title: Extending the fossil record of Miocene neotropical epiphyte communities

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Feldberg, Kathrin, Kaasalainen, Ulla, Mamontov, Yuriy S., Gradstein, S. Robbert, Schäfer-Verwimp, Alfons, Divakar, Pradeep K., Schmidt, Alexander R. (2025): Extending the fossil record of Miocene neotropical epiphyte communities. Fossil Record 28 (1): 79-102, DOI: 10.3897/fr.28.137758AbstractDominican amber (15–20 Ma) and Mexican amber (15–23 Ma) are valuable sources of fossil epiphytic bryophytes, ferns, and lichens. Both ambers derive from resins of Hymenaea, a genus in the Fabaceae family still occurring in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean today. The amber inclusions provide rare glimpses into Miocene neotropical epiphyte communities in life-like preservation. In this study, we extend the fossil record of these communities and describe Frullania chiapasensis and Thysananthus patrickmuelleri, two new fossil species of leafy liverworts from Mexican amber. Frullania chiapasensis is the fourth representative of this genus from tropical amber. The genus Thysananthus is rather diverse in Dominican amber, and it is here newly recorded from Mexican amber. Additionally, we treat five new fossils at genus level, including one leafy liverwort (Lejeunea sp.) as well as three lichens from Dominican amber and one lichen from Mexican amber, all belonging to the extant genus Parmotrema. All four cryptogamic genera are common extant elements of tropical and subtropical forests. The new fossil evidence substantiates that Miocene neotropical cryptogamic communities were very similar to extant ones at generic level.

title: A phylogenetic analysis based on morphology reveals the placement of Lycomesus Zaragoza-Caballero & González-Ramírez, 2019 and Lyconotus Green, 1949 within Lycini (Coleoptera: Lycidae), with the description of a new genus from North America

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article González-Ramírez, Mireya, Zaragoza-Caballero, Santiago, Morrone, Juan J., Ochoterena-Booth, Helga (2025): A phylogenetic analysis based on morphology reveals the placement of Lycomesus Zaragoza-Caballero & González-Ramírez, 2019 and Lyconotus Green, 1949 within Lycini (Coleoptera: Lycidae), with the description of a new genus from North America. European Journal of Taxonomy 1022: 202-242, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1022.3089, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3089/13783Abstract. Lycini are a species-rich tribe within the Lycinae, which are distributed across all biogeographic regions worldwide. Current classification of Lycini has been based exclusively on molecular evidence, and the North American species have been poorly represented. The placement of Lycomesus Zaragoza-Caballero & González-Ramírez, 2019 and Lyconotus Green, 1949 remains uncertain. In order to elucidate the phylogenetic position of these genera within the North American genera and to propose morphological characters that support them, we conducted phylogenetic analyses using parsimony and model-based approaches. Our morphology-based dataset included 91 adult characters from representatives of five genera and 33 species of the Lycini genera of the New and Old Worlds. We propose a new classification of the North American Lycini, consistent with the phylogenetic hypotheses. This includes the following taxa: Lycomesus Zaragoza-Caballero & González-Ramírez, 2019, Lyconotus Green, 1949 stat. rev., Lycorectus González-Ramírez & Zaragoza-Caballero gen. nov., Neolycus Bourgeois, 1883 and Rhyncheros LeConte, 1881. Additionally, we provide a key and diagnoses for all North American Lycini genera, as well as the morphological characters of males and females that define these genera. Our results indicate the necessity for a phylogenetic analysis that incorporates South American Lycini. This will enable a more precise generic classification of American Lycini.

