Advances in Legume Systematics 14. Classification of Caesalpinioideae. Part 2: Higher-level classification.

Caesalpinioideae is the second largest subfamily of legumes (Leguminosae) with ca. 4680 species and 163 genera. It is an ecologically and economically important group formed of mostly woody perennials that range from large canopy emergent trees to functionally herbaceous geoxyles, lianas and shrubs, and which has a global distribution, occurring on every continent except Antarctica.

Dilemmas in generic delimitation of and allies (Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade): how to reconcile phylogenomic evidence with morphology and taxonomy?

comprises 219 species distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. Two sections are currently recognised within and these are most readily distinguished by the differences in disposition of their cauline prickles, i.e.

A new species of Hartig, 1840 (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae) from China, with references to DNA taxonomy and infection.

In the present paper, a new species of cynipid gall wasp, Liu & Pang, is described from several provinces in southern China. The new species is closely related to the recently redescribed (Kieffer, 1906). In addition to differences in adult and gall morphology, the new species is also readily separated by COI sequences, with a 6.

A new species of Foerster, 1869 from China and review of the tribe Diastrophini (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Cynipidae).

A new species of cynipid gall wasps, Pang, Liu & Zhu, , is herein described from Hunan, China in the tribe Diastrophini (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Cynipidae). The phylogenetic relationship between and all the other Diastrophini genera, except the recently described Pujade-Villar et al., 2019, was analyzed using a fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene and a fragment of the nuclear 28S gene.

(Capparaceae), a new species from central Vietnam.

Sy & D.V. Hai, a new species from Kbang District, Gia Lai Province, Vietnam, is described and illustrated.
