title: Meristotheca spinella Núñez-Resendiz, Dreckmann & Sentíes, sp. nov. (Solieriaceae, Rhodophyta) a new cylindrical species from the southwestern Gulf of Mexico

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Núñez-Resendiz, María Luisa, Dreckmann, Kurt M., Sentíes, Abel, León-Tejera, Hilda P. (2019): Meristotheca spinella Núñez-Resendiz, Dreckmann & Sentíes, sp. nov. (Solieriaceae, Rhodophyta) a new cylindrical species from the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Cryptogamie, Algologie 20 (6): 63-72, DOI: 10.5252/cryptogamie-algologie2019v40a6, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5252/cryptogamie-algologie2019v40a6ABSTRACTThe genus Meristotheca J. Agardh is the second largest in Solieriaceae with 13 species widely distributed whose thalli are mainly flattened. On the basis of molecular and morpho-anatomical evidence, M. spinella Núñez-Resendiz, Dreckmann & Sentíes, sp. nov. is the second species in the genus with cylindrical axes to be described from the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. rbcL sequences and genetic distance values indicate its separation from other species within Meristotheca and from other morphologically similar species occurring in its known distribution range as M. cylindrica Núñez-Resendiz, Dreckmann & Sentíes. The numerous short branchlets that cover the margins of main axes and branches, among other relevant anatomical and reproductive characters, is the main difference from M. cylindrica, its sister species.

title: Rediscovery of the mysterious Taiwanese micromoth Pachyrhabda citrinacma Meyrick, 1936 (Stathmopodidae) in museum and field, with notes on the fern-spore feeding larva

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Shen, Zong-Yu, Su, Hung-En, Hsu, Yu-Feng (2024): Rediscovery of the mysterious Taiwanese micromoth Pachyrhabda citrinacma Meyrick, 1936 (Stathmopodidae) in museum and field, with notes on the fern-spore feeding larva. Zootaxa 5446 (2): 288-294, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5446.2.11, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5446.2.11AbstractPachyrhabda citrinacma Meyrick, 1936, an endemic species to Formosa (Taiwan), was named by Edward Meyrick based on two specimens collected by Syuti Issiki. Despite some newly discovered stathmopodids exhibiting characteristics matching the original description, the lack of information regarding the type specimen depository led to the species remaining elusive since its initial naming. In this study, we successfully rediscovered a P. citrinacma specimen at the Insect Museum of National Taiwan University, where Syuti Issiki used to conduct research. The present article provides comprehensive morphological details for both sexes, as well as unveiling the genitalia characters and life history of this species for the first time. Larvae feed on spores of a range of fern species belonging to a few different families.

It was associated with larvae of Phassus nodus (Hepialidae) collected from Xuefeng Mountains, Hunan Province, China. It differs from similar species in having branched stromata without a sterile apex, superficial ascomata, and very wide asci and ascospores and in its occurrence on Phassus nodus in living roots or trunks of Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum. Multi-gene phylogenetic analysis of 5.8S-ITS rDNA, nrSSU, EF-1α, and RPB1 gene loci also confirmed the distinctiveness of this new species.

title: A spectacular new species of Hyloscirtus (Anura: Hylidae) from the Cordillera de Los Llanganates in the eastern Andes of Ecuador

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Reyes-Puig, Juan P., Recalde, Darwin, Recalde, Fausto, Koch, Claudia, Guayasamin, Juan M., Cisneros-Heredia, Diego F., Jost, Lou, Yánez-Muñoz, Mario H. (2022): A spectacular new species of Hyloscirtus (Anura: Hylidae) from the Cordillera de Los Llanganates in the eastern Andes of Ecuador. PeerJ 10: 1-34, DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14066, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7717/peerj.14066ABSTRACTWe have discovered a spectacular new species of frog in the genus Hyloscirtus, belonging to the H. larinopygion species group. The adult female is characterized by a mostly black body with large bright red spots on the dorsal and ventral surface, extremities, and toe pads. The adult male is unknown. Small juveniles are characterized by a yellow body with variable black markings on the flanks; while one larger juvenile displayed irregular orange or yellow marks on a black background color, with light orange or yellow toe pads. Additional distinctive external morphological features such as cloacal ornamentation are described, and some osteological details are imaged and analyzed. The performed phylogeny places the new species as the sister to a clade consisting of ten taxa, all of which are part of the H. larinopygion group. We use genetic distances to fit the new species into a published time-calibrated phylogeny of this group; our analysis based on the published chronology suggests that the divergence of the new species from its known congeners pre-dates the Quaternary period. The new species is currently only known only from Cerro Mayordomo, in Fundación EcoMinga´s Machay Reserve, at 2,900 m in the eastern Andes of Tungurahua province, Ecuador, near the southern edge of Los Llanganates National Park, but its real distribution may be larger.Subjects Biodiversity, Conservation Biology, Molecular Biology, TaxonomyKeywords Hyloscirtus, Larinopygion, Group, Llanganates, Mountains, Upper, Pastaza, Watershed

Detailed morphological analysis based on light and scanning electron microscopical observations and comparison with all known Frankophila taxa worldwide justified the description of this unknown taxon as a new species within the genus Frankophila: Frankophila dalevittii Van de Vijver & Goeyers sp. nov. The new taxon is characterized by the presence of well-developed linking spines, the absence of external raphe slits and the presence of internal raphe slits, biseriate striae composed of relatively large areolae and a large axial area. Despite the absence of the external raphe slits, the species is best placed within the genus Frankophila. The new species is described and illustrated and compared with all other Frankophila taxa.

PhytoKeys 251: 1-12, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.251.135126AbstractPrimulina xingyiensis X. X. Bai & F. Wen, a new species of Gesneriaceae in the karst landforms of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, China, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, the species is similar to P. davidioides on corolla, while it is distinguished from P. davidioides by characteristics of thinner and smaller leaves, shorter peduncles, fewer flowers, smaller corolla, glabrous staminodes, and ovary shorter than style. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the combined dataset of rpl 32 - trn L, trn L- trn F, atp B- rbc L, and ITS sequences of the new species and 151 other species of Primulina Hance showed that the two populations of P. xingyiensis clustered into a clade, while it was most closely related to P. malingheensis. Following criteria D 1 in the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria, the new species should be assessed as ‘ vulnerable’ (VU).

Zootaxa 5026 (2): 239-254, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5026.2.5AbstractA new species of the xenodermid snake genus Achalinus Peters, 1869 is described from Fujian Province, China, based on six specimens. Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analyses based on a mitochondrial DNA fragment (CO1) indicated the new taxon is different from its congeners (p –distance ≥ 18.5%). Morphologically, the new species can be diagnosed from the other species by a combination of following characters: (1) dorsal scales 23 rows throughout, strongly keeled, the most outer rows on both sides also keeled and slightly enlarged; (2) tail relatively longer, TaL/TL ratio 0.26–0.29 in males, 0.21–0.22 in females; (3) maxillary teeth 30–33; (4) length of suture between internasals significantly longer than that between prefrontals; (5) nasal divided into two sections by nasal cleft; (6) a single loreal; (7) SPO 1, seldom 2; (8) SPL 6, the fourth and fifth contacting eye; (9) IFL5, rarely 6, the first three touching the first pair of chin shields; (10) TMP 7–9, arranged in three rows; (11) VS 142–149 in males, VS 152–154 in females; (12) SC 74–81 in males, SC 63–65 in females, arranged in a single row; (13) cloacal entire; (14) greyish brown above, pale yellow beneath; (15) dorsum with an indistinct longitudinal vertebral stripe. The description of the new species brings the total species of Achalinus to 19.
