title: Checklist and molecular phylogenetics reveal three taxonomic novelties in Habenaria (Orchidaceae, Orchidoideae) from Chapada dos Veadeiros, Goiás, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Batista, João A. N., Cruz-Lustre, Gabriela, do Vale, Aline A., Bianchetti, Luciano B. (2023): Checklist and molecular phylogenetics reveal three taxonomic novelties in Habenaria (Orchidaceae, Orchidoideae) from Chapada dos Veadeiros, Goiás, Brazil. European Journal of Taxonomy 891: 51-86, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2023.891.2271, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/view/2271Abstract. A comprehensive checklist of Habenaria from Chapada dos Veadeiros, State of Goiás, was performed alongside morphologic and molecular phylogenetic studies, revealing three new taxa endemic to this region. A total of 61 taxa (59 species and two varieties) of Habenaria are recorded for Chapada dos Veadeiros, representing a two-fold increase compared to previous lists and comprising one of the greatest diversities of the genus in Brazil. Of this total, four taxa are locally endemic. Habenaria cultellifolia, until recently known only from the type collection, was rediscovered in the region after 127 years without records and represents this species’ only known extant population. Three proposed new taxa of Habenaria (H. minuticalcar J.A.N. Bat. & Bianch. sp. nov., H. proiteana J.A.N. Bat., A.A. Vale & Bianch. sp. nov., and H. lavrensis var. xanthodactyla J.A.N. Bat.& Bianch. var. nov.) are corroborated by molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear and plastid markers. They are described, illustrated, tentatively assessed as threatened, and compared to phylogenetically and morphologically related species. Since some areas of this mountain range have not yet been floristically sampled, additional taxonomic novelties and new records are still expected in the future.

title: Morphological and molecular revision of the subfamily Heterolepismatinae (Zygentoma, Lepismatidae), with descriptions of two new genera from the Atacama Desert, Chile

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Molero-Baltanás, Rafael, Zúñiga-Reinoso, Álvaro, Gaju-Ricart, Miquel, Predel, Reinhard (2025): Morphological and molecular revision of the subfamily Heterolepismatinae (Zygentoma, Lepismatidae), with descriptions of two new genera from the Atacama Desert, Chile. ZooKeys 1260: 233-278, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1260.151902AbstractThis work aims to update the systematics of silverfish of the subfamily Heterolepismatinae (Zygentoma, Lepismatidae) based on morphological and molecular data of new taxa from the Atacama Desert (Chile) with a comparison with specimens from Argentina, from where species originally described as belonging to the genus Heterolepisma Escherich, 1905 come. This comparison also includes COI gene sequences of Argentine specimens attributed to H. andinum (Silvestri, 1902), and of Australian Heterolepismatinae previously classified as Heterolepisma or Visma Smith et al., 2021. As a result, the genera Lapidisma gen. nov. and Cactisma gen. nov. are described from Chile, and new morphological characters diagnostic of H. andinum are provided. The species Lapidisma paposanum sp. nov. and Cactisma camanchaca sp. nov. are associated with different habitats. The species Heterolepisma annectens (Silvestri, 1924) is tentatively attributed to the first genus (Lapidisma annectens comb. nov.). The molecular data place the three South American genera in separate lineages, but cluster them as a sister group to the Australian Heterolepisma + Visma. This supports the proposal of the genus Silvestrisma gen. nov. to include Australian species previously assigned to Heterolepisma. Additionally, the new name Vistrolepisma nom. nov. is proposed for silverfish species previously assigned to the genus Visma, since this generic name is pre-occupied. With this re-arrangement, the subfamily Heterolepismatinae consists of six genera, pending further studies in other geographic regions where poorly studied species occur that were (and are provisionally) assigned to Heterolepisma.

title: New species and a fascinating diversity of Chironomidae (Diptera, Insecta) in and around an overlooked urban vernal pool

