title: Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae). Zootaxa 5570 (1): 1-56, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5570.1.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5570.1.1AbstractA taxonomic and nomenclatorial revision of the Calomera decemguttata species-complex within the tiger beetle genus Calomera Motschulsky, 1862 is presented. The revision has revealed that the genuine type of Cicindela decemguttata Fabricius, 1801 is not conspecific with the species commonly treated in literature as Calomera decemguttata. As a result, Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov. (= C. decemguttata sensu auctorum, partim) is described as new to science. Differential diagnoses and a key to the members of the species-complex consisting of Calomera decemguttata Fabricius, 1801, C. durvillei (Dejean, 1831), C. mamasa Cassola & Brzoska, 2008, C. jakli Schüle, 2010, C. cabigasi Cassola, 2011, C. bordonii Wiesner, 2018 and C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. are presented. Two additional species, immediately differentiated from the C. decemguttata species-complex, yet obviously belonging to the same species-group, are also treated here: C. marmorata (W. Horn, 1925) (originally described as a subspecies of C. decemguttata) with differential diagnosis, lectotype designation and illustrations, and C. sanguineomaculata (Blanchard, 1853) with only differential diagnosis and note to C. sanguineomaculata savoensis (Cassola, 1987). Habitus and diagnostic characters are illustrated in colour photographs (those of type specimens of C. decemguttata, C. mamasa and C. marmorata are presented for the first time). Lectotype of Cicindela decemguttata is newly designated.

title: New data on Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) of Peninsular Malaysia

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Sinev, Artem Y., Dadykin, Ivan A., Umi, Wahidah A. D., Yusoff, Fatimah M. (2025): New data on Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) of Peninsular Malaysia. Zootaxa 5604 (3): 255-284, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5604.3.3, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5604.3.3AbstractCladoceran samples from Peninsular Malaysia were collected during four sampling trips: in October 2013, November– December 2014, January–February 2018, and September 2022. More than 50 localities were sampled on each trip, including ditches, canals, rivers, ponds, swamps, lakes, old mining pools, and reservoirs. In these samples, we revealed six species new to Malaysia: two of them are planktonic (Bosmina meridionalis and Bosmina fatalis) and four are substrate-associated (Simocephalus expinosus, Anthalona spinifera, Anthalona vandammei, Karualona serrulata). Both species of the genus Bosmina appear to be recent additions to the local fauna, as this genus was not recorded in Malaysia until the last decade. New records are obtained on three rare local species: Simocephalus mixtus, Streblocerus spinulatus, and Acroperus harpae. The morphology of two uncommon East Asian species, Coronatella acuticostata and Chydorus obscurirostris tasekberae was investigated in detail for the first time. With the new records, the list of valid cladoceran species of Malaysia now consists of 72 species as compared to 62 species reported by Idris (1983) in his monograph. However, more studies are needed to produce an exhaustive final species list of the Malaysian cladocerans.

Bonn zoological Bulletin 68 (1): 61-91, DOI: 10.20363/BZB-2019.68.1.061, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.20363/bzb-2019.68.1.061Abstract. Based on molecular, morphological and field data, the status and zoogeography of the taxa of the Psammophis sibilans group north of 12°S are reviewed. Molecular data including sequences from 20 of the 22 described species known to occur north of 12°S suggest that P. sibilans distribution is restricted to northeastern Africa, from Egypt to Ethiopia. Populations from West Africa are described as a new species, P. afroccidentalis sp. nov., and those from Chad, Cameroon and Central African Republic are assigned to P. rukwae which is also distributed from Tanzania to Ethiopia. Molecular data indicate the occurrence within this complex of three additional cryptic species in the Horn of Africa. Populations previously assigned to P. phillipsi in Central Africa north, south and east of the Congo forest block are assigned to P. mossambicus and the status of P. occidentalis is discussed. P. phillipsi is restricted to West Africa, with P. irregularis as junior synonym.Key words.

This genus is distinguished from Coelotes by a lighter general colouration and a longer and thinner apical segment of the posterior lateral spinnerets, as well as by the distinctive shape of the epigyne with long teeth located anteriorly of a trapezoidal or sandglass fovea. Brignoliolus is considered to encompass nine species, including B. ovchinnikovi sp. nov. from Israel, described herein. The new species most resembles B. vignai and B. caudata but differs from them by the shape and spination of cymbial tip and relative length of epigynal fovea and teeth. All species are discussed, diagnosed and their correct distributional data is provided.Eight new combinations are established: B. arganoi (Brignoli, 1978) comb. nov.; B. caudatus (de Blauwe, 1973) comb. nov.; B. charitonovi (Spassky, 1939) comb. nov.; B. coenobita (Brignoli, 1978) comb. nov.; B. juglandicola (Ovchinnikov, 1984) comb. nov.; B. nenilini (Ovchinnikov, 1999) comb. nov.; B. turkestanicus (Ovchinnikov, 1999) comb. nov.; B. vignai (Brignoli, 1978) comb. nov. .

