title: Integrative taxonomy of introduced Haplosclerida and four new species from Hawaiʻi

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Vicente, Jan, Rutkowski, Emily, Lavrov, Dennis V., Martineau, Gabrielle, Timmers, Molly, Toonen, Robert J. (2025): Integrative taxonomy of introduced Haplosclerida and four new species from Hawaiʻi. Zootaxa 5566 (2): 243-272, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5566.2.2, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5566.2.2AbstractHaplosclerid sponges (Porifera: Demospongiae: Heteroscleromorpha), and particularly the family Chalinidae, are notoriously difficult to identify through taxonomic methods alone. Here we use an integrative approach to confirm the identification and report both polymorphic characters and different morphotypes exhibited from a recruitment stage that complicate identification of introduced haplosclerid species Haliclona (Soestella) caerulea and Gelliodes conulosa sp. nov. in Hawaiʻi. Using these same methods, we also describe three new species Haliclona (Gellius) pahua sp. nov., Haliclona (Reniera) kahoe sp. nov., Haliclona (Rhizoniera) loe sp. nov. from our collections in Kāne‘ohe Bay. Using a combination of mitochondrial and ribosomal RNA sequences, we compile a phylogeny that is consistent with previous molecular work but is at odds with the morphological characters used to classify species belonging to Chalinidae and Niphatidae families within Haplosclerida. Although shared morphological traits were distributed across taxa throughout the tree, both mitochondrial and ribosomal RNA sequences were diagnostic, with an average of at least 3 % sequence divergence among species and their closest relative. This study highlights both the use of standardized Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) to access the hidden diversity of haplosclerid sponges, and the potential for competition between these introduced and newly described and potentially endemic species.

title: Species confusion in the Australian inflorescence-living genus Pseudanaphothrips (Thysanoptera, Thripidae)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Mound, Laurence A., Tree, Desley J. (2025): Species confusion in the Australian inflorescence-living genus Pseudanaphothrips (Thysanoptera, Thripidae). Zootaxa 5696 (3): 425-436, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5696.3.7, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5696.3.7AbstractAn attempt is made to resolve the confused identity of species in the Australian endemic genus, Pseudanaphothrips, with an illustrated key provided to the eight species recognised here. One species, P. querci, was based on a single female from Taiwan and is here recorded from Australia for the first time, and P. achaetus is now found widely from New Zealand to Pacific islands and California. A new generic diagnosis is provided, emphasising the close relationship to Frankliniella, and Isochaetothrips pallidus Steele is considered a new synonym of Pseudanaphothrips frankstoni (Steele). Apart from the historical confusion due to type specimens being poorly slide-mounted, and descriptions that were not diagnostic, biological problems limit the reliability of taxonomic conclusions. Adults appear to disperse before reaching mature colouration, often landing on non-host plants, and males are rare in the available samples.

title: Of paddles, soup plates, and clubs: the taxonomy of the southern and southtropical African Kalanchoe sect. Raveta (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae; Kalanchoe subg. Kalanchoe) and its constituent species

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Smith, Gideon F. (2022): Of paddles, soup plates, and clubs: the taxonomy of the southern and southtropical African Kalanchoe sect. Raveta (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae; Kalanchoe subg. Kalanchoe) and its constituent species. Phytotaxa 568 (1): 8-26, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.568.1.2, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.568.1.2AbstractThe taxonomy and nomenclature applicable to Kalanchoe [subg. Kalanchoe] sect. Raveta (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae), at present a group comprised of seven southern and south-tropical African species, are reviewed. At species rank, special reference is made to the names K. aleurodes, K. albiflora, and K. wildii, with the first two names commonly included in the synonymy of K. luciae, and the third one in use for material from Zimbabwe. It is shown that the name K. aleurodes is very likely the earliest name applied to material today widely known as K. wildii. However, use of the name K. aleurodes for the little-known K. wildii is not suggested here, as the name K. aleurodes has been proposed for rejection under Article 56A.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. All the kalanchoes with large, obovate to round (soup plate-shaped and -sized) leaves and dense-flowered, club-shaped inflorescences are here included in K. sect. Raveta (in K. subg. Kalanchoe) with this long-overlooked sectional name used in the stead of K. subg. Fernandesiae. A key is provided to the species included in K. sect. Raveta.

title: A review of fossil taxa of Microphorinae (Diptera, Dolichopodidae sensu lato), with redescription of the Eocene genus Meghyperiella Meunier

