Annotated List

This article lists and comments on the primary and secondary types represented in the collection of the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum (BMSM), on Sanibel, Florida, USA. The collection includes 464 type specimens, of which 15 are holotypes, representing 149 taxa, of which 145 are species and four subspecies. The BMSM collection is fully catalogued and posted online via the Museum’s website, in addition to iDigBio and GBIF. The publication of this annotated list intends to improve on the accessibility and promote this important group of name-bearing specimens, which includes, among other cases, types originating from orphaned collections and material poorly documented in the original descriptions. Eighty-two types were selected for illustration, and the photos of all BMSM types are available as part of the BMSM online collection catalog.

New Synonymy

The Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales Bernardino Rivadavia (MACN) possesses one of the most important Lepidoptera collections in South America. Here are deposited several type specimens of Lepidoptera, particularly of Arctiinae, described by Burmeister, Berg, Snellen, Jörgensen, Giacomelli, Orfila, and Forster. This study presents a catalogue with complete information and photographs of most type specimens of Arctiinae housed in the MACN. Additionally, we provide comments on the type material presumably deposited in MACN but not found by the authors. A total of seven lectotypes are designated and a new synonymy is proposed: Eurota (sic) julia Orfila, 1931 is a junior synonym of Eurata hermione Burmeister, 1878.

The paper is the first illustrated check-list of the freshwater Gastropoda of the state of Mongolia. The authors examined their own samplings made in 2009–2012 as well as collections of other explorers and zoological museums (mostly those of Russia). In total, 35 nominal species of four families (Valvatidae, Lymnaeidae, Physidae, and Planorbidae) have been included into annotated list, with remarks on their distribution, ecology, taxonomic status, and nomenclature. All species are illustrated by pictures of their shells (including some type specimens). The fauna of freshwater Gastropoda of Mongolia is taxonomically impoverished as compared to the fauna of southern Siberia and other adjacent areas. In particular, no representatives of such families as Acroloxidae and Bithyniidae were found to live there as well as no species of Anisus, Aplexa, Planorbarius, Planorbis, Stagnicola and some other genera of aquatic snails broadly distributed in Palearctic. From the zoogeographic point of view, the recent fauna of aquatic Gastropoda of Mongolia consists of species belonging to three diversification centers—northwestern Palearctic, Siberian, and Central-South Asian. The only species endemic to Mongolia is Choanomphalus mongolicus inhabiting the Hövsgöl Lake. A brief history of formation of the recent Mongolian fauna of freshwater snails is provided.

Southwest Australia

The herpetological material of the 1905 Hamburg expedition to southwest Australia is redetermined and listed with precise locality data and habitat details. Of this material, 275 specimens of 57 species are still part of the herpetological collection of the Zoological Museum Hamburg (ZMH). A map showing 47 (out of 167) collecting points is provided. Some of the type specimens described in the original material by Prof. Franz Werner have been destroyed. A single paratype of Crinia michaelseni (Werner, 1914) now Geocrinia leai (Flecher, 1898), formerly thought to be lost, was recovered in the ZMH collection. This historical collection is a valuable resource for understanding the composition of the herpetofauna of the previous century.

The article provides information on type specimens of 33 species (94 sheets) of vascular plants, kept in the herbarium of the National Institute of Biological Resources (KB) of the Republic of Korea. Most of the type specimens in KB were donated by the Herbaria of Ajou University (AJOU), Chonbuk National University (JNU), Chungbuk National University (CBU), Hallym University (HHU), Korea Plant Research Institute (KPRI), Seoul National University (SNU), and others in recent years. For all specimens, the type category is indicated. There were 15 sheets for holotypes, 57 sheets for isotypes, and 22 sheets for paratypes. There were seven species of Pteridophytes, 22 species of Dicotyledons, and four species of Monocotyledons. The most represented genera in the 33 species are Corydalis (seven species) and Isoetes (four species). The type specimens examined in this article belong to the taxa described by Korean botanists, Byoung-Un Oh, Byoung-Yoon Lee, Byung-Yun Sun, Chong-Wook Park, Hong-Keun Choi, Young-Dong Kim, and others.

From 1870 to 1872, Jean Cabanis described four species-group taxa of Siberian birds. These include Gallinago heterocerca (Scolopacidae), Accentor erythropygus (Prunellidae), Parus obtectus (Paridae), and Pyrrhula cinerascens (Fringillidae). In this paper we identified the types of these taxa, restricted their type localities, and checked their taxonomic identity with the following results: (1) We demonstrated that type specimens of all species-group taxa were deposited in the Berlin Museum and that there is no evidence that any type specimens were deposited in the Warszawa Museum; (2) we restricted type localities of Gallinago heterocerca, Parus obtectus and Pyrrhula cineracea to Kultuk, Russia; and (3) we restricted the type locality of Accentor erythropygus to Utulik brook above Utulik village, Russia.

At least nine bird species were described as new to science on the basis of material collected by Eduard Eversmann and Christian Pander during a Russian embassy headed by Aleksandr Negri to Bukhara in 1820–1821. We identified the type specimens and determined the type localities of these species, which are currently housed in natural history museums of Berlin, Germany, and Moskva, Russia. We suggest that, if only two subspecies of Otus brucei are recognized, the larger northern migratory one should be recognized as O. b. brucei (Hume, 1872), and the smaller southern nonmigratory one as O. b. semenowi (Zarudnyj & Härms, 1902), and we show that the name semenowi has been misapplied to the population from the Tarim Basin. We designate a lectotype for the nominal species Scops obsoleta Cabanis.

Type Studies

Type specimens of cyphelloid fungi described by Johannes Rick kept at Herbarium PACA (São Leopoldo, Brazil) were studied, described, illustrated and their species names were updated when necessary. Two invalid names, Cyphella grisea Rick and Solenia minima Rick, are reduced to synonyms of existing names, Lachnella subfalcispora D.A. Reid and Henningsomyces minimus (Cooke & W. Phillips) Kuntze, respectively. Cyphella congregatissima Rick, Glabrocyphella rubescens Rick, Solenia pezizoidea Rick and Theleporus griseus Rick are combined to Seticyphella Agerer, Henningsomyces Kuntze, Maireina W.B. Cooke and Resupinatus Nees, respectively, with the last requiring a new name, Resupinatus rickii. Descriptions, color photographs of basidiomes, and line-drawing illustrations of microstructures from the examined material are given.

Taxonomic Changes

The diversity of Eriocaulaceae in the Neotropics is primarily concentrated in the Espinhaço Range in Brazil and in the Tepuis of Venezuela. Species richness outside of these areas, however, is significant but poorly known. Based on improved taxonomic knowledge about Eriocaulaceae in the Atlantic Forest domain in Brazil, we propose nomenclatural and taxonomic changes, and provide an identification key and an annotated list of the species of the core Serra da Mantiqueira. A total of 24 species were found, one described quite recently and two still known only from the type specimens. Lectotypes for the following names are designated: Eriocaulon majusculum, Paepalanthus exiguus, P. jordanensis, P. manicatus, and Syngonanthus caulescens.
