Pheidole speculifera

description: P. speculifera group:
Medium to large species (minor worker HW: 0.52–0.81 mm, n=26), the minor workers characterized by large relatively long appendages (SI: 111–123), and both worker subcastes with large postpetiole that is 2–3 times wider than long. Minor workers: long antennal scapes, surpassing the posterior head margin by about ¼ of their length. Posterior head margin compressed, weakly rounded [prelli complex] to evenly rounded [crassinoda, speculifera]. Postpetiole large and voluminous, as long as [prelli complex] or longer [crassinoda, speculifera] than petiole and more than twice as wide. Pilosity moderately abundant, either short and stout, with blunt or split apices [crassinoda, prelli] or longer and flexous [speculifera]. Major workers: head either massive and thick, with sculpture variable, frontal carinae & antennal scrobes absent, inner hypostomal teeth strongly reduced and median tooth absent [speculifera complex] or head less massive, with strong longitudinal and transverse rugose-punctate sculpture, long, curved and broadly extended frontal carinae, inner hypostomal teeth and median tooth present and conspicuous [prelli complex]. Spines thick and short, almost lobate. Postpetiole very massive, in dorsal view about 2–3 times wider than petiole, with a conspicuously spiked lateral process. The group can be subdivided into prelli complex and speculifera complex, the former with slightly smaller species (minor worker HW: 0.52–0.56 mm, n=5), which possess relatively large eyes (EI: 31–33) (Pheidole caffra Emery, P. caffra abyssinica Forel, P. caffra amoena Forel, P. caffra bayeri Forel, P. caffra montivaga Santschi, P. caffra senilifrons Wheeler, P. prelli Forel, P. p re l l i ingenita Santschi, P. prelli redbankensis Forel). The speculifera complex includes slightly to considerably larger species (minor worker HW: 0.60–0.81 mm, n=21) with smaller eyes (EI: 22–28) (P. crassinoda Emery, P. crassinoda pluto Arnold, P. crassinoda ruspolii Emery, P. crassinoda sordidula Santschi, P. occipitalis André, P. occipitalis adami Santschi, P. occipitalis neutralis Santschi, P. speculifera Emery, P. s p e c u l i f e r a ascara Emery, P. speculifera bispecula Santschi, P. s p ec u li fe r a cubangensis Forel). New material and undescribed species from different localities can be found in the collections of BMNH, CASC and ZFMK.

Gammarus anodon Stock, Mirzajani, Vonk, Naderi & Kiabi, 1998: 184 –189, Figs. 6–9.
Locus typicus. Hasheelan wetland, Kermanshah Province, (34º28'N, 47º00'E).
Material examined. Paratypes from locus typicus, (ZMA Crust. Amph. 201928).
Distribution. Endemic species, restricted to the type locality in Kermanshah province, north-west Zagros (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. No information available.
Taxonomic remarks. The special structure of urosomites 1 and 2, which are strongly elevated and compressed on mid-dorsal (Stock et al., 1998, Fig. 6b), makes it very easy to distinguish this species among other Iranian Gammarids. In addition, setae on posterior margin of carpus and merus in pereopod 3 (ibid., Figs. 8a,c) are much shorter than in other species.

