The Ilyarachninae are a diverse and widely distributed subfamily of the asellote family Munnopsidae. This paper describes nine new deep-sea species from two Ilyarachninae genera, Ilyarachna and Notoapais, from the southwestern Pacific, namely from New Zealand and the east coast of Australia. Ilyarachna aculeatus n. sp., Ilyarachna brucei n. sp., Ilyarachna franki n. sp., Ilyarachna mclayi n. sp., Ilyarachna pacifica n. sp., Ilyarachna sami n. sp., Ilyarachna taranui n. sp. and Notopais chathamensis n. sp. are described from New Zealand waters, while Notopais likros n. sp. is described from off the east coast of Australia. Additionally, a redescription of Notopais spinosa from the Balleny Islands, Antarctica, and a revised key to the Ilyarachna and Notopais species from the southwest Pacific are included, and the distribution, affinities, and diagnostic characters of the new species are discussed.

The genus Trogolaphysa comprises 81 described species distributed across the Neotropical and Afrotropical regions. In the Americas, just over half of the species found in subterranean habitats have a reduced eye number (0–5 eyes). Subterranean species are of interest as models to study the evolution of morphological adaptations. Many subterranean species of Trogolaphysa were described before the introduction of chaetotaxy as a diagnostic tool and thus remain incompletely described and diagnosed. To identify gaps in descriptions and facilitate the identification of newly collected forms, we provide standardized summary descriptions, species diagnoses, diagnostic tables, and a dichotomous key to the 33 Neotropical species of Trogolaphysa with reduced eye number. As a result of this synthesis, we describe two new troglobiontic species, Trogolaphysa reneaui n. sp. and Trogolaphysa welchi n. sp. from Belizean caves.
Trogolaphysa 属包括 81 个已描述的物种,分布于新热带和非洲热带地区。在美洲,发现于地下栖息地的物种中,有一半以上眼数较少(0-5 只眼)。地下物种是研究形态适应进化的有趣模型。Trogolaphysa 的许多地下物种是在引入混沌定位系统作为诊断工具之前描述的,因此描述和诊断仍然不完整。为了找出描述中的空白并便于鉴定新采集到的物种,我们提供了眼数减少的 33 个新热带 Trogolaphysa 物种的标准化摘要描述、物种诊断、诊断表和二分法检索表。通过这次综合研究,我们描述了伯利兹洞穴中发现的两个蛙类新物种:Trogolaphysa reneaui n. sp.和 Trogolaphysa welchi n. sp.。

The freshwater Pannus genus comprises cyanobacterial unicellular species with a particular morphology, forming free-floating rounded colonies with thin, homogenous, and colorless colonial mucilage. There is little literature on the taxonomy of the Pannus and none on its metabolism. This study presents the first genomic characterization of a Pannus strain isolated from Pantanal Biome, Brazil. The genome was assembled into 117 contigs with a total size of 5.1 Mb and 99.12% completeness. It contained 4988 protein-encoding genes, including some involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis, such as cyanobactin and terpenes. Interestingly, P. brasiliensis CCIBt3594 has a complete set of nitrogen fixation genes and is a non-heterocytou unicellular cyanobacterium. Finally, the phylogenomic analyses revealed the lack of information on closely related strains and anchored the genus Pannus within the order Chroococcales, Microcystaceae family, closest to Microcystis spp. representatives. This work presents novel evidence concerning a sparsely characterized genus of the Cyanobacteria phylum and contributes to elucidating taxonomic and systematic issues within the group of unicellular cyanobacteria.

Anadenanthera colubrina (Acol) and Anadenanthera peregrina (Aper) (Fabaceae) are two species popularly known as “angicos” that occur in seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTR) remnants in Brazil. Since many of the morphological characteristics of Anadenanthera species are superimposed and species-specific characteristics are difficult to observe, their identification is complex. Therefore, in this research, a set of ISSR (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat Polymorphic DNA) molecular markers was standardized, aiming to characterize A. colubrina and A. peregrina species and study the genetic diversity of three populations of each species located within a fragmented landscape in São Paulo State, southeastern Brazil. Seven ISSR markers (UBC 2, 820, 851, 858, 864, 866, and 886) that show polymorphism for both species were used. The Bayesian cluster, PCoA and dendrogram analysis show that the total sample divides into two groups corresponding to each species. Also, a genetic divergence (Gst = 0.143) and a high number of migrants per generation (Nm = 3.0) were detected between them. The Acol populations showed significantly higher values for mean genetic diversity (h = 0.30) than Aper (h = 0.25) (p < 0.05). The ISSR marker UBC2250bp showed species-specific electrophoretic fingerprints for both species. The molecular tools generated herein support the conservation of Anadenanthera sp. and the restoration of vegetation where the species naturally occurs.

