title: Reinstatement of Cyclocarya serrata (Juglandaceae) based on ploidy, morphology, niche and phylogenetics

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Song, Yan-Feng, Liu, Quan-Ru, Yu, Rui-Min, Zhang, Da-Yong, Bai, Wei-Ning (2025): Reinstatement of Cyclocarya serrata (Juglandaceae) based on ploidy, morphology, niche and phylogenetics. PhytoKeys 262: 45-71, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.262.155490AbstractPterocarya serrata C. K. Schneid., originally described in 1912, has long been treated as a synonym of Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinsk. in Plants of the World Online (POWO). Based on an integrative framework combining ploidy determination, morphometric analyses, ecological niche comparisons, and molecular phylogenetics of mixed-ploidy populations, together with extensive herbarium and field investigations, we formally reinstate Pterocarya serrata as a distinct species within the genus Cyclocarya, recognizing three synonyms. Our results reveal clear phenotypic divergence and genetic differentiation between C. serrata and C. paliurus, which have evolved into separate evolutionary lineages. These findings refute the traditional treatment of Cyclocarya as a monotypic genus. Furthermore, we present the first comprehensive morphological descriptions, distribution records, and taxonomic notes for both C. serrata and C. paliurus, thereby advancing the systematic understanding of Cyclocarya.

title: Two new species of Meliola (Meliolales, Sordariomycetes) from Guizhou Province, China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Feng, Yuzhe, Liu, Yuwei, Hongsanan, Sinang, Tarafder, Entaj, Deng, Xiaolu, Yang, Tian, Sun, Jipeng, Wen, Ting-Chi, Zeng, Xiang-Yu, Liu, Fengquan (2025): Two new species of Meliola (Meliolales, Sordariomycetes) from Guizhou Province, China. MycoKeys 122: 223-236, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.122.161471AbstractMeliola is a genus of specialized parasites that grow on the surface of living plant leaves and fruits, potentially impairing host growth, reducing fruit quality and crop yield, and ultimately causing economic losses. In this study, two new species of Meliola from Guizhou Province, China, were identified based on morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses (nrITS, nrLSU, and nrSSU) using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) to clarify their taxonomic placement. The new species, Meliola liboense and M. lindericola, were both found colonizing leaves of Lindera. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree showing the phylogenetic positions of the two new species are provided. These findings enrich the taxonomic diversity of Meliola and contribute valuable morphological and molecular data to improve species delimitation and classification within Meliolaceae.

title: Two new Pleroma species and an updated key: Melastomateae from the Serra da Canastra National Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Romero, Rosana, Pereira Silva, Rodrigo, Guimarães, Paulo José Fernandes (2024): Two new Pleroma species and an updated key: Melastomateae from the Serra da Canastra National Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil. PhytoKeys 247: 11-27, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.247.130040AbstractHere we describe and illustrate Pleroma canastrense sp. nov and Pleroma viscosa sp. nov. two new species of the Melastomateae tribe from Serra da Canastra National Park, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We also provide an updated identification key for the members of the tribe that occur in this Protected Area. Pleroma canastrense sp. nov. has coriaceous leaves, broadly ovate to orbicular leaf blade, entire and adpressed-strigose margin, 11–17 basal acrodromous veins, and flowers with white petals. Pleroma viscosa sp. nov. has the younger branches, both side of the leaf blade, bracteoles, hypanthium, and sepals, densely covered by viscous trichomes, as well as prominent secondary veins on the abaxial surface of the blade. Both species have stamens with a short pedoconnective and an inconspicuous ventral appendage. In addition to the descriptions of new species, we present comments, geographic distribution data, conservation status and images of plants in the field. We recommend that P. canastrense and P. viscosa should be included as of ‘ Least Concern’ (LC) in the IUCN Red List.

title: Small, enigmatic alligatoroid from the Middle Eocene Clarno Formation, John Day Fossil Beds, Oregon

