Males of + +M. janildae + +and + +M. relictus + +are relatively similar, sharing the small lateral pronotal projections, narrow notauli, mesoscutellum with a pair of tiny blunt projections on the posterior edge, and propodeal spines short and blunt ( +Fig. 9 +). However, upon examining the genitalia differences can be observed, for example, the penisvalva of + +M. relictus + +has larger teeth on its ventral margin ( +Fig. 9 +, H), but smaller numbers than that of + +M. janildae + +( +Fig. 9 +, G). Furthermore, a slight difference was observed in the shape of the apex of the penisvalva between the species, being more rounded in the case of + +M. janildae + +than in + +M. relictus + +. Despite these differences, both penisvalva follow a simple morphological pattern within + +Formicidae ( +Snodgrass, 1941 +) + +, without major variations such as those observed in males of + +Apterostigma + +and + +Mycocepurus + +, which present notches and projections in certain regions of the penisvalva, in addition to a significant variation in the shape of its apex ( + +Santos +et al +., 2024 + +). Related to the volsella of males, a pattern common to species of the genus was observed, with the digitus internally curved and spatulate, with a slight difference in the cuspis lobe position. + + + + +Etymology +. Named in honor of Janilda Aparecida Assis dos Santos, the mother of the first author. The name is formed by the addition of the singular Latin genitive case suffix -ae to the first name of a female person; the orthography of an eponym is unchangeable and is not dependent on the generic name in which the epithet is applied. + + + + +Biology +. The entrance to the underground nest is approximately +4 mm +in diameter at the base and is situated at the bottom of a small mound of moist soil, measuring approximately +1.5 cm +in height. A chamber was found at a depth of +15–20 cm +, containing +12 workers +and a small fungal garden, but no queens. Despite further excavation, no additional chambers were located, though deeper chambers may exist. Workers have been observed to transport frass and fragments of flowers, which are likely to be used to cultivate their symbiotic fungus. The fungus displayed a spongy texture and a yellowish hue. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/9E/87/039E879C8D1CA770FEB2F8D4FC828E9C.xml b/data/03/9E/87/039E879C8D1CA770FEB2F8D4FC828E9C.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..edf9d155970 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/9E/87/039E879C8D1CA770FEB2F8D4FC828E9C.xml @@ -0,0 +1,246 @@ + + + +Taxonomic contributions to Mycetomoellerius Solomon et al., 2019 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae): description of two new species and a key for the genus + + + +Author + +Santos, Carlos Daniel Assis Dos +Pós-Graduação em Entomologia, Departamento de Entomologia, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 36570 - 900, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil + + + +Author + +Chaul, Júlio Cezar Mário +Pós-Graduação em Ecologia, Departamento de Biologia Geral, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 36570 - 900, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil + + + +Author + +Serrão, José Eduardo +Pós-Graduação em Entomologia, Departamento de Entomologia, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 36570 - 900, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil & Departamento de Biologia Geral, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 36570 - 900, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil & Pós-Graduação em Entomologia, Departamento de Entomologia, Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 36570 - 900, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-01-13 + + +5569 + + +1 + + +93 +118 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5569.1.3 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5569.1.3 +1175-5326 +AFAB2B57-EBE6-4A03-A22E-0E1862037881 + + + + + + + +Mycetomoellerius mesopleuralis +Santos + +, +Chaul +& Serrão +sp.nov. + + + + + + +( +Fig. 8 +) + + + + +Type material. + +Holotype +worker + +: BRA: SP, Agudos, +-20.758332 +, +-42.864533 +, +1959-04-30 +, Kempf, W.

