In all these characters + +M. caspica + +most closely resembles the species + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. +from the river Danube described below. This certainly led to the assignment of the specimens from the Danube to this Caspian Sea species, albeit as a subspecies (see Introduction and below). However, a comparison of the individuals available to us also showed that there are differences between the specimens from the two areas. In + +M. caspica + +, for example, the thoracic chaetigers become continuously longer from chaetiger 2 to chaetiger 7, whereas in + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. +chaetiger 5 is shorter than chaetigers 4 and 6. + +Manayunkia caspica + +has 2–5 (rarely 6) thoracic uncini, whereas + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. +has 6–8 (rarely 4) uncini. In + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. +the thoracic uncini are sometimes arranged in a slightly offset double row. In addition, the thoracic and abdominal uncini differ slightly. In + +M. caspica + +there are about 4–6 rows of increasingly smaller teeth above the main fang in the thoracic uncini, whereas in + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. +there are a maximum of 4 rows. The number of teeth per row is also somewhat lower in the species from the Danube. The abdominal uncini in + +M. caspica + +have a maximum of 6 rows of teeth, in + +M. danubialis + +there are 6–8 rows. Furthermore, the transitional uncini of + +M. caspica + +have considerably more apical teeth than those of + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. + + +The distribution area and habitat are also useful for distinguishing + +Manayunkia +species + +, as shown, for example, by the niche differentiation of the three species from Lake Baikal and the geographical distribution of the two species from North America ( + +Atkinson +et al. +2020 + +, + +Sitnikova +et al. +1997 + +), because the distribution areas of the species are, as far as is known, relatively limited (see Introduction). + + + +Manayunkia caspica + +has been described on silty bottoms in the Caspian Sea at depths between +17 m +and +64 m +and salinities between 1.3 and 13.2 psu ( +Annenkova 1929a +, b). The specimens of + +Manayunkia + +that occur in the Danube inhabit a completely different habitat. They live in freshwater, do not tolerate large fluctuations in salinity, prefer oxygen-rich and rocky habitats at shallow depths ( +Popescu-Marinescu 2008 +). Based on the ecological species concept, the spatially and ecologically separated populations from the Caspian Sea and the Danube can therefore also be regarded as distinct species. Genetic studies will ultimately have to clarify whether they are actually separate species. + + +There is a slight difference in the number of thoracic and abdominal uncini between smaller and larger individuals. Smaller individuals have fewer uncini in general (see also the Remarks on + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. +). + + + +FIGURE 4. + +Manayunkia caspica +Annenkova, 1929 + +, semithin sections (1 µm) through radiolar crown.

This is the presence of transitional uncini in a number of specimens and of a brood chamber in females. Transitional uncini or transitional chaetae on the neuropodia of the last three thoracic chaetigers have been described several times in some species of the +Fabriciidae +(see +Bick 2020 +, +Bick & Armendáriz, 2021 +). The transitional chaetae are elongated hooded chaetae bent almost at right angles. The upper side of these chaetae bears a multitude of small teeth. This +type +was first described in + +Brandtika +spp. + +as ‘pilose chaetae’ ( +Jones 1974 +) and later in + +M. occidentalis + +and + +M. speciosa + +as ‘elongate hooded chaetae’ ( + +Atkinson +et al. +2020 + +). They also occur in + +M. baicalensis + +, + +M. godlewskii + +and + +M. zenkewitschii +( + +Sitnikova +et al. +1997 + +) + +. Transitional uncini are similar to normal thoracic uncini. But the dentate region is somewhat elongated, a distinct main fang is absent and the entire upper surface is covered with a multitude of small equally sized teeth. This +type +occurs in + +M. caspica + +( +Fig. 3G, H +) and + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. +( +Fig. 7H +), as well as in + +M. aestuarina + +, + +M. athalassia +, +M. zenkewitschii + +and + +Monroika clarae + +(own observations, +Bick 2020 +, +Bick & Armendáriz, 2021 +). Whether there is indeed a clear separation of the occurrence of these +two types +of chaetae or whether +one type +represents an intermediate form in chaetae change during development must be proven by future studies. The presence of these chaetae is probably a sexual dimorphism, as has been clearly shown for + +M. occidentalis + +and + +M. speciosa +( + +Atkinson +et al. +2020 + +) + +. Whether this really applies to all + +Manayunkia +species + +or whether these transitional chaetae/uncini can also occur in males is not yet known. It is also unknown whether normal uncini develop first during individual development and are later replaced by transitional chaetae/uncini or whether this is not the case. + + +The presence of a brood chamber in females has so far only been described for the three species