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Stout, Jeremy B., Massonne, Tobias, Samuels, Joshua X., Schubert, Blaine W. (2025): Small, enigmatic alligatoroid from the Middle Eocene Clarno Formation, John Day Fossil Beds, Oregon. Fossil Record 28 (2): 309-319, DOI: 10.3897/fr.28.169148AbstractAlligatoroidea is the crocodylian superfamily that includes extant alligators, caimans and many related extinct taxa. Palaeogene North America offers a rich record of alligatoroid diversity representing more than a dozen forms. The Eocene-aged Hancock Mammal Quarry (HMQ, Clarno Formation, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, central Oregon, USA) has yielded two crocodylian fossils, a right humerus and the anterior portion of a left lower jaw from an unknown alligatoroid. Though fragmentary, discrete morphological traits of the HMQ alligatoroid are shared with several contemporaneous alligatoroids, but the suite of character states is unique. Though its phylogenetic placement is uncertain, the presence of an alligatoroid in north-western North America, along with the biostratigraphic record of other Palaeogene alligatoroids and Asian floral and faunal associations of the HMQ suggest that an Asian origin for the taxon is plausible.

title: New subtribes of Arachnocephalini (Orthoptera: Mogoplistidae) and a new genus and species of this tribe from South Africa

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Gorochov, A. V. (2020): New subtribes of Arachnocephalini (Orthoptera: Mogoplistidae) and a new genus and species of this tribe from South Africa. Zoosystematica Rossica (China) 29 (2): 347-352, DOI: 10.31610/zsr/2020.29.2.347, URL: https://doi.org/10.31610/zsr/2020.29.2.347Abstract. The tribe Arachnocephalini is divided into three subtribes: [1] Pseudomogoplistina subtrib. nov. with one genus lacking ventrolateral lobes on the tarsi and having a massive Y-shaped sclerite in the male genitalia; [2] Bothromogoplistina subtrib. nov. including two genera with similar tarsi but with a different structure of the male genitalia (lacking a Y-shaped sclerite and having a long and thin virga-like sclerotised rachis inside a membranous invagination of the ventral fold); [3] Arachnocephalina Gorochov, 1984 possibly including all the other genera of this tribe (these genera are with a pair of ventrolateral lobes on the second tarsal segment and/or with the male genitalia more or less similar to those of Bothromogoplistina subtrib. nov.). One new genus with one new species (Bothromogoplistes paraproctalis gen. et sp. nov.) are described from a burrow in the arid territory of South Africa. This cricket is probably related to the genera Cycloptiloides Sjöstedt, 1910 and Eucycloptilum Chopard, 1936, but their males differ from each other in the pronotal length, the presence or absence of wings and tympana, and the shape of the paraprocts and genital plate. One species, Cycloptiloides parvum (Chopard, 1961), comb. nov., is transferred from Eucycloptilum to Cycloptiloides.Резюме. Триба Arachnocephalini подразделена на три подтрибы: [1] Pseudomogoplistina subtrib. nov. с одним родом, лишенным вентролатеральных лопастей на лапках и имеющим массивный Y-образный склерит в гениталиях самца; [2] Bothromogoplistina subtrib. nov., включающая два рода с похожими лапками, но с иным строением гениталий самца, которые лишены Y-образного склерита и снабжены очень длинным и тонким склеротизованным рахисом внутри трубчатого впячивания вентральной складки; [3] Arachnocephalina Gorochov, 1984, возможно, включающая все другие роды этой трибы (эти роды с одной парой вентролатеральных лопастей на втором членике лапок и/или с гениталиями самца, более или менее похожими на таковые Bothromogoplistina subtrib. nov.). Один новый род с одним новым видом (Bothromogoplistes paraproctalis gen. et sp. nov.) описаны из норы в аридной зоне Южной Африки. Этот сверчок, вероятно, близок к родам Cycloptiloides Sjöstedt, 1910 и Eucycloptilum Chopard, 1936, но их самцы хорошо различаются длиной переднеспинки, наличием или отсутствием крыльев и тимпанумов, а также формой парапроктов и генитальной пластинки. Один вид – Cycloptiloides parvum (Chopard, 1961), comb. nov. – перенесен из Eucycloptilum в Сycloptiloides.

