title: Metalacurbs foordi sp. nov., a new Lacurbsinae (Opiliones, Laniatores, Biantidae) from Ankasa National Park, Ghana

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Pérez-González, Abel, Mamani, Vanesa (2024): Metalacurbs foordi sp. nov., a new Lacurbsinae (Opiliones, Laniatores, Biantidae) from Ankasa National Park, Ghana. African Invertebrates 65 (2): 199-211, DOI: 10.3897/afrinvertebr.65.138398AbstractDespite being one of the most conspicuous African opilionids, the members of Lacurbsinae remain one of the least known groups of harvestmen species. All eight previously-known species of Lacurbsinae are inadequately described and poorly illustrated, leaving the morphological characteristics of this subfamily obscure. After more than half a century, we describe a new species of Lacurbsinae. Metalacurbs foordi sp. nov. is described, based on a male specimen collected in Ankasa National Park, Ghana, with a detailed description and illustration of its external and genital morphology. This marks the first modern taxonomic description of a species within Lacurbsinae, including an illustration and description of the male genital morphology, a crucial modern taxonomic characteristic for Opiliones and represents a starting point for the taxonomic revision of the subfamily.

title: Bedazzled: a new, striking species of Corades from the outskirts of Quito questions our knowledge of Andean cloud forest butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Pyrcz, Tomasz W., Boyer, Pierre, Petit, Jean-Claude, Garlacz, Rafał, Zając- Garlacz, Kamila S., Espeland, Marianne, Willmott, Keith R. (2024): Bedazzled: a new, striking species of Corades from the outskirts of Quito questions our knowledge of Andean cloud forest butterflies (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae). Zootaxa 5453 (2): 255-262, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5453.2.6, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5360.3.8AbstractA new butterfly species in the genus Corades, C. yanacocha Pyrcz, Boyer & Petit sp. n., belonging to the diverse, predominantly Andean subtribe Pronophilina (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae), is described from the Yanacocha Reserve situated only a couple of kilometres west of Quito, Ecuador. This is an extremely surprising discovery in a region whose butterfly fauna was considered to be fairly well known, underlying the need to protect remnants of high elevation forests in such overpopulated regions of the Andes. Morphological characters, in particular male genitalia, indicate an affinity of C. yanacocha sp. n. with C. trimaculata from northern Peru. A preliminary molecular study using COI barcodes indicates, however, the widely distributed north Andean C. dymantis as the closest relative.

title: New data on embryonic development of Halisarca dujardini Johnston, 1842 (Demospongiae, Halisarcida)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ereskovsky, Alexander V., Gonobobleva, Elisaveta L. (2000): New data on embryonic development of Halisarca dujardini Johnston, 1842 (Demospongiae, Halisarcida). Zoosystema 22 (2): 355-368, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5402176ABSTRACTEmbryogenesis of Halisarca dujardini from the White Sea (Russia) was studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. The cleavage is equal and asynchronous. From the stage of 8-16 blastomeres, the cells divide perpendicularly to the surface of embryos and form a coeloblastula. The few internal cells of the prelarva are derived by multipolar migration of external cells. The larva (disphaerula) consists of two flagellated spheres: external and internal. The internal sphere is formed by invagination of lateral flagellated cells. The disphaerula is completely flagellated, but the flagella on posterior pole are sparse. The peculiarities of Halisarca embryonic development indicates the particular position of this genus in subclass Ceractinomorpha. The pattern of development is most primitive in this subclass.

(Bacillariophyceae): A new tree moss dwelling diatom from the Eastern Himalayas, India. Phytotaxa 552 (2): 151-158, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.552.2.2AbstractPlatessa arborea sp. nov. new monoraphid diatom species is described from the tree moss habitat of India’s Sikkim state from the Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspot. This new species was described based on light and scanning electron micrographs and compared to morphologically similar taxa. Platessa arborea seems to have an affinity for the aerial habitat and has certain unique morphological features distinct from all the other Platessa species, such as its narrowly rounded apices, wide axial area, and the presence of predominantly uniseriate striae with unusually thick striae density. In India, there have been previous reports of some species from the genera Achnanthes and Cocconeis, which have been eventually transferred to the genus Platessa. However, this is the first formal documentation of the Platessa genus from India.

title: Bouchetaria (Gastropoda: Cypraeidae), a new genus for the Riddle cowry, B. aenigma (Lorenz 2002), from the deep waters of the Mozambique Channel