from Lake Baikal ( + +Sitnikova +et al. +1997 + +). +Popescu-Marinescu (2008) +also described that the body of the females of individuals from the Danube changes in the reproduction period. They become longer, thinner and, what is particularly important in this context, deformed in the posterior part of their body. This can most likely also be interpreted as the formation of a brood chamber (see also description for + +M. danubialis + +n. comb. +, below). The presence of a brood chamber for + +M. caspica + +females is shown here for the first time ( +Fig. 2F, G +). This brood chamber is formed by wing-like protrusions of the integument of chaetigers 6 and 7. The segment boundaries are no longer visible. This means that brood chambers have been described in the females of 5 species. Together with the tube wall, these wing-like protrusions form the proper brood chamber. An egg was once observed which was apparently attached to the tube wall ( +Fig. 2H +). + + +Geographic distribution. +So far only known from the Caspian Sea. Records outside the Caspian Sea in southeast European rivers are questionable. A re-examination of specimens from these regions, including molecular methods, is urgently required. + + + + +Biology. +In the material we received from +October 2018 +, there were females with eggs in chaetiger 4, deposited eggs in tubes and juvenile specimens with a length of slightly more than +1 mm +. The eggs had a size of about 200– 300 µm x 70–96 µm. It is therefore not possible to make a reliable statement about the reproduction period of this species. + + +Ecology. +This species was first found on silty bottoms from depths between 17 and +64 m +and salinities between about 1.3 to 13.2 psu ( +Annenkova 1929a +, b). + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/80/BE/0380BE72FFC8C629FF1AFE206A74FA26.xml b/data/03/80/BE/0380BE72FFC8C629FF1AFE206A74FA26.xml index 37284386c0f..92b059a14e2 100644 --- a/data/03/80/BE/0380BE72FFC8C629FF1AFE206A74FA26.xml +++ b/data/03/80/BE/0380BE72FFC8C629FF1AFE206A74FA26.xml @@ -1,59 +1,59 @@ - - - -Redescription of Manayunkia caspica Annenkova, 1929 and M. danubialis Băcescu, 1944 n. comb.

+ + +Interorbital space narrow, its width +6.8‒7.5 in +HL; some smooth ridges present on top of head and snout. Two nostrils situated at slightly less than 1 eye diameter before the eye, well in front of posterior end of premaxilla and slightly behind midpoint of snout. Maxilla short, extending nearly to anterior margin of eye, to a vertical about 1/8 eye diameter before the eye margin. Sensory canals on snout, cheek, operculum, and jaws, not clearly visible in most specimens due to lost skin; numerous sensory pores on dorsal surface of snout and lower surface of lower jaw. + +Gill filaments present on all four gill arches. Fourth arch mostly connected to gill chamber wall by membranes. Pseudobranchs present, anterior half included in a deep pocket. + +DFO situated at about posterior two-fifths of the fish, well behind VFO but closer to VFO than AFO, predorsal length +1.6‒1.7 in +SL. Pectoral-fin base slightly behind posterior margin of gill cover, upper end of fin base about at a horizontal line drawn through lower margin of eye; no small pocket behind fin base. VFO at about midpoint of the fish, pre-pelvic fin length +1.9‒2.1 in +SL. Anus clearly behind tip of appressed pelvic fin, by about 1/3 to 1 pelvic-fin length. A tiny axial scale behind pelvic-fin base. Anal fin originating in posterior fourth of fish, pre-anal length +1.2‒1.3 in +SL. Dorsal adipose fin over rear portion of anal-fin base, its base length slightly smaller than eye diameter. + + + +FIGURE 2. +Distribution maps of two + +Lestidiops +species.

Solid symbol represents the holotype of each. One symbol may represent more than one capture. + + + +Two or three small fangs at tip of upper jaw, followed by single row of small, retrorse teeth, these gradually becoming smaller on posterior part of jaw. Vomerine teeth absent. One to three fangs (either depressible or fixed) at front end of each lower jaw, followed by two rows of small fangs arranged in about 7 or 8 pairs; those of inner row very long with knife-like tip and depressible; those in outer row much shorter (about 1/ +4 in +length of the adjacent inner teeth), curved, and fixed. Two rows of fangs on each palatine with anteriormost teeth arranged in 3‒5 (usually 3) pairs, those in inner row long and depressible, on outer row small and fixed, followed by single row of small, fixed teeth on posterior half of palatine. No or few small teeth on tongue, some teeth at middle forming two short rows and some restricted on posterior portion of tongue. + +Relatively few gill rakers on gill arch, rather loose in arrangement. Narrow, shield-shaped gill rakers present on epibranchial, ceratobranchial, and hypobranchial parts of each gill arch, each raker usually with 1 or 2 (rarely 3 or more) slender teeth on broad base, these teeth extending slightly upward beyond margin of gill arch. Slender teeth on pharyngeal arch arranged in an oval patch with about 5 or 6 rows in middle. Single row of small teeth on fifth ceratobranchial. + + +FIGURE 3. + +Lestidiops ringens + +( +Jordan & Gilbert, 1880 +) HUMZ 222604, 237 mm SL, off Tohoku, Japan. A. Fresh, photo by HUMZ.

