title: Overview of the ant genus Vollenhovia (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in India and Sri Lanka, with an illustrated key and the description of a new species

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Akbar, Shahid Ali, Bharti, Himender, Schifani, Enrico, Wachkoo, Aijaz Ahmad (2023): Overview of the ant genus Vollenhovia (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in India and Sri Lanka, with an illustrated key and the description of a new species. European Journal of Taxonomy 908: 77-107, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2023.908.2339, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2339/10187Abstract. The ant genus Vollenhovia Mayr, 1865 (Myrmicinae, Crematogastrini) mostly occurs in the Australasian and Oriental regions. We revised its diversity in India and Sri Lanka based on qualitative and quantitative morphology, recognizing eleven taxa, including a new species which is described herewith: V. escherichi Forel, 1911, V. gastropunctata Bharti & Kumar, 2013, V. karimalaensis Dhadwal et al., 2023, V. keralensis Kripakaran & Sadasivan, 2022, V. mawrapensis Dhadwal et al., 2023, V. oblonga laevithorax Emery, 1889, V. penetrans (Smith, 1857), V. pfeifferi Bharti et al., 2023, V. taylori Rilta et al., 2023, V. terayamai Rilta et al., 2023, and V. yasmeenae sp. nov. The subspecies status of V. oblonga laevithorax and its relationship with V. penetrans, whose type series does not contain workers, still requires to be assessed in the context of a broader revision including the whole Oriental region. The known distribution of the genus in the Indian subcontinent appears to be fragmentary, still requiring extensive sampling efforts. Four species are from the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot in the southern Indian state of Kerala, one is endemic to the biogeographically related Sri Lanka, three are known from Eastern India near the border with Bangladesh, two are reported from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and one is restricted to the Himachal Pradesh in northern India. A comprehensive key of the known Vollenhovia species from India and Sri Lanka is provided.

title: Re-evaluation of Ceratostomella and Xylomelasma with introduction of two new species (Sordariomycetes)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Réblová, Martina, Nekvindová, Jana, Kolařík, Miroslav, Jurjević, Željko, Kolář, Michal, Hubka, Vít (2024): Re-evaluation of Ceratostomella and Xylomelasma with introduction of two new species (Sordariomycetes). MycoKeys 110: 319-360, DOI: 10.3897/mycokeys.110.136844AbstractIn this study, we assessed the phylogenetic relationships among members of Ceratostomella and the morphologically similar genus Xylomelasma, currently classified within the Sordariomycetes. Our phylogenetic analyses, utilising three and five gene markers, revealed that species from these two genera are congeneric, supporting the transfer of Xylomelasma to Ceratostomella. Consequently, we propose two new combinations: C. sordida comb. nov. and C. novae-zelandiae comb. nov. In addition, we identified two cryptic species within the C. sordida species complex, which are described as C. crypta sp. nov. and C. melanospora sp. nov. Traditional micromorphological characters have proven insufficient for differentiating these new species; however, they are clearly distinguishable by molecular data, particularly using the internal transcribed spacer region ITS 1-5.8 S-ITS 2 (ITS) of the nuclear rRNA cistron, and genes encoding the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (rpb 2), and translation elongation factor 1 - α (tef 1 - α) as primary and secondary barcodes. This study provides new insights into the morphological characteristics of Ceratostomella, identifying the ascogenous system as an important diagnostic trait at the generic level, which distinguishes Ceratostomella from morphologically similar fungi. Ceratostomella is currently recognised with eight species. We also investigated the relationship between Ceratostomella and the closely related Barbatosphaeria. The lack of statistical support in the Maximum likelihood analysis is discussed and the inclusion of Ceratostomella in Barbatosphaeriaceae is not supported. Ceratostomella is accepted as a genus incertae sedis, while Barbatosphaeriaceae remains a monotypic family. The global diversity of Ceratostomella is inferred from metabarcoding data and published field observations. Biogeographic analysis indicates that members of Ceratostomella are widespread, found in soil and decaying wood, as well as in air, dust, roots, shoots, and water across temperate, subtropical and tropical regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. We are concurrently publishing whole-genome analyses of three ex-type strains of Ceratostomella, i. e. C. crypta, C. melanospora and C. sordida. This effort aims to establish a new standard for high-quality taxonomic studies, which, in accordance with current trends, should incorporate whole-genome sequencing data for future research and application. Our findings underscore the importance of integrating morphological, biogeographic and molecular data for accurate species delineation and highlight the complexity within the genus Ceratostomella.

