title: Gateways to the underworld: molecular phylogenetic analyses identify patterns of groundwater fauna and two new species of hypogean Hyalella Smith, 1874 (Amphipoda, Hyalellidae) from the northern Mojave Desert

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Cannizzaro, Andrew G., Lange, Corey J., Berg, David J. (2025): Gateways to the underworld: molecular phylogenetic analyses identify patterns of groundwater fauna and two new species of hypogean Hyalella Smith, 1874 (Amphipoda, Hyalellidae) from the northern Mojave Desert. Subterranean Biology 54: 35-68, DOI: 10.3897/subtbiol.54.168846AbstractIn North America, the genus Hyalella (Crustacea: Amphipoda) is primarily epigean, with only two described species found in groundwater. In contrast, Stygobromus is an amphipod genus occupying subterranean habitats throughout most of the Nearctic. Using both molecular and morphological traits, we describe two new species of stygobitic amphipods, Hyalella plutonia sp. nov. and Hyalella keepuikantun sp. nov. from groundwater habitats in Nye County, Nevada, USA. These species form a monophyletic group that also contains the similar H. cretae from Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Members of this “ H. cretae ” complex are similar in terms of overall morphology but can be distinguished through examination of taxonomically relevant characters within the genus such as the third uropod, gnathopods, and pereopod 7. The description of these species highlights the unexpected diversity of stygobitic Hyalella within the northern Mojave Desert, where four such species comprise two independent lineages. Stygobromus is absent from these locations. This diversity of Hyalella is hypothesized to be due in part to the evolutionary history the genus and the ecological / climatic conditions of the region itself, which may exclude other more wide-ranging Nearctic stygobites like Stygobromus.

The new species has been placed in the sect. Microcerasus and could readily be distinguished from the closest relative, P. microcarpa subsp microcarpa, Prunus yazdiana, and Prunus paradoxa by indistinct brachyblasts, fasciculate inflorescence of 2–5 sessile or subsessile flowers with 10–12 unequal-sized stamens and glabrous style and ovary. Also, Prunus jacquemontii is recorded for the first time from northeast Iran. It is similar to P. griffithii morphologically, an endemic species distributed in Afghanistan, but distinguished from it by its glabrous leaves and glabrous style and ovary. Micromorphological features of pollen grains and leaf epidermal cells, surface are presented using Scanning Electron Microscopy. The diagnostic traits, a geographic distribution map, and detailed photos of the taxa are also presented here.

title: A new species, Cricotopus cataractaenostocicola, living in a cyanobacterial colony on vertical rocky substrates with trickling water film in Japan (Diptera: Chironomidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Tachibana, Satoru (2022): A new species, Cricotopus cataractaenostocicola, living in a cyanobacterial colony on vertical rocky substrates with trickling water film in Japan (Diptera: Chironomidae). Zootaxa 5178 (3): 241-255, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5178.3.3AbstractTrickling water on nearly vertical rocky substrates is a common feature of mountainous regions of Japan. The thin water film is inhabited by discoid colonies of the cyanobacteria Nostoc. This species resembles the North American Nostoc parmelioides Kützing, which forms ear-like colonies in stream beds and is inhabited by symbiotic chironomid larvae. The Nostoc colony in Japan was inhabited by a chironomid larva inside a ring-shaped burrow in the colony. Morphological analyses suggested that these individuals belong to a new species closely related to Cricotopus spp. symbiotic with Nostoc parmelioides. Here, we described the chironomid species Cricotopus cataractaenostocicola sp. nov. The species was distinguished from other congeneric species mainly by the morphology of male hypopygia. It has an anal point and long setae on the outside of the gonocoxite, and does not have setae near the apex of the inner lobe in the gonocoxite. Almost all the Nostoc colonies contained one large larva or pupa. The outer layer of the chironomid-symbiotic Nostoc colony had an elastic hardness. The 3D computer tomography (3DCT) scan showed a connected network of internal passages that are sufficiently wide to be traversed by the larvae, suggesting that cavities are present for the larvae to pass through. Future studies should investigate the formation of cavities and their purpose. As pioneers in the observation of living organisms using 3DCT, we provided the CT data to the Natural History Museum in Vienna.

title: A century later: a new species of Mastigoceras Handschin, 1924 (Collembola, Orchesellidae), with morphological and systematic updates on the genus

