It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 due to exceptional richness in fauna and flora. Indeed, based on several criteria including species diversity, endemism, presence of rare species, and / or endangered and critical habitats, the Tai National Park is considered a priority for the conservation of mammals, birds, amphibians, and invertebrates in West Africa ( +Reizebos et al. 1994 +). + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/16/DE/4D/16DE4DECC4825E719F2A4A01F691D6A6.xml b/data/16/DE/4D/16DE4DECC4825E719F2A4A01F691D6A6.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..8aa3bdbbd5d --- /dev/null +++ b/data/16/DE/4D/16DE4DECC4825E719F2A4A01F691D6A6.xml @@ -0,0 +1,475 @@ + + + +Revision of the orb-weaving spider genus Yaginumia Archer, 1960 (Araneae, Araneidae) from China + + + +Author + +Mi, Xiaoqi +0000-0003-1744-3855 +College of Agriculture and Forestry Engineering and Planning, Guizhou Provincial Key Laboratory of Biodiversity Conservation and Utilization in the Fanjing Mountain Region, Tongren University, Tongren 554300, Guizhou, China + + + +Author + +Wang, Cheng +0000-0003-1831-0579 +College of Agriculture and Forestry Engineering and Planning, Guizhou Provincial Key Laboratory of Biodiversity Conservation and Utilization in the Fanjing Mountain Region, Tongren University, Tongren 554300, Guizhou, China + + + +Author + +Su, Ming +Central South Inventory and Planning Institute of National Forestry and Grassland Administration, Changsha 410007, Hunan, China + +text + + +ZooKeys + + +2025 + +2025-01-06 + + +1223 + + +169 +184 + + + +journal article +10.3897/zookeys.1223.139465 +52BDCEAA-AE32-4D82-B646-84E3F02A2EA2 + + + + + +Yaginumia qiong +Mi & Wang + +sp. nov. + + + + +Figs 3 +, +4 +, +7 + + + + +Type material. + + + + +Holotype + +: +China +– +Hainan Province +, • +♂ +; +Lingshui Li Autonomous County +, +Diaoluoshan National Nature Reserve +, +Popular Science Base +; + +18 ° 40.25 ' N +, +109 ° 53.66 ' E + +; ca + +260 m + +elev.; + +26.

From the dorsal colouration + +S. rotundus + +is near to the Australian + +S. bakewellii bakewellii + +(Figs +1 +, +46 +) which is generally more elongated. Furthermore, both species can be separated by the shapes of their median lobes (Figs +12 a, b +, +22 a, b +). + + + + +Distribution. + + +Indonesia +: northern and +central Sulawesi +including Togian Islands (Fig. +27 +). Specimens were collected between 30 and +300 m +a. s. l. + + + + +Habitat. + + + +Sandracottus rotundus + +seems to be restricted to stagnant water bodies in primary lowland forests of northern and +central Sulawesi +and their adjacent islands. All specimens on Kaldiri Island were obtained from muddy forest pools (depths up to +30 cm +) and from shallow water of a forest lake not far from the sea. According to Jan Haft (pers. comm. 1998) those pools were frequently used and probably created by Babirusas [ + +Babyrousa togeanensis +(Sody, 1949) + +] (Fig. +45 +). Co-occurring species include the rare + +Cybister aterrimus +Régimbart, 1899 + +, + +Hydaticus +species + +of the +pacificus +group, and some unidentified + +Copelatus + +. + + + + +Conservation. + + +A rare species recorded from a very restricted area in +Indonesia +. Most probably the species is associated with the declining primary lowland rainforests on the island +Sulawesi +. It is recommended to be listed in the next IUCN red list. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/34/3D/D3/343DD3A1284B592D9958B561F475B882.xml b/data/34/3D/D3/343DD3A1284B592D9958B561F475B882.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..b5aa9ce6423 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/34/3D/D3/343DD3A1284B592D9958B561F475B882.xml @@ -0,0 +1,870 @@ + + + +A never-ending story: updated 3 D cyber-taxonomic revision of the ant genus Zasphinctus Wheeler (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Dorylinae) for the Afrotropical region + + + +Author + +Hita Garcia, Francisco +0000-0003-4709-3083 +Center for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery, Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Berlin, Germany & Biodiversity and Biocomplexity Unit, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University, Onna-son, Japan + + + +Author + +Gómez, Kiko +0000-0003-4748-157X +Garraf, Barcelona, Spain + + + +Author + +Keller, Roberto A. +0000-0003-2751-9761 +Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência and CE 3 C - Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes and CHANGE - Global Change and Sustainability Institute, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal + + + +Author + +Schurian, Bernhard +0000-0001-6855-9941 +Center for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery, Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Berlin, Germany + + + +Author + +Economo, Evan P. +0000-0001-7402-0432 +Biodiversity and Biocomplexity Unit, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University, Onna-son, Japan + +text + + +ZooKeys + + +2025 + +2025-01-06 + + +1223 + + +1 +55 + + + +journal article +10.3897/zookeys.1223.131238 +974E3C3D-A08E-42CB-B75E-D7A329B1B715 + + + + + +Zasphinctus lumumbai +Hita Garcia & Gómez + +sp. nov. + + + + +Figs 3 D +, +4 D +, +5 D +, +6 D +, +7 D +, +8 D +, +10 D +, +11 D +, +12 D +, +13 D +, +14 D +, +15 D +, +16 D +, +17 D +, +18 D +, +19 D +, +20 D +, +21 D +, +22 + + + + +Type material examined. + + + + +Holotype + +• +Pinned +worker, +Democratic Republic of Congo, Equateur +, +Mabali +, +Tsuhapa River +(Bikoro Terr.), +Foret Inondée +, +Humus +, collection code ANTC 39356, + +IX. 1959 + +( + +N.

Surface very slightly but distinctly shagreened, with very dense punctation; punctures small, less impressed than on head. Anterior puncture line broadly interrupted in middle, punctures large and strongly coalescent. Posterior puncture line with large and coarsely impressed punctures on middle of each side, building distinct wrinkles. +Elytra black, shiny. Epipleura black. Surface distinctly shagreened and covered with double punctation; smaller punctures with very small and dense punctures, larger one with much more sparser ones. Puncture lines with groups of medium-sized punctures mostly grouped by five or six punctures; discal row almost complete and strongly impressed. Sutural puncture line incomplete, marked only by few punctures along suture. +Ventral side black. Legs black. Prosternal process almost flat, short and broad, lanceolate, 1.4 × longer than broad, flattened and finely but distinctly sculptured; posterior margin broadly rounded. Metatibial spurs bifid. Metatibia with sparse medium-sized punctures on whole surface. Setae along posterior margin of middle femora sparse and ~ 2 / 3 of the width of mesofemora at the base. Ventrites II – VI very superficially shagreened, distinctly longitudinally wrinkled on whole lateral parts, densely covered with very small punctures and with very large sparser ones. Posterior margins rounded, deeply bordered with a row of large and coalescent punctures on the middle of each side along the margin. Outer margin of metaventral wings curved. Metacoxal lines short, not reaching apices of metacoxal processes. + +Measurements: +TL += 14.4–15.0 mm, +TL-h += +13.5–13.6 mm +, +TW += +8.35–8.8 mm +. + + +♂ +.