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Shamshev, Igor V., Perkovsky, Evgeny E. (2022): A review of fossil taxa of Microphorinae (Diptera, Dolichopodidae sensu lato), with redescription of the Eocene genus Meghyperiella Meunier. Zootaxa 5150 (3): 411-427, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5150.3.6AbstractThe current data on fossil empidoid flies of the subfamily Microphorinae (Dolichopodidae sensu lato) are summarized. The extinct taxa of this group includes five genera (Avenaphora Grimaldi & Cumming, Curvus Kaddumi, Meghyperiella Meunier, Microphorites Hennig, Pristinmicrophor Tang, Shi, Wang & Yang) and 17 described species (one species in extant genus Microphor Macquart and two species in Schistostoma Becker). One more possible fossil microphorine genus Microcathophorites is treated as a nomen nudum. Microphorines were found from different deposits dated over a very broad geological temporal range from Lower Cretaceous to the Eocene. However, the majority of them are currently known from the Cretaceous (five genera and 13 (14?) species). Only two genera and four (three?) species were found from the Eocene. More precise definitions of Curvus, Meghyperiella, Microphorites and Pristinmicrophor as well as their possible relationships are discussed. In addition, the little known Eocene genus Meghyperiella is redescribed and newly recorded from Rovno amber (Ukraine). An identification key to all fossil taxa of microphorines is compiled for the first time.

New species of Caloca Mosely (Trichoptera: Calocidae) from eastern Australia. Memoirs of Museum Victoria 70: 1–10.The Australian endemic genus Caloca Mosely was established 60 years ago to include five species.Since then only a single species has been added to the genus. Adult males of seven new species are here named and described: C. ada sp. nov., C. sica sp. nov., C. gippslanda sp. nov., C. lata sp. nov., C. kiandra sp. nov., C. disparala sp. nov. and C. ungula sp. nov. Each species possesses a distinct triangular receptacle on the dorsum of the head capsule, which occurs only in Caloca and Pliocaloca Neboiss. A transient discoidal cell in the hindwing of one species blurs the diagnostic lines between Caloca and Pliocaloca. However, the two genera can be separated on the presence or absence of spine-like setae associated with segment X (present in Caloca), and the larvae of the two genera are distinctive. The descriptions here raise the total number of species in the genus from 6 to 13, all from south-eastern Australia. A key to the identification of all 13 species is provided.

Zootaxa 5125 (1): 63-74, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5125.1.4AbstractThe dikraneurine genus Igutettix Matsumura and its allies are revised. The definition of Igutettix is corrected and newly proposed on the basis of the true I. pulverosus Matsumura, resurrected from the synonymy with Dikraneura oculata Lindberg. Accordingly, the genus Vilbasteana Anufriev established for the latter species is resurrected as an independent valid genus. The genera Vikabara Dworakowska and Paraafrakra Chiang, Hsu et Knight, are newly synonymized under Igutettix and Vilbasteana, respectively. Igutettix is composed of three species, I. pulverosus Matsumura sp. rev., I. ater (Dworakowska) comb. nov. and I. glossatus (Dworakowska) comb. nov. Vilbasteana comprises two species, V. oculata (Lindberg) comb. rev. and V. fulva (Chiang, Hsu et Knight) comb. nov. Furthermore, a new genus, Cornicola gen. nov. related to Igutettix is described for a new species C. mizuki sp. nov. from Japan.

title: Three new Uroplectes (Scorpiones: Buthidae) with punctate metasomal segments from tropical central Africa

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Prendini, Lorenzo (2015): Three new Uroplectes (Scorpiones: Buthidae) with punctate metasomal segments from tropical central Africa. American Museum Novitates 2015 (3840): 1-32, DOI: 10.1206/3840.1, URL: http://www.bioone.org/doi/10.1206/3840.1ABSTRACTThe scorpion fauna of tropical central Africa is poorly known and may be more diverse than generally recognized. The present contribution describes three morphologically similar, and probably monophyletic species of Uroplectes Peters, 1861, which have gone undetected, despite being distributed across a large area, extending from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Uroplectes malawicus, sp. nov., and Uroplectes zambezicus, sp. nov., occurring south of Lake Malawi and in the Zambezi River Valley, respectively, appear to be sister species. Uroplectes katangensis, sp. nov., is based on a single female from the southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Based on their punctate metasomal segments, the new species appear to be most closely related to Uroplectes chubbi Hirst, 1911. The markedly concave, shagreened dorsomedian surfaces on metasomal segments I–IV resemble the stridulatory surfaces on the metasomal segments of most Parabuthus Pocock, 1890, and, together with the robust metasoma and worn tips of the aculeus observed in some specimens, suggest that these species may also be capable of stridulation. Based on examination of type material, the following synonyms were confirmed: Scorpiobuthus apatris Werner, 1939 = Uroplectes chubbi Hirst, 1911; Uroplectes jutrzenkai Penther, 1900 = Uroplectes vittatus (Thorell, 1876). The following new synonyms are presented: Uroplectes andreae Pocock, 1899 = Uroplectes occidentalis Simon, 1876, new synonym; Uroplectes chubbi briodi Schenkel, 1932 = Uroplectes vittatus (Thorell, 1876), new synonym.
