Osteological Characters

Based on combined morphological and osteological characters and molecular phylogenetics, we describe a new species of the genus Elaphe that was discovered from the south slope of the Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi, China, namely Elaphe xiphodontasp. nov. It is distinguished from the other congeners by a combination of the following characters: dorsal scales in 21-21-17 rows, the medial 11 rows keeled; 202–204 ventral scales, 67–68 subcaudals; two preoculars (including one subpreocular); two postoculars; two anterior temporals, three posterior temporals; reduced numbers of maxillary teeth (9+2) and dentary teeth (12); sharp cutting edges on the posterior or posterolateral surface of the rear maxillary teeth and dentary teeth; dorsal head yellow, three distinct markings on the head and neck; a distinct black labial spot present in supralabials; dorsum yellow, 46–49 complete (or incomplete) large black-edged reddish brown blotches on the body and 12–19 on the tail, two rows of smaller blotches on each ventrolateral side; ventral scales yellow with mottled irregular black blotches, a few irregular small red spots dispersed on the middle of the ventral. Based on molecular phylogenetic analyses, the new species forms the sister taxon to E. zoigeensis. The discovery of this new species increases the number of the recognized species in the genus Elaphe to 17.

First Time

The collection of Prof. J. Martens and, in part, of Dr P. Jäger, mainly from Taibai Shan, Qinling Mountains, Shaanxi Province, China, contains 36 identifiable species of Linyphiidae. Among these, the following nine new species belong to known genera: Agyneta martensi sp. n., Arcuphantes chinensis sp. n., Indophantes ramosus sp. n., Mughiphantes beishanensis sp. n., M. jaegeri sp. n., M. martensi sp. n., Nippononeta sinica sp. n., Asthenargus conicus sp. n., and Dicymbium sinofacetum sp. n. Each of the remaining five new species warrants the erection of a new genus: Houshenzinus gen. n. (type species: Houshenzinus rimosus sp. n.), Shaanxinus gen. n. (type species: Shaanxinus rufipes sp. n.), Shanus gen. n. (type species: Shanus taibaiensis sp. n.), Taibainus gen. n. (type species: Taibainus shanensis sp. n.) and Taibaishanus gen. n. (type species: Taibaishanus elegans sp. n.). The following new synonym and combinations are proposed (valid names on the right): Gnathonarium cambridgei Schenkel 1963 = Gnathonarium taczanowskii (O. Pickard-Cambridge 1873) syn. n., Araeoncus stigmosus Xia, Zhang, Gao, Fei, Rui & Kim 2001 = Tibioploides stigmosus (Xia, Zhang, Gao, Fei, Rui & Kim 2001) comb. n., Walckenaeria anguilliformis Xia, Zhang, Gao, Fei, Rui & Kim 2001 = Shaanxinus anguilliformis (Xia, Zhang, Gao, Fei, Rui & Kim, 2001) comb. n., and Lepthyphantes huangyuanensis Zhu & Li 1983 = Tchatkalophantes huangyuanensis (Zhu & Li 1983) comb. n. The female of Tibioploides stigmosus comb. n. is described for the first time.

Two new species of the genusAmphinemura,A.albicaudasp. n.andA.dingoideasp. n.from the southern Qinling Mountains, Foping County of Shaanxi Province, western China, are described based on both sexes and the larval stage. The new species are compared with related taxa, and theA.sinensisspecies group is defined for an Oriental lineage of the genus.Amphinemurasinensis(Wu, 1926) andA.unihamata(Wu, 1973) are reported from Shaanxi for the first time, and the hitherto unknown female ofA.unihamatais described. A distribution map of the Amphinemurinae known from Qinling Mountains is given.

A new representative of the genus Radix has been recorded from eastern China, Radix dgebuadzei sp. nov. This peculiar species was recorded from the Qinling Mountains, a remote highland region sharing the high levels of faunal and floral endemism. The phylogeny indicate that the new species belongs to the Radix alticola species group, being sister to the widespread species R. plicatula (Yunnan and Gansu in China and Southeast Asia) and R. euphratica (Middle East, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe). At first glance, we could assume that Radix dgebuadzei sp. nov. represents a local lineage endemic to the Qinling Region, while this preliminary hypothesis needs to be confirmed in the future. Our novel discovery highlights that China harbors a largely endemic fauna of the Lymnaeidae and that isolated mountain ranges in East Asia could be considered evolutionary hotspots of the radicine pond snails.

The dung beetles belonging to the genus Deltochilum Eschscholtz, 1822 are widely distributed in the Neotropical region. This genus is divided into eight subgenera, of these, the subgenus Deltohyboma Lane, 1946 is the most diverse, with an estimated 212 species. The most recent revision of Deltohyboma divided the subgenus into 19 species group. Here, taxonomy of the gilli species group is revised. Four new species (D. jocelynae sp. nov., D. nonstriatum sp. nov., D. quasistriatum sp. nov. and D. tenuistriatum sp. nov.) are described, making a total of five species within the species group. Keys for species identification and habitus as well as male genitalia morphology are illustrated.
