title: Morphology of the first instar larva of obligatory traumatic myiasis agents (Diptera: Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Szpila, K., Hall, M. J. R., Wardhana, A. H., Pape, T. (2014): Morphology of the first instar larva of obligatory traumatic myiasis agents (Diptera: Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae). Parasitology Research (1629) 113 (5): 1629-1640, DOI: 10.1007/s00436-014-3808-x, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00436-014-3808-xAbstract There are only three fly species that are obligate agents of traumatic myiasis of humans and livestock: a single species of flesh fly, Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Sarcophagidae), and two species of blow flies, Chrysomya bezziana and Cochliomyia hominivorax (Calliphoridae). The morphology of their first instar larvae is thoroughly and consistently documented here with light microscopy photographs and scanning electron microscopy micrographs. The following morphological structures are documented: pseudocephalon, antennal complex, maxillary palpus, oral ridges, thoracic and abdominal spinulation, spiracular field, posterior spiracles and cephaloskeleton. New diagnostic features drawn from the cephaloskeleton and the spinulation of abdominal segments, including the anal pad, are discovered and extensively described. Earlier descriptions in the literature are revisited, and major discrepancies between these and the results of the current study are discussed. The present results allow clarification, correction and, especially, complementation of information provided by earlier authors. The relatively distant taxonomic position of all three species is evidence that obligatory myiasis has arisen independently, and the extensively similar morphology in the first instar larvae of Chrysomya bezziana, Cochliomyia hominivorax and W. magnifica in comparison to necrophagous species, especially the enhancement of the anterior part of the cephaloskeleton and the segmental spinulation, is therefore best interpreted as homoplasic adaptations to a life strategy as obligate vertebrate parasites. An identification key for first instar larvae of all obligatory traumatic myiasis agents of mammals is provided.

title: Unveiling species diversity within the family Conidiobolaceae (Entomophthorales) in China: Descriptions of two new species and reassessment of the taxonomic position of Conidiobolus polyspermus

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Nie, Yong, Yin, Ying, Zhao, Heng, Liu, XiaoYong, Huang, Bo (2024): Unveiling species diversity within the family Conidiobolaceae (Entomophthorales) in China: Descriptions of two new species and reassessment of the taxonomic position of Conidiobolus polyspermus. MycoKeys 105: 203-216, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.105.117871AbstractIn the present study, two new Conidiobolus s. s. species were described relying on the morphological studies and phylogenetic analysis utilizing nuclear large subunit of rDNA (nucLSU), mitochondrial small subunit of rDNA (mtSSU), and elongation-factor-like gene (EFL) sequences. Conidiobolus jiangxiensis sp. nov. is distinguished by its short primary conidiophores, a feature not commonly observed in other Conidiobolus s. s. species. Conversely, Conidiobolus marcoconidius sp. nov. is characterized by larger primary conidia and the emergence of 2–5 secondary conidia from each branched secondary conidiophores. Additionally, the taxonomic reassessment of C. polyspermus confirms its distinct status within the genus Conidiobolus s. s. Moreover, molecular analyses, incorporating the nucLSU, mtSSU, and EFL sequences, provide robust support for the phylogenetic placement of the two newly described species and the taxonomic identity of C. polyspermus. This investigation contributes valuable insights into the species diversity of Conidiobolaceae in China, enhancing our understanding of the taxonomy within this fungal family.

title: A new species and a new record of the amphipod genus Cymadusa Savigny, 1816 (Senticaudata, Ampithoidae) from India

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Thacker, Dimple, Myers, Alan, Trivedi, Jigneshkumar (2023): A new species and a new record of the amphipod genus Cymadusa Savigny, 1816 (Senticaudata, Ampithoidae) from India. Zootaxa 5297 (3): 393-405, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5297.3.4, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5297.3.4AbstractThe present study recorded Cymadusa filosa Savigny 1816 for the first time from India along with the description of a new species Cymadusa kaureshi n. sp. The newly described species C. kaureshi n. sp. can be differentiated from its closely related congeners C. setosa (Haswell, 1879) and C. tattersalli Peart, 2004 in having 3 articulated accessory flagellum of antenna 1 and male g nathopod 2 palm with small proximal knob-like process. The record of Cymadusa filosa Savigny, 1816 by Rabindranath (1972) from Tamil Nadu does not match with the description and illustrations of C. filosa sensu stricto in having mid palmar tooth on male gnathopod 2; antenna 1 with 3 articulated accessory flagellum and gnathopod 1 significantly longer and slender than gnathopod 2. Since the record of Rabindranath (1972) significantly differs from C. filosa sensu stricto, we assume that the Tamil Nadu specimen could be an undescribed species. Moreover, all the previous reports from India of C. filosa are erroneous, and here in this study we report the first confirmed record of C. filosa from India.