Gammarus bakhteyaricus Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2004: 2435 –2440, Figs. 5–7; Ebrahimnezhad, Hosseini & Sari, 2005: 225, Fig. 5.
Locus typicus. Chaghakhor, Chaharmahal Va Bakhtyari Province, (31º55'N, 50º55'E).
Material examined. Holotype, 6 August 2000 (ZUTC Amph. 2030). Paratypes, Bizhgerd spring, Chaharmahal Va Bakhtyari Province (31º47'N, 51º10'E) (ZUTC Amph. 2032).
Distribution. Endemic, restricted to localities in central Zagros: Chaharmahal Va Bakhtyari Province (Khalaji- Pirbalouty & Sari, 2004) and Esfahan (Ebrahimnezhad et al., 2005) provinces (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. Habitats in high altitudes (2300 m asl) with slow water current are inhabited by this species.
Taxonomic remarks. This species is characterized by presence of 2–3 tiny spines (or “short robust setae”) on distal-ventral corner of first peduncle segment of antenna 1 (Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2004, Fig. 5). Similar feature can only be observed in G. shirazinus, although only 1–2 spines are present in this species (Zamanpoore et al., 2010a, Fig. 2). Apart of that, the two species have many differentiating features; most important of them is very long setation of antenna 2 and pereopod 5–7 in G. shirazinus if compared to the former species (ibid., Figs. 2, 4). Gammarus bakhteyaricus may also be confused with G. pseudosyriacus and G. lacustris, however in the latter two species, there are no spines on distal-ventral corner of first peduncle segment of antenna 1.

description: Gammarus baloutchi Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2006
Gammarus baloutchi Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2006: 91 –99, Figs. 1 –4.
Locus typicus. Atashgahe Lordegan fall, Chaharmahal Va Bakhteyari Province (31º14'N, 51º00'E).
Material examined. Holotype, 8 August 2001 (ZUTC Amph. 2070); paratypes, (ZMA Crust. Amph. 204658).
Distribution. Endemic species with the only known record from a waterfall in central Zagros (Fig. 1).
Ecologic notes. The species lives in high mountains of ca. 2100 m asl. It was found under aquatic vegetation and in a gravel bed (Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2006).
Taxonomic remarks. Among Iranian Gammarus species, the short endopodite of uropod 3 can only be observed in G. baloutchi, G. l o b i f e r, and G. sepidannus. The first species can be distinguished from G. lobifer by the lack of the sub-angular setae on basis of pereopod 7 (Khalaji-Pirbalouty and Sari, 2006, Fig. 3), shorter antennal gland cone, and longer setation of peduncle segments of antenna 2 (ibid. Fig. 1). From G. sepidannus it differs by having a long eye, less setose flagellum of antenna 2, and shorter antennal gland cone (ibid. Fig. 1).

Gammarus hegmatanensis Hekmatara, Sari & Heidari Baladehi, 2011: 40 –49, Figs. 2–7.
Locus typicus. Gardaneh Asadabad spring (N 34º 49ʹ, E 48º 0 4ʹ), W of Hamadan city, Hamadan Province, Iran.
Material examined. Paratypes. (ZUTC Amph. 2238), September 2008, leg. M. Hekmatara.
Distribution. The species was found in a small area of northern Zagros, west and north-west from the city of Hamadan.
Ecological notes. Although no ecological data were recorded, the region lying in altitudes of 1677–2109 m asl, has relatively cold and harsh climate.
Taxonomic remarks. Sharply pointed and extended posterior corner of epimeral plate 3 with a distinctly lobate anterior corner make G. hegmatanensis easy to distinguish from all other species. Only G. lordeganensis Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2004 has similar features, however it differs from G. hegmatanensis by having much less setose antenna 2 and lobate posterodistal corner of pereopods 6–7. Gammarus hegmatanensis is also similar to G. shirazinus and G. loeffleri in having highly setose antenna 2. However, both latter species display dense setation in pereopod 3–7, in contrast to lack of such setation in G. hegmatanensis.

