The size of the adult male and female appear consistent with Wu’s (1929) description of this species as “small”, which is aligns with the etymological nature of the species name +“minor +”. + + + +The +information for the types of + +N. minor + +are as follows: +holotype +male, +allotype +female, co-type +2 males +and +2 females +: +Yuan Sie +[= +Yun Qi +, +云% +, spelled as +Yün Ch’ee +in +Wu (1938) +; ca. +30.1929N +, +120.0882E +]; + +July 5 1928 + + +; Chu’s +Plecoptera +Collection. +Other specimens +: +4 males +, +13 females +, Loong-tsin [= Longjing or Dragon Well, +AE井 +, locality unclear, ca. +30.1929N +, +120.0882E +or +30.1763N +, +119.1341E +], +July 5 1928 +; +4 females +, Hangchow College Hangchow College Campus, +July 10 1928 +; +1 male +, Mao Kya Bu [= Maojiabu, +ẓẋệ +; ca. +30.2459N +, +120.1321E +], +July 4 1928 +. The collection time and location of our specimens are similar to the original records. Therefore, we believe that this species collected from Tianmu Mountain is the true + +N. minor + +. + + +We also found that the description and illustrations of + +N. yao + +( +Stark 1987 +; + +Wang +et al +. 2013 + +) from +Vietnam +(Da Lat, +Gia Lai +) and +China +( +Guangdong +, +Guangxi +) are consistent with our morphological redescription of + +N. minor + +from +Zhejiang +for both male and female adults. In addition to this, we collected specimens of + +N. yao + +in +Guangdong +and found that its aedeagal structure is consistent with that of + +N. minor + +.

The genus + +Terenochiton +Iredale, 1914 + +could be maintained ( +Sirenko 1973 +, 1988, 1993; Sirenko +et al. +2022) and several groups of morphologically similar species were recognized ( +Sirenko 2015 +). The genus + +Leptochiton + +in its traditional composition is polyphyletic according to molecular studies ( + +Sigwart +et al. +2011 + +). The new genus can be compared with the remaining + +Leptochiton +species + +forming groups of species that are similar to each other. The new genus + +Kaasichiton + + +n. gen. + +resembles the group of + +Leptochiton rugatus + +(Carpenter in +Pilsbry, 1892 +). This group of chitons consisting of six species inhabits the northern part of the Pacific Ocean ( +Sirenko & Sigwart 2021 +, 2022), including the areas inhabited by species of the new genus. + +Kaasichiton + + +n. gen. + +differs from the + +L. rugatusgroup + +by having a head valve, which is always wider than the tail valve ( +vs +head valve is narrower than the tail valve in species of +L. rugatus- +group), a wide, flattened posterior mucro on the postmucronal area ( +vs +a narrow mucro, commonly on the anterior postmucronal area in species of the +L. rugatus- +group), a very narrow perinotum, which is 9–10 times narrower than the width of the fifth valve ( +vs +the perinotum is only 4–5 times narrower than the valve in species of the +L. rugatus- +group), a weak tegmentum sculpture ( +vs +distinct sculpture in species of the + +L. rugatusgroup + +), and wing-shaped first lateral teeth ( +vs +narrow, oar-shaped first lateral teeth in species).

I did not find the +holotype +neither in this museum ( +Stekolnikov 2018 +), nor in the personal collection of Vercammen-Grandjean (Stekolnikov 2019). Its original description included only a brief diagnosis (diagnostic formulas), measurements, and the drawings of gnathosoma, scutum, idiosomal and coxal setae, tarsalae I and II, tarsus and tibia of leg III. The new material differs from the original description in fPp = B/B/BNB vs. B/B/BBB, sensilla nude vs. ciliated ( +Vercammen-Grandjean 1965a +, pl. ZZ, 9), shorter scutal setae (AM 37–39 vs. 46, AL 25–26 vs. 30, and PL 37–38 vs. 48), and less projected posterior scutal margin (PSB 27 vs. 32; see also pl. ZZ, +9 in +the original description). Taking into account a small total number of specimens and a suboptimal quality of slides, I estimate these differences as insufficient to describe a new species. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/79/7C/3C/797C3C79FF88FFD5FF33526AFB1BFB1B.xml b/data/79/7C/3C/797C3C79FF88FFD5FF33526AFB1BFB1B.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..ca5387ebc42 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/79/7C/3C/797C3C79FF88FFD5FF33526AFB1BFB1B.xml @@ -0,0 +1,896 @@ + + + +Revision of South African chiggers (Acariformes: Trombiculidae) originated from the collection of R.