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Namayandeh, Armin, Guerra, Sergio, Islam, Natasha, James, Taylor, Hudson, Patrick L., Ghaderi, Edris, Yusuf, Thameena, Vasquez, Adrian A., Ram, Jeffrey L. (2024): New species and a fascinating diversity of Chironomidae (Diptera, Insecta) in and around an overlooked urban vernal pool. ZooKeys 1208: 133-163, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1208.124495AbstractIn this study, the biodiversity of Chironomidae was investigated in Palmer Park Pond A, an urban vernal pond in Detroit, Michigan, USA. This study is developed as part of our ongoing Public Environmental Outreach Program at the Detroit Exploration and Nature Center in Palmer Park. Twenty-one Chironomidae species were discovered in and on the adjacent riparian vegetation of this pond using molecular and morphological methods. Three species Bryophaenocladius palmerparcum Namayandeh & Hudson sp. nov., Limnophyes stagnum Namayandeh, Guerra & Ram sp. nov., and Rheocricotopus (s. s.) angustus Namayandeh & Hudson sp. nov. are new to science. Bryophaenocladius palmerparcum sp. nov. and L. stagnum sp. nov. are unusual Orthoclads, with B. palmerparcum sp. nov. possessing a setose, short, and wide anal point and L. stagnum sp. nov. lacking lanceolate setae on both sexes. Based on the shape of superior volsella, R. angustus sp. nov., belongs to the effusus group, which was also confirmed by DNA barcoding molecular analysis. In this study, a new faunistic record was also found for the Nearctic as well as four new faunistic records for the state of Michigan. Ephemeral aquatic habitats such as vernal pools are often overlooked or destroyed by urbanization activities, controlling vector species, creating groomed fields, and / or residential development. Therefore, finding these new species demonstrates the biodiversity value of vernal ponds as important habitats, further motivating us to preserve them.

title: Synopsis of the remarkable family Phloeidae (Hemiptera: Pentatomoidea): species identification, chromatic polymorphism and updated distribution

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article López, Guilherme Enrique Luisi, Schwertner, Cristiano Feldens (2024): Synopsis of the remarkable family Phloeidae (Hemiptera: Pentatomoidea): species identification, chromatic polymorphism and updated distribution. Journal of Natural History 57 (45 - 48): 2083-2113, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2023.2284417, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2023.2284417ABSTRACTARTICLE HISTORY Received 14 July 2023 Accepted 8 November 2023The Neotropical family Phloeidae includes three species within two genera, Phloea Lepeletier and Serville, 1825 and Phloeophana Kirkaldy, 1908, distributed in South America. Due to their large size and notable morphological features, such as cryptic colouration, extreme body flattening and lateral expansions around the body, these insects became known as Neotropical bark bugs. These characteristics also make them easily recognisable; nonetheless, the correct identification of the species is still tricky, even more so for the nymphs. In this work, we clarify the identity of the species, present new diagnoses for the family, both genera and all species, and provide an updated identification key to both adults and nymphs of the three species. We also describe and illustrate chromatic variation in Phloea subquadrata Spinola, 1837, and highresolution photos of the three species and important diagnostic characters are provided. Literature information is synthesised and updated, and an exhaustive synonymic list is provided for the three species, including two nomenclatural corrections: Phloeocoris paradoxus Burmeister, 1835 is removed from synonymy with Phloeophana longirostris (Spinola, 1837) and considered a new junior synonym of Phloea corticata (Drury, 1773); and Phlaea paradoxa Signoret, 1863 is removed from synonymy with Phloea corticata and considered a new junior synonym of Phloeophana longirostris. Lastly, we review the distribution of the species based on collection specimens and citizen science data and, for the first time, present distribution maps for the three species of Phloeidae.

title: Dravidacris annamalaica gen. et sp. nov. a new pygmy unicorn grasshopper (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) from South India

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bhaskar, Dhaneesh, Sankararaman, H., Kasalo, Niko (2022): Dravidacris annamalaica gen. et sp. nov. a new pygmy unicorn grasshopper (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae) from South India. Zootaxa 5196 (3): 420-432, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5196.3.6AbstractA new pygmy unicorn genus, Dravidacris Bhaskar et Kasalo, gen. nov., and its single species D. annamalaica Bhaskar et Kasalo sp. nov. are described, restricted to the Eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, one of the southern states of India. Dravidarcis gen. nov. is a unique pygmy grasshopper genus with its long, elevated, and projected vertex. Long and dorsally extended flat fastigium of Dravidacris gen. nov. is similar to that of Pseudomitraria from Africa, Rostella from SE Asia, and Indomiriatra from India. However, those species are different and are not closely related. The new genus is easily separated from the genera mentioned above by the shape of the horn, the way the horn is developed, the expression of medial and median carinae, and the shape of the anterior margin of the pronotum. The implications of differing horn morphologies are discussed, and some taxonomic comments are offered.

title: Unveiling species diversity within early-diverging fungi from China V: Five new species of Absidia (Cunninghamellaceae, Mucoromycota)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ji, Xin-Yu, Ding, Zi-Ying, Nie, Yong, Zhao, Heng, Wang, Shi, Huang, Bo, Liu, Xiao-Yong (2025): Unveiling species diversity within early-diverging fungi from China V: Five new species of Absidia (Cunninghamellaceae, Mucoromycota). MycoKeys 117: 267-288, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.117.149185AbstractAbsidia is widely distributed in soil, koji, and various types of feces. A multi-locus phylogeny covering the small subunit (SSU), internal transcribed spacer (ITS), and large subunit of ribosomal RNA gene (LSU rDNA), translation elongation factor 1 - alpha (TEF 1 α), and actin (Act), combined with morphological characteristics, revealed five new species in this genus. This study provides their descriptions and illustrations and discusses their differences from morphological allies and phylogenetic relatives. Absidia collariata sp. nov. is distinguished from other species in terms of the length of collars. A. hainanensis sp. nov. is named after the geographical location Hainan, distinctive with a higher maximum growing temperature. A. pyriformis sp. nov. is different from other species in terms of sporangial shape. A. tardiva sp. nov. is characterized by slow growth. And A. tibetensis sp. nov. is named after the geographical location Tibet and differentiated by more ampulliform swellings. This study further enriches the species diversity of Absidia as the latest discovery of early-diverging fungi in China.

