title: Cybertype datasets for five new species of Afrotropical Zasphinctus

description: This dataset includes the virtual cybertype datasets for the five new species described in HIta Garcia et al. "A never-ending story: updated 3D cyber-taxonomic revision of the ant genus Zasphinctus Wheeler (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Dorylinae) for the Afrotropical region"

 

Zasphinctus aprilia Hita Garcia and Gómez sp. n.

ZOOBANK: 8B280228-50BF-4A28-B351-DEB174A4E314

The cybertype dataset of the holotype (CASENT0764763) consists of the volumetric raw data (in DICOM format), 3D surface model (in PLY format), still images of multiple body parts from surface volume renderings of the 3D model (in TIFF format), and comparative plates of stacked digital colour images illustrating head in full-face view, profile and dorsal views of the body (in TIFF format). In addition to the data here on Zenodo, we also provide a freely accessible 3D surface model at Sketchfab (https://skfb.ly/p7MpJ).

 

Zasphinctus kouakoui Hita Garcia and Gómez sp. n.

ZOOBANK: 89B2E659-62F2-4F01-AF69-1DEA27AA965B

The cybertype dataset includes data from the holotype (KGCOL00589) and one paratype (CASENT0764653), and consists of the volumetric raw data (in DICOM format), 3D surface model (in PLY format), still images of multiple body parts from surface volume renderings of 3D models (in TIFF format), and comparative plates of stacked digital colour images illustrating head in full-face view, profile and dorsal views of the body (in TIFF format). In addition to the data here on Zenodo, we also provide a freely accessible 3D surface model at Sketchfab (https://skfb.ly/p7MpP and https://skfb.ly/p7MpQ).

 

Zasphinctus lolae Hita Garcia and Gómez sp. n.

ZOOBANK: AD275CEC-9474-42B4-9C44-9D748E5AB86A

The cybertype dataset includes data from the holotype (KGCOL02270) and one paratype (CASENT0764651), and consists of the volumetric raw data (in DICOM format), 3D surface model (in PLY format), still images of multiple body parts from surface volume renderings of 3D models (in TIFF format), and comparative plates of stacked digital colour images illustrating head in full-face view, profile and dorsal views of the body (in TIFF format). In addition to the data here on Zenodo, we also provide two freely accessible 3D surface models at Sketchfab (https://skfb.ly/p7MpV and https://skfb.ly/p7MpW).