Propodeum dorsum with well-developed tubercles, without well-defined lateral borders; pair of propodeal spines posterolaterally directed, slightly longer than the distance between their internal bases; propodeal spiracle projected from surrounding surface, posteriorly directed. +Metasoma +. In dorsal view, petiolar node subquadrate; postpetiole wider than long. Subpetiolar process merely a bump, and subpostpetiolar process tiny and digitiform. Petiolar node, postpetiole tergite and first gastral tergite covered by randomly distributed pilligerous tubercles; on first gastral tergite the tubercles are linked laterally and form a pair of longitudinal marginations, forming carinae, and some small tubercles forming interconnected carinae in dorsal region. + + +Queen and male. +Unknown. + + +Geographic distribution. +Brazil +( +São Paulo +). + + + + +Comments. +The new species is distinguishable from the others in the genus by the lower mesopleuron projection, which, in other species such as + +M. janildae + +, is limited to just a small edge of the cuticle, or located on the upper mesopleuron (as in + +M. holmgreni + +). + +Mycetomoellerius mesopleuralis + +shows some resemblance to + +M. relictus + +and + +M. janildae + +for sharing with them the well-developed lateral pronotal spines. Short tubercles, a common feature of the genus, are much more developed and evident in + +M. mesopleuralis + +than in most other species, particularly on the antennal scapes and the first gastral tergite. The species is only known from three localities in the Atlantic forest domain. + + + + +Etymology +. The specific epithet + +‘ +mesopleuralis + +’ refers to the projection on the lower mesopleuron, with the + +Latin suffix ‘-alis’ indicating relationship or belonging. + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/B7/5F/03B75F43F021FFF4FF4877C137702135.xml b/data/03/B7/5F/03B75F43F021FFF4FF4877C137702135.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..4da54ea3c71 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/B7/5F/03B75F43F021FFF4FF4877C137702135.xml @@ -0,0 +1,149 @@ + + + +Review of the Monobazus-group leafhopper genera (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) from the Indian subcontinent with description of five new genera and twenty-eight new species + + + +Author + +VIRAKTAMATH, C.

However, the male genitalia are quite different, so much so that this species belongs to a genus different from + +Monobazus + +. The subgenital plates are without membranous appendage covered with hair-like setae, the male pygofer is without ventral process, the aedeagus is without ventral forked process and hence it is removed from the genus + +Monobazus + +and transferred to the genus + +Longicornus +Li & Song (2008) + +based on the short subgenital plate with subapically incurved margin and other male genitalia characters. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/03/B7/5F/03B75F43F042FF90FF4872B93567271A.xml b/data/03/B7/5F/03B75F43F042FF90FF4872B93567271A.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..a282d5e9b66 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/03/B7/5F/03B75F43F042FF90FF4872B93567271A.xml @@ -0,0 +1,394 @@ + + + +Review of the Monobazus-group leafhopper genera (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) from the Indian subcontinent with description of five new genera and twenty-eight new species + + + +Author + +VIRAKTAMATH, C.

Ochraceous with pale and brown markings on head, pronotum, and mesonotum. + + +Medium sized species measuring 4.0– +4.4 mm +long. Head as wide as or wider than pronotum, crown surface with apical half shagreen, posterior half polished; median sulcus about 0.75 as long as crown; fore margin rounded to face. Eyes large, their outer margin in line with outer margin of crown, transverse or obliquely extended on anterolateral angles of pronotum. Ocelli prominent placed a distance less than own diameter away from eyes. Antennae longer than width of head. Face including eyes slightly wider than long; frontoclypeus broader; clypellus broad apically. Pronotum slightly convex dorsally, about 1.5–1.9× as long as crown; with lateral margins carinate, surface polished, posterior margin almost straight. Exposed mesonotum about as long as pronotum. Forewing with claval veins connected by cross vein, inner claval vein connected to claval suture by cross vein, a few to several accessary cross veins present, three anteapical and four apical cells, appendix narrow not extending beyond middle of second apical cell. Pro-tibia comparatively long and slender compared to meso-tibia; AV row of setae 15–16, conical, short, peg-like, in basal 0.66; AM row of setae represented by hair-like AM1, IC row of setae 14–15, slender hair-like. Metafemur with 2+2+1 apical macrosetae. Meta tibia with PD row macrosetae long, as long or longer than half length of fore tibia. Metabasitarsomere with 3 platellae and one stout tapered seta on either side. + + +Male genitalia +. Pygofer without anterior apodemes, tergum short, lobes well produced posteriorly, making tergum deeply U-shaped in dorsal view, ventral process present, long, blade-like, exceeding pygofer apex, with numerous macrosetae in distal half, ventral margin convex, posterodorsal angle conically or subconically rounded. Valve transverse, anterior margin convex or angularly produced posteriorly at midlength. Subgenital plates triangular, elongate, about 2.0–3.25× as long as basal width, with marginal row of macrosetae in middle 0.33 region and numerous hair-like setae in distal 0.75. Style with well-developed subapical lobe, apophysis curved laterally, with surface transversely serrate. Connective Y-shaped, with stem about as long as arms. Aedeagus with dorsal apodeme fairly well-developed, shaft with lateral small triangular processes in basal half, gonopore either apical or at midlength on ventral surface. + + +Etymology +.

