Chondrostoma

description: [[Chondrostoma Agassiz]]
The genus Chondrostoma s.l. is composed of small to medium-sized cyprinid fishes distributed in the northern Mediterranean drainages across Europe, western Asia and the Middle East (Mathias 1921; Elvira 1987, 1991, 1997). The genus is particularly diversified in the Iberian Peninsula, where over one-third of the known species is found. Its members can be split into seven species groups defined from molecular phylogenies (Doadrio & Carmona 2004) and include Iberian bladeless species (i.e., species that do not have a horny blade on the lower lip) that had been sometimes included in the genus Rutilus (Coelho et al. 1997; Zardoya & Doadrio 1998). Recently, based on congruence between molecular and morphological characters, Robalo et al. (2007) proposed Chondrostoma be restricted to the nasus- and soetta-species groups, while the arcasii-, genei-, lemmingii-, polylepis- and toxostoma-species groups be elevated to the generic level.

Notaulax

description: Genus Notaulax Tauber, 1879
Remarks. Worms are mostly associated with coral (live and dead) or limestone, although in this study two species were found as foulers in marinas and ports from some localities in South America. The tubes have a tree trunk or leathery appearance with several gold, green olive or brown colored thin layers, from where entire worms are often hard to extract. Chemical composition of tubes has not been studied in Notaulax.
Notaulax is composed of 20 species (Capa et al. 2014). Among the nominal species, only one has been described from South America: N. tilosaula (Schmarda, 1861) n. comb (described as Sabella Linnaeus, 1767, and here is transferred to the genus Notaulax). Notaulax christenseni (Augener, 1932) was described from Adelaide Island, Antarctica, at 620 m depth; Giangrande & Gambi (1997) examined the holotype (ZMO, C547) and revealed that it probably belongs to Notaulax. Unfortunately, Augener (1932) did not illustrate any structures and his description does not include diagnostic features. Thus, the reexamination of types is needed in order to corroborate the genus identity of Augener’s species.
The genus was partially studied by Perkins (1984), but a worldwide revision is required, since many of the original descriptions are incomplete and lack illustrations. In Notaulax, the length of basal lamina, shape of dorsal and ventral flanges, length of palmate membrane, number and distribution of lensed eyespots, and presence of interramal abdominal eyespots (see remarks below for N. tilosaula) are useful features to compare among species, in addition to chaetal structures. Here, N. tilosaula is transferred to the genus Notaulax and redescribed from Valparaiso (Chile), and a new species is described from Puerto Deseado (Argentina).

Zipyge ferruginipes (Chamberlin 1922), Chamberlin 1925. Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. 38:40.
Type material examined: Male holotype from Guatemala, Cacao, coll. O.F. Cook, April 1906 (deposited in the United States National Museum, Smithsonian).
Additional material examined from near type locality: Male from Guatemala, Dept. Izabal, Finca Las Ilusiones (along Highway CA9), 26.8 km bearing 220 true N from Puerto Barrios, elev. 95 m, coll. J. Bond, 4 June 2000 (deposited in the Field Museum of Natural History).
Male holotype: Color of preserved material badly faded, head, antennae, and collum very light yellowish brown (Fig. 7). Collum slightly darker with lighter margins. All other segments distinctly banded. Prozonite light cream color, metazonite dark brown with light cream colored posterior margin. Chamberlin (1922) described the coloration of this specimen as “olive black, running into brown” with ferruginous legs.
Antennae with 4 sensory cones, flattened laterally, incrassate distally. 10–10 labral setae, clypeal groove dark and distinct, 26 ocelli. Width 3.77 (collum), 4.43 (midbody), 3.89 (45), 50 ring segments. Distinct scobinae on segments ~7–46, diminishing in size posteriorly. Tarsi lacking ventral pads. Epiproct short, not extending beyond paraprocts. Anal valves elongate, with dorsal hook (Fig. 8). Hypoproct long, triangular with blunt terminal end, not extending beyond paraprocts.
Anterior gonopod and telopodite of posterior gonopod as illustrated in Figs. 9–11. Sternum narrow distally with distinct ridge along medial aspect (Fig. 10), Cx and Tp as in other rhinocricids (Fig. 9). Posterior gonopod telopod (Tp, Fig. 11) long and spatulate distally with a membranous interior. Seminal canal (Sc) visible, extending from the Cx to the Sm. Seventh segmental ring posteroventrally modified as a postgenital bar to accommodate gonopods. Posterior gonopods in situ extending ~2.0 mm from gonopodal cavity.
Remarks: Chamberlin (1925) separated this species from Oxypyge and established Zipyge because it had more slender antennae with only four sensory cones. As pointed out by Hoffman (1974) antennal characters, number of sensory cones in particular, are not “at all useful in the definition of “natural” genera in this family”. The combination of gonopodal and terminal segment morphology support placement of this species in Oxypyge.

