title: New records of Dasycladales (green algae) from the Aptian-Albian Langshan Formation of Tibet

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sun, Qi, Schlagintweit, Felix, Li, Xianghui (2025): New records of Dasycladales (green algae) from the Aptian-Albian Langshan Formation of Tibet. Comptes Rendus Palevol 24 (20): 381-395, DOI: 10.5852/cr-palevol2025v24a20, URL: https://doi.org/10.5852/cr-palevol2025v24a20ABSTRACTLittle is known about the microflora of the shallow-marine carbonates of the Aptian-Albian Langshan Formation of Tibet. From two sections, the species Similiclypeina langshanensis sp. nov., Morelletpora turgida (Radoičić, 1975 non 1965), Salpingoporella sp., Bakalovaella xizangensis (Mu, 1986) comb. nov., and Bakalovaella elitzae (Bakalova) are described. The Aptian and Albian age of the studied sections is evidenced by the occurrence of orbitolinid foraminifera. Like the non-orbitolinid benthic foraminifera, the Tibetan Lower Cretaceous Dasycladales also display poorly diversified assemblages compared to western and central Neotethys time-equivalent occurrences (Urgonian-type carbonates).

title: A never-ending story: updated 3 D cyber-taxonomic revision of the ant genus Zasphinctus Wheeler (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Dorylinae) for the Afrotropical region

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hita Garcia, Francisco, Gómez, Kiko, Keller, Roberto A., Schurian, Bernhard, Economo, Evan P. (2025): A never-ending story: updated 3 D cyber-taxonomic revision of the ant genus Zasphinctus Wheeler (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Dorylinae) for the Afrotropical region. ZooKeys 1223: 1-55, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1223.131238AbstractThe ant genus Zasphinctus are fascinating ants due to their distinctive morphology, ecology, and rarity. In this study, a comprehensive revision of Zasphinctus in the Afrotropical region is presented, through a combination of morphological examination under the light microscope and three-dimensional (3 D) cyber-taxonomy based on microtomography (micro-CT). Micro-CT based 3 D surface models of all species were used for virtual morphological visualisation and examination. The 3 D models were virtually visualised, rotated, scaled, and dissected in order to obtain the best shape data for whole specimens or individual body parts. This approach offered a greatly improved character evaluation, allowing the development of an updated taxonomic species delimitation system for the genus. Our revision recognises eight worker-based species, of which three were previously known and five are newly described in this study. Furthermore, based on distinctive morphological differences, two species groups are also proposed. The Z. obamai group includes the species Z. obamai Hita Garcia, 2017 (Kenya), Z. lumumbai Hita Garcia & Gómez, sp. nov. (Democratic Republic of Congo), and Z. wilsoni Hita Garcia, 2017 (Mozambique) while the Z. sarowiwai group contains Z. aprilia Hita Garcia & Gómez, sp. nov. (Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda), Z. kouakoui Hita Garcia & Gómez, sp. nov. (Ivory Coast), Z. lolae Hita Garcia & Gómez sp. nov. (Ghana), Z. ndouri Hita Garcia & Gómez, sp. nov. (Senegal), and Z. sarowiwai Hita Garcia, 2017 (Cameroon). All species are easily distinguishable through a comprehensive character matrix illustrated by numerous diagnostic illustrations, as well as a traditional dichotomous identification key.

