Illustrated descriptions of adult male, pupa and fourth instar larva, as well as DNA barcoding results of Hydrobaenus golovinensis sp. nov. in comparison with closely related species H. majus Makarchenko et Makarchenko and H. sikhotealinensis Makarchenko et Makarchenko from the Russian Far East are provided. Partial mitochondrial COI gene (DNA barcoding) of the new species has been sequenced and uploaded to GenBank. Comparisons with corresponding regions of COI between H. golovinensis and other species in the genus produce K2P genetic distances of 10.3–14.3%, the values well above those associated with intraspecific variation. In contrast, genetic distances among 18 specimens are all within the range of 0–3.5%. The ML tree is also constructed using DNA barcodes obtained in the present study and those of other species of Hydrobaenus Fries from GenBank.

Illustrated redescription of adult male and description for the first time of pupa and fourth instar larva, as well as DNA barcoding, of Hydrobaenus laticaudus Sæther in comparison with close related known species of Hydrobaenus Fries, and an updated part of a key to species of Hydrobaenus from the Russian Far East are provided. A reference 658 bp barcode sequence from a fragment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I (COI) was used as a tool for species delimitation. For the estimation of interspecific distances and constructing detailed Bayesian tree within Hydrobaenus, we have obtained DNA barcoding for the two other species, H. distinctus and Hydrobaenus sp.1. The intraspecific sequence divergence of H. laticaudus based on the Kimura-2-parameter (K2P) distance ranged from 0.0–0.031, whereas the interspecific sequence divergence based on the K2P distance ranged from 0.106-0.197% between H. laticaudus and other species of genus Hydrobaenus. The well-supported monophyly as well as results of an ABGD analysis confirms the validity of H. laticaudus.

Illustrated descriptions of the adult male, pupa and fourth instar larva, as well as DNA barcoding results of Chaetocladius (Chaetocladius) elisabethae sp. nov. in comparison with closely related species of Chaetocladius s. str. from the Moscow Region are provided. A reference 658 bp barcode sequence from a fragment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I (COI) was used as a tool for species delimitation. Comparisons with corresponding regions of COI between C. (s. str.) elisabethae sp. nov. and other species of the subgenus produced K2P genetic distances of 0.11–0.16, values well associated with interspecific variation. The barcodes of the new species were identical to the Chaetocladius sp. 2ES in BOLD systems. Molecular data were also used for the reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships within the subgenus Chaetocladius s. str.

DNA barcoding, based on sequence diversity in the mitochondrial COI gene, has proven an excellent tool for identifying species in many animal groups. Here, we report the first barcode studies for freshwater zooplankton from Mexico and Guatemala and discuss the taxonomic and biological implications of this work. Our studies examined 61 species of Cladocera and 21 of Copepoda, about 40% of the known fauna in this region. Sequence divergences among conspecific individuals of cladocerans and copepods averaged 0.82% and 0.79%, respectively, while sequence divergences among congeneric taxa were on average 15-20 times as high. Barcodes were successful in discriminating all species in our study, but sequences for Mexican Daphnia exilis overlapped with those of D. spinulata from Argentina. Our barcode data revealed evidence of many species overlooked by current classification systems —for example, based on COI genotypes the Diapahanosoma birgei group appears to include 5 species, while Ceriodaphnia cf. rigaudi, Moina cf. micrura, Mastigodiaptomus albuquerquensis and Mastigodiaptomus reidae all include 2–3 taxa. The barcode results support recent taxonomic revisions, such as recognition of the genus Leberis, and the presence of several species in the D. birgei and Chydorus sphaericus complexes. The present results indicate that DNA barcoding will provide powerful new insights into both the incidence of cryptic species and a better understanding of zooplankton distributions, aiding evaluation of the factors influencing competitive outcomes, and the colonization of aquatic environments.

Development of effective conservation and management strategies requires assessments of ecosystem biodiversity status, especially in understudied hotspots of global fish diversity. Coral reefs are important habitats for fishes, with biodiversity hotspots known globally. We present the first data on molecular diversity of fishes of Mischief Reef, the largest atoll in the Nansha Islands. Partial sequences (650 bp) of mitochondrial COI gene (Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) are used to identify 209 individuals, representing 101 species, referable to 62 genera, 27 families, 8 orders, and 1 class. The most abundant orders are the Perciformes (176 specimens, 84.21%), Tetraodontiformes (13 specimens, 6.22%), and Beryciformes (13 specimens, 6.22%). Mean Kimura 2-Parameter genetic distances within genera, families, and orders are 4.51, 13.90, and 17.63%, respectively. We record Monotaxis heterodon from this region for the first time—a species that may previously have been misidentified as M. grandoculis. In addition, we recognized possible cryptic species of Lethrinus olivaceus based on significantly diverging barcode sequences. Barcode data provide new insights into fish diversity of Mischief Reef, important for developing further researches on this fauna, and for its conservation.
