title: Redescription of the megalopa of the fiddler crab Uca uruguayensis (Decapoda, Brachyura, Ocypodidae) with special emphasis on its setae

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Armendariz, Laura C. (2005): Redescription of the megalopa of the fiddler crab Uca uruguayensis (Decapoda, Brachyura, Ocypodidae) with special emphasis on its setae. Journal of Natural History 39 (22): 1981-1993, DOI: 10.1080/00222930400025920, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222930400025920AbstractThe megalopa stage of the fiddler crab endemic to the Neotropical region, Uca uruguayensis, is redescribed, measured and illustrated from 216 specimens collected at Channel 1, Samborombón Bay, Argentina, the southernmost permanent population of the species. Special attention is given to the description of the types of setae, which are compared to those cited for U. uruguayensis and other fiddler crab megalopae reared in the laboratory. The differences are given in the outline of the carapace, the plumose spines of the telson, and also in the following appendages: antennule, antenna, mandible, maxillule, maxilla, first, second and third maxillipeds. These cited differences could be due to: the origin of the organisms, caught in the field from their settlement area versus reared in the laboratory, and/or the sampling locality. The purpose of the present paper is to provide a detailed description of the megalopa that may allow resolution of taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships within this complex genus.

A lectotype is designated and the species is figured and rediagnosed. Specimens from Korea previously assigned to this species are shown to belong to an undescribed taxon, here named Pilumnopeus kimorum sp. nov. The new species differs markedly from P. serratifrons and P. granulatus s. str. by the structures of the carapace, epistome, male pleon and first gonopods. Records of “ Pilumnopeus granulatus ” from Japan and the Philippines are also referred to as P. kimorum sp. nov.

title: Review of the taxonomy and conservation status of the Ecuadorian Glassfrog Centrolenella puyoensis Flores & McDiarmid (Amphibia: Anura: Centrolenidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Cisneros-Heredia, Diego F., Mcdiarmid, Roy W. (2006): Review of the taxonomy and conservation status of the Ecuadorian Glassfrog Centrolenella puyoensis Flores & McDiarmid (Amphibia: Anura: Centrolenidae). Zootaxa 1361: 21-31, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1361.1.2.273631AbstractThe Glassfrog Centrolenella puyoensis Flores & McDiarmid is a taxon known only from the female holotype, and recently placed in the genus Centrolene due to its supposed close relationship with Centrolene mariae (Duellman & Toft). Herein we report new material of puyoensis, including adult male specimens previously unknown. We propose the new combination Cochranella puyoensis (Flores & McDiarmid) n. comb., in recognition of the state of the humeral crista ventralis in males of this species, which lack a humeral spine. The hypothesis of relationships between three species, including puyoensis, proposed as the mariae species-group is questioned as it was based on phenetic rather than derived characters. We present new data that extend the distributional range of Cochranella puyoensis, and define its range along the Foothill Evergreen forests from 400 m to 1000 m above sea level in the provinces of Napo, Orellana, and Pastaza. New data presented herein also permit a re-evaluation of the conservation status of the species, previously classified under the IUCN category of Critically Endangered. We recommend that Cochranella puyoensis be reclassified as “Endangered”: EN B 1 ab(i,ii,iii)+ 2 ab(i,ii,iii); based on a better understanding of the presence of the species, its occupancy area, number of known localities, and habitat quality status.Key words: Cochranella puyoensis n. comb., distributional range, conservation status, Ecuador