title: A taxonomic revision of the genus Goniogryllus in China (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Gryllinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Guo, Yu-Jiao, An, Shuang-Qi, Fang, Zhen-Gui, Wei, Shu-Fei, Shen, Zi-Hao, Chen, Zhao-Yang, He, Zhu-Qing (2024): A taxonomic revision of the genus Goniogryllus in China (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Gryllinae). Arthropod Systematics & amp; Phylogeny 82: 567-584, DOI: 10.3897/asp.82.e108699AbstractSpecies belonging to the genus Goniogryllus Chopard, 1936 are primarily identified based on their morphological characteristics. However, male genitalia provide limited features for classification. In this study, we sequenced the COI gene from 49 samples, and reconstructed a phylogenetic tree. Species were classified by a combination of molecular and morphological data, and some morphological features were re-evaluated. The results indicate that the presence or absence of pubescence on the thorax and abdomen, yellow stripes on the head with or without bifurcation, and the color of the maxillary palpus are interspecific differences. The classification based on these morphological features are consistent with the classification based on COI gene. In contrast, variations in the color of the hind femur, pronotum, and the number of dorsal spurs on the hind tibia are considered to be intraspecific variations. Additionally, Qingryllus striofemorus Chen & Zheng, 1995 and Q. jiguanshanensis Liu, Zhang & Shi, 2017 are recognized as the long-wing forms of G. ovalatus Chen & Zheng, 1996. Therefore, Qingryllus Chen & Zheng, 1995 syn. is a junior synonym of Goniogryllus. Q. striofemorus syn. nov. and Q. jiguanshanensis syn. nov. are junior synonyms of G. ovalatus. Furthermore, G. cirilinearis Xie, 2005 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of G. atripalpulus Chen & Zheng, 1996. G. octospinatus Chen & Zheng, 1995 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of G. chongqingensis Chen & Zheng, 1995. Lastly, Callogryllus yunnanus Wu & Zheng, 1992 is transferred to the genus Goniogryllus, as Goniogryllus yunnanus comb. nov.

title: Balclutha jafara (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): integrative identification of a species introduced in the Western Hemisphere, and notes on other Balclutha

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zahniser, James N., Halbert, Susan E., Moore, Matthew R., Mottern, Jason L., Beuzelin, Julien M. (2023): Balclutha jafara (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): integrative identification of a species introduced in the Western Hemisphere, and notes on other Balclutha. Zootaxa 5361 (4): 526-554, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5361.4.4, URL: https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/download/zootaxa.5361.4.4/52209AbstractLeafhopper specimens of the genus Balclutha Kirkaldy, found in southern Florida (Palm Beach and Collier Counties), United States, beginning in 2020, and in shipments of plant products originating from Colombia and entering the United States beginning in 2019, are identified as B. jafara Webb. This species was previously known only from the Seychelles and Aldabra Islands, which are parts of the Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean east of mainland Africa. Identifications were made by comparison with type specimens, both morphologically and through molecular analysis. Specimens in Palm Beach Co. were swept from commercial rice (Oryza sativa L.) paddies. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) barcodes of specimens from Florida and Colombia were closely matched to each other and to partial barcodes obtained from paratype specimens of B. jafara. The COI barcodes also closely matched sequences from previously unidentified Balclutha specimens in the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) from Kenya and South Africa, several of which were confirmed later morphologically as B. jafara. Previously unidentified museum specimens from South Sudan, Zambia, and Zimbabwe were determined as B. jafara. Together, these specimens show that B. jafara has a more widespread African distribution than was known previously, and that it arrived in the Western Hemisphere by 2019. Balclutha jafara is redescribed and illustrated. Further studies on the Balclutha fauna of Florida were performed. COI barcode data were generated for Floridian specimens of B. caldwelli Blocker, B. curvata Caldwell, B. flavescens (Baker), B. frontalis (Ferrari), B. incisa (Matsumura), and B. lucida (Butler). A phylogenetic analysis of COI data was conducted using publicly available sequences and those generated here. A key to the Balclutha species known from Florida is provided. The names that have been applied and mis-applied to Western Hemisphere species are discussed. To clarify the identity of some species, illustrations are given for: the female holotype and a male paratype of Eugnathodus virescens Osborn (= B. flavescens); the holotype of Nesosteles robustus Caldwell (= B. robusta); and the holotype of Balclutha curvata Caldwell. Additional barcoded specimens of Balclutha from Kenya and Pakistan were provided for examination by the BOLD research group and determined as B. sujawalensis Ahmed, previously known only from India and Pakistan, and this species is also illustrated here.

title: Lycosa Latreille, 1804 (Araneae, Lycosidae) of Israel, with a note on Geolycosa Montgomery, 1904