title: An integrative approach to the taxonomy of the crown-of-thorns starfish species group (Asteroidea: Acanthaster): A review of names and comparison to recent molecular data

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Haszprunar, Gerhard, Spies, Martin (2014): An integrative approach to the taxonomy of the crown-of-thorns starfish species group (Asteroidea: Acanthaster): A review of names and comparison to recent molecular data. Zootaxa 3841 (2): 271-284, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3841.2.6AbstractThe scientific names published for species and subspecies in the genus Acanthaster Gervais (Asteroidea: Valvatida: Acanthasteridae) are reviewed, with particular attention to the A. planci species group (crown-of-thorn starfish, COTS). Several problems with earlier nomenclatural and bibliographic data are resolved. The available name for the type species of Acanthaster in the original combination is Asterias echinites Ellis & Solander in Watt, 1786; the often-cited " Asterias echinus " and " Acanthaster echinus " are incorrect subsequent spellings, therefore unavailable. The scientific names and taxonomic concepts for species and subspecies in Acanthaster are compared to recently published, robust COI-barcoding clades. Two of four clades in the A. planci group can be named unequivocally, a third requires a neotype designation to decide which of two available names will be valid, and the fourth clade necessitates a new species description and name. The References section includes annotations explaining bibliographical data important to the nomenclatural evaluations. Many hyperlinks interspersed with the paper's texts offer quick access to digital versions of the respective references.

title: Nylanderia of the World, Part IV: Taxonomic contributions to the American Clade I of New World Nylanderia (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Williams, Jason L., Williams, John F., Lapolla, John S., Lucky, Andrea (2025): Nylanderia of the World, Part IV: Taxonomic contributions to the American Clade I of New World Nylanderia (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Zootaxa 5569 (3): 549-593, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5569.3.10, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5569.3.10AbstractGlobally, potentially hundreds of Nylanderia species remain undescribed, hidden within several broadly distributed complexes of morphologically cryptic species. By integrating phylogenomics, geography, and morphology, we describe eight new Nylanderia species from southern Mexico and Mesoamerica, increasing the total number of known species in the genus to 131. In the Americas, Nylanderia is divided into two distantly related clades: American Clade I (AC1) and American Clade II (AC2). Within AC1, Nylanderia austroccidua (Trager) was originally described as a widespread and morphologically variable species distributed from Utah to Costa Rica. This species was diagnosed by a slight concavity in the anterior face of the pronotum and varying degrees of fine cuticular microsculpturing across the body that causes blue cuticular iridescence under microscopic examination. Using Ultraconserved Elements (UCEs) for molecular phylogenetic analysis, we found that taxa matching the original description of N. austroccidua are paraphyletic with respect to Nearctic Nylanderia species. We also found that AC1 includes a Neotropical subclade extending into Mesoamerica, the distribution of which overlaps with AC2, which is exclusively Neotropical. Along with an updated description of N. austroccidua, we also describe the following new species belonging to clade AC1: N. breviscapa, sp. nov., N. contraria, sp. nov., N. lazulina, sp. nov., N. luceata, sp. nov., N. mendax sp. nov., N. mosaica sp. nov., N. polita sp. nov., and N. usul, sp. nov. A dichotomous key and images of the worker caste of these species are included and, where available, images of queens and males are provided.

Zootaxa 5194 (1): 33-57, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5194.1.2AbstractNew species and a new genus of polypterozetoid oribatid mite are described from wet habitats in forests in south-eastern Australia: Tumerozetes roughleyi sp. nov. (Tumerozetidae), Nodocepheus luxtoni sp. nov. and Sacculella yarra gen. et sp. nov. (Nodocepheidae). The superfamily Polypterozetoidea has not been recorded previously from Australia. Tumerozetes roughleyi sp. nov. and Sacculella yarra gen. et sp. nov. were recorded from temperate Nothofagus cunninghami rainforest in central Victoria. Nodocepheus luxtoni sp. nov. was recorded from temperate rainforest in Tasmania and eastern Victoria. Tumerozetes was known previously only from New Zealand, and Nodocepheus from New Zealand, southern Africa and south-central America. The definitions of Tumerozetidae and Nodocepheidae are revised in the light of observations on the morphology of these new species, and their phylogenetic and biogeographical affinities with other members of the Polypterozetoidea are considered.
