(Figure 6)
Diagnosis. This species differs from other species of the genus in having the apex of the aedeagal shaft distinctly tapered beyond the preapical processes in posterior view and the preapical processes relatively long.
Description. Length of male 3.5 mm. Natural coloration of only available specimen unknown due to DNA extraction from whole body, crown with two pairs of small spots on anterior margin, dorsum otherwise without distinct spots or larger maculae. Crown (Fig. 6B) slightly longer medially than next to eye, shorter than basal width between eyes.
Male pygofer lobe (Fig. 6D) narrowly rounded apically, margin unmodified. Subgenital plate (Fig. 6F) slightly longer than maximum width, lateral margin evenly convex, apex forming slightly acute angle. Style preapical lobe acutely produced, apophysis slender and elongate without preapical angle, with seven rounded preapical teeth (Fig. 6F). Aedeagus in lateral view (Fig. 6G) with dorsal apodeme relatively short and narrow, forming narrowly acute angle with dorsal margin of shaft; shaft relatively broad and very slightly tapered over most of length, more abruptly tapered at level of preapical processes and slightly sinuate distally; shaft in posterior view (Fig. 6H) parallel-sided basally, broadened at level of preapical processes, then tapered toward apex, preapical processes relatively long and strongly divergent from shaft, distal processes very short; gonopore very large, extended slightly basad of bases of preapical processes.
Etymology. The species name refers to the vestigial distal processes of the aedeagus.
Material examined. Holotype male, AUSTRALIA: Northern Territory 76km E of Mataranka on Roper Bar Hwy. 14°54.888’S 133° 42.78’E 77m, 03 Feb 2006 K. Hill, D. Marshall, M. Moulds, coll at light at night (MNT).
Notes. A whole-body DNA extraction procedure was performed on the holotype specimen of this species before it was recognized as a new species. The procedure removed most of the pigment from the exoskeleton such that the natural coloration and wing venation cannot be described. The aedeagus was also broken during the extraction procedure but the parts of the male terminalia are intact and undistorted. DNA sequences from this species are being incorporated into a large-scale phylogenetic analysis of Deltocephalinae (Y. Cao et al., unpublished).

DIAGNOSIS. — Shell of average size for the genus, colourless, semitransparent. Protoconch unknown.Teleoconch tubular, arched, with strong collabral rings. Early teleoconch conical, smooth with rings gradually appearing and increasing in strength during the growth. Adult shell cylindrical, evenly arched. Sculpture of c. 25 strong, rounded rings. Aperture simple, edged by two paired rings. Septum dome-shaped without mucro, sometimes encrusted. Animal described by Vannozzi (2019b). Adult shell length c. 2.5 mm.
REMARKS
A few rather worn specimens were examined, all of them showing unusual septa. One of them shows a unique hemispherical mucro positioned in the middle of the septum. However, the other examined specimens show irregular shapes. Occasionally, the septum in C. vertebrale shows irregular shapes (Pizzini et al. 2013: fig. 8K, M), therefore we attribute no specific value to the peculiar shape shown in Figure 2 E-H.

description: The Arab region, with its global language, shared history, and rich cultural heritage, holds significant potential to advance the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. Particularly in terms of open access to scientific knowledge, the region boasts several platforms for open access journals, numerous institutional repositories, open digital libraries, open books, open educational resources, and open data projects.

Recently, advocacy organizations for open science have emerged in the Arab region, and various regional and national conferences have been held to promote and support open science initiatives. Some policies and regulations governing certain open science practices are also in place.

However, as a developing region, the Arab world faces significant challenges in implementing open science, including limited research funding, underdeveloped infrastructure, and a digital divide between Arab countries. Many researchers still lack sufficient awareness of the open science concept, and there are insufficient incentives for them to publish in open access formats. Moreover, universities and research centers rarely mandate open access to publications and research data. Despite these obstacles, there are also opportunities for growth, particularly through capacity-building initiatives and increasing interest from international organizations in supporting open science initiatives.

Hydrochous metallipes Knisch 1920: 56.
The RBINS kindly provided eighteen syntypes of Hydrochus metallipes Knisch, which are part of the Orchymont/ Knisch types collection. The syntypes consist of both males and females. I have selected one of the males, a specimen in good condition, to serve as lectotype, have labeled it such, and have imaged the habitus, male genitalia and labels of this specimen (Figs. 6, 13A). The seventeen non-lectotype syntypes have been labeled as paralectotypes. Lectotype labels (Fig. 13A): “Bras.Corumba [Matto Grosso] // det. Kniž metallipes m. // Coll. A.Knisch TYPUS // coll. A. d’Orchymont: Hydrochus R.M.H.N.B. 15.962 // TYPE // HABITUS/GENIT. DIGITAL IMAGES captured 2019 P.D. Perkins // [red] LECTOTYPE Hydrochus metallipes Knisch desig. P. D. Perkins // Hydrochus tarsalis Chevrolat, 1863, det. P. D. Perkins, 2019.” The male genitalia of the lectotype of Hydrochus metallipes Knisch 1920 does not differ significantly from the male genitalia of the neotype of Hydrochus tarsalis Chevrolat 1863. H. metallipes is therefore reduced to status of junior synonym of H. tarsalis Chevrolat.
Remarks. Oliva (1992) published a drawing of the male genitalia of, supposedly, H. metallipes. The parameres are depicted as having a more pronounced enlargement of the medial margin than is present in the lectotype, or in all specimens of H. tarsalis for which the male genitalia have been examined. Oliva (1992) did not give the locality data of the specimen that was used to make the drawing.