MycoKeys 124: 275-290, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.124.172775AbstractAspergillus species are of great industrial, agricultural, and medicinal importance. During investigations on the biodiversity of Aspergillaceae, two species of Aspergillus isolated from soil samples in China were identified as new to science based on sequence analyses and morphological comparisons. Aspergillus hebeiensis from a traditional cultural and Buddhist heritage site is the second member of the series Hainanici in section Cavernicolarum of subgenus Nidulantes, while A. xishuangbannaensis from a tropical nature reserve is classified in subgenus Circumdati, section Nigri, series Japonici. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of both species are provided, and the ecological functions of their habitats are also discussed.

title: Dryopteris pycnolepis, a new fern species from northern Vietnam, with miscellaneous notes on Dryopteris sect. Splendentes (Dryopteridaceae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Huang, Jun-Kai, Li, Xiao-Ji, Zhou, Lian-Xuan, Zuo, Zheng-Yu, Dong, Shi-Yong (2025): Dryopteris pycnolepis, a new fern species from northern Vietnam, with miscellaneous notes on Dryopteris sect. Splendentes (Dryopteridaceae). PhytoKeys 263: 1-15, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.263.163351AbstractA new woodfern species, Dryopteris pycnolepis, is described from northern Vietnam. The new species differs mainly in having broadly lanceolate scales (versus ovate-lanceolate) on the stipe and rachis, lateral pinnae with the basal acroscopic pinnules longer than their immediately adjacent pinnules (versus subequal), and fibrillose scales present on both surfaces of pinnules (versus glabrous). Phylogenetic analyses of plastome sequences support both the distinctness of D. pycnolepis as a species and its close affinity to D. sikkimensis. Morphological comparisons and phylogenetic analyses confirm that these two species, together with D. rubrobrunnea and D. splendens, form a small natural group (i. e., sect. Splendentes) within the Dryopteris clade of this genus. It appears to be a replacement species of the Sino-Himalayan D. sikkimensis in northern Vietnam. Section Splendentes is shown to be geographically restricted to the Sino-Himalaya region and northern Vietnam, excluding eastern Asian species previously included in this section. The discrepancy between phylogenetically and morphologically inferred interspecific relationships within sect. Splendentes is highlighted and briefly discussed. The correct authorship of the name D. splendens is noted to be “ (Bedd.) Kuntze. ”

title: Two new species of Szelenyiopria Fabritius (Hymenoptera, Diapriidae), larval koinobiont endoparasitoids of the leaf-cutter ant Acromyrmex coronatus (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), from Panama

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Araúz, Gabriel, Chemyreva, Vasilisa, Ríos, Tomás, Gálvez, Dumas, Cambra, Roberto A., Medianero, Enrique, Wcislo, William T., Fernández-Marín, Hermógenes (2025): Two new species of Szelenyiopria Fabritius (Hymenoptera, Diapriidae), larval koinobiont endoparasitoids of the leaf-cutter ant Acromyrmex coronatus (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), from Panama. ZooKeys 1250: 293-314, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1250.151740AbstractLeaf-cutter ant nests attract a wide variety of guests and parasites due to considerable food resources, substrate and shelter available within nests. Limited information is known about their taxonomy, bionomics, and natural history, including interactions with the ants, and degree of host specificity of these symbionts. Here we describe two new species of Szelenyiopria Fabritius, 1974 (Diapriidae, Diapriinae, Diapriini) wasps which are koinobiont endoparasitoids of the larvae of a leaf-cutter ant, Acromyrmex coronatus (Fabricius, 1804) (Myrmicinae, Attini) in Chiriquí, Panama. For both new Szelenyiopria species, S. fortunensis Araúz & Fernández-Marín, sp. nov. and S. chiriquiensis Araúz & Fernández-Marín, sp. nov., we provide information on parasite – host interactions. The most abundant and frequent parasitoid type was solitary, while gregarious parasitoidism, where two or more wasps emerged from a single ant larva, was associated with certain times of the year. We provide an updated key to females of all species of Szelenyiopria, their geographic distribution, and host – parasite interactions. Szelenyiopria previously had been identified as parasitoids of several ant genera including some Acromyrmex species, but our data indicate that some species of Szelenyiopria may be specialized on A. coronatus ants. Rates of parasitism suggest that the wasps have a negative effect on colonies and populations of the ants.

