ABSTRACT We report the discovery of a new singleton species of Oreobates Jiménez de la Espada, 1872, from the Yungas forest of the Amazonian versant of the Andes in Bolivia, infer its phylogenetic position, revisit the phylogenetic relationships of Oreobates, and discuss the conditions that justify description of the species with a single specimen. The new species, Oreobates yanucu, differs from all other Oreobates in a combination of external conditions: granular dorsal skin with scattered warts, finger I longer than finger II, finger tips of fingers III and IV distinctly enlarged and truncate in outline, tips of toes II to V with ungual flaps, head longer than wide, basal webbing between toes I and II and toes II and III, foot length/snout—vent length = 50%, lack of orange, red, or scarlet flecks and blotches in life. Although similar in appearance to O. amarakaeri Padial et al., 2012, O. choristolemma (Harvey and Sheehy, 2005), O. granulosus (Boulenger, 1902), O. sanctaecrucis (Harvey and Keck, 1995), and O. sanderi (Padial et al., 2005)—all of them species from the Yungas of Bolivia and southern Peru conforming a monophyletic group—the new species is nested within a clade, revealed by molecular phylogeny, in which all species share the condition of enlarged finger discs and is sister to O. berdemenos Pereyra et al., 2014, an allopatric species from the Yungas of Argentina. The new species is only known from a single specimen collected in 1999 at 1500 m above sea level within Carrasco National Park (Provincia Chapare, Departamento Cochabamba, Bolivia). Oreobates now includes 24 described species but seven other new species remain to be named formally and we expect the diversity of this group to increase considerably with the exploration of the Andean foothills of Bolivia and Peru.
摘要:本文报道了在玻利维亚安第斯山脉亚马逊流域的Yungas森林中发现的一种新的单种Oreobates jimnez de la Espada, 1872年，推断其系统发育位置，重新审视了Oreobates的系统发育关系，并讨论了证明单一标本描述该物种的条件。新物种,Oreobates yanucu,不同于所有其他Oreobates外部条件的组合:颗粒与分散疣背侧皮肤,我的时间比手指II, III和IV手指的指尖明显扩大和截断轮廓,脚趾尖二世与爪的襟翼V,长于宽,基底织物之间的第二和第三脚趾I和II和脚趾,脚长度/ snout-vent = 50%,缺乏橙色,红色,或红色斑点,斑点。尽管在外观上与O. amarakaeri Padial等人(2012)、O. choristolemma (Harvey and Sheehy, 2005)、O. granulosus (Boulenger, 1902)、O. sanctaecrucis (Harvey and Keck, 1995)和O. sanderi (Padial等人，2005)相似——所有这些物种都来自玻利维亚和秘鲁南部的Yungas，属于单系类群——但新物种是在一个进化枝中嵌套的，这是由分子系统发育揭示的。其中所有物种都有扩大的指盘，是O. berdemenos Pereyra等人(2014)的姐妹，后者是来自阿根廷Yungas的异乡物种。新物种仅从1999年在卡拉斯科国家公园(玻利维亚科恰班巴省查帕雷省)海拔1500米采集的单一标本中得知。Oreobates现在包括24个已被描述的物种，但还有7个新物种尚未正式命名，我们预计随着对玻利维亚和秘鲁安第斯山麓的探索，这一群体的多样性将大大增加。

ABSTRACT New specimens from the Eocene of Nigeria yielded one new genus and species, Amekicarcinus enigmaticus, and the new species Glyphithyreus bendensis. Indeterminate remains of an axiid decapod were also collected from the same deposit. Nigerian decapod occurrences in general display a Tethyan or Paratethyan distribution in the Eocene, whereas Cretaceous occurrences include Atlantic distributions in addition. Many Nigerian decapod genera cross the K/Pg boundary in the Atlantic, proximal to the Chicxulub impact area.

ABSTRACT Phyllophaga delphinicauda, new species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae), is described from the eastern Sierra de Bahoruco in the Dominican Republic. Supportive taxonomic and biogeographic information is presented in a discussion of the new species' apparent relationship to Phyllophaga davidsoni Woodruff, 2004, and Phyllophaga carnegie Woodruff, 2004. The potential geographic and temporal distributions of P. delphinicauda are examined and its status as a species of conservation concern is discussed. A modification to the existing key to the Phyllophaga of Hispaniola (Woodruff 2004) is presented to accommodate this new species.