The ear canal disc occupies between 70 and 90% of the tympanic canal, has a raised narrow central ridge from the base that projects between 50 and 80% of the width of the disc, with the interior of the disc being depressed so that the margin appears raised. The disc in the internal view has sculpturing that emphasises the raised margin ( +Fig. 5 +). + + + + +Description. +Body measurements based on mature adults are presented in +Table 3 +.

Colouring sharply demarcated at the edge of the patagium. + + +Tail slightly longer than the head and body (mean = 1.2). Tail markedly distichous and oval in cross-section, with very short ashy-brown fur on the upper and lower surfaces, paler below than above. Tail with terminal +2-3 mm +unfurred ventrally, naked skin forming a prehensile pad ( +Fig. 3B +). Broad fringe of stiff long hairs along each side (about +8 mm +in length), tail fringe usually lacking pale emargination. + +The eyes are large, dark and encircled with black fur. The rhinarium is naked, flesh coloured, and deeply cleft; the nostrils are lateral. +The ears are moderately large, flattened, oval, and moderately furred externally. +Long vibrissae, unusually numerous, extend from the snout, cheeks, and base of each ear with shorter vibrissae extending from chin. + +Hands and feet brown above, feet well furred, hands thinly furred.

The tail was accurately described by +De Vis (1887: 1135) +—“The under surface of the tail is more scantily clothed with shorter white hair continued centrally to an eighth of an inch from the tip, and laterally nearly to the tip”. The patagium, noted as “rudimentary” by De Vis, is represented by a distinct skin fold that extends from the elbow to the knee. The stiffened hairs of the tail fringe, so characteristic of the adult animal, are undeveloped and the future fringe is evident only in the laterally divergent growth of some fine hairs in the basal portion of the tail. +De Vis (1887: 1135) +reported the accompanying Indigenous name of “cubbie-cubbie”. + + +The geographic range of + +A. frontalis + +in south-eastern +Australia +overlaps extensively with that of + +A. pygmaeus + +( +Fig. 7 +). However, there are large areas where + +A. frontalis + +is the only species present: +Queensland +north of the McPherson and Border Ranges, coastal +New South Wales +north of the Wallamba River, the headwater catchments of the Murray River in north-eastern +Victoria +and southern +New South Wales +, and the middle reaches of the Murray between Swan Hill in north central +Victoria +and Renmark in +South Australia +. + + +Unfortunately, very few of the published studies of + +Acrobates + +were conducted in regions of exclusive occurrence.

