These two species were included in a matrix with 35 characters and 32 taxa and were analyzedboth with all characters having same weight and with implied weights. Searches considering all characters non-additive or some additive were also carried out. The preferred tree, obtained with implied weights, concavity 6 and all characters non-additiveshows that Pterinopelma is a monophyletic genus sister to the clade Lasiodora (Vitalius + Nhandu). The presence of denticles on the prolateral inferior male palpal bulb keel is a synapomorphy of the genus.

One species, Z. lusitanicum, is newly recorded for Spain. In total 46 zodariid species are known from the Iberian Peninsula to date, of which 22 species are recorded from Portugal and 35 species from Spain. New faunistic records and distribution maps are given for another 18 zodariid taxa, either in the Iberian Peninsula or Madeira: Amphile-dorus balnearius, Selamiareticulata, Zodarion alacre, Z. algarvense, Z. atlanticum, Z. costablancae, Z. duriense, Z. fuscum, Z. gregua, Z. jozefienae, Z. machadoi, Z. maculatum, Z. marginiceps, Z. merlijni, Z. pseudoelegans, Z. styliferum styliferum, Z. styliferum extraneum, andZ. viduum.

    Taxonomic revision of one of the Old World's smallest frogs, with description of a new Bornean Microhyla (Amphibia, Microhylidae)

    查看更多>>摘要：An examination of the holotype of Microhyla borneensis Parker 1928 revealed that this nomen applies to a miniaturized narrow-mouthed frog from Borneo that recently was described as Microhyla nepenthicola Das & Haas 2010. This is confirmed concordantlyby body size of the female holotype of M. borneensis, and by its reduced extent of toe webbing and rather rounded, short snout profile. Consequently, the name M. nepenthicola is to be considered as a junior synonym of M. borneensis, and an old report ofnepenthiphilous breeding habits of M. borneensis is therefore justified. A sympatric larger species usually treated as M. borneensis has no scientific name and is described here as M. malang sp. nov. The new species and M. borneensis are sister to eachother, and together are closely related to M. mantheyi from Peninsular Malaysia. These three species are morphologically very similar, but can be distinguished by body size, color pattern, and extent of toe webbing. Phylogenetic relationships, miniaturization, and larval oral morphology in the genus Microhyla are discussed.

    Comments on new names and nomenclatural acts of amphibians and non-avian sauropsids established by Garsault 1764 and Laurenti 1768 (response to Dubois & Bour 2010)

We have a substantially deviating interpretation of the ICZN Code concerning the involved names and nomenclatural acts. We see no major problem in regarding most of Laurenti's (1768) species-group names that were published as separate words ("technically trinominal names") as consistent with the Principle of Binominal Nomenclature. Presence or absence of a hyphen in a compound specific name is not a criterion for binominality, instead the grammatical relationships of the separate words have to be analysed for eventually forming a "single entity" as demanded by Art. 11.9.5. Dubois & Bour (2010) proposed a new procedure for the treatment of early genus-group names which were originally established without species included. We do not think this proposal is in accordance with the ICZN Code, and recommend to use the names Bufo, Salamandra, Scincus and Viper a in the widely accepted sense and simply shift authority and date of these four names from Laurenti (1768) to Garsault (1764).In two cases we regard nomenclautural acts published by Dubois & Bour (2010) as risky. The widely used names Hyla Laurenti, 1768 (Amphibia) and Natrix Laurenti, 1768 (Squamata) are threatened because Dubois & Bour (2010) validly and unnecessarily fixed type species for the senior synonyms Ranetta Garsault, 1764 and Serpens Garsault, 1764, and at the same occasion missed to protect Hyla and Natrix effectively under Art. 23.9.2. They intended to protect the names under Art. 23.9.1.2, but instead of meeting the requirement to "give evidence" that the conditions were met, they gave only indirect references to general bibliographical lists. We regard this as ineffective as would be a general reference to the Zoological Record or any other bibiographical work. These two important generic names should be protected effectively under Art. 23.9.2, by citing 25 publications and not only one, before someone uses the names Ranetta and Serpens at one occasion deliberately or undeliberately in a current classification, and suppressing them validly under Art. 23.9.2 would not be possible any more. The same applies to Triturus cristatus (Laurenti, 1768) (Amphibia: Salamandridae) and Podar-cis muralis (Laurenti, 1768) (Squamata: Lacertidae).

    A new species of prickleback Ernogrammus zhirmunskii (Acanthopterygii: Perciformes: Stichaeidae) from the Sea of Japan, Russia

    查看更多>>摘要：A new stichaeid fish, Ernogrammus zhirmunskii is described on the basis of the specimens collected in Peter the Great Bay, the Sea of Japan. This new species differs from its congeners E. hexagrammus and E. walkeri in having seven body sensory canalsin total number including one short canal in the middle of belly and unique combination in number of the anal fin rays with one short rigid spine posteriormost (128-301). In coloration the fish has one narrow white stripe between two wide black ones on the base of pelvic fin, and one dark blotch on the dorsal fin anteriorly.

    A new species of Dossenus Simon, 1898 (Araneae, Trechaleidae) from Northern Brazil

    查看更多>>摘要：The genus Dossenus Simon, 1903 was revised by Silva et al. (2007) and includes two species: D. marginatus Simon, 1898 (type-species) (Trinidad-Tobago, Colombia, Peru, Brazil) and D. guapore Silva, Lise & Carico, 2007 (Panama, Colombia, Brazil). Silva& Lise (2010) recently described and illustrated the male of D. guapore from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Members of this genus are characterised by the median dark brown band on the carapace extending to the abdomen, the spoon-like shape of the median apophysis on the male palpus resembling that of Enna O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897 and the female epigynum, which has a slightly projected scape (Silva et al. 2007).