title: Diversity of the extinct land snail genus Chilonopsis of St Helena (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Achatinidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Gerlach, Justin, Griffiths, Owen, Hume, Julian P., Louchart, Antoine, Sorrel, Philippe, Cairns-Wicks, Rebecca (2025): Diversity of the extinct land snail genus Chilonopsis of St Helena (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Achatinidae). European Journal of Taxonomy 1007: 176-210, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1007.3007, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3007/13499Abstract. The extinct land snail genus Chilonopsis (Achatinidae) endemic to St Helena is revised, based on existing and new material collected during palaeontological investigations in 2022–2023. We recognise nine species, including one from the new material that was previously undescribed: Chilonopsis lanceoloideus sp. nov. We review the nomenclature of all species and confirm the recent, but largely overlooked, validation of C. aurisvulpina, and the correct spelling of C. melanioides. We designate lectotypes for C. aurisvulpina and C. subtruncatus and synonymise Bulimus relegatus Benson with the former. Two species were recorded alive in 1878 and 1884–86 (C. melanioides and C. turtoni), but neither have been found alive since; the others have only ever been found as subfossil material.

title: Taxonomic review, morphometry, and phylogenetic analysis of Mahanarva (Ipiranga) Fennah, 1968 (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cercopidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Meneghetti, Jéssica, Biganzoli-Rangel, Alejandro Jose, Carvalho, Gervásio Silva, Paladini, Andressa (2025): Taxonomic review, morphometry, and phylogenetic analysis of Mahanarva (Ipiranga) Fennah, 1968 (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cercopidae). Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny 83: 45-73, DOI: 10.3897/asp.83.e130043AbstractMahanarva (Ipiranga) Fennah, 1968, currently comprises nine described species. The subgenus is characterized by an inflated postclypeus with a convex profile, longer than wide tegmina, and male genitalia with a short, laterally compressed aedeagus with a pair of slender dorsal processes. In this study, a phylogenetic hypothesis based on morphological data is presented to test the monophyly of Mahanarva (Ipiranga) and infer the relationship between its species. We present the redescriptions of its species and the description of two new species, Mahanarva (Ipiranga) obliqua sp. nov. and Mahanarva (Ipiranga) nefasta sp. nov., along with a dichotomous key for identification. Moreover we synonymized M. (I.) vittata and M. (I.) fortunata based on morphological characters and a principal component analysis. The PCA results suggested no differences on the morphospace between these species; however, cluster analysis resulted in three groups. These groups don’t show a geographic pattern structure or stable genitalic morphological differences. For phylogenetic analyses, a data matrix with 30 taxa and 56 characters was constructed. Based on the results of phylogenetic analyses, Mahanarva (Ipiranga) is recovered as paraphyletic and grouped with Mahanarva (Mahanarva) + Kanaima.

title: A revision of Malagasy species of Anochetus Mayr and Odontomachus Latreille (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Fisher, B. L., Smith, M. A. (2008): A revision of Malagasy species of Anochetus Mayr and Odontomachus Latreille (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). PLoS ONE 3: 1-23, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0001787AbstractSpecies inventories are essential for documenting global diversity and generating necessary material for taxonomic study and conservation planning. However, for inventories to be immediately relevant, the taxonomic process must reduce the time to describe and identify specimens. To address these concerns for the inventory of arthropods across the Malagasy region, we present here a collaborative approach to taxonomy where collectors, morphologists and DNA barcoders using cytochrome c oxidase 1 (CO1) participate collectively in a team-driven taxonomic process. We evaluate the role of DNA barcoding as a tool to accelerate species identification and description.This revision is primarily based on arthropod surveys throughout the Malagasy region from 1992 to 2006. The revision is based on morphological and CO1 DNA barcode analysis of 500 individuals. In the region, five species of Anochetus (A. boltoni sp. nov., A. goodmani sp. nov., A. grandidieri, and A. madagascarensis from Madagascar, and A. pattersoni sp. nov. from Seychelles) and three species of Odontomachus (O. coquereli, O. troglodytes and O. simillimus) are recognized. DNA barcoding (using cytochrome c oxidase 1 (CO1)) facilitated caste association and type designation, and highlighted population structure associated with reproductive strategy, biogeographic and evolutionary patterns for future exploration.This study provides an example of collaborative taxonomy, where morphology is combined with DNA barcoding. We demonstrate that CO1 DNA barcoding is a practical tool that allows formalized alpha-taxonomy at a speed, detail, precision, and scale unattainable by employing morphology alone.

