Oedothorax

description: Oedothorax Bertkau in Förster & Bertkau, 1883
The genus has an almost cosmopolitan distribution and is represented in the Palaearctic by 44 species, in the Afrotropics by 10, in the Oriental by nine, and in the Nearctic by seven species (based mostly on the World Spider Catalogue, 2016). A single record of an Oedothorax species from the Neotropics, i.e. O. fuegianus (Simon, 1902), which was described from Argentina on the basis on a single female (Simon, 1902), is regarded as a misidentification (see Miller, 2007).
In the following, I present a new Oedothorax species from the Indian Himalayas. This species is very similar to an Afrotropical congener, known from the Comoros, and, like Enguterothrix simpulum (see above), demonstrates close relations between Afrotropical and Oriental linyphiid faunas.

Nasoonaria magna Tanasevitch, 2014: 406, figs 52-57.
Nasoonaria circinata Zhao & Li, 2014: 32, figs 58-61, syn. nov.
Remarks: Nasoonaria circinata Zhao & Li, 2014, was described from specimens of both sexes from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, People’s Republic of China, the territory bordering Myanmar and Laos (Zhao & Li, 2014). Nasoonaria magna is based on a male from the Khao Yai National Park, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand (Tanasevitch, 2014). A comparison of the N. magna holotype with splendid figures and photos of N. circinata, published by Zhao & Li (2014: figs 58-61), does not leave any doubt that these two names refer to the same species. In addition, I subsequently found in the MHNG a Nasoonaria female from the type locality of N. magna. Judging from the drawings and photos of Zhao & Li (2014: figs 60A-C), this is a female of N. magna.
The description of N. magna was published on 2.XII. 2014 in the journal “Arthropoda Selecta”, volume 23, number 4, and on the same day a pdf of the paper was placed on the Internet for free access (see http://arthropodaselecta.britishspiders.org.uk/index. php?idxtype=vol&idxvalue=23). The description of N. circinata was published two days later, on 4.XII. 2014 in ZooKeys, number 460 (see http://zookeys.pensoft. net/articles.php?id=4296), thus the name N. magna has priority over N. circinata.

Remarks: Theoabidentata Zhao& Li, 2014 wasdescribed from specimens of both sexes from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, People’s Republic of China, and according to the detailed figures and photos provided by Zhao & Li (2014) it is conspecific with T. elegans Tanasevitch, 2014, known from a male from Doi Tung, Chiang Rai Province, situated in the extreme north of Thailand (Tanasevitch, 2014). As in the case of N. circinata (see above), the description of T. elegans was published two days earlier than that of T. bidentata. Therefore T. elegans has priority over T. bidentata.

Type species. Cladorhiza abyssicola Sars, 1872: 65.
Diagnosis. Carnivorous sponges that have adapted to feeding on small, typically crustacean, prey. Adaptations to carnivory include partial or complete reduction of the aquiferous system, erect habit with radiating processes with either a basal disc or root (rhizoid) processes for anchoring in soft sediment. Axial or abaxial skeleton composed of monactinal or diactinal megascleres, from which extend extra-axial branches. Microscleres include palmate, arcuate and anchorate (an)isochelae and their derivatives, including placochelae and cercichelae; sigmas, forceps or micro(subtylo)styles (microspined, and also spear-shaped in a few cases), and trochirhabds (from Hestetun et al. 2016).