title: Integrative taxonomy, phylogeny and distribution patterns of the diverse Neotropical cloud forest butterfly genus Perisama Doubleday (Nymphalidae, Biblidinae, Callicorini)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Zubek, Anna, Wahlberg, Niklas, Boyer, Pierre, Lorenc-Brudecka, Jadwiga, Mahecha-J, Oscar, Pyrcz, Tomasz (2025): Integrative taxonomy, phylogeny and distribution patterns of the diverse Neotropical cloud forest butterfly genus Perisama Doubleday (Nymphalidae, Biblidinae, Callicorini). Zootaxa 5636 (1): 1-34, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5636.1.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5636.1.1AbstractPhylogenetic relationships of the predominantly Andean species-rich nymphalid genus Perisama are explored based on five genetic markers and a total of 3719 bps, and morphological characters of the adults with an emphasis on male genitalia and wing colour patterns. Its monophyly is recovered by including the genera Orophila, which turns out polyphyletic, and Mesotaenia. Two main, highly supported clades are identified, one comprising P. bomplandii and P. oppelii, the other all the remaining species. It is estimated that Perisama and its sister genus Diaethria diverged in Miocene, whereas its main radiation occurred in later Pliocene and throughout Pleistocene and into Holocene, simultaneously with the final Andean uplift. Alpha-taxonomic revision of Perisama was made. Based on comprehensive taxon sampling it is shown that colour patterns are less stable on a geographic scale than previously considered, thus several subspecies were synonymized. An updated checklist is presented. Male genitalia confirm as a more reliable taxonomic character for specific identification of Perisama.

title: A New Species of Oryzomys (Rodentia: Muridae) from Eastern Bolivia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article EMMONS, LOUISE H., PATTON, JAMES L.

The Bolivian sample has the closest genetic relationship to O. perenensis (Kimura 2­parameter genetic distance 3 100: 14.8) and O. laticeps (distance 12.0), but the genetic distance is large. The Bolivian sample is clearly separated from the others by both principal component and discriminant function analyses of cranial and body variables. We here describe it as a new species. Morphologically, it is intermediate in size, along with O. perenensis, between the smaller O. megacephalus and the larger­bodied O. laticeps. In pelage color and occlusal pattern it closely resembles O. megacephalus. The geographic range appears to be a relatively small area of the western basin of the Río Itenez that drains easternmost Santa Cruz and Beni Departments. Genetically verified populations of the four species are thus far allopatric, with the known range of the new species wedged between the geographic ranges of O. perenensis to the west and O. megacephalus to the east.

Zootaxa 1523 (1): 49-58, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1523.1.2AbstractThe external morphology and oral disc of the tadpole of Leptodactylus pustulatus Peters, 1870, are described and illustrated for Gosner stage 39. The internal oral anatomy was analyzed with SEM at Gosner stage 36 whereas chondrocranial anatomy is reported for Gosner stage 35. The overall characteristics do not depart from those known for the genus Leptodactylus and they particularly agree for those of the melanonotus species group. The labial tooth row formula is 2(2)/3. Observations are presented that suggest that L. pustulatus engages in larval parental care.

title: Two new cichlid species of the genus Labrochromis from rocky reefs of Lake Victoria, Tanzania (Perciformes, Cichlidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mahulu, Anna, Seehausen, Ole (2025): Two new cichlid species of the genus Labrochromis from rocky reefs of Lake Victoria, Tanzania (Perciformes, Cichlidae). ZooKeys 1240: 117-137, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1240.125699AbstractLake Victoria is home to a unique and taxonomically understudied species flock of endemic haplochromine cichlid fishes, with many morphologically specialized trophic groups and many different species in each of them. One of several mollusk-eating trophic groups are the pharyngeal snail-crushers of the genus Labrochromis Regan, 1920. Currently, six species from Lake Victoria have been described in this genus, none of which occupies rocky shores and reefs. Rocky shores and reefs of Lake Victoria, however harbor rich assemblages of habitat-specialized cichlids and these include snail-crushers. Here two new species of Labrochromis are described from this habitat in the Southeastern part of Lake Victoria. These species are distinct in their ecology, morphology, and male nuptial coloration from all previously described Labrochromis species, and they are distinct from each other in oral dentition, morphology, and stripe pattern. These species are named Labrochromis mawe sp. nov. and Labrochromis mawepili sp. nov. Both are currently only known from the Mwanza and Speke Gulf regions of the lake in Tanzania.