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Rodrigues, Iandra Vitória Bezerra, de Souza, Paolla Gabryelle Cavalcante, Nunes, Rudy Camilo, Nunes Godeiro, Nerivânia, Bellini, Bruno Cavalcante (2024): A century later: a new species of Mastigoceras Handschin, 1924 (Collembola, Orchesellidae), with morphological and systematic updates on the genus. ZooKeys 1217: 79-100, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1217.132351AbstractMastigoceras camponoti Handschin, the sole member of its genus and the Mastigocerini tribe, exhibits unusual dorsal chaetotaxy compared to other Orchesellidae. This includes a reduction in dorsal macrochaetotaxy and a secondary covering of fusiform scales intermixed with ciliate microchaetae. Despite three redescriptions, Mastigoceras chaetotaxy remains poorly understood, with no data on tergal sensilla patterns or dorsal macrochaetae homology. Here, the genus is revisited by describing a new Brazilian species a century after the original description of M. camponoti, based on morphological depiction combined with the use of DNA barcoding, Mastigoceras handschini Rodrigues, Souza & Bellini, sp. nov. The two species are differentiated by a few and unusual aspects of the dorsal chaetotaxy, especially scales distribution, and may be considered as pseudocryptic taxa. Our study of tergal sensilla formula, scales morphology, and distribution in Mastigoceras reveals no clear morphological support for placing Mastigocerini within Heteromurinae.

MycoKeys 106: 251-264, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.106.125693AbstractTwo novel species within the family Dictyosporiaceae are described and illustrated from terrestrial habitats on dead culms of bamboo and an unidentified plant, respectively. Through morphological comparisons and the multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, ITS, SSU, and tef 1 - α sequence dataset, two species, Gregarithecium bambusicola, Pseudocoleophoma paraphysoidea are identified. Phylogenetically, both species clustered into a monophyletic clade with strong bootstrap support. Gregarithecium bambusicola sp. nov. can be distinguished from other species within the genus based on its almost straight ascospores. Pseudocoleophoma paraphysoidea sp. nov. differs from other species in its conidiogenous cells intermixed with paraphyses, longer conidiogenous cells and larger conidia. The identification of this lineage contributes to our understanding of the classification of Dictyosporiaceae.

Amphibian & Reptile Conservation (e 258) 14 (3): 86-102, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11447502Abstract. —A new species of Tantilla is described from the Refugio de Vida Silvestre Barras de Cuero y Salado (RVSBCS), on the Caribbean coast of Honduras. Assigned to the Tantilla taeniata group, this species differs from others in this group in color pattern, numbers of scales, measurements, and habitat. An incomplete pale nuchal collar and a pale mediodorsal stripe extending to the proximal edge of the paravertebral rows on the anterior third of the body are present. The lateral extension of the head cap does not completely separate the postocular pale spot from the pale nuchal collar. A pale lateral stripe is present on the adjacent halves of dorsal scale rows 3 and 4. The ventrolateral ground color is much darker than that of the dorsolateral ground color. The ventral + subcaudal number of 244 is the highest figure for the males of species in the group. The RVSBCS is an important coastal protected area in Mesoamerica, due to its significant coastal diversity, including iconic species, in addition to harboring this centipede snake.

Rhinophis martin sp. nov. is described from 11 type specimens from the Rakwana Massif, and another 22 specimens from the same region are referred to this new species. Rhinophis dinarzardae sp. nov. is described from eight type specimens from the Knuckles Massif, and another 64 specimens from the Knuckles and adjacent hills are referred to this new species. Rhinophis martin sp. nov. has apparently not been reported previously under any scientific name, but is distinct in scalation, colour pattern and DNA. Rhinophis dinarzardae sp. nov. has long-been confused with the superficially similar R. philippinus, from which it differs by having more ventral scales, by occurring in the northern part of the Knuckles Massif and adjacent hills to the West rather than in the Central Highlands upland region (and possibly areas to the South and West) of Sri Lanka, and in DNA sequence data. The new descriptions take the inventory of currently recognised, named uropeltid species in Sri Lanka to 20, all members of the genus Rhinophis.

The analysis reveals that Semra shares key characteristics with the genus Hyperaspis Chevrolat from the tribe Hyperaspidini, supporting the synonymization of both genera, as a result a new combination Hyperaspis picta comb. nov. is proposed. Despite this, Hyperaspis picta remains very distinctive species due to its unique coloration and surface texture, setting it apart from other American species of Hyperaspis.