Mystrium

description: [[Genus Mystrium Roger]]
The genus Mystrium Roger is morphologically very peculiar within the poneromorph subfamily group and has the following combination of characteristics: the very wide head; spatulate or squamate hairs on the head; and long, narrow mandibles with a double row of teeth on the inner margins. Monophyly of the genus is strongly supported by a recent molecular phylogenetic study (Saux et al. 2004). Besides their bizarre morphology Mystrium ants have also evolved some unique biological traits. They have a unique defense mechanism in which they snap their mandibles to generate a powerful strike (Gronenberg et al. 1998; Moffett 1986). Molet et al. (2006) demonstrated that, in some species of Mystrium known from Madagascar, normal queens are replaced by wingless reproductives which are smaller than workers. Because Mystrium are rarely encountered, information on their general biology, ecology and behavior remains sparse. They are presumably predaceous like other species of the subfamily Amblyoponinae, although no direct evidence is available (Brown 1960).
The genus was erected by Roger (1862) with the description of the queen of M. mysticum. There are few species, all of which occur in the rainforests of the Old World. Most species are found in tropical Africa: six of them are restricted to Madagascar (and its adjacent islands, i.e. the Malagasy region sensu Bolton 1994) and one is recorded from continental Africa. Mystrium camillae Emery 1889 is widespread in the Indo-Australian region. Xu (1998) recently described M. oculatum from southern China, but we do not regard it as a distinct species. Since the first revision of Menozzi (1929) only Brown (1960) made some revisionary notes on the genus. Here we describe two new species of Mystrium from Papua and West Papua Province, Indonesia, and provide a review of the species known from the Indo-Australian Region.

Mesilla Simon 1903: 30, type species: M. vittiventris Simon 1903:30; Brescovit 1997: 64, figs 146−151.
Diagnosis. Mesilla species are similar to those of Macrophyes species by having elongated and thin body; long and thin legs; median apophysis on anterior side of the tegulum and by having a large retrolateral, marginal tooth on distal side of chelicerae, but can been distinguished by the long and laminar median apophysis; ventral tegular projection absent and long embolus basally inserted on the tegulum (Figs 3 C−E). Females are characterized by their short copulatory ducts, restricted to the posterior portion of the epigynum and with small, tubular seminal receptacles on medial region; long, wide, divergent lateral borders, with rounded apex (Brescovit 1992: 12, 13; 1997: figs 150−151; Figs 3G, H).

Guatemala: Dept. Alta Verapaz, Candelaria Rocks, Scamay Estuary. Hoffman 1999. Checklist of the Millipeds of North and Middle America. p. 96.
Remarks: Oxypygides represents, as noted by Hoffman (1999), “another highly artificial taxon”. Chamberlin (1922) considered this genus to be separate from Oxypyge based on modifications to the first ring segment (“having a deep characteristic pit”, Fig. 13) and having an anal tergite that is rounded rather than acute. The two species placed in Oxypigydes appear to be united as sister taxa based on the presence of these deep pits; the unique modification of the anal tergite is, however, not apparent. Although likely a good synapomorphy, both species share gonopod and anal valve features that place them solidly in Oxypyge, thus, Oxypygides is considered here to be paraphyletic with respect to Oxypyge and is therefore synonymized.

