title: Philcoxia rhizomatosa (Gratioleae, Plantaginaceae): a new carnivorous species from Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Scatigna, André Vito, Souza, Vinicius Castro, Pereira, Caio Guilherme, Sartori, Marcos Aurélio, Simões, André Olmos (2015): Philcoxia rhizomatosa (Gratioleae, Plantaginaceae): a new carnivorous species from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Phytotaxa 226 (3): 275-280, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.226.3.8, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.226.3.8AbstractPhilcoxia rhizomatosa, a new species of the carnivorous genus Philcoxia from tribe Gratioleae (Plantaginaceae), is here described and illustrated. The species has larger leaves than the other members of the genus, presents a conspicuous and branched rhizome and is the only one with entirely glabrous inflorescence, pedicel and calyx. This taxon is possibly endemic to a sandy outcrop in the transition vegetation between the Cerrado and the Caatinga in the municipality of Botumirim, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Preliminary tests for carnivory were performed and showed the presence of nematodes and activity of phosphatase on leaf surfaces, suggesting that P. rhizomatosa is a carnivorous plant.

title: Calcarisporium yuanyangense sp. nov. (Calcarisporiaceae, Hypocreales), a fungal pathogen isolated from Ophiocordyceps nutans

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zhu, Juye, Tang, Dexiang, Liu, Zuoheng, Luo, Lijun, Yu, Hong (2023): Calcarisporium yuanyangense sp. nov. (Calcarisporiaceae, Hypocreales), a fungal pathogen isolated from Ophiocordyceps nutans. Phytotaxa 612 (3): 272-282, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.612.3.3, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.612.3.3AbstractIn this study, a new species, Calcarisporium yuanyangense, was isolated from Ophiocordyceps nutans collected from Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province, China, and described by morphology and molecular phylogeny. Based on the combined dataset of five genes including the internal transcribed spacer gene region (ITS), the nuclear ribosomal small and large subunit gene regions (nrSSU and nrLSU), the gene encoding translation elongation factor 1-α (tef-1α), and the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit gene region (rpb2), phylogenetic analyses were performed by the maximum likelihood (ML) and the Bayesian inference (BI) methods to determine the phylogenetic position of C. yuanyangense in Calcarisporium. This species was clustered with C. cordycipiticola, C. xylariicola, and C. arbuscula to form a separate branch. Calcarisporium yuanyangense had the basic morphological characteristics of Calcarisporium, but still differed morphologically from the other species in the genus. This species was similar to C. arbuscula in conidia shape, but the conidia of C. yuanyangense were larger and had a higher length/width ratio than those of C. arbuscula. This study deepens the understanding of the host diversity and the distribution of this taxonomic unit, as well as provides important taxonomic data for further exploration of the genus Calcarisporium.

title: Description of Trichophoromyia macrisae, a new phlebotomine sand fly species (Diptera: Psychodidae) from Manu Biosphere Reserve, Peru

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Méndez-Cardona, Sergio, Cabrera-Quintero, Olga L. (2024): Description of Trichophoromyia macrisae, a new phlebotomine sand fly species (Diptera: Psychodidae) from Manu Biosphere Reserve, Peru. Zootaxa 5537 (3): 431-438, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5537.3.9, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5537.3.9AbstractPhlebotomine sand flies are a highly diverse group of insects capable of transmitting Leishmania parasites. Therefore, the identification of vector species is important to understand local leishmaniasis dynamics. Among the Neotropical sand fly species, the genus Trichophoromyia is predominantly found in the Amazon. A new species of this genus, Trichophoromyia macrisae sp. nov., is described. Specimens were collected using Katchy light traps in forested areas of Manu Biological Station, located within the Manu Biosphere Reserve, in southern Peru. Morphological description was based on 10 male specimens. The disposition of setae in the gonocoxite and the shape of the paramere allows Th. macrisae sp. nov. to be distinguished from other species of genus that have aedeagal ducts&gt; 4 times the length of the sperm pump. The description of Th. macrisae sp. nov. brings the number of species of Trichophoromyia in the Americas to 47 and in Peru to 15.

title: A review of Apis mellifera caucasica (Hym., Apidae): History, taxonomy and distribution

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Janashia, Irakli, Westover, Layne, Japoshvili, George (2025): A review of Apis mellifera caucasica (Hym., Apidae): History, taxonomy and distribution.

