title: Macaronesian Muscidae (Diptera). V. The genera Phaonia Robineau-Desvoidy and Muscina Robineau-Desvoidy

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Michelsen, Verner, Pont, Adrian C. (2024): Macaronesian Muscidae (Diptera). V. The genera Phaonia Robineau-Desvoidy and Muscina Robineau-Desvoidy. Zootaxa 5458 (4): 581-596, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5458.4.6, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5458.4.6AbstractWe present a review and taxonomic update of the Macaronesian species of the muscid genera Phaonia and Muscina. As a preamble we argue that Phaonia tuguriorum (Scopoli) should be considered as a senior synonym of P. scutellata (Zetterstedt) (syn. nov.) and that the name P. signata (Meigen) (sp. rev.) is reestablished as the valid name for P. tuguriorum auctt. The Azores, Canary Islands and Madeira each have three species of Phaonia and three species of Muscina. One species and three subspecies are endemic to the Canary Islands: Phaonia nigrisquama Stein, P. tuguriorum canariensis Villeneuve (stat. nov.), P. trimaculata sordidisquama Stein (stat. nov.), and Muscina prolapsa fuscisquama ssp. nov. Identification keys to males and females are given for both genera.

title: Revision of the soft scale genus Platylecanium (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae), with descriptions of eight new species

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hodgson, Chris (2025): Revision of the soft scale genus Platylecanium (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae), with descriptions of eight new species. Zootaxa 5646 (2): 151-198, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5646.2.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5646.2.1AbstractThe soft scale insect genus Platylecanium Cockerell & Robinson (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) is member of a group of genera in the tribe Paralecaniinae that have “clear areas” located mediolaterally on the abdomen and polygonal plates on the dorsum delineated by lines of setae and microducts, namely, Paralecanium Cockerell, Discochiton Hodgson & Williams, Insularicoccus Hodgson & Williams and Platylecanium. The species in Platylecanium have never been revised and their character-states are mostly poorly understood as most were described a long time ago and are currently unrecognisable. The purpose of this revision is to: (i) clarify the morphological boundaries of the genus, and (ii) outline how it differs from the other closely similar genera. The present revision, based on the morphology of the adult females, redescribes and illustrates 7 of the 10 species previously included in the genus; unfortunately, type material of three species (P. cyperi Takahashi, P. elongatum Takahashi and P. riouwense Takahashi) was not available. Eight species are described as new, namely: P. coelogyne Hodgson, P. dendrobii Hodgson, P. eastopi Hodgson, P. faveolatum Hodgson, P. palmae Hodgson, P. sarawakense Hodgson, P. vanda Hodgson and P. watsoniae Hodgson spp. nov. The second-instar male and second-instar female of P. vanda are also described and illustrated. In addition, it is argued that asymmetry should not be used as a species diagnostic character in the Coccidae, so P. cocotis Laing is here considered to be a junior synonym of P. asymmetricum Morrison syn. nov. as it appears to be otherwise identical. Keys are provided for separating: (i) Platylecanium from the closely related genera Discochiton, Insularicoccus and Paralecanium, based on adult female morphology; and (ii) the 17 species now recognised in the genus. A lectotype is designated for P. fusiforme Green.

title: Advertisement calls of 18 anuran species in the megadiverse Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil: review and update

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Manzano, Maria Carolina Rodella, Takeno, Michele Fernandes, Sawaya, Ricardo J. (2022): Advertisement calls of 18 anuran species in the megadiverse Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil: review and update. Zootaxa 5178 (5): 453-472, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5178.5.3AbstractAdvertisement calls constitute the main acoustic signals emitted by frogs during reproductive seasons and are considered species-specific. Currently, many studies explore the advertisement calls in this group, including descriptions, taxonomy status, influence of social and ecological aspects, character displacement and plasticity. Although some patterns are detected in several anuran species, the possible intra and interpopulation variation is not well established for the group. Furthermore, new approaches have been proposed to standardize studies in the area and contribute to the description and interpretation of anuran calls, highlighting the urgency of a literature review. We aimed to review and update the advertisement calls of 18 anurans species from the megadiverse Atlantic Forest of Southeastern Brazil. We analyzed 1612 advertisement calls from 175 males of 18 anuran species recorded in ten communities between September 2018 and March 2019. We reviewed the information available in 23 scientific papers and describe each advertisement call based on recent papers. Our results include the definition of sound type for all species recorded, providing temporal and spectral parameters for each species along different localities, including intra and interpopulation variations. We provide new information on the frequency range (minimum and maximum frequencies) for eight species. A new description of the advertisement and territorial call of Boana bandeirantes is also provided based on our fieldwork observations. We emphasize that many species present interpopulation variance throughout their distribution in the megadiverse Atlantic Forest. We hope this information will contribute to future research on amphibian anuran bioacoustics and natural history.

