title: A new Stumpffia (Amphibia: Anura: Microhylidae) from the Ranomafana region, south-eastern Madagascar

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Ndriantsoa, Serge H., Riemann, Jana C., Vences, Miguel, Klages, Johannes, Raminosoa, Noromalala R., Rödel, Mark-Oliver, Glos, Julian (2013): A new Stumpffia (Amphibia: Anura: Microhylidae) from the Ranomafana region, south-eastern Madagascar. Zootaxa 3636 (4): 575-589, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3636.4.5AbstractWe describe a new species of small-sized frogs from degraded rainforest patches in the southern central east of Madagascar. Stumpffia miery sp. nov. has a snout-vent length of 13–15 mm and can be distinguished from all other nominal species of Stumpffia by its body size and absence of toe reduction combined with length reduction of fingers I, II and IV in external view. The advertisement call is a single tonal chirping note that ranges in duration between 51–88 ms and is emitted after relatively regular inter-note intervals (duration of 2679–4247 ms, call repetition rate 0.3/sec, frequency range 7700–8300 Hz, dominant frequency 7751–8225 Hz). Its type locality is the Ambolo forest fragment close to Ranomafana village in southeastern Madagascar. Molecular data from DNA sequences of one mitochondrial and one nuclear gene indicate a high divergence from all nominal species of Stumpffia, suggesting that it represents a strongly differentiated independent evolutionary unit. Stumpffia miery sp. nov. is apparently able to tolerate some degree of habitat degradation and therefore is probably not threatened with extinction.Key words: Amphibia, Anura, Microhylidae, Stumpffia miery sp. nov., 16 S rRNA, RAG 1

title: A redescription of Astyanax gymnodontus (Eigenmann, 1911), new combination, a polymorphic characid fish from the rio Iguaçu basin, Brazil

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Pavanelli, Carla Simone, Oliveira, Carlos Alexandre Miranda (2009): A redescription of Astyanax gymnodontus (Eigenmann, 1911), new combination, a polymorphic characid fish from the rio Iguaçu basin, Brazil. Neotropical Ichthyology 7 (4): 569-578, DOI: 10.1590/S1679-62252009000400003, URL: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1679-62252009000400003&lng=en&tlng=enAstyanax gymnodontus (Eigenmann, 1911), new combination, a polymorphic characid fish endemic to the Rio Iguaçu basin in Southern Brazil, is redescribed. The species was originally described as belonging to the monotypic genus Psalidodon, distinguished from Astyanax by the possession of a single series of teeth on the premaxilla (vs. two series), by the presence of relatively compressed teeth on the premaxillary and dentary bones (vs. relatively bulky teeth), and by the absence of lips (vs. lips present). Examination of a large number of specimens from the rio Iguaçu basin that present dental and lip features that were intermediate between Psalidodon and Astyanax indicated that specimens attributed to Psalidodon show extreme characters observed within a polymorphic Astyanax species. Accordingly, the genus Psalidodon is synonymized under Astyanax. Specimens of “ Astyanax sp. F ” morphotype from the rio Iguaçu basin belong to the species Astyanax gymnodontus and display a regular tooth arrangement and morphology, and their lip development is similar to that of other Astyanax species.Astyanax gymnodontus (Eigenmann, 1911), combinação nova, um peixe caracídeo polimórfico, endêmico da bacia do rio Iguaçu no sul do Brasil, é redescrito. A espécie foi originalmente descrita como pertencente ao gênero monotípico Psalidodon, diagnosticado de Astyanax pela posse de uma única série de dentes no pré-maxilar (vs. duas séries), pela presença de dentes relativamente comprimidos nos ossos pré-maxilar e dentário (vs. dentes relativamente robustos), e pela ausência de lábios (vs. lábios presentes). O exame de um grande número de espécimes da bacia do rio Iguaçu, apresentando características dentárias e labiais intermediárias entre Psalidodon e Astyanax, indicou que espécimes atribuídos a Psalidodon mostram caracteres extremos observados em uma espécie de Astyanax. Assim, o gênero Psalidodon é sinonimizado sob Astyanax. Espécimes do morfótipo “ Astyanax sp. F ” da bacia do rio Iguaçu pertencem à espécie Astyanax gymnodontus e exibem dentes com arranjo e morfologia regular, bem como lábios com desenvolvimento similar a outras espécies de Astyanax.

title: A new endemic insular species of the genus Colubroelaps (Squamata, Serpentes, Colubroidea) from Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Poyarkov, Nikolay A., Bragin, Andrey M., Nguyen, Tan Van (2024): A new endemic insular species of the genus Colubroelaps (Squamata, Serpentes, Colubroidea) from Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. Herpetozoa 37: 379-390, DOI: 10.3897/herpetozoa.37.e137809AbstractA new species of the poorly known genus Colubroelaps Orlov, Kharin, Ananjeva, Nguyen & Nguyen, 2009, is described based on a single female specimen collected from Hon Tre Island, Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. The new species, Colubroelaps adleri sp. nov., can be distinguished from its sister species Colubroelaps nguyenvansangi Orlov, Kharin, Ananjeva, Nguyen & Nguyen, 2009 by the following combination of morphological characters: small body size (TL 402 mm); tail relatively short (ratio TaL / TL 0.10); dorsal scales in 14–14 – 14 rows; supralabials six, third and fourth entering orbit; infralabials seven; loreal present; ventral scales 234; subcaudals 30, all divided; cloacal plate divided; dorsal coloration pale brown, with narrow and interrupted dark stripe along spine; body flanks dark-gray lacking bluish iridescence; ventrally uniform off-white; head black with rostral, nasals, prefrontals, preoculars, loreal, and the two anterior supralabials, as well as anterior parts of supraoculars and frontal dirty yellowish-brown with dark-brown spots. This discovery represents the second known species of the genus Colubroelaps and the first record of the genus in the coastal areas of southern-central Vietnam. The new species is likely micro-endemic to the small island of Hon Tre within Nha Trang Bay in Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, at an elevation of 30 m a. s. l., and was recorded only from the heavily disturbed secondary forest area of the island. The new species is under threat due to the intensifying development of tourist infrastructure on Hon Tre Island. We suggest that the new species be considered Endangered (EN) following the IUCN’s Red List categories.

