ABSTRACTThe butterfly genus Pseudonympha and several related genera are endemic to southern Africa. Although many of the species are montane, some inhabit the arid interior of South Africa, offering an opportunity to study the palaeobiogeography of this biome. Morphological data (for all species of Pseudonympha and allied African and Asian genera) and molecular data (WG and COI genes for nine of the 15 species of Pseudonympha and all of the southern African endemic genera of Ypthimina) were compiled. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Pseudonympha apparently originated in the Cape Fold Mountains about 15 Mya ago and spread steadily eastwards and northwards along the Great Escarpment during the aridification of the region, perhaps assisted by orogeny in the east and oceanic cooling in the west. Aridification cycles seem to have intermittently isolated some early lineages in elevated habitats in the interior, so that those lineages show lower speciation rates (or perhaps higher extinction rates) than those in the east. Four species delineation techniques indicated that some species are taxonomically oversplit. Based on genetic polyphyly and morphological similarity, we propose that the status of P. swanepoeli be reduced to that of a subspecies of P. varii, such that all the north-eastern populations from Harrismith to Tzaneen fall under P. varii swanepoeli van Son stat. n., and all the southern populations fall under P. varii varii van Son stat. n. Ultimately, the diversification of both of these lineages seems tied to their host plants’ response to aridification brought on by continental drift and orogeny. Sympatric organisms (eg cicadas) with biologies focused around different resources (eg savanna trees) show other patterns of diversification. The phylogenetic analysis of the subtribe Ypthimina also supports the monophyly of Paternympha, paraphyly of Ypthima, recognition of Thymipa Moore stat. rev. as a phylogenetic independent genus, and new relationships for Strabena.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C3B34CBC-4BC2-44F3-8349-9DBC82FFBBF3KEYWORDS: ButterfliesSouth Africaendemic radiationpalaeobiogeographyYpthimina AcknowledgementsWe thank David Edge, Niklas Wahlberg, Vincent Clarke, Etienne Terblanche and Andrew Morton for providing specimens, DNA sequences, and/or literature; Shelley Edwards for laboratory facilities; the late Mark Williams for permission to use his photographs in our figures; Terence Bellingan for access to the Albany Museum collection and the photographs in Figure 5; and the Rhodes University Research Committee for funding.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementThe genetic sequence data that support the findings of this study are openly available on GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/), with accession numbers OK668392–OK668431 (COI); OL311554–OL311597 and OM953781 (WG).Supplementary dataSupplemental data for this article can be ac
