title: The identity of Rhinella mirandaribeiroi (Gallardo, 1965) (Anura: Bufonidae) and its diagnosis in relation to Rhinella granulosa (Spix, 1824)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Moreno, Julian Sebastián Ramirez, Giaretta, Ariovaldo Antonio (2025): The identity of Rhinella mirandaribeiroi (Gallardo, 1965) (Anura: Bufonidae) and its diagnosis in relation to Rhinella granulosa (Spix, 1824). Zootaxa 5588 (1): 105-128, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5588.1.4, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5588.1.4AbstractThe Rhinella granulosa group is composed of 13 species widely distributed in South America and Panama. The richness of the group may be poorly characterized due to limited characterizations caused by a lack of topotype data. This is the case for Rhinella mirandaribeiroi, which lacks topotypical (from Marajó Island, Pará state, Brazil) characterization in terms of acoustics and molecular data, as well as interpopulation variation, considering specimens from the Cerrado, including its junior synonym Bufo granulosus lutzi (Pirapora, Minas Gerais state, Brazil). At the same time, morphological and acoustic differences seem scarce and subtle compared to R. granulosa, a sister species with contiguous distribution areas. Therefore, an integrative taxonomic approach arises as necessary to assess the status of these species and differentiate them. Here, we present morphological data from recently collected topotypes of R. mirandaribeiroi, as well as acoustic and genetic data from this population. We found acoustic, molecular, and morphological evidence that B. g. lutzi and individuals distributed in the Cerrado belong to the same species of R. mirandaribeiroi, maintaining its condition of synonym. We also found that R. granulosa and R. mirandaribeiroi exhibit a conserved phenotype (morphology and acoustics) and that the presence/absence of a clear vertebral line is not a diagnostic character for both named species. However, R. granulosa and R. mirandaribeiroi show a significant genetic distance and therefore should be maintained as valid species until a better understanding of the distribution of both species is achieved.

title: An integrative approach to alpha taxonomy in Erica L. (Ericaceae) with three new species from the Western Cape, South Africa

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hoekstra, Rendert D., Musker, Seth D., Pirie, Michael D., Vlok, Jan H. J. (2025): An integrative approach to alpha taxonomy in Erica L. (Ericaceae) with three new species from the Western Cape, South Africa. PhytoKeys 257: 95-117, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.257.139457AbstractThe megagenus Erica L. (Ericaceae) comprises 851 species across its global distribution, with an extraordinary focus of diversity in the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa where almost 700 species are endemic. The genus is remarkable for both its morphological diversity and the large number of species and subspecific taxa occurring in small populations, often in specialised habitats, putting them at high risk of extinction. Despite significant taxonomic work over the past century, part of this diversity remains undescribed. The sheer size of the genus, its morphological, ecological and geographical variability, and the absence of a modern, consolidated revision make alpha taxonomy challenging. By combining traditional taxonomic methods, standard DNA sequencing methods building on openly available data matrices, and an openly available specialised taxonomic tool for the genus, we present an integrative, reproducible approach to alpha taxonomy in Erica. This approach provided support for the recognition of three new species from the Western Cape in South Africa and aided in ruling out two further putative new species, confirming one as a natural hybrid and the other as a morphological variation within an existing species. We describe the three new species Erica arida R. D. Hoekstra, Erica hessequae R. D. Hoekstra and Erica inopina J. H. J. Vlok.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Li, Jieting, Li, Yi, Li, Jiangrong, Jiang, Ning (2025): Species of Diaporthe (Diaporthaceae, Diaporthales) associated with Alnus nepalensis leaf spot and branch canker diseases in Xizang, China. MycoKeys 116: 185-204, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.116.142750AbstractAlnus nepalensis is an important tree species in the Himalayas with significant ecological and economic roles. During disease surveys in Xizang, China, we observed leaf spot and branch canker symptoms on this tree. Fungal isolates associated with these diseases were collected and identified based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of ITS, cal, his 3, tef 1, and tub 2 sequences. As a result, Diaporthe alnicola sp. nov. and D. amygdali were identified from the leaf spots, while D. linzhiensis was identified to be associated with the cankered branches. This study identifies pathogenic species from alder trees, providing a foundation for future disease management and forest health research.

The new species, representing the first species of the genus to be recorded from the Japanese waters, appears to be close to P. miyai Yeo & Ng, 1997, known from mangroves in Indonesia and the Philippines, among the 16 previously known congeners. The non-setose ventrolateral margin of the carapace, the lack of spiniform setae on the pereopod 5 merus, the simple posterolateral tooth of the uropodal exopod and the overall colouration distinguish P. yamakawai sp. nov. from P. miyai. Genetic analysis using the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene suggests that the new taxon is not conspecific with P. miyai. Specimens of the new species were collected from upstream of tidal limit to estuarine habitats, sometimes inhabiting burrows of other animals.