The homology of the anterior dentition of the mandible is not yet determined (Aplin 2015; +Kelt and Patton 2020 +). The dental formula is currently described as I 3/1, C 1/1?, P 3/3? M 3/3 = 20+16=36 ( +Fig. 6 +), based on examination of five vouchers (ANWC M3745, M6184, M24072, NHMUK 88.3.17.1, NHMUK 1939.2988). We note that the dental formula we have observed is at variance with previous descriptions in +Harris (2015) +, +Nowak (2018) +, +Thomas (1888) +, but consistent with the dental formula in an illustration of the cranium and dentary of AMS M +3294 in +Harris (2015) +. + + +Variation in cranial and dental morphology is illustrated in +Fig. 6 +and Supplementary +Fig. S2 +. We note that the description of cranial and dental morphology for + +Acrobates + +in Thomas’ (1888) account is likely based on a composite series of both species of + +Acrobates + +given the collection locations he listed for the +17 specimens +he had available. Recently, + +Fabian +et al. +(2023) + +, in describing several fossil acrobatids, carried out a comparison of dental morphology of extant and extinct acrobatids. From their appendix of material examined we were able to determine that they examined dentaries from +12 specimens +of + +A. pygmaeus + +and 24 + +A. frontalis + +(Supplementary +Table S1 +). + +Fabian +et al. +(2023) + +effectively had done a “blind” analysis of dental variation in that they did not identify the vouchers to species level prior to their examination and subsequently stated that: “we did not detect significant variation in the dental features we examined, including in m1 morphology (see Results). We conservatively refer to all of these specimens as + +A. pygmaeus + +”. + + + + +Distribution. +Broadly distributed across forested and wooded regions of south-eastern +Australia +, including: the south-eastern corner of +South Australia +; +Victoria +with the exception of the inland draining catchments of the Murray Basin; the Great Dividing Range of +New South Wales +, north to the Border and McPherson Ranges in south-eastern +Queensland +; and the coastal drainages of the Great Dividing Range, north at least to the Wallamba River, Tuncurry—AMS M25806 ( +Fig. 7 +). + +Acrobates pygmaeus + +is regionally sympatric with + +A. frontalis + +throughout its entire range, with numerous instances of syntopy at the level of museum locational data (Supplementary +Table S1 +). + + + + +Remarks. +The +lectotype +and +paralectotype +of + +Didelphis pygmaea +Shaw 1794 + +are leached of all pigment and stained a uniform brown colour. The +lectotype +is in poor condition, with much of the fur stripped from the venter and from the tail. The manus and pes are clenched and dehydrated, and no details of the plantar surface are discernible. However, the terminal pads of pedal digits 4 and 5, while folded and somewhat shrivelled, seem to be relatively unexpanded and thus consistent with + +Acrobates pygmaeus + +rather than + +A. frontalis + +. + + + +FIGURE 7. +Map showing distribution records of + +Acrobates + +based on identified vouchers (Supplementary Table S1). +A +) + +A. frontalis + +—blue squares; +B +) + +A. pygmaeus + +—red circles. + + + +The +holotype +of + +Acrobates pulchellus +Rothschild, 1892 + +(NHMUK 1939.2988) is a well-preserved puppet skin and a cleaned skull which lacks the rear part of the skull Supplementary +Fig. S2 B +). The purplish-brown colour of the dorsal fur, noted as a diagnostic feature by +Rothschild (1892) +, falls within the observed variation of both species. The tail is short but the density of ventral fur at the tip leaves us in no doubt that it is damaged, possibly to a significant degree. The pes is consistent in morphology with + +A. pygmaeus + +, featuring relatively small, ovate terminal pads on each of digits IV-V and a prominent accessory hallucal pad on which the striae are clearly visible. The extensively grey-based ventral pelage of NHMUK 1939.2988, though not strictly diagnostic at species level, nonetheless is also consistent with the typical condition in + +A. pygmaeus + +. + + +Our assessment of the +holotype +of + +A. pulchellus + +supports and extends the previous findings of +Tate (1938) +. In all morphological respects, including the morphology of the skull and teeth examined by +Tate (1938) +, the purportedly New Guinean +holotype +of + +Acrobates pulchellus + +resembles + +A. pygmaeus + +of south-eastern +Australia +, rather than northern populations of + +A. frontalis + +. Like Tate, we favour the view that the locality details accompanying NHMUK 1939.2988 are spurious and that it was derived from somewhere in south-eastern +Australia +, a conclusion that could be tested further by DNA sequencing of the +holotype +. + + + +TABLE 1. +Specimens examined for the genetic analyses.