摘要蝴蝶属假名树及其相关属是非洲南部特有的植物。虽然许多物种生活在山区,但也有一些栖息在南非干旱的内陆地区,这为研究这个生物群落的古生物地理学提供了机会。对15种假名树中的9种假名树和所有非洲和亚洲特有属的WG和COI基因进行了整理。系统发育分析表明,假名树可能起源于约15亿年前的开普褶皱山脉,并在该地区干旱化过程中沿大悬崖沿东部和北部稳定地传播,这可能与东部的造山运动和西部的海洋冷却有关。干旱化循环似乎断断续续地隔离了一些位于内陆高海拔栖息地的早期谱系,因此这些谱系的物种形成率(或者可能是灭绝率)比东部的谱系低。四种划分方法表明,部分种在分类上存在过裂现象。基于遗传多聚性和形态相似性,我们建议将P. swanepoeli的地位降低为P. varii的一个亚种,从而使从Harrismith到Tzaneen的所有东北居群归入P. varii swanepoeli van Son stat. n,而所有南部居群归入P. varii van Son stat. n。这两个谱系的多样化似乎与它们的寄主植物对大陆漂移和造山运动带来的干旱化的反应有关。同域生物(如蝉)与生物集中在不同的资源(如稀树草原树木)显示出其他多样化模式。Ypthimina亚族的系统发育分析也支持了Paternympha的单系性,Ypthima的副系性,Thymipa Moore statr . rev.作为系统发育独立属的认识,以及Strabena.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C3B34CBC-4BC2-44F3-8349-9DBC82FFBBF3KEYWORDS:的新关系感谢David Edge、Niklas Wahlberg、Vincent Clarke、Etienne Terblanche和Andrew Morton提供标本、DNA序列和/或文献;雪莱·爱德华兹负责实验室设备;已故的马克·威廉姆斯(Mark Williams)获准在我们的作品中使用他的照片;特伦斯·贝林根(Terence Bellingan)允许他参观奥尔巴尼博物馆的藏品和图5中的照片;以及罗德大学研究委员会的资助。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。数据可用性声明支持本研究结果的基因序列数据可在GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/)上公开获取,登录号为OK668392-OK668431 (COI);OL311554-OL311597和OM953781 (WG)。补充数据本文的补充数据可在https://doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2023.2257373.Additional information网站上在线获取。

ABSTRACTGymnodactylus geckoides is an endemic lizard from the Caatinga domain. However, the relationship of G. geckoides with its parasites remains largely unknown. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the helminth fauna of G. geckoides in a Caatinga fragment and determine the influence of factors such as host morphology, sex, diet and seasonality on parasite load. The study was conducted at the Conservation Unit (CU) of the Catimbau National Park located in Catimbau, Pernambuco, north-eastern Brazil. In total, 83 individuals were captured, among which 43 (51.8%) were infected by the following helminths: Acanthocephala cystacanths (prevalence, 47%; mean intensity, 2 ± 3.99; mean abundance, 1.61 ± 3.25) and the nematodes Parapharyngodon alvarengai (prevalence, 15.7%; mean intensity, 1 ± 0.74; mean abundance, 0.25 ± 0.66), Physaloptera lutzi (prevalence, 2.4%; mean intensity, 4 ± 1.00; mean abundance, 0.10 ± 0.64) Physaloptera sp. (prevalence, 4.8%; mean intensity, 1 ± 0.00; mean abundance, 0.05 ± 0.24), and Spauligodon oxkutzcabiensis (prevalence, 3.6%; mean intensity, 1 ± 0.94; mean abundance, 0.06 ± 0.36). A significantly positive relationship was found between the intensity of infection by the most prevalent helminth (which belonged to Acanthocephala) and host morphology (snoutvent length) (β ± SE = 6.421 ± 1.555, z = 4.128, p < .001), as well as prey type (β ± SE = 0.256 ± 0.078, z = 3.251, p < .001). Acanthocephala infection had a higher intensity during the rainy season (Analysis of Variance1,81: p < .01) in both female and male hosts (ANOVA1,73: p = 0.21). The present study is the first to identify the ecological patterns of the host–parasite relationships of G. geckoides. The results of this study contribute to the knowledge of the parasitic fauna of lizards in the Neotropical region.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:0C037904-257A-40E1-9460-487B9FAFE786KEYWORDS: geckosAcanthocephalaNematodadietparasitic indicesseasonality AcknowledgementsThe authors thank everyone who helped during the fieldwork, as well as the funding bodies, namely the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) and the Fundação de Amparo à Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (FACEPE), for the financial support for this study.