Arrow points to the anus. + + +Body scaleless, except for single row of complete lateral-line scales extending from above pectoral girdle to caudal-fin base. Lateral-line scales longer than tall, gradually becoming narrower (as wide as deep) posteriorly, with many strongly reduced scales on posterior portion; 1 large pore on each upper and lower margin of all scales. +Luminescent duct absent. + +Size. +Largest specimen examined is +243 mm +SL, sex indeterminate. + + + +Coloration ( +Figs. 3A, B +). + +Body generally light brown, with some specimens exhibiting a green metallic shine. Upper fifth of body light brown with tiny melanophores and large unpigmented areas behind the eye and on the lower portion of the body. Melanophores on the dorsum do not extend downward to the lateral line, leaving an unpigmented area above the lateral line before the DFO; melanophores gradually extend below and cover the lateral line behind the DFO. + +Head loosely covered by melanophores, with denser concentrations on the tips of the snout and lips of the lower jaw, the dorso-posterior corner of the orbit, and a large black patch on the top of the skull. A narrow, wavy band of melanophores is present beneath skin along the upper margin of lateral line, with a few scattered dots along the lower margin of anterior third of lateral line, gradually becoming denser and forming a wavy line posteriorly. Lower half of the body mostly without melanophores. Row of small dots along ridge between the anus and the anal fin, with the caudal peduncle displaying dense melanophores. +Upper pectoral fin rays, outer rays of pelvic fin, and all rays of dorsal, anal, and caudal fins covered with melanophores. Peritoneal membranes dark brown, and mouth cavity and gill chamber mostly pale, with the inner surface of operculum covered with loose melanophores. + +A +96.1 mm +SL specimen has less pigmentation on the body, but there are dense melanophores along the upper margin of the lateral line. + + + + +Distribution. +Only a few records of adults from the northern Pacific Ocean, off +Japan +(ca. 39‒ +40°N +) (this study), Kuril Islands ( + +Parin +et al. +, 1995 + +), but rather common in the northeastern Pacific Ocean (ca. 22‒ +59°N +) ( +Fig. 2B +). Bathymetric range +220‒752 m +in +Japan +. Based on collected specimens, + +L. ringens + +is quite abundant in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, although most are larvae and juveniles, compared to those in the northwestern Pacific Ocean (this study; also see http://www.fishnet2.net/). + + + + +Remarks. +A small specimen ( +96.1 mm +SL) has most posterior small scales lost and no trace can be detected. This is not a common situation, because when the scales are lost, usually pockets or a canal remain. However, the specimen has almost identical vertebral formula and is thus recognized as the same species. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/90/87/039087C03F542A58E8D3FC61D87CFB9F.xml b/data/03/90/87/039087C03F542A58E8D3FC61D87CFB9F.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..4ee63deb4c0 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/90/87/039087C03F542A58E8D3FC61D87CFB9F.xml @@ -0,0 +1,938 @@ + + + +Redescriptions of two Lestidiops species (Aulopiformes: Paralepididae) from Japan, with comments on their morphology + + + +Author + +Ho, Hsuan-Ching +0000-0003-1154-601X +Department and Graduate Institute of Aquaculture, National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, Kaohsiung, Taiwan & Institute of Marine Biology, National Dong Hwa University, Pingtung, Taiwan & Australian Museum, Sydney, Australia + + + +Author + +Yang, Tsung-Yu +0000-0003-4302-120X +Department of Fisheries Technology and Management, National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, Kaohsiung, Taiwan +tyyang2020@nkust.edu.tw + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2024 + +2024-07-15 + + +5481 + + +1 + + +30 +42 + + + + +http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5481.1.2 + +journal article +299930 +10.11646/zootaxa.5481.1.2 +e4657849-586c-4556-a384-ded2ca561b09 +1175-5326 +12742566 +64DCBB0A-D27A-43B1-A5EB-2D22D33FBF2C + + + + + + + +Lestidiops sphyraenopsis +Hubbs, 1916 + + + + + + + +Figs. 1 +, +2A +; +Tables 1‒2 + + + + + + + +Lestidiops sphyraenopsis +Hubbs, 1916:155 + + +, pl. 18 ( +type +locality: near shore, Avalon Bay, Santa Catalina Island, +California +, +U.S.A. +). + +Rofen 1966: 322 + +(mention). + +Post 1972:145 + +( +type +catalog).