Also extensively found in Europe, North America, +South Africa +and +Japan +. + + + + + +New Zealand +biosecurity status. + +Adventive, but well established in New Zealand. + + + + +Remarks. +Although similar morphological variations are present in males of overseas forms of + +C. mutica + +, this species is quite distinctive amongst +New Zealand +caprellids. The males have dense spiny projections covering pereonites 3–7, densest on pereonites 3–5. Pereonites 1–2 are covered in thick long setae extending along the first antennae, reaching all over the second gnathopods but absent on the first gnathopods. The females have reduced spination over the body, and very little setation. The males have articles 1–3 of antenna 1 enlarged, and pereonites 1–2 (when pereonite 1 combined with the head) of subequal length. + + + +Caprella mutica + +is native to north-east Asia (Peter the Great Bay, Vladivostok) and has a complex history of global invasion. This species is especially prevalent in temperate northern hemisphere waters (including Europe, North America and Asia) and has an isolated occurrence in the Southern Hemisphere from +New Zealand +waters ( + +Boos +et al. +2011 + +), and southern Africa ( +Peters & Robinson 2017 +). Detailed studies of similar climates and conditions around +Australia +, and southern America do not record this species ( + +Thiel +et al +. 2003 + +; +Guerra-García & Takeuchi 2004 +). Introduced populations of this species are associated with artificial environments including shipping, marinas and aquaculture facilities, but in its native environment are associated with macroalgae and aquaculture structures ( + +Boos +et al. +2011 + +). + + + +FIGURE 4. + +Caprella mutica +Schurin, 1935 + +, Lyttelton Harbour/Whakaraupō, New Zealand. A, male, NIWA 155320, 24.5 mm; B, female, NIWA 155320, 10.5 mm. + + + + +Caprella mutica + +was first recorded from +New Zealand +in 2002 but documented officially in 2008 ( + +Woods +et al +. 2008 + +; +Ahyong & Wilkens 2011 +). First noted from in the southern Port of Timaru in 2002 as part of a national baseline biota survey of ports and marinas ( + +Inglis +et al +. 2006 + +), the distribution is now considered to be in most major ports on the South Island/Te Waipounamu, with a vessel biofouling record for +Wellington +New Zealand +( +Fig. 1 +) ( + +Willis +et al. +2009 + +) ( +Table 1 +). This distributional record, though quite extensive, is primarily restricted to major ports and areas of aquaculture activities but not to smaller centers largely due to the sampling effort of the long-running (since 2002) targeted surveillance programme for non-indigenous species in 12 ports and marinas around +New Zealand +(National Marine High Risk Site Surveillance (NMHRSS) programme) undertaken for the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI, Biosecurity +New Zealand +). This indicates that the species could potentially be more widespread than these records suggest.

