title: New insights into the mitogenomic phylogeny and evolutionary history of Murinae (Rodentia, Muridae) with the description of a new tribe

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Liu, Shuang, Zhao, Songping, Wang, Jing, Fu, Changkun, Wang, Xuming, Liu, Shaoying, Chen, Shunde (2025): New insights into the mitogenomic phylogeny and evolutionary history of Murinae (Rodentia, Muridae) with the description of a new tribe. ZooKeys 1233: 55-74, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1233.140676AbstractMurinae is the largest known subfamily of Muridae and includes 15 tribes and 3 genera (incertae sedis). Although the phylogeny of Murinae has been studied, its phylogenetic relationships have not been completely elucidated. We used phylogenetic framework and molecular dating methodologies with the vast majority of available mitochondrial genomes to disentangle the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of Murinae. Sixteen tribes were identified within the Murinae subfamily. Among these, fifteen tribes were found to be consistent with those currently recognized. Hapalomyini (Clade A) was located at the base of the Murinae clade with strong nodal support contrary to previous studies, which showed that Phloeomyini diverged first. The Clade B consisted of Micromyini, Rattini, and the genus Vernaya. Vernaya cannot be accommodated in any existing tribe. The origin of Murinae dates back to 17.22 Ma. The split between Micromyini and Vernayini was dated to 11.69 Ma during the Miocene, indicating that they were both early branches of Murinae. Combined with the differences between Vernaya and its sister tribes (Micromyini and Rattini) in morphology, skull and teeth, we validated a new tribe, Vernayini tribe nov. We believe that it is necessary to combine morphological and molecular perspectives (especially from a genome-wide perspective) to determine the phylogenetic position of tribes with an uncertain taxonomic position in Murinae.

title: Sufetula culshawi sp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Crambidae, Lathrotelinae): a previously unrecognised species affecting cultivated palms

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Young, Mark R., Hall, Peter R., Richards, Nigel G. J., Lees, David C. (2025): Sufetula culshawi sp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Crambidae, Lathrotelinae): a previously unrecognised species affecting cultivated palms. Nota Lepidopterologica 48: 1-14, DOI: 10.3897/nl.48.126042Abstract.A new species of the pantropical genus Sufetula Walker, 1859 (Crambidae: Lathrotelinae) is described. A male specimen was found by Martin Culshaw as an accidental import in Stirlingshire, Scotland, whilst a female specimen was later found in the Natural History Museum collections, which had been reared in southernmost Kyushu, at Ibusuki, Japan. These specimens do not match externally the 31 currently accepted described species in the genus. We obtained a full 658 bp DNA barcode from both specimens (together with all of COI from the Japanese exemplar) that confirmed their conspecificity but showing at least 7.49 % p-distance from any presently existing cluster. Phylogenetic analysis, including 14 other exemplars with DNA barcodes from BOLD / GenBank, failed to place the new taxon with any existing lathroteline species group. The Japanese specimen was reared from the roots of an Areca Palm Chrysalidocarpus lutescens Wendland in 1987, whilst the specimen imported to Scotland may have emerged from the same species. This information suggests that the new species is a previously unrecognised coloniser of horticulturally imported palms. Currently we cannot rule out the hypothesis that the species is native to habitats containing palms in the southern Japanese islands, and further specimens should be searched for in collections and in the wild. However, INaturalist images externally diagnostic for the species suggest it is widespread in South East Asia.

title: Exploring the water mite fauna (Acari, Hydrachnidia) of the Madeira archipelago: DNA Barcoding reveals a remarkable species endemicity

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Pešić, Vladimir, Zawal, Andrzej, Bankowska, Aleksandra, Araújo, Ricardo, Sługocki, Łukasz, Rewicz, Tomasz, Krakowiak, Maja, Michoński, Grzegorz, Girão, Dinis, Da Silva, Luis P., Órfão, Inês, Raposeiro, Pedro M., Ballini, Lorenzo, Stryjecki, Robert, Ekrem, Torbjørn, Ferreira, Sónia (2025): Exploring the water mite fauna (Acari, Hydrachnidia) of the Madeira archipelago: DNA Barcoding reveals a remarkable species endemicity. Zootaxa 5621 (5): 501-513, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5621.5.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5621.5.1AbstractWater mites represent the group with the highest degree of endemism among all macroinvertebrates living in freshwater habitats of Madeira. The water mite fauna of this archipelago has been well known for a long time, but until now they have not been molecularly investigated. So far, 25 species of water mites have been recorded, most of them endemic to Madeira. The library presented here covers 584 COI DNA barcodes grouped into 23 Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), which represent the genetic barcodes of 23 species (more than 80% of the known Madeira water mite fauna). Our study shows that COI barcode clusters generated by the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) matches to morphological identifications of specimens, with one exception in the family Lebertiidae. A large-scale comparison of the new sequences with those available in public databases such as BOLD confirmed the uniqueness of the genetic diversity of water mites inhabiting Madeira. Neumania atlantida Lundblad, 1941, a species previously synonymized with N. uncinata Walter, 1927, is resurrected as a valid species. Additionally, genetic data revealed that Sperchon brevirostris Koenike, 1895, a species common in freshwaters of Europe and Macaronesia, consists of multiple genetic lineages, one of which is restricted to Madeira. Finally, our research revealed three species new to the water mite fauna of Madeira, i.e., Hydrachna skorikowi Piersig, 1900, Arrenurus bicuspidator Berlese, 1885 and Lebertia algeriensis Lundblad, 1942. The latter species, found to be common in the running waters of the island, may be the first species of water mite documented as potentially, if not invasive, then non-indigenous in freshwater ecosystems of Madeira.