Zootaxa 5679 (4): 552-572, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5679.4.5, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5679.4.5AbstractThree new species of Magnificus Yan, 2000 are described: M. florianii sp. nov. from western Yunnan and M. shaosiming sp. nov. from southern Shaanxi, both in China, and M. ignatevi sp. nov. from West Bengal, India. Six female specimens that could not be positively attributed to any of the species described in this paper were investigated; five specimens (morphotype 1) are considered most similar to Magnificus bouvieri (Oberthür, 1913), and one (morphotype 2) to Magnificus dirschi (Bang-Haas, 1939). These two determinations are described here in detail for future evaluation of the genus. The current southern distributional boundary seems to correspond to two tectonic boundaries—the subduction zone between India and Asia, and the Red River Fault, marking a major tectonic boundary resulting from the accretion of the Indian continent. These tectonic boundaries are consistent with the Laurasian ancestral range, but the new Himalaya record is an indication that Magnificus may be more widely distributed in eastern Asia.

title: Molecular phylogeny of Austrofundulus Myers (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae), with revision of the genus and the description of four new species.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Tomas Hrbek, Donald C. Taphorn, Jamie E. Thomerson (2005): Molecular phylogeny of Austrofundulus Myers (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae), with revision of the genus and the description of four new species. Zootaxa 825: 1-39, URL: http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:A65C9E57-187D-4503-AD3A-E7E4135A77BFABSTRACTPhylogenetic analysis of 13 mitochondrial DNA genes of Austrofundulus Myers 1932 indicates that as presently recognized, A. limnaeus is composed of several populations with monophyletic haplotype lineages, which together are paraphyletic with respected to A. transilis. These populations were previously united based on shared plesiomorphic morphometric characters. Austrofundulus myersi is removed from synonymy; four new species: A. rupununi, A. leohoignei, A. guajira, and A. leoni are described; and A. limnaeus is restricted to populations along the eastern side of Lake Maracaibo. In contrast, populations of A. transilis from the Rio Apure Llanos and the lower Rio Unare basin show little divergence. The proposed phylogeny: (A. myersi (A. leoni (A. limnaeus (A. guajira (A. leohoignei (A. rupununi (A. transilis ))))))) is strongly supported by high bootstrap values and Bremer decay indexes, and unique length variations in the 12S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene. The distributions and the relationships of the newly erected species are concordant with the geological history of northern South America.Un analisis filogenetico de 13 genes del ADN mitocondrial de Austrofundulus muestra que como actualmente este configurada, la especie Austrofundulus limnaeus es parafiletica, y consiste de varias linajes monofileticas que estuvieron unidas en base de caracteristicas morfometricas plesiomorficas que comparten. Se remueve Austrofundulus myersi de la sinonimia de A. limnaeus, se describen cuatro especies nuevas: A. rupununi, A. leohoignei, A. guajira y A. leoni, y se restringe A. limnaeus a las poblaciones del lado este del Lago de Maracaibo. Muy distinta la situacion de las diferentes poblaciones de A. transilis de las cuencas del Rio Apure y Unare, que muestra poca divergencia genetica. La filogenia propuesta es: (A. myersi (A. leoni (A. limnaeus (A. guajira (A. leohoignei (A. rupununi (A. transilis ))))))) se apoya fuertemente por los altos valores bootstrap y los indices Bremer de descomposicion y por variaciones unicas en la longitud del gen 12S de la ribosoma de RDN (rRDN).
