A New Species

A new dwarf alestid from the vicinity of Inga on the lower Congo River, Bas Congo Province, Democratic Republic of Congo is described. Assignment of the new taxon to the poorly defined genus, Micralestes, is discussed and justified on the basis of available morphological character data. With the recognition of Micralestes schelly sp. nov., a total of six Micralestes are now known to inhabit the 350 km stretch of the Congo River from Pool Malebo to Boma near the river’s estuary. These are Micralestes acutidens (Peters, 1852), Micralestes humilis Boulenger, 1899, Micralestes lualabae Poll, 1967, Micralestes holargyreus (Günther, 1873), Micralestes stormsi Boulenger, 1902, and the new species Micralestes schelly. Of these Micralestes schelly and Micralestes holargyreus are considered herein as restricted-range endemics of the lower Congo River. An illustrated key to Micralestes of the lower Congo River is provided.

A New Species

There are 55 valid species and 8 genera of Afrotropical Limnichidae currently described (Delève, 1968; Spangler et. al. 2001; Hernando & Ribera, 2006; Hernando & Ribera, 2014). Resachus Delève is within the “Mandersia group of genera” according to Hernando & Ribera (2005) with 3 known species: Resachus lineatifrons Delève, 1968 [Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia]; Resachus schuhi Hernando & Ribera, 2006 [Madagascar]; Resachus striatellus Delève, 1968 [Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria] (Delève, 1968; Hernando & Ribera, 2006). Specimens from Malawi have been identified as a new species. The new species have morphological characters, described in this paper, that distinguish them from any other known Resachus.

A New Species

A total of 139 stool samples from wild chimpanzees, gorillas and bonobos in Cameroon and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) were screened for enteroviruses (EVs) by reverse transcription PCR. Enterovirus RNA was detected in 10 % of samples, comprising eight from 58 sampled chimpanzees (13.8 %), one from 40 bonobos (2.5 %) and five from 40 gorillas (12.2 %). Three viruses isolated from chimpanzees grouped with human isolate EV-A89 and four (four chimpanzees, one gorilla) represented a newly identified type, EV-A119. These species A virus types overlapped with those circulating in human populations in the same area. The remaining six strains comprised a new species D type, EV-D120, infecting one chimpanzee and four gorillas, and a single EV variant infecting a bonobo that was remarkably divergent from other EVs and potentially constitutes a new enterovirus species. The study demonstrates both the circulation of genetically divergent EV variants in apes and monkeys as well as those shared with local human populations.