title: Triassic iotacyphids shed light on the venation of crown Thysanoptera and their stem relatives (Condylognatha: Holothysanoptera)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Boderau, Mathieu, Montagna, Matteo, Magnani, Fabio, Magoga, Giulia, Shmakov, Alexey, Engel, Michael S., Nel, Patricia, Nel, André (2025): Triassic iotacyphids shed light on the venation of crown Thysanoptera and their stem relatives (Condylognatha: Holothysanoptera). Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny 83: 521-530, DOI: 10.3897/asp.83.e161465AbstractWe report the discovery of the first Triassic ‘ shielded thrips’ of the family Iotacyphidae, represented by two species: Triassocypha prima gen. et sp. nov. and T. secunda sp. nov. The species are described and illustrated, and comparisons are made with other stem- Thysanoptera lineages. The unique wing venation of Iotacyphidae and related families is reinterpreted in the light of these new fossils. The venation pattern supports the diagnosis of the family, as well as of higher clades within the broader lineage that includes both thrips and their extinct relatives (in the total group Holothysanoptera, formerly Thripida), and contributes to clarifying the systematics of thrips.

title: Xoconochcothelphusa, a new genus for Ehecatusa chiapensis (Rodríguez & Smalley, 1972), with notes on Spirothelphusa Pretzmann, 1965 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Pseudothelphusidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Villalobos-Hiriart, José Luis, Moreno-Juárez, Eric G., Álvarez, Fernando (2024): Xoconochcothelphusa, a new genus for Ehecatusa chiapensis (Rodríguez & Smalley, 1972), with notes on Spirothelphusa Pretzmann, 1965 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Pseudothelphusidae). Zootaxa 5523 (2): 171-191, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5523.2.2, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5523.2.2AbstractThe species of the genus Ehecatusa Ng & Low, 2010, E. chiapensis (Rodríguez & Smalley, 1972) and E. mixtepensis (Rodríguez & Smalley, in Smalley, 1970), were referred to as incertae sedis in the classification system of the tribe Pseudothelphusini Ortmann, 1897, proposed by Villalobos-Hiriart (2005) and Villalobos & Alvarez(2010) and as members of the subfamily Pseudothelphusinae in the recent phylogenetic proposal by Álvarez et al. (2020), supported with morphology and molecular information. The recent discovery of a new specimen of E. chiapensis, from Chiapas, Mexico, comes to expose again the unresolved taxonomic situation of this species in the genus Ehecatusa. New morphologic evidence from the male first gonopod and a phylogenetic analysis based on partial DNA sequences of mitochondrial and nuclear genes (COI, 16S and H3), support the placement of the two species in different genera. Consequently, Xoconochcothelphusa n. gen. is erected to receive X. chiapensis n. comb. The phylogenetic relationships of X. chiapensis n. gen., n. comb. and E. mixtepensis with other genera of the subfamily Pseudothelphusinae Ortmann, 1893 (Ehecatusa, Smalleyus Alvarez, 1989, and Spirothelphusa Pretzmann, 1965) distributed in Mexico, are examined and a key to the identification of the genera of this subfamily is provided.

title: Gli ammonoidi della Formazione di Besano pubblicati da Airaghi nel 1912 conservati al Museo Kosmos di Pavia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Pieroni, Vittorio (2023): Gli ammonoidi della Formazione di Besano pubblicati da Airaghi nel 1912 conservati al Museo Kosmos di Pavia. Natural History Sciences 10 (1): 13-26, DOI: 10.4081/nhs.2023.610, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.4081/nhs.2023.610Abstract - Ammonoids from the Besano Formation published by Airaghi in 1912 kept at the Museo Kosmos in Pavia.The ammonoids from the Besano Formation described by Airaghi in two works in 1912, belonging to the collections of the Museo di Storia Naturale di Milano, as well as many other historical collections stored in this museum, have been lost during World War II. However, some plaster casts of these specimens were recently found among the material stored in the new Museo Kosmos in Pavia during a reorganization of the deposits. The plaster casts, probably made by Airaghi, were obtained from the original specimens corresponding to some species erected by Airaghi and coming from the mine of Tre Fontane (Mt. San Giorgio, Switzerland). Lacking original specimens and related stratigraphic data, the present material is herein reclassified and considered as complementary for the corresponding neotypes, previously stated by Rieber in 1973. Among the taxa not revised in literature, two new combinations are here proposed: Serpianites marianii (Airaghi 1912) and? Nevadites bassanii (Airaghi 1912). With these plaster casts we also uncovered some original specimens never described. The majority of the material is paired with the original labels by Airaghi. These ammonoids are characteristic of the lower and upper Secedensis Zone (Upper Anisian, Middle Triassic) of the Besano Formation. It is very likely the herein described specimens were collected in the beds belonging to the Secedensis Zone of the mine Tre Fontane which have been completely removed in the first years of excavation activity.

