title: A redescription of Leptochiton belknapi Dall, 1878 (Mollusca: Polyplacophora Leptochitonidae), the type species of the new genus Belknapchiton

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sirenko, Boris, Saito, Hiroshi, Schwabe, Enrico (2022): A redescription of Leptochiton belknapi Dall, 1878 (Mollusca: Polyplacophora Leptochitonidae), the type species of the new genus Belknapchiton. Zootaxa 5205 (2): 101-124, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5205.2.1AbstractLeptochiton belknapi is revisited, based on a morphological study of more than 340 specimens from different localities in the Pacific Ocean; intraspecific and age variability has been determined and a confirmed distribution of this species has been compiled. The restudy of the species allowed to test the usefulness of a combined character set, which mainly focuses on body size, perinotum coverage, tegmental structures and radula characteristics. By doing so, it turned out that the intraspecific variability is less pronounced than previously assumed. The obtained results and comparison with morphologically similar species, leads to the erection of the new genus Belknapchiton, with Leptochiton belknapi being its type species. The new genus differs from the genus Leptochiton by its elongate oval, large body, rather narrow, sharply pointed perinotum scales with scattered needles, a short radula with a wide central tooth, short first lateral teeth and a strong unidentate (sometimes with denticle-like appendage) head of the second lateral teeth. The vast majority of the 22 species of the new genus inhabit the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean and only B. alveolus (M. Sars MS, Lovén, 1846) is known from the Atlantic Ocean.

title: Scuttling in the highlands: Discovery of a new genus and species of freshwater crabs (Decapoda, Gecarcinucidae) from the Eastern Ghats, India

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mitra, Santanu, Rath, Shibananda, Jung, Won-Kyo, Kim, Hyun-Woo, Kundu, Shantanu (2025): Scuttling in the highlands: Discovery of a new genus and species of freshwater crabs (Decapoda, Gecarcinucidae) from the Eastern Ghats, India. ZooKeys 1257: 71-90, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1257.156494AbstractA new genus of gecarcinucid freshwater crab, Patithelphusa gen. nov., is described from the Shevaroy Hills, Yercaud, located in Salem District, Tamil Nadu, within the Eastern Ghats of India. This new genus is closely related to Baratha Bahir & Yeo, 2007 and Travancoriana Bott, 1969, but can be readily distinguished by a combination of morphological characters, including a relatively broad and shallow cervical groove, triangular bilobed median teeth on the epistomal median lobe, a blunt external orbital tooth with a relatively long outer margin, and a distinct G 1 terminal segment terminating in a triangular tip. In addition, morphological characters together with molecular evidence from partial mitochondrial 16 S rRNA gene sequences support the recognition of Patithelphusa yercaudensis sp. nov. as a distinct species, exhibiting a genetic divergence of 9.66 % from its closest relative, Travancoriana schirnerae Bott, 1969. Phylogenetic analyses based on Bayesian inference and maximum-likelihood approaches recovered the newly described species as a well-supported monophyletic clade, distinctly separated from other known gecarcinucid taxa from India and the geographically proximate region of Sri Lanka. With the addition of this new genus and species, the diversity of Indian gecarcinucid crabs increases to 112 species across 31 genera. Furthermore, biogeographic inferences suggest that the new genus and species may be isolated from its closest gecarcinucid relatives by the wide valleys and the Cauvery River system, which likely act as ecological and geographical barriers. These unique topographical features may restrict gene flow and limit dispersal among high-altitude, habitat-specialist decapods, providing a refuge that facilitates the evolution of novel taxonomic units in peninsular India.

title: A new species of possible archipolypodan millipede from the Carboniferous of the Netherlands with unusually long tergites

