Biogeographical Region

Four new species of the genus Atopsyche Banks (Hydrobiosidae) from Pantepui biogeographical region (Venezuela) are described and illustrated: Atopsyche (Atopsaura) inmae n. sp., Atopsyche (Atopsaura) cristinae n. sp., Atopsyche (Atopsaura) svitoki n. sp., and Atopsyche (Atopsaura) carmenae n. sp. Molecular analyses (cox1 sequences) allowed larva-adult associations and the morphological description of larvae of two of the new species (A. inmae and A. cristinae). A phylogenetic tree is performed to assess the molecular validity of the species, establish evolutionary relation among them and interpret historical biogeography of tepuis. Finally, two new distributional records for A. (Atopsaura) atahuallpa are included, which up to now was known only from the type locality.

A New Species

  The newly described species, Ziziphus budhensis was confirmed as Chinese Jujuba, Z. xiangchengensis on the basis of their DNA analyses. Z. budhensis was explained as a new species on the basis of some morphological differences in 2015. In the Year 2016, the DNA samples were collected from the type locality of Nepal, and the molecular analyses were carried out. The type specimens and the other available images from the different herbariums were examined. Besides, the protologue and the type images were studied carefully. The result showed that though there were some differences in the habit and the habitat of the plant, the previously described new species, Z. budhensis was found to be same as the Chinese species, Z. xiangchengensis. This study also showed the importance of the molecular work of Z. budhensis and confirmed it morphologically distinct although it was very close to the Chinese species.Banko Janakari, Vol. 27, No. 1, page: 55-59

A New Species

The identification of Auricularia species has previously relied on the examination of macroscopic features of mushroom samples collected in Thailand. These features may vary with age, light exposure, moisture and other factors, making such identification prone to error. This study uses morphological characteristics and molecular data to improve upon previous classifications of Auricularia species. Fruiting bodies collected during recent field excursions and previous collections from herbaria were examined and sequenced for two loci, viz. ITS and rpb2. Auricularia asiatica is described as a new species based on both morphological characteristics and molecular data, and is introduced with a full description, illustrations and colour photographs. Auricularia cornea and A. villosula are described as new records from Thailand. A combined ITS and rpb2 phylogenetic tree is provided, showing the placement of five Auricularia species found in Thailand.

Four nominal southern Brazilian species of Gonyleptinae are studied: Geraecormobius clavifemur (Mello-Leit„o, 1927), Mischonyx meridionalis (Mello-Leit„o, 1927), Ariaeus tuberculatus S¡¥rensen, 1932 and a new species of Geraecormobius Holmberg, 1887. Mischonyx meridionalis and Ariaeus tuberculatus are herein considered junior subjective synonyms of Geraecormobius clavifemur. Ariaeus S¡¥rensen, 1932 is herein considered a junior subjective synonym of Geraecormobius. New records are recorded for G. clavifemur, hitherto known only from the type locality, Blumenau, Santa Catarina state, Brazil. Geraecormobius reitzi n. sp., is described from Santa Catarina state, Brazil and considered closest to G. clavifemur, based upon general aspects of external morphology. The two species occur at different altitudes. G. clavifemur inhabits the lower part of the Atlantic Plateau of Santa Catarina at 0 to 300 m, whereas Geraecormobius reitzi n. sp. occurs at higher elevations.

A second species of the microstigmatid spider genus Envia Ott & Höfer, 2003 is described from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. A new diagnosis, new records and notes on intra-specific variation in the tibial apophysis of the first leg of the male Envia garciai Ott & Höfer, 2003 are also provided. Males of Envia moleque n. sp. are readily recognizable by the copulatory bulb with a strong apical spine on weakly differentiated paraembolic apophysis and by tibia I lacking an apophysis, which is instead represented by a modified retroventral apical spine in the type species. Females can be recognized by the spermathecae with globose distal receptaculum. Both known species in the genus are sympatric at least at the UFAM Experimental Farm, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, the type locality of the new species.

Living Species

The whip spider genus Sarax Simon, 1892 is widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia and part of the Indo-Malayan region. The genus is recorded from several Indonesian islands, but no species are known from inside the area that comprises the biogeographical region of Wallacea, despite being recorded from both sides of the area. An expedition to survey the biology of caves in Timor-Leste (formerly East-Timor) discovered populations of amblypygids living underground and including a remarkable new species of Sarax, S.timorensissp. n., the first Amblypygi known from the island of Timor. The new species is here described bears the unique character state of two pairs of lateral eyes, instead of three or none as in all other living species of Amblypygi, and expands the biogeographic range of the genus. New records of amblypygids are given for two caves in Timor-Leste. A detailed description and a discussion of its distribution and the species characters are also provided.

A New Species

A new species of the Neoperla diehli subgroup of the montivaga group, N. curvilobata sp. nov., is described from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China. The first country records for N. diehli Sivec, 1985 and N. hubleyi Stark & Sivec, 2008 from China are given. Neoperla wui Yang & Yang, 1990 is reported again from the type locality. Neoperla mesostyla Li & Wang, 2013 (in Wang et al. 2013b) is placed as a synonym of N. wui. Illustrations and color images are provided for each species and the new species is compared with related congeners of the N. diehli subgroup. A provisional key to the known species of the N. diehli subgroup is also presented.

This paper reports on two species of callianassid ghost shrimps collected from reducing environments in Japan. Cheramuscavifrons n. sp. is described on the basis of five specimens from an invertebrate community associated with mass sinkingof whale carcasses implanted off Cape Nomamisaki, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, at depths of 219–254 m. This newspecies is compared with Cheramus spinophthalmus (Sakai, 1970), Callianassa aqabaensis Dworschak, 2003 andCallianassa acutirostella Sakai, 1988. The generic assignment of the new species is provisional, reflecting the flux stateof the taxonomy of the family. Nihonotrypaea thermophila Lin, Komai & Chan, 2007, originally described fromhydrothermally influenced field off northeastern Taiwan, is first recorded from outside the type locality, based on a singlespecimen from hydrothermally influenced field in Kagoshima Bay, where the siboglinid tube worm Lamellibrachia satsuma Miura, Tsukahara and Hashimoto, 1997, is abundant.
