title: Unearthing the diversity of Japanese Magelona (Annelida: Magelonidae); three species new to science, and a redescription of Magelona japonica

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Taylor, Abbie, Mortimer, Kate, Jimi, Naoto (2022): Unearthing the diversity of Japanese Magelona (Annelida: Magelonidae); three species new to science, and a redescription of Magelona japonica. Zootaxa 5196 (4): 451-491, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5196.4.1AbstractWhilst seven species of magelonids have been originally described from the North-Western Pacific Ocean, only two have been from Japanese waters. Given the often high diversity of magelonid species within relatively small regions, the number of Japanese Magelona species is likely to be higher. The validity of several recorded species from the region has been additionally called into question, and the urgent need for a review of magelonids of Japan highlighted. Newly collected samples of magelonids have emphasised the presence of three species new to science occurring off Japan, herein described: Magelona alba sp. nov., Magelona armatis sp. nov., and Magelona boninensis sp. nov. A redescription of Magelona japonica is additionally provided, along with notes on a fifth species, which approaches Magelona cornuta. A dichotomous identification key to magelonid species of the North-Western Pacific Ocean, along with a table of characters for all five observed species is provided.

title: Across trench and ridge: description of five new species of the Haploniscus belyaevi Birstein, 1963 species complex (Isopoda, Haploniscidae) from the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench region

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Knauber, Henry, Schell, Tilman, Brandt, Angelika, Riehl, Torben (2025): Across trench and ridge: description of five new species of the Haploniscus belyaevi Birstein, 1963 species complex (Isopoda, Haploniscidae) from the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench region. Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (2): 813-853, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.137663AbstractIntegrative taxonomy provides a valuable approach to discover and unravel even morphologically almost indiscernible species, such as those forming “ cryptic ” species complexes. The six members of the recently discovered Haploniscus belyaevi species complex (short: belyaevi - complex) from the abysso-hadal Kuril-Kamchatka Trench (KKT) region in the Northwest Pacific Ocean are taxonomically described herein. The eponymous Haploniscus belyaevi is redescribed alongside new descriptions of the five closely related species Haploniscus apaticus sp. nov., H. erebus sp. nov., H. hades sp. nov., H. kerberos sp. nov., and H. nyx sp. nov. The morphological differences between these species are most eminent in the rostral and pleotelson morphology of the adult males. Alongside light-microscopical drawings, CLSM scans, and 16 S and COI barcodes, these species descriptions are complemented by the first genomic data of deep-sea haploniscid isopods. Geometric morphometrics was applied to quantify interspecific and intraspecific morphological differences of the pleotelson considering the pronounced sexual dimorphism. The distributional range of the belyaevi - complex covers a large geographical area, ranging across the greater KKT region and extending beyond large-scale geomorphological barriers such as the KKT and the Kuril Island Ridge, turning these into promising species to study differentiation processes in the deep sea.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Demere, Krysta D., Meierhofer, Melissa B., Morrison, Michael L., Pierce, Brian L., Szewczak, Joseph M., Evans, Jonah W., Ammerman, Loren K. (2017): Noteworthy Records For Six Species Of Bats From 13 Texas Counties And The First Voucher Specimens From Sites With Pseudogymnoascus Destructans. Occasional Papers of the Museum 351: 1-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15748599ABSTRACTDiseases that result in a regional loss of both species richness and genetic diversity highlight the importance of managing and building upon natural history collections. Occurrence data and specimen vouchers can supplement information regarding distribution and genetic diversity prior to the potential expansion into Texas of the emerging disease known as white-nose syndrome. Herein, six species of bats from 13 counties in Texas are reported. A total of 10 new county records were documented for four species (Myotis velifer, Perimyotis subflavus, Eptesicus fuscus, and Corynorhinus townsendii). Noteworthy winter observations were recorded for two additional species (Myotis austroriparius and C. rafinesquii). In addition to documenting occurrence records of bat species in the state of Texas, the first voucher specimens are provided from three sites positive for Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the causative agent of white-nose syndrome.Key words: bats, county records, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, Texas, winter surveys

