title: Exploring the diversity of leafhoppers from Brazil: five new species of Erythrogonia Melichar (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellini)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Quintas, Victor, Silva, Adriane P., Takiya, Daniela M., Mejdalani, Gabriel (2025): Exploring the diversity of leafhoppers from Brazil: five new species of Erythrogonia Melichar (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellini). Zootaxa 5686 (2): 249-269, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5686.2.5, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5686.2.5AbstractErythrogonia is the largest genus of the Cicadellinae in the New World, with 91 known species, being widely distributed across the Neotropical Region. In addition to the description of five new species from Brazil, this paper provides an updated checklist of the known species of Erythrogonia, including new distribution records, and taxonomic notes on the genus. The new species are E. peclyae sp. nov. (state of Roraima), E. dalvae sp. nov. (state of Amazonas), E. adolfoi sp. nov. (state of Acre), E. dmitrievi sp. nov. (state of Maranhão), and E. dietrichi sp. nov. (state of Goiás). Erythrogonia meridionalis Schmidt, 1928 is excluded from Erythrogonia and treated as a junior synonym of Tettisama quinquemaculata (Germar, 1821). Present results underscore the importance of studying material from scientific collections and highlight the need for increased financial support and collaboration among research institutions to address gaps in our knowledge of leafhopper diversity.

title: A taxonomic revision of the genus Alexeter Förster (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Ctenopelmatinae, Mesoleiini) from Taiwan, with descriptions of six new species

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Chen, Hsuan-Pu, Huang, Chia-Lung, Shiao, Shiuh-Feng (2025): A taxonomic revision of the genus Alexeter Förster (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Ctenopelmatinae, Mesoleiini) from Taiwan, with descriptions of six new species. ZooKeys 1250: 315-358, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1250.156835AbstractThe genus Alexeter Förster, 1869 is first recorded from Taiwan. One previously described species, A. shakojiensis Uchida, 1930, is newly recorded from Taiwan. Six new species, A. flavomaculatus sp. nov., A. hsiaoae sp. nov., A. mediolobus sp. nov., A. monticola sp. nov., A. pseudozangicus sp. nov., and A. rufispeculus sp. nov., are described and can be distinguished from their congeners primarily based on color pattern, mandibular teeth, propodeal carinae, fore wing length and venation, ocellar and first metasomal tergite measurements, and flagellomere counts. Illustrations of the male genitalia and a diagnostic key to the Taiwanese Alexeter species are provided. DNA-based species delimitations are provided as supporting evidence for four new species. In a COI-based phylogeny sampling 31 operative taxonomic units of Alexeter and similar genera, the genus Alexeter was not resolved as a monophyletic group. Additionally, the COI barcode showed limitations in distinguishing some Alexeter morphospecies, indicating the need for further evaluation of COI - based species delimitation in this genus.

title: High diversity and new species of meiofaunal Nerillidae (Annelida) in subtidal sediments and anchialine caves of the East China Sea

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Worsaae, Katrine, Hansen, Malte J., Defourneaux, Éloïse, Olesen, Jørgen, Park, Jiseon, Park, Taeseo, Fujita, Yoshihisa (2025): High diversity and new species of meiofaunal Nerillidae (Annelida) in subtidal sediments and anchialine caves of the East China Sea. European Journal of Taxonomy 1021: 1-54, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1021.3075, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3075/13717Abstract. Nerillidae is the most species-rich, meiofaunal, annelid family, but little is known about its diversity and distribution in the Northwest Pacific. Four sampling campaigns to Jeju Island, South Korea, and the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, retrieved an unexpectedly high diversity of about 17 nerillid species in subtidal and submarine cave localities of the East China sea, with only Nipponerilla irabuensis Worsaae, Hansen & Fujita in Worsaae et al., 2021 previously described. Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods were performed on datasets of concatenated gene sequences (18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, COI, and H3) comprising a total of 55 terminals from 11 different genera of Nerillidae. Integrating detailed morphological assessments (light-, scanning electron-, and confocal laser scanning microscopy) with molecular analyses, we here describe seven new species and a new genus, Cirrinerilla gen. nov. None of the species show geographical overlap between South Korea and the Ryukyu Islands, possibly due to oceanographic and anchialine dispersal barriers and poor dispersal capabilities of Nerillidae. However, two congeneric terminals of Meganerilla and two of Leptonerilla from different islands of the Ryukyus show relatively high molecular similarity, suggesting recent vicariance of these populations (or species). The anchialine caves hold a remarkably high diversity of nerillids compared to coastal subtidal localities, supporting a preadaptation of Nerillidae to these isolated habitats under freshwater influence. This study underlines the need for further exploration of the unique anchialine habitats as well as additional subtidal meiofauna surveys in the East China Sea, for shedding further light on benthic diversifications and colonizations in this region.

