Astyanax vermilion is distinguished from most of its congeners and from all other Astyanax species known from northeastern Brazilian drainages by having distal portion of pelvic fins dark, a combination of sexually dimorphic characters, posteroventral portion of body and fins (except pectoral) reddish in life, and inconspicuous humeral and caudal spots. It also differs by having highest body depth just anterior of dorsal-fin origin, 32-34 lateral-line scales, and presence of one or two maxillary teeth. Astyanax burgerai is diagnosed by the presence of two vertically elongated humeral blotches, absence of a conspicuous and broad dark midlateral stripe (at least on anterior half of body), body highest along vertical slightly behind midlength of pectoral fin, 31-34 lateral-line scales, and two or three teeth on premaxillary outer series.Duas espécies novas de Astyanax, A. vermilion, do rio Almada e rio Cachoeira, e A. burgerai, do rio Almada, Estado da Bahia, Brasil, são descritas. Astyanax vermilion distingue-se da maioria de suas congêneres e de todas as espécies de Astyanax conhecidas das drenagens do Nordeste do Brasil por ter porção distal da nadadeira pélvica escurecida, uma combinação de caracteres sexualmente dimórficos, porção póstero-ventral do corpo e nadadeiras (exceto peitoral) avermelhadas em vida e manchas umeral e caudal inconspícuas. Difere também por ter maior altura do corpo imediatamente anterior à origem da nadadeira dorsal, 32-34 escamas na linha lateral e presença de um ou dois dentes no maxilar. Astyanax burgerai é diagnosticada pela presença de duas manchas umerais alongadas verticalmente, ausência de faixa lateral larga e conspícua, ao menos na metade anterior do corpo, maior altura do corpo na vertical situada levemente posterior à metade da nadadeira peitoral, 31-34 escamas na linha lateral e dois ou três dentes na série externa do pré-maxilar.

(Oribatida, Haplozetidae), with type species Araguazetes luisi sp. nov., is proposed and described from Henri Pittier National Park, Venezuela. Based on an analysis of adults of genera of Haplozetidae, the new genus is closely related to Haplozetes and Mancoribates, from which it is most easily distinguished by the broad, nearly rounded notogaster, the adjacent dorsal position of the rostral setae, the arch-like translamella, and the absence of the interlamellar setae and their alveoli. Relationships between Araguazetes and selected other genera within Haplozetidae are discussed.

title: On two species of Opogona Zeller, 1853 from St Helena Island (Tineoidea: Tineidae: Hieroxestinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Karisch, Timm (2022): On two species of Opogona Zeller, 1853 from St Helena Island (Tineoidea: Tineidae: Hieroxestinae). Metamorphosis 33: 1-5, DOI: 10.4314/met.v33i1.1Abstract: A new species of Opogona is described, based on specimens collected at two sites with Gumwood trees (Commidendrum robustum (Roxb.) DC.) (Asteraceae) on St Helena Island. The species is very distinctive among all other known Opogona species on the island in its characteristic bronze-and-black speckled pattern of the forewings. Colour photographs of the moth and drawings of the male and female genitalia are given. Genetic and morphological examination of specimens treated as O. apicalis (E. Wollaston, 1879) and O. compositarum (E. Wollaston, 1879) revealed that they are conspecific, and these two names are therefore here synonymised, giving priority to Tinea compositarum E. Wollaston, 1879 over the equally old Tinea apicalis E. Wollaston, 1879 syn. nov.

Based on phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS, LSU, SSU and TEF1-α sequence data, Pseudomonodictys aquatica is introduced as a new species and it is the first report of sexual morph in this genus. Pseudomonodictys aquatica is characterized by semi-immersed to immersed, globose to subglobose ascomata, clavate, short pedicellate asci and fusiform to cylindrical, (6)–8-septate, hyaline ascospores that are enlarged at the 4 th- middle cells and surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath. Morphological characters of the species are compared with the similar taxa in Parabambusicolaceae. The detailed description and illustration of the new species are provided.