title: A new species of Dixonius Bauer, Good, & Branch, 1997 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from a karstic archipelago in Western Cambodia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Grismer, L. Lee, Sinovas, Pablo, Quah, Evan S. H., Thi, Sothearen, Chourn, Phyroum, Chhin, Sophea, Hun, Seiha, Cobos, Anthony, Ching, Christian, Murdoch, Matthew L., Gregory, Jeren J., Nguyen, Eddie, Hernandez, Alex P., Kaatz, Amanda, Grismer, Jesse L. (2025): A new species of Dixonius Bauer, Good, & Branch, 1997 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from a karstic archipelago in Western Cambodia. Zootaxa 5653 (4): 501-523, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5653.4.3, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5653.4.3AbstractAn integrative taxonomic analysis was used to delimit and diagnose a new species of Dixonius from a karstic archipelago in western Cambodia. Dixonius noctivagus sp. nov. was recovered as the sister species to an undescribed species from eastern Cambodia and southwestern Vietnam based on 1,396 bp of the mitochondrial ND2 gene. A statistically robust diagnosis was established through multivariate and univariate analyses of morphometric, meristic, and categorical color pattern characters separating D. noctivagus sp. nov. from all other congeners. Although Dixonius is a common and widespread genus, the description herein brings the total number of Dixonius in Cambodia to two—far fewer than the eight species from both neighboring Thailand and Vietnam. This disparity underscores the need for systematic biodiversity surveys in the many understudied regions of Cambodia, particularly focusing on its herpetofauna. The discovery of D. noctivagus sp. nov. alongside recently described Cyrtodactylus and Hemiphyllodactyus species from the same karst formations highlights the urgent need for legal protection of these fragile habitats in the region.

title: Aulopus chirichignoae, a new flagfin from the eastern Pacific Ocean (Teleostei, Aulopiformes, Aulopidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Béarez, Philippe, Zavalaga, Fabiola, Miranda, Junior, Mennesson, Marion I., Campos-León, Sarita, Jiménez-Prado, Pedro (2024): Aulopus chirichignoae, a new flagfin from the eastern Pacific Ocean (Teleostei, Aulopiformes, Aulopidae). Zootaxa 5458 (1): 108-118, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5458.1.6, URL: http://zoobank.org/b01ec614-27ed-423d-beef-d34b2011cbcfAbstractA new species of the Aulopidae is described from the waters of southern Ecuador and northern Peru. Aulopus chirichignoae sp. nov. was previously confused with Aulopus bajacali Parin & Kotlyar, 1984, but it differs from this species by a significantly marked elongation of the dorsal fin rays in males (absent in females), a smaller head, modal differences in dorsal and anal ray counts (15 vs 14 and 11 vs 12, respectively), a higher number of vertebrae (50–51 vs 47–49), and color differences, especially on the dorsal fin. DNA barcoding analysis supported the status of new species, evidencing a 4.2% and 2.8% divergence with Aulopus filamentosus (Bloch, 1792) and A. bajacali, respectively. A sequence of an Aulopus sp., collected in the Tropical Eastern Pacific, matches the new species with only a 0.4% divergence, indicating that Aulopus chirichignoae sp. nov. is distributed at least as far north as the Paramount Seamount at 3°20.35’N, ca. 400 km north of the Galápagos Islands.

(Echinodermata, Holothuroidea, Dendrochirotida, Sclerodactylidae). ZooKeys 1206: 191-206, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1206.123364AbstractA new species of holothuroid, Pseudothyone labradorensis sp. nov. (order Dendrochirotida and family Sclerodactylidae), was discovered off the coast of Labrador (eastern Canada) at a depth of 740– 969 m. Two specimens were described based on morphological and genetic parameters. Distinctive characters included pinkish body colour, presence of tube feet on a ‘ tail’, supporting rod-shaped ossicles in the tube feet, and rod-shaped ossicles in the tentacles. To investigate its phylogenetic relationships, partial sequences of COI were obtained for the new species as well as for the type species P. raphanus and another North Atlantic species P. serrifera. According to the phylogenetic analysis, P. labradorensis sp. nov. appeared in a well-supported clade with P. raphanus and P. serrifera. Molecular data also suggest polyphyly of the genus, showing the Northeast Pacific species Pseudothyone belli recovered outside of the clade containing the type species. Pseudothyone labradorensis sp. nov. is the first species of the genus from the Northwest Atlantic. A key to the North Atlantic Pseudothyone is provided.

This species is characterized by its small-sized basidiomata, a squamulose pileipellis consisting of pseudoparenchymatous tissue, yellowish-brown basidiospores and an absence of pleurocystidia and clamp connections. However, it is clearly distinguishable from H. nigroviolaceus by the presence of larger basidiospores and smaller pseudoparenchymatous cells in the squamulose pileus. Phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and large subunit (nrLSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) also revealed that the position of H. siamensis is wellsupported within the genus Hymenagaricus, but distinct from other sequenced species. A full description, color photographs, illustrations and a phylogenetic tree showing the position of H. siamensis are provided. Comparisons between morphologically similar and related species have also been made and are discussed.
