title: Sea spiders (Class: Pycnogonida) from northwest Africa with the description of 4 new species

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Antolínez, Henar, Ramil, Fran (2025): Sea spiders (Class: Pycnogonida) from northwest Africa with the description of 4 new species. Zootaxa 5689 (3): 401-438, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5689.3.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5689.3.1AbstractThis work describes the analysis of a sea spider (Pycnogonida) collection obtained during 10 multidisciplinary surveys performed between 2004 and 2012 along the Northwest African coast, from Morocco to Guinea, at depths between 20 m and 1850 m. A total of 601 specimens belonging to 23 species, 7 families, and 8 genera were identified. The most speciose genera are Colossendeis (6 species), Nymphon (5 species), Anoplodactylus (4 species), and Bathypallenopsis (3 species). Remaining genera include Achelia (2 species), Tanystylum, Ascorhynchus, and Callipallene (1 species each). A description of four new species is included: Nymphon saharicum sp. nov., Nymphon anaramosae sp. nov., Nymphon pacitae sp. nov., and Anoplodactylus valeriae sp. nov.

title: Revision of Aneflomorpha Casey and Neaneflus Linsley (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the United States with an illustrated key to species

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Lingafelter, Steven W. (2022): Revision of Aneflomorpha Casey and Neaneflus Linsley (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the United States with an illustrated key to species. Insecta Mundi 2022 (954): 1-59, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7399054Abstract. The genera Aneflomorpha Casey, 1912 and Neaneflus Linsley, 1957 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) are revised for the species occurring in the United States. Examination of all primary types has necessitated redefinition of several species that were defined originally and subsequently on erroneous character descriptions. Two new species of Aneflomorpha are described from Arizona: Aneflomorpha crypta Lingafelter, new species and A. paralinearis Lingafelter new species. One subspecies, Aneflomorpha rectilinea yumae Giesbert and Hovore, 1976 is elevated to species, new status. Six species are synonymized: Aneflomorpha citrana Chemsak, 1960 is a new synonym of A. rectilinea Casey, 1924; Aneflomorpha parowana Casey, 1924 is a new synonym of Aneflomorpha linearis (LeConte 1859), along with its synonyms A. testacea Casey, 1924, A. elongata Linsley, 1936, and A. californica Linsley, 1936; Aneflomorpha arizonica Linsley, 1936 is a new synonym of Aneflomorpha unispinosa Casey, 1912; Aneflomorpha parkeri Knull, 1934 is a new synonym of Aneflomorpha gilana Casey, 1924; Aneflomorpha texana Linsley 1936 is removed from synonymy with A. seminuda Casey, 1912 and found to be conspecific with A. werneri Chemsak, 1962, new synonym. Aneflomorpha opacicornis Linsley, 1957 is transferred to Neaneflus as N. opacicornis (Linsley), new combination, and Neaneflus brevispinus Chemsak, 1962 is a new synonym. With this revision, there are eighteen species of Aneflomorpha and two species of Neaneflus recognized for the United States. All species are presented with new diagnoses, illustrated characters, updated distributional and host information, and an illustrated identification key.

title: Studies on chevron crickets: Contribution to the knowledge of Lutosinae / ini taxa (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Cadena-Castañeda, Oscar J., García, Alexander García, Nos, Maria Del Pilar Castella-, Sarmiento, Juan Pablo Prias, Tavares, Gustavo Costa (2022): Studies on chevron crickets: Contribution to the knowledge of Lutosinae / ini taxa (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae). Zootaxa 5178 (4): 347-379, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5178.4.3AbstractIn this contribution to the study of chevron crickets, we focus on several taxa of the subfamily/tribe Lutosinae /ini. Historical background was made on the classification of this group. Lutosa is redescribed, defining the generic and specific limits, thus providing a key for identifying the species based on males and another based on females. In addition, two new species are described: Lutosa morsellii n. sp. and Lutosa quaresmai n. sp.; L. marginalis, L. cubaensis and L. goeldiana were redescribed, and L. surda n. syn., was synonymized under L. paranaensis. Other species previously allocated in Lutosa are relocated as follows: Lutosa obliqua and L. azteca are again synonymized under Licodia pallipes; Lutosa inermis is moved back to Dolichochaeta (D. inermis comb. rev.). The genus Neolutosa is studied, grouping three species N. emarginata (with new specimens that rule out its presence in Central America), N. aculeata (with additional specimens, erroneously identified in the past as L. brasiliensis) and N. horribilis n. comb. (this species is transferred from Lutosa). A key to species is also provided. Records for Apotetamenus clipeatus are reported for the Brazilian Amazon and the states of Mato Grosso and São Paulo (Brazil). Finally, the classification of the family Anostostomatidae and the subfamily / tribe Lutosinae /nini is discussed.