title: Unveiling four new taxa and Nigrosynnema natarajanensis comb. nov. in Stachybotryaceae (Hypocreales) from monocotyledon plants in Guangdong Province, China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Liao, Chunfang, Doilom, Mingkwan, Bhat, D. Jayarama, Thilini Chethana, Kandawatte Wedaralalage, Tangtrakulwanich, Khanobporn, Yang, Yunhui, Al-Otibi, Fatimah, Hyde, Kevin D., Dong, Wei (2025): Unveiling four new taxa and Nigrosynnema natarajanensis comb. nov. in Stachybotryaceae (Hypocreales) from monocotyledon plants in Guangdong Province, China. MycoKeys 114: 299-327, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.114.139325AbstractMembers of Stachybotryaceae are distributed worldwide, with certain species playing a significant role as bio-degraders and some causing diseases in plants, humans, and animals. Other species within this family can be found in soil and have been reported as saprobes in various plants. In this study (2021–2022), fungal taxa resembling Stachybotryaceae, isolated from dead leaves of Agave sisalana and a dead stem of Wurfbainia villosa in Guangdong Province, China, are identified based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. Multi-locus phylogeny based on calmodulin (cmdA), internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the large subunit nuclear rDNA (LSU), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb 2), the partial translation elongation factor 1 - α (tef 1 - α), and β-tubulin (tub 2) revealed that nine strains were grouped within Stachybotryaceae. Nigrosynnema guangdongense gen. et sp. nov., typical of Stachybotryaceae but having unusual olivaceous brown to black synnemata that are narrower towards the apex and produce phialidic, aseptate, slimy conidia in black and glistening heads, is introduced. Additionally, Brevistachys wurfbainiae and Sirastachys guangdongensis are introduced as new species. Stachybotrys microsporus is a new host record for Agave sisalana. The present study provides comprehensive descriptions, illustrations, and molecular data analyses of the newly discovered taxa and newly recorded species as a taxonomic and phylogenetic contribution to Stachybotryaceae. Furthermore, a new combination, Nigrosynnema natarajanensis, is proposed for the previously described Virgatospora natarajanensis.

title: First records of the spider wasps Ctenocerus Dahlbom and Paraclavelia Haupt from Asia, with discussions on the systematics of Ctenocerinae (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Shimizu, Akira, Broad, Gavin, Yoshimura, Jin, Pitts, James P. (2022): First records of the spider wasps Ctenocerus Dahlbom and Paraclavelia Haupt from Asia, with discussions on the systematics of Ctenocerinae (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae). European Journal of Taxonomy 845 (1): 101-131, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.845.1957, URL: http://zoobank.org/4a40954e-9be5-4462-9845-f0a1be825623Abstract. We describe two new species of Ctenocerinae (Pompilidae) from Asia, i.e., Ctenocerus srilankae Shimizu sp. nov. from Sri Lanka and Paraclavelia arabiae Shimizu sp. nov. from Oman. These represent the first records of Ctenocerus Dahlbom, 1845 and Paraclavelia Haupt, 1930 in Asia. Two new combinations and a new synonymy are proposed: Ctenocerus fasciatus (Smith, 1851) (= Micropteryx fasciata Smith, 1851); Paraclavelia decipiens (Arnold, 1932) (= Clavelia decipiens Arnold, 1932); and Ctenocerus Dahlbom, 1845 (= Euclavelia Arnold, 1932). We discuss the difficulty of systematics of Ctenocerinae at generic level. The head and pronotal structures of Ctenocerus and Paraclavelia are presumably specialized for preying on trapdoor spiders. These structures are considered to have evolved independently of other unrelated parasitoid Pompilidae that have been confirmed or proposed to prey on trapdoor spiders. We also discuss the biogeographical distribution of these genera.

title: Thriving in dry conditions: on the Neotropical spider genus Galapa (Araneae: Pholcidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Huber, Bernhard A., Meng, Guanliang, García, Jimmy Cabra, Carvalho, Leonardo S. (2024): Thriving in dry conditions: on the Neotropical spider genus Galapa (Araneae: Pholcidae). Zootaxa 5419 (3): 301-347, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5419.3.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5419.3.1AbstractThe genus Galapa Huber, 2000 includes tiny spiders (body length &lt;1.5 mm) restricted to semi-arid habitats. It has long been thought to be endemic to the Galapagos Islands until G. spiniphila Huber, 2020 was described from the Venezuelan Paraguaná Peninsula. Here, we support this generic assignment with molecular (CO1) data and describe two new species from Colombia (G. gabito Huber sp. n.) and Costa Rica (G. murphyi Huber sp. n.), showing that the genus is actually widely distributed. Distribution modelling identifies several high suitability areas for Galapa, all of which are poorly sampled with respect to Pholcidae (ranging from Nicaragua to northern Peru and Guiana). Our results suggest a strong sampling bias against spiders restricted to dry tropical regions and habitats.