However, detailed study into the morphological and molecular variations that can be aligned to distributional ranges of the species were beyond the scope of this paper. Therefore, due to this and the early synonymisation of a variety of nominated species with + +Caprella equilibra +(Thomson & Chilton, 1886) + +, it is uncertain if + +Caprella equilibra + +sensu stricto +occurs in +New Zealand +. Despite the very similar morphology between records, this study reveals there are potentially multiple species in +New Zealand +waters under + +Caprella equilibra + +. Molecular studies across many groups of marine invertebrates have shown that despite presumed cosmopolitan distributions, many such species actually comprise species complexes (e.g., + +Fehlauer-Ale +et al. +2014 + +; + +Cabezas +et al. +2013a + +, + +Cabezas +et al. +2013b + +). +Darling & Carlton (2018) +presented the concept of ‘pseudocosmopolitan’ species. These are taxa that are considered cosmopolitan until they have detailed molecular assessment that proves they are in fact genetically and geographically distinct species. There are numerous records of + +C. equilibra + +recorded in +New Zealand +, from systematics checklists ( +Kirk, 1878 +) to ecological and biosecurity evaluations, such as Ahyong & Wilkins (2011). Until a detailed study can be carried out to re-examine previous records, and, ideally with resampling of fresh material, + +C +. +equilibra + +is provisionally treated as part of the +New Zealand +fauna. It has been observed that + +C. equilibra + +has potentially a higher dispersal ability and thus have a naturally wide distribution as it has been observed for long periods in the water column and has a huge potential to occupy artificial substrates (Guerra-García, pers comm.) and therefore cannot yet be excluded from New Zealand’s fauna without further data. + + +Due to the uncertain distribution patterns in +New Zealand +, this species has been omitted from the map despite forms being known from +New Zealand +. +McCain (1979) +started moving different forms out of synonymy with + +C. equilibra + +showing very similar morphological forms previously documented as that species. + + +Molecular sequences presented here ( +Fig. 2 +) are from elsewhere in the world, and, as mentioned above, it was beyond the scope of this paper to fully evaluate the status of +New Zealand +records of + +C. equilibra + +.

It is highly doubtful, however, that + +C. equilibra + +is a true cosmopolitan species. Even though there are numerous comments on the globally conservative nature of the morphology of this species, both morphological and molecular information is provided to suggest that this is in fact a species complex. + +Caprella perplexa + + +sp. nov +. + +is morphologically similar but does differ from Say’s original description by the position of the gnathopod 2 (positioned in the first third of the body, as opposed to halfway). + +Caprella equilibra + +was first recorded in +New Zealand +waters by +Thomson & Chilton (1885) +. + + + +Caprella novaezealandiae + +was synonymised with + +C. equilibra + +by +Thomson & Chilton (1885) +(but was removed by +McCain 1968 +). Chilton was notorious for assigning northern hemisphere names to geographically disparate, but morphologically similar species. There are three ( + +Caprella manneringi +, +C. perplexa + + +sp. nov. + +and + +C. sarahae + + +sp. nov +. + +), and potentially more, species involved in the + +C. equilibra + +complex in the +New Zealand +region. There is also doubt as to whether + +C. equilibra + +sensu stricto +occurs in the +New Zealand +region at all. A detailed collection and analysis programme, with both detailed morphological and molecular analysis throughout the +New Zealand +region is recommended for an accurate picture of this complex. These species generally all have an elongated pereonite 1 and 2, elongated gnathopod 2, and a ventral acute projection on pereonite 2. The differences between these species are compared to other significant records of the + +C. equilibra + +complex ( +Table 3 +). + +Caprella perplexa + +is closest to + +C. sarahae + + +sp. nov +. + +but they differ mainly by the proportion and shape of antenna 1 (flagellum long and narrow in + +C. perplexa + +, short and robust in + +C. sarahae + +), the gnathopod 1 merus posterior lobe broadly rounded ( + +C. perplexa + +) and subacute and narrow ( + +C. sarahae + +), pereonite 6 longer than 7 ( + +C. perplexa + +), and the same length ( + +C. sarahae + +). + + +There were difficulties with securing molecular sequences for the material (old material originally rinsed in formalin). + +Caprella manneringi + +is predominantly found on asteroids in the subantarctic, + +C. sarahae + +has a wider distribution (see species notes) whereas + +C. perplexa + +seems to be more restricted to the northern region of the North Island. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/6E/21/87/6E2187D4FF98FFB101BEC3DA2199FA9B.xml b/data/6E/21/87/6E2187D4FF98FFB101BEC3DA2199FA9B.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..3e892461bd5 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/6E/21/87/6E2187D4FF98FFB101BEC3DA2199FA9B.xml @@ -0,0 +1,613 @@ + + + +Caprellidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) of Aotearoa New Zealand waters: a constantly changing landscape + + + +Author + +Peart, Rachael A. +National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington, 6241 + + + +Author + +Woods, Chris +0000-0001-5968-0811 +National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington, 6241 & National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, PO Box 8602, Christchurch, New Zealand, 8011 rachael. peart @ niwa. co. nz; https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0001 - 5968 - 0811 chris. woods @ niwa. co. nz; https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0002 - 5419 - 685 X & National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington, 6241 +rachael.peart@niwa.co.nz + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-01-10 + + +5568 + + +1 + + +1 +65 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5568.1.1 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5568.1.1 +1175-5334 +F7A323AB-AE2A-480D-8B76-9FEEB5CD6184 + + + + + + + +Caprella sarahae + +sp. nov. + + + + + + +( +Figs. 1 +, +12–14 +) + + + + +Type material. + +Holotype +: +NIWA 155331 +, male ( +13 mm +), SA-3543, stn Z18756, +Hoho Islet +, +Snares Islands +/ +Tini Heke +, +New Zealand +, +48°7.002’S +166°36’E +, + +0–1 m + +, amongst turf of hydroids in rock crevices in + +lower +Durvillea + +sp. zone, coll. +G.D.

Guerra-García annotated the species from Tasmania, Western Australia and subantarctic +New Zealand +, and, although maintained + +Caprellina longicollis + +sensu lato +, pointed out morphological variation among populations ( +Guerra-García 2001b +, 2003, 2004; +Guerra-García & Takeuchi 2004 +). + +De Broyer +et al +. (2004) + +, based on these morphological differences, suggested the existence of a species complex within + +Caprellina longicollis +sensu lato +, + +and indicated that specimens from +Chile +, Tasmania and +New Zealand +belonged to, at least, three different species. Indeed, the present study reveals that there is variation in the morphology between + +C. judyae +, +C. longicollis + +(reported from +New Zealand +), the redescription of + +C. longicollis + +from +Chile +, and material noted from +Tasmania +, +Australia +. Unfortunately, despite redescribing + +C. longicollis + +in early 2002, Guerra-García annotated the species from +Tasmania +. There are differences, however, in the pereonite proportions, the antennae proportions, the shape of the pereopod 6 and 7 palm, and the mouthparts of + +Caprellina longicollis + +from different regions ( +Table 4 +). Whatever the status of + +C. longicollis + +from each of the studied regions, + +C. judyae + + +sp. nov. + +is readily distinguished from each of these, warranting recognition as a new species. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/6E/21/87/6E2187D4FFB0FF9801BEC2DE21B4FBBB.xml b/data/6E/21/87/6E2187D4FFB0FF9801BEC2DE21B4FBBB.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..03f22cef319 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/6E/21/87/6E2187D4FFB0FF9801BEC2DE21B4FBBB.xml @@ -0,0 +1,510 @@ + + + +Caprellidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) of Aotearoa New Zealand waters: a constantly changing landscape + + + +Author + +Peart, Rachael A. +National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington, 6241 + + + +Author + +Woods, Chris +0000-0001-5968-0811 +National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington, 6241 & National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, PO Box 8602, Christchurch, New Zealand, 8011 rachael. peart @ niwa. co. nz; https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0001 - 5968 - 0811 chris. woods @ niwa. co. nz; https: // orcid. org / 0000 - 0002 - 5419 - 685 X & National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington, 6241 +rachael.peart@niwa.co.nz + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-01-10 + + +5568 + + +1 + + +1 +65 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5568.1.1 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5568.1.1 +1175-5334 +F7A323AB-AE2A-480D-8B76-9FEEB5CD6184 + + + + + + + +Caprellina plumea + +sp. nov. + + + + + + +( +Figs. 1 +, +25–27 +) + + + + +Type material. + +Holotype +: +NIWA 155560 +, male ( +15 mm +), Z18762, SA-3501, +Cod Cavern +, +Snares Islands +/ +Tini Heke +, subantarctic, +New Zealand +, +48°1.272498’S +166°36.7708’E +, on algae on rock, + +11–13 m + +, coll. +G.D.

