title: Treachery pigmentation pattern leads to misidentification: Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), Tapinoma pygmaeum (Dufour) and Tapinoma jandai sp. nov. (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Seifert, Bernhard (2025): Treachery pigmentation pattern leads to misidentification: Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), Tapinoma pygmaeum (Dufour) and Tapinoma jandai sp. nov. (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). Contributions to Entomology 75 (2): 245-252, DOI: 10.3897/contrib.entomol.75.e154879AbstractDiscrete color morphs of ants, in the case reported here morphs with whitish versus blackish gaster pigmentation, may be misinterpreted as different species. This became clear in a morphometric study including 91 worker individuals of Tapinoma jandai sp. nov., Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius, 1793) and Tapinoma pygmaeum (Dufour, 1857). The three species are clearly separable by a principal component analysis of 17 morphological characters under exclusion of pigmentation characters. This result is confirmed by a clear separation in a linear discriminant analysis with the classification of any specimen being confirmed with posterior probabilities of p&gt; 0.9994. The study showed that just the holotype series of Tapinoma pithecorum Seifert, 2022 is a rare color variant of Tapinoma pygmaeum and consequently the former taxon is a junior synonym of the latter. In contrast, all remaining samples that formed the basis of the description of Tapinoma pithecorum are recognized as an undescribed species which is introduced here as Tapinoma jandai sp. nov. A consideration of 14 taxa of minute species showing similarities to the new species revealed that none of these is suspected of representing a senior synonym of T. jandai sp. nov. and that Tapinoma indicum Forel, 1895 should be transferred to the genus Ravavy Fisher, 2009. Based on examples in Formica, Camponotus, Cardiocondyla and the two cases reported here, it is argued that ant classification by simple color patterns is under increased risk of misclassification.

title: A new species of Aequidens (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) from the rio Paraguai basin, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Oliveira, Rianne Caroline de, Tencatt, Luiz Fernando Caserta, Deprá, Gabriel de Carvalho, Britzke, Ricardo, Oliveira, Claudio, Graça, Weferson Júnio da (2024): A new species of Aequidens (Cichliformes: Cichlidae) from the rio Paraguai basin, Brazil. Neotropical Ichthyology (e 230106) 22 (2): 1-26, DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-2023-0106, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1982-0224-2023-0106Morphological and molecular data support the description of a new Aequidens species from the upper rio Correntes, considered herein as endemic to the upper rio Paraguai basin in the Cerrado biome in Brazil. The new species is distinguished from all congeners, except from A. plagiozonatus by having anteriorly oblique dark brown flank bars vs. vertical flank bars, and is additionally distinguished from some congeners by showing a discontinuous lateral band and presence of a dark cheek spot. The new species differs from Aequidens plagiozonatus by having the profile of the dorsal part of head almost straight (in lateral view), with a conspicuous concavity at the interorbital, and by the longer length of upper and lower jaws. Furthermore, delimitation analyses based on mitochondrial data provide additional support for the validity of the species. Our study data also revealed the occurrence, and consequently the first record, of A. plagiozonatus in the upper rio Araguaia basin, which was most likely driven by headwater capture events.

title: Petalidium konkiepense (Acanthaceae), a new species from Namibia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Swanepoel, Wessel, Van Wyk, Abraham E. (2023): Petalidium konkiepense (Acanthaceae), a new species from Namibia. Phytotaxa 585 (1): 29-38, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.585.1.3, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.585.1.3AbstractPetalidium konkiepense, here described as a new species, is only known from the Gariep Centre of Plant Endemism in southern Namibia, where it grows on arid hillsides and along drainage lines. Diagnostic morphological characters for P. konkiepense include the rigid, cylindrical distal stems (quadrangular when young), grey or dark brownish grey bark (white to cream when young), densely puberulent vegetative parts with widely spaced robust glandular and eglandular trichomes, and the oblanceolate leaves with prominent midrib and principal lateral veins. A comparison of some of the more prominent features to differentiate Petalidium konkiepense from its morphologically most similar relatives, P. linifolium and P. cymbiforme, is provided. Based on IUCN Red List categories and criteria, a conservation assessment of Endangered under criteria B 1 is recommended for the new species.