摘要壁虎巨蜥(tgymnodactylus geckoides)是Caatinga区特有的一种蜥蜴。然而,壁虎与其寄生虫的关系在很大程度上仍然未知。因此,本研究旨在鉴定Caatinga片段中壁虎的寄生区系,并确定寄主形态、性别、饮食和季节等因素对寄生负荷的影响。这项研究是在位于巴西东北部伯南布哥州卡廷堡的卡廷堡国家公园的保护单位(CU)进行的。共捕获83只,其中43只(51.8%)被以下蠕虫感染:棘头虫(患病率47%;平均强度,2±3.99;平均丰度(1.61±3.25)和alvarengai副线虫(患病率15.7%;平均强度,1±0.74;平均丰度,0.25±0.66);平均强度,4±1.00;平均丰度为0.10±0.64);平均强度,1±0.00;平均丰度,0.05±0.24)和奥库兹卡比斯棘齿虫(患病率,3.6%;平均强度,1±0.94;平均丰度,0.06±0.36)。最流行的棘头虫感染强度与寄主形态(鼻口长度)(β±SE = 6.421±1.555,z = 4.128, p < 0.001)和猎物类型(β±SE = 0.256±0.078,z = 3.251, p < 0.001)呈显著正相关。在雨季,雌雄宿主棘头虫感染强度均较高(方差分析1,81:p < 0.01)(方差分析1,73:p = 0.21)。本研究首次确定了壁虎寄主-寄生虫关系的生态模式。本研究结果有助于认识新热带地区蜥蜴寄生动物群。http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:0C037904-257A-40E1-9460-487B9FAFE786KEYWORDS:致谢作者感谢所有在实地工作中提供帮助的人,以及资助机构,即高级农业与农业协调组织(CAPES)和南布哥农业与农业协调组织(FACEPE)为本研究提供的资金支持。我们感谢Chico Mendes de Biologia研究所(ICMBio)颁发的收集许可,授权我们为本研究收集个人。最后,我们感谢可持续发展生态方案(PELD)的协调员,他们允许我们在实地工作期间使用他们在卡廷堡地区的基地。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。道德标准所有国际、国家和机构的动物护理和使用准则都得到遵守。本研究得到了Chico Mendes生物多样性研究所(ICMBIO/SISBIO #64455-1)和伯南布哥联邦农村大学动物使用伦理委员会(CEUA/UFRPE #123/2018)的批准。slcpo和GJBM设计了这项研究。LPCO收集了现场数据。JBO进行寄生虫鉴定。LPCO进行统计分析。所有作者都解释了数据并撰写了手稿。数据存储数据和材料可在伯南布哥联邦农村大学(UFRPE)的研究实验室中获得。蜥蜴保存在伯南布哥联邦农村大学爬虫学和古爬虫学馆藏(UFRPE/LEHP,编号6169-6231),寄生虫保存在寄生虫学实验室(CPLAPAR)。本研究的资金支持由Nível Superior (CAPES)和funda o de Amparo Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (FACEPE)提供,编号分别为[0287- 2.0514 /2020-00]和1D[313142/2021-1]。我们感谢国家环境保护协会Científico e Tecnológico-CNPq向g.j.b.

A significantly positive relationship was found between the intensity of infection by the most prevalent helminth (which belonged to Acanthocephala) and host morphology (snoutvent length) (β ± SE = 6.421 ± 1.555, z = 4.128, p < .001), as well as prey type (β ± SE = 0.256 ± 0.078, z = 3.251, p < .001). Acanthocephala infection had a higher intensity during the rainy season (Analysis of Variance1,81: p < .01) in both female and male hosts (ANOVA1,73: p = 0.21). The present study is the first to identify the ecological patterns of the host–parasite relationships of G. geckoides. The results of this study contribute to the knowledge of the parasitic fauna of lizards in the Neotropical region.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:0C037904-257A-40E1-9460-487B9FAFE786KEYWORDS: geckosAcanthocephalaNematodadietparasitic indicesseasonality AcknowledgementsThe authors thank everyone who helped during the fieldwork, as well as the funding bodies, namely the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) and the Fundação de Amparo à Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (FACEPE), for the financial support for this study.