Gammarus crinicaudatus (Stock et al., 1998: 189 –195, Figs. 10–12), misidentified.
Locus typicus. Village Belovo near Pazardzhik (Pazardzhik province), Bulgaria.
Material examined. Many Specimens, Shahrestanak (36º08'N, 51º20'E), Tehran Province, 1995, (ZMA Crust. Amph. #?); many specimens, Gardane ye Cheri, May 2001 (32º10'N, 50º14'E) (ZUTC Amph. 2080); new material: three specimens, Hablerood river, Firuzkuh, September 2000 (35º45'N, 52º46'E) (FAIC 111289); many specimens, Amanabad, Mash'had (36˚10ʹN, 59˚40ʹE) (FAIC 111288).
Distribution. This species is widely distributed in fresh running waters in Iran, most frequently along a northwest-northeast axis in northern skirts of Alborz (Elburz) Mountains (Stock et al., 1998; Alizade-Eghtedar & Sari, 2007). Some populations are reaching southwards to the northern margins of Zagros (Stock et al., 1998; Ebrahimnezhad et al., 2005; Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2006) (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. The species lives in habitats with slow water current and dense aquatic vegetation (Karaman & Pinkster, 1977) having cold water (ca. 12ºC), at higher elevations (above 2200 m asl) (Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2004). Population from Amanabad inhabits a spring with water temperatures from 8 to 18ºC.
Taxonomic remarks. Long setae on antenna 2 can be a source of confusion in differentiating of G. komareki from few Iranian species. In G. komareki the setation is more dense and distally curved (Karaman & Pinkster, 1977, Fig. 33D) if compared to G. crinicaudatus. In the latter species pereopod 4 and uropod 3 (ibid. Figs. 33 O, K) are more setose than in G. komareki. Setation of antennae 2 in G. pretzmanni is dense and highly curled (Mateus & Mateus, 1990, Fig. 2C), but the species has very short setae (shorter than the spines) on anterior margin of pereopod 7. In G. parthicus anterior margin of pereopod 7 is bare as well (Stock et al., 1998, Fig. 15c). Gammarus loeffleri, in contrast, has much longer setae on anterior of pereopod 7 (Zamanpoore et al., 2010a, Fig. 9C) than G. komareki.

Gammarus lacustris G. O. Sars, 1863: 207; Stock, Mirzajani, Vonk, Naderi & Kiabi, 1998: 206.
Locus typicus. Selsvand, Vage, Norway (based on the assumption made by Karaman & Pinkster, 1977).
Material examined. Karaman & Pinkster, 1977: 32–34, Fig. 12A–D, drawn upon new material from Loch Loyal, Scotland.
Additional specimens (new material), Ne'ur Lake (38º 02', 48º 36'), Ardebil Province, (FAIC #?).
Distribution. Distribution of this species in Iran is restricted to the far north west of the country, a very big population in Ne'ur Lake, and several populations in the west Alborz (Stock et al., 1998; Alizade-Eghtedar & Sari, 2007) (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. Although inhabiting running waters in some occasions, this species is generally found in stagnant waters and lakes (e.g. mountain and glacier) with temperatures lower than 20ºC (detailed ecological characteristics in Karaman & Pinkster 1977, p. 34).
Taxonomic remarks. Among Iranian gammarids, G. lacustris is most similar to G. pseudosyriacus. However, the latter has an elevated dorsal surface of urosome, compared to not elevated urosome in G. lacustris (Karaman & Pinkster 1977, Fig. 12H). G. bakhteyaricus shows similarities to G. lacustris, from which it differs with the urosome elevation, slender basis of pereopod 7 and, most important, having 2–3 tiny spines on ventral-distal corner of the first peduncle segment in antenna 1. G. lacustris is also similar to G. lordeganensis in having non-setose pereopods 5–7 and antenna 2. However, there are characters well enough for allowing to recognise these species. These include, in the latter species, the acuminate postero-inferior of epimeral plates 2 and 3, non-plumose setae on outer margin of exopodite in uropod 3, and shorter antennal gland cone.

