A New Species

A new species, Baetis pentaphyllus sp. nov., is described on the basis of larvae from the Far East of Russia (type locality Bolshoi Garmakan River). Larvae of Baetis pentaphyllus sp. nov. may be distinguished from other Baetis species by the presence of only five pairs of tergalii on segments III–VII. The mitochondrial COI sequence obtained from the described species was compared with the data present in GeneBank and BOLD. The DNA barcodes allowed discrimination of B. pentaphyllus sp. nov. from other species of Baetis with available sequence data. The average interspecific K2P distances were 10–15%, which are values well above those associated with intraspecific variation. COI sequences as well as 36 morphological larval characters were analysed using Bayesian inference to relate the described species to the recognized species-groups of the Baetis genus. B. pentaphyllus sp. nov formed a sister clade to B. vardarensis + B. lutheri which belong to the Baetis lutheri species-group.

A new species, Baetis majus Tiunova sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on larvae and reared adults discovered in the Russian Far East. The differential identification of this species was determined by the characteristics of other representatives of the genus Baetis Leach, including subgenera Baetis Leach and Tenuibaetis Kang & Yang from Eastern and Western Palaearctic, Nearctic and Oriental regions. In addition to morphological studies, DNA barcoding of the described species with average intraspecific K2P distances to nearest neighbours is documented. We reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of all available cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of the subgenera of Baetis and Tenuibaetis from four regions. Bayesian analysis using 47 morphological characters additional to partial COI sequences did not allow to determine the species-group of the Baetis genus to which the described species belongs.

The canaliculatus species group of Stenus (Nestus) is redefined. Four new Palaearctic species of the group are described and illustrated: S. (N.) alopex sp. nov. from the Putorana Highland and Taymyr Peninsula, Russia; S. (N.) canalis sp. nov. from SE Siberia and the Russian Far East; S. (N.) canosus sp. nov. from the Narat Mt Ridge, Chinese Tien Shan; S. (N.) delitor sp. nov. from C & SE Siberia. New distributional data as well as brief analyses of old records for fourteen species described earlier are provided from both Palaearctic and Nearctic material. S. (N.) milleporus Casey, 1884 (= sectilifer Casey, 1884) is revalidated as a species propria. S. (N.) sphaerops Casey, 1884 is redescribed; its aedeagus is figured for the first time; the aedeagus of S. (N.) caseyi Puthz, 1972 as well as aedeagi of eight previously described Palaearctic species are illustrated anew. A key for the identification of all the known Palaearctic species of the group is given. A morphology and ecology based analysis of the main evolutionary trends within the group is provided. A lectotype is designated for S. (N.) melanopus Marsham, 1802; its Siberian and NE European records are supposed to be erroneous; the monotypic melanopus species group is erected.

A new species group, the brevis-group, is established for two new species of the fig wasp genus Sycophaga Westwood (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae) reared from the monoecious fig tree Ficus orthoneura (Moraceae, Ficus, subgenus Urostigma) in China. The two new species, S. brevis n. sp. and S. diutius n. sp. are described and illustrated, supplemented by COI sequence data. In contrast with two other species groups newly recognized in Sycophaga, the explorator-group for species previously classified in Apocryptophagus Ashmead and the sycomori-group for other species previously classified in Sycophaga, the brevis-group is uniquely defined by the long pronotum of females and a Ficus host within the subgenus Urostigma.

A New Species

Daphnia curvirostris species complex is a cladoceran group (Crustacea: Cladocera) with maximum diversity in Eastern Palearctic. To date, several representatives of this complex are known from the Russian Far East. Here we describe a new species of the Daphnia sinevi species group from water bodies of Sakhalin Island. Morphology of its parthenogenetic females is similar to that in D. sinevi from the continental part of Asian Eurasia. However, we found diagnostic traits of D. sakhalinensis sp.nov. in morphology of the second pecten on postabdominal claw, armature of seta 2 on exopodite III, proportions of setae 1/ and 2 length on exopodite V, relative length of male rostrum and structure of the second pecten of male postabdominal claw. This work contributes to our full revision of the D. curvirostris species complex. Separation between continental and Sakhalin populations of D. sinevi group probably happened in Pliocene (about 5 MA) when Sakhalin began to separate from the mainland. However, we cannot exclude a version that populations of D. sakhalinensis sp.nov. appeared as a result of colonization of Sakhalin from the continent and further independent evolution of the island populations.

