title: A new species of Bernardia (Euphorbiaceae, Acalyphoideae) with stellate trichomes from South America

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Carrión, Juan F., Amorim, André M. (2024): A new species of Bernardia (Euphorbiaceae, Acalyphoideae) with stellate trichomes from South America. Phytotaxa 650 (1): 1-7, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.650.1.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.650.1.1AbstractBernardia fluviatilis is described as a new species of Euphorbiaceae from the Upper Paraguay River Basin in central South America. A literature review, examination of herbarium specimens, and fieldwork suggest that the new taxon is most similar to B. argentinensis but differs by its young branches covered by a sparsely sericeous indumentum of simple trichomes, usually shorter staminate peduncles, cymules scattered along the axis of the staminate inflorescence, and staminate flower pedicel usually glabrous. Illustrations, photographs, information about the distribution, habitat, and conservation status of the new species, and a key to the morphologically similar species, are also provided.

title: A new genus and species of Platypodini pinhole borers from South America (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Platypodinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Kirkendall, Lawrence R. (2024): A new genus and species of Platypodini pinhole borers from South America (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Platypodinae). Zootaxa 5432 (1): 83-95, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5432.1.6, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5432.1.6AbstractI describe Amplioscapus new genus for Amplioscapus mirabilis new species represented by 164 specimens collected from tropical forests of the Amazon Basin and Guiana Shield. The new genus differs from all other Neotropical Platypodini genera in the antennae being inserted at the upper margin of the eyes in females; in the extraordinarily expanded antennal scape with dense long setae; in the numbers of transverse rugae on the protibiae; and in the numbers of small teeth on the anterior margin of the impression at the distal ends of the metanepisternum and metaventrite. The new pinhole borer genus is most similar to Megaplatypus Wood; in addition to the characters mentioned previously, the new genus differs from all known Megaplatypus in the pair of large mycangia on the female pronotum and the strongly alternating lengths of the elytral interstriae of males. Most individuals were taken from low elevations. Host records for specimens taken from cut trees show the new species to be a host generalist. The vast majority of specimens were captured by flight intercept traps, Malaise traps or canopy fogging, underlining the importance of passive trapping for tropical insect biodiversity surveys.

title: A new genus and species of Nothochrysinae (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) from the early Eocene Fur Formation, Denmark

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Makarkin, Vladimir N., Simonsen, Thomas J., Perkovsky, Evgeny E. (2025): A new genus and species of Nothochrysinae (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) from the early Eocene Fur Formation, Denmark. Zootaxa 5653 (1): 116-122, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5653.1.6, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5653.1.6AbstractTriachrysa rusti gen. et sp. nov. (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Nothochrysinae) is described from the earliest Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark. The three gradate series of crossveins in the forewing distinguishes the new genus from other Nothochrysinae known from this formation. The forewing venation is compared to that of three other genera of Nothochrysinae with three gradate series: the early Eocene Okanaganochrysa Makarkin & Archibald, 2013, the latest Eocene Tribochrysa Scudder, 1883, and the extant Triplochrysa Kimmins, 1952. These four genera are apparently not closely related, and their third (additional) series may have developed independently in these taxa.

title: A new species of Orthobula Simon, 1897 (Araneae: Trachelidae) from South America

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Piñanez Espejo, Yolanda M. G., Munévar, Ana, Kochalka, John A. (2022): A new species of Orthobula Simon, 1897 (Araneae: Trachelidae) from South America. Zootaxa 5124 (1): 75-80, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5124.1.5AbstractOrthobula Simon, 1897 is a group of very small litter-dwelling spiders with a tropical and subtropical distribution. The genus comprises 18 species, without any records in the Neotropical realm yet. Here we describe O. sudamericana sp. nov., distributed in Argentina and Paraguay. The new species appears to be most closely related to O. chayuensis Yang, Song and Zhu, 2003. The male also resembles O. charitonovi (Mikhailov, 1986). Orthobula sudamericana sp. nov. females differ from these species by the straight and parallel insemination ducts, and males by the centrally located, Ushaped sperm duct. Further, we summarize details on its natural history and habitat characteristics.

title: A new species of Entomobrya Rondani, 1861 (Collembola, Entomobryidae, Entomobryinae) from Croatia with the redescription of Entomobrya margaretae Gruia, 1967

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Winkler, Daniel, Grujić, Nikola Z., Fiera, Cristina (2023): A new species of Entomobrya Rondani, 1861 (Collembola, Entomobryidae, Entomobryinae) from Croatia with the redescription of Entomobrya margaretae Gruia, 1967. Zootaxa 5352 (3): 411-425, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5352.3.5, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5352.3.5AbstractIn the present paper, a new species of the genus Entomobrya is described from Croatia. E. silvicola sp. nov. has a unique colour pattern that distinguishes it from other Entomobrya species in Europe and worldwide. Besides the different colour pattern, there are notable differences in the dorsal macrochaetotaxy and other characters that distinguish the new species from the other Entomobrya sharing the same dorsal macrochaetotaxy formula of Abd II–III. Herein, we also provide the redescription of E. margaretae Gruia, 1967, based on topotypic specimens, of which a neotype was designated.

title: Origin of adaptations to open environments and social behaviour in sabretoothed cats from the northeastern border of the Tibetan Plateau

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Jiangzuo, Qigao, Werdelin, Lars, Sanisidro, Oscar, Yang, Rong, Fu, Jiao, Li, Shijie, Wang, Shiqi, Deng, Tao (2023): Origin of adaptations to open environments and social behaviour in sabretoothed cats from the northeastern border of the Tibetan Plateau. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences (20230019) 290 (1997): 1-11, DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.0019, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2023.0019The iconic sabretooth Homotherium is thought to have hunted cooperatively, but the origin of this behaviour and correlated morphological adaptations are largely unexplored. Here we report the most primitive species of Amphimachairodus (Amphimachairodus hezhengensis sp. nov.), a member of Machairodontini basal to Homotherium, from the Linxia Basin, northeastern border of the Tibetan Plateau (9.8–8.7 Ma). The long snout, laterally oriented and posteriorly located orbit of Amphimachairodus suggest a better ability to observe the surrounding environment, rather than targeting single prey, pointing to an adaptation to the open environment or social behaviour. A pathological forepaw of Amphimachairodus provides direct evidence of partner care. Our analyses of trait evolutionary rates support that traits correlated with killing behaviour and open environment adaptation evolved prior to other traits, suggesting that changes in hunting behaviour may be the major evolutionary driver in the early evolution of the lineage. A. hezhengensis represents one of the most important transitions in the evolution of Machairodontini, leading to adaptation in open environments and contributing to their further dispersal and radiation worldwide. This rapid morphological change is likely to be correlated with increasingly arid environments caused by the rise of the Tibetan Plateau, and competition from abundant large carnivores in this area.

title: Ranunculus oblitus (section Batrachium, Ranunculaceae), a new species from South America

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Wiegleb, Gerhard, Desfayes, Michel, Bobrov, Alexander A. (2022): Ranunculus oblitus (section Batrachium, Ranunculaceae), a new species from South America. Phytotaxa 559 (2): 132-144, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.559.2.2AbstractRanunculus oblitus, a new species of Ranunculus section Batrachium, is described from South America. The species is significantly different from the European laminar-leaved species R. aquatilis, and the Holarctic submerged species R. trichophyllus. It resembles the North Asian-North American species R. mongolicus differing by narrower petals, larger and fewer achenes. Available molecular data indicate affiliation to North American taxa of the R. trichophyllus group, especially R. porteri. The species occurs along the west coast of the continent from southern Peru to southern Chile, extending from sea level to an elevation of 4500 m a.s.l. in the Andes. There is some evidence that a second native Batrachium species occurs in South America.

The specimen was recovered from the upper section of the Potrerillos Formation (Upper Triassic) at the Quebrada del Durazno locality, south of the Cerro Cacheuta, Cuyana Basin, in Mendoza, Argentina. This represents the first record of a complete forewing (tegminous + clavus) of a scytinopterid for the Triassic of South America. Additionally, we briefly discuss the Triassic scytinopterid distribution worldwide, and provide preliminary morphological differences observed between the taxa recorded in the Southern Hemisphere. The new fossil described herein contributes to the knowledge on the hemipterofauna diversity present at the south of the Cerro Cacheuta area during Early Mesozoic times.