Storena suavis Thorell. Thorell, 1895: 25, description of female
Material examined. Holotype: ♀, BURMA, Tenassarim: no date, leg. E. Oates (NHML, examined).
Taxonomic remarks. Thorell (1897: 193) considered S. suavis as a junior synonym of S. exornata judging from the general appearance of the females. He cited the close resemblance of dorsal and lateral color patterns on the opisthosoma, as well as on the tarsi of legs as crucial.
Diagnosis. The female type of S. suavis is recognized by the narrowed, transverse median plate of the epigyne (Figs 7, 23), and by the widely separated spermathecae in dorsal view (Fig. 9).
Redescription. Female (holotype): Prosoma pear-shaped, widest between coxae III, in profile highest just behind ocular region. Fovea deep, longitudinal. Carapace dark reddish brown; sternum yellowish brown; chelicerae reddish brown. Legs orange brown. Opisthosoma oval, covered with fine pubescence. Dorsum purplish brown. Dorsal pattern represented by two pairs of pale, rounded spots (first pair smallest, second pair largest, obliquely arranged), followed by two transverse median bands and broad pre-anal ring. Venter pale, with broad, purplish band running mid-longitudinally, flanked by two oblique, lateral bands. Posterior ventral spines in front of spinnerets cylindrical, aligned in a single row, their apices blunt. Genitalia (Figs 7, 9–11, 23). Median plate of epigyne lightly sclerotized, represented by thin, narrowed band, its posterior margin rebordered, medially slightly protruding over epigastric furrow. Lateral margins of epigyne retracted. Spermathecae widely separated, running parallel to each other, slightly divergent apically; internal ducts clearly visible, provided with simple apical coils.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality Tenassarim, a mountain range in southern Burma.

Green Turtle, Green Sea Turtle (Fig. 7)
IUCN Red List Category: Endangered (EN A2bd); Mediterranean subpopulation: not assessed.
Type locality: “Insulas Pelagi: insulam Adscensionis.” Restricted to Ascension Island by Mertens & Müller (1928).
Type specimens: Uppsala Zoological Type Collection, Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University, UPSZTY 19, 26, 231, syntypes.
Chorotype: Circumglobal (Cosmopolitan).
First record for Syria: Between Latakia and Jabla (Kasparek 1995).
Citizen science record: Ras Al-Baseet (iNaturalist 2023).
Distribution in Syria: Foraging and nesting in Syria. Chelonia mydas is found off the Syrian coast in different ages throughout the year. Some dead turtles were also seen at the beaches of Ras Al-Baseet, Jabla, Shati’ Afamia, Al-A’waj. Nesting has been reported for many sites on the sandy beaches at (1) Ras Al-Basit, (2) Um et-Toyour, (3) Wadi Kandil, (4) Latakia beach (Shkaifat and Sanawbar), (5) Banias (Rees et al. 2008b, 2009, 2010; Saad et al. 2010, 2020; Saad 2012; Fig. 8). There are four records in the sea off Latakia (Halpin et al. 2009), one at Ras Al-Basit (iNaturalist 2023).
Remarks: Syria is considered the third-most important country for C. mydas nesting in the Mediterranean, after Türkiye and Cyprus (Rees et al. 2010; Casale et al. 2018). More than 85 turtles stranded during 2005 on the Syrian coast, the majority were green turtles (Saad et al. 2006; Saad & Rees 2020, 2022). Morphological malformations in green turtle embryos and hatchlings were studied at Latakia Beach (Rees et al. 2021). Syrian C. mydas belong to the Mediterranean Regional Management Unit (Wallace et al. 2023).

Remarks
This species was recently described from an experimentally deployed mammal carcass for a similar amount of time (approximately 18 months) at the Setúbal Canyon (WIM) (Ravara et al. 2015). The morphological identification was confirmed with molecular analyses (Fig. 2). This study extends its distribution to the Gulf of Cadiz where it occurred associated with experimentally deployed wood and alfalfa substrata. Curiously, O. mammillata was not found in the wood-fall collected at Estremadura Spur (WIM), a site very close to its type locality. It is worth mentioning here that in the GoC only five specimens of O. mammillata were retrieved, compared to 198 specimens previously reported from the Setúbal Canyon (Ravara et al. 2015).
Ecology and distribution
NE Atlantic: from Setúbal Canyon (West Iberian Margin) to the Gulf of Cadiz. Found in experimentally deployed organic falls (mammal carcasses, wood and alfalfa substrata), at a depth of 354–1100 m (Ravara et al. 2015; present study).