The male genital capsule of the species is similar to + +M. quadrata + +but is distinguished by the considerably shorter and medially narrower uncus, the longer vinculum, and the somewhat broader valva with a shorter and narrower distal section of the valva having a more rounded dorsal corner. The phallus of + +M. andamana + +is shorter and narrower than in the similar congener, and with a markedly more elongate, thumb-shaped coecum. Compared to + +M. quadrata + +, the vesica of the current species is broader (in proportion to the genital capsule size), having a narrower and conical terminal diverticulum (it is semiglobular in the congener), and bearing three cornuti (vs. two cornuti in + +M. quadrata + +).

However, it displays clear differences in the genitalia of both sexes from the Himalayan + +M. dharma + +and therefore is upgraded herein to species level. +(2) +Leech ([1889] 1888) described the species based on a couple from +Nagasaki +and a male from “ +Japan +” without exact locality data, of which only a female +syntype +from +Nagasaki +was located in the +NHMUK +collection. In order to stabilise the nomenclature, the aforementioned specimen is hereby designated as the +lectotype +. + + + + +Diagnosis +. The forewing length is +9.5–10.5 mm +in males and 11.0– +11.5 mm +in females. + +Miltochrista butleri + +is reminiscent of + +M. dharma + +but differs in the thinner forewing markings. The male genital capsule of the species is distinguished from + +M. dharma + +by the shorter uncus, the proximally narrower but distally broader valva with a less convex dorsal margin, the considerably longer distal costal process, and the markedly longer and upcurved distal saccular process (whereas it is straight in the congener). The phallus of + +M. butleri + +is broader than in + +M. dharma + +and having a larger coecum. Compared to + +M. dharma + +, the vesica of + +M. butleri + +is broader and having a lateral subbasal diverticulum (absent in the congener), and a markedly longer and broader medial diverticulum bearing a markedly larger blade-like cornutus and directed dorsally whereas in + +M. dharma + +, the medial diverticulum is directed distally. Additionally, the distal cornutus positioned at the base of the vesica ejaculatorius is considerably longer and broader in + +M. butleri + +in comparison to + +M. dharma + +. The male genitalia of + +M. butleri + +are most similar to the superficially dissimilar + +M. parallelinaformis + +( +Figs 24 +, +106 +) but the genital capsule differs from the latter in somewhat shorter and narrower uncus, the medially narrower valva with a distally thinner distal costal process, and the longer and proximally narrower distal saccular process.

Compared to + +M. parallelinaformis + +, the vesica of + +M. butleri + +has a considerably longer and broader medial diverticulum directed dorsally (it is directed distally in + +M. parallelinaformis + +), and a narrower cornutus on the distal diverticulum. As the female of + +M. parallelinaformis + +is unknown, the female genitalia of + +M. butleri + +were compared only to + +M. dharma + +, from which they are distinguished by the considerably shorter antrum, the markedly longer and broader corpus bursae with a longer posterior sclerotised area forming a prominent sclerotised lateral protrusion and inwardly edged with a longer cluster of markedly longer spines, and the presence of the postero-lateral cluster of robust spinules. Additionally, in + +M. butleri + +, the lateral sclerotised plates of the 7 +th +sternite bearing scales of the corethrogyne are significantly longer than in + +M. dharma + +, and their lateral sclerotised pockets are large and heavily sclerotised whereas they are reduced in the congener. + + + + +Distribution +.