title: A ‘ little dragon’ from Kunming City: a new green pit viper from Yunnan Province, China (Squamata, Viperidae, Trimeresurus)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Xu, Yuhao, Deng, Jundong, Zhang, Tierui, Nguyen, Tan Van, Weng, Shiyang, Poyarkov, Nikolay A., Vogel, Gernot, Sun, Fanyue, Liao, Chencan, Peng, Lifang (2025): A ‘ little dragon’ from Kunming City: a new green pit viper from Yunnan Province, China (Squamata, Viperidae, Trimeresurus). Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (4): 2267-2293, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.175879AbstractA new species of the genus Trimeresurus Lacépède is described from Kunming City, Yunnan Province, China, based on an integrative analysis of morphological and molecular data. The new species, Trimeresurus loong sp. nov., is assigned to the subgenus Viridovipera Malhotra & Thorpe and can be distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: the first supralabial completely separated from the nasal scale; a short and spinose hemipenis; moderate adult body size; dorsal scales in 19 (21 or 23) - 19-15 rows; 150–151 ventral scales in males, and 157–158 in females; 67–68 subcaudals in males, and 57–64 in females; and distinct body color patterns. Molecular analyses based on the mitochondrial 16 S, cyt b, and ND 4 gene fragments indicate that Trimeresurus loong sp. nov. is genetically divergent from all currently recognized congeners, showing uncorrected p - distances ranging from 6.7–11.2 % in cyt b and 6.1–8.3 % in ND 4. The discovery of this species brings the total number of recognized Trimeresurus species to 57, including nine recorded from Yunnan Province, further emphasizing the complex topography and exceptional level of endemism.

title: Cyperus kilelai (Cyperaceae), a new species from a thermal spring in Katanga (Democratic Republic of the Congo)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mesterházy, Attila, Reynders, Marc, Ngoy Shutcha, Mylor (2024): Cyperus kilelai (Cyperaceae), a new species from a thermal spring in Katanga (Democratic Republic of the Congo). Plant Ecology and Evolution 157 (3): 336-342, DOI: 10.5091/plecevo.127131AbstractBackground – During field work performed in 2018 by the University of Lubumbashi in the Katanga region of D. R. Congo, a peculiar Cyperus species was discovered at the edges of a thermal spring in the southwest corner of the Upemba graben, near the city of Luena.Material and methods – Herbarium material from the collected plant was studied and used as a basis for illustrations and a SEM study of the nutlets. A preliminary IUCN Red List assessment was performed according to the IUCN Guidelines and Criteria.Results – Cyperus kilelai, a new species from Katanga in D. R. Congo, is described and illustrated. This small tussocky species is characterised by weakly 3–4 angled dimerous nutlets with stigma branches in ad- and abaxial positions and glumes of 2.5–3.2 mm long. It is currently only known from its type location. Thermal springs in this region are of interest for the development of geothermal power plants in the near future. Based on the restricted area, a small population size, and a plausible future threat, the conservation status of this species is preliminarily assessed as Vulnerable.

So far, no study has compared specimens of all these distinct drainages focusing on understanding whether all these populations truly belong to a single species or may consist instead in a species complex. Our study focused on investigating the intraspecific variation within Leporinus tigrinus using morphological and molecular data. Both morphology and molecular analyses support that all samples belong to a single species widespread in the rio Araguaia, rio Tocantins, rio Xingu and rio Tapajós. In addition, the population occurring at upper rio Paraná is considered to be allochthonous, originating from the rio Araguaia/ Tocantins. A comprehensive morphological description of the species, including osteological illustrations and descriptions are provided, as well as a comparative diagnosis with similar-looking species.

title: A new duck (Aves: Anatidae) from the Upper Pleistocene of Cuba

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zelenkov, Nikita (2025): A new duck (Aves: Anatidae) from the Upper Pleistocene of Cuba. Zootaxa 5633 (1): 139-150, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5633.1.7, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5633.1.7AbstractThe past diversity and evolutionary history of ducks (Aves: Anseriformes: Anatidae) in the West Indies are almost unknown, as these birds are extremely rare in the fossil record of the region. This paper describes a complete humerus from Late Pleistocene strata of El Abrón Cave in Western Cuba, which is only the third find of fossil anseriform birds on the island. This fossil duck represents an extinct form, here described as a new species of the genus Amazonetta, with its closest living taxon being the South American Brazilian teal A. brasiliensis. This find for the first time indicates a wider distribution of Amazonetta ducks in the Late Quaternary and, along with other extinct Cuban birds, illustrates the possibly greater influence of the South American avian fauna on the taxonomic composition of Greater Antillean bird communities prior to the Holocene extinction.

PhytoKeys 253: 177-187, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.253.147019AbstractOhwia luteola (H. Ohashi & T. Nemoto) H. Ohashi is only known from one collection in Yunnan Province, China. It has not been recollected since its last collection in 1972. Here, we report the rediscovery of the species that means the first new record in Hunan Province, China. Based on fresh material, we present a revised morphological description of O. luteola and conducted sequencing and assembly of the plastid genome. Morphologically, O. luteola is similar to O. caudata, but the former can be easily distinguished by leaflets length / width ratio ranging from 2.5 to 3.6, leaflets apex acute (with an angle of 50 ° – 80 °), terminal inflorescences, wings distinctly auriculate at base and inner side indistinctly rugose, and hilum center not over 3 / 5 length of seed. Molecular phylogenetic analysis confirmed O. luteola is sister to O. caudata.