Gammarus lobifer Stock, Mirzajani, Vonk, Naderi & Kiabi, 1998: 210 –215, Figs. 24–27.
Locus typicus. Yasooj, (30º40'N, 51º30'E), Zagros Region, Kohgiluye Va Buierahmad Province.
Material examined. Specimens from Sheshpeer spring, (30º15'N, 52º03'E) (ZMA Crust. Amph. 202031).
Distribution. This species seems to be endemic to a limited area in lower central Zagros, in three locations including locus typicus and two other in north-west and south-east of it (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. The original description lacks any ecological data. However, the locality lies in a mountainous region with hundreds of cold springs.
Taxonomic remarks. Individuals from the Sheshpeer spring possess all the described features of the typus except for the postero-distal corner setae on pereopod 7 basis. Among Iranian gammarids this species is most close to G. baloutchi and G. sepidannus, however G. lobifer bears short setae in peduncle segments 4 and 5 of antenna 2 (Stock et al., 1998, Fig. 24d), versus long setae in the two other species. Dorsal surface of urosomites in G. lobifer is slightly elevated (ibid., Fig. 24i) compared to flat urosome surface in both G. baloutchi and G. sepidannus. In addition, antennal gland cone is long in G. lobifer, while it is short in G. b a l o u t c h i.

Gammarus lordeganensis Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2004: 2430 –2435, Figs. 2–4.
Locus typicus. Barme-Lordegan Spring (31˚30ʹN, 50˚49ʹE), Lordegan, Chaharmahal Va Bakhtyari province.
Material examined. Holotype and paratypes, Aug. 2000 (ZUTC amph. 2060).
Distribution. Apparently an endemic species, reported so far from only two springs (31˚34ʹN, 51˚13ʹE) in central Zagros (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. This species is found exclusively in mountain springs at ca. 1600 m asl with temperatures of ca. 12ºC.
Taxonomic remarks. There are several similarities between this species and G. pseudosyriacus, especially in setation of all body parts, but with presence of the flat dorsal surface of urosomites one can distinguish G. lordeganensis from the latter species. G. lordeganensis is also very similar to G. lacustris, however it differs from the latter with first coxal plate in gnathopod 1 extended antero-distally (Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2004, Fig. 3 GN1) and with more dense setation of uropod 3 (ibid., Fig. 2 U3).

Locus typicus. Ghoree-Gol wetland (37˚26ʹN, 46˚40ʹE), Tabriz, East Azarbaijan Province.
Material examined. Six female paratypes (ZMA Crust. Amph. 201952).
Distribution. An endemic species found in only one locality – Goree-Gol wetlands in west Alborz (Fig. 1) (Stock et al., 1998; Alizade-Eghtedar & Sari, 2007).
Ecological notes. No ecological data available.
Taxonomic remarks. Described based on only female holotype and paratypes, this species is clearly recognizable from other Iranian gammarids, especially upon the crenulate and setose postero-dorsal margin of its pleosomites (Stock et al. 1998, Fig. 21b), unique pattern of antenna 2 setation (scarce but long setae on peduncle segments 4 and 5 – longer than the width of the segments, short setae on the flagellum), and long antennal gland cone – longer than the length of the third peduncle segment (ibid., Fig. 21D).

Distribution. First record (locus typicus) of this species was from the central Iranian basin, in northern Central Zagros, but recent sampling done by the first author revealed its presence also in the far eastern Alborz localities (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. Sample from Meshkinshahr was collected in a spring with water temperature of 13ºC and pH of 7.
Taxonomic remarks. The most conspicuous feature of this species – dense long setae on peduncles and flagellum of antenna 2 (much longer than what is drawn in the original description), makes it close to G. pretzmanni and G. komareki. However, presence of 1–2 tiny spines in postero-distal corner of basis in pereopod 7 (Stock et al. 1998, Fig. 15c) makes it easy to distinguish G. parthicus from G. komareki (such spines are present also in G. p re t z - manni). In addition, anterior margins of carpal and meral segments of pereopods are bare in G. parthicus (ibid.), vs. having setae in G. komareki. Setae of both peduncles and flagellum on antenna 2 are highly curled in G. pretzmanni, while in G. parthicus they are slightly curved distally only on the flagellum (ibid., Fig. 13e), such setation pattern can also be seen on pereopod 3 (ibid., Fig. 14e). Moreover, dorsal side of antenna 2 peduncle is almost free of setae in G. parthicus (ibid., Fig. 13e), while in G. pretzmanni the setae are present in dense groups also on the dorsal surface.