Fimbristylis longquanensis is similar to F. complanata, but differs in being an annual habit with rhizomes absent, leaves 2–2.5 mm wide, bracts longer than or nearly equal to inflorescence, and nutlets smooth. Fimbristylis minuticulmis is simiar to F. diphylloides, but differs in having culms 2–12 cm tall, much shorter than leaves, spikelets broadly ovoid, obtuse at apex, scales acute at apex, stigmas 2, and nutlets biconvex. Fimbristylis stolonifera var. cylindrica differs from its autonymic variety in having the inflorescence simple, and spikelets cylindrical, 8–15 × 2.5–3 mm.

title: Three new species of Loxosceles Heinecken & Lowe, 1832 (Araneae, Sicariidae) from Brazilian caves

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bertani, Rogério, Bichuette, Maria Elina, Cordeiro, Lívia Medeiros, Gallão, Jonas Eduardo (2024): Three new species of Loxosceles Heinecken & Lowe, 1832 (Araneae, Sicariidae) from Brazilian caves. European Journal of Taxonomy 921 (1): 98-115, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2024.921.2419, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2419/10693Abstract. Three new species of recluse spiders are described from Brazilian caves with both males and females. Loxosceles boqueirao Bertani & Gallão sp. nov. is found in the State of Bahia, in the Serra do Ramalho karst area, it belongs to the rufescens species group, and is closely related to L. cardosoi Bertani, von Schimonsky & Gallão, 2018 and L. carinhanha Bertani, von Schimonsky & Gallão, 2018 from the same karst area. Thus, there are now three species in the Serra do Ramalho karst area closely related, but noticeably distinct morphologically from other species of Loxosceles. Loxosceles planetaria Bertani & Gallão sp. nov. and L. bodoquena Bertani & Gallão sp. nov. are found in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the Serra da Bodoquena karst area. They belong to the gaucho species group and are closely related to L. gaucho Gertsch, 1967. These are the first species of Loxosceles described from this karst area in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Loxosceles boqueirao sp. nov. and L. bodoquena sp. nov. bear some troglomorphisms and are, herein, proposed as troglobitic species, whereas L. planetaria sp. nov. is proposed as a troglophilic species. Brazil has now 22 described species of Loxosceles.

title: Redescription of the rare, deep-sea hyperiidean amphipod Megalanceoloides remipes (K. H. Barnard, 1932) (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Hyperiidea), including the first description of males

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zeidler, Wolfgang (2022): Redescription of the rare, deep-sea hyperiidean amphipod Megalanceoloides remipes (K. H. Barnard, 1932) (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Hyperiidea), including the first description of males. Zootaxa 5094 (2): 341-350, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5094.2.8AbstractMegalanceoloides remipes is a rare deep-sea species known from very few specimens. Until recently (Zeidler 2019) it was known only from the type, an incomplete female, and one other specimen, probably a juvenile female (Vinogradov 1964). Another specimen, an ovigerous female, described by Gasca & Haddock (2016) and compared to the previous two, was later considered to be a new species, M. aequanime Gasca, 2017 (Gasca & Browne 2017). More recently, Williams & Bunkley-Williams (2019) proposed another new species, M. gascae, for the specimen described by Vinogradov (1964). Thus, a redescription of M. remipes is still required, especially in light of the two new species proposed by these authors. The recent discovery of several specimens of M. remipes, including both sexes, in the USNM (Zeidler 2019) has now made it possible to provide a detailed redescription of the species, together with the first description of males, enabling a better comparison with M. aequanime and M. gascae.

Hyalella cuyana n. sp. differs morphologically from its stygobiont congeners by characters of antennae (both antennae subequal in size; aesthetascs elongated); coxal plate 4 (posteriorly without excavation); epimeral plates 1–3 (rounded posterodistally); male gnathopod 2 propodus (almond-shaped, ovate, palm slope strongly oblique); and pleopods (inner ramus reduced to 2–3 articles). We provide a detailed morphological comparison between stygobiont and stygophile Hyalella species. We comment on the sympatry and new report of stygobiont Malacostraca species Parastygocaris andina and Cuyojanira sp. Severe environmental changes and significant decline of habitat quality recorded along the Calingasta River increase the risk of extinction for this vulnerable and endemic fauna. We recommend that the new Hyalella species should be listed as Critically Endangered (CR) in the IUCN categorization according to criteria B1a as it is only known from the type locality; and criteria B1b iii (continuing decline, observed, inferred in the quality of habitat).