title: Phylogenomic placement and revision of Iranattus Prószyński, 1992 jumping spiders (Salticidae, Plexippini, Plexippina)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Marathe, Kiran, Tripathi, Rishikesh, Sudhikumar, Ambalaparambil V., Maddison, Wayne P. (2024): Phylogenomic placement and revision of Iranattus Prószyński, 1992 jumping spiders (Salticidae, Plexippini, Plexippina). Zoosystematics and Evolution 100 (2): 531-542, DOI: 10.3897/zse.100.122034AbstractThe jumping spider genus Iranattus Prószyński, 1992, distributed from Africa to southwestern Asia, has been placed within the Harmochirina because of their male palp structures and elongated third legs. Here, we present phylogenomic evidence that it belongs instead to the subtribe Plexippina, further supported by the presence of two coupling pockets in the female epigyne. In this study, we redescribe I. principalis (Wesołowska, 2000) and I. rectangularis Prószyński, 1992. Additionally, the female of I. rectangularis, the type species of the genus, is described for the first time, and we report its range extension east to India.

title: A new species of Elpidium Müller, 1880 (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from Hispaniola, with an updated key to the species of the genus, and its molecular phylogenetic positioning within the Cytheroidea

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mesquita-Joanes, Francesc, Gálvez, Ángel, Palero, Ferran, Rueda, Juan (2025): A new species of Elpidium Müller, 1880 (Crustacea, Ostracoda) from Hispaniola, with an updated key to the species of the genus, and its molecular phylogenetic positioning within the Cytheroidea. ZooKeys 1233: 75-106, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1233.126611AbstractThe ostracod genus Elpidium, a specialist of phytotelma habitats, has received increased attention during the past decade, with a proliferation of described species, rising from seven to nineteen. These recent studies emphasize the high diversity and endemicity of the genus, and its wide distribution in the Neotropics. Yet many regions are still to be inspected for the presence of Elpidium. In this work, a new species collected from Hispaniola is described, for which only undetermined previous records existed, despite several species being known from the neighboring islands of Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Elpidium alarconi sp. nov. belongs to the group with a basal expansion on the hemipenis distal lobe, which contains six other species (E. chacoense, E. cordiforme, E. higutiae, E. maricaoense, E. merendonense and E. picinguabaense) and can be distinguished from them by the different shape of the basal expansion (appearing long and digitiform) and by a thin, pointed and L-shaped lower ramus. An updated key is constructed to allow identification of the 20 species of Elpidium described to date, based on shell morphology and soft parts anatomy. The first sequence of the molecular marker 18 S for a described species of Elpidium is also presented, and shows its close affinities to members of the genera Gomphodella, Metacypris, and Cytheridella, all in the same clade, separated from the branch where Limnocythere is positioned in the phylogenetic tree. These molecular results, together with strong morphological differences, support the promotion of the subfamily Timiriaseviinae to the family rank, independent from the Limnocytheridae, to which it formerly belonged.

title: Three new non-lacustrine species of the endemic freshwater gastropod genus Sulawesidrobia (Caenogastropoda, Truncatelloidea, Tateidae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with additional records of species from ancient Lake Poso