Pelvic Fin

A new species of eelpout genus Lycenchelys Gill, 1884 is described based on seven specimens caught at a depth of about 2350 m in the Bussol Strait, southwest of the Kuril Island Simushir. The species differs from its congeners in the following combination of characters: vertebrae 26–28 + 100–102 = 126–130; interorbital and occipital pores absent; postorbital pores 3–4; suborbital pores 7 (rarely 6); preoperculomandibular pores 4 + 4; gill rakers 11–16; dorsal fin rays 118–122; anal fin rays 105–108; pelvic fin rays 2; middle and lower ray tips of pectoral fin very slightly exserted; lateral line double with mediolateral and ventral branches; pyloric caeca not developed. The new species is morphologically most similar to Lycenchelys micropora and Lycenchelys jordani, which differ from the new species in having three pelvic-fin rays (vs. two pelvic-fin rays in the new species). L. micropora has the pectoral-fin origin below body midline, whereas the new species has the pectoral-fin origin at body midline. Middle and lower ray tips of pectoral fin are very slightly exserted in L. lenzeni sp. nov., whereas they are well exserted in L. jordani and L. micropora. Mitochondrial COI sequences were analyzed from four paratype specimens and all show the same haplotype sequence. The DNA barcodes allowed discrimination of L. lenzeni sp. nov. from other species of Lycenchelys where sequence data were available. The nearest match with already published sequences was Lycenchelys antarctica, with a sequence similarity of 98.25%, followed by Lycenchelys aratrirostris (sequence similarities 97.95–97.96%) and L. jordani (sequence similarity of 97.81%).

Rhithrogena klugei sp. nov. (male, female and larva) are described from Far East of Russia. The Far Eastern species of Rhithrogena belong to two groups: lepnevae and sibirica. The species group sibirica is represented by the East Palaearctic species R. sibirica Brodsky 1930. The lepnevae species group includes R. lepnevae Brodsky 1930, R. bajkovae Sowa 1973 and R. klugei sp. nov. in the Far East and Siberia, and two species which can be found in the Russian Far East, R. piechockii Braasch 1977 from Mongolia, and R. ingalik Randolph and McCafferty 2005 from Alaska. The species group sibirica differs from lepnevae species group in that its larvae present a rounded projection on gills II–VI on the posterior-dorsal margin, whereas the imagines present a shoot at the base of the penis lobes. The larva of R. klugei sp. nov. differs from those of R. bajkovae and R. lepnevae in their form of gill I and in the ratio of the length to the width of gills III–IV. The male imago of the new species can be distinguished from others of the lepnevae species group by the absence of the latero-dorsoventral tooth on the penis lobes.

The genus Carlogonus Demange, 1961, is diagnosed, and its relationship with other members of the Harpurostreptini Hoffman, 1980 is discussed. A new species, Carlogonus gayathri sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the southern Indian State of Kerala, and its DNA barcoding data is presented. Phylogenetic analysis based on mtDNA sequence data revealed that Carlogonus is sister-taxon to Thyropygus Pocock, 1894. Two species-groups are recognised in Carlogonus: the exaratus-group is characterised by a single tibial spine on the gonopod, while the acifer-group has paired tibial spines. A dichotomous key is presented for the known Carlogonus spp., and the current distribution of the genus is mapped.

Water fleas (Crustacea: Cladocera) are among the most intensively studied freshwater invertebrates. However, ecologically important daphniids that live on the surface layer (neuston) remain taxonomically confused. Here we attempt to reconcile genetic and morphological information for the neustonic genus Scapholeberis Schoedler, 1858 (Cladocera: Daphniidae) and present the first revision of the Scapholeberis kingii species group. We analyzed new and existing mitochondrial DNA sequences (сytochrome C oxidase subunit I gene region) together with morphology for all but one of the known species of the neustonic daphniids. Morphological comparisons of available populations, belonging to the Scapholeberis kingii species group from several Australian, Asian and African localities, revealed, that they are almost identical according to parthenogenetic females. However, Australian populations can be reliably distinguished from Asian ones based on the morphology of gamogenetic females. Mitochondrial DNA data analyses revealed divergent lineages (>17% for the DNA barcoding COI region) for the three different species (Australia, Asia and Africa). Based on this set of data, we redescribed S. kingii Sars, 1888 from Australia, its terra typica, and described a new species, S. smirnovi sp.nov. from the Russian Far East, Korea and Japan. The status of populations from Ethiopia and the Republic of South Africa remained unclear, because in the African material and the putative type material, we found only parthenogenetic females. Our results provide an integrative revision of the S. kingii species group and improve the taxonomic scaffold used for barcoding and genomics for the remaining species groups in the daphniid genus Scapholeberis.