(Nematoda: Oxyuridomorpha: Thelastomatoidea) is described from the intestine of 82 specimens of the Narceus americanus / annularis complex (Diplopoda: Helminthomorpha: Spirobolidae) collected from April through October 2021 in Hochatown, McCurtain County, Oklahoma, U.S.A. A total of 343 T. variabile sp. nov. consisting of 315 females, 1 male and 27 juveniles were extracted primarily from the hindguts of the millipedes. Examination of the new species was conducted with the aid of brightfield, differential interference contrast (DIC), confocal, and scanning electron microscopies (SEM). The head of the female T. variabile sp. nov. is characterized by having a domelike lip region, large first annule, secretory-excretory pore about level with the base of the basal bulb, and a tail shape ranging from short and conical to long and filiform. The new species represents only the sixth Thelastoma spp. described from a North American diplopod. This new species was used as a template for review and evaluation of the characters used to differentiate the 74 currently known species of the genus. Several new characters are proposed for the separation of Thelastoma spp.

title: Lepanthes gibbosa (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae), a new species from Costa Rica

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bogarín, Diego, Lara-Guerrero, Sofia, Camacho-Solis, Yesly (2025): Lepanthes gibbosa (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae), a new species from Costa Rica. Phytotaxa 714 (4): 281-291, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.714.4.3, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.714.4.3AbstractLepanthes is one of the most diverse genera in the Neotropics, representing a significant portion of Costa Rica’s orchid flora. However, the taxonomic identification and delimitation of Lepanthes species remain incomplete, particularly in the highly diverse regions of the Neotropics. While previous studies have recorded Lepanthes demissa in Costa Rica, some of these records actually correspond to an undescribed species that morphologically resembles Lepanthes mentosa. This study aims to clarify the taxonomic status of populations previously identified as L. demissa in Costa Rica. Our findings indicate that L. demissa is restricted to southern Costa Rica and western Panama along the Cordillera de Talamanca. In contrast, the populations from central Costa Rica previously assigned to this species represent a distinct, undescribed species, which we name here as L. gibbosa. The new species resembles L. mentosa but can be distinguished by its longer ramicauls, longer coflorescences, yellowish-white flowers with red veins, orange petals marked with a red spot, upper petal lobes that are convergent and longer than the lower lobes, the lip with oblong-ovate lobes, 1.0– 1.3 mm long with an oblong, external, subquadrate, slightly reflexed appendix and a column that is concealed by the thick body when viewed from the front. Additionally, we provide detailed information on its distribution, habitat, phenology, and conservation status. Conservation efforts should prioritize ongoing fieldwork to confirm the presence of L. gibbosa within protected areas.

title: Ontogenetic systematic characterisation of an endemic frog Rhacophorus malabaricus Jerdon, 1870 (Anura: Rhacophoridae) from Western Ghats, Kerala, India

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sandeep, Sreedharan, Joelin, Joseph, Sanil, George, Antony, Mano Mohan (2022): Ontogenetic systematic characterisation of an endemic frog Rhacophorus malabaricus Jerdon, 1870 (Anura: Rhacophoridae) from Western Ghats, Kerala, India. Zoosystema 44 (6): 159-176, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2022v44a6ABSTRACTIn the present study, the complete description of the development and metamorphosis of an endemic frog Rhacophorus malabaricus, Jerdon, 1870, is documented in its natural habitat from the Southern part of Western Ghats (Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary, India). A brief illustration of each Gosner stage (fertilized egg to metamorphosed froglet) is given based on the direct monitoring and characterisation of morphological and morphometric variations. The identity of the tadpoles was confirmed by gene sequencing. Fertilisation and early development (cleavage, blastulation gastrulation and neurulation) take place inside the foam at 21.4 ± 0.1°C. The motile stage begins at 3rd day, after hatching and then eventually dropping into the water body. Hind limbs start differentiation first on the 15th day. The larva attains maximum size (TL 48.70 ± 0.22 mm) at Gosner stages 42. The morphometric measurements are significantly correlated with Gosner stages especially from 26 to 39. Oral disc features are described with LTRF of 7(3-7)/3 and KRF of 2:5+5/3. The morphological and morphometrical data of R. malabaricus larva is compared with other known Rhacophorus Kuhl & Van Hasselt, 1822 members. The present study shows that the relative lengths of TL, SVL, BH and TAL with stages are significant morphometric characters for taxonomy. Morphological features (limb bud development, pigmentation, oral disc features, etc.) are potentially useful characters for tadpole based anuran taxonomy at stage 26 or later.

A population living in humid meadows near La Plata, regularly observed during the last five years, was found to be different from A. punctinervis. It appears in two distinct annual generations. The male produces a continuous ultrasound calling song, to which the female responds with short signals after particular syllables. The verification of all Anisophya observations from Argentina on iNaturalist helped clarifying the distinctiveness of the new species. Some ecological aspects are briefly discussed, such as a vulnerable population in the city of La Plata.
