Abstract The Stegana (Steganina) shirozui species group is mainly distributed in East Asia. In the present study, the molecular phylogeny of the S. shirozui group was investigated based on mitochondrial (COI and ND2) and nuclear (28S rRNA) markers. The resulting trees support the S. shirozui group as monophyletic and indicate that in this group, species associated with closer affinities show higher structural homogeneity in male genitalia. Molecular species delimitation assess most species limits and recognize four new species in the S. shirozui group from south-west China: S. alianya sp. nov., S. diodonta sp. nov., S. zebromyia sp. nov. and S. zopheria sp. nov. One new synonym was also recognized. Additionally, three typical male genital characters of the S. shirozui group were placed on the molecular phylogenetic framework. The outcome of both divergence-time estimation and ancestral area reconstruction suggests that the S. shirozui group likely originated in south-west China in the Middle Miocene.

Abstract The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia, but its evolutionary history has long been debated. So far no robust biological evidences can be found to crack this mystery. Here we reconstruct spatiotemporal and diversification dynamics of endemic East Asian cyprinids based on a largest molecular phylogeny of Cyprinidae, including 1420 species, and show that their ancestors laying adhesive eggs were distributed in southern East Asia before ~24 Ma, subsequently dispersed to the Yangtze River to spawn semi-buoyant eggs at ~19 Ma. This indicates that the Yangtze River diverted eastward around the Oligocene-Miocene boundary. Some of these cyprinids evolved again into fishes producing adhesive eggs at ~13 Ma, together with a peaked net diversification rate, indicating that the river formed a potamo-lacustrine ecosystem during the Mid-Miocene. Our reconstruction of the history of the Yangtze River has higher time resolution and much better continuity than those deriving from geological studies.

Two New Species

Two East Asian Lomariopsis (Lomariopsidaceae, Polypodiales) species, Lomariopsis moorei and Lomariopsis longini, which were previously misidentified as L. spectabilis, are here described as new species based on evidence from morphological characters and a molecular phylogeny. The two species differ from the three other described species in East Asia by their venation, pinna shapes, and perine morphology. A phylogeny based on a combined dataset of three chloroplast regions (rbcL+ rps4-trnS + trnL-L-F) showed that L. moorei and L. longini each formed a well-supported monophyletic group which was distantly related to both L. spectabilis and the other morphologically similar East Asian species, L. boninensis.

Salvia Linnaeus (1753: 23) (tribe Mentheae, subfamily Nepetoideae) is by far the largest genus of Lamiaceae with approximately 1000 species (Alziar 1988–1993). Molecular phylogeny researches demonstrate that the genus is polyphyletic, and the clade “Salvia” in effect includes four distinct lineages, with intercalation of five other genera of tribe Mentheae (Walker et al. 2004, Walker & Sytsma 2007, Takano & Okada 2011, Will & Claßen-Bockhoff 2014). East Asia is one of three centers of diversity of Salvia with approximately 100 species (Walker et al. 2004), 82 species are native to China (Li & Hedge 1994, Hu et al. 2014). Additionally, S. coccinea Buc’hoz ex Etlinger (1777: 23) and S. tiliifolia Vahl (1794: 3), which are native to Central and South America, have naturalized successfully in China (Li & Hedge 1994, Hu et al. 2013).

Abstract The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia, but its evolutionary history has long been debated, in particular the origin of the First Bend and formation of the Three Gorges. Diverse groups of endemic freshwater fishes have evolved in this river. Here we present the historical, spatiotemporal pattern of the endemic East Asian cyprinid clade based on the largest molecular phylogeny of Cyprinidae, including 1420 species and fossil records. Based on the evolution of egg types adapting to different hydrological conditions, we show that the ancestors of this endemic clade (laying adhesive eggs) were distributed in southern East Asia before ~24 Ma and subsequently dispersed to the Yangtze River basin to spawn semi-buoyant eggs at ~19 Ma. These results are consistent with the Yangtze River reversing its flow direction from southward to eastward to form the present river system around the Oligocene-Miocene boundary (~24–19 Ma). Some East Asian cyprinids evolved into fishes producing adhesive eggs again at ~13 Ma. This together with an increased net diversification rate, indicates that the river formed a potamo-lacustrine system during the Mid-Miocene. This new reconstruction of the history of the Yangtze River system through Cyprinidae phylogeny, together with the evolution of egg types in endemic East Asia cyprinids, improves the time resolution derived from geological studies.

Variable Species

AbstractTwo new species of Bryoria are described based on morphology, chemistry and molecular phylogeny (ITS and Mcm7). Both species belong in section Bryoria, which was resolved as a polyphyletic group in the ITS+Mcm7 phylogeny. Bryoria alaskana belongs to a clade restricted to South-East Asia and north-west North America, and is so far known from south-east Alaska and the Sino-Himalayan Mountains. This highly variable species is most reliably recognized by its pendent, esorediate thallus, its production of fumarprotocetraric acid, and the combination of isotomic branching, abundant, whitish, predominantly fusiform pseudocyphellae, and sparse, short perpendicular side branches. Black emorient patches are lacking. Bryoria irwinii is endemic to north-west North America and is closely related to B. araucana from South America, B. poeltii from South-East Asia, as well as B. nadvornikiana and B. trichodes, both widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. It is a subpendent, esorediate species recognized by its predominantly anisotomic branching, olivaceous hue, black emorient patches, conspicuous pale brownish, fusiform pseudocyphellae, and numerous perpendicular, more or less basally constricted, side branches.