Zootaxa 5673 (3): 355-384, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5673.3.2, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5673.3.2AbstractA new species of the genus Gonyosoma Wagler is described from Vietnam and Laos, based on an integrative approach combining morphological and molecular evidence. Gonyosoma iadinum sp. nov. is distinguished from its congeners by a unique combination of diagnostic characters. It differs from its morphologically closest relative, Gonyosoma coeruleum Liu, Hou, Lwin, Wang & Rao, in the structure of the cloacal plate and hemipenes, as well as in significant genetic divergence in the cytochrome b (cyt b) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene sequences (p&gt; 8.1%). The new species is currently known from central and southern Vietnam and central and southern Laos, where it has been recorded in montane evergreen forests of the Kon Tum-Gia Lai Plateau and the Langbiang Plateau in Vietnam. In Laos, it has been documented in Khammouan Province and the Bolaven Plateau. The species inhabits elevations ranging from 655 to 1,550 m above sea level. Further studies are required to reassess the taxonomic status of the Gonyosoma prasinum complex, particularly in Hainan Island, China. Based on its known distribution and available data, we suggest that the new species should be classified as Least Concern (LC) under the IUCN Red List criteria. We also provide an updated taxonomic key for the Gonyosoma species.

title: α-Linolenic acid in Papilio machaon larvae regurgitant induces a defensive response in Apiaceae

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Nishidono, Yuto, Niwa, Kotaro, Kitajima, Aoi, Watanabe, Shiro, Tezuka, Yasuhiro, Arita, Masanori, Takabayashi, Junji, Tanaka, Ken (2021): α-Linolenic acid in Papilio machaon larvae regurgitant induces a defensive response in Apiaceae. Phytochemistry (112796) 188: 1-7, DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2021.112796, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.phytochem.2021.112796ABSTRACTPapilio machaon hippocrates C. Felder et R. Felder, 1864 (Papilionidae) larvae are pests of plants of the family Apiaceae. It is unclear whether Apiaceae plants show induced defensive responses against P. machaon hippocrates larvae, and if so, how these responses are induced. Comparison of the fatty acid (FA) composition of the leaves of host plants and the regurgitant of P. machaon hippocrates larvae by LC–MS revealed a great increase in α- linolenic acid (α- LA) in the regurgitant compared with the FAs contained in the leaves. However, specific FA amino acid conjugates, known as elicitor compounds, such as volicitin, were not detected. Sterile host plants (Saposhnikovia divaricata (Turcz.) Schischk., Apiaceae) were treated with α- LA to mimic the damage made by P. machaon hippocrates larvae. After α- LA treatment to leaves, induced defensive reactions, i.e., release of volatile compounds such as α- and β- pinene and camphene (possible induced indirect defense) and the accumulation of specialized metabolites such as (R)-falcarinol and bergapten (possible induced direct defense) were observed. These findings highlight the role of α- LA in the interaction between P. machaon hippocrates larvae and Apiaceae host plants.

Hemiphyllodactylus xiengkhoangensis sp. nov. from Xiengkhouang Province, Laos, is recovered as the sister species to H. banaensis from central Vietnam, while H. yenchauensis sp. nov. from Son La Province, Vietnam, is sister to H. vanhoensis + H. bonkowskii. Both new species are robustly supported and distinguishable from all congeners by unique combinations of morphometric, meristic, and color pattern characters, confirmed through univariate and multivariate analyses. These findings reveal previously unrecognized diversity within the genus in Indochina and underscore the urgent need to assess population status and implement targeted conservation strategies.
