Taxonomic note on two Lyristes cicadas(Hemiptera:Cicadidae) described by E. Schmidt from China

The identity of two Lyristes species described by Schmidt is readdressed based on examination of the type materials. Lyristes wui Schmidt, 1932 is recognized to be a junior synonym of Salvazana mirabilis Distant, 1913, and Lyristes altaiensis Schmidt, 1932 is a junior synonym of a North American species, Neotibicen resh （Haldeman, 1852）. Lyristes altaiensis may have been erroneously recorded from China most possibly due to the mislabeling of the holotype.

动物药残留毛的显微鉴定研究——蝉蜕及其混淆品的鉴别(英文)

目的以动物药残留毛的显微特征为依据,对中药蝉蜕及其易混淆品进行鉴别。方法对黑蚱、蟪蛄、焰螓蝉的干燥蜕壳粉末进行显微制片观察,结合图像测量软件提取刚毛的直径、长度、毛窝直径等显微特征参数,进行比较分析。结果黑蚱、蟪蛄、焰螓蝉的虫体体表刚毛在形态、颜色、直径、长短等方面以及毛窝的形态、颜色、大小等方面均具鉴别特征,并将之汇集成蝉蜕及混淆品的刚毛鉴定检索表。结论利用动物药残留毛的显微特征差异,可以达到蝉蜕真伪鉴别的目的。