title: The Leptopilina Förster, 1869 of the Western Palearctic, and an updated list of the world species (Hymenoptera, Figitidae, Eucoilinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Vogel, Jonathan, Martin, Jakob, Forshage, Mattias, Salden, Tobias, Staverløkk, Arnstein, Verheyde, Fons, Nordlander, Göran, Herz, Annette, Peters, Ralph S. (2025): The Leptopilina Förster, 1869 of the Western Palearctic, and an updated list of the world species (Hymenoptera, Figitidae, Eucoilinae). Journal of Hymenoptera Research 98: 915-969, DOI: 10.3897/jhr.98.165583AbstractThe genus Leptopilina comprises species of parasitoid wasps that primarily attack early instar larvae of drosophilid species, some of which are well-known agricultural or nuisance pests. To unravel host-parasitoid interactions and to use parasitoids effectively in biological control, the correct taxonomic assignment is of crucial importance.In the course of the German Barcode of Life III: Dark Taxa (GBOL III: Dark Taxa) project, we assembled specimens of all seven species of Leptopilina of the Western Palearctic. Using CO 1 barcode sequence analyses and morphological examination allows us to evaluate species limits in an integrative approach, to provide extended species diagnoses as well as an updated key to the species of the Western Palearctic.This work also summarizes current knowledge on Western Palearctic Leptopilina species, including their distribution, population parameters, habitats, flight periods, and hosts. We provide the first country records of three Leptopilina species for Belgium, including the non-native L. japonica, propose two species level synonymies and move one Western Palearctic species out of Leptopilina.Finally, to facilitate taxonomic research on Leptopilina in lesser-known regions, we provide a list of non-Western Palearctic species, including the moving of 13 species into Leptopilina. These changes also result in two new generic synonymies.In conclusion, Western Palearctic Leptopilina can be clearly diagnosed both morphologically and molecularly. Comparable ease of identification and cultivation, as well as the economic interest in potent biological control agents against drosophilid pests make them ideal organisms for basic and applied research.

title: Singing on key: An integrative taxonomic revision of barking geckos (Gekkonidae: Ptenopus) with six additional species and keys for morphology and advertisement calls

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Becker, François S., Alexander, Graham J., Tolley, Krystal A. (2025): Singing on key: An integrative taxonomic revision of barking geckos (Gekkonidae: Ptenopus) with six additional species and keys for morphology and advertisement calls. Vertebrate Zoology 75: 277-323, DOI: 10.3897/vz.75.e153514AbstractBarking geckos, Ptenopus Gray, 1866 are burrowing geckos that occur across the xeric regions of southern Africa. They possess unique vocal abilities, with males producing loud advertisement calls to attract females. The taxonomy of the genus has remained stable for six decades, with three recognised species: Ptenopus garrulus (Smith, 1849), P. kochi Haacke, 1964, and P. carpi Brain, 1962. Within P. garrulus, two subspecies have been recognised since 1935: the nominotypical form (P. g. garrulus) and P. g. maculatus Gray, 1866. A recent phylogenetic analysis of the genus found that it contains eight to ten putative species. We used an integrated taxonomic approach to delimit a total of nine species, including evidence from phylogenetics, ecology, calls, and morphology. Ptenopus g. maculatus is elevated to full species, thereby restricting the geographic range of P. garrulus sensu stricto to the greater Kalahari. Additionally, four new species are named which were previously included in ‘ P. g. maculatus ’: Ptenopus adamanteus sp. nov. from the southern Namib Desert, P. circumsyrticus sp. nov. from the central Namib Desert, P. kenkenses sp. nov. from the northern Nama Karoo, and P. australis sp. nov. from southern Nama Karoo. As a result, the range of P. maculatus sensu stricto is restricted to the central northern Namib Desert. Furthermore, one new species previously included in P. carpi is named P. sceletus sp. nov. from the Skeleton Coast (northern coastal Namib Desert), thereby restricting the range of P. carpi sensu stricto to a small strip of coastal Namib Desert between the Swakop and Kuiseb rivers. The Namib Desert is the centre of diversity for the genus Ptenopus, containing seven of the nine species including the oldest divergent lineages. Two species-level keys are provided: a morphological key and a unique bioacoustic key to the advertisement calls.