Chaeteessidae

description: Chaeteessidae and Mantoididae
These two families include small, stout-built, very active species from tropical areas of South, Central and southern North America. Unlike most mantids, species of these families are active hunters that chase their prey (Salazar 2005). This behaviour, along with their plesiomorphic morphology, has led students to consider these families as two of the basal-most extant taxa in Mantodea (Grimaldi 2003; Grimaldi & Engel 2005). Each family includes just one genus: Chaeteessa Burmeister with five species and Mantoida Newman with 11species. These genera have never been reviewed taxonomically and the current taxonomic literature allows the identification of only a handful of species, if any, since most descriptions are old and inaccurate, thus preventing comparative analysis. Only the male genitalia of three species of Mantoida have been described: M. brunneriana (Saussure, 1871), M. argentinae La Greca & Lombardo, 1989 and M. ronderosi La Greca & Lombardo, 1989 (all in La Greca & Lombardo 1989). A rather distinctive species, Mantoida toulgoeti Roy, 2010 was recently described (Roy 2010). There are no useful references for distinguishing among Chaeteessa species, which are all known from only very few specimens.

DISTRIBUTION. — Indonesia (new record), Philippines, northeastern PNG (Vannozzi 2017, 2019b).
DIAGNOSIS. — Shell of average size for the genus, colourless, semitransparent and glossy. Protoconch unknown. Teleoconch tubular, slightly arched, with strong collabral rings. Early teleoconch subcylindrical. Adult shell subcylindrical, slightly arched, tapering toward the apex. Sculpture of rather well-developed rings of uneven width, vanishing in the late teleoconch. Completely smooth specimens occur. Aperture simple, slightly contracted, preceded by a slight swelling. Shallow longitudinal grooves sometimes occur. Septum protruding, convex, with a high dorsal nail-like mucro. The mucro shows a slight hump at half of its height. Animal described by Vannozzi (2019b). Length 2 mm.
REMARKS
Caecum inflatulum is a rather variable species, although the shape of the septum allows easy identification. This species can only be compared with C. attenuatum de Folin, 1880 and C. chinense de Folin, 1868, both of them showing a similar septum. However, the former shows a sculpture of very fine rings and a differently-shaped aperture, while the latter shows a more conical and smooth shell with annular microsculpture (Albano & Pizzini 2011; Vannozzi 2017).

description: Genus Vanitrochus Iredale, 1929
Vanitrochus Iredale, 1929a: 272, 294.
Type species
Solariella tragema Melvill & Standen, 1897 (original designation), Recent, New Caledonia.
Diagnosis
Shell very small (height up to 3.0 mm), elevated turbiniform, whorls rounded or weakly shouldered; sculpture of spiral cords crossed by axial riblets producing fine, regular cancellation; umbilicus open, margin rounded, funicle lacking; outer lip simple, its interior smooth.
Operculum corneous, multispiral, but outer whorls relatively broad and with long growing margin; peripheral fringe broad, with well-developed radial striation; spiral microsculpture distinct.
Rachidian and lateral teeth with laterally rounded, extensively overlapping base-plates; inner marginal tooth transitional, lacking cusp; cusps of marginals 2–5 large, somewhat palmate, with ±5 slender, acuminate denticles, middle one slightly larger.
Remarks
Two species of Vanitrochus occur in New Caledonia. Whilst they are similar, they can be readily distinguished using shell characters (details given below). Vanitrochus tragema is usually found in the more sandy portions of the lagoon nearer to the barrier reef, whereas V. semiustus (Fischer, 1879) is more frequent in muddy and silty environments in the nearshore parts of the lagoon and near mangrove habitats at river mouths. They have not been found alive at the same sampling stations. Both exhibit a strong ‘swimming’ escape response.
Vanitrochus species are infaunal, and are able to burrow rapidly into the soft surface sediment layer. Hickman (2008) documented an undescribed tropical Western Australian Vanitrochus species living in coarse grained skeletal carbonate substrata, feeding by epipsammic browsing on the microbiome coating the sediment grains.
Two species currently referred to Conotalopia Iredale, 1929 may also ultimately prove to belong to Vanitrochus – Conotalopia ornata (G.B. Sowerby III, 1903) and C. singaporensis (Pilsbry, 1889). They show little resemblance to the type species of Conotalopia, Minolia henniana Melvill, 1891 (Fig. 78H–K).