Although 24 species have been described, the genus is in need of revision and many new species await description. A clade of species of Australambrysus exhibits a similar appression of the propleura to the prosternum as do species of the North American Ambrysus Stål, 1862 subgenus Syncollus La Rivers, 1965. Three new species in this clade are described here: Australambrysus aguaro n.sp., A. alvarado n.sp., and A. clavieri n.sp. In addition, Australambrysus planus plax (La Rivers, 1967) is elevated to species level, and thus becomes A. plax n.stat.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Chen, Wan-Hao, Shu, Hui-Lin, Li, Dan, Liang, Jian-Dong, Ren, Xiu-Xiu, Wijayawardene, Nalin N., Han, Yan-Feng, Zhao, Jie-Hong (2025): Morphological and phylogenetic evidence reveals three new arthropod-associated species of Hypocreales (Clavicipitaceae, Bionectriaceae, and Myrotheciomycetaceae) from karst habitats in Guizhou, China. MycoKeys 123: 319-353, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.123.164334The karst regions of southwest China are rich in biodiversity and have critically threatened ecosystems, harboring unique species that could be new to science. During the investigations of arthropods associated-fungi, several fungal strains were collected. Among these, three new species, Conoideocrella tiankengensis sp. nov. (Clavicipitaceae), Ovicillium zunyiense sp. nov. (Bionectriaceae) and Trichothecium sinense sp. nov. (Myrotheciomycetaceae), isolated from a dead scale insect, larva and spider, respectively, were introduced as novel taxa, based on the morphological characteristics and DNA-based phylogenetic analyses. This is the first time that a species from Myrotheciomycetaceae is reported from the karst habitats. In addition, the genus Myrotheciomyces is treated as a synonym of Trichothecium based on the phylogenetic analysis, and the type species of the former is transferred to the latter genus.

MycoKeys 118: 119-146, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.118.154217AbstractErysiphe sect. Erysiphe, a taxonomically significant group within the genus Erysiphe, is distinguished from other Erysiphe sections by its mycelioid chasmothecial appendages. While approximately half of the known species in this section occur in China, our preliminary assessments suggest that a substantial number of cryptic taxa remain undetected. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a comprehensive phylogeographic survey evaluating 78 specimens collected from 18 provinces (municipalities / autonomous regions) across China. Our integrative approach combined morphological characterization with molecular phylogenetic analyses using five DNA loci: internal transcribed spacer (ITS), 28 S rDNA, intergenic spacer (IGS), RNA polymerase II subunit 2 (RPB 2), and β-tubulin (TUB). This study led to the discovery of three newly described species (E. clematidis sp. nov. on Clematis spp., E. limoniicola sp. nov. on Limonium spp., and E. paeoniae-suffruticosae sp. nov. on Paeonia × suffruticosa and two newly recorded species from China (E. malvae on Malva pusilla and E. punicae on Punica granatum). Notably, our phylogenetic framework demonstrates that incorporating IGS, RPB 2, and TUB markers substantially enhances species-level resolution and provides critical insights into cryptic speciation within powdery mildews.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Li, Yan-Da, Kundrata, Robin, Huang, Di-Ying, Cai, Chen-Yang (2022): First Artematopodidae from mid-Cretaceous amber of northern Myanmar (Coleoptera: Elateroidea). Zootaxa 5129 (2): 257-271, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5129.2.6AbstractArtematopodid fossils from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber are reported for the first time, represented by three species in two genera. Bipogonia Li, Kundrata & Cai gen. nov. with two species, B. trivialis Li, Kundrata & Cai sp. nov. and B. fortis Li, Kundrata & Cai sp. nov., is mainly characterized by the distinctly serrate antennae, mandibles with both apical and subapical teeth, and prosternum without paired longitudinal ridges. Carinibipogonia xiai Li, Kundrata & Cai gen. et sp. nov. shares with Bipogonia the distinctly serrate antennae and mandibles with both apical and subapical teeth but differs mainly in the prosternum with short paired longitudinal ridges. Based on their morphology, the two new genera might be related to the extant Allopogonia; however, this needs to be tested in the future with a phylogenetic framework.