In this study, Tainosphaeria aquatica sp. nov. and T. thailandense sp. nov., occurred on submerged wood in Thailand, are described and illustrated based on the evidences of morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU, ITS and TEF1-α dataset. Tainosphaeria aquatica is characterized by hyaline, 0–3-septate, cylindrical to long fusiform conidia with hair-like, hyaline appendages at both ends. Tainosphaeria thailandense is distinct in having laurel-green, 0–1-septate, reniform to ellipsoidal conidia with polar appendages. A synopsis of morphological characteristics of Tainosphaeria species is provided.

title: An Eocene army ant

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sosiak, Christine E., Borowiec, Marek L., Barden, Phillip (2022): An Eocene army ant. Biology Letters (20220398) 18 (11): 1-5, DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0398, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2022.0398Among social insects, army ants are exceptional in their voracious coordi- nated predation, nomadic life history and highly specialized wingless queens: the synthesis of these remarkable traits is referred to as the army ant syndrome. Despite molecular evidence that the army ant syndrome evolved twice during the mid-Cenozoic, once in the Neotropics and once in the Afrotropics, fossil army ants are markedly scarce, comprising a single known species from the Caribbean 16 Ma. Here we report the oldest army ant fossil and the first from the Eastern Hemisphere (EH), Dis- simulodorylus perseus, preserved in Baltic amber dated to the Eocene. Using a combined morphological and molecular ultra conserved elements dataset spanning doryline lineages, we find that D. perseus is nested among extant EH army ants with affinities to Dorylus. Army ants are characterized by lim- ited extant diversification throughout most of the Cenozoic; the discovery of D. perseus suggests an unexpected diversity of now-extinct army ant lineages in the Cenozoic, some of which were present in Continental Europe.

title: An unexpected noncarpellate epigynous flower from the Jurassic of China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Fu, Qiang, Diez, Jose Bienvenido, Pole, Mike, Ávila, Manuel García, Liu, Zhong-Jian, Chu, Hang, Hou, Yemao, Yin, Pengfei, Zhang, Guo-Qiang, Du, Kaihe, Wang, Xin (2018): An unexpected noncarpellate epigynous flower from the Jurassic of China. eLife (e 38827) 7: 1-24, DOI: 10.7554/eLife.38827.001, URL: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.38827.001Abstract The origin of angiosperms has been a long-standing botanical debate. The great diversity of angiosperms in the Early Cretaceous makes the Jurassic a promising period in which to anticipate the origins of the angiosperms. Here, based on observations of 264 specimens of 198 individual flowers preserved on 34 slabs in various states and orientations, from the South Xiangshan Formation (Early Jurassic) of China, we describe a fossil flower, Nanjinganthus dendrostyla gen. et sp. nov .. The large number of specimens and various preservations allow for an evidence-based reconstruction of the flower. From the evidence of the combination of an invaginated receptacle and ovarian roof, we infer that the seeds of Nanjinganthus were completely enclosed. Evidence of an actinomorphic flower with a dendroid style, cup-form receptacle, and angiospermy, is consistent with Nanjinganthus being a bona fide angiosperm from the Jurassic, an inference that we hope will re-invigorate research into angiosperm origins.

Zootaxa 5453 (2): 282-290, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5453.2.9, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5360.3.8AbstractThe genus Hypolobocera Ortmann, 1897, is represented by 38 species and is distributed in the south-western Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, including the twenty-two registered species for Colombia. We describe and illustrate a new species of Hypolobocera Ortmann, 1897 from the foothills of the Western Cordillera, Antioquia Department, Cauca River basin, Colombia, which increases in this country the number of Hypolobocera species to twenty-three. The species distribution of this genus covers an extensive area of the Colombian territory, including most of Colombia’s major river basins. We distinguished the new species from its congeners mainly by the third maxilliped, with an exopod that is 0.20 to 0.30 the length of ischium, and by the morphology of the first male gonopod, particularly by the shapes of the lateral and the mesial lobes and the outline of the apex. We include a key to species identification that uses the morphology of the first male gonopod.

The present study aimed to clarify the taxonomic status of the unknown Sedum species through morphological and ecological comparisons and molecular phylogenetic analysis using ITS sequences based on comprehensive taxon sampling of sect. Sedum in East Asia. Morphologically and ecologically, the unknown species was most similar to S. lipingense in China, but was distinguished by having larger spatulate rosulate leaves and more flowers per flowering stem. Phylogenetically, it belonged to a clade with four Chinese endemics including S. lipingense and two other species widely distributed in East Asia. The clade showed polytomy at the base, but the unknown species was genetically differentiated from the other species. Therefore, we describe the unknown species from Kawara-dake as a new species, S. kawaraense.