Hydrochus tarsalis Chevrolat 1863: 207.
Hydrochus metallipes Knisch 1920: 56; new synonymy.
Hydrochus tarsalis Chevrolat was described based on a single specimen from Cuba (“ Cuba. D. F. Poëy. Unique – collection de l’auteur”). In 2019, Antoine Mantilleri (MNHN), very kindly did a comprehensive search for the type specimen in the Chevrolat and Bedel collections, and was unable to find it. To establish taxonomic stability regarding this species, a specimen from Cuba, collected by P. J. Darlington, is selected to serve as neotype, and has been labeled such. This specimen is deposited in the MCZ collection. The habitus, male genitalia and pin labels of this specimen have been imaged (Figs. 10, 13D). Neotype labels (Fig. 13D): “Soledad, Cuba (Cienfuegos) June 1929 Darlington // Hydrochus tarsalis Chevr. Det.J.L.Hellman // HABITUS/GENIT. DIGITAL IMAGES captured 2019 P.D. Perkins // [red] NEOTYPE Hydrochus tarsalis Chevrolat desig. P. D. Perkins. ”
Remarks. Hydrochus tarsalis is a large species. Chevrolat (1863) gives the size of the unique type as “long. 4 ½ mill., lat. 1 3/4 mill.” There is only one currently known species of Hydrochus in Cuba that is this large. The external characters, and the male genitalia, of the lectotype of H. metallipes Knisch do not differ significantly from those of the neotype of H. tarsalis. Hydrochus metallipes is therefore hereby placed as a junior synonym.

In this webinar, we will explain the changes to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s open access policy that come into effect from January 2025, including the requirement for all Gates-funded research to be published as a preprint. We will explain what preprints are, why they are valuable, and the ways that preprints can support you to disseminate your research findings quickly and transparently, while promoting unrestricted access and reuse of research funded by the Foundation.  

To support grantees to comply with the revised policy, F1000 partnered with the Foundation to launch VeriXiv in August 2024: a new verified preprint platform that improves research integrity while enabling the rapid availability of research. We will explain how the verified preprint model improves on existing preprint services by introducing robust integrity checks to ensure the trustworthiness of outputs that are disseminated in advance of formal peer review. This will include an introduction to the VeriXiv submissions workflow, the pre-publication checks, and the post-VeriXiv routes for peer review and publication of your version of record article.

Hymenopodidae

description: Hymenopodidae
Only one genus in the subfamily Epaphroditinae occurs in the Neotropics and it is restricted to the Greater Antilles. Epaphrodita Serville contains three species: E. musarum (Beauvois, 1805) and E. lobivertex Lombardo & Perez-Gelabert, 2004 are treated by Lombardo & Perez-Gelabert (2004), and E. undulata (Saussure, 1870) was revalidated by Roy (2005a). General remarks on Epaphrodita can be found in Salazar (2004a). The inclusion of this genus within the Hymenopodidae is questionable.

Dryinus argentinus Olmi, 1984: 846; Virla & Olmi 1998: 25; Olmi 1999: 14; Olmi et al. 2000: 150. Types in AMNH, AEIC, Olmi Collection.
Comments. This species is quite similar to D. striatus (Fenton). Olmi’s key to the neotropical species (1984) separates them based solely on the color of the pronotum. The overall structure of the chela does seem sufficiently distinct from the illustrations provided by Olmi (1984), but is nonetheless somewhat intermediate for the Caxiuanã specimens of these two species. These same specimens show, however, quite distinct and consistent color patterns for each respective species. The degree and consistence of the differences hold even for specimens of each species from the same collecting event, e.g., a couple of females of D. argentinus and D. striatus from the trail at Tijucaquara, 15–18.XI, YPT, one labelled P05036 and the other P05038, which are trail points about 400 m apart from each other. It seems therefore clear that a more in depth investigation might be necessary to safely establish the identity of these two species. Proposing a synonymy might be premature at this time.
For the specimens found at Caxiuanã, D. argentinus differs by showing a light-colored pronotum (vs. dark-colored in D. striatus), stripped metasoma (vs. fully darkened) (best seen with unaided eye), head in frontal view dark brown at the very top, behind and lateral to the posterior ocelli, then mostly light brown, ventrally whitish (Fig. 8) (vs. mostly uniformly dark brown above base of antennae, whitish along eye margin and centrally, generating a Wpattern, Fig. 20); also with a few color pattern differences on the legs (Figs 7, 9 vs. 18, 19).
Also similar to D. guyanensis Olmi, from which it can be separated, as pointed by Olmi (1999), by the antennal segment 3 about 4 × segment 2 (vs. 10 × in D. guyanensis) and about 2 × segment 4 (vs. 3 × in D. guyanensis), and distal part of stigmal vein slightly shorter than proximal part (vs. much longer in D. guyanensis).

