    Additions to the genus Hemacroneuria Enderlein (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from China

    Li, WeihaiMo, RaoraoMuranyi, David
    10页
    查看更多>>摘要：Two new species of the perlid genus Hemacroneuria Enderlein, 1909, H. elongata sp. nov. and H. ovalis sp. nov. are described from Sichuan and Zhejiang provinces of China, respectively. A poorly known Sichuan species, H. spatulata (Wu 1948) comb. nov. is transferred from Kiotina Klapalek, 1907 to Hemacroneuria, and an additional species known only from a female is reported by an informal designation Aedeagal structures of Hemacroneuria males are described in detail for the first time and are useful for the separation of the genus from other genera of the Acroneuriinae. The taxonomic relationships of the new species are discussed.

    查看更多>>摘要：A new species of white-spotted moray eel Gymnothorax smithi sp. nov. is described based on flute specimens collected from the southeastern Arabian Sea, India. This is the first deep water report of a moray eel from Indian waters from 200 in depth. This new species is distinguishable from its congeners by the following combination of characters: greyish brown body overlain with white spots of irregular shape, dorsal-fin origin anterior to gill opening, anus positioned slightly behind the mid-point of the body, serrated teeth and a unique vertebral count 3-5 /57/130-132.

    Alburnus zagrosensis, a junior synonym of Alburnus sellal (Teleostei: Leuciscidae)

    Eagderi, SoheilNikmehr, NasrinFreyhof, Joerg

    查看更多>>摘要：Morphometric, meristic and molecular (COI) characters of Alburnus zagrosensis, from the upper Karun River drainage in Iran, largely overlap or are identical with those of A. sellal, a species widely distributed in the Qweik River and the Persian Gulf basin, including the Karim River drainage. As no character states could be found to clearly distinguish these species, A. zagrosensis should be treated as a junior synonym of A. sellal.

    Discovery of the sponge-associated caridean genus Paralebbeus in New Zealand and southeastern Australia: P. pegasus sp. nov. (Crustacea: Decapoda: Thoridae)

    Ahyong, Shane T.
    9页
    查看更多>>摘要：Deepwater sampling in New Zealand and southern Australian waters over the past two decades has significantly improved knowledge of all invertebrate groups, including decapod crustaceans. Thorid shrimps of the genus, Paralebbeus Bruce & Chace, 1986 are associated with deepwater hexactinellid sponges, with four species known to date from scattered localities in the southwestern Indian Ocean, northwestern Australia, Southeast Asia and the northwestern Pacific including Japan. Paralebbeus pegasus sp. nov. is described from New Zealand and southeastern Australia. representing the first record of the genus from the temperate southwestern Pacific. The new species of Paralebbeus is unique in the genus for having meral spines on pereopods 3-5. A key to the species of Paralebbeus and global distribution map are provided.

    查看更多>>摘要：A new species of the genus is described from Zhejiang, China in this paper. The new species Criotettix zhejiangensis sp. nov. is similar to Criotettix sirivertexoides Zheng, Wei & Li, 2009, but differs in antennae placed the lower margin of eye, head exserted above the pronotal surface, lateral keels in prozona slightly contracted backward, upper margin of pronottun not waved in lateral view, width of tegmen 1.2 times width of mid leg femur and lower side of hind femur not black. The new species is also similar to Criotettix strivertex Zheng, Wei & Li, 2009, it differs from latter by head exserted above the pronotal surface, upper margin of pronotum not waved in lateral view, lower side of mid femur straight, width of tegmen 1.2 times width of mid leg femur and length of hind femur 3.1 times its width. The type specimens are deposited in the College of Life Sciences, Hebei University, Baoding, China.

    Molecular phylogeny, biogeography, and conservation status of the Texas-endemic freshwater mussel Lampsilis bracteata (Bivalvia, Unionidae)

    Porto-Hannes, IsabelBurlakova, Lyubov E.Karatayev, Alexander Y.Lasker, Howard R....
    15页
    查看更多>>摘要：Lampsilis bracteata (Gould), the Texas Fatmucket, is a regional endemic species in the central Texas biogeographic province which is a candidate to be listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Lampsilis bracteata is morphologically similar to the common species L. hydiana (Lea). Here, we examine the molecular taxonomic identification of L. bracteata, and compare its historical range with its current geographic distribution. Tests of genetic affinities based on two mitochondrial genes typically used for DNA barcoding (cytochrome oxidase subunit 1, COI and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1, ND1) support recognition of L. bracteata as a full species. An unexpected spin-off result was that ND1 sequences of L. satura (Lea), a threatened species in Texas, formed a highly supported cluster within putative L. cardium Rafinesque. As an endemic species, the distribution of L. bracteata has been historically restricted; however, poor land and water management practices have further reduced its distribution from eighteen to just eight streams in the Colorado River drainage and to one stream in the Guadalupe River drainage. For L. bracteata, as for many other imperiled freshwater mussel species, effective conservation measures rely on correct species identification, definition of its geographic range and assessment of its changes in the recent past.
