Interesting Species

This interesting species has hitherto been known only by the single type-specimen, a mandibular tooth, contained in the York Museum, originally described by Mr. T. P. Barkas, and recently very correctly redescribed as well as figured by Mr. A. Smith Woodward. It so happens that some years ago a considerable number of these teeth, both mandibular and palatal, occurred in the Borough Lee ironstone: my own collection contains no less than forty specimens, and there are many others in the Museum of Science and Art, so that I may now add considerably to the knowledge of the species

Revision and systematic placement of Prospalaea Aldrich (Diptera, Tachinidae). In the present study, the genotype and single species Prospalaea insularis (Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1891) is redescribed and the male terminalia fully illustrated. The species is known only from a single type specimen collected from the Caribbean subregion, which was examined for this study. A new systematic placement is proposed, with the genus being transferred from the Exoristini to Eryciini, both tribes of Exoristinae.

The Modigliani’s nose-horned lizard, Harpesaurus modiglianii Vinciguerra, 1933, is one of the rarest lizards in the world, known only from its single type specimen collected in 1891, from North Sumatra, Indonesia. During explorations of the forests surrounding Lake Toba and its caldera, we discovered a population of H. modiglianii at an elevation of 1,675 m a.s.l., and provide the first data on its habitat. We here re-describe the species based on an examination of its type and new material, and provide an English translation of the complete original description which was originally written in Italian.

Small Collection

A small collection of East African leucosiid crabs, preserved in the crustacean collection at the Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università di Firenze, Italy, was examined. Of these, one, Cryptocnemus grandidieri A. Milne-Edwards 1865, collected in 1864 by Alfred Grandidier in Zanzibar and known only from the single type specimen, is redescribed and illustrated. The others are new to science: one each are included in Leucisca MacLeay, 1838 and Nobiliella Komatsu & Takeda, 2003. These new species are described and illustrated, and their affinities with allied taxa discussed.

A New Species

Based on our detailed observations in the field, completed with herbarium material of representatives of Hydrangea section Cornidia in southeastern Mexico and Central America, we found that Hydrangea steyermarkii Standley, in contrast to what has been assumed up to now, is restricted to the Tacaná Volcano on the border of Mexico and Guatemala. The majority of the specimens with reddish or whitish indument on their branches in South East Mexico and Central America, belonging to this nearly exclusively Neotropical Hydrangea clade, had been identified as such, but the characters of these collections do not coincide with the single type specimen of H. steyermarkii, neither with other individuals of this species growing in the type locality area. In fact, nearly all specimens of Mesoamerica that had been identified as this species belong to a new species with a relatively wide distribution, which we describe here. This new species is illustrated and compared with H. steyermarkii, of which we also provide an amended description and illustrations. Finally, on the basis of these two species we document previously suggested dioecism in this plant group, which not only has consequences for systematics and nomenclature in this clade, but also for conservation.

The Status

Background: Problems amongst the syntypes and duplicates were noted for the critically endangered Kniphofia pauciflora Baker.Objective: To resolve the typification of K. pauciflora.Method: Literature and specimens (including type material) were examined from relevant herbaria.Results: Lectotypification was necessary in this case. The lectotype designated was Wood 1096 (K) from ‘Natal, Claremont flat’ [KwaZulu-Natal, Clairmont flat]. This was undertaken to specify a single type specimen and to clarify the status of the duplicates. Also included is an account of the last remaining population of K. pauciflora at the Clairwood Racecourse, Durban, South Africa.Conclusion: The lectotype was designated as Wood 1096 (K).

Three New Species

A new alpheid shrimp genus, Triacanthoneus n. gen., is established for three new species from shallow marine waters of Central and South America. Triacanthoneus toro n. sp., the type species of the new genus, is described based on four specimens from Bocas del Toro, Caribbean coast of Panama. Triacanthoneus pacificus n. sp. is described on the basis of a single type specimen from the Pacific coast of Panama and an additional specimen from Bahía Malaga, Pacific coast of Colombia. Finally, Triacanthoneus alacranes n. sp. is described based on a single specimen collected near Alacranes Reef, off Yucatán Peninsula in the southern Gulf of Mexico. Triacanthoneus shares many features with Salmoneus Holthuis, 1955, but can be easily distinguished by the presence of three very strong and sharp teeth on the carapace, one being in a mediodorsal position posterior to carapace mid-length, and two in a dorsolateral post-hepatic position. This carapace armature is unique within the family Alpheidae.

AbstractRecently discovered specimens of the marsupial Herpetotherium merriami (Stock and Furlong, 1922) from the John Day Formation, Oregon, are described. The species was previously known only from a single (type) specimen. These additional specimens have allowed for a revised diagnosis of the species based on the presence of an additional stylar cusp on the upper molars, as well as the relative size of the stylar cusps. This new material also allows for an examination of the variability within the species and establishes a time range for the species, which extends through most of the Arikareean (late Oligocene: Ar1–Ar3: late Rupelian-Aquitanian). Herpetotherium merriami is distinct within the genus because it is among the larger of the species, but one of the latest occurring, whereas the general pattern of the genus is a reduction in size through time.

Sugarcane Hybrids

AbstractSince it was first introduced to Europe in 711 CE and planted in the Americas in 1506, a single type of cane dominated sugar production for 1100 years, until it was finally ousted by Tahitian cane c. 1790. This cane became known as ