title: A new species of the genus Protohyale Bousfield & Hendrycks, 2002 (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Hyalidae) from Covelong, Chennai, India

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Raut, Shrutika, Prakash, Sanjeevi, Arjunan, Vinuganesh, Kumar, Amit (2022): A new species of the genus Protohyale Bousfield & Hendrycks, 2002 (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Hyalidae) from Covelong, Chennai, India. Zootaxa 5205 (6): 563-574, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5205.6.4AbstractA new species of marine amphipod, Protohyale covelongensis sp. nov., is described from India. The taxon is fully described and illustrated with which it could be easily identified morphologically. Protohyale covelongensis sp. nov. has a specific shape of the basis of pereopod 7 in the mature male, forming a distinct axe-shaped flange on its anterior margin. This characteristic feature serves to distinguish it from other Indian hyalid species. This new species is also compared with known species with which it could be confused. We have performed molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I.

title: Persistence of snake carcasses on roads and its potential effect on estimating roadkills in a megadiverse country

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Cabrera-Casas, Laura Ximena, Robayo-Palacio, Lina Marcela, Vargas-Salinas, Fernando (2020): Persistence of snake carcasses on roads and its potential effect on estimating roadkills in a megadiverse country. Amphibian & Reptile Conservation (e 230) 14 (1): 163-173, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.13258003Abstract. —The persistence of fauna carcasses on roads has been considered one of the most relevant factors influencing estimates of road mortality in different taxonomic groups. However, there is a lack of information in this regard in most Neotropical countries. The aim of the present research is to describe and quantify the persistence of snake carcasses on two Colombian roads and its potential relationships with animal body size and the frequency of vehicular traffic. Additionally, to illustrate the importance of correcting roadkill rate estimates for carcass persistence, the roadkill rate of snakes on a secondary road in the study area is recalculated using the results of carcass persistence time, instead of a previously selected arbitrary value (i.e., 7 days). To estimate the carcass persistence time, eighty-one snake carcasses of diverse body sizes (mean length = 46.90 cm ± (SD) 38.46, range = 10.1–224 cm) were placed over sampling points distributed equally on two roads with different traffic frequencies (a primary road with&gt; 2,500 vehicles/day and a secondary road with &lt;1,000 vehicles/day). Snake carcass degradation was monitored until their disappearance from the road surface. The median persistence time of carcasses on roads was 7.16 h (5.20 h and 14.16 h on the primary and secondary roads, respectively). According to field experiments, around 75% of the carcasses can disappear from the road surface within 30 h after a snake has been killed. The principal cause of the disappearance of carcasses during the day was degradation due to vehicular traffic. As the carcasses tended to increase in size, the difference in their persistence between types of roads increased, with lower persistence on the primary road than on the secondary road. The conclusion from these observations is that excluding carcass persistence time from snake roadkill rate calculations leads to high underestimates of mortality. Therefore, the problem of snakes that are roadkill on the road infrastructure in Colombia is much greater than previously considered.

These two species have similar leaf type (conspicuously coriaceous, the margins revolute and with conspicuous pubescence on the abaxial leaf surface), but in Caraipa pilosa the trichomes are longer (≤ 1 mm) than in C. aracaensis (≤ 0.1 mm) and present in young stems, upper leaf surface (especially in young leaves), inflorescence axes, sepals, ovaries, and fruits. Also, in Carapia pilosa, leaf blades are consistently larger than in C. aracaensis. Caraipa pilosa is only known from the montane forest of Cerro Parú, and its conservation status is Least Concern (LC, following the IUCN Red List categories).

This study summarizes published data on the sand fly fauna of Crete, the results of new sand fly samplings and the description of a new sand fly species.Methods: All published and recent samplings were carried out using CDC light traps, sticky traps or mouth aspirators.The specific status of Phlebotomus (Adlerius) creticus n. sp., was assessed by morphological analysis, cytochrome b (cytb) sequencing and MALDI-TOF protein profiling.Results: Published data revealed the presence of 10 Phlebotomus spp. and 2 Sergentomyia spp. During presented field work, 608 specimens of 8 species of Phlebotomus and one species of Sergentomyia were collected. Both published data and present samplings revealed that the two most common and abundant species were Phlebotomus neglectus, a proven vector of Leishmania infantum causing VL, and Ph. similis, a suspected vector of L. tropica causing CL. In addition, the field surveys revealed the presence of a new species, Ph. (Adlerius) creticus n. sp.Conclusions: The identification of the newly described species is based on both molecular and morphological criteria, showing distinct characters of the male genitalia that differentiate it from related species of the subgenus Adlerius as well as species-specific sequence of cytb and protein spectra generated by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.KeyWords: Phlebotominae, Phlebotomus (Adlerius) creticus n. sp., Crete, Greece, Sand fly fauna

Records of the Zoological Survey of India 121 (1): 11-16, DOI: 10.26515/rzsi/v121/i1/2021/151749AbstractA rare axiid shrimp Eutrichocheles modestus (Herbst, 1796) belong to the family Axiidae have been discovered from the Digha Coast, Northwestern Bay of Bengal, India. The presence of E. modestus in Northwestern Bay of Bengal constitutes extension of the known geographical range of the species in the Indo-Pacific. In addition, the molecular information of E. modestus, using the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene was provided with the K2P genetic divergence matrix of the closely related genera in the family Axiidae. Thus, it is believed that further exploration of this rare axiid shrimp E. modestus in the Indian waters will fulfill the gaps on population as well as other biological information.

title: Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) lainsoni n. sp. from Mesomys hispidus (Rodentia: Echimyidae) in Brazil: trypomastigotes described from experimentally infected laboratory mice

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Naiff, Roberto Daibes, Barrett, Toby Vincent (2013): Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) lainsoni n. sp. from Mesomys hispidus (Rodentia: Echimyidae) in Brazil: trypomastigotes described from experimentally infected laboratory mice. Parasite (Paris, France) 20 (51): 1-5, DOI: 10.1051/parasite/2013049, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/parasite/2013049Abstract – We report the detection, isolation and description of Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) lainsoni n. sp. from a caviomorph rodent, Mesomys hispidus (Rodentia: Echimyidae), obtained in the Rio Negro region of the state of Amazonas, in northern Brazil. Laboratory-bred white mice (Mus musculus) and rats (Rattus rattus) were inoculated with large numbers of culture forms by intraperitoneal route, and trypomastigotes appeared in their blood 3–8 days post-inoculation. One single epimastigote was also found in Mus musculus. Similar attempts to infect Rattus norvegicus, hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), the opossum Didelphis marsupialis, the anteater Tamandua tetradactyla and triatomine bugs were unsuccessful, following six months of observations and microscopic examinations of blood films and blood cultures. As we have found no previous record of a Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) species naturally infecting a member of the family Echimyidae, or any other caviomorph rodent, we conclude that this is the first time such an infection has been reported. The new species is unusual in the subgenus for its infectivity to laboratory mice.

The specimens were captured on the external wall of a house on the outskirts of the city of Galatone (province of Lecce, South-Eastern Italy) at the end of October 2020. They formed an aggregation of about eight specimens, all females, and they were in the immediate vicinity of pieces of rotting meat, so it is plausible to assume that the specimens came out of some Diptera-Cyclorrapha chrysalis. These finds represent a significant contribution towards a better knowledge of the distribution of members of the genus Aphaereta in Italy. Moreover, a key to the Italian Aphaereta species is provided.
