Abstract: A collection of spiders from Kenya, assembled by Prof. Volker Mahnert and deposited in the Natural History Museum of Geneva, contains 16 identifiable linyphiid species. Among of them a new genus and two new species were revealed: Afrotrichona gen. nov., with Afrotrichona mahnerti sp. nov. as the type species, and Agyneta spinifera sp. nov. Males of Pelecopsis subflava Russell-Smith & Jocqué, 1986, Lepthyphantes (s. str.) buensis Bosmans & Jocqué, 1983, and Machadocara gongylioides Miller, 1970 are illustrated and briefly redescribed. The latter two species, together with Agyneta habra (Locket, 1968), Metalepthyphantes vicinus Locket, 1968, Microctenonyx subitaneus (O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1875) and P. pasteuri (Berland in Fage & Simon, 1936), are reported for the Kenyan fauna for the first time. In addition, A. spinifera sp. nov. is also reported from Tanzania.

Abstract: A new genus, Karakumosa gen. nov., is established to accommodate nine central Asian species of burrowing wolf spiders, of which seven are diagnosed and described as new: K. badkhyzica sp. nov. (♂♀, southern Turkmenistan), K. gromovi sp. nov. (♂♀, southern Uzbekistan), K. repetek sp. nov. (♂♀, eastern Turkmenistan), K. shmatkoi sp. nov. (♂♀, northern Ciscaspian region and Azerbaijan), K. tashkumyr sp. nov. (♂, Kyrgyzstan), K. turanica sp. nov. (♂♀, Turkmenistan), K. zyuzini sp. nov. (♂♀, Uzbekistan). Two generic transfers are proposed: Karakumosa alticeps (Kroneberg, 1875), comb. nov. and K. medica (Pocock, 1889), comb. nov. (both ex Hogna Simon, 1885). Lectotypes are designated for Tarentula alticeps Kroneberg, 1875 (♂) and T. medica Pocock, 1889 (♂). The localities of all Karakumosa species are mapped, and an identification key is provided as well. A short overview of the fauna and diversity of the fossorial Lycosidae of Central Asia is given.

Abstract: A commented checklist of the nematodes parasites of Argentinean wild birds is presented. This is the first compilation of parasitological papers about nematodes of Argentinean birds published between 1873 and November 2019. This review includes information about 64 nematode nominal species and 13 taxa identified at generic level, belonging to five orders, 16 superfamilies, 20 families, and 44 genera. Five species were considered incertae sedis, because they were described based only on larval stages, and one species was maintained as species inquirenda. The highest number of taxa of nematodes was recorded in the family Acuariidae with 20 nominal species and two taxa identified at generic level, followed by Anisakidae with eight nominal species and one taxon identified at generic level, and Tetrameridae with eight nominal species and two taxa identified at generic level. Of the 1042 species of birds reported in Argentina, only 65 (6.24%) were reported as hosts of adult nematodes. The families of birds with the highest number of reported taxa were Tinamidae (12 nematode taxa), Laridae (11), Anatidae (8) and Phalacrocoracidae (7). The present review provides data on hosts, geographical distribution, sites of infection, location of material deposited in Helminthological Collections, references, and taxonomic comments. A host/parasite list is also provided.

Abstract: This work presents a revision of Cyphochilus species characterized by smooth elytra and mesocoxae separated by armed mesosternum. The type material was examined and compared to more than 500 specimens from historical collections as well as recently collected ones. Lectotypes are designated for Melolontha candida Olivier, 1789, Cyphochilus cylindricus Brenske, 1903, C. flavomarginatus Frey, 1971, C. peninsularis Arrow, 1938, C. pygidialis Nonfried, 1893, C. pygidialis v. angeri Nonfried, 1893, C. septentrionalis Waterhouse, 1867, C. testaceipes Fairmaire, 1902, C. tricolor Waterhouse, 1867, and C. vestitus Sharp, 1876. Cyphochilus septentrionalis is resurrected from synonymy (name rest.) and the following synonymies are established: C. pygidialis Nonfried, 1893 = C. septentrionalis syn. nov., C. cylindricus = C. proximus Sharp, 1876 syn. nov., C. vestitus = C. tricolor syn. nov.

Abstract: Syrioiulus lohmanderi sp. nov. is described from material collected in Gilan Province, northwestern Iran. The new species is morphologically most similar to S. astrabadensis (Lohmander, 1932a) and S. persicus (Golovatch, 1983), also known only from the northern parts of Iran. A key to the species of Syrioiulus Verhoeff, 1914 recorded from this country is compiled, and a checklist of all species presently assigned to the genus is given. Syrioiulus adsharicus (Lohmander, 1936) and S. cappadocius (Lohmander, 1939) are transferred from Amblyiulus Silvestri, 1896. The taxonomic problems within Syrioiulus and related genera are briefly discussed.

Abstract: We describe for the first time the male of Lepidotrigona nitidiventris (Smith, 1857), emphasizing the structure of the male genital capsule and metasomal sterna four through seven. Our identification of the male as L. nitidiventris is based on our examination of the worker holotype (type locality Mt. Ophir, Peninsular Malaysia) which we found to match workers from the same nest as males found in western Thailand. The species belongs to the L. nitidiventris species group, comprising L. latipes (Friese), L. palavanica (Cockerell), L. trochanterica (Cockerell), with L. nitidiventris as the type species of the genus. No males of these species were previously known. We examined the holotype workers of the three other species and confirm all four as clearly different species. We propose, however, that the obviously smaller L. palavanica should not be included in the large-sized group of Lepidotrigona.

We propose, however, that the obviously smaller L. palavanica should not be included in the large-sized group of Lepidotrigona.","PeriodicalId":54455,"journal":{"name":"Revue Suisse de Zoologie","volume":"127 1","pages":"119 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44843449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
