Abstract:
... Devilleferus brunkei Jenkins Shaw & Solodovnikov, gen. et sp. nov., a distinctive new genus and species of Staphylinini rove beetle with an unusual set of morphological characters is described from the tropical Andes (Ecuador and possibly Colombia and Bolivia) in South America. To resolve systematic placement of the new genus within Staphylinini we assembled a dataset of 68 morphological character ...

Subject:
Hydrozoa; genetic variation; invertebrates; monophyly; new genus; new species; Maldives; Red Sea
Abstract:
... The family Sphaerocorynidae includes two valid genera and five species, most of which have a confusing taxonomic history. Here, a new genus and species, Astrocoryne cabela, gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Maldives and the Red Sea, based on both morphological and molecular evidence. Astrocoryne cabela has an apomorphy represented by the type of tentacles, here named ‘dicapitate’, and consis ...

3. Contrasting the population genetic structure of two velvet worm taxa (Onychophora:Peripatopsidae:Peripatopsis) in forest fragments along the south-eastern Cape, South Africa

Bayesian theory; conservation areas; cytochrome-c oxidase; genetic analysis; habitat fragmentation; haplotypes; invertebrates; loci; mitochondrial DNA; nucleotide sequences; phylogeny; phylogeography; population genetics; population structure; ribosomal RNA; taxonomy; variance; South Africa
Abstract:
... During the present study, we examined the phylogeography and systematics of two species of velvet worm (Peripatopsis Pocock, 1894) in the forested region of the southern Cape of South Africa. A total of 89 P. moseleyi (Wood-Mason, 1879) and 65 P. sedgwicki (Purcell, 1899) specimens were collected and sequenced for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I mtDNA (COI). In addition, a single P. sedgwicki s ...

4. Hedera caerulescens (Alcyonacea:Alcyoniidae), a new genus and species of soft coral from the temperate North Atlantic: invasive in its known range?

Subject:
Alcyoniidae; Hedera; butterflies; coasts; corals; crossing; new genus; photographs; phylogeny; stolons; North Carolina
Abstract:
... We describe a novel alcyoniid species of stoloniferous octocoral found off the coast of North Carolina, USA. Colonies have an encrusting morphology with pale to bright blue monomorphic polyps connected by spongy, sclerite-dense stolons that often form mats. Sclerites are colourless and sparsely tubercled. Sclerites of the stolons are predominantly spindles and rods with rare irregular fused forms, ...

5. Relationships and phylogenetic revision of Filistatinella spiders (Araneae:Filistatidae)

ISSN:

Subject:
Araneae; invertebrates; monophyly; new species; scanning electron microscopy; semiarid zones; Mexico; Southwestern United States
Abstract:
... Filistatids represent an antique lineage of araneomorph spiders which are most diverse in arid and semiarid regions of the globe. Phylogenetic relationships among its genera are still largely unexplored, and previous studies disagree on the position of the North American Filistatinella Gertsch & Ivie, 1936, which could either be the sister group of all other Prithinae, or deeply nested in the subf ...

6. Taxonomic reassessment of species within the chrysaoros group of Calisto (Lepidoptera:Nymphalidae:Satyrinae)

Subject:
Bayesian theory; barcoding; haplotypes; invertebrates; statistical analysis; taxonomy; Hispaniola
Abstract:
... The taxonomic status of the Hispaniolan species of Calisto Hübner, 1823 included in the chrysaoros group is reassessed. Morphological data and COI barcode sequences were analysed through different methods: Neighbour-Joining clustering, ABGD, Median-Joining Haplotype Network, Maximum Likelihood, and Bayesian Inference. Analyses yielded two deeply separated groups or putative species: C. clydoniata ...

Abstract:
... In his catalogue of British Museum Crustacea, Adam White listed two swimming crabs from Borneo as a new species, Amphitrite argentata, but he did not provide a description and therefore the name was a nomen nudum. Later, Alphonse Milne-Edwards described the larger of these male specimens as Neptunus argentatus and credited the species to White. Now assigned to Monomia Gistel, 1848, M. argentata wa ...

Leptomyrmex; Miocene epoch; biogeography; case studies; fossils; invertebrates; males; taxonomy; topology; Australasian region; Brazil; Dominican Republic
Abstract:
... The distinctive ant genus Leptomyrmex Mayr, 1862 had been thought to be endemic to Australasia for over 150 years, but enigmatic Neotropical fossils have challenged this view for decades. The present study responds to a recent and surprising discovery of extant Leptomyrmex species in Brazil with a thorough evaluation of the Dominican Republic fossil material, which dates to the Miocene. In the fir ...
