Three New Species

The present study reports three new species of Ostracoda, Loxoconcha damensis sp. nov., Xestoleberis vietnamensis sp. nov. and X. munensis sp. nov., from Phu Quoc Island, southwest Vietnam and Nha Trang Bay, central Vietnam. These species inhabit the coral reefs around isolated islands and can be easily distinguished from other known species based on their morphological differences, mainly in the male copulatory organ. Loxoconcha damensis sp. nov. belongs to Loxoconcha Group A, based on the distributional pattern of their pore system below the eye tubercle. Similarly, based on a combination of morphological types of pore systems, the two new Xestoleberis species belong to Xestoleberis Group A, because these species have two types of pore systems, i.e., sieve-type and lip-type. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first report on Xestoleberididae and the second on Loxoconchidae from the Recent of Vietnam.

Twenty-six species of endogean beetles are recorded from the Marganai-Oridda-Valle del Leni area, belonging to six different families: Carabidae (Typhloreicheia holdhausi Magrini, Fancello & Casale, 2006, T. leoi pilosa Magrini & Fancello, 2007, T. tanit Leo, Magrini & Fancello, 2005), Leiodidae [Bathysciola damryi (Abeille de Perrin, 1881)], Staphylinidae [Eudesis aglena Reitter, 1882, E. minima Binaghi, 1948, Mayetia sp., Trimium amplipenne Reitter, 1908, Tychobythinus dentimanus (Reitter, 1884), Tychus sp., Pselaphostomus sp., Phloeocharis ichnusae Dodero, 1900, Octavius raymondi Saulcy, 1878, O. sardous Coiffait, 1965, four new species of Entomoculia, three new species of Leptotyphlus], Zopheridae (Langelandia reitteri Belon, 1882, Lyreus septemstriatus Fancello & Leo, 1991), Curculionidae (Torneuma sp.) and Raymondionymidae [Alaocyba carinulata Perris, 1869, Raymondiellus sardous sardous (Perris, 1869)]. One species (Langelandia reitteri) is W-Mediterranan, one is a Sardo-Corsican endemic (Tychobythinus dentimanus), the remaining 24 species are all Sardinian endemics and 16 of these are strictly localized within the study area or restricted to SW Sardinia. The following species of Staphylinidae Leptotyphlinae are described: Entomoculia villascemae sp. nov., E. carbonaria sp. nov., E. shardana sp. nov., E. melonii sp. nov., Leptotyphlus nardii sp. nov., L. minator sp. nov. and L. villacidrinus sp. nov.; all are easily distinguishable from their congeners by the structure of the male copulatory organ and female genital armature. The morphology of the copulatory organ in the newly described Leptotyphlus species indicates that the classical subgeneric categories used in Leptotyphlus are probably based on characters not reflecting a natural subdivision of the genus.

Three New Species

Neodiplectanum Mizelle & Blatz, 1941 is resurrected and emended for monogenoids from the gills of gerreid hosts from Western Atlantic: Neodiplectanum wenningeri from Eucinostomus gula (Quoy & Gaimard) [type-host] and Gerres cireneus (Walbaum); N. magnodiscatum (Fuentes Zambrano, 1997) n. comb. (syn. Diplectanum magnodiscatum Fuentes Zambrano, 1997) from Eugerres plumieri (Cuvier); Neodiplectanum gatunense (Mendoza Franco, Roche & Torchin, 2008) n. comb. (syn. D. gatunense Mendoza Franco, Roche & Torchin, 2008) from Eugerres brasilianus (Cuvier); N. mexicanum (Mendoza Franco, Roche & Torchin, 2008) n. comb. (syn. D. mexicanum Mendoza Franco, Roche & Torchin, 2008) from Diapterus rhombeus (Cuvier). Neodiplectanum is characterized for diplectanids with male copulatory organ and accessory piece non-articulated, heavily sclerotised vaginal atrium, ventral anchors with deep root twice as long as superficial root, dorsal anchors with conspicuous superficial and deep roots and squamodiscs with spinelike rodlets in the posterior rows. Darwinoplectanum n. gen. is proposed for species with male copulatory organ articulated to the accessory piece, vaginal opening sinistral, marginal or submarginal; non-sclerotised vagina atrium; and egg ovate with short filament. Here, we described three new species of Darwinoplectanum n. gen. from the gills of gerreid hosts from the Eastern and/or Western Atlantic: Darwinoplectanum figueiredoi n. gen. n. sp. [type species] from Eucinostomus argenteus Baird & Girard; D. amphiatlanticus n. gen. n. sp. from Eucinostomus melanopterus (Bleecker)[Type host] from Africa, and E. argenteus from Brazil; and D. pilittae n. gen. n. sp. from G. cireneus.

Three New Species

Three new species of Urocleidoides Mizelle & Price, 1964 are described from the gills of characiform fishes in the Tocantins River and its tributaries. Urocleidoides boulengerellae sp. nov. is described from Boulengerella cuvieri (Spix & Agassiz, 1829) and differs from all its congeners by the dorsal bar with a long posteromedial projection; male copulatory organ with 2–3 counterclockwise rings and a base with a flange; an accessory piece comprising a robust Y-shaped unit and a sheath-like unit; and a highly sclerotized vaginal canal. Urocleidoides paratriangulus sp. nov., described from Psectrogaster amazonica Eigenmann & Eigenmann, 1889, Cyphocharax gouldingi Vari, 1992, Caenotropus labyrinthicus (Kner, 1858) and Mylesinus paucisquamatus Jégu & Santos, 1988, is most similar to Urocleidoides triangulus (Suriano, 1981) Rossin & Timi, 2016 based on the shape of the anchors and bars but differs from U. triangulus in the morphology of the projection of the dorsal bar, the number of rings of male copulatory organ, and by the smaller size of members of hook pairs 1 and 5 compared with those of the remaining pairs. Urocleidoides tocantinensis sp. nov. is easily distinguished from all other species of the genus by the morphology of the vagina, which present a vaginal vestibule with a membranous cap. Urocleidoides triangulus is reported from its type host in the Guandu River, state of Rio de Janeiro. The present study increases the number of Urocleidoides species to 37 recognized species that fit all the generic characters.