This study explores the Swedish diversity of the thrips families Aeolothripidae and Melanthripidae. Currently, a total of 12 species in 2 genera of Aeolothripidae occur in Sweden, and 1 in Melanthripidae. The aims of this study include to provide an updated identification key with photographic material and an updated checklist of the country with provincial records. In this study both museum material and new material collected in understudied provinces are included, and a large number of molecular barcodes are produced. The results reveal 26 new provincial records in Sweden, predominantly in northern regions, and 11 provinces in total had new species records. New records of Rhipidothrips brunneus Williams 1913 warranted an examination of distinguishing characters compared to R. niveipennis Reuter, 1899. The original description of R. niveipennis is found to lack sufficient characters to delimit the species, and a redescription based on syntypes is presented.
本研究探讨了瑞典蓟马科 Aeolothripidae 和 Melanthripidae 的多样性。目前,瑞典共有蓟马科 2 属 12 个种和蓟马属 1 个种。本研究的目的包括提供附有照片资料的最新识别钥匙,以及附有各省记录的瑞典最新核对表。在这项研究中,既包括博物馆材料,也包括在研究不足的省份采集的新材料,并生成了大量的分子条形码。研究结果显示,瑞典有 26 项省级新记录,主要分布在北部地区,共有 11 个省有新物种记录。Rhipidothrips brunneus Williams 1913 年的新记录需要与 R. niveipennis Reuter, 1899 年的记录进行比较。发现对 R. niveipennis 的原始描述缺乏足够的特征来划分该种,因此提出了基于异型的重新描述。

The long-horn bee genus Tetralonia consists of 35 Western Palaearctic species that are associated mostly with the family Asteraceae as host plants. A minority of the species are, however, exclusively associated with other host plants that have particularly large pollen grains, such as those in the plant families Caprifoliaceae, Malvaceae, and Onagraceae. This work presents a taxonomic account and morphological description of the assemblages of Tetralonia species with atypical (non-Asteraceae) host plants. It includes a key to the pollinosa-group, which contains most of the species, a description of three regionally restricted new species, namely T. eoacinctella Dorchin sp. nov., T. epilobii Dorchin sp. nov., and T. stellipilis Dorchin sp. nov., a lectotype designation for Eucera cinctella Saunders, 1908 [=Tetralonia cinctella (Saunders, 1908)], and a neotype designation for Apis malvae Rossi, 1790 [=Tetralonia malvae (Rossi, 1790)]. In addition, the name Eucera macroglossa Illiger, 1806 is confirmed as a synonym of Apis malvae Rossi, 1790; Tetralonia macroglossa ssp. xanthopyga Alfken, 1936 is officially placed in synonymy with Apis malvae Rossi, 1790; and Macrocera confusa Pérez, 1902 is listed as a doubtful synonym of Tetralonia scabiosae Mocsàry, 1879 (syn. nov.).

Sideritis royoi is found in the rocky limestone habitats of the Port Massif (southern Catalonia, Spain). The species was first collected by the local botanist Lluís de Torres in the late part of the 20th century, but the specimens have remained unidentified positively in herbaria for over 40 years. Sideritis royoi likely belongs to section Sideritis subsection Hyssopifoliae and shows some morphological affinities with the relatively widespread South European species S. hyssopifolia L., but it differs from this species because it has subspinescent upper leaves, the main surfaces of its leaves are glabrous or glabrescent, the main abaxial surface of its bracts is without eglandular hairs, and due to the fact that it has shorter inflorescences. Weaker similarities have also been observed with some species belonging to S. subsection Fruticulosae Obón & D.Rivera. In this paper, a description for the new orophilous species is provided, along with a detailed illustration, field photographs, and a comparison with closely related species. We include an assessment of its conservation status and a dichotomous key for the identification of all the species of Sideritis subsection Hyssopifoliae.
Sideritis royoi 生长在港口丘陵(西班牙加泰罗尼亚南部)的石灰岩栖息地。当地植物学家路易斯-德-托雷斯(Lluís de Torres)于 20 世纪晚期首次采集到该物种,但 40 多年来标本一直未在标本馆得到正面鉴定。Sideritis royoi 可能属于 Sideritis 亚科 Hyssopifoliae,在形态上与南欧分布较广的物种 S. hyssopifolia L. 有一定的亲缘关系,但它与该物种的不同之处在于:它的上部叶片有近鞭毛,叶片的主要表面无毛或脱落无毛,苞片的主要背面没有无腺毛,而且它的花序较短。与属于 S. subsection Fruticulosae Obón & D.Rivera 的一些物种的相似性也较弱。本文对这一新的口交种进行了描述,并附有详细的插图、田间照片以及与近缘种的比较。我们还对该物种的保护状况进行了评估,并提供了用于鉴定 Sideritis 亚科 Hyssopifoliae 所有物种的二分检索表。

The species was first collected by the local botanist Lluís de Torres in the late part of the 20th century, but the specimens have remained unidentified positively in herbaria for over 40 years. Sideritis royoi likely belongs to section Sideritis subsection Hyssopifoliae and shows some morphological affinities with the relatively widespread South European species S. hyssopifolia L., but it differs from this species because it has subspinescent upper leaves, the main surfaces of its leaves are glabrous or glabrescent, the main abaxial surface of its bracts is without eglandular hairs, and due to the fact that it has shorter inflorescences. Weaker similarities have also been observed with some species belonging to S. subsection Fruticulosae Obón & D.Rivera.

The Nearctic family Hahniidae is seldom found in South America; only 20 species occur on the continent. Herein, we present the first record of the family in mainland Ecuador, with the description of thirteen new species in five different genera. In Amaloxenops: A. minimalista n. sp. (female); in Kasha n. gen.: Kasha patpa n. sp. (male, female); in Neohahnia: Neohahnia catleyi (female) n. sp., N. piemontana n. sp. (male, female), N. pristirana n. sp. (male, female), N. freibergi n. sp. (male, female), N. paramo n. sp. (male, female), and N. chalupas n. sp. (male); in Paramito n. gen.: Paramito papallacta n. sp. and P. oyacachi n. sp.; and in Pristirana n. gen.: Pristirana barthlotti n. sp. (male, female), P. niederi n. sp. (female), and P. nowickii n. sp. (male, female). Distribution maps are presented for all species, as well as a key to the South American Hahniidae genera.
