reported that the rate of 'accidental immigration and establishment' was about 16 species a year between 1937 and 1961 and about 19 species a year between 1962 and 1976 (subsequent rates have not been reported). The importation of live plant material may be the main source of immigrant species (at least for phytophagous insects) (Beardsley 1979, DeNitto et al. 2015, Mound et al. 2017) and the primary sources of introductions are the mainland, the United States and Asia-Pacific (DeNitto et al. 2015). Here, we report an established species of Issidae, found at three localities on the western side of the Island of Hawaii in 2021.

The planthopper family Issidae comprises about 1,090 species in 217 genera distributed worldwide (Bourgoin 2021). Issids are absent in southern Africa (except for two species of the genus Ikonza Hesse, 1925 from north Namibia and south Angola), Madagascar, the Seychelles and Tasmania (Gnezdilov 2013, Gnezdilov 2016). In Oceania, Issidae are known from New Guinea (eight genera, 17 species), the Solomon Islands (one species) and Fiji (one species) (Gnezdilov 2013, Gnezdilov et al. 2015, Gnezdilov 2020b), but are absent in Micronesia and Polynesia including New Zealand and Hawaii. In the South Indian Ocean, the Issidae are known only from the Mascarene Archipelago (two species, Bonfils et al. 2001), consisting (in part) of the large islands Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues.

The genus Borbonissus Bonfils, Attie & Reynaud, 2001 was described with two species from Réunion Island, B.brunnifrons Bonfils, Attie & Reynaud, 2001 (type species) and B.vayssieresi Bonfils, Attie & Reynaud, 2001 (Bonfils et al. 2001). Later, Borbonissus was synonymised under Thabena Stål 1866 and Euroxenus Gnezdilov, 2009, erected to accommodate B.vayssieresi (Gnezdilov 2009). Gnezdilov (2009) postulated that the issid fauna of Réunion Island had an Oriental genesis and proposed a close relationship of Euroxenus and the Oriental genus Eusarima Yang, 1994 (in Chan and Yang 1994), recently supported by molecular data (Gnezdilov et al. in press). Thabenabrunnifrons was later recorded from Rodrigues, Taiwan, Dongsha (Pratas) Islands and Singapore (Chan et al. 2013, Gnezdilov 2014b, Gnezdilov 2015).

Here, we record E.vayssieresi from the Island of Hawaii in the Hawaiian Archipelago. This species is re-described to improve on diagnostic features reported by Gnezdilov (2009) and Gnezdilov (2020).

Materials and methods

Morphological terminology follows Anufriev and Emeljanov (1988) and Gnezdilov et al. (2014). Photographs were taken using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera with the lens Canon-MP-E-65mm f/2,8 1-5x Macro and the flash Canon Macro Twin-Lite MT-26EX-RT. Images were produced using Helicon Focus v. 7.6.4 and Adobe Photoshop СС 2019 software. The genital segments of male specimens examined were macerated in 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) and figured in glycerine jelly (Brunel Micro Ltd, UK) using a Leica MZ9.5 stereomicroscope with a camera lucida. The map was prepared using Google Earth Pro (version 7.3) with map data sources as attributed in image.

The specimens examined are deposited in University of Delaware, Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, Newark, Delaware, USA (UDCC); Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC (USNM); Bernice P Bishop Museum of Natural History, Honolulu, Hawaii (BPBM); and the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation (ZIN).

Forewing vein sequence: R 2, furcating near basal cell; M 2, furcating after wing middle; CuA 2, furcating after wing middle; basal cell narrowly oval. Hind wing with coupling lobe and deep cubital and vannal clefts (Fig. 5); anal lobe less wide than remigial and remigio-vannal lobes. Hind wing vein sequence: R 2, furcating apically after coupling lobe; r-m 1; M 1; m-cua 1; CuA 2; CuP 1; Pcu 1; A1 2; A2 1. CuA2 and CuP fused and flattened apically and Pcu and A1.1 fused medially. Front and middle femora slightly flattened. Hind tibia with two large lateral spines past mid-length and six apical spines. First and second metataromeres of subequal length, but basitarsus wider; basitarsus with two latero-apical spines and 13 intermediate spines arranged in arc; ventral surface with long setae; second metatarsomere with pair of latero-apical spines and median lobe.