ZooKeys 1258: 35-71, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1258.162797AbstractHypselostomatid microsnails of the genera Clostophis and Acinolaemus from limestone hills in central Thailand were studied and three new species are described. Clostophis rhynchotes Tongkerd & Panha, sp. nov. is diagnosed by a conical spire, long and descending tuba, 14 spiral striations on the last whorl, and only a single parietal lamella. In addition, a previously known species, C. proboscideus, is redescribed, and variations in its apertural dentition are also documented. In the genus Acinolaemus, two new sympatric species that clearly differ in shell shape are described. Acinolaemus rhamphodontis Tongkerd & Panha, sp. nov. is characterised by a depressed conical spire with a long and descending tuba, and eight apertural dentitions, while A. corusticorus Tongkerd & Panha, sp. nov. possesses a conical shell without a tuba and nine apertural dentitions. Specimens from the type locality of A. ptychochilus (the type species), A. cryptidentatus and A. mueangonensis are re-described and compared with the new species. The living snails of A. mueangonensis and A. rhamphodontis Tongkerd & Panha, sp. nov. possess blackish to translucent bodies. In addition, COI barcoding data for Clostophis and Acinolaemus are provided for the first time.

Zootaxa 5673 (1): 1-26, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5673.1.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5673.1.1AbstractThis work describes five new species of Tonnoira Enderlein, namely, T. acantha sp. nov., T. asymmetrica sp. nov., T. sinuosa sp. nov., T. stria sp. nov., and T. wachi sp. nov., increasing the total number of species in this genus to 33. Additionally, T. conistylus Jaume-Schinkel, 2022 is documented for the first time in Panama. COI barcodes are provided for four of these newly described species and for T. fusiformis Quate & Brown, 2004. Molecular species delimitation analyses demonstrate the effectiveness of COI barcodes in identifying and discovering Psychodidae species in the Neotropics. This work highlights the current state of COI barcoding for Tonnoira species, emphasizing the importance of integrating molecular tools with traditional taxonomy to enhance species identification and conservation strategies. These findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of species diversity within this genus and support ongoing biodiversity conservation efforts.

title: Beneath the bark - Complicated taxonomy: Revision of the darkling beetle genus Phrenapates Gray, 1832 (Tenebrionidae: Phrenapatinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Rincon, Angela, Lumen, Ryan, Kamiński, Marcin J., Smith, Aaron D. (2025): Beneath the bark - Complicated taxonomy: Revision of the darkling beetle genus Phrenapates Gray, 1832 (Tenebrionidae: Phrenapatinae). European Journal of Taxonomy 1012: 49-80, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1012.3025, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3025/13587Abstract. A revision of the Neotropical darkling beetle genus Phrenapates Gray, 1832 (Tenebrionidae: Phrenapatinae) is conducted. The genus previously contained six species ranging from Central to South America. Nearly 350 specimens of Phrenapates were examined to define morphology and evaluate previously published species. The genus is redescribed with its taxonomic history and classification summarized. Two new species are described: Phrenapates gilloglyi Rincon & Smith sp. nov. from the Cerro Jefe Mountain located within Cerro Azul, Panama; and Phrenapates fortunaensis Rincon & Smith sp. nov. from the Fortuna Forest Reserve in Panama. A replacement name, Phrenapates erratus Rincon, Lumen & Kamiński nom. nov., is introduced for Phrenapates latreillei Gebien, 1910 to avoid homonymy with Phrenapates latreillei Lacordaire, 1859. Lectotypes are designated for Phrenapates bennettii Gray, 1832, P. dux Gebien, 1910, P. educator Gebien, 1910, P. erratus, P. latreillei, and P. ohausi Gebien, 1910, to stabilize species concepts. Phrenapates mandibularis Gebien 1910 is treated as a junior synonym of Phrenapates latreillei Lacordaire, 1859. As a result, a total of eight species is now recognized (P. bennettii, P. ohausi, P. dux, P. latreillei, P. educator, P. erratus, P. gilloglyi, and P. fortunaensis). Distribution maps and a key to the species of Phrenapates are provided. Dissections confirmed that unlike most other Tenebrionidae, female Phrenapates lack well-sclerotized ovipositors, with only coxite 4 and paraproct remaining for oviposition. This reduction is potentially attributed to their unusual life history, as Phrenapates live in subsocial colonies inside dead wood and may not need to inject eggs into substrate.
