title: Description of three new species of Wormaldia McLachlan, 1865 from Vietnam (Trichoptera: Philopotamidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Johanson, Kjell Arne, Pham, Hong-Thai (2025): Description of three new species of Wormaldia McLachlan, 1865 from Vietnam (Trichoptera: Philopotamidae). European Journal of Taxonomy 1007: 24-34, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1007.2991, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2991/13451Abstract. Three previously unknown species of Wormaldia McLachlan, 1865 are herein described from the Cao Bang Province, N Nui Pia Oac Nature Reserve, located in northern Vietnam: Wormaldia piadenensis sp. nov., Wormaldia nui sp. nov., and Wormaldia caobangensis sp. nov. These species are considered rare and encountered either as singletons or as a pair. The specimens were collected in 2012 using Malaise traps and light traps, which were strategically positioned along stream banks. Additionally, a key for the identification of the male individuals of the 19 known species of Wormaldia in Vietnam is provided.

title: Taxonomic revision on the Gobio group in the Yellow River drainage, with discussion on the validity of the genus Acanthogobio (Cypriniformes, Gobionidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Fang, Yutian, Sun, Zhixian, Zhao, Yahui (2025): Taxonomic revision on the Gobio group in the Yellow River drainage, with discussion on the validity of the genus Acanthogobio (Cypriniformes, Gobionidae). Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (2): 661-679, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.144134AbstractThe Yellow River drainage is a biodiversity hotspot for the Gobio group, but no one has yet reviewed these species systematically. This study examined the type specimens of the species in the Gobio group and numerous newly captured specimens in the Yellow River drainage for an overall morphological comparison. A phylogenetic tree of those species based on mitochondrial cytochrome- b sequences was also constructed. Our results indicate the presence of four species, i. e., Gobio guentheri (this was described as Acanthogobio guentheri), G. rivuloides, G. coriparoides, and G. huanghensis. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses indicated that G. tchangi is a junior synonym of G. huanghensis, while G. meridionalis is a junior synonym of G. rivuloides. Additionally, the phylogenetic analysis showed that the genus Acanthogobio is nested within Gobio. In order to maintain the monophyly of Gobio, this study suggests that the genus Acanthogobio should be a junior synonym of Gobio, and the type species A. guentheri should be treated as Gobio guentheri. Furthermore, the type specimens of Romanogobio johntreadwelli and R. amplexilabris were checked, and this study confirmed that these two species are junior synonyms of G. rivuloides. Therefore, the genus Romanogobio is not distributed in the Yellow River drainage. The Gobio species are primarily distributed in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River drainage, from Qushian Township, Qinghai Province, to Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, at an average elevation above 300 meters. A diagnostic key for four valid Gobio species in the Yellow River drainage is provided.

Aricidea (Acmira) blackei sp. nov. is characterized by having a short, digitiform antenna with a discrete swollen base; by possessing notopodial postchaetal lobes in prebranchial and branchial region, changing gradually in size and shape from the first two chaetigers to the last pair of branchiae; last pair of branchiae being shorter than the rest; and by having curved hooks with a very strong hood and a fragile arista. Paradoneis mackiei sp. nov. is characterized by the presence of lyrate notochaetae with tines of different thickness along body, showing an evident increament in size from anterior to posterior end. Identification keys to all species of Aricidea (Acmira) and Paradoneis are included.

Journal of Hymenoptera Research 98: 19-45, DOI: 10.3897/jhr.98.137806AbstractMiracinae is a poorly known and rarely collected subfamily of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Braconidae.

The barcoding region of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene was obtained for each new species and analysed alongside all publicly available COI DNA barcodes for Miracinae on the Barcode of Life Database, to produce a molecular framework to guide species delimitation and efficient morphological examination. Full morphological descriptions are provided along with high quality images for each new species. A key to described Australian Miracinae is provided.

title: Lost in synonymy: Integrative species delimitation reveals two unrecognized species of Southern Asian tree squirrels (Rodentia: Sciuridae: Callosciurinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hinckley, Arlo, Maldonado, Jesús E., Tamura, Noriko, Leonard, Jennifer A., Hawkins, Melissa T. R. (2024): Lost in synonymy: Integrative species delimitation reveals two unrecognized species of Southern Asian tree squirrels (Rodentia: Sciuridae: Callosciurinae). Vertebrate Zoology 74: 683-707, DOI: 10.3897/vz.74.e133467AbstractWe present a comprehensive integrative taxonomic review of Callosciurus caniceps and Tamiops mcclellandii as they are currently defined. This review combines published molecular evidence, craniodental morphometrics, pelage and bacular variation, evaluations of potential hybrid zones using museum specimens and citizen science photographs, and, for C. caniceps, bioacoustic evidence. Our findings lead to the recognition of two species that had been lost in synonymy and highlight future perspectives on species delimitation in Sciuridae. By comparing phenotypic differentiation across climatic and vegetation transitions and contextualizing our results with the evolutionary history of our study systems, we provide insights into distribution, ecogeographical patterns, and speciation drivers in Southeast Asian vertebrates.

ZooKeys 1217: 273-290, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1217.126602AbstractThe poorly known leafhopper species described as Deltocephalus (Laevicephalus) concinnus var. incisurus DeLong, 1926 previously had no accepted generic placement. It is here redescribed and placed in Boreolimnus gen. nov. in the tribe Paralimnini, as Boreolimnus incisurus (DeLong) comb. nov. Cribrus micmac Hamilton, 1987 is a junior syn. nov. of B. incisurus. Due to historic confusion, the species currently placed in Cribrus Oman, 1949 were also reviewed. Cribrus concinnus (Sanders & DeLong, 1917) is redescribed, and a lectotype is designated to clarify the application of the name. Deltocephalus plagus Ball & DeLong, 1926 and Laevicephalus shingwauki Beamer & Tuthill, 1934 are recognized as junior syn. nov. of C. concinnus, now the only recognized species in the genus.

title: New cave species of Cyphoderus Nicolet and Pararrhopalites Bonet & Tellez (Hexapoda, Collembola) from Caatinga biome, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Souza, Paolla Gabryelle Cavalcante De, Medeiros, Gleyce Da Silva, Bento, Diego De Medeiros, Zeppelini, Douglas, Bellini, Bruno Cavalcante (2024): New cave species of Cyphoderus Nicolet and Pararrhopalites Bonet & Tellez (Hexapoda, Collembola) from Caatinga biome, Brazil. Zootaxa 5474 (3): 201-224, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5474.3.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5474.3.1AbstractIn recent years, surveys have revealed a high diversity of troglophilic and troglobitic species of Brazilian Collembola, mainly represented by the Entomobryidae and Sminthuridae, which hold some representative genera in Brazilian caves such as Cyphoderus Nicolet and Pararrhopalites Bonet & Tellez. Here we describe in detail two new species of these genera sampled from caves of the semiarid region of Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil. Cyphoderus caatinguensis sp. nov. is similar to other Neotropical species of the tridenticulati group, but it is unique by the combination of labial chaetotaxy, ungues with a filamentous apical tooth and number of feathered chaetae on the dorsal face of the dens. Pararrhopalites iataganii sp. nov. differs from other Neotropical species of the genus especially by the number of subsegments of the fourth antennomere, number of cephalic spines, manubrium chaetotaxy and ventral dens formula. Recognition of these species enhances our understanding of the subterranean fauna in the Neotropics, and their identification may support future conservation policies for caves of the Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil.