Parameres slightly longer than median lobe, broad and pointed at apex (Fig. +20 b +). + + +♀ +. Similar to male. Microsculpture on ventrite VI as in male. + + + + +Differential diagnosis. + +This species can be easily separated from all other species by its completely black dorsal surface and the shape of the median lobe. + + + +Distribution. + + +Sri Lanka +, only known from the +type +locality (Fig. +29 +). + + + + +Habitat. + + +The only +three specimens +were collected at Nuwara Eliya, a hill resort in the mountains of central +Sri Lanka +. From German and British botanists of the last century the area was well-known for tropical peatland habitats with many unique and endemic plants (e. g., +Keilhack 1915 a +). Impressive black and white photographs of such peatland pools in central +Sri Lanka +can be seen in +Keilhack (1915 b +). Today the area is mostly cultivated and drained. The completely black dorsal surface and venter of + +S. jaechi + +may be an adaptation for woodland or peatland ponds and puddles with dark bottoms, decaying leaves, or sedges but no vegetation. + + + + +Conservation. + +This is a highly endangered if not extinct species. It is by far the rarest species of the genus with a very limited distribution. It is recommended to be listed in the next IUCN red list. + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/41/DA/75/41DA750FA9AA520B9DB84C0E4CB7A500.xml b/data/41/DA/75/41DA750FA9AA520B9DB84C0E4CB7A500.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..4a208ef462a --- /dev/null +++ b/data/41/DA/75/41DA750FA9AA520B9DB84C0E4CB7A500.xml @@ -0,0 +1,387 @@ + + + +A never-ending story: updated 3 D cyber-taxonomic revision of the ant genus Zasphinctus Wheeler (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Dorylinae) for the Afrotropical region + + + +Author + +Hita Garcia, Francisco +0000-0003-4709-3083 +Center for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery, Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Berlin, Germany & Biodiversity and Biocomplexity Unit, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University, Onna-son, Japan + + + +Author + +Gómez, Kiko +0000-0003-4748-157X +Garraf, Barcelona, Spain + + + +Author + +Keller, Roberto A. +0000-0003-2751-9761 +Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência and CE 3 C - Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes and CHANGE - Global Change and Sustainability Institute, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal + + + +Author + +Schurian, Bernhard +0000-0001-6855-9941 +Center for Integrative Biodiversity Discovery, Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Berlin, Germany + + + +Author + +Economo, Evan P. +0000-0001-7402-0432 +Biodiversity and Biocomplexity Unit, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University, Onna-son, Japan + +text + + +ZooKeys + + +2025 + +2025-01-06 + + +1223 + + +1 +55 + + + +journal article +10.3897/zookeys.1223.131238 +974E3C3D-A08E-42CB-B75E-D7A329B1B715 + + + + + +Zasphinctus ndouri +Hita Garcia & Gómez + +sp. nov. + + + + +Figs 3 E +, +4 E +, +5 E +, +6 E +, +7 E +, +8 E +, +10 E +, +11 E +, +12 E +, +13 E +, +14 E +, +15 E +, +16 E +, +17 E +, +18 E +, +19 E +, +20 E +, +21 E +, +28 + + + + +Type material examined. + + + + +Holotype + +• +Pinned +worker, +Senegal +, +Kedougou +, +Neménick +, +Niokolo Koba +10 +Km W +( +Niokolo Koba NP +), savannah, +Winkler +, + +13.0764 +, +- 12.78196 + +, collection code KG 05413, + +1. - 30.

However, + +P. cercidis + +has been reported on + +Cercis canadensis + +in the +USA +( +Phillips et al. 2008 +), revealing differences from + +P. laricinum + +in terms of both geographic region ( +China +) and host ( + +Larix + +). The new species can be distinguished from other known species based on conidial characteristics (Table +3 +). Specifically, + +P. laricinum + +conidia are aseptate and can be differentiated from other species in the genus, except for + +P. negundinis + +, + +P. quercicola + +, and + +P. spiraeae + +. Furthermore, they can be distinguished by conidial color (dark brown) from + +P. quercicola + +(hyaline). Additionally, the conidial size of + +P. laricinum + +(27.5–37 × 10–18 μm) is significantly larger than that of both + +P. negundinis + +(16–24.5 × 7.9–11.5 μm) and + +P. spiraeae + +(21–28.5 × 8.5–13.5 μm). Moreover, + +P. laricinum + +(L / W = 2.3 ± 0.3) can be distinguished by its larger conidial L / W ratio when compared to the new species + +P. longiparaphysium + +(L / W = 1.7 ± 0.2) (Table +3 +). Phylogenetically, + +P. laricinum + +is distinct from other + +Phaeobotryon +species + +, which are grouped within a separate clade that receives high support ( +MP +/ +ML +/ +BI += 100 / 100 / 1) (Fig. +1 +).