Liturgusidae

description: Liturgusidae
This family is a rather distinctive assemblage of highly cryptic, trunk-dwelling, and fast-running species. Three genera of the subfamily Liturgusinae are known in the Neotropics, with Liturgusa Saussure as the most diverse with about 14 species. This genus is in need of urgent revision since the taxonomic literature on this genus is extremely confusing and barely helps to distinguish between species. Hagiomantis Saussure & Zehntner is also in need of revision. It includes six species and most of the literature on these species is old and uninformative. Finally, the mainly Caribbean genus Gonatista Saussure was first reviewed by Caudell (1912), but there is a more recent update by Lombardo & Perez-Gelabert (2004). It includes five species whose relationship to the remaining new world Liturgusidae needs to be re-evaluated.

Diagnosis. Second and first radial cells of similar length. Macrotrichia on wing membrane absent. Male of the species is distinct in having bilobed apex of gonostylus, aedeagus armed with two large, beak-like apicolateral processes, apex of parameres armed with long claw and strong flap, and gonocoxite with lateroventral tubercle in form of two asymmetrical rounded lobes. Female unknown.
Description
Male. Body black, with paler tarsi (Fig. 7f). Flagellum not preserved. Eyes with small mictrotrichia between ommatidia. Third palpal segment 0.070 mm long (Fig. 7d). Wing length 1.30 mm, costal ratio CR 0.55; first and second radial cells of similar length (Fig. 7e). Wing membrane without macrotrichia. Scutellum with 4 strong and 8 short marginal setae. Haltere knob pale with few small setae on apex. Legs slender, hind femur stout (Fig. 7f). Hind tibial spur short. Hind tarsomere 1 with a subbasal spine and a single row of palisade setae. Tarsal ratio TR(1) 1.5, TR(2) 2.0, TR(3) 1.7. Genitalia (Fig. 9). Gonocoxite with bilobed and asymmetrical lateroventral expansion, proximal lobe small (Fig. 9d). Gonostylus slightly curved, with bilobed apex, 0.7 of gonocoxite length (Figs. 9b–c). Parameres stout, apex armed with long claw and a strong flap (Fig. 9e). Aedeagus with low basal arch, armed with two large and beak-like apicolateral processes (Fig. 9f).
Female unknown.
Type material. Holotype male, France, Provence-Alps-French Riviera, Bois de Bouis near Vidauban, Malaise trap, 20.04.2015, P. Withers leg. (CEIG).
Etymology. The species is named in honour of our friend the late Phil Withers who collected the holotype in France.
Distribution. France.
Comments. The peculiar shape of aedeagus, parameres and gonostyles in males of S. withersi makes it impossible to confuse this species with any other currently known member of the genus Schizohelea.

Locality. 8. Eastern shore of the Issyk-Kul’ (Ysyk Köl) Lake, 20 km West of Mikhailovka Village, dry glades in the thickets of sea buckthorn, 21. VII. 2014. Signals of 1 ♂ recorded on disk at 35o C.
References to song. Ragge & Reynolds (1998): recordings from Western Europe; Savitsky (2005): recordings from the Lower Volga Region and Western Kazakhstan (Janybek, ca. 5 km from the Russia border); Savitsky (2009): recordings from Western Kazakhstan (Janybek, ca. 5 km from the Russia border); Tishechkin & Bukhvalova (2009a): recordings from Saratov Oblast, Eastern Siberia, and Primorskiy Kray; Iorgu & Iorgu (2011): recordings from Romania.
Song. The calling song is a single or regularly repeated echeme lasting about 3–4 s and consisting of syllables following each other with a period of about 35–60 ms in our recordings (Figs. 10–11). Each echeme begins quietly and reaches maximum intensity in the second half or near the end. A syllable repetition period gradually increases towards the end of an echeme (Tishechkin & Bukhvalova, 2009b, fig. 83). Typically, syllables do not include distinct gaps (Fig. 12).
Comparative notes. O. haemorrhoidalis is one of the most thoroughly studied gomphocerine species; presently, there are signal recordings from many localities in Europe including European Russia, Western Kazakhstan (Janybek, ca. 5 km from the Russia border), Siberia, and the Russian Far East. Throughout many thousands kilometres of its range the song pattern remains remarkably constant both in general structure and in a syllable repetition period (Tishechkin & Bukhvalova, 2009a, b). Songs of the male from Kyrgyzstan do not differ from these of males from other regions.