title: Novel sulfoxide chitosan derivative: synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-cancer study and comparison with sulfone counterpart

description: Novel sulfoxide based chitosan conjugate with potential applications has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR and <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Surface morphology and elements present in the derivative were determined by FE-SEM and EDX analyses respectively. Agar well diffusion method was employed to study the antimicrobial property of the synthesized conjugate which exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacteria <i>Escherichia coli</i> (<i>E. coli</i>), gram positive bacteria <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> (<i>B. subtilis</i>) and fungi <i>Aspergillus niger</i> (<i>A. niger</i>) in comparison to chitosan. The synthesized derivative was also tested for the antioxidant property using DPPH radical scavenging method and was found to possess better antioxidant activity (37.0 ± 1.2%) as compared to that of native chitosan (9.5 ± 0.9%). It also showed anticancer property (tested for HepG2 cells) with 53.6 ± 1.3% cell viability. Moreover, it also showed low cytotoxicity when tested against PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Further, synthesis of a sulfone based chitosan derivative was also carried out via a novel route. This derivative was also studied for the aforementioned properties and applications and a comparative study of the results obtained is reported herein.

title: Out of sight, out of mind? Ixalidiidae, a new family of African forest grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) revealed by molecular phylogenetics and genital morphology

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hemp, Claudia, Ritchie, J. Mark, Cigliano, Maria Marta, Heller, Klaus-Gerhard, Warchalowska-Śliwa, Elżbieta, Grzywacz, Beata, Linde, Jackson, Uluar, Onur, Ngoute, Charly Oumarou, Song, Hojun (2025): Out of sight, out of mind? Ixalidiidae, a new family of African forest grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) revealed by molecular phylogenetics and genital morphology. Zoosystema 47 (24): 489-553, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2025v47a24, URL: https://sciencepress.mnhn.fr/sites/default/files/articles/pdf/zoosystema2025v47a24.pdfABSTRACTThis paper presents the most comprehensive higher level phylogeny of the Acridomorpha to date, based on molecular data, clearly showing that the genera Mazaea Stål, 1876, Ixalidium Gerstäcker, 1869, Tangana Ramme, 1929 and Rowellacris Ritchie & Hemp n. gen., previously assigned to the Acrididae, belong to a single clade, constituting a previously unsuspected monophyletic family-level group that we are naming Ixalidiidae Hemp, Song & Ritchie n. fam. This paper combines molecular phylogenetics, morphotaxonomy, cytogenetics and bioacoustics to characterize this new family, and presents a comprehensive character table as context for its placement within the Acridoidea. The family Ixalidiidae Hemp, Song & Ritchie n. fam. currently comprises five genera, two from West and Central Africa: Mazaea and Barombia Karsch, 1891 and three from the montane and coastal forests of Tanzania and Kenya: Ixalidium, Tangana and Rowellacris Ritchie & Hemp n. gen. Three species originally described in Ixalidium are transferred to Rowellacris Ritchie & Hemp n. gen.: R. usambarica (Ramme, 1929) n. comb. (as type species), R. transiens (Ramme, 1929) n. comb. and R. obscuripes (Miller, 1929) n. comb. R. usambarica and R. obscuripes are recalled from synonymy under Ixalidium haematoscelis Gerstäcker, 1869. The monotypic genus Eubocoana Sjöstedt, 1931 is synonymised with Mazaea and the previously unknown male of Mazaea tristis (Sjostedt, 1931) n. comb. is described. Lectotypes are designated for Barombia tuberculosa Karsch, 1891 and for Ixalidium haematoscelis Gerstäcker, 1869. The paper describes the diverse and unusual morphology of the male and female genitalia and documents the exceptional chromosome number of Ixalidiidae Hemp, Song & Ritchie n. fam. and the drumming behaviour of Rowellacris Ritchie & Hemp n. gen. and Tangana. An unexpected sister-group relationship between the African Ixalidiidae Hemp, Song & Ritchie n. fam. and the South American Tristiridae revealed by the molecular phylogeny points to the existence of a common ancestor in Western Gondwana (Atlantica), predating the final separation of South America and Africa around the beginning of the late Cretaceous period 100 million years ago.

