title: A new gorgonian Pseudopterogorgia nanjiensis sp. nov. (Cnidaria, Octocorallia, Gorgoniidae) from the Nanji Islands, China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sun, Tingzai, Xu, Yu, Xu, Kuidong, Chen, Shun, Xie, Shangwei, Zhan, Zifeng (2024): A new gorgonian Pseudopterogorgia nanjiensis sp. nov. (Cnidaria, Octocorallia, Gorgoniidae) from the Nanji Islands, China. ZooKeys 1213: 237-249, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1213.126841AbstractMembers of the genus Pseudopterogorgia Kükenthal, 1919 are widely distributed in shallow water of the Indo-West Pacific. During an investigation of benthic biodiversity in the subtidal zone surrounding the Nanji Islands in the East China Sea, two specimens of Pseudopterogorgia were collected and described as a new species based on an integrated morphological-molecular approach. Pseudopterogorgia nanjiensis sp. nov. is most similar to P. fredericki Williams & Vennam, 2001 in the irregular branching form and indistinct scaphoids, but differs by the coenenchymal sclerite content of distinct capstans and a few warty spindles and radiates (vs. mostly warty spindles and a few capstans), and a purplish colony (vs. white, pink to deep rose). Molecular phylogenetic analyses, based on the mtMutS - COI gene sequences, delineated a monophyletic clade encompassing all assessed Pseudopterogorgia species. Within this clade, P. nanjiensis sp. nov. showed a close phylogenetic affinity with both P. fredericki and P. australiensis Ridley, 1884.

title: The description of a critically endangered new species of seasonal killifish, Nothobranchius sylvaticus (Cyprinodontiformes: Nothobranchiidae), a relict species from an East African forest refugium in south-eastern Kenya

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bellstedt, Dirk U., Nagy, Béla, Merwe, P. De Wet Van Der, Cotterill, Fenton P. D., Luke, Quentin, Watters, Brian R. (2025): The description of a critically endangered new species of seasonal killifish, Nothobranchius sylvaticus (Cyprinodontiformes: Nothobranchiidae), a relict species from an East African forest refugium in south-eastern Kenya. Zootaxa 5601 (1): 86-108, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5601.1.4, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5601.1.4AbstractA new species, Nothobranchius sylvaticus sp. nov. is described from ephemeral swamps in open areas of the Gongoni Forest in the seasonal Mkurumudzi system in south-eastern coastal Kenya. The species occupies a unique ecological niche as it inhabits small seasonal wetland habitats situated in a relict forest ecosystem. Nothobranchius sylvaticus sp. nov. is distinguished from all other members of the genus by: iridescent light blue scales on its trunk extending to cover the entire caudal peduncle; dorsal portion of head grey with distinct red lobes along the supraorbital canal; posterior scale margins on the postorbital portion of the opercle creating two pronounced brown-red oblique bars; dorsal and anal fins golden, marked with dark grey dots and stripes proximally and medially, merging into a uniform dark grey zone distally; caudal fin dark red to red proximally, plain red medially and with a slender black distal band. Phylogenetic analysis of sequences of the mitochondrial ND2 and COI, and the nuclear Glyt, MyH6 and SNX33 genes, retrieve the new species as a phylogenetically distinct lineage, in the so-called Coastal Inland clade sister to subgenus Aphyobranchius Wildekamp, 1977 and subgenus Adiniops Myers, 1924.Increasing impacts on land and water resources will continue to cause habitat degradation in the remnant forest ecosystem, exposing the ecologically vulnerable population of this newly described species to severe threats. Such changes may prevent the species from completing all stages of its annual life cycle in its ephemeral aquatic habitats, because these killifishes depend on a clay-rich substratum for embryonic development of the buried eggs through the dry season. This new species qualifies for a conservation status of Critically Endangered.

