The Status

The Port Elizabeth Museum herpetology collection contains 407 type specimens, representing 70 primary and 55 secondary squamate types. The type series comprise 93 African taxa (84 lizards and 9 snakes), of which 75 are still regarded as valid. It is the third largest primary reptile type collection in Africa. This is the first catalogue of this important African squamate type collection. It provides the original name, original publication date, journal volume number and pagination, reference to illustrations, current name, museum collection number, type locality, and notes on the status of all types and important additional non-type material mentioned in historical descriptions. Photographs of all primary types, as well as original illustrated material are provided.

The catalogue of type specimens of the phyla Acanthocephala, Nematoda and Rotifera deposited in the Invertebrate Collection of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA), Manaus, Brazil, is presented and updated to July, 2005. A total of three holotypes and six lots of paratypes of three species of Acanthocephala; nine holotypes and 16 lots of paratypes of nine species of Nematoda; and 12 holotypes, six lectotypes, nine lots of paratypes and five lots of paralectotypes of 23 species and subspecies of Rotifera are listed. Specific and subspecific names are listed alphabetically within family, followed by bibliographic citation, original genus name, status of type, collection number, locality data (host and site of infection for parasitic species), and remarks where appropriate. A list of references containing the papers in which the taxa were first described is furnished.

The goal of MicroWEX-3 was to understand the land-atmosphere interactions during the growing season of cotton, and their effect on observed microwave brightness signatures at 6.7 GHz, matching that of the two satellite-based microwave radiometers (AMSR-E and AMSR).

While verifying the status of alleged type specimens in the holdings of the U.S. National Arboretum Herbarium (NA; herbarium codes following Thiers [2020]), the first author (HTS) discovered a specimen of Allium perdulce S.V.Fraser (1939: 124), the gathering “Fraser 72,” that had several contradictory type annotations on the sheet. Additional study of the label and the protologue revealed that the specimen at NA was not a single gathering, as defined by the International Code of Nomenclature (Turland et al. 2018; Art. 8.2), but rather a mixed collection from different dates and locations. The protologue of A. perdulce states that the type specimen was deposited in the herbarium at Kansas State University (KSC) with “cotypes” being sent to GH, US, and NA, but no additional information about the type collection was provided. Thus, type material was sought at KSC to verify if the specimen at NA was in fact part of the type collection.

Species Being

Euconophron was described over a century ago and includes over 120 nominal species, being the third largest subgenus of Euconnus. However, its diagnosis remains unclear. Western Palaearctic species seem to form a homogenous group characterized by emarginate or bifurcate aedeagal apex, whereas exotic members of this subgenus show a great diversity in external and genital characters. Moreover, Scopophus, a Nearctic subgenus of Euconnus, and at least some species placed in Euconnus s. str. outside Europe seem to be very similar to Euconophron. In the present paper the status of Euconophron and Scopophus is verified on the basis of morphological structures of their type species, i.e., Scydmaenus promptus Coquerel (the type species of Euconophron) and Euconnus affinis Casey (the type species of Scopophus), each represented by respective type specimens. It is concluded that: i) the redescription of Scydmaenus promptus published by H. Franz was based on a misidentified specimen; ii) Euconophron can be maintained as a separate subgenus if unique characters of western Palaearctic species are included in its diagnosis; iii) Scopophus is a junior synonym of Euconnus s. str.; iv) status of species currently placed in Euconophron that occur outside western Palaearctic seems dubious, some of them may belong in Euconnus s. str. (this problem requires further study and species redescriptions); v) Euconnus s. str. and Euconophron may be closely related. Emended diagnosis of Euconophron is given, and lectotypes are designated for Scydmaenus promptus and Euconnus affinis.