title: CHAETOCLADIUS BERYTHENSIS SP. N., C. CALLAUENSIS SP. N., C. GUARDIOLEI SP. N. AND C. PARERAI SP. N., FOUR RELICT SPECIES INHABITING GLACIAL SPRINGS AND STREAMS IN EASTERN PYRENEES AND LEBANON (DIPTERA: CHIRONOMIDAE) Abstract

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Moubayed, Joel, Langton, Peter H (2019): CHAETOCLADIUS BERYTHENSIS SP. N., C. CALLAUENSIS SP. N., C. GUARDIOLEI SP. N. AND C. PARERAI SP. N., FOUR RELICT SPECIES INHABITING GLACIAL SPRINGS AND STREAMS IN EASTERN PYRENEES AND LEBANON (DIPTERA: CHIRONOMIDAE) Abstract. CHIRONOMUS Journal of Chironomidae Research 32 (32): 42-59, DOI: 10.5324/cjcr.v0i32.3000, URL: https://www.ntnu.no/ojs/index.php/chironomus/article/view/3000AbstractFour new species of the genus Chaetocladius s. str. (C. berythensis sp. n., C. callauensis sp. n., C. guardiolei sp. n. and C. parerai sp. n.) are diagnosed and described based on material collected in some glacial springs and small streams located at high altitude (1800-2300 m). While C. berythensis sp. n. is described only as male adult from the upper basin of the Beirut River (Lebanon Mount, Western range, Mount Sannine), C. callauensis sp. n. C. guardiolei sp. n. and C. parerai sp. n. are described as male adult accompanied by descriptions of tentatively associated male pupal exuviae from the upper basin of the Mantet River and Soques stream (eastern Pyrenees, West France). Additional taxonomic notes including illustrations and brief descriptions of 10 taxa/species based on male adults, male pharate adults and pupal exuviae collected in glacial springs, peat bogs and streams located at high altitude are provided. On the basis of characters in the male adult, only C. berythensis sp. n. keys to the laminatus -group, which is reported for the first time from the Levantine sub-region. Based on the unusual shape of both inferior volsella and gonostylus, the four new Chaetocladius species each belong to local biogeographic elements: C. berythensis sp. n. to a ‘Levantine element’, while C. callauensis sp. n., C. guardiolei sp. n. and C. parerai sp. n. belong to a ‘Pyrenean element’. All of the four new species are considered to be relict representatives of glacial helocrenes and cold stenothermic streams. Such species may be biological indicators and biogeographic representatives of global warming and local climate change.

We identified a total of seventeen species, of which D. atabekia sp. n. (♂♀; Goychay and Ismayilli districts, Azerbaijan), H. abasgiana sp. n. (♂♀; Republic of Abkhazia, Georgia), and H. dunini sp. n. (♂; Zagatala district, Azerbaijan) are described as new to science and their distributions are mapped. Furthermore, three new records are provided: D. daghestanica Dunin, 1991 from Krasnodar Krai, D. concinna L. Koch, 1878 from Iran, and D. mazini Dunin, 1991 from Azerbaijan. By examining the type series of Harpactea caucasia (Kulczyński, 1895), we found that at least a part of Dunin’s records of this species refer to H. abasgiana sp. n., and his figures of this species in fact refer to an undescribed species. Brief notes are provided on the northernmost distribution limits of Dysderidae.