This new species is morphologically allied to N. thromboides. However, the maximum growth temperature of this new species is lower than that of N. thromboides and it grows slower than N. thromboides. The phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU), nuclear large subunit (nucLSU) and translation elongationfactor-like (EFL) reveals that Neoconidiobolus is divided into three clades, and N. pseudothromboides sp. nov. is closely related to N. lachnodes rather than N. thromboides. Morphological comparisons between N. pseudothromboides sp. nov. and its affinities are provided herein.

title: Identification and morphological description of tadpoles of the horned frog (Amphibia: Anura: Megophryidae) Pelobatrachus stejenegeri from the southern Philippines

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Flores, Andrie Bon A., Diesmos, Arvin C., Nuneza, Olga P. (2023): Identification and morphological description of tadpoles of the horned frog (Amphibia: Anura: Megophryidae) Pelobatrachus stejenegeri from the southern Philippines. Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 71: 658-668, DOI: 10.26107/RBZ-2023-0049Abstract. The primary purpose of this study is to successfully identify and characterise the tadpoles of Pelobatrachus stejnegeri in terms of colouration, external morphology, and oral disc morphology. In this study, a detailed description of the tadpoles through photographs and sketches is provided. Their different stages from stages 25 to 41 were also identified through a stereomicroscope. They were then photographed individually, and 20 different morphometric variables were measured using ImageJ software. The results showed that tadpoles of Pelobatrachus stejnegeri are small to medium in size and have an oblong and depressed body shape, dorsolateral eye position, round pupils which are oval in shape, and a dark brown line that runs to the eye. The vent tube is medial, having a pointed dorsal fin, and a relatively longer lower fin height than its upper fin. It also has an orange to brown pigmentation and possesses jade-like green speckles on the ventral body; after preservation, it eventually turns grey and the speckles are no longer present. The total length of the tadpole ranges from 28.19 to 37.14 mm from stages 25 to 41. The oral disc structure is umbelliform, with a bi-triangular to star-like shape, which it uses to filter food and attach to debris. This makes Pelobatrachus stejnegeri tadpoles unique among the tadpoles in the area. However, they are often overlooked because most studies only concern their adult stages. As only a few tadpoles in the country have been described, this study would still greatly contribute to tadpole research in the country.

title: From historical expedition diaries to whole genome sequencing: A case study of the likely extinct Red Sea torpedo ray

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Palandačić, Anja, Kapun, Martin, Greve, Carola, Schell, Tilman, Kirchner, Sandra, Kruckenhauser, Luise, Szucsich, Nikolaus, Bogutskaya, Nina (2024): From historical expedition diaries to whole genome sequencing: A case study of the likely extinct Red Sea torpedo ray. Zoologica Scripta 53 (1): 32-51, DOI: 10.1111/zsc.12632, URL: https://doi.org/10.1111/zsc.12632AbstractTorpedo rays (Torpedinidae, Torpediniformes) are small to moderately large batoids that produce an electric discharge. They are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical seas and are, as a result of their bottom-dwelling behaviour, susceptible to trawl fishing and often end up as victims of bycatch. The distribution ranges of most recognized species seem to be restricted; however, their species-level systematics is not adequately resolved. In the genus Torpedo, in which many species require revision, there are possibly several undescribed species, while numerous misidentifications add to the complexity of the issue. In the latest lists of living rays, 13 species are accepted in the genus Torpedo, including three of doubtful validity and several recently discovered undescribed species. Among the valid species is the critically endangered, possibly extinct, Torpedo suessii Steindachner, 1898, the Red Sea torpedo, of which only four specimens have been recorded in the literature until now, three of which still exist in the fish collection of the Natural History Museum of Vienna. Museum collections are the most important archive of biodiversity on Earth, and are increasingly being used for various studies, including phylogenetics, population genomics, and biogeography. Nevertheless, molecular analysis of old museum material remains challenging because the genetic material has degraded, is fragmented, and of low quantity. In molecular taxonomy, the necessity of including type specimens as name-bearing specimens is increasingly recognized. Here, the extended specimen approach was applied to re-describe the lectotype of T. suessii. The approach included research of historical information and whole genome sequencing, followed by genome assembly and phylogenetic analysis.K E Y W O R D Sextended specimen approach, historical DNA, Torpedo, type materialThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Following the works of this author and other evidence, the specimens making up the type series of S. spinosissima and a lectotype are fixed, redescribed, and illustrated; these are then compared with this species’ unique available voucher and with S. paradoxa type material. Specimens making up the S. spinosissima type series are fixed including only four of the five individuals stored in the collection of Zoological Museum of Hamburg and, the voucher is identified as S. spinosissima. Its sister species, S. paradoxa, is confirmed as a morphologically and molecularly distinguishable taxon. Additionally, new data on the S. spinosissima type series are provideda and observations involving the excluded original type, reidentified as Ethmostigmus rubripes rubripes (Brandt, 1840), are given. Finally, the presence of S. multidens Newport, 1844 in the Philippines is proposed as dubious and a revised key for the Scolopendra of this archipelago is presented.
