title: A new Eurhinosaurus (Ichthyosauria) species from the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) of Mistelgau (Bavaria, Southern Germany)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Spicher, Gaël E., Miedema, Feiko, Heijne, Jelle, Klein, Nicole (2025): A new Eurhinosaurus (Ichthyosauria) species from the Lower Jurassic (Toarcian) of Mistelgau (Bavaria, Southern Germany). Fossil Record 28 (2): 249-291, DOI: 10.3897/fr.28.154203AbstractEurhinosaurus is a European Lower Jurassic longirostrine ichthyosaur, characterized by its remarkable overbite. Despite the long history of the genus, the taxonomy of Eurhinosaurus is still under debate, and its morphology is poorly understood. Over the past two decades, three specimens of Eurhinosaurus have been discovered in the Mistelgau clay pit in Bavaria, southern Germany, from Upper Toarcian layers. This makes these specimens the youngest stratigraphic occurrence of the genus Eurhinosaurus. The examined specimens include two nearly complete skeletons and a partial snout, preserved three-dimensionally in a semi-articulated state, with elements exposed in multiple orientations. The Mistelgau specimens exhibit clear morphological similarities to known Eurhinosaurus, confirming their affiliation to the genus based on numerous characteristics. However, the Eurhinosaurus specimens from Mistelgau exhibit notable differences in the basioccipital and rib morphology compared to known species. While not significant at the genus level, these distinctions allow recognition as a new species: Eurhinosaurus mistelgauensis sp. nov. These well-preserved fossils from Mistelgau further provide valuable insights into Eurhinosaurus morphology and significantly contribute to our understanding of this historically important ichthyosaur.

title: Underestimated diversity: A new species of the genus Cuneopsis (Bivalvia, Unionidae, Unioninae) from Henan, China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hou, Kaiyu, Wang, Xianan, Nan, Fang, Wu, Ruiwen (2025): Underestimated diversity: A new species of the genus Cuneopsis (Bivalvia, Unionidae, Unioninae) from Henan, China. Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (1): 341-351, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.141439AbstractThe global decline of freshwater mussels and their crucial ecological services highlights the necessity and urgency of developing and guiding conservation efforts for this group. Accurately delineating species and understanding their phylogeny are crucial to the core of species conservation. Here, we integrate shell morphology, soft-body anatomy, and molecular systematics to describe a new species of freshwater mussel from the Shi River in Xinyang City, Henan Province, China, i. e., Cuneopsis celtiosimilis sp. nov. Morphologically, this new species resembles its congeneric species C. kiangsiensis and C. celtiformis in shell size, shape, and sculpture. However, this new species can be distinguished from closely related congeners by the pseudocardinal teeth. For the new species, two pseudocardinal teeth of the left valve join together to form a continuous strip; the single pseudocardinal tooth on the right valve is more squashed and lower; the papillae of the incurrent aperture are shorter, forming a pyramidal shape and arranged in two rows. Molecularly, based on the mitochondrial barcoding gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), the minimum genetic distance between the new species and other known congeners is 4.6 % (C. celtiosimilis sp. nov. vs. C. kiangsiensis). Additionally, the complete mitogenome of C. celtiosimilis sp. nov. was also assembled and annotated. Based on the mitochondrial phylogenomic analyses, the results clarify the phylogenetic position of the new species and establish the most comprehensive phylogenetic relationship of the genus Cuneopsis to date, as follows: (((( C. demangei + C. heudei) + C. szechenyii) + (( C. kiangsiensis + C. celtiosimilis sp. nov.) + C. celtiformis )) + C. rufescens). The discovery of this new taxon contributes to the existing knowledge on freshwater mussels in China, and a key to all known species of Cuneopsis is provided to aid the identification of species in this understudied genus.

title: Taxonomic and phylogenetic evidence reveal a new species and a new record of the genus Marasmius (Marasmiaceae) from Pakistan

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Asif, Muhammad, Maula, Fazli, Saba, Malka, Akram, Wajahat, Raza, Mubashar (2024): Taxonomic and phylogenetic evidence reveal a new species and a new record of the genus Marasmius (Marasmiaceae) from Pakistan. Phytotaxa 646 (1): 32-46, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.646.1.2, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.646.1.2AbstractThis research reveals a significant contribution to fungal taxonomy through the integration of morphological and phylogenetic analyses, utilizing ITS and 28 S sequences. Focused on the Marasmius genus in Pakistan, the combined approach has successfully identified a new species, namely M. pakistanicus, and a new record, M. paratrichotus. The new species is characterized by its small orange pileus with a grooved surface, creamy lamellae, lacrymoid to subcylindrical basidiospores, broadly clavate cheilocystidia, and a hymeniderm pileipellis composed of inconspicuous or broadly clavate elements. This study enhances our knowledge of fungal diversity by scrutinizing both morphological traits and genetic profiles. The morphological and phylogenetic analyses based on the combined ITS-28 S dataset confirmed that both species belong to the Marasmius sect. Sicci. These findings not only broaden our understanding of local fungal biodiversity but also underscore the efficacy of a comprehensive methodology. They emphasize the synergy between morphology and phylogenetics as instrumental in advancing our knowledge of fungal communities.

Considering the distinguishable wing patterns and allopatric distribution of the two taxa, we treat pieridoides as a subspecies of heringi. Therefore, the genus Albiphasma Huang, Chiba, Wang and Fan, 2016, which was established for heringi and pieridoides, becomes monotypic, and in light of morphological similarities and close genetic distance between heringi and Pintara bowringi (Joicey & Talbot, 1921), we propose its synonymy with Pintara Evans, 1932. The adults and male genitalia of both P. heringi heringi (Mell, 1922) and P. heringi pieridoides (Liu & Gu, 1994) are illustrated.

title: A new genus for four myobatrachid frogs from the South Western Australian Ecoregion

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Webster, Grant N., Bool, Ian (2022): A new genus for four myobatrachid frogs from the South Western Australian Ecoregion. Zootaxa 5154 (2): 127-151, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5154.2.2AbstractThe southern Australian endemic genus Geocrinia Blake 1973 (Anura: Myobatrachidae) currently contains seven species, with five restricted to Western Australia and two in the south-eastern states covering parts of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. All species have a modified life history with at least some or all of the larval stage being completed terrestrially. Four of the Western Australian species have terrestrial, non-feeding tadpoles nourished by yolk until metamorphosis. The remaining species have a biphasic development with embryos developing on land followed by an aquatic tadpole stage. The presence of species groups within the Geocrinia has been recognised since the 1970s, with all relevant subsequent studies supporting a model of two groups within the genus, recovered as reciprocally monophyletic in phylogenetic analyses. We examined character traits of the seven recognised Geocrinia species, concluding that distinction of the two monophyletic groups is supported by differences in life history strategy, larval morphology, adult morphology, call structure, breeding season and geographic distribution. The differences between the two groups correspond to phylogenetic structuring for all traits except distribution. Given reciprocal monophyly, and greater variation in traits than present within other myobatrachid genera, we conclude that the two groups should be given generic distinction. We therefore describe a new genus, Anstisia gen. nov., for four Western Australian Geocrinia species, retaining three species in Geocrinia. This increases the number of recognised myobatrachid genera to 14: five are endemic to south-western Australia.