The species was discovered in 2022 during a botanical survey of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park (Quang Binh Province, northern Vietnam), where it inhabits a steep limestone rock. Mitreola capitata is remarkable for its habit that includes a leaf-rosette, compact head-like inflorescence with long peduncle and prominent indumentum of most plant parts. The new species is most similar to M. spathulifolia, differing by smaller leaves, dense and compact inflorescence, shorter pedicel, hairy calyx and smaller capsule. Typification of M. spathulifolia is revised, and a lectotype is selected.

title: The stoloniferous octocoral, Hanabira yukibana, gen. nov., sp. nov., of the southern Ryukyus has morphological and symbiont variation

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Lau, Yee Wah, Stokvis, Frank R., Imahara, Yukimitsu, Reimer, James D. (2019): The stoloniferous octocoral, Hanabira yukibana, gen. nov., sp. nov., of the southern Ryukyus has morphological and symbiont variation. Contributions to Zoology 88 (1): 54-77, DOI: 10.1163/18759866-20191355, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/18759866-20191355AbstractStoloniferan octocorals (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) are a relatively unexplored fauna in the Ryukyus (southern Japan), known to be a tropical marine region of high biodiversity and endemism of species. Specimens of stoloniferous octocorals were collected during fieldwork along the coasts of two islands (Okinawa and Iriomote) in the Okinawa Prefecture. Despite their phenotypic polyp variation, this study shows their morphological and molecular uniqueness, leading to the description of a new genus with a single species: Hanabira yukibana, gen. nov., sp. nov. They are placed within the Clavulariidae and form a sister clade basally to the genus Knopia Alderslade & McFadden, 2007 and species of Clavularia Blainville, 1830. The polyps of this new species show morphological variation in both shape and sclerite density, but there is conformity in the typical overall petal shaped tentacles, which have fused pinnules (pseudopinnules). Depending on the densities of their sclerites and their photosynthetic endosymbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) of the family Symbiodiniaceae, there is a characteristic sheen present in the tentacles. Moreover, the zooxanthellae hosted by our specimens form a clear, small-scale biogeographic pattern; all H. yukibana specimens from Okinawa Island contained zooxanthellae of the genus Cladocopium Lajeunesse & H.J. Jeong, 2018 (= former Symbiodinium ‘Clade C’) and all specimens from Iriomote Island hosted zooxanthellae of the genus Durusdinium LaJeunesse, 2018 (= former Symbiodinium ‘Clade D’). These results show the potential for variation among the Symbiodiniaceae floras within octocorals, something that has not yet been investigated for the large majority of zooxanthellate octocoral species.

title: Description of a new species of the genus Metaplax H. Milne Edwards, 1852 (Decapoda: Brachyura: Varunidae) from Vietnam

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hsu, Jhih-Wei, Shih, Hsi-Te, Ngo, Xuan Quang (2025): Description of a new species of the genus Metaplax H. Milne Edwards, 1852 (Decapoda: Brachyura: Varunidae) from Vietnam. Zootaxa 5693 (4): 482-500, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5693.4.2, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5693.4.2AbstractMetaplax H. Milne Edwards, 1852, is a genus in the family Varunidae H. Milne Edwards, 1853, distributed across the Indo-West Pacific, with 10 described species. Among them, Metaplax crenulata (Gerstaecker, 1856) was previously thought to be present in both the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific (Vietnam). However, our study, based on morphological and molecular evidence, indicates that specimens from the Indian Ocean and Vietnam represent distinct species. Since the type locality of M. crenulata is unknown, we conducted comparative analyses of the syntypes alongside specimens from the Indian Ocean and Vietnam. Morphological examinations revealed that the syntypes closely resemble the Indian Ocean specimens, whereas the Vietnamese specimens exhibit clear morphological differences, particularly in the male suborbital cristae and the proportions of the ambulatory legs. Furthermore, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequence analysis showed a 5.8% genetic divergence between the two groups, further confirming that they represent separate species. Based on these findings, we describe the species from Vietnam as new.