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Castelin, Magalie, Lorenz, Felix (2024): Bouchetaria (Gastropoda: Cypraeidae), a new genus for the Riddle cowry, B. aenigma (Lorenz 2002), from the deep waters of the Mozambique Channel. Zootaxa 5433 (3): 404-418, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5433.3.7, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5433.3.7AbstractBased on molecular and conchological features, a new genus, Bouchetaria, is proposed for the Cypraeidae species Nesiocypraea aenigma Lorenz 2002. Molecular analysis of cox1 and 16S genes places Bouchetaria within a monophyletic group—composed of the genera Propustularia, Nesiocypraea, Ipsa, Perisserosa, Cryptocypraea, and Nucleolaria — appearing as the sister group to all other living Cypraeidae. This group corresponds to the Erosariinae (sensu Lorenz & Hubert, 1993). The cox1 pairwise genetic distances between Bouchetaria aenigma and its closest taxa, Propustularia surinamensis and Nesiocypraea teramachii correspond to 15% and 17% difference, respectively. Morphologically, the sole species of the genus Bouchetaria differs from other Erosariinae genera by the near absence of darker color pattern, and denser and longer dentition, which extends onto the labrum and towards the base, where it forms branches. These morphological characters justify the edification of a new genus: Bouchetaria. Consistent with its multispiral protoconch, Bouchetaria aenigma has a fairly wide range in the deep-sea of the Mozambique Channel, from the northern coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, to the northern tip of Madagascar and the Glorioso Islands.

Diploclinium (Begoniaceae) from Guangxi, South China. PhytoKeys 249: 277-285, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.249.133724AbstractAlthough Guangxi represents one of the distribution centres of begonias in China, the sect. Diploclinium (Wright) A. DC is not well documented herein. In this article, we illustrate a new species belonging to this section, Begonia fangchengensis Y. N. Huang, X. X. Feng & R. K. Li, which has been discovered in southern Guangxi. Begonia fangchengensis mostly resembles B. rotundilimba in elliptic leaf blade, palmate veins, dichasial cyme, three styles, axile placentation, and unequally 3 - winged capsule. On the other hand, B. fangchengensis is characterized by creeping rhizome, pilose stipule, red and densely pilose petiole, pubescent leaf blade and pilose inflorescence bract, sparsely pilose ovary and the zygomorphic androecium, differing from the erect stem at anthesis, the green and densely villous petiole, the glabrous stipule, leaf blade, inflorescence bract, ovary and actinomorphic androecium in B. rotundilimba. Considering its small population size and narrow distribution, its conservation status is categorized as ‘ Endangered (D) ’ according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.

Zootaxa 4801 (3): 461-487, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4801.3.3AbstractAn integrative taxonomic analysis of the Sphenomorphus stellatus group recovered a newly discovered museum specimen from Phu Quoc Island, Kien Giang Province, Vietnam as a new species most closely related to S. preylangensis from Phnom Chi in central Cambodia, approximately 175 km to the northeast. Most notably, S. phuquocensis sp. nov. lacks the derived condition of having black dorsal stripes that diagnose S. annamiticus— the sister species to S. preylangensis plus S. phuquocensis sp. nov. A BioGeoBEARS analysis recovered the ancestor of the S. stellatus group to likely have ranged across forested regions on an exposed Sunda Shelf from southwestern Indochina to Peninsular Malaysia prior to diverging into northern and southern lineages separated by the Gulf of Thailand. Episodic fluctuations in sea levels and concomitant changes in the physiography of the Mekong Delta contributed to the fragmented distribution within and between species of the northern lineage. Sphenomorphus phuquocensis sp. nov. represents the second species of reptile endemic to Phu Quoc Island.

title: Ieodo Ocean Research Station (Ieodo ORS): delayed mode dataset, annual release (2024)

description: Ieodo Ocean Research Station (Ieodo ORS) opened in June 2003, and was built to help advance the understanding of the dynamics of the East China Sea, including its influence on Korea’s marine, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments, via the continuous and simultaneous multidisciplinary observation of local air and sea environments. Ieodo ORS is located 149 km from Marado, at the southernmost tip of Jejudo (commonly referred to in scientific literature as Jeju Island or previously as Cheju Island), southwest of the Korean Peninsula. Its steel-jacket framed tower-type platform was built near the submarine rock named “Ieodo” by the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST). The Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA) has operated this platform since January 1, 2007. Ieodo ORS stands 36 m in height above the datum level (DL) and consists of a boat landing plus 6 decks (Bottom Deck, Intermediate Deck, Cellar Deck, Main Deck, Roof Deck, and Heli Deck). Most of its meteorological instruments and sensors are installed on the Roof Deck, including two anemometers, one barometer, two air temperature sensors, and two relative humidity sensors. Ocean temperature and salinity have been relatively consistently measured at Ieodo ORS. Aanderaa inductive-type conductivity-temperature (CT) sensors are installed at depths of 6, 17.5, and 38 m throughout the entire year, operating at 1 min sampling intervals by KHOA. Residential facilities and the electrical control room are on the Main Deck, while a seawater desalination system and a diesel generator system are installed on the Cellar Deck.