ABSTRACT A new genus and species of a large ghost moth (Lepidoptera, Exoporia, Hepialidae) is described from south—central Peru based on a single pair of adults, male and female. Viridigigas ciseskii, new genus, new species, is recorded from two locations along the eastern versant of the Amazonian Andes. Its phylogenetic position within the Hepialidae is currently inconclusive with some features suggestive of affinity with two other genera, Puermytrans Viette, 1951 (Chile), and Phassodes Bethune-Baker, 1905 (Fiji). The forewing pattern is distinct from all other Hepialidae, consisting of green with numerous sub-circular dark brown to yellowish—brown spots of irregular shape enclosed by up to three concentric dark brown lines. In the male a prominent scent gland is present at the base of the fore wing and the metatibia support well-developed, elongate androconia.

ABSTRACT Palmichnium kosinskiorum Briggs and Rolfe, 1983, is a fossil trackway recovered from sandstones of the purported marine Shenango Formation along the banks of Spring Creek, in Elk County, Pennsylvania. Discovered in 1948, the type specimen is interpreted as a trail made by a lower Mississippian eurypterid. Recent field work has disclosed that the trackway of P. kosinskiorum was recovered from an allocthonous block of pebbly sandstone inconsistent with the character of the surrounding Shenango Formation. The P. kosinskiorum block is one of more than a dozen out-of-place giant boulders that train up the valley wall. These boulders can be traced back to an outcrop of the Pennsylvanian Pottsville Group located several hundred feet up the side of the Spring Creek Valley. Thus, it can be demonstrated that P. kosinskiorum originated from lower Pennsylvanian, not lower Mississippian bedrock. Palmichnium kosinskiorum was recovered from the top of a trough cross-bedded conglomeratic sequence, indicating that it was deposited in a high-energy fluvial environment of the Olean Conglomerate, a formation of the Pottsville Group. This purported depositional environment is consistent with other Upper Carboniferous eurypterid discoveries.

ABSTRACT We describe adult specimens and tadpoles of a new species of Telmatobius Wiegmann, 1834, Telmatobius mantaro, from the central Cordillera of the Andes in Peru. Specimens were collected in humid lower montane forests and dry lower montane forests between 2240–3170 m elevation at the northern parts of the Departments of Huancavelica and Ayacucho. We also report a range extension of 262 km west of the type locality for Telmatobius mendelsoni De la Riva et al., 2012, which was found in sympatry with T. mantaro in Ayacucho. The new species has a snout-vent length of 48.9–55.8 mm in three adult males, and both sexes have tympanic membrane differentiated and tympanic annulus visible, a feature that distinguishes the new species from the majority of other Peruvian Telmatobius. We propose to assign the IUCN category Critically Endangered to this species because of its small area of distribution and its high likelihood of being infected by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.

ABSTRACT Small mammal ecology and natural history are poorly known in Nuclear Central America. In an effort to gain information on small mammals (insectivorans, marsupials, and rodents), we sampled three cloud forest habitats in mountain ranges in Honduras (Cerro Celaque and Sierra de Agalta) and Guatemala (Sierra de las Minas). Small mammals were collected using removal trapping. A total of 789 specimens representing 23 species of small mammal was recorded from seven trapping sites. Trapping effort varied among sites, with a total of 18,117 total trap nights recorded. We describe the habitat at each trapping site, and report on species diversity, relative abundance, sex ratios, reproductive activity, and other natural history information on the mammals collected. In general, cloud forests in the three mountain ranges contained different communities of small mammals. We recorded only three species, Heteromys desmarestianus Gray, 1862, Peromyscus oaxacensis Merriam, 1898, and Scotinomys teguina (Alston, 1877), on all three mountain ranges.

ABSTRACT Thirty-five species of fleas are documented from the state of West Virginia including new state records for the ischnopsyllid, Nycteridopsylla chapini Jordan, 1929, and the ctenophthalmid, Corrodopsylla curvata (Rothschild, 1915). Host and distribution records are presented by county, with many new records, including 88 new county records amassed since 1980. The most widely distributed fleas were Orchopeas leucopus (Baker, 1904) and Peromyscopsylla hesperomys hesperomys (Baker, 1904), both from mice of the genus Peromyscus. Ctenophthalmus pseudagyrtes (Baker, 1904) was abundant on shrews, voles, and mice. The squirrel flea, Orchopeas howardi (Baker, 1895), found in 12 counties from west to east in the state is probably present throughout the state. This species has been implicated in the maintenance and spread of sporadic epidemic typhus. The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché, 1835), a parasite primarily of domestic cats and dogs, was not well represented in our collections, but is widespread geographically and probably occurs throughout the state. This is the most economically important species in West Virginia as a household pest and carrier of several zoonotic human pathogens.