The taxonomic status and placement of the Caucasian honey bee (Apis mellifera caucasica Gorbachev, 1916) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) remains puzzling, largely based on outdated investigations. After reviewing available scientific sources, we conclude that initially there was a confusing mismatch between the traditional geographical understanding of the Caucasus and the actual distribution of A. m. caucasica. Insufficient geographic sampling of honeybees across the Caucasus, a statistically inadequate number of studied samples, and incomplete research methodology are major drawbacks of previous studies. Morphometric reference data derived from an extremely limited number of samples still is in use as a standard for the identification of A. m. caucasica. It is highly probable, that this standard does not reflect true morphometric diversity, covering natural geographical variations, which most importantly hinder preservation or breeding efforts. To resolve these deficits, honeybees of the Caucasus and adjacent regions need to be studied in more detail with greater depth of sampling. A thorough study, using modern morphometric approaches and molecular genetic methods, is needed to characterize A. m. caucasica and produce a statistically robust dataset for due reconsideration of its taxonomic status and placement.Keywords: Caucasian grey honeybee, Georgian honeybee, mountain grey, SakartveloReceived: September 24, 2024Accepted: February 07, 2025Published: March 18, 2025Subject Editor: Najmeh Sahebzadeh Citation: Janashia, I., Westover, L. & Japoshvili, G.

A detailed comparison between the newly discovered orchid and other members of Liparis was performed. This new plant is characterized by an obovate lip and is trilobed. The sidelobes are semiorbicular and fleshy, and the midlobe is short and bilobed with triangular lobes. The disc has a deeply bilobed basal callus and two longitudinal lamellae from the base extending to above the middle. There are four pollinia in two pairs, with each pair exhibiting long caudicles without a viscidium. The rostellum also has a bursa synovialis. These features distinguish this new orchid from all other known species of Liparis. A phylogenetic analysis was subsequently performed to determine the systematic position of this enigmatic species. A molecular study based on nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid matK DNA sequence data indicates that L. funingensis is a member of L. layardii subclade.

Phytotaxa 538 (2): 87-99, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.538.2.1AbstractThis study investigates morphological and genetic diversity in Rhodocybe mellea, after a new record of this species in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Phylogenetic analysis of molecular data (nrITS and nrLSU) and pairwise genetic distances, provide support for the recognition of cryptic lineages within R. mellea co-occurring in the Neotropics. We propose Rhodocybe mellea var. depressa as morphologically characterized by its depressed pileus, conspicuous sclerobasidia, small flexuouscylindrical pseudocystidia, and a smooth cutis pileipellis. In addition, we also determine the position of nrITS sequences of some sclerotium-forming fungi collected in the same area, and confirm the genus Rhodocybe as a producer of this survival structure. Our findings provide unique information on Rhodocybe in South America, and highlight the relevance of approaches that address fine-scale diversity for fungal taxonomy.

Bowkerianae (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae-Ceropegieae-Stapeliinae), C. stylesii, is described from Ngome in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This new species is vegetatively similar to C. gerrardii. The rotate non-trapping flowers of C. stylesii superficially appear to be miniature versions of a dark-flowered form of C. gerrardii, with which it is sympatric. Ceropegia stylesii is exceptionally rare with fewer than 10 individuals observed at two localities; its habitat is under anthropogenic threat. Ceropegia stylesii is considered as Critically Endangered (CR) according to IUCN criteria.

Albatrellus is reported here for the first time from Thailand, with macro- and micromorphological descriptions and supporting illustrations. Molecular analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) confirmed that our collection is closely related to Albatrellus subrubescens, but genetic distances suggest that it could be a new species. More collections are needed from Thailand or neighboring countries to firmly establish its taxonomic identity. DNA sequencing of ectomycorrhized root tips, with both ITS (to identify the fungal partner) and psbA-trnH (to identify the plant partner) demonstrated that Pinus kesiya was the ectomycorrhizal host of the Thai collection of Albatrellus.
