A PHYLOGENETIC MORPHOMETRIC INVESTIGATION OF INTERSPECIFIC RELATIONSHIPS OF LYPONIA S. STR. (COLEOPTERA, LYCIDAE) BASED ON MALE GENITALIA SHAPES

A Phylogenetic Morphometric Investigation of Interspecific Relationships of Lyponia s. str. (Coleoptera, Lycidae) Based on Male Genitalia Shapes

The nominate subgenus Lyponia Waterhouse, 1878 from China is reviewed, with two new species described and named L.(s.str.) ruficeps sp.n.(China, Yunnan) Lip Crayon and L.(s.str.) zayuana sp.n.(China, Xizang).A distribution map and a key to all species of Lyponia s.str.are provided.Moreover, the phenotypic relationships among the species of Lyponia

cis-Aquadichlorido[pyrimidin-2(1H)-one-κN3]copper(II)

In Carbon Steel TIG Rod the title compound, [CuCl2(C4H4N2O)(H2O)], the CuII cation is coordinated by two chloride anions, one pyrimidin-2-one N atom and one water molecule, giving a slightly distorted square-planar geometry.In the crystal structure, the pyrimidin-2-one rings stack along the b axis, with an interplanar distance of 3.306 Å
