Tentatively included in this group but not addressed here, - -Hebius xenura -(Wall) - -, which has also 19 DSR at midbody and dorsal blotches, differs from - -Hebius igneus - - -spec. nov. - -by (1) its undivided subcaudals (vs. divided in - -H -. -igneus - -), (2) fewer subcaudals, i.e., 92–105 vs. 115–129, and (3) its ventral pattern, pale with tips of ventrals dark vs. venter overall dark. - - -As shown above, - -Hebius annamensis - -, - -H. chapaensis - -, - -H. nigriventer - -, - -H. venningi - -, and - -H. taronensis - -have 17 DSR at midbody (or -15 in - -H. annamensis - -) vs. -19 in - -Hebius igneus - - -spec. nov. - -Furthermore, - -H. annamensis - -and - -H. venningi - -have a venter largely pale mesially or, in - -H -. -venningi - -, pale mesially on the anterior part of the body, clouded with darker hues of brown on the outer parts of ventrals and entirely clouded posteriorly. - - -Among the other two species of this group with 19 DSR at midbody, - -Hebius igneus - - -spec. nov. - -differs from - -H. modestus - -by (1) dorsal scales before the base of the tail and supracaudal scales just after strongly keeled vs. weakly keeled in - -H. modestus - -, (2) slightly more ventrals, 159–169 VEN vs. 143–163, (3) venter overall dark brown, blackish-brown or black, with either pale irregular streaks or with several parallel, connected rows of dark blotches separated from each other by a narrow, irregular pale area vs. venter pale ochre-brown or pale brown on a wide central area, broadly edged with dark brown or blackish-brown on the outer quarter of ventrals, rarely nearly overally dark except on its anterior part, (4) a dorsolateral series of bright orange, coral or rusty red blotches, distinctly enlarged behind the neck and at least on the anterior half of the body, then progressively smaller but always visible vs. a more or less conspicuous, ochre-yellow, ochre-red, orange-brown or reddish-brown stripe, often reduced to a succession of elongate blotches on the anterior part of the body, and (5) a dark postocular streak present vs. no such streak. - - -Lastly, - -Hebius igneus - - -spec. nov -. - -is more similar to - -H. deschauenseei - -, from which it differs as follows: (1) supracaudal scales around the base of the tail strongly keeled vs. weakly keeled in - -H -. -deschauenseei - -, (2) Ratio TaL/TL, 0.30–0.33 vs. 0.33–0.38, (3) venter overally dark after the 5 -th– -8 -th -ventrals, i.e., dark brown, blackish-brown or black, with 4 or 5 parallel, connected rows of dark blotches separated from each other by a narrow, irregular pale area vs. venter never entirely dark along its whole length, creamish-yellow or pale yellowish-grey with three parallel stripes of aligned dark blotches separated from each other by a pale area in - -H. deschauenseei - -, (4) dorsal surface and sides dark brown, dark chestnut-brown or blackish-brown vs. olive-brown, olive-grey or greyish-brown, (5) dorsolateral blotches, distinctly enlarged behind the neck and at least on the anterior half of the body, then progressively smaller but always distinct vs. dorsolateral blotches not as enlarged anteriorly and progressively smaller and united, forming a dorsolateral stripe, and (6) a dark postocular streak present vs. postocular streak absent or barely visible. - - -Although it is a juvenile with a rather pale venter anteriorly, specimen FMNH 271591 from -Nan Province -, -Thailand -, is here referred to - -Hebius igneus - - -spec. nov. - -, and not to - -H -. -deschauenseei - -. Its strongly keeled scales in the region of the base of the tail (vs. weakly keeled), its ventral pattern, overally black, and its dorsal pattern are typical of - -H. igneus - - -spec. nov -. - - - -Etymology -.—The specific nomen is the Latin adjective - -igneus - -( -a -, -um -) which means “in fire”.

