title: Morphological and genetic data challenge species and subspecies in the Lerista microtis group (Squamata: Scincidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Farquhar, Jules E., Prates, Ivan, Doughty, Paul, Rabosky, Daniel L., Chapple, David G. (2024): Morphological and genetic data challenge species and subspecies in the Lerista microtis group (Squamata: Scincidae). Zootaxa 5437 (3): 336-362, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5437.3.2, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5437.3.2AbstractThe subspecies rank has been widely applied by taxonomists to capture infraspecific variation within the Linnaean classification system. Many subspecies described throughout the 20 th century were recognised largely based on perceived variation in single morphological characters yet have since been found not to correspond to separately evolving population lineages, thus requiring synonymy or elevation to full species under lineage-based views of species. These modern lineage-based taxonomic resolutions have resulted from a combination of new molecular genetic techniques, improved geographical sampling of specimens, and more sophisticated analyses of morphological variation (e.g., statistical assessments rather than solely univariate descriptive ones). Here, we revisit the current taxonomic arrangement of species-level and subspecific taxa in the Lerista microtis (Gray) group, which is distributed along a narrow ~ 2000 km strip on the southern coast of Australia. From specimens of the L. microtis group, an additional species (Lerista arenicola) and two additional subspecies (L. m. intermedia and L. m. schwaneri) were described. We collected data on mensural, meristic, and colour pattern characters to explore morpho-spatial relationships among these taxa. Although our morphological analyses revealed some distinctiveness among specimens from locations assigned to each taxon, this variation is continuous along Australia’s southern coastline, assuming the form of a geographic cline rather than discrete forms. For many characters, however, spatial patterns were inconsistent with the original descriptions, particularly of the subspecies. Moreover, analysis of genome wide restriction-associated DNA loci revealed multiple instances of paraphyly among taxa, with phylogenetic clustering of specimens assigned to distinct species and subspecies. These emerging patterns provide no support for L. arenicola as a species evolving separately from L. microtis. Additionally, our findings challenge the presumed distinctiveness and coherence of the three subspecies of L. microtis. We thus synonymise L. arenicola and the L. microtis subspecies with L. microtis and provide a redescription of a single yet morphologically variable species—an arrangement that best reflects evolutionary history and the continuous nature of morphological variation across space.

title: A new species of Pristiphora Latreille (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae), a defoliator of Picea meyeri in China

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Liu, Meng-Meng, Li, Min, Li, Shuang, Li, Ze-Jian, Wei, Mei-Cai (2025): A new species of Pristiphora Latreille (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae), a defoliator of Picea meyeri in China. Journal of Hymenoptera Research 98: 525-543, DOI: 10.3897/jhr.98.152315AbstractIn this paper, a new species of Pristiphora is described and illustrated, P. brevitheca sp. nov. collected in Hebei Province from China. Based on the morphological characteristics of females and males and the maximum likelihood tree analysis based on COI, it is determined that this new species belongs to the P. abietina group. Partial mitochondrial genome and 21 tRNA secondary structures of the new species are described. The partial mitochondrial genome (16,187 bp) contains 36 genes: 13 protein-coding genes, 21 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. Notably, trnQ and the control region (CR) are missing from the assembly. The A + T content of P. brevitheca mitochondrial genome is 80.9 %. Phylogenetic analysis showed that P. brevitheca belongs to the P. abietina group, and this also supports the monophyly of the group. The consumption of Picea meyeri (Pinaceae) needles by the new species results in the complete defoliation of some trees. Some biological characteristics of the new species are also provided.

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Bidarlord, Mahmoud, Kljuykov, Eugene, Lyskov, Dmitry (2023): Bupleurum iranicum (Apiaceae), a new species from Talesh Mountains, northwestern Iran. Phytotaxa 583 (2): 183-190, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.583.2.6, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.583.2.6AbstractA new species, Bupleurum iranicum (Apiaceae), is described from Ardabil Province, northwestern Iran. The new species is similar to B. anatolicum and B. brachiatum in the narrow, linear cauline leaves, herbaceous bracts similar to bracteoles, bracteoles shorter than the flowers, fruit surface, and petals smooth, and number of umbel rays 2–3. At the same time, the new species differs from the above-mentioned taxa in features of the stem features (non-branched or slightly branched vs. diffusely or dichotomously branched), umbel rays (subequal vs. unequal), length and number of bracts (equal 1–2 vs. subequal 2–5), and shape (elliptic to ovate vs. lanceolate). A detailed description and comparisons with other similar taxa, color images, distribution and habitat, and a taxonomic key to the Bupleurum species from Iran are provided. The new species should be listed as Critically Endangered, its protection is therefore recommended.

title: The genus Liocanthydrus Guignot, 1957 (Coleoptera, Noteridae) in Argentina: new records and larval morphology