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Kadow, Laura, von Rintelen, Thomas, Iqram, Muhammad, Bichain, Jean-Michel, Haase, Martin (2025): Three new non-lacustrine species of the endemic freshwater gastropod genus Sulawesidrobia (Caenogastropoda, Truncatelloidea, Tateidae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with additional records of species from ancient Lake Poso. Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (4): 1585-1600, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.161812AbstractThe vast majority of freshwater gastropods of the family Tateidae dwell in springs, small streams and the groundwater. In Sulawesi, however, all 31 described species occur in lake habitats. This exclusivity is certainly an artefact, a consequence of the lack of research in non-lacustrine habitats. Indeed, recent explorations discovered three species in non-lacustrine habitats, Sulawesidrobia lasoloensis sp. nov. and S. marmer sp. nov. in small streams in Southeast Sulawesi, and S. tilangaensis sp. nov. in the spring-fed Tilanga natural pool in South Sulawesi. We describe these species based on shell morphology, anatomy as well as mitochondrial sequence data and, based on the latter, inferred their phylogenetic relationships. These analyses also included new samples from Lake Poso. Sulawesidrobia lasoloensis sp. nov. and S. marmer sp. nov. formed a sister group to a clade from the Malili-Lake system, whereas S. tilangaensis sp. nov. was nested among the species from Lake Poso. Considering the long branches as well as the geographic distances between the new species and their respective lake relatives as well as the large unexplored areas, many more species dwelling in similar, for tateids more typical habitats are to be expected.

title: A new species of Rhipidoglossum (Orchidaceae, Angraecinae) from the Western Rift Valley (Africa)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Macedo, Arthur, Trovó, Marcelo, Stévart, Tariq, Farminhão, João (2025): A new species of Rhipidoglossum (Orchidaceae, Angraecinae) from the Western Rift Valley (Africa). Plant Ecology and Evolution 158 (2): 248-259, DOI: 10.5091/plecevo.155517AbstractBackground and aims – Rhipidoglossum is the third most species-rich epiphytic orchid genus in continental Tropical Africa, containing at least 53 species. As part of an ongoing taxonomic revision, a new species endemic to the Western Rift Valley was identified. The novelty was previously confused with R. adoxum and R. globulosocalcaratum. Here, we aim to clarify the diagnostic traits and geographic distribution of these three species.Material and methods – We applied standard herbarium taxonomic practices to a geographically representative sampling of dry and spirit specimens identified as R. adoxum and R. globulosocalcaratum, and conducted a thorough review of regional floras and field photographs to compile all available information on the novelty. A synoptic table, distribution map, and the risk of extinction based on IUCN Red List conservation status accompany the description and illustration of this new species.Key results – Rhipidoglossum fischerianum sp. nov., R. globulosocalcaratum, and R. adoxum can be distinguished from each other based on stem size, leaf apex, perianth, and rostellum morphology. Rhipidoglossum fischerianum is endemic to the lower montane forests in the Western Rift, whereas R. globulosocalcaratum is restricted to the Guineo-Congolian forests, and newly recorded from Cameroon and Uganda. Rhipidoglossum adoxum is found in montane forests of Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Sudan. The new species is preliminarily assessed as Vulnerable (VU). The name R. globulosocalcaratum is here lectotypified.Conclusion – This new species increases the diversity of Rhipidoglossum in the Western Rift to 16 species, of which 10 are endemic or near-endemic to the region. It highlights the relevant role of ongoing taxonomic work and the preservation of the Western Rift forests, which harbour high levels of unique biodiversity.

This genus is characterized by the presence of a twisted gonofemorite of the gonopods. Two new species of Polydrepanum are described and illustrated in detail. Polydrepanum xiphosum sp. nov. is distinguished from congeners by the structure of its distomesal processes (a and b) on the gonofemorite. Polydrepanum spinatum sp. nov. is defined by the presence of four spines on the lateral margin of the solenophore of the gonopod and the absence of an adenostyle on the first and second pairs of legs in the male. A key to the species of the genus is provided.

title: Distributed Inertial–Visual Fusion System with Real-time Evaluation for Multi-target Dynamic Positioning in Team Sports

description: Addressing the challenges of high-speed motion, occlusion, and complex interactions in multi-target positioning for team sports, this study proposes a distributed inertial–visual fusion measurement and control system with real-time performance evaluation. An adaptive weight allocation framework dynamically adjusts IMU–vision contributions based on motion states and environmental conditions, enabling high-precision fusion of heterogeneous data. A cooperative positioning strategy incorporating formation constraints and relative positional relationships enhances robustness through inter-target information sharing. A comprehensive accuracy–latency–stability evaluation model supports reliable operation via online monitoring and early warning.