Locus typicus. 43 km W of Arak (34˚02ʹN, 49˚22ʹE), Markazi Province. Material examined. Holotype and paratypes, Markazi Province (34˚02ʹN, 49˚22ʹE) (NHMW Amphipoda 4871).
Holotype and paratypes of G. projectus Sarabe Abbasabad, Shahzand, Markazi Province (33˚55ʹN, 49˚30ʹE) (ZMA Crust. Amph. 201376).
Distribution. This species was reported from the inside and from eastern outskirts of upper and central Zagros mountains, in different localities (Mateus & Mateus, 1990; Stock et al., 1998; Khalaji-Pirbalouty & Sari, 2004; Ebrahimnezhad et al., 2005) (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. No ecological data is available.
Taxonomic remarks. Originally described by Mateus and Mateus (1990), this taxon was overlooked by most amphipod researchers, even the publication itself was not mentioned in any of the subsequent studies upon gammarids. Examined type material of this species was absolutely identical to that of G. projectus. Thus, Gammarus projectus is a junior synonym of G. pretzmanni. Loci typici of both species are localities on the same river, very close to each other, what makes our statement even more obvious.
This species is very close to G. komareki and G. parthicus, but the state of highly curled setae on dorsal and ventral of antenna 2 (Mateus & Mateus, 1990, Fig. 2c) characterizes it among other species. See also Taxonomic remarks on G. p a r t h i c u s and G. komareki.

Gammarus sirvannus Hekmatara, Sari & Heidari Baladehi, 2011: 49 –56, Figs. 8–13.
Locus typicus. Sirvan River-Paveh branch (N 35º 0 7ʹ, E 46º 15ʹ), 25 Km west of Paveh city, Kermanshah province, Iran.
Material examined. Paratypes, September 2008, leg. M. Hekmatara (ZUTC amph. 2251).
Distribution. This species was found only in locus typicus in north-west of the Zagros, in western Iran.
Ecological notes. This cold mountainous region lies at an altitude of ca. 700 m asl.
Taxonomic remarks. Long setation of antenna 2 makes G. sirvannus resembling a few other species present in the same region. However, in G. komareki, such setae are slightly curled, it has small eyes, lacks the distinctly projecting postero-distal corner lobe in bases of pereopods 6–7, and has few short setae on pereopod 5–7. Elongated eyes and setation of antenna 2 make G. sirvannus similar to G. loeffleri and to G. shirazinus, but the latter differ with highly setose pereopod 3–7. G. parthicus may be obviously told apart from G. sirvannus by the small eyes and lack of distinct projection in postero-distal corner of pereopod 6–7 bases in the former species. In a detailed examination, presence of a single long seta on the first article of mandible palp is a deciding criterion to differentiate G. sirvannus from all the other similar species.

Gammarus zagrosensis Zamanpoore, Poeckl, Grabowski & Schiemer, 2009: 23 –31, Figs. 2–5. Gammarus syriacus (Stock et al., 1998: 206), misidentified.
Locus typicus. Vezge-Morad spring (30°13´N, 51°58´E), S of Sepidan, Fars Province.
Material examined. Holotype (ZMA Crust. Amph. 206052). Paratypes: Khani Varg spring, 4 km S of Sepidan (30°12´N, 51°59´E) (FAIC 111053 -1); Baraghan spring, 5 km SE of Sepidan (30°15´N, 51°59´E) (FAIC 111238, FAIC 111239); Sheshpeer (spring brook), 10 km SE of Sepidan (30°15´N, 52°03´E) (FAIC 111105 -1). Misidentified as G. syriacus. Non-type specimens, Borghan (Baraghan) spring, (30°15´N, 51°59´E) (ZMA Crust. Amph. #?).
Distribution. An endemic species, inhabiting almost the same geographic area in the lower Central Zagros as G. sepidannus (Fig. 1).
Ecological notes. Gammarus zagrosensis is sympatric with G. sepidannus, so ecological features of their habitats are mostly similar. In the montane (1991 – 2350 m asl, Mean = 2196 m, SD = 85) and cold region of lower Central Zagros, the water temperature measured from 10 to 13ºC over the year (Mean = 12 ºC, SD = 0.8), with electric conductivities of 180 – 410 μS/cm (Mean = 249 μS/cm, SD = 61).
Taxonomic remarks. With the relatively short setation of pereopod 5–7, the species might seem similar to G. syriacus, but features quite clearly separating it from the latter species include: long setae on inferior margin of epimeral plates 1–3 (Zamanpoore et al., 2009, Fig. 4E), slightly pointed epimeral plates 2 and 3 (ibid.), long setae in postero-distal corner of pereopod 6 and 7 (ibid., Figs. 4A–C), longer antennal gland cone (ibid., Fig. 2C).
Misidentifications. See relevant section under G. pseudosyriacus.