ABSTRACTA recent examination of type specimens and unidentified Indian cuckoo wasps deposited at the Natural History Museum (London) and at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History led to the discovery of: two new Indian species, Chrysis parviocula sp. n. (amneris species group) and Elampus bicolor sp. n.; a new synonymy, Chrysis quaerita Nurse, 1902 syn. n. of Chrysis dissimilis Dahlbom, 1854; an unnecessary replacement name, Hedychridium mocsaryi Rosa, 2021 for Hedychridium virescens (Mocsáry, 1914); and a misidentification of Chrysis obscura Smith, 1860 which is now excluded from the Indian fauna. Chrysis perfecta Cameron, 1897 is transferred to the viridissima group. New distributional records are given for Chrysis arkadyi Rosa et al. 2021, Chrysis bayadera du Buysson, 1896, Chrysis musa Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1954 and Praestochrysis palawanensis (Mocsáry, 1899). Eighteen types of Indian and Oriental species are illustrated for the first time. Types of six Oriental and Australian species described by Cameron, Smith, and Gray are illustrated and their status and depositories discussed. A lectotype is designated for Chrysis festina Smith, 1874. Type material of Stilbum princeps (Gray, 1832) is rediscovered 190 years after its description.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:FE496B54-40BB-4049-BA71-058BEE5553AEKEYWORDS: ChrysidinaeElampinitaxonomynew synonymy AcknowledgementsI thank the Royal Entomological Society for supporting my research at the Natural History Museum of London and the Museum of Natural History of Oxford; Andrew Polaszek (NHMUK) for his logistical support and for his continuous help during my research; Gavin Broad (NHMUK) for the permission to enter the collection, study, and photograph type specimens; Joseph Monks (NHMUK) for the technical support in collections and for taking pictures when needed; James Hogan (OUMUK) for his help looking for types and other material in the collections and for taking pictures of types for my publications.

ABSTRACTBalleriolus, a new genus of Ceratocanthinae similar to Ivieolus Howden and Gill, 1998, is described and illustrated to include Balleriolus howdeni sp. n. from central Brazil and Balleriolus alleni sp. n. from Ucayali, Peru. It is proposed here that the tribe Ivieolini Howden and Gill, 2000 is a junior synonym of Scarabatermitini Nikolajev, 1999. Additionally, we define the Ivieolus genus group to include Balleriolus gen. n. and Ivieolus.

ABSTRACTOdonates are useful biological indicators of environmental health because of their pollution-free habitat requirements and amphibiotic life cycle. Due to habitat destruction by industrial development, there is a need to name these odonates and obtain their genetic data to be used in understanding their evolutionary history for biodiversity conservation. Aciagrion is a poorly known and taxonomically difficult genus of oriental damselflies. Species of this genus cannot be distinguished on the basis of morphological characters alone as they are morphologically similar to the damselflies of other genera (Ischnura and Amphiallagma) and may also be referred to as cryptic species. Here, therefore, molecular studies are carried out to distinguish the species of this genus. The phylogenetic relationships of five species of genus Aciagrion have been explored using molecular (based on concatenated sequences of mitochondrial genes- COI, ND1 and 16S rRNA genes) as well as external morphological characters. Single-linkage cluster analysis of morphological data sets did not explain the relationships appropriately among the species of this genus as outgroup species were also retrieved within ingroup species. Interspecific genetic divergence, conserved, variable, parsimony-informative sites, nucleotide base composition and transition/transversion bias based on concatenated gene sequences have been calculated for these species. It is found that a multigene concatenation approach interprets phylogeny more appropriately than the morphological data alone. Presently, a COI gene fragment sequence for one species (the endemic Aciagrion hisopa), 16S rRNA gene fragments for four species and ND1 gene fragments for five species have been submitted for the first time to GenBank, and phylogenetic relationships based on three genes have also been determined for the first time. Aciagrion migratum is a new record from India.KEYWORDS: Zygopteragene amplificationconcatenated genesevolutionary divergencephylogeny AcknowledgementsWe acknowledge the technical support of the Department of Zoology and Environment Sciences and the Sophisticated Instruments Centre, Punjabi University, Patiala.Disclosure statementThere is no potential conflict of interest.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by CSIR, NEW DELHI [grant 37(1716)/18/EMR-II] to Gagandeep Kaur Dhillon (SRF) in the CSIR Project entitled ‘DNA Barcoding of Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata: Insecta) based on Mitochondrial COI Gene’ under the supervision of Dr Gurinder Kaur Walia (Principal Investigator), Department of Zoology and Environmental Sciences, Punjabi University, Patiala.
