title: Species diversity of bdelloid rotifer (Rotifera, Bdelloidea) in different areas in China, with a description of two new species

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Wang, Wenbo, Yang, Yufeng, Örstan, Aydin, He, Zhili, Wang, Qing (2025): Species diversity of bdelloid rotifer (Rotifera, Bdelloidea) in different areas in China, with a description of two new species. ZooKeys 1229: 1-23, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1229.113385AbstractChina is one of the most biodiverse countries worldwide, with a variety of landforms and climatic conditions. However, the diversity and biogeographic distribution of bdelloid rotifers, one of the most widespread microscopic organisms worldwide, have received little attention in China. In order to understand the species diversity of bdelloid rotifers in China, a large-scale survey of different areas (such as karst areas, islands, and plateaus) and microhabitats (such as moss, leaf litter, and soil) was conducted using 299 samples from seven provinces from 2018 to 2022. A total of 109 bdelloid rotifer species were identified, including three newly recorded genera, 26 newly recorded species, and two new species (Adineta jinan Wang & Yang, sp. nov. and Philodina chinensis Wang & Örstan, sp. nov.), increasing the species richness of bdelloid rotifers in China to 141. Morphological variations among P. chinensis populations from three different regions were identified. This study indicated that the species diversity of bdelloid rotifers in China is high, especially in the Oriental region, and both endemic and rare species exist in different regions and habitats. Further, the challenges are highlighted with corresponding suggestions for research on the diversity and biogeographic distribution of bdelloid rotifers in China. Notably, our findings indicated that a survey of bdelloid rotifers in China is indispensable for a comprehensive understanding of their global biodiversity and biogeography.

Zoosystematics and Evolution 100 (4): 1201-1209, DOI: 10.3897/zse.100.130676AbstractOur study contains the first molecular phylogeny of Chinese enids based on the mitochondrial markers cytochrome oxidase c (COI) and 16 S rRNA (16 S). We have sequenced 19 species belonging to 10 out of the 12 currently accepted genera. A new species, Petraeomastus limenghuai Chen, Dai, Wu & Ouyang, sp. nov., is described from the Lancangjiang River Valley in southwest China based on comparative morphology and molecular phylogeny. The currently accepted classification of Chinese enids relies largely on shell morphology and is deemed to require systematic revision.

title: Coarazuphium bambui (Carabidae: Zuphiini), a new cave-dwelling beetle from the threatened region of Serra do Ramalho, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Pellegrini, Thais Giovannini, Bichuette, Maria Elina, Vieira, Letícia (2022): Coarazuphium bambui (Carabidae: Zuphiini), a new cave-dwelling beetle from the threatened region of Serra do Ramalho, Brazil. Zootaxa 5129 (4): 557-568, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5129.4.5AbstractTo date, 20 species of obligate cave-dwelling beetles are known from Brazil, and 12 belong to the Coarazuphium genus. In this paper, we describe Coarazuphium bambui sp. n., from two specimens, one male and one female, collected in the Gruna Boca da Lapa cave located in the municipality of Feira da Mata (Bahia state, Brazil). The most striking difference between C. bambui and other species of the genus is the presence of three pairs of fixed setae posteriorly on the head, combined with the slightly elytral sinuosity. We also provide an updated key for species identification of the Coarazuphium genus. Finally, we highlight the importance of the Serra do Ramalho karst area for the conservation of troglobite diversity in the Brazilian context.

The new species is included in the tropicus group, which is mainly distributed in the tropical and subtropical waters of Southeast Asia. The species can be distinguished from all other species of the tropicus group by the asymmetrical fifth pedigerous somite with notched left margin and triangular lobe in the right, hyaline coupling device with larger left process, 2 ventrolateral spines in the genital compound somite, and caudal rami with 2 medial rounded processes in the female. In the male, serrated ridge of the right antennule slightly raised from the surface plane, beak-shaped medial process on the right fifth leg coxa, triangular medial process on the basis, and strongly curved subdistal seta on the left fifth leg. Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I sequences of the specimens obtained with 642 base pairs confirmed the female–male correspondence and revealed the genetic identity of the species, which is herein compared with mtCOI sequences of congeners.

Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (3): 1123-1136, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.145776AbstractThe genus Bagarius is a group of large, benthic, predatory catfishes found in South and Southeast Asia. Two new species of Bagarius, B. protos Zeng & Chen, sp. nov., and B. dolichonema Zeng & Chen, sp. nov., are described from the Salween River Basin, Yunnan Province, China, and Irrawaddy River Basin, Myanmar, respectively. Bagarius protos and B. dolichonema both differ from B. vegrandis and B. suchus in their large size and the adipose-fin origin being nearly vertical to the anal-fin origin. Bagarius protos most closely resembles B. lica and B. rutilus in overall morphology but can be distinguished from B. lica by the absence of the brow ridge formed by the lateral margin of the frontal and from B. rutilus by the dark yellow (instead of orange) coloration of the fins in life. It further differs from two other congeners in its short filamentous extensions of the pectoral-fin spine. Bagarius dolichonema is morphologically and genetically most similar to B. bagarius; it can be distinguished from B. bagarius by strong dorsal spines slightly flattened immediately anterior to the adipose fin, distally slender neural spines of the 4 th – 6 th vertebrae, and shorter filamentous extensions of the pectoral-fin spine. This new species further differs from three other congeners by its longer filamentous extensions of the pectoral-fin spine and weak notches in the anterodorsal margin of the first dorsal pterygiophores. Molecular phylogeny based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene also confirms the validity of these two new species. The estimated K 2 P genetic distances between B. protos and congenerics range from 8.0 % to 12.6 %, and between B. dolichonema and congenerics range from 5.7 % to 12.1 %.

The results showed that most tRNA genes of Parasitidae had a typical cloverleaf secondary structure; the base substitutions or mismatches occurred during the folding process, and the stem region showed less base variation than the loop region, showing high conservation. The base composition showed a clear preference for A + T. Relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) analysis showed that the third codon of tRNA genes in Parasitidae species preferred to use codons that ended with A or U. ENC-plot analysis showed that most genes were distributed under the standard curve, indicating that codon usage in Parasitidae species was more influenced by natural selection pressure. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Parasitidae is a monophyletic group. This study complements the research on mitochondrial tRNA genes in Parasitidae, which has far-reaching implications for understanding the importance of tRNA gene sequences and secondary structures in comparative genomics and facilitates further studies on the evolution of species in the Parasitidae.Received 23 April 2022 Accepted 20 December 2022 Published online 11 January 2023