Three New Species

The genus Aspidistra Ker-Gawler (1822 plate 628), overlooked for decades, is recently remarkably fast growing. During the past decade, about 90 species new to science were discovered and described, mainly from southern China, Vietnam, and Laos. With its diversity in flower morphology Aspidistra is among the most spectacular genera of Monocotyledons. Vietnam turned out to be especially rich in Aspidistra species (Tillich 2014), and at, least 30 additional species were discovered and described recently in this country (Averyanov & Tillich 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, Leong-Skornickova et al. 2014, Vislobokov et al. 2014a, b, 2016a, b, 2017, Vislobokov 2015, 2016, Olivier 2015, Averyanov et al. 2016, 2017, 2018a, b, Nguyen et al. 2017, Tillich et al. 2017, Tillich & Averyanov 2018). Meanwhile, the diversity of the genus in Vietnam remains insufficiently inventoried. Below we describe three more new species from central Vietnam.

Microscopy Examination

The genus Setosella included to date six species. After revision, only four of these species were retained, i.e. S. vulnerata, S. cavernicola, S. folini and S. spiralis. The remaining two species were tentatively placed in Woodipora, W.? antilleana n. comb., and Andreella,  A.? fragilis n. comb. On the other hand, scanning electron microscopy examination of Mediterranean material, revealed the presence of three new species previously included in species complexes: S. cyclopensis n. sp. from the open-shelf, S. rossanae n. sp. from submarine caves, and S. alfioi n. sp. from deep-waters. The diagnosis of the genus was amended to include the occurrence of kenozooids in S. cyclopensis n. sp. and S. cavernicola, and of free-living ring-shaped and scorpioid colonies in S. folini and S. alfioi n. sp. All the seven species n           1ow in Setosella have present-day representatives; the geographic distribution of the genus 1sinian of southern Italy and insular Greece, with only three species occasionally and discontinuously reported. All species are able to produce numerous, subsequent intramural buds and morphological differences seem to be consistently associated with exploitation of particular habitats and substrata.

We describe three new species of Pristimantis leaflitter frogs from the upper Amazon basin of Ecuador: Pristimantis achuar, Pristimantis altamnis, and Pristimantis kichwarum. Each of these new species was previously considered to be part of a single species, formerly known as Eleutherodactylus ockendeni (Boulenger) morph B. However, analysis of DNA sequences together with examination of the morphology of more than 600 specimens from Ecuador reveals that multiple species were confused under the same name. The morphological differences among the three new species are subtle but consistent: presence or absence of a black canthal stripe and/or supratympanic ridge, snout-vent length, and ventral colouration. The three species are generally allopatric and geographically restricted, although at some localities two of the species occur sympatrically.Describimos tres especies nuevas de ranas del sotobosque de la cuenca Amazónica Ecuatoriana: Pristimantis achuar, Pristimantis altamnis y Pristimantis kichwarum. Estas especies fueron consideradas antes como una sola especie bajo el nombre Eleutherodactylus ockendeni (Boulenger) morfo B. Sin embargo, el análisis de secuencias de ADN y la examinación de la morfología de más que 600 especímenes Ecuatorianos indican que en realidad existen tres especies. Sus diferencias morfológicas son sutiles pero constantes: presencia o ausencia de una raya cantal negra y/o de un pliegue supratimpánico y su coloración ventral. Las tres especies tienen distribuciones alopátricas y distintas aunque en algunas localidades se puede encontrar dos de las tres especies juntas.

Three New Species

The European and Mediterranean species of the Acalyptris platani and A. staticis groups are revised, with respectively four and six species. Three new species are described: A. pistaciae Van Nieukerken sp. n. (from Greece, Cyprus and Turkey, on Pistacia) in the platani group, A. limoniastri Van Nieukerken sp. n. (from Algeria and Tunisia, associated with Limoniastrum) and A. lesbia Van Nieukerken & Hull sp. n. (from Greece: Lesvos, on Limonium gmelini) in the staticis group. Lectotypes are selected for A. minimella (Rebel, 1924) and A. staticis (Walsingham, 1908). The European species of the A. platani group are leafminers on Anacardiaceae, Platanaceae and Loranthaceae, the species of the A. staticis group feed on Plumbaginaceae, except A. pyrenaica A. & Z. Laštůvka, for which the host is unknown, but likely to belong to another family. Immatures are described for five species, final instar larvae and pupal exuviae for all species in the A. platani group and for A. lesbia. Larvae and pupae of the latter species differ markedly from the A. platani group. Recorded parasitoids are listed. CO1 barcodes are provided for seven species. The groups are phylogenetically not very close; the monophyly of Acalyptris and the phylogeny on the basis of CO1 (mt-DNA) sequences are discussed.
