title: Deciphering a Chilean harvestmen enigma: what is Parabalta bicornis (Gervais, 1849) comb. nov. (Opiliones: Gonyleptidae: Pachylinae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Acosta, Luis E. (2025): Deciphering a Chilean harvestmen enigma: what is Parabalta bicornis (Gervais, 1849) comb. nov. (Opiliones: Gonyleptidae: Pachylinae). Zootaxa 5563 (1): 193-208, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5563.1.13, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5563.1.13AbstractThe largely neglected Chilean harvestman Gonyleptes bicornis Gervais, 1849 (Opiliones, Gonyleptidae), hitherto considered a junior synonym of Sadocus asperatus (Gervais, 1847), is revalidated and reallocated in genus Parabalta Roewer, 1913. This species has been repeatedly confused in the early literature, due to the misleading mismatch between text and figures in the original publication, and the lack of types. A thorough comparison of descriptions and figures demonstrated that two drawings displaying G. bicornis were mistakenly referred to G. acanthops Gervais, 1849 (currently species inquirenda and incertae sedis) and G. planiceps Guérin-Méneville in Gervais, 1842 (currently Eubalta planiceps). Parabalta bicornis comb. nov. is hereby redescribed upon modern samples; considering the complexity of the taxonomical problem, a male neotype is accordingly designated. Among other features, males can be distinguished from congeners, P. reedii (Butler, 1874) and P. cristobalia (Roewer, 1943), by the bifid apophysis on coxa IV, a strong finger-like, upwardspointing apophysis on trochanter IV, and the armature of femur IV. A detailed comparison between these species and an updated distribution map are given.

title: Polychaetes (Annelida: Polychaeta) off Kıyıköy (Black Sea, Türkiye) with descriptions of three new species

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Çinar, Melih Ertan, Erdoğan-Dereli, Deniz (2023): Polychaetes (Annelida: Polychaeta) off Kıyıköy (Black Sea, Türkiye) with descriptions of three new species. Zootaxa 5383 (4): 537-560, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5383.4.6, URL: https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/download/zootaxa.5383.4.6/52468AbstractThe examination of benthic materials collected in September 2022 at six stations off Kıyıköy (south-west coast of the Black Sea, Türkiye) both on hard (three stations) and soft substrata (three stations) at depths ranging from 8 and 27 m revealed a total of 57 polychaete species belonging to 22 families.Among the species, the polynoid Malmgrenia polypapillata is a new record for the Black Sea fauna, and three species belonging to the Syllidae (Erinaceusyllis defneae n. sp.) and Terebellidae (Polycirrus karadenizicus n. sp. and P. rhombolabiatus n. sp.) are new to science. Algae dominated (Cystoseira cinita, Cladophora sp. and Phyllophora crispa) rocky substrata had 30 polychaete species and a maximum polychaete density of 7325 individuals/m 2, while soft bottom substrata (fine sand and muddy sand with shell fragments) possessed 38 species and a maximum polychaete density of 3520 individuals/m 2. The family Nereididae (31–76% of the total number of individuals), and the species Platynereis dumerilii and Polyphthalmus pictus dominated hard bottom stations, whereas the families Nephtyidae, Spionidae and Dorvilleidae, and the species Micronephthys longicornis, Protodorvillea kefersteini and Prionospio maciolekae were represented by high number of individuals at soft-bottom stations.

title: Overview of the current status of Charipinae (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae): taxonomy, distribution, and diversity

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ferrer-Suay, Mar, Pujade-Villar, Juli, Selfa, Jesús (2023): Overview of the current status of Charipinae (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae): taxonomy, distribution, and diversity. Zootaxa 5339 (1): 1-39, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5339.1.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-04-22-0755-PDNAbstractThe subfamily Charipinae (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae) has had a problematic taxonomic history as many species have been described without comprehensive revisions being undertaken. Reliably identifying these species based on morphological assessment has been almost impossible. Recently, the types of all species have been re-examined and photographed, resulting in numerous taxonomic corrections that have been published elsewhere. Consequently, a summary checklist of all species that have ever been described within the Charipinae is provided with their current accepted status, including all associated references dealing with the historical nomenclatural changes and synonymy. We also provide up-to-date information on the diversity and distribution patterns of Charipinae to assist researchers working on these species in aphid biological control programs.

title: Designation of a Brazilian topotypic neotype for Dardanus pectinatus (Ortmann, 1892) and establishment of D. ctenodon sp. nov. for the East Atlantic hermit crab previously misidentified with it (Crustacea, Decapoda, Anomura, Diogenidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article D'Acoz, Cédric D'Udekem (2025): Designation of a Brazilian topotypic neotype for Dardanus pectinatus (Ortmann, 1892) and establishment of D. ctenodon sp. nov. for the East Atlantic hermit crab previously misidentified with it (Crustacea, Decapoda, Anomura, Diogenidae). Zootaxa 5701 (3): 292-314, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5701.3.3, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5701.3.3AbstractThe type locality of the hermit crab, Pagurus striatus var. pectinata Ortmann, 1892, as given in its original description, is Brazil. After its original brief taxonomic account, the species was first treated as amphi-Atlantic and later the name Dardanus pectinatus (Ortmann, 1892) was systematically applied to an African Atlantic species. No explicit reason has ever been given for this application. However, it transpires from the literature that carcinologists believed that the gastropod shell, Tonna galea (Linnaeus, 1758), occupied by the holotype of Pagurus striatus var. pectinata Ortmann, 1892 was endemic to the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic, and that the specimen had therefore been mislabelled. In fact, Tonna galea is amphi-Atlantic and the shell occupied by the hermit crab cannot be used to argue that it has been mislabelled. The holotype of Pagurus striatus var. pectinata Ortmann, 1892 is lost and its original description and illustration are insufficient to establish its true identity. Two steps are taken to stabilise the nomenclature in accepting the hypothesis by far most likely, i.e. that the holotype of Pagurus striatus var. pectinata did indeed come from Brazil. First action: a Brazilian neotype is designated for Pagurus striatus var. pectinata, with a specimen of a species compatible with its original description, namely Dardanus insignis (de Saussure, 1857). As a result of this action, Dardanus pectinatus (Ortmann, 1892) becomes a junior synonym of Dardanus insignis (de Saussure, 1857). Second action: the African Atlantic species is described as a new species, Dardanus ctenodon sp. nov., with a holotype from Senegal. The three similar Atlantic species Dardanus arrosor (Herbst, 1796), Dardanus ctenodon sp. nov. and Dardanus insignis (de Saussure, 1857) are the subject of an illustrated taxonomic account and an identification key is given for all the Atlantic species of Dardanus.

title: A new genus and species of barnacle (Cirripedia, Verrucomorpha) associated with vents of the Lau Back-Arc Basin: its gross morphology, inferred first juvenile stage and affinities

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Newman, William A. (2000): A new genus and species of barnacle (Cirripedia, Verrucomorpha) associated with vents of the Lau Back-Arc Basin: its gross morphology, inferred first juvenile stage and affinities. Zoosystema 22 (1): 71-84, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5391395ABSTRACTTwo specimens of a remarkable new neoverrucid and a few metamorphosing cyprid larvae containing its inferred first juvenile stage were found among the barnacles collected by the submersible Nautile during the BIOLAU Expedition (1989) to the Lau Back-Arc Basin, Tonga. The new form, Imbricaverruca yamaguchii n. gen. and n. sp., differs from the only previously known species, Neoverruca brachylepadoformis Newman, 1989, in having an operculum with a relatively large, permanent median latus and a reduced primary wall supported by relatively large, close-fitting, imbricating plates, the lowermost of which are apparently not deciduous. On the other hand, it has a superficial facies similarity with verrucids. However, its construction and inferred first juvenile stage are quite different whereby it appears to represent a relatively specialized neoverrucid rather than an evolutionary step leading to proverrucids and/or verrucids. The new form not only provides evidence that a significant diversification took place within the neoverrucids, it constitutes a significant addition to our knowledge of the vent-inhabiting cirriped fauna of the Lau Basin already considered the most diverse known in the world.
