ABSTRACT. A new species of Langlieria is described from the Upper Devonian (Frasnian) Irish Valley Member of the Catskill Formation. The type material was collected from a road cut exposure on the north side of the westbound lanes of Pennsylvania Route 322 west of Port Matilda, Centre County, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. The new species of Langlieria, the second from the Catskill Formation, is represented by high quality cranial material including parietal and postparietal shields, cheek, principal gular, and lower jaw; fin material; and body scales. The new species is the fourth tristichopterid to be described from the Catskill Formation (after Hyneria lindae, Langlieria radiatus, and Eusthenodon bourdoni) and the first from the Irish Valley Member. It is also the first species of Langlieria with a known record in the Frasnian. Sedimentological and stratigraphic data suggest that the discovery site represents a distal, tide-dominated location within the Catskill Delta system with a greater marine influence than has been reconstructed for the previously described Catskill Formation tristichopterids. A new phylogenetic analysis of Tristichopteridae is presented that is the first to include the new species of Langlieria described here and E. bourdoni from the Cogan House Exit Ramp locality (Famennian, Duncannon Member) along U.S. Route 15/Interstate 99. The 50% majority-rule consensus tree from the analysis supports a highly-nested clade of tristichopterids that includes all of the considered species from the Famennian, with the exception of Heddleichthys dalgleisiensis, and additionally includes the Frasnian Langlieria species that is described here.

ABSTRACT. Alexander Wilson (1766–1813) based his description of the “Slate-colored Hawk / Falco atricapillus” (=Accipiter gentilis atricapillus) on a single specimen collected near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which he deposited for posterity in the Philadelphia (Peale) Museum. Wilson's illustration of the specimen was engraved and hand-colored prints were published in American Ornithology vol. 6 (1812b, Pl. 52) to accompany his scientific description of the species. However, the path of Wilson's type specimens became difficult to trace after the Peale Museum closed in 1846 and its collections were sold and dispersed. Wilson's holotype of F. atricapillus was presumed lost or destroyed until November 2020, when I rediscovered it in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University (ANSP), thanks to a penciled note made by the late Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee, former ANSP curator of birds. This research also sheds new light on the history of the Peale Museum bird collection, exposing a basic misunderstanding about the “Peale numbers” cited by Wilson, which has broad implications for the history of American ornithology. In short, “Peale numbers” were assigned to species (not specimens) held in the Peale Museum.
摘要。亚历山大·威尔逊(1766-1813)根据他在宾夕法尼亚州费城附近收集的一个标本描述了“板岩色鹰/Falco atricapillo”(=Accipiter gentilis atricapillu),并将其存放在费城(皮尔)博物馆供后人收藏。威尔逊对该标本的插图被雕刻,并在《美国鸟类学》第6卷(1812b,第52页)上发表了手绘版画,以配合他对该物种的科学描述。然而,在1846年皮尔博物馆关闭,其藏品被出售和分散后,威尔逊模式标本的路径变得难以追踪。直到2020年11月,我在德雷塞尔大学自然科学院(ANSP)的藏品中重新发现了威尔逊的a.atricapillus正模标本,这要归功于已故ANSP鸟类馆长鲁道夫·迈耶·德·沙恩西(Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee)的铅笔笔记。这项研究也为皮尔博物馆鸟类收藏的历史提供了新的线索,暴露了对威尔逊引用的“皮尔数字”的基本误解,这对美国鸟类学史有着广泛的意义。简而言之,“豌豆数量”被分配给了保存在豌豆博物馆的物种(而不是标本)。

ABSTRACT. Alburnus heckeli Battalgil 1944 is endemic to Lake Hazar in the Euphrates-Tigris River system (Persian Gulf basin) and shares morphological and molecular characters with the widespread species A. sellal Heckel 1843, except putatively for the number of gill rakers. This study compared morphometric and meristic data for A. heckeli with lentic and lotic populations of A. sellal. The only significant difference was in the number of gill rakers in lotic populations of A. sellal (10–25) vs. lentic populations of A. sellal (26–35) and A. heckeli (28–35). Although our results are consistent with the interpretation of A. heckeli and A. sellal as “young species”, the amiguity of available morphological and molecular sequence data suggest that A. heckeli is best treated as a junior synonym of A. sellal until reliable differences are found.

ABSTRACT. The pimelodid genus Hypophthalmus is a small group of pelagic and planktivorous catfishes that are abundant and variously distributed in the lowland river basins of the Amazon, Parnaíba, Orinoco, Guianas and Paraná. Since their earliest published descriptions, commencing over 190 years ago with H. edentatus Spix and Agassiz 1829, the taxonomy and nomenclature of Hypophthalmus species have been confused and unresolved. In this study, four of the six available species names are validated and two new species are described. Newly discovered characters of the vertebral column, circumoral barbels, pelvic fins, and lateralis sensory canals provide strong support and diagnostics for species and species-groups. A key to species, anatomical descriptions, notes on identification of small juveniles and phylogenetic interrelationships are included. A lectotype is designated for Hypophthalmus marginatus and nominal Hypophthalmus longifilis, respectively.