Genus diagnosis: Metope (~ frons) broad (Fig. 3), widest below the eyes, with distinct median carina running from upper margin through postclypeus and distinct sublateral carinae joined with median carina at upper metopial margin and almost reaching metopoclypeal suture. Rostrum reaching hind coxae, 2nd and 3rd segments are almost equal in length; 3rd narrowing apically. Coryphe (~ vertex) (Fig. 4) slightly wider than long medially, anterior margin produced, obtusely angled. Metope and coryphe joined at obtuse angle (in lateral view, Fig. 2). Paradiscal fields of pronotum very narrow behind eyes. Forewings just covering abdominal apex, slightly narrowing apically, without hypocostal plate, with wide precostal area; clavus long. Forewing vein sequence: R 2, furcating near basal cell; M 2, CuA 2, both furcating after wing middle. Hind wings (Fig. 5) with deep cubital and vannal clefts; anal lobe less wide than remigial and remigio-vannal lobes. Hind wing vein sequence: R 2; r-m 1; M 1; m-cua 1; CuA 2; CuP 1; Pcu 1; A1 2; A2 1. CuA and CuP fused and flattened apically and Pcu and A1 fused medially. Hind tibia with two large lateral spines. First metataromere with two latero-apical spines and 13 intermediate spines arranged in arc. Phallobase narrow, curved (in lateral view, Fig. 6B and C), each dorsolateral phallobase lobe with narrow semicircular subapical lobe, large three-branched process below it and with a lateral slit and folds near middle. Ventral phallobase lobe long and wide. Aedeagus with a pair of long and narrow, apically pointed ventral hooks, arising subapically and directed basally. Apical aedeagal processes long and wide apically. Gonostylus (in lateral view, Fig. 6E) with deeply concave hind margin. Hind margin of female sternite VII protruding medially (ventral view); gonoplacs short; anal tube elongate.

Differential genus diagnosis: Euroxenus is closely related to Eusarima Yang, 1994 and Duplexissus Wang, Zhang & Bourgoin, 2019, based on having completely developed median and sublateral carinae of metope and the presence of a long and narrow process on each dorso-lateral lobe of the phallobase. However, Euroxenus differs from both genera by the shorter forewings with bifurcate median veins (tri- or tetrafurcate in Eusarima and Duplexissus) and by trifurcate processes of the phallobase (simple in Eusarima and bifurcate in Duplexissus) (Chan and Yang 1994, figs. 45–72; Wang et al. 2019, figs. 12-22).

Discussion

The specimens of Euroxenusvayssieresi were all collected in 2021 in very dry areas, on the west side of the Island of Hawaii at three localities (Fig. 7, from north to south): Keauhou, Kailua-Kona and Spencer Beach Park. The three localities are all near the coast (Keauhou Lookout is about ca. 300 feet (ca. 100 m) elevation), with the straight-line distance between Keauhou and Spencer Beach about 30 miles (48 km). The dominant vegetation at the sites was exotic species with a Kiawe (Prosopispallida) and Koa Haole (Leucaenaleucocephala) canopy. The specimens were mainly collected by general sweeping of grasses and weeds of the understorey, with no clear plant associations made.

In Réunion, adults and nymphs of E.vayssieresi were recorded from Cestrum sp. (stated as ‘noctuiflorum’, but apparently meaning nocturnum, Bourgoin 2021) and Capsicum sp. (Solanaceae), Brideliamicrantha (Phyllanthaceae) and Coccolobauvifera (Polygonaceae) suggesting that this species is polyphagous (Bonfils et al. 2001, Attié et al. 2008). Bonfils et al. (2001) noted that their specimens were collected in semi-dry secondary vegetation on exotic and native plants located on the northwest and west of the "leeward" region of Réunion, which is similar to the circumstances where this species was found in Hawaii.

The genus Euroxenus (Issinae, Sarimini sensu Wang et al. 2016 and Gnezdilov et al. 2020) was monotypic as described. Gnezdilov (2020) placed the monotypic genus Duplexissus Wang, Zhang & Bourgoin, 2019 (Wang et al. 2019) in synonymy under Euroxenus, but this placement was disputed by Wang et al. (2020) on both morphological and molecular grounds.

Issids are not typically good dispersers (many are sub-brachypterous and flightless) and transport of Euroxenusvayssieresi to Hawaii is most likely by human agency and in association with live plants. This was previously hypothesised as the mode of transport for other issid species (Gnezdilov and O'Brien 2006, Gnezdilov 2009).