About 43% of its area is used for log extraction and cassiterite mining activities (https://www.gov.br/agricultura/pt-br/assuntos/servico-florestal-brasileiro/ concessao-florestal/concessoes-florestais-em-andamento-1/floresta-nacional-do-jamari-ro). The sampling in this conservation unit was performed at six sites ( +Fig. S8A +), but + +Ibotyporanga + +was only found on a granite rock outcrop, which is dominated by exposed rock and scattered low vegetation adapted to drier conditions ( +Figs 22B and S +9A–B +). In the surrounding forest, we found several genera of +Pholcidae +usually encountered in humid Brazilian forests ( + +Metagonia + +, + +Mesabolivar + +, + +Litoporus + +), but no +Ninetinae +. On the outcrop, + +Ibotyporanga + +was found by turning rocks. Upon turning the rocks, the spiders ran rapidly, making them difficult to catch. + + +The conservation status of this species should be formally assessed. From satellite images ( +Fig. S8 +), we estimate its extent of occurrence (EOO) to be about +0.13 km +², i.e., the rock outcrop area. The sampling site is less than 100 meters from a mining site (Taboquinha) inside the conservation unit ( +Fig. S9B +). The mining activities are active and currently under expansion, getting closer to the rock outcrop ( +Fig. S9 +). This dynamic potentially decreases habitat quality, threatening + +Ibotyporanga kanoe + +sp. nov. +to extinction. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/55/2A/E7/552AE709E873FFB4F404FA4864848419.xml b/data/55/2A/E7/552AE709E873FFB4F404FA4864848419.xml index a5f40abd79c..466619da0b2 100644 --- a/data/55/2A/E7/552AE709E873FFB4F404FA4864848419.xml +++ b/data/55/2A/E7/552AE709E873FFB4F404FA4864848419.xml @@ -1,80 +1,80 @@ - - - -Diamonds in the rough: Ibotyporanga (Araneae, Pholcidae) spiders in semi-arid Neotropical environments + + + +Diamonds in the rough: Ibotyporanga (Araneae, Pholcidae) spiders in semi-arid Neotropical environments - - -Author + + +Author -Huber, Bernhard A. -33607F65-19BF-4DC9-94FD-4BB88CED455F -Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, LIB, Bonn, Germany. -b.huber@leibniz-lib.de +Huber, Bernhard A. +33607F65-19BF-4DC9-94FD-4BB88CED455F +Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, LIB, Bonn, Germany. +b.huber@leibniz-lib.de - - -Author + + +Author -Meng, Guanliang -7E8C41F8-77BB-468F-BE9A-D3F1DFCA1E4E -Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, LIB, Bonn, Germany. -G.Meng@leibniz-lib.de +Meng, Guanliang +7E8C41F8-77BB-468F-BE9A-D3F1DFCA1E4E +Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, LIB, Bonn, Germany. +G.Meng@leibniz-lib.de - - -Author + + +Author -Král, Jiří -E836F3B5-D704-4EEC-966A-0C4F1FAD324B -Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. -spider@natur.cuni.cz +Král, Jiří +E836F3B5-D704-4EEC-966A-0C4F1FAD324B +Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. +spider@natur.cuni.cz - - -Author + + +Author -Ávila Herrera, Ivalú M. -E3687584-7F64-450D-9492-BE0DD4864AD6 -Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. -avilai@natur.cuni.cz +Ávila Herrera, Ivalú M. +E3687584-7F64-450D-9492-BE0DD4864AD6 +Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. +avilai@natur.cuni.cz - - -Author + + +Author -Carvalho, Leonardo S. -28AA7D67-3C9D-495E-8C17-33D35F1A0FAC -Campus Amílcar Ferreira Sobral, Universidade Federal do Piauí, Floriano, Piauí, Brazil. -carvalho@ufpi.edu.br +Carvalho, Leonardo S. +28AA7D67-3C9D-495E-8C17-33D35F1A0FAC +Campus Amílcar Ferreira Sobral, Universidade Federal do Piauí, Floriano, Piauí, Brazil. +carvalho@ufpi.edu.br -text - - -European Journal of Taxonomy +text + + +European Journal of Taxonomy - -2024 - -2024-10-18 + +2024 + +2024-10-18 - -963 + +963 - -1 -169 + +1 +169 - -https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2687/12427 + +https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2687/12427 -journal article -10.5852/ejt.2024.963.2687 -2118-9773 -13963130 -BA331360-A678-4233-A7CC-7308EF8B6D7E +journal article +10.5852/ejt.2024.963.2687 +2118-9773 +13963130 +BA331360-A678-4233-A7CC-7308EF8B6D7E @@ -176,7 +176,7 @@ also by absence of median sclerite in internal genitalia. - + BRAZIL – @@ -187,10 +187,7 @@ also by absence of median sclerite in internal genitalia. ; Jussara , - -Toca -da Esperança - +Toca da Esperança ; 11.033° S , @@ -212,7 +209,7 @@ leg.; - + BRAZIL – @@ -239,36 +236,32 @@ a.s.l.

Tibia +1 in +38 other males: 1.03–1.43 (mean 1.17). +One male +from Floriano (CHNUFPI 5052) is unusually large (tibia 1 length 1.43, other males 1.03–1.30) but other than that, there is no indication that it might be misplaced in this species. The species delimitation analysis supported the conspecificity of the five sequenced specimens from five localities ( +Fig. S7 +). The K2P distances among them ranged from 0.3% to 4.2% ( +Table S1 +). + + +Female + + +In general, similar to male but slightly darker and dark marks more distinct; clypeus and sternum unmodified; tibia 1 with few vertical hairs; tibia 1 length in +58 females +: 1.17–1.53 (mean 1.37); a few females from Serra da Capivara (CHNUFPI 372, 4044, 4045) and from Floriano (CHNUFPI 5054) are unusually large (tibia 1 length 1.54–1.83) but other than that, there is no indication that they might be misplaced in this species. Epigynum ( +Fig. 87A–B +) anterior plate semicircular to trapezoidal, posterior margin almost straight, with distinct anterior pocket ( +Fig. 5E +); posterior plate short and simple.

The species does not seem to cross the São Francisco River into +Bahia +; we found it at several localities just north of the river in +Pernambuco +, but at none of four localities sampled just south of the river in +Bahia +. + + + +Natural history + + + +At the +type +locality, the spiders were found in a highly degraded thorny shrubland along a dirt road ( +Fig. 23F +), where they were abundant under stones, together with another +Ninetinae +spider, an undescribed species of + +Kambiwa + +. The second locality listed above, W of Orocó, was a well-preserved caatinga; the same two species of +Ninetinae +were extremely abundant at this site. The third locality, NE of Cabrobó, was a large granite outcrop with scattered shrubs and stones on bare rock ( +Fig. 22F +); again, both species of +Ninetinae +shared the same microhabitat. In Floriano and Teresina, this species has also been found in and around houses, usually males wandering at night. Several specimens were found under arenite rocks in shrubby caatinga (São João da Fronteira and Canto do Buriti), arboreal caatinga (Crato) or cerrado sensu stricto vegetation (Castelo do +Piauí +, Cocal, and Piracuruca), with different levels of preservation. At Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara, the specimens were found among or under small pebbles in an arenite rock outcrop, at a preserved shrubby caatinga vegetation site. +Eight egg +sacs were round but slightly flattened, had diameters of 1.7–2.2, and egg diameters of 0.58–0.62; the total number of eggs per egg sac was estimated to be ~15–30. + + + +Fig. 87. + +Ibotyporanga sertao +Huber + +sp. nov. +A–B +.

They were found both under rocks in areas fully exposed to the sun and in dead pieces of wood and cacti in the shrubland. The second locality (NE of Brumado) was a marble outcrop surrounded by arboreous caatinga on clayish soil; most specimens were found by turning rocks in the shrubland. At both localities, the microhabitat was shared with another species of +Ninetinae +tentatively placed in + +Kambiwa + +. +Three egg +sacs had diameters of ~1.8 and contained ~15– +18 eggs +each, with egg diameters of 0.55–0.57. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/55/2A/E7/552AE709E8ABFF6CF476FDD9649784D4.xml b/data/55/2A/E7/552AE709E8ABFF6CF476FDD9649784D4.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..5716243f367 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/55/2A/E7/552AE709E8ABFF6CF476FDD9649784D4.xml @@ -0,0 +1,405 @@ + + + +Diamonds in the rough: Ibotyporanga (Araneae, Pholcidae) spiders in semi-arid Neotropical environments + + + +Author + +Huber, Bernhard A. +33607F65-19BF-4DC9-94FD-4BB88CED455F +Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, LIB, Bonn, Germany. +b.huber@leibniz-lib.de + + + +Author + +Meng, Guanliang +7E8C41F8-77BB-468F-BE9A-D3F1DFCA1E4E +Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, LIB, Bonn, Germany. +G.Meng@leibniz-lib.de + + + +Author + +Král, Jiří +E836F3B5-D704-4EEC-966A-0C4F1FAD324B +Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. +spider@natur.cuni.cz + + + +Author + +Ávila Herrera, Ivalú M. +E3687584-7F64-450D-9492-BE0DD4864AD6 +Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. +avilai@natur.cuni.cz + + + +Author + +Carvalho, Leonardo S. +28AA7D67-3C9D-495E-8C17-33D35F1A0FAC +Campus Amílcar Ferreira Sobral, Universidade Federal do Piauí, Floriano, Piauí, Brazil. +carvalho@ufpi.edu.br + +text + + +European Journal of Taxonomy + + +2024 + +2024-10-18 + + +963 + + +1 +169 + + + + +https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2687/12427 + +journal article +10.5852/ejt.2024.963.2687 +2118-9773 +13963130 +BA331360-A678-4233-A7CC-7308EF8B6D7E + + + + + +Ibotyporanga ouro +Huber + +sp. nov. + + + +urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: +F163AD8E-9921-4EC6-9032-E1F39ED7F1F5 + + + +Figs 73G +, +96 +, +117–120 + + + + + +Diagnosis + + + +Distinguished from similar congeners (with split procursus with long dorsal branch; long male palpal patella, i.e., dorsally>1.8×as long as medially wide; wide epigynum, i.e.,>1.9 ×as wide as long; distinct epigynal pocket, i.e., narrow and relatively deep; and sclerite in female internal genitalia) by combination of: procursus main and dorsal branches proximally with relatively wide space between them in lateral view ( +Fig. 118C +); male palpal tarsus with large dorsal hump (arrow in +Fig. 118C +); and median sclerite in female internal genitalia without posterior constriction ( +Figs 119C +, +120B–C +); from + +I. itajubaquara + +sp. nov. +and + +I. kiriri + +sp. nov. +also by tip of dorsal branch of procursus with distinct ‘buckle’, i.e., not evenly curved ( +Fig. 118C +).