ABSTRACT The flea genus Rectidigitus Holland, 1969, endemic to Papua New Guinea and Papua Province, Indonesia is reviewed as a continuation of the study of fleas in the Robert Traub flea collection deposited in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This paper (Part IV) is an extension of previous studies by Hastriter (2012), Hastriter and Easton (2013, Part I, Striopsylla), Hastriter (2014, Part II, Nestivalius, Orthopsylloides, and Parastivalius), and Hastriter (2015, Part III, Traubia). Rectidigitus currently contains four valid species (Mardon 1981): R. ancisus (Jordan, 1937), R. spooneri (M. Rothschild, 1934), R. szentivanyi Holland, 1969, and R. traubi Holland, 1969. The male of R. ancisus is described for the first time and the previously known distribution of this species is expanded from Morobe Province to Southern Highlands and Western Highlands Provinces. An additional four new species of Rectidigitus are described herein (R. angularis, R. claviculatus, R. dittmarae, and R. glomerospinosus). With the description of these four new species, the total number of described species in the superfamily Pygiopsylloidea in Papua Province, (Indonesia), Papua New Guinea (including Bismarck Archipelago), and the Solomon Islands is 105. An additional eight species belonging to three other flea families (Ischnopsyllidae (3), Pulicidae (3), and Leptopsyllidae (2)) bring the total number of flea taxa to 113 species (including subspecies). A key to the species of Rectidigitus is provided.
摘要对印度尼西亚巴布亚新几内亚和巴布亚省1969年特有的荷兰直趾蚤属进行了研究，作为宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡卡内基自然历史博物馆Robert Traub蚤类收藏跳蚤研究的延续。本文(第四部分)是对Hastriter(2012)、Hastriter和Easton (2013, Part I, Striopsylla)、Hastriter (2014, Part II, neestivalius, Orthopsylloides, and Parastivalius)和Hastriter (2015, Part III, Traubia)前人研究的延伸。直趾虫目前包含4个有效物种(Mardon 1981): R. ancisus (Jordan, 1937)、R. spooneri (M. Rothschild, 1934)、R. szentivanyi Holland, 1969和R. traubi Holland, 1969。首次描述了该种的雄性，并将其已知的分布范围从Morobe省扩展到南部高地和西部高地省。本文介绍了另外4个直指属新种(R. angularis, R. claviculatus, R. dittmarae和R. glomerospinosus)。加上这4个新种的描述，在巴布亚省、(印度尼西亚)、巴布亚新几内亚(包括俾斯麦群岛)和所罗门群岛被描述的Pygiopsylloidea超科的物种总数为105种。蚤科(3科)、蚤科(3科)、蚤科(2科)共8种，蚤类总数达113种(含亚种)。提供了直指属植物的种类分类表。

This paper (Part IV) is an extension of previous studies by Hastriter (2012), Hastriter and Easton (2013, Part I, Striopsylla), Hastriter (2014, Part II, Nestivalius, Orthopsylloides, and Parastivalius), and Hastriter (2015, Part III, Traubia). Rectidigitus currently contains four valid species (Mardon 1981): R. ancisus (Jordan, 1937), R. spooneri (M. Rothschild, 1934), R. szentivanyi Holland, 1969, and R. traubi Holland, 1969. The male of R. ancisus is described for the first time and the previously known distribution of this species is expanded from Morobe Province to Southern Highlands and Western Highlands Provinces. An additional four new species of Rectidigitus are described herein (R. angularis, R. claviculatus, R. dittmarae, and R. glomerospinosus). With the description of these four new species, the total number of described species in the superfamily Pygiopsylloidea in Papua Province, (Indonesia), Papua New Guinea (including Bismarck Archipelago), and the Solomon Islands is 105. An additional eight species belonging to three other flea families (Ischnopsyllidae (3), Pulicidae (3), and Leptopsyllidae (2)) bring the total number of flea taxa to 113 species (including subspecies). A key to the species of Rectidigitus is provided.","PeriodicalId":50771,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Carnegie Museum","volume":"31 3 1","pages":"311 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2016-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90083224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
ABSTRACT The Lower Permian Dunkard Group has yielded a sparse record of tetrapod footprints that are assigned to the ichnogenera Dimetropus Romer and Price, 1940, Dromopus Marsh, 1894, and Limnopus Marsh, 1894. We report two new occurrences of Dimetropus that significantly extend its stratigraphic range in the Dunkard Group to the Washington and Greene formations. The only previous Dunkard record of Dimetropus is of D. berea (Tilton, 1931), the type ichnospecies of the ichnogenus, from the Waynesburg Formation of West Virginia. Dimetropus (eupelycosaur), Dromopus (araeoscelid), and Limnopus (large temnospondyl) footprints are present in many Late Pennsylvanian-Early Permian footprint assemblages. The Dunkard footprints of Dimetropus reported here are very large for the ichnogenus, so it seems likely they were made by one of the relatively large eupelycosaurs, Dimetrodon Cope, 1877, Ophiacodon Marsh, 1878, or Ctenospondylus Romer, 1936, known from Dunkard Group body fossils.