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Steinpress, Igor Armiach, Cohen, Mira, Pétillon, Julien, Chipman, Ariel D., Gavish-Regev, Efrat (2022): Lycosa Latreille, 1804 (Araneae, Lycosidae) of Israel, with a note on Geolycosa Montgomery, 1904. European Journal of Taxonomy 832 (1): 1-54, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.832.1877, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2022.832.1877Abstract. Lycosa (Araneae, Lycosidae) is a wolf spider genus typical of subtropical latitudes in the western Palearctic. Despite being erected over 200 years ago, the taxonomy of Lycosa is still unclear. Many species formerly ascribed to it are currently being moved to other genera, while new species are still being described. The species of Lycosa of the western Mediterranean basin are relatively well known, yet the Levantine region, the easternmost part of the Mediterranean basin, has not received much attention since the early 20 th century. Here, we study Lycosa from the southern Levant using morphological, molecular and behavioral characteristics, to delimit the species found in this region. We describe two new species: L. hyraculus sp. nov. and L. gesserit sp. nov. We re-describe the widespread and polymorphic species, Lycosa piochardi Simon, 1876. Lycosa piochardi infraclara Strand, 1913 is synonymized with Lycosa piochardi. By adding novel data to the molecular phylogeny of Lycosa created by Planas et al. (2013) and re-analyzing it, we explore the relationship of the Levantine species to other Mediterranean species of Lycosa. We discuss habitat preferences of the two species of Lycosa. Additionally, we report the burrowing species Geolycosa vultuosa (C.L. Koch, 1838) as a new record to Israel, thus extending the distribution of this species and genus into the Levant.

title: Integrative taxonomy reveals exceptional species diversity of Lucasioides from China (Isopoda: Oniscidea: Agnaridae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Wang, Jin, Yao, Chong-Hui, Jiang, Chao, Li, Wei-Chun (2024): Integrative taxonomy reveals exceptional species diversity of Lucasioides from China (Isopoda: Oniscidea: Agnaridae). Arthropod Systematics & amp; Phylogeny 82: 527-549, DOI: 10.3897/asp.82.e113041AbstractThe genus Lucasioides Kwon, 1993 (Isopoda: Oniscidea: Agnaridae) occurs in Asia, but confined only to China, Japan, Korea, and Russian Siberia. The ambiguously morphological differences among some members of the genus make a dilemma: the species recognition, whether morphologically similar or different, is uncertain. In this paper, we present first morphometric and molecular data for the genus from a broad sample. DNA sequences (mitochondrial COI, nuclear 18 S rRNA, 28 S rRNA, and NaK) were generated and integrated with morphological evidence to reveal the cryptic species and delimit the new species within the genus. Seven species are described as new to science: Lucasioides digitatus sp. nov., L. dissectus sp. nov., L. dianensis sp. nov., L. formosus sp. nov., L. gracilentus sp. nov., L. schmidti sp. nov. and L. subcurvatus sp. nov. To date, Lucasioides species from China are 44.4 % as many as all the known congeners worldwide, showing the exceptional species diversity of Lucasioides species from China. The results demonstrate that the integrative taxonomy is especially important to reveal the cryptic species among the high morphological similarity of taxa, as well as providing an effective way for species identification to accelerate the exploration of woodlice biodiversity.

title: New insights into diversity and evolution of the Oriental antlion genus Layahima Navás, 1912 (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae), with description of new species and new larvae from China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zheng, Yuchen, Tu, Yuezheng, Badano, Davide, Liu, Xingyue (2025): New insights into diversity and evolution of the Oriental antlion genus Layahima Navás, 1912 (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae), with description of new species and new larvae from China. Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny 83: 543-571, DOI: 10.3897/asp.83.e145082AbstractLayahima Navás, 1912 is the most diverse antlion genus of the tribe Acanthoplectrini (Myrmeleontidae: Dendroleontinae) endemic to the Oriental region, currently comprising 12 species. However, the species diversity of this genus is still far from completely explored, and its larval stage is poorly known. Here, we describe four new species of Layahima, i. e., L. haohani sp. nov., L. qilin sp. nov., L. pixiu sp. nov., and L. zhitengi sp. nov., from Southwest China. Moreover, we describe the larval stages of three Layahima species, i. e., L. chiangi Banks, 1941, L. lhoba Zheng, Badano, Liu, 2023, and L. yangi Wan & Wang, 2006. The precise distribution of L. chiangi, whose type locality was previously unclear, has now been clarified to be exclusively restricted to the Nujiang dry hot river valley around Cawarong, Xizang. The phylogeny of Layahima by adding new species herein reported was inferred based on molecular data. The L. zonata group, once considered monophyletic, was recovered as paraphyletic within Layahima.