On posterior portion behind pelvic fin, gradually covered evenly with melanophores. Margins of caudal peduncle darker, with upper margin broader than lower. All fins light brown, covered evenly with melanophores; adipose fin darker. Mouth cavity pale; inner side of gill cover and branchiostegal membranes black; gill chamber black; gill arches pale. Isthmus covered with sparsely distributed melanophores. Peritoneal membranes black. + + +Pigmentation gradually denser in specimens larger than +300 mm +SL, heavily covered with melanophores, including lateral line and abdominal region in specimens more than +350 mm +SL. A large specimen (ca. +380 mm +SL) has dorsum dark brown with tiny melanophores; entire body, including head, lateral sides and abdominal region evenly and heavily covered with larger melanophores. + + + + +Distribution. +Widespread in the northern Pacific Ocean off +Japan +(ca. 36‒ +42°N +) and along the coastline of northern America (ca. 35‒ +44°N +), with some exceptions, e.g., one from the middle of northeastern Pacific (HUMZ 220419) and one from off southern +Mexico +(SIO 63-882) ( +Fig. 2A +). +Mundy (2005) +suggested that it could be expected in the northern Hawaiian Ridge based on its known range and tentatively identified larval specimens from +28°N +, +155°W +( +Loeb, 1979 +). Bathymetric range +292‒1440 m +in +Japan +, generally collected at depths of +400‒1000 m +, with two lots collected by midwater trawl at depths of +25‒55 m +and +100 m +, respectively. Based on collected specimens, + +L. sphyraenopsis + +is relatively abundant in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, compared to those in the northeastern Pacific Ocean (this study; also see http://www.fishnet2.net/). + + + + +Remarks. +An +80 mm +SL specimen has relatively short snout (8.5% SL), whereas larger specimens have a relatively slender snout (10.0‒11.4% SL). This would suggest that growth changes in snout length occur, similar to other paralepidids. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/9C/91/039C914EFFB2FFC4FF1779EC95440EB3.xml b/data/03/9C/91/039C914EFFB2FFC4FF1779EC95440EB3.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..bacb28fa185 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/9C/91/039C914EFFB2FFC4FF1779EC95440EB3.xml @@ -0,0 +1,141 @@ + + + +Review of the genus Scolopostethus Fieber, 1860 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae) from Central Asia with description of a new species + + + +Author + +Neimorovets, Vladimir V. +All-Russian Research Institute of Plant Protection, Shosse Podbelskogo 3, St. Petersburg-Pushkin, 196608, Russia & Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, 199034 Russia + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2024 + +2024-07-10 + + +5477 + + +4 + + +401 +435 + + + + +http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5477.4.1 + +journal article +299931 +10.11646/zootaxa.5477.4.1 +4bc09099-15ad-42a9-8cd4-7ff22f8fed6c +1175-5326 +12733141 +3EEA31D3-ECA2-4071-ACE0-87D5047D58DB + + + + + + +Genus + +Scolopostethus +Fieber, 1860 + + + + + + + + + + +Scolopostethus +Fieber, 1860: 49 + + +; + +1861: 188 + +. + +Type +species: + +Scolopostethus cognatus +Fieber, 1861 + +(subsequent designation: + +Distant, 1903: 92 + +). + + +A detailed description of the characteristic features of the genus + +Scolopostethus + +can be found in +Péricart (1998) +and +Putshkov (1969) +, and is not repeated here. + + + + +Diagnosis +.

In +Ukraine +, + +S. pilosus + +prefers light forests of deciduous or coniferous trees and fallow lands with ruderal plants ( +Putshkov, 1969 +). + +S. pilosus + +inhabits the litter, where it probably feeds on various seeds and fungal hyphae. The imago overwinters. The viposition occurs from the second half of May to the end of July in moist litter. Larvae develop in 45–55 days. The adults of a new generation appear from the end of July.