title: The coiled Middle Ordovician cephalopod genera Trocholites and Curtoceras (Tarphyceratida) from Baltoscandia and north-central Europe

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Aubrechtová, Martina, Korn, Dieter (2025): The coiled Middle Ordovician cephalopod genera Trocholites and Curtoceras (Tarphyceratida) from Baltoscandia and north-central Europe. European Journal of Taxonomy 982: 1-78, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.982.2843, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2843/12943Abstract. The family Trocholitidae comprises a diverse group of Middle to Late Ordovician coiled cephalopods known from numerous finds in Baltoscandia and from glacial erratics in the Baltic Sea region. However, most descriptions of these forms date back more than a hundred years. Here we describe 83 specimens of the genera Trocholites and Curtoceras (family Trocholitidae). They were collected from boulders in Pleistocene glacio-fluvial sediments in Germany and Poland, as well as from in-situ strata in Sweden and Estonia. Sixteen species of Trocholites and two species of Curtoceras are identified; twelve species are new: Trocholites baldri sp. nov., T. freyjae sp. nov., T. glacialis sp. nov., T. kadakaensis sp. nov., T. luna sp. nov., T. splendor sp. nov., T. triangulus sp. nov., T. tureki sp. nov., T. vodickai sp. nov., T. vortex sp. nov., T. zaryensis sp. nov. and Curtoceras meyeri sp. nov. The diagnoses of previously described taxa are revised by incorporating information on ontogenetic changes, ontogenetic trajectories and variation of morphological characters. The three species of Trocholites established by Eichwald (1840), T. odini, T. incongruus and T. depressus, are synonymised and the latter name is retained based on priority. Neotypes are proposed for Trocholites depressus, T. macrostoma and T. contractus. Curtoceras estonicum Balashov, 1953 is synonymised with C. teres. Trocholites macromphalus Schröder, 1891 and Trocholites scoticus Blake, 1882 are transferred to Curtoceras. The species names soraviensis and orbis are considered valid but are still not used in this work because the original type collection was probably destroyed during World War II and no other specimens could be reliably assigned to any of these taxa.

Fossil Imprint 78 (2): 489-512, DOI: 10.37520/fi.2022.021, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.37520/fi.2022.021Abstract: Eleven late Bashkirian ammonoid taxa (Anthracoceratites sp., Cymoceras sp., Melvilloceras rotaii (LIBROVITCH in POPOV, 1979), Gastrioceras angustum PATTEISKY, 1964, G. lupinum POPOV, 1979, G. kutejnikovense POPOV, 1979,? Agastrioceras sp., Bisatoceras sp.,? Owenoceras sp., Branneroceras sp. A, and Branneroceras sp. B), are described from the Mospyne Formation of the Donets Basin, eastern Ukraine. Representatives of the genera Cymoceras, Agastrioceras, Bisatoceras are first recorded from the Carboniferous of the Donets Basin. Early Westphalian (G2 ammonoid zone, Langsettian) ammonoids Gastrioceras listeri, G. angustum and Branneroceras spp. indicate the attribution of the Mospyne Formation to the GastriocerasBranneroceras Genozone.