Eiselt’s Pond Turtle (Fig. 10)
Provisional Red List Category (TTWG 2021): Critically Endangered (CR).
Type locality: 14 km NE FevzipaŞa, Vilayet Gaziantep, Türkiye.
Type specimens: Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, NMW18551:1, holotype; 3 paratypes in the Naturhistorisches Museum Vienna (NMW 18551:2), the Zoological Department of the Ege University, Izmir (ZDEU 40 /1972:1) and the Museum of Zoology, Senckenberg Dresden (MTD 40468).
Chorotype: Turano-European-Mediterranean.
First record for Syria: Between Al-Kareem and Bab Al-Taqa, collected 25 March 1980 (Kinzelbach 1988; voucher specimen in the Museum of Zoology, Senckenberg Dresden, MTD 39470).
Recent record: East of Jourin. One individual was found dead east of Jourin near the Orontes River in 1997. The shell was preserved in a large and valuable collection of other specimens and photographs (Aidek collection), but all was lost during the war in Syria.
Distribution in Syria: Very rare. Recorded only in the middle and upper Orontes Basin (Fig. 11).
Remarks: This subspecies was described from Gaziantep Province (Türkiye), based on only four museum specimens collected at two different sites in 1966 and 1972 (Fritz et al. 1998). Despite many field surveys from 2001 to 2019 in the Gaziantep region and east of the Amanos Mountains, Türkiye, only 18 specimens were found at the mouth of the Orontes River (Hatay Province, Türkiye; Ayaz et al. 2021). Fieldwork in the Jourin area in Al-Ghab Plain, Syria, in April 2009 failed to find any additional E. o. eiselti, while many Mauremys rivulata were recorded.

description: Genus Perkinsiana Knight-Jones, 1983
Remarks. The genus Perkinsiana was established by Knight-Jones (1983), in order to accommodate species previously assigned to the genera Demonax Kinberg, 1867 (= Parasabella fide Tovar-Hernández & Harris 2010), Potamilla Malmgren, 1866, and Potamethus Chamberlin, 1919. Fitzhugh (1989) provided a diagnosis slightly modified from that of Knight-Jones (1983) and indicated the genus was not united by any recognized synapomorphies, Capa (2007) amended the genus and, based on a cladistic analysis, she concluded that Perkinsiana is paraphyletic. Tovar-Hernández et al. (2012) amended the generic diagnosis of Perkinsiana, to include the presence of a palmate membrane and radiolar flanges, and three patterns of abdominal notochaetae: type A) chaetae with a broad hood, progressively tapering to distal tips in all chaetigers; type B) with a broad knee, distal ends narrowing abruptly on all chaetigers; and type C) elongate, with a narrow hood.
In this study, Perkinsiana antarctica (Kinberg, 1867) and Perkinsiana assimilis (McIntosh, 1885) are redescribed and reported for several localities off Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. Sabella magalhaensis Kinberg, 1867 is transferred to Perkinsiana, and P. littoralis Hartman, 1967 is synonymized to it. Perkinsiana antarctica was found in intertidal zones; P. assimilis, from 90–500 m depth, and P. magalhaensis, from 3–20 m depth. Six species of Perkinsiana from South America are currently valid (Table 2).

Setae c2 18 (18–19) on ventral annulus 9 (8–9); setae d 50 (45–52) on ventral annulus 25 (23–26); setae e 13 (12–15) on ventral annulus 46 (44–47), setae f 23 (22–26) on 7th ventral annulus from rear. Setae h1 3 (3–4). Female genitalia 12 (12–13) long, 21 (21–22) wide, coverflap with 10 longitudinal ridges, proximal setae on coxisternum ІІ (3a) 24 (23–25).
MALE: Unknown.
Types. Holotype, female, China: Shaanxi Province, Yang County, 33°35.23’N, 107°32.26’E. August 9, 2005, from Cotoneaster sp. B. Ehrhart (Rosaceae), coll. Xue, Xiao-Feng and Song, Zi-Wei. Paratypes, 6 females, with the same data as holotype.
Relation to host. Vagrant on leaf surface. No damage to the host was observed.
Etymology. The specific designation cotoneasteri is from the generic name of type host plant, Cotoneaster.
Remarks. This species is similar to Epitrimerus spiraeae Kuang, 1995, but can be differentiated by the presence of admedian lines (admedian and submedian lines present in E. spiraeae), paraxial tibial setae (l') located 1/3 from dorsal base (paraxial tibial setae located at center in E. spiraeae), tarsal solenidion knobbed (tarsal solenidion rodlike in E. spiraeae).