Neotropical Entomology 53 (2): 364-371, DOI: 10.1007/s13744-023-01110-9, URL: https://doi.org/10.1007/s13744-023-01110-9AbstractHymenoepimecis is a genus of Darwin wasps in the Polysphincta group of genera (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) known as ectoparasitoids of a broad spectrum of spiders. The parasitoid induces production of a web known as cocoon web, which provides shelter and support for the wasp pupa. In this study, we describe for the first time the interaction between Hymenoepimecis castilloi Pádua & Sääksjärvi (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) and its host spider Leucauge mariana (Taczanowski) (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) in the Colombian Andes, provide new records of wasp genus distribution, and described the behavioral modifications induced in the spider. Web modifications occurred in the webs of both solitary and aggregated individuals. Adhesive spirals were lacking, and webs were connected to vegetation by multiple threads in all cocoon webs, which was not seen attached to webs of non-parasitized spiders. All parasitoid cocoons were observed hanging on a vertical line in the hub of the cocoon web. As previously described for other species, we believe that this modified web design results in increased web strength and favors parasitoid development during the pupal stage.

Adults of D. chrysoprasis were collected in Tunisia and larvae were reared ex ovo under laboratory conditions. Both egg and triungulin are described and illustrated by SEM and light microscope. The triungulin shows a campodeiform morphology, typical of non phoretic Meloinae. From the comparison between the first instar larvae of Cerocoma, the single other genus of the tribe Cerocomini whose larvae were known, and Diaphorocera, some distinctive characters are recognised. The phylogenetic placement of the tribe Cerocomini within the family is discussed.

title: The Psylloidea (Hemiptera) of Portugal (mainland, Azores and Madeira): checklist and new distributional and host records

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Duarte, Beatriz Zarcos, Burckhardt, Daniel, Ouvrard, David, Queiroz, Dalva L., Valkenburg, Thijs, Neto, Luís (2025): The Psylloidea (Hemiptera) of Portugal (mainland, Azores and Madeira): checklist and new distributional and host records. Zootaxa 5642 (4): 343-385, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5642.4.4, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5642.4.4AbstractThe occurrence of 71 species of Psylloidea in Portugal (mainland and islands) is documented based on a critical review of literature sources and the examination of recently collected and museum material. The following 17 species are reported from Portugal for the first time: Acizzia acaciaebaileyanae, Aphalara polygoni, Arytaina genistae, Arytainilla delarbrei, Bactericera nigricornis, B. substriola, B. trisignata, Cacopsylla alaterni, C. perrieri, Colposcenia tamaricis, Livia mediterranea, Livilla maculipennis, Macrohomotoma gladiata, Psylla foersteri, Psyllopsis fraxinicola, Trioza centranthi and T. eugeniae. Among the literature records reviewed, four are questionably assigned to particular psyllid genera or species, two probably refer to psyllids and six probably do not concern psyllids. Five species records in the literature are erroneous even though some of the species may occur in Portugal. The following synonymies are proposed: Bactericera Puton, 1876, = Phylloplecta Riley, 1884, syn. nov., = Sinitrioza Yang & Li, in Li & Yang, 1984, syn. nov. These synonymies entail following new or revived combinations: Bactericera chunghsingica Lauterer, Yang & Fang, 1988, comb. rev.; B. occidentalis (Tuthill, 1939) comb. nov.; B. rubicola (Tuthill, 1943) comb. nov.; B. rubisuga (Yang & Li, in Li & Yang, 1984) comb. nov.; B. stylifera (Patch, 1912) comb. nov.; B. tripunctata (Fitch, 1851) comb. nov. and B. trisignata (Löw, 1886) comb. rev. While the fauna of Madeira is relatively well documented, this is not the case for that of the Azores and particularly of the mainland.