Taxonomic significance of these differences is unclear; examination of a new material is required to establish if the South African +R +. + +( +T +.) +cadei + +deserves the status of species or subspecies. Somewhat shorter PL (54–59 vs. 64), H (50–54 vs. 64), and D +max +(47–49 vs. 58) in the examined specimens fit the usual range of the intraspecific variation in chiggers. Some setae of the palpal tarsus look nude in the examined specimens vs. well-branched in the figure from the original description, but this could be caused by a suboptimal quality of the slides from NM. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/9E/46/4E/9E464E0BFFC5FFB8FF393E93FB0AF8FB.xml b/data/9E/46/4E/9E464E0BFFC5FFB8FF393E93FB0AF8FB.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..fe8ea4a36f7 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/9E/46/4E/9E464E0BFFC5FFB8FF393E93FB0AF8FB.xml @@ -0,0 +1,251 @@ + + + +Eudesis tenuissima sp. n. on Italian Peninsula (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae) + + + +Author + +Jałoszyński, Paweł + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2024 + +2024-08-07 + + +5492 + + +4 + + +589 +595 + + + + +http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5492.4.7 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5492.4.7 +1175-5326 +13269110 +E1B452F1-5893-43F7-825C-D6B535E2518E + + + + + + + +Eudesis tenuissima + +sp. n. + + + + + + +( +Figs 1‒15 +) + + + + +Type material. + + +Holotype +: + +( + +ITALY +): + +♂ +, four labels: “ + +8.4.1985 + +- leg. +S.

However, these two species have the different numbers of toes, four in the new species and three in + +H. lata lens + +, which is one of the most important diagnostic characteristics that assigns each species to the different genus, + +Philodina + +and + +Habrotrocha + +, respectively. In addition, there are significant differences in the morphology of the feeding head between these two species. + + +This new species is easily distinguished from its congeners by the first trunk pseudosegment expanded anteriorly in feeding as well as the plump trunk that has wavy lateral margins and abruptly tapers to rump in feeding. + +Philodina megalotrocha +Ehrenberg, 1832 + +also has very round trunk and narrow rump in feeding. However, + +P. megalotrocha + +has two eyespots and short feeding head, which are otherwise in this new species. + +Philodina nitida nitida +Milne, 1916 + +is the most similar congener of this new species in the general morphology as well as the partial CO1 sequence (Supplementary +Figure 3 +). However, this new species can be distinguished from + +P. n. +nitida + +by the following characteristics: (1) + +P. undulata + +n. sp. +doesn’t have eyespots, while + +P. n. +nitida + +has two small eyespots, (2) the ratio of corona width to cingulum width is about 1.05: 1–1.1: +1 in + +P. undulata + +n. sp. +, while it is 1.23: 1–1.26: +1 in + +P. n. +nitida + +, (3) teeth is 3/ +3 in + +P. undulata + +n. sp. +, while it is 3+1/1+ +3 in + +P. n. +nitida + +, (4) interspace between spurs is about twice as wide as spur base width in + +P. undulata + +n. sp. +, while it is slightly wider than spur base width in + +P. n. +nitida + +, (5) the ratio of head width to rostrum width is 1.7: 1–2.0: +1 in + +P. undulata + +n. sp. +, while it is about 2.3: +1 in + +P. n. +nitida + +, and (6) the lateral margins of trunk of + +P. n. +nitida + +are not as wavy as those of + +P. undulata + +n. sp. +( +Donner 1965 +; +Milne 1916 +; +Song & Lee 2023 +). + + + + +Description. +No eyespots. Trunk lightly granulated. Rostrum fingertip-shaped and slightly longer than its width; rostrum narrower than head width in creeping; the ratio of head width to rostrum width in creeping 1.7: 1–2.0: 1. Rostral lamella bilobed and with narrow interspace; each lobe round and small; interspace narrower than each lobe width; with radial cilia. Corona very slightly wider than cingulum; the ratio of corona width to cingulum width 1.05: 1–1.1: 1. Trochal discs slightly inclined inwardly; base of sensory hair hemispherical and rather big. Pedicel short; big hump on inner half of pedicel dorsally. Sulcus much narrower than pedicel width; the ratio of pedicel width to sulcus width about 1.5: 1. Disc retractor V-shaped and with round base ( +Fig. 6d +). Upper lip arched, rather truncated medially and without median notch; anterior margin rather flat or slightly concave depending on the degree of contraction and relaxation of feeding head; anterolateral margins round; higher or slightly lower than disc retractor base depending on the degree of contraction and relaxation of feeding head; much lower than trochal discs. Each end of cingulum rather convex. Cingulum pad very slightly narrower than cingulum; lateral margins round medially. Antenna long and with two pseudosegments; slightly shorter than height of pseudosegment bearing antenna in creeping. Pharyngeal tube shorter than trophi length both in creeping and in feeding. Teeth 3/3. First trunk pseudosegment expanded anteriorly and abruptly tapering to posterior part in feeding; first trunk pseudosegment flat bowl-shaped in frontal view anteriorly; trunk rather cylindrical in creeping and spindle-shaped in feeding; lateral margins wavy; granulated longitudinal ridges wavy except middle ones; trunk abruptly tapering to rump posteriorly. Rump much narrower than greatest trunk width especially in feeding; slightly constricted anteriorly and then gradually tapering to foot in creeping; plump medially in feeding. Foot narrower than rump and tapering gradually to pseudosegment bearing toes; with four pseudosegments; foot short and about 1/6 of total body length in creeping. Four toes thin. Spurs finger-shaped, thin and long; lateral margins of spurs gradually tapering to blunt ends; interspace width much wider than spur base width; the ratio of interspace width to spur base width about 2: 1. + + +Measurements. +Total length in creeping 174–209 μm.
