Other coloration patterns similar to purple form. + + + + +Etymology. +The meaning of the Latin term + +pulverulentus + +is “covered with dust” in reference to the many tiny dot-like spots on the carapace of the new species. + + +Common name. +The “dusty crayfish” is proposed as a common name. + + + + +Distribution. +Based on information from the supplier, the new species occurs westward in surrounding tributary streams to the Ayamaru Lake, Framu Subdistrict, Ayamaru District, Maybrat Regency, Southwest +Papua Province +, Bird's Head Peninsula, +Indonesia +( +Fig. 4 +). The locality is on the Ayamaru limestone plateau about +250 m +a.s.l. Future detailed surveys of the locality are recommended to improve the knowledge of the new species distribution. + + + + +Phylogenetics. +The phylogenetic relationship inferred from two mitochondrial gene fragments ( +COI +and +16S +) results in a phylogram with a clearly defined species, + +C +. +pulverulentus + + +sp. nov. + +( +Fig. 5 +). The new species forms a strongly supported clade sister to + +C +. +pulcher + +with model corrected differences of 3.8 and 2.1% for +COI +and +16S +genes, respectively. These two species form a clade as sister group to + +C +. +wagenknechtae + +, from which + +C +. +pulverulentus + + +sp. nov. + +differing by 6.8 and 3.8% for +COI +and +16S +genes, respectively. From three newly analysed specimens, two haplotypes were identified for both genes analysed (GenBank accession numbers PP751626 and PP751627 for +COI +, PP751802 and PP751803 for +16S +). Both the moderate level of sequence divergence and the morphological differences described above warrant recognition of + +C +. +pulverulentus + + +sp. nov. + +as distinct from the closely related + +C +. +pulcher + +. Phylogenetic analyses showed that previously studied individuals from Hungarian thermal waters ( + +Weiperth +et al. +2019 + +; + +Bláha +et al. +2022 + +) belong to + +C +. +pulverulentus + + +sp. nov. + +(OL806576, OL806577, OL790139 for +COI +and OL828274, OL828272, OL780440 for +16S +). These previously analysed individuals represent three other haplotypes different from the +type +sequences of newly described species ( +Table 1 +). Additionally, two mitochondrial sequences labelled as + +C +. +boesemani + +(NC026227, KM501042) contain gene fragments sharing the same haplotype with our PP751626 ( +COI +) and PP752802 ( +16S +) haplotypes. This underlines the historical problem with proper identification of the species of + +Cherax + +originating from New +Guinea +, which is very difficult without comparison with other related species using basic molecular methods such as DNA barcoding. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/EC/87/03EC878BFFC6B91080D4F9123625F883.xml b/data/03/EC/87/03EC878BFFC6B91080D4F9123625F883.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..b4e8ccc60f2 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/EC/87/03EC878BFFC6B91080D4F9123625F883.xml @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ + + + +New records of hygrobatid water mites from SE Australia (Acari: Hydrachnidia Hygrobatidae) with the description of ten new species + + + +Author + +Smit, Harry +Naturalis Biodiversity Center, P.