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Urcola, Juan I., Toledo, Mario E., Baca, Stephen M., Michat, Mariano C. (2025): The genus Liocanthydrus Guignot, 1957 (Coleoptera, Noteridae) in Argentina: new records and larval morphology. ZooKeys 1231: 371-384, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1231.144746AbstractThe genus Liocanthydrus Guignot, 1957 is formally reported from Argentina since its first mention in an unpublished work more than 40 years ago. A single species, L. nanops Baca et al., 2014, is recognised, with few records in the northeast part of the country, suggesting that these may represent the southern distributional limit for the genus. The habitat, a floodplain stream in the southern Atlantic Forest, is described, where both adults and larvae were collected, as well as co-occurring taxa. The first- and third-instar larvae of L. nanops are described for the first time. The first instar, which was unknown for the genus, gives the chance to document its primary chaetotaxy in detail. This species presents two posterodorsal projections on the abdominal segment VIII, which represent elongations of the membranous posterolateral areas of segment VIII, where setae AB 8 and AB 14 are usually inserted; these two setae accompany the elongation of these regions and are therefore inserted on the projections. The projections are shared with the previously described larvae of L. clayae (J. Balfour-Browne, 1969) but not with those of other noterid genera, and, thus, supports this unique feature as diagnostic of Liocanthydrus.

title: A novel symbiotic relationship between ascidians and a new tunic-boring polychaete (Annelida: Spionidae: Polydora)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Abe, Hirokazu, Hoshino, Osamu, Yamada, Kazuyuki, Ogino, Tetsuya, Kawaida, Shun, Sato-Okoshi, Waka (2022): A novel symbiotic relationship between ascidians and a new tunic-boring polychaete (Annelida: Spionidae: Polydora). Zootaxa 5159 (1): 1-22, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5159.1.1AbstractPolydora tunicola Abe, Hoshino & Yamada, sp. nov., a new spionid species currently considered an obligate symbiont of styelid ascidians, is described based on materials collected from Polycarpa cf. cryptocarpa kroboja (Oka, 1906) and Cnemidocarpa sp. in Izu-Oshima Island and Polycarpa sp. in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. Polychaete–ascidian symbiotic relationships are known only in two syllid species: Myrianida pinnigera (Montagu, 1808) and Proceraea exoryxae Martin, Nygren & Cruz-Rivera, 2017. The latter has been the only polychaete known to bore into the tunic of an ascidian. Polydora tunicola sp. nov. is the second known example of a tunic-boring polychaete, which constructs U-shaped burrows in the tunic of the host ascidians. Worms were often concentrated near the host siphons and assumed to use water currents created by the filter-feeding host for suspension feeding. Although the boring mechanism into ascidian tunica is unknown, the plate assay and zymography results consistently detected cellulase activities, suggesting that cellulose digestion may enable the worms to bore into the cellulose-rich ascidian tunics. Polydora tunicola sp. nov. is morphologically similar to P. aura Sato-Okoshi, 1998, P. cornuta Bosc, 1802, P. fusca Radashevsky & Hsieh, 2000, P. glycymerica Radashevsky, 1993, P. latispinosa Blake & Kudenov, 1978, P. lingulicola Abe & Sato-Okoshi, 2020, P. nanomon Orensky & Williams, 2009, P. robi Williams, 2000, and P. vulgaris Mohammad, 1972 in having a single median antenna on the caruncle and chaetiger 5 without dorsal superior capillaries but with ventral capillaries. The new species is unique in having a black-rimmed pygidium, distinguishing it from these species. The phylogenetic analyses of the concatenated 18S, 28S, and 16S sequences recovered P. tunicola sp. nov. as the sister species to P. aura within a well-supported clade also including P. lingulicola and P. cf. glycymerica. The bright yellow body color of P. tunicola sp. nov. in life is similar to that of P. aura, however, these two species are distinguished by the former not having modified posterior notochaetae. The symbiotic nature of the association between P. tunicola sp. nov. and styelid ascidians is discussed.

Zoosystema 46 (8): 177-193, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2024v46a8, URL: https://sciencepress.mnhn.fr/sites/default/files/articles/pdf/zoosystema2024v46a8.pdfABSTRACTA new systematic placement of Humeromima rufipes (Boheman, 1834) within the Omias generic complex is proposed as a result of a comprehensive morphological analysis. An improved redescription, including fine structures of male and female terminalia, is provided. Synapomorphies are revealed in the structures of female terminalia, male genitalia, mouthparts, and tarsi. The reduction of iridescent vestiture and the robustization of legs reflect a deep morpho-adaptive transformation of H. rufipes towards a geophilic lifestyle. The restricted range of H. rufipes suggests that it may be subendemic to Podolian Upland. Notably, the co-occurrence of obligate amphigonic species with hypothetical glacial forest microrefugia and a biodiversity hotspot of meadow steppes strongly suggests relict status of H. rufipes since the Last Glacial Maximum.
