title: A needle in a haystack: Rediscovery and revised description of Ichnotropis microlepidota Marx, 1956, from the central highlands of Angola

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Benito, Max, Conradie, Werner, Vaz Pinto, Pedro, Lobón-Rovira, Javier (2025): A needle in a haystack: Rediscovery and revised description of Ichnotropis microlepidota Marx, 1956, from the central highlands of Angola. Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (2): 887-906, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.136290AbstractIchnotropis is a genus of small and elusive ground-dwelling lizards mostly distributed in the savannas and woodlands south of the Congo River. The genus comprises six nominal species and three subspecies; however, the phylogenetic hypothesis of this group and the taxonomical status of several taxa remain unresolved. Among these species, Ichnotropis microlepidota stands out, as it is only known from the type series since its discovery in the 1950 s in the crop of a Chanting Goshawk in Mount Moco, in the central highlands of Angola. Consequently, due to the lack of a precise locality and its similar morphology to other species, the taxonomic status of this species has been debated by several authors. Thanks to the collection of new material across the Angolan territory, we take the opportunity to revise the group, using molecular and morphological techniques. Thus, we here provide the first phylogenetic hypothesis of the group in Angola and therefore a phylogenetic placement of I. microlepidota. As a result, we validate the taxonomic status of this elusive species and demonstrate that it represents a distinct taxon within the bivittata group, differing by 14.99 % 16 S uncorrected p-distance from I. bivittata. Furthermore, we undertake an updated description of this species, providing additional external and internal (i. e., cranial osteology) morphological features that can be used to compare I. microlepidota with other members of the group. Finally, we identified two candidate new species from Angola and corroborated the importance of the central highlands of Angola as an important center of endemism in the western slope of Central Africa.

The taxon has oblong, dark brown to black, four-columned conidia with mostly three long apical appendages. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU, ITS, β-tubulin and tef1-α sequence data revealed that our collection is a member of Tetraploa and has a close affinity to T. aquatica, T. dashaoensis, and T. nagasakiensis. Based on the morphological comparison and multi-locus phylogeny, we introduce T. cylindrica as a new species. The newly discovered taxon is described, illustrated, and compared to related taxa. A taxonomic insight is presented based on our new data regarding the classification problems of asexual and sexual morphs of Tetraploa. In addition, this is the first report of Tetraploa species that occur on Saccharum arundinaceum. The results of the present study will expand our ecological knowledge of Tetraploa.

PhytoKeys 253: 287-294, DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.253.145562AbstractThe family of grasses (Poaceae) is one of the most diverse plant families, with the tribe Stipeae representing an ecologically significant group of more than 600 species primarily distributed in arid and semi-arid regions. The genus Neotrinia, a lesser-known member of this tribe, is characterised by unique morphological traits, including distinctive patterns of lemma epidermis. During field studies in the upper Kurram Valley, Pakistan, we found a new species, Neotrinia kurramica, which is described here. This perennial grass exhibits distinct morphological features, that differentiate it from previously known species. It is characterised by having up to 8.5 mm long ligules of cauline leaves, up to 15 cm long panicles bearing up to 41 spikelets, subequal glumes, lemma bearing two apical lobes, palea almost equal to lemma, 0.9–1.2 mm long obtuse callus and 50–70 mm long scabrid awns. Figures illustrating the new taxon and a comparison of distinguishing characters of the species representing the genus Neotrinia are presented.

title: Field data collected at Mallipo Beach, South Korea (13–14 December 2024)

description: This dataset contains field measurements collected at Mallipo Beach, South Korea, on 13–14 December 2024. The site is a macrotidal sandy beach with a spring tidal range of 4.7 m and an intertidal width varying from nearly 750 m at low tide to less than 10 m at high tide. Wave data were recorded using a current profiler (SG) and a single-point current meter (AQ), both equipped with pressure sensors. Ten 10-minute UAV videos were acquired to capture the spatial wave field. The footage was corrected for lens distortion, rectified, stabilized, and georeferenced using ground control points. A low-tide photogrammetric survey produced a high-resolution digital terrain model of the nearshore zone. The dataset provides synchronized wave field video, in situ wave data, and topographic information for nearshore process analysis.