title: Revision of western Palaearctic species of the Oulema melanopus group, with description of two new species from Europe (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Criocerinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bezděk, Jan, Baselga, Andrés (2015): Revision of western Palaearctic species of the Oulema melanopus group, with description of two new species from Europe (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Criocerinae). Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 55 (1): 273-304, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5303691Abstract. Five species of the Oulema melanopus group are recognized in the western Palaearctic Region: O. melanopus (Linnaeus, 1758), O. rufocyanea (Suffrian, 1847), O. duftschmidi (Redtenbacher, 1874), O. mauroi sp. nov. (northern Italy), and O. verae sp. nov. (Spain and Portugal). The two new species are described and illustrated. The nomenclature of the group is discussed in detail. Oulema rufocyanea is proved to be a validly described species different to O. duftschmidi. To fix the nomenclatural stability of the whole group and avoid subsequent misintepretations, neotypes are designated for Crioceris melanopoda O. F. Müller, 1776; Crioceris hordei Geoffroy, 1785; and Lema cyanella var. atrata Waltl, 1835 (all conspecific with O. melanopus). The primary type specimens or their photographs were examined if they exist. The spelling Oulema melanopus is fixed as correct and explained. Variation in the cytochrome c oxidase (cox1) gene across specimens of all the species has been analysed. All species in the group had extremely similar haplotypes, with interspecific sequence similarities between 90.5–99.5 %, compared to intraspecific sequence similarities between 91.6–100 %. As a result, the phylogenetic relationships among species in the group were not well resolved based on cox1 sequences.

PhytoKeys 255: 51-73, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.255.140805AbstractAstragalus L. is the largest genus worldwide, comprising more than 3,100 species belonging to 250 sections. In Mongolia, approximately 130 species, including 15 endemic and 25 subendemic species have been previously recognized from 42 sections and 6 subgenera. In this study, we investigated several species within section Laguropsis in Mongolia based on extensive morphological analyses and molecular evidence. Based on these results, we describe three new species and a new section. Two of the newly described species, A. oyunicus and A. teshigicus, belong to the section Laguropsis, whereas the remaining species, A. uvsicus, is the type species of the new section Uvsicus. Furthermore, our findings revealed that (i) A. tamiricus, previously considered endemic to Mongolia, is an additional synonym of A. laguroides, and (ii) A. gobi-altaicus, previously a synonym of A. laguroides, is an independent species. Finally, we provide taxonomic nomenclature, morphological observations, distribution maps and wild photo illustrations of each species.

title: A new cryptic species of Polybiidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Portunoidea) from the East Atlantic, with considerations on the genus Polybius

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article García-Raso, J. Enrique, D'Udekem D'Acoz, Cédric, Moukrim, Abdellatif, Schubart, Christoph D., Cuesta, Jose A. (2024): A new cryptic species of Polybiidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Portunoidea) from the East Atlantic, with considerations on the genus Polybius. European Journal of Taxonomy 930 (1): 277-313, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2024.930.2501, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2501/11189Abstract. The use of integrative taxonomy has confirmed the existence of a new distinct crab species, cryptic, within the group of the former genus Liocarcinus, now Polybius, closely related to P. holsatus, P. vernalis and P. marmoreus. Previous reports have considered it to be the Atlantic form of P. vernalis, or as a species “affinis” or “comparable to” P. holsatus. Diagnostic morphological characters are presented for identification and the morphological variability in these species, mainly within P. vernalis (the most related) is analysed. Furthermore, based on molecular and other previous data, a new combination (genus change) is proposed. This new species, Polybius dioscurus sp. nov., lives on infralittoral sandy bottoms, coexisting with the other species mentioned, in the temperate and subtropical zone of the North Atlantic Ocean, including the Alboran Sea (westernmost Mediterranean).
