title: Revisiting horseshoe crab fossils from the Middle Triassic (Anisian) Strelovec Formation Konservat-Lagerstätte of Slovenia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bicknell, Russell D. C., Žalohar, Jure, Miklavc, Primož, Celarc, Bogomir, Križnar, Matija, Hitij, Tomaž (2021): Revisiting horseshoe crab fossils from the Middle Triassic (Anisian) Strelovec Formation Konservat-Lagerstätte of Slovenia. Palaeontologia Electronica (a 36) 24 (3): 1-15, DOI: 10.26879/1168, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.26879/1168ABSTRACTXiphosura are a group of marine euchelicerates with a fossil record spanning the majority of the Phanerozoic. Despite this longevity, horseshoe crab fossils are uncom-mon. This rarity is a result of their cuticular exoskeleton that limits the preservational potential of xiphosurid specimens. Nonetheless, a xiphosurid evolutionary radiation is recorded in Triassic-aged deposits. This event likely reflects the occupation of vacant niches after the end-Permian extinction. Here, we revisit Sloveniolimulus rudkini Bicknell et al., 2019b —a Middle Triassic horseshoe crab from the Strelovec Formation that was previously known from one specimen —and include newly identified material to explore the validity of the taxon. We demonstrate that unique genal spine morphologies are observed in all specimens, supporting the maintenance of S. rudkini. In docu-menting this material, we also considered the preservational pathways for horseshoe crabs in limestone and document other metazoan groups from this as-of-yet underex-plored Konservat-Lagerstätte.Russell D.C.

title: Synopsis of the distribution of the rare tiger beetle Opisthencentrus dentipennis (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Roza, André Silva (2022): Synopsis of the distribution of the rare tiger beetle Opisthencentrus dentipennis (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae). Zootaxa 5174 (4): 395-400, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5174.4.5AbstractOpisthencentrus W. Horn, 1893 is a rare monotypic genus of Cicindelidae. The only species, Opisthencentrus dentipennis (Germar, 1843), was recently revised, based only on seven historical specimens, besides a recent published record. The objective of this paper is to provide an updated synopsis of the distribution of Opisthencentrus through the examination of recently collected material. Specimens were examined from several important Brazilian collections to understand the genus distributional range. An updated distribution and distributional map for O. dentipennis is presented based on the examination of 12 specimens, 7 recently collected. The species occurs in a relatively large area of the Atlantic Rainforest, covering from the Serra dos Órgãos, in Rio de Janeiro State, to the Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba, in Santo André, São Paulo State. It can also endure an altitudinal amplitude of 1100m from the lowest to the highest record. The rather large distribution of the species contrasts with its scarcity in collections, raising questions about the best sampling method for it, the species life cycle duration, or the species populations, which may be reduced due to deforestation or sensitivity to a particular factor.

title: Sokolowia Horizon Of The Ziarat Formation (Eastern Alborz, Iran): Biostratigraphic And Paleogeographic Implications

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Hadi, Mehdi, Salahi, Amir, Nasiri, Yaghub, Mosaddegh, Hossein (2019): Sokolowia Horizon Of The Ziarat Formation (Eastern Alborz, Iran): Biostratigraphic And Paleogeographic Implications. Acta Palaeontologica Romaniae 15 (2): 15-27, DOI: 10.35463/j.apr.2019.02.02, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.35463/j.apr.2019.02.02Abstract The present study deals with molluscan accumulations of the Sokolowia horizon, which is a key-bed in the middle Eocene of the Kalateh section (Ziarat Formation, Eastern Alborz, Iran). The age of this “key horizon” is attributed to Bartonian based on presence of larger benthic foraminifera species such as Nummulites lyelli (D'Archiac & Haime), Orbitoclypeus zitteli (Checchia-Rispoli) and Asterocyclina stella stella (Gümbel) immediately below it. The paleogeographic distribution of Sokolowia occurrence from Tarim Basin in eastern Central Asia to the Transylvanian Basin in southeastern Europe indicates a middle Eocene seaway along the southern margin of an Eurasian epicontinental sea. In particular, the comparison of middle Paleogene sequences in different Central Asian regions reveals an apparent similarity between those basins pointing to their genetic relationship.

title: A new montane species of stream-dwelling treefrog (Pelodryadidae) from the Star Mountains, Papua New Guinea

(2025): A new montane species of stream-dwelling treefrog (Pelodryadidae) from the Star Mountains, Papua New Guinea. Zootaxa 5661 (2): 221-236, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5661.2.4, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5661.2.4AbstractWe describe a new species of pelodryadid treefrog from a montane stream traversing karst terrain in the Star Mountains of western Papua New Guinea. Litoria stellarum sp. nov. is morphologically similar to L. becki (Loveridge, 1945), a species that is widespread in montane grassland habitats in central Papua New Guinea, but can be distinguished by its more angular snout and the presence of vocal slits in adult males (absent in L. becki). Based on its morphology and ecology we are confident the new species belongs to a monophyletic clade of torrent-breeding Litoria that reaches its greatest diversity in the rugged mountains of New Guinea’s Central Cordillera. Litoria stellarum sp. nov. is the second species in the radiation of torrent-breeding Litoria to be described from high-elevation karst habitats in Papua New Guinea, however in the absence of better ecological data it is not clear whether these species can be considered karst specialists. The single known locality for the species is in a restricted high elevation habitat suggesting it might be vulnerable to climate change. However, we suggest it should be considered Data Deficient until such time as its distribution and ecology can be better assessed.

Phytotaxa 531 (2): 97-110, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.531.2.2AbstractKnautia goecmenii, from Nif Mountain (İzmir) in western Anatolia (Turkey), is described as a new species based on morphological and molecular evidence. Its phylogenetic relationships within the genus are provided based on the nuclearencoded ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood analyses of the molecular data clearly showed that K. goecmenii falls into a clade together with morphologically irrelevant annual species from sections Knautia and Tricheroides. From a morphological perspective, by having a suffrutescent and caespitose habitus with very rich stemmed base (up to 152 stems) without basal leaf rosettes and showing very pale whitish-lilac flowers, K. goecmenii is placed in a unique position within genus Knautia. Both the main morphological features of K. goecmenii and its phylogenetic position make difficult to accommodate it any extant Knautia sections. Finally, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threat category is assessed and observations on the ecology of the only known population of this rare species are noted.

title: A new southern Atlantic cryptic marine shrimp species of Acetes (Decapoda, Sergestidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bochini, Gabriel L., Costa, Rogério C., Mantelatto, Fernando L. (2024): A new southern Atlantic cryptic marine shrimp species of Acetes (Decapoda, Sergestidae). ZooKeys 1211: 193-209, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1211.128059AbstractA recently published molecular phylogenetic analysis, focusing on selected Western Atlantic subspecies of Acetes americanus Ortmann, 1893 and allies, was inconclusive about relationships among these members. This previous study found three groups that split into two distinct lineages: Acetes americanus (Brazil 1) (= A. americanus sensu stricto) and Acetes americanus (Brazil 2) + A. americanus (USA). Combined morphometry and molecular analyses applied to members of the group Acetes americanus (Brazil 2) revealed a new unidentified species genetically related to the A. americanus representatives. However, at that time, no conclusive morphological characters were found to identify it. In the present study, following an in-depth morphological analysis of specimens from the three groups, including data on the type series and consideration of the subtle distinctions of members of each lineage, morphological features of the reproductive structures (petasma and genital sternite) were found to characterize the new species, which is formally described and named herein.

(Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Canthocamptidae), a new hyporheic species from central Vietnam. Subterranean Biology 53: 13-29, DOI: 10.3897/subtbiol.53.161072AbstractA new species of the genus Elaphoidella Chappuis, 1929 has been discovered in the hyporheic zone of a stream in Quang Nam Province, central Vietnam. This represents the second endemic species of Elaphoidella recorded in Vietnam, following E. vietnamica Borutzky, 1967. The newly described species, E. quangnamensis sp. nov., is morphologically most similar to E. brancelji Sanoamuang & Watiroyram, 2021 from Thailand, a member of Group VIII (the sewelli group) sensu Lang (1948). Both species share several key morphological features, including a serrated free margin on urosomites 2–4 dorsally, anal operculum with more than 25 spinules along free distal margin, caudal rami lacking spinules on the inner margin, and similar armature on P 1 and P 3 – P 6. The new species differs markedly from E. brancelji in some characters: I) caudal rami parallel in the new species but slightly divergent in E. brancelji; II) caudal ramus length / width ratio in the new species about 1.2 times but 2.0 times in E. brancelji; III) base of caudal ramus with two spinules ventrally but four spinules in E. brancelji; IV) P 1 Enp- 1 about 1 / 2 length of Exp - 2 but 2 / 3 in E. brancelji; V) P 2 Enp - 2 of the new species with three setae but four setae in E. brancelji; VI) P 5 baseoendopod of the new species with prominence at insertion of seta II but absent in E. brancelji. The new species represents the sixth known species of Elaphoidella recorded from Vietnam.

title: Description of the skeleton of the fossil beaked whale Messapicetus gregarius: searching potential proxies for deep-diving abilities

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ramassamy, Benjamin, Lambert, Olivier, Collareta, Alberto, Urbina, Mario, Bianucci, Giovanni (2018): Description of the skeleton of the fossil beaked whale Messapicetus gregarius: searching potential proxies for deep-diving abilities. Fossil Record 21 (1): 11-32, DOI: 10.5194/fr-21-11-2018, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5194/fr-21-11-2018Abstract. Ziphiidae (beaked whales) are a successful family of medium- to large-sized toothed whales. Their extant members perform regular deep dives beyond the photic zone to forage for cephalopods and fish. Conversely, extinct long-snouted stem ziphiids are interpreted as epipelagic predators. However, some aspects of this hypothesis remain unclear due to the lack of clear morphological proxies for recognizing regular deep divers.We compared the forelimb, neck, and pterygoid sinus system of the fossil ziphiid Messapicetus gregarius with those of other odontocetes to evaluate the potential of these body regions as proxies to assess deep-diving specialization. The reconstructed musculature of the neck and forelimb of M. gregarius was also compared with that of other odontocetes. We also quantified variation in the proportions of the forelimb and the hamular fossa of the pterygoid sinus (HF) using 16 linear measurements. The degree of association between diving behaviour in extant odontocetes and these measurements was evaluated with and without phylogenetic correction.Reconstruction of the neck musculature suggests that M. gregarius possessed a neck more flexible than most extant ziphiids due to the lower degree of fusion of the cervical vertebrae and the large insertions for the M. longus colli and Mm. intertransversarii ventrales cervicis. While neck rigidity might be related to deep diving, differences in neck flexibility among extant ziphiids indicate a more complex functional interpretation. The relationship between forelimb morphology and diving behaviour was not significant, both with and without phylogenetic correction, suggesting that it cannot be used to assess deep-diving abilities with the parameters considered here. Measurements of the HF revealed successful to evaluate deep-diving abilities in odontocetes, with an enlargement of this structure in deep divers. Considering other evidence that suggests an epipelagic behaviour, we propose different scenarios to explain the observation of an enlarged HF in M. gregarius: (1) this species may have fed at different depths; (2) it performed deep dives to avoid potential predators; or (3) the enlarged HF and deep-diving habitat correspond to an ancestral condition, with M. gregarius returning to a more epipelagic habitat.

The new species is distinguished by the following combination of characters: a prominent hexagon-shaped unilobed proboscis with five large-sized conical tubercles on anterior margin, and three or four medium-sized conical tubercles on anteroventral region; transverse lobe with 13−35 small- to medium-sized conical tubercles; lateral surface of snout swollen with 8−18 small- to medium-sized conical tubercles; 31−32 lateral-line scales including three pored scales on caudal fin; and a large arch-shaped black spot on each side of opercle, immediately anterior to upper angle of gill opening. The taxonomic status of several species of Garra from Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram, is reviewed and accordingly Garra minimus is considered as a junior synonym of G. quadratirostris; G. nigricauda as a junior synonym of G. arunachalensis; G. alticaputus and G. kimini as junior synonyms of G. birostris; and G. tyao as a junior synonym of G. rakhinica.