Colonies branch in a uniplanar fashion and are often broader than tall. The +holotype +( +Fig. 1A +) measures +13.5 cm +in height and 17.0 mm in width, but specimens are known up to +40 cm +in height. Branching occurs in a somewhat irregular alternate-pinnate manner ( +Fig. 1A +), the terminal branchlets not having the regularity of a comb-like structure common to many other species in the genus; terminal branchlets are of different lengths, ranging from +8–20 mm +in length. When alive the colony is grey-brown ( +Nutting, 1909 +) or white ( +Horvath, 2019 +). + + +Polyps are densely arranged ( +i.e +., 14–16 polyps per cm) in an alternating arrangement ( +Fig. 2A +), and occasionally paired, always in the plane of the colony flabellum. The polyps are cylindrical, curved distally, and quite short (almost adnate in disposition, +Fig. 2B +), measuring only +0.50–0.80 mm +in height (exclusive of the marginal spines, which can extend considerably beyond the operculum). + + +Each polyp is encased by eight opercular scales distally and a variable number of body wall scales (discussed below). The opercular scales ( +Fig. 3B +) are isosceles triangular in shape, with a blunt tip and range from +0.25–0.50 mm +in length, the size progressively decreasing from the abaxial to adaxial margin; their outer face is smooth distally and sparsely granular basally; their inner face is tuberculate proximally and smooth distally; they have a L:W of about 2.0. The four pairs of marginal scales ( +Fig. 3A +) are polymorphic in shape and size. The abaxial and outer-lateral pairs of marginals range from 0.7 to 1.0 mm in height and are often broken during collection. Each marginal has a massive rectangular base up to +0.6 mm +in width, which supports an elongate, cylindrical, pointed spine ( +Figs. 2B–G +, +3A +) that can be up to +0.6 mm +in length, thus composing 60% of the length of the scale. The inner-lateral pair of marginals ( +Fig. 2D +) are shorter, only about +0.55 mm +in height, and have a much shorter distal spine. The adaxial pair of marginals ( +Figs. 2D–E +) are small ( +0.23 mm +wide x +0.18 mm +tall), thin, rectangular (non-spinose) scales. The outer faces of all the marginals are smooth. Proximal to the marginal scales are a relatively small number of thick, curved body wall scales ( +Figs. 2F–G +, +3C +), also smooth in surface texture, often somewhat irregular in shape and having a ctenate distal edge. They measure up to +0.7 mm +in height and are often wider than tall. In general, there are only 1–2 pairs of abaxial submarginal body wall scales, one pair of outer-laterals, 0–1 pair of inner-laterals, and one more pair of adaxials, resulting in a body wall scale formula of: 2-3: 2: 1-2: 2. Proximal to the lowest body wall scales are two robust, curved, crescentric-shaped scales that resemble infrabasal scales ( +Figs. 2D, G +, +3E +). They form a transition between the lower body wall scales and the coenenchymal scales. Like the body wall scales, the infrabasals also have a smooth outer face, and thus are interpreted as modified body wall scales, but do not contribute to the body wall scale formula because they consist of only two scales per polyp and are not aligned with any specific row of body wall scales. + + + +FIGURE 2 +.

They measure up to +1.05 mm +in length, although most are less than +0.6 mm +, and have an L:W of up to 3.4. Their outer faces are sparsely granular. + + + + +Remarks +. It is not surprising that the east Pacific + +P. williamsi + +was described by +Nutting (1909) +and subsequently by others as the Japanese + +P. longispina +Kinoshita, 1908 + +( +Figs. 1B +, +4 +), as they both have: elongate abaxial and outer-lateral marginal spines; similarly shaped, oriented, and sized polyps; and alternate-pinnate branching and polyp placement. Although it may be noted that +Kükenthal (1919) +included +Nutting’s (1909) +record of + +P. longispina + +with a question mark, but did not in 1924. Nonetheless, + +P. williamsi + +differs primarily in having fewer body wall sclerites in all four body wall positions, as well as lacking auxiliary adaxial scales. Furthermore, + +P. williamsi + +has: taller marginal scales and more massive abaxial body wall scales and infrabasal scales; occasionally paired polyps; much larger coenenchymal scales that are less granular; an irregularly pinnate branching structure (not comb-like); and unordered granules on the opercular scales. Indeed, the small number of body wall scales of this species, which can hardly be called rows, distinguishes it from all species in the genus. + + + +FIGURE 3. +Sclerites of holotype of + +P. williamsi + +. +A +, marginal scales. +B +, opercular scales. +C +, body wall scales. +D +, coenenchymal scales. +E +, infrabasal scales. All scale bars = 0.1 mm. + + + +Although this species was recently redescribed by +Horvath (2019) +under the name + +P. longispina + +, it is nonetheless herein again redescribed based on more extensive SEM observations and a reinterpretation of some of her data. For instance, her figure 40B, labelled body wall scales are probably coenenchymals; figure 40D, labelled marginals, are also coenenchymals; and figure 40H, labelled operculars, are probably submarginals. The scale bar for figure 40E is more likely 200 µm, not 100 µm. + + + + +Etymology +. Named in honor of Gary C.
