title: Description of Brachistosternus pehuenche sp. nov. (Scorpiones, Bothriuridae), a new scorpion species from the upper Maule Valley, in the southern Chilean Andes

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ojanguren-Affilastro, Andrés A., Alfaro, Fermín M., Iuri, Hernán A., Camousseigt-Montolivo, Bernardino, Pizarro-Araya, Jaime (2025): Description of Brachistosternus pehuenche sp. nov. (Scorpiones, Bothriuridae), a new scorpion species from the upper Maule Valley, in the southern Chilean Andes. Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (3): 969-981, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.146451AbstractBrachistosternus pehuenche sp. nov. (Scorpiones, Bothriuridae) is described from the Mauline Andean forests of the northern Chilean Patagonia, located within the upper basin of the Maule Valley. Its unique geography and the discovery of this partial isolation, as a result of the surrounding higher altitudes, support the role of this valley as a biodiversity hotspot, fostering a variety of endemic epigean arthropods. The discovery of this third endemic scorpion species highlights the area’s ecological uniqueness. The species is most similar to Brachistosternus negrei, a species found in the southern Chilean forests, but distinct morphological traits, such as pigmentation patterns and metasomal structures, clearly separate the two. This study underscores the ecological value of the Maule Valley, which, despite its high endemism, remains unprotected and is subject to significant anthropogenic pressures, including agriculture, hydropower projects, and international transit routes. The need for conservation initiatives in this region is critical to preserve its exceptional biodiversity. This work not only adds to the taxonomy of Brachistosternus but also raises fundamental questions about the processes driving endemism in the Andes and the broader implications for the conservation of montane ecosystems.

title: The supposedly unmistakable mistaken: Carcina ingridmariae sp. nov., a surprising example of overlooked diversity from Europe and the Near East (Lepidoptera, Peleopodidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Huemer, Peter (2025): The supposedly unmistakable mistaken: Carcina ingridmariae sp. nov., a surprising example of overlooked diversity from Europe and the Near East (Lepidoptera, Peleopodidae). Alpine Entomology 9: 51-63, DOI: 10.3897/alpento.9.158239AbstractCarcina ingridmariae sp. nov. is described from the eastern Mediterranean region (Greece, Croatia, Cyprus, Türkiye). The species differs strikingly from the so far only representative of the genus in the Western Palearctic, C. quercana (Fabricius, 1775), in the DNA barcode and the male and female genitalia, but less conspicuously in habitual characteristics. All diagnostically relevant characters are figured and discussed. The usefulness of comprehensive genetic inventories for recognizing species that have been inadequately considered because they are regarded as unmistakable is discussed.

title: DNA barcode based phylogeographic analysis of the Aricia anteros (Freyer, 1838) species complex (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) with description of a new subspecies from SE Europe

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Lukhtanov, Vladimir A., Botman, Roman V., Gagarina, Anastasia V. (2024): DNA barcode based phylogeographic analysis of the Aricia anteros (Freyer, 1838) species complex (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) with description of a new subspecies from SE Europe. Zootaxa 5468 (3): 505-522, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5468.3.5, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5468.3.5AbstractThe complex of taxa closely related to Aricia anteros includes the species A. anteros sensu stricto, A. crassipuncta, A. bassoni, and A. vandarbani. All of them are sometimes considered as subspecies of a single polytypic species. Representatives of this complex are found in the Balkan Peninsula, Asia Minor, the Levant, the Caucasus, Transcaucasia, and Northern and Western Iran. In addition, an isolated population of A. anteros occurs in the Northern Black Sea region. In this work, based on DNA barcodes of all species and main populations of the complex, we show the existence of seven differentiated mitochondrial lineages: anteros (predominant in the Balkans), crassipuncta (predominant in Asia Minor), bassoni (the Levant), vandarbani (Talysh Mts), varicolor (Zagros Mts), dombaiensis (the Caucasus) and kalmius (Kalmius River basin in the Northern Black Sea region). The taxa of the A. anteros species complex are allopatric, except for A. anteros s.s. and A. crassipuncta, which have a mosaic distribution in eastern Anatolia and Transcaucasia. On the Balkan Peninsula, within the species A. anteros s.s, both the anteros and the crassipuncta mitochondrial haplogroups are found. This pattern is likely a consequence of interspecific hybridization and mitochondrial introgression. Based on mitochondrial DNA, the taxon A. crassipuncta mehmetcik from SE Anatolia is indistinguishable from A. crassipuncta crassipuncta, and the taxon varicolor from Central Iran is closer to the geographically distant European A. anteros than to the Anatolian A. crassipuncta. The geographically isolated and genetically differentiated population from the Kalmius River basin in the Northern Black Sea region is described here as a new subspecies.

RÉSUMÉCapparis trisonthiae (Capparaceae), nouvelle espèce de Thaïlande.Une nouvelle espèce de Capparaceae, Capparis trisonthiae Srisanga & Chayamarit, du Doi Phu Kha National Park, province de Nan, nord de la Thaïlande est décrite et illustrée. Elle appartient à Capparis sect. Monostichocalyx Radlk. et ressemble à C. klossii Ridl., endémique de l’Isthme de Kra au sud de la Thaïlande, dont elle se distingue par plusieurs caractères des feuilles et des fleurs.The genus Capparis L. (Capparaceae) consists of about 250 species distributed mostly in tropical and subtropical regions (J ACOBS 1965; MABBERLEY 1997). In the account of Capparis for the Flora of Thailand, 25 indigenous species and one doubtful species due to the lack of good material were recorded (CHAYAMARIT 1991). Recently, one additional taxon, Capparis sikkimensis Kurz subsp. yunnanensis (Craib & W.W. Sm.) Jacobs was newly recorded for Thailand (SRISANGA et al. 2003). During a botanical expedition by the first author to Doi Phu Kha National Park, Nan Province, northern Thailand, yet another undescribed species was discovered, which we describe here as Capparis trisonthiae. It belongs to section Monostichocalyx Radlk., according to JACOBS (1965), characterized by well developed and persistent leaves, sepals all free in bud and both sepals of a pair equal. This section contains about 100 species distributed in Africa (except the dry northern part), Asia and all over Malesia to the Pacific region.

In this study, Halymenia samples were collected from nine locations along the coast of Viet Nam (8°– 17°N) in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand. Morphological observations indicated that almost all samples were Halymenia malaysiana which was supported by two genetic markers, rbc L and COI- 5 P. However, the presence of Halymenia dilatata in Viet Nam is still unresolved. Based on rbc L, the common haplotype in Viet Nam was R 1 as in Malaysia and three new haplotypes were added to H. malaysiana for Southeast Asia. Genetic differences were evident between the Sunda Shelf (Viet Nam and Malaysia) populations and those in Philippine waters. We suggest that a combination of morphology and molecular data would be useful to accurately assess the species diversity and phylogeography of Halymenia in Viet Nam and Southeast Asia region.*Corresponding authors: Xuan-Vy Nguyen, Institute of Oceanography, Viet Nam Academy of Science and Technology, 01 Cau Da, Nha Trang City, Viet Nam; and Graduate University of Science and Technology, 18 Hoang Quoc Viet, Cau Giay, Ha Noi, Viet Nam, E-mail: nguyenxuanvi@gmail.com; and Karla Į.