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Haug, Joachim T., Fraaije, René H. B., Haug, Carolin (2023): A new species of possible archipolypodan millipede from the Carboniferous of the Netherlands with unusually long tergites. Comptes Rendus Palevol 22 (29): 595-604, DOI: 10.5852/cr-palevol2023v22a29, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5852/cr-palevol2023v22a29ABSTRACTMillipedes have a long evolutionary history, with the oldest presumed fossils of Diplopoda de Blainville in Gervais, 1844 being from the Silurian and the first definite fossil record originating from Devonian deposits. The phylogeny of Diplopoda is not fully resolved yet, especially not concerning fossil representatives. At the same time, already in the Palaeozoic millipedes showed quite a morphological and presumably also ecological variety. We describe here a new species of a Carboniferous millipede from the Westphalian A of the Netherlands, Lauravolsella willemeni n. gen., n. sp., a possible representative of Archipolypoda (†Archipolypoda Scudder, 1882). The species is based on a single specimen, preserved with part and counterpart, which both show a three-dimensional preservation. The specimen has unusually long tergites, in normal life position covering most of the following segment. These long tergites might have been beneficial when performing defensive enrolling. In extant millipedes, enrolling is usually facilitated by softer areas between the sternites, allowing for a certain degree of ventral compression. In the new fossil, the sclerotic sternites occupy the entire length of the ventral side of the segment, not allowing for any type of compression. The new fossil therefore demonstrates another solution for the mechanical challenges during enrolment and increases the morphological diversity of Carboniferous millipedes.

Myrcia longisepala and M. rogersiana share morphological features which place them in the Gomidesia clade. The species are recorded for lowland and submontane forests in the Atlantic Forest. Myrcia longisepala is morphologically related to M. congestiflora, but differs by its smaller leaves, fewer secondary leaf veins, smaller petioles and fruits. Myrcia rogersiana is morphologically related to M. springiana, but differs by its reduced inflorescence main axis and flowers clustered at the apex of the inflorescence. Distribution maps and conservation assessments based on IUCN criteria are also given.

Many species of the cenus Ornithodoros are known only throuch larval descriptions, and their chaetotaxy and morpholocical characteristics have been used to separate the taxa. In the present study, we describe the larva and the nymph of first instar of a new species of the cenus Ornithodoros that was collected from frocs of the speciesThoropa miliaris.Methods: Larvae of Ornithodoros were collected from frocs of the species T. miliaris at waterfalls in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. The larval and nymphal description was based on optical and scanninc electron microscopy. Molecular analysis usinc the arcasid 16S rRNA sequences available in GenBank was also conducted.Results: Ornithodoros faccinii sp. n. is closely related to Ornithodoros clarki Jones & Clifford, Ornithodoros marinkellei Kohls, Clifford & Jones, Ornithodoros capensis Neumann and Ornithodoros sawaii Kitaoka & Susuki. However, the larval morpholocy of the new species is unique. The mitochondrial 16S rDNA partial sequence of O. faccinii ceneratedin the present study was deposited in GenBank under the number KP861242.Conclusions: The larvae collected from Thoropa miliaris are a new species, Ornithodoros faccinii n. sp. This is the first report of arcasid ticks on frocs in Brazil, the second on frocs and the third on Amphibia in the Neotropical recion.

Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (3): 1113-1122, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.152740AbstractThis paper describes a species of non-bloodsucking aquatic leeches distributed in Shibadong Cave, Huayuan County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hunan Province, belonging to the Wuling Mountains of central China. Based on morphological examination, mitochondrial DNA COI gene sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis, the leech was identified as a new genus in the family Salifidae and named Shibabdella gen. nov. after its collecting locality, “ Shibadong Cave, ” with the type species named Shibabdella wulingensis sp. nov. The genetic distances between this new genus and other genera in the family Salifidae ranged from 19.01 % to 23.75 % based on COI gene sequence alignment. Morphologically, the main distinguishing features are as follows: one complete somite consists of nine annuli; the pharynx appears tubular, reaching XIV c 1 – c 4, with three myognaths anteriorly; accessory copulatory pores are absent; male and female gonopores are located in the ventral center and annular furrow of somite XII c 2 / c 3 (57 th / 58 th annuli) and somite XII c 11 / c 12 (63 rd / 64 th annuli), respectively, separated by six annuli. The atrium appears spherical in shape and lacks a pre-atrial loop. Ovisacs are strip-like and extend to the middle of somite XXI, then fold in the opposite direction.