description: Sperosoma Koehler, 1897
Type species: Sperosoma grimaldii Koehler, 1897, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Sperosomatinae with primary ambulacral plates of the oral side divided into two parts separated by the secondary plates, the inner part non-poriferous (emended from Fell 1966).
Remarks. Of the eleven known species of Sperosoma (Table 1), the descriptions of six were based on a single specimen, and of the remaining five only one, S. grimaldii, was known from more than the type material at the time of the most recent review of the genus (Mortensen 1935). Unlike many other echinothurioid genera, the pedicellariae of Sperosoma are relatively similar between species and usually of secondary diagnostic value, with reliance instead mainly on differences in coronal plate architecture, particularly in the aboral ambulacra. A more recent examination of the aboral plating of Sperosoma species (Mooi et al. 2004) has shown that some of these apparent differences were based on post-mortem fractures misinterpreted as plate boundaries. A full review of the genus is needed to confirm the validity of each species, but sufficient material is still lacking. The two Australasian species reported below do not appear substantially different from descriptions of existing species, and therefore further confusion is avoided by not establishing any new species here.

Diagnosis. Sperosomatinae with pores on oral surface arranged in more or less single series. Test plates extremely brittle. Buccal sacs, if present, rudimentary only (emended from Fell 1966).
Remarks. There are 6 assigned species, all Recent (Table 4). The fragility of the Tromikosoma test invariably leads to breaking up of the test plates into small fragments, (possibly before as well as after capture, Mortensen 1935) making delineation of plate boundaries extremely difficult.

Gnopharmia maculifera afghanistana Wiltshire, 1967, p. 157, pl. 2, fig. 16; pl. 14, fig. 58. Holotype 3 (by monotypy), SMNK (examined). Type locality: Pul-i-chomri, N. Afghanistan. Gnopharmia maculifera afghanistana: Parsons et al., 1999: 406.
Type material examined. Gnopharmia maculifera afghanistana, Holotype 3, ‘N Afghanistan | Pul-i-chomri | 28.6.1956 | H. G. Amsel. leg., 700 m’, ‘ Gnopharmia maculifera Stgr. afghanistana Wilts., Holotype’, ‘preparation WM.108’, in SMNK.
Description. The single male specimen (holotype) quite agrees with the ‘ maculifera ’-form of cocandaria, though it is smaller and the wings are a little shorter. The specimen is worn. Other external characters and genitalia also agree with those of cocandaria. Wiltshire mentions “several slight differences” without indicating them clearly. The under side cell spots are said to be absent, but they are present, though weak (see fig. 12).
Taxonomic note. Wiltshire (1967: 157) admitted that “the differences may be only an individual variation” and “describing the Afghan form as a distinct race....may prove to be illusory”. No further material has been collected from the type locality, so we are still unable to confirm or reject the validity of a separate race afghanistana.
Life history and habitat. Preimaginal stages and biology unknown. The holotype has been collected in the end of June, at an elevation of 700 m.
Distribution (Map 2). N. Afghanistan. Only known from the type locality.
