The synonymization of three nominal chameleonid species-group taxa with Trioceros ituriensis (Schmidt, 1919) is critically discussed by comparing original texts and figures with the respective type specimens. The first case seems clear since homonymy is involved but in the other two cases, despite recent allocations, the identity of the two nominal species is not unambiguously clear. Morphological differences cast some doubt on the currently accepted synonymy. One diagnostic character of T. ituriensis, the hornlessness and smaller size of the males as compared to the females is discussed in respect to other chameleons with a respective sexual dimorphism in contrast to their closest relatives.

A new plexippine jumping spider species, Colopsus peppara sp. nov., is described from males and females collected in the Agasthyamalai Biosphere Reserve, in the southern part of the Western Ghats of India. The systematic history of the genus Colopsus is presented and its localities in India are mapped as well.

The genus Hypenopsis Dyar, 1913 (type species: Hypenodes macula Druce, 1891) is removed from synonymy with Schrankia Hübner, 1825 (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Hypenodinae) and reinstated as valid. Hypenopsis and its type species H. macula (Druce, 1891) are both redescribed based on the first morphological study of the genitalia of its two syntypes, and a lectotype is designated. Three new species are described based on morphology and supported by COI sequence data: H. calusa J.-F. Landry & B. Landry, sp. nov., H. sonora J.-F. Landry & B. Landry, sp. nov., two North American species long misidentified as ‘Schrankia’ macula, and H. galapagensis B. Landry & J.-F. Landry, sp. nov. from the Galápagos Islands. DNA barcodes support the separation of Hypenopsis from Schrankia in congruence with morphology. Two other species from Panama described in Hypenopsis (H. flualis Schaus, 1916 and H. musalis Schaus, 1916), and later included in Schrankia are illustrated for the first time: the genitalia of their holotypes show that they do not share diagnostic characters of either Schrankia or Hypenopsis, and their COI barcode sequences are distinct from either genus as well as other Hypenodinae genera; they are here regarded as Hypenodinae incertae sedis.
将Hypenopsis Dyar属，1913(模式种:hypendes macula Druce, 1891)从Schrankia h bner, 1825(鳞翅目，Erebidae, Hypenopsis dinae)的同义词中删除并恢复为有效属。基于对其两个分型的生殖器官的首次形态学研究，对Hypenopsis及其分型H. macula (Druce, 1891)进行了重新描述，并指定了一个选型。基于形态学和COI序列数据，描述了3个新种:H. calusa J.-F。Landry & B. Landry, sp. nov.， H. sonora j.f。Landry & B. Landry, sp. nov.，两个长期被误认为是“Schrankia”macula的北美物种，和H. galapagensis B. Landry & J.-F。兰德里，11月来自Galápagos群岛。DNA条形码支持与形态学一致的Hypenopsis和Schrankia的分离。在Hypenopsis中描述的另外两个来自巴拿马的种(H. flualis Schaus, 1916和H. musalis Schaus, 1916)，后来被纳入Schrankia，这是第一次说明:它们的全型生殖器显示它们不具有Schrankia或Hypenopsis的诊断特征，它们的COI条形码序列与这两个属以及其他hypendinae属不同;它们在这里被认为是棘棘鱼科。

Myotis nattereri représente un complexe d'espèces qui a mobilisé l'attention récente de morphologistes et de généticiens pour définir le statut spécifique de diverses formes, y compris celles informellement connues sous l'appellation de Myotis sp. A, M. sp. B et M. sp. C. Les deux premières formes ont depuis été reconnues comme espèces à part entière et nommées respectivement M. crypticus et M. zenatius; elles diffèrent des espèces nominales M. nattereri au sens strict et M. escalerai. La dernière forme, Myotis sp. C, n'est connue que de Corse. Nous démontrons ici qu'elle possède non seulement des haplotypes mitochondriaux uniques, mais aussi plusieurs allèles nucléaires divergents que l'on ne retrouve nulle part ailleurs et qui démontrent une longue évolution indépendante de ce taxon. Ceci confirme son statut spécifique et nous la décrivons par conséquent comme espèce nouvelle. Son mode de vie et ses affinités rupicoles la rapprochent de l'espèce ibérique M. escalerai, bien que morphologiquement elle soit plus semblable à M. crypticus. Cette nouvelle espèce est endémique de Corse et y est apparemment très rare et presque exclusivement localisée aux régions montagneuses boisées. En raison de sa distribution restreinte, de la petite taille de ses populations, et de la connectivité restreinte de ses populations, elle semble très vulnérable au changement climatique et devrait être classée comme espèce en danger.

Abstract: We report on verified cases of longevity in the Japanese Fire-bellied Newt Cynops pyrrhogaster. Two individuals obtained as adults in 1978 died in July 2008 and November 2017, resulting in an individual minimum lifespan of 33 and 42 years, respectively, possibly even longer. Another four individuals of C. pyrrhogaster were received in 1975 and living now for more than 47 years, with two individuals received as adults likely having reached a lifespan of 50 years already. Another adult male C. pyrrhogaster was obtained in 1991 and died in 2022 at an accordingly estimated age of >34 years. Previously reported lifespans for C. pyrrhogaster in human care were 20-25 years, with only a single report of 40 years. However, other species of Cynops and Hypselotriton are also apparently long-lived, such as H. cyanurus chuxiongensis (25 years), H. orientalis (32 years), and C. ensicauda (43 years). With these documented cases, the lifespan of Fire-bellied Newts is exceeded only by few other species of Caudata, such as Andrias japonicus (70 years), Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, Salamandra salamandra (>50 years), and Proteus anguis (100 years). Our report thus indicates that decades-long lifespans in salamandrid newts, viz. substantial longevity, might be rather common and could be considered a rule, not an exception.