description: Takagioma rostra Qin and Huang sp. nov.
(Figures 5–8, 32–39)
Measurement. Male, 2.50–2.72mm (including wing).
Description. Body yellowish with whitish stripe thin on vertex; eyes gray; pronotum with a brown triangle patch centrally; scutum and scutellum ochraceous. Face brown with apical margin beige and deepen downward. Forewing infuscate with white stripe broader than in other species, veins yellowish; hind wing with CuA branched.
Abdominal apodeme weakly developed (Fig. 36). Pygofer hook extremely long in dorsal view and extending caudad (Fig. 32). Subgenital plate triangular with 4 macrosetae (Fig. 35). Paramere slender with both ends acuminate, central part with airfoil-like lobe (Fig 39). Connective with central lobe well developed and extended obviously beyond lateral feet. Aedeagal shaft stout and slightly arched in lateral view with abruptly narrowed apex; dorsoatrium developed (Figs 37, 38).
Examined type materials. Holotype: Male, CHINA, Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna, 100.90°E, 22.03°N, 8 July 2017, coll. Weijian Huang. Paratype: 2 Male, collect data same as holotype.
Notes. The new species is similar to Takagioma silvicola Dworakowska, 1993 in the aedeagus, but can be distinguished from the latter by the relatively thick aedeagal shaft and extremally long pygofer hook.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from Latin prefix “ rostr- ”, which refers to the resemblance of the aedeagal shaft apex to the bill of a bird.

1960 Pteraspis carmani Denison: 568, figs 124 — 141.

Diagnosis. As for ‘ Pteraspis’ carmani in Denison (1960).
Remarks. Phylogenetic analyses placed Zascinaspis heintzi and Z. carmani at different places in the tree (Figs 4 — 6), indicating they do not belong within the same genus. Blieck (1984) assigned ‘ P.’ carmani to Zascinaspis due to similarities in the proportions of the rostral and dorsal plates and the orbito-pineal belt, as well as shared oral region arrangement. In our analysis, ‘ Z.’ carmani falls within the Protaspididae as sister taxon to Lampraspis (both recovered from western USA localities). Lampraspis carmani also shares with protaspids an ornamentation of undulating ridges and a branchial opening placed towards the posterior end of the dorsal plate, with reduced cornual plates.

Measurement. Male, 3.67–3.93mm (including wings).
Description. Body ochraceous with whitish stripe thin on vertex; eyes gray; pronotum, scutum and scutellum yellowish, pronotum with triangular brown patch centrally. Face brown with apical margin ochraceous. Forewing yellowish in basal 4/5, with irregularly brownish smoky patch on apical cell, hind wing with CuA branched.
Abdominal apodeme reaching 4th abdominal sternite (Fig.56). Pygofer hook short and strongly curved laterad (Fig. 50). Subgenital plate broad at base with apical 1/3 widen and folded dorsad, with 4 macrosetae and some rigid microsetae laterally near base and numerous microsetae apically and laterally on folded part (Figs 52, 53). Paramere long and gradually narrowing distally with both ends nearly equal length, central part expanded (Fig. 54). Connective with central lobe developed and extended beyond lateral feet. Aedeagal shaft slender and straight; dorsoatrium straight in lateral view (Figs 54, 55).
Examined type materials. Holotype: Male, CHINA, Yunnan Province, Menglun, 101.28°E, 21.92°N, 9 July 1999, coll. Irena Dworakowska. Paratype: 2 Males, same data as holotype. 4 Males, Yunnan Province, Xishuangbanna, 100.91°E, 22.01°N, 8 July 2017, coll. Weijian Huang.
Notes. The new species is similar to Takagioma gladius sp. nov in body coloration and the shape of aedeagus, but can be distinguished by the curved pygofer hook, centrally widened paramere and the narrow base of aedeagus.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from Latin adjective “ curvatus ”, which means “curved”, referring to the strongly curved pygofer hook.

I spent three days at a leadership course. These are the most helpful takeaways.

Be positive, very positive, in your feedback.

Don’t be prickly, be receptive to feedback.

Promote vertical adult-to-adult interactions.

Be honest and transparent.

Be specific when giving credit.

Don’t sweep issues under the rug.

Understand what motivates you.

Ask for volunteers when delegating tasks.

Implement postmortem discussions.

Beware of your biases.

Be aware of the "stacked deck" feeling.

Don’t be a bystander: do something.
