title: A new species of Kana Distant representing the first record of Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from Madagascar

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Dietrich, Christopher H. (2023): A new species of Kana Distant representing the first record of Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from Madagascar. Zootaxa 5319 (1): 127-134, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5319.1.9, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5319.1.9AbstractKana ranomafanensis sp. n. is described and illustrated based on specimens from montane rainforests in eastern Madagascar. This is the first record of the diverse and widely distributed leafhopper subfamily Evacanthinae from Madagascar. A revised diagnosis of Kana Distant is provided and the new species is compared to species from the Indomalayan and Afrotropical regions. Evidence from previous molecular divergence time analyses suggests that ancestors of the new species arrived in Madagascar via transoceanic dispersal. The ovipositor of the genus and the male genitalia of Kana decora (Melichar), previously known only from the female holotype from Sri Lanka, are illustrated for the first time.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Smith, Gideon F. (2022): Aloe davyana var. magdae (Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae), a distinctive new variety from central-northeastern South Africa. Phytotaxa 536 (3): 261-269, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.536.3.6AbstractFollowing the reinstatement of Aloe davyana as an accepted taxon at the rank of species, rather than at that of variety under A. greatheadii, and the subsequent reinstatement of A. davyana var. subolifera, a new variety, A. davyana var. magdae, is here described. Aloe davyana var. magdae, from the southern part of the distribution range of the species, inter alia differs from the pale flesh-pink to dull brick-red-flowered autonymic variety by being more intensely red-flowered, while the other, north-central variety, A. davyana var. subolifera, is most often nearly white-flowered. In addition, the new variety has about twice as many leaves per rosette, in comparison to the autonymic variety and A. davyana var. subolifera.

title: A new leafhopper genus and species on bamboo, described from Europe (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae, Mukariini), with remarkable seasonal dimorphism

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sanna, Francesco, Holzinger, Werner E., Cavagna, Francesca, Callot, Henry, Webb, Michael D. (2025): A new leafhopper genus and species on bamboo, described from Europe (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae, Mukariini), with remarkable seasonal dimorphism. Zootaxa 5588 (2): 323-338, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5588.2.7, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5588.2.7AbstractBamboosella Sanna & Webb gen. nov., with B. dimorpha Sanna, Holzinger & Callot, sp. nov., is described and illustrated. Characters of face and body, forewings venation and male genitalia place the new genus in the tribe Mukariini (Deltocephalinae). In common with all other members of the tribe, the species is oligophagous on bamboo (Phyllostachys spp., Poaceae) and has a flattened body. Bamboosella dimorpha has multiple generations per year which show remarkable seasonal dimorphism in terms of the shape of the aedeagus and the pygofer processes in males. This dimorphism is considered to be within a single species based on a study of biology, on the presence of intermediates and on molecular analyses. The species is reported from France, Italy, Slovenia, and Switzerland, but it is (as with its hostplant) not native in Europe and most likely originates from south-eastern Asia.

title: Hardly Venus’s servant-morphological adaptations of Veneriserva to an endoparasitic lifestyle and its phylogenetic position within Dorvilleidae (Annelida)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Tilic, Ekin, Rouse, Greg W. (2024): Hardly Venus’s servant-morphological adaptations of Veneriserva to an endoparasitic lifestyle and its phylogenetic position within Dorvilleidae (Annelida). Organisms Diversity & Evolution 24 (1): 67-83, DOI: 10.1007/s13127-023-00633-8, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13127-023-00633-8AbstractEndoparasitic annelids living inside another annelid host are known, particularly with regard to Oenonidae, but in general are poorly studied. The dorvilleid Veneriserva pygoclava is known from southern California, and its genus name (Latin = Venus’s servant) alludes to the close association with the host aphroditid scaleworm Aphrodita longipalpa. Little is known on fundamental questions on the biology of Veneriserva pygoclava. What is its mode of reproduction? How do they feed? How do they penetrate the host? We have studied multiple parasitized hosts and V. pygoclava specimens, using an integrative approach, combining µCT, histology, and electron microscopy. 3D reconstructions from µCT data of a parasitized Aphrodita show the exact position of the parasites in their natural condition within the host’s coelomic cavity. Ultrastructural investigations of the parasites revealed interesting adaptations to their lifestyle such as the complete reduction of their gut, despite the presence of a functional jaw apparatus and a modified epidermis enabling nutrient uptake from the host’s coelomic fluid. In addition to these, we also investigated spermatogenesis and oogenesis in V. pygoclava. Sperm morphology indicates an external fertilization of eggs within the coelomic cavity of the host. Mature male and female parasites living inside the same mature host and the presence of juvenile V. pygoclava within juveniles of Aphrodita suggest an obligate form of parasitism with a very early penetration of the hosts. In addition to our detailed morphological investigation, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis showing the position of Veneriserva within Dorvilleidae and its position was recovered nested among taxa of the Iphitime. Our phylogenetic analyses also show that the taxation Ophryotrocha puerilis siberti should be given full species rank and referred to as Ophryotrocha siberti. Finally, we publish here the full mitochondrial genome of V. pygoclava and discuss its novel gene order with reference to other annelids.

title: Clarification of morphological characters and geographical distribution of Artemisia neosinensis (Asteraceae, Anthemideae), a strikingly misunderstood species from China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Guo, Xin-Qiang, Wang, Long, Yang, Qin-Er (2022): Clarification of morphological characters and geographical distribution of Artemisia neosinensis (Asteraceae, Anthemideae), a strikingly misunderstood species from China. Phytotaxa 544 (1): 11-36, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.544.1.2AbstractBased on observations on both herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants in the wild, we demonstrate that the Chinese species Artemisia neosinensis (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) has been strikingly misunderstood by previous authors and its geographical range has been wrongly largely extended. All the non-type specimens cited under this species by them belong to misidentifications, whereas the specimens of true A. neosinensis have been wrongly referred to other species. This species is characterized by having 1-pinnatisect, adaxially tomentose, abaxially arachnoid-tomentose leaves with ovate-acuminate or ovate lobules of segments, and campanulate capitula with abaxially arachnoid-tomentose phyllaries. It is distributed only in western Sichuan and northwestern Yunnan, not in Gansu, Qinghai and Xizang. The syntypes of A. strongylocephala var. sinensis f. virgata, a synonym of A. neosinensis, include two taxa, A. neosinensis and A. tangutica var. tomentosa. Lectotypification is thus proposed for A. strongylocephala var. sinensis f. virgata.