title: Diversity and differentiation of the Chelonus (Microchelonus) species of the Galapagos archipelago (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sandoval-B, Ada L., Shaw, Scott Richard, Herrera, Henri W., Sarmiento, Carlos E. (2024): Diversity and differentiation of the Chelonus (Microchelonus) species of the Galapagos archipelago (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae). Journal of Hymenoptera Research 97: 825-848, DOI: 10.3897/jhr.97.130713AbstractDespite the significance of the Galapagos archipelago, the richness of diverse groups such as braconid wasps remains poorly studied. Seven species of chelonine Braconidae are recorded for the Galapagos islands for the first time: Chelonus buscki Viereck, 1912, Chelonus carinatus Provancher, 1881, Chelonus johni Marsh, 1979, Chelonus refluus (Papp, 2010), Chelonus sulcifera (Papp, 2016), Chelonus topali (Papp, 1999), and Chelonus turgoclarus (Papp, 2010). No endemic species were identified for the islands. We also explore island population differences with respect to island area, age, and distance between islands. The populations of C. buscki and C. carinatus were statistically differentiated between islands. Morphological differences were associated with island area only for C. buscki while no relationship was found between differentiation and age or geographic distance between islands for any species. These results could be a consequence of recent colonization events.

To date, the taxonomic study on Throscidae from Korea is insufficient, as only a single species has been reported in the fauna prior to this study. We newly recognized three species belonging to the genus Aulonothroscus, which is recorded for the first time from Korea. A new species, Aulonothroscus koreanus sp. nov., is described and two additional species are reported as new to Korea: Aulonothroscus laticollis (Rybiński, 1897) and Aulonothroscus longulus (Weise, 1879), raising the total number of known species of Korea to four. Herein, we provide a key to genera and species, descriptions, and images of diagnostic morphological features of the Throscidae fauna of Korea.

title: Phylogenetic relationships and sectional delineation within Gentiana (Gentianaceae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Favre, Adrien, Pringle, James S., Heckenhauer, Jacqueline, Kozuharova, Ekaterina, Gao, Qingbo, Lemmon, Emily Moriarty, Lemmon, Alan R., Sun, Hang, Tkach, Natalia, Gebauer, Sebastian, Sun, Shan-Shan, Fu, Peng-Cheng (2020): Phylogenetic relationships and sectional delineation within Gentiana (Gentianaceae). TAXON 69 (6): 1221-1238, DOI: 10.1002/tax.12405, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/tax.12405Abstract Gentiana is a sub-cosmopolitan temperate genus among the most species-rich in Gentianaceae. Although molecular data (produced via Sanger sequencing) allowed the resolution of phylogenetic relationships between Gentiana and other genera in subtribe Gentianinae, the validity of sections within the genus remains largely untested. In this study, we evaluated the monophyly of all 14 sections attributed to Gentiana, using 294 unlinked anchored loci, the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) cistron as well as plastid genomes, all produced by anchored hybrid enrichment. We reconstructed phylogenetic relationships by conducting maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses. These analyses represent a significant improvement over previous taxonomic studies using molecular tools. Our results partly correspond to traditional taxonomic treatments, with several sections being well supported as monophyletic, including Gentiana sect. Calathianae, sect. Ciminalis, sect. Cruciata, sect. Frigida, sect. Gentiana and sect. Pneumonanthe. In contrast, G. sect. Isomeria, sect. Microsperma and sect. Monopodiae were found to be polyphyletic, whereas sect. Dolichocarpa and sect. Fimbricorona were nested within sect. Chondrophyllae. We here provide new taxonomic treatments for these sections, mostly based upon the traditional delineation of their series, which were recovered as monophyletic. In our new treatment, Gentiana encompasses 13 sections. A new determination key to the sections of Gentiana is provided.
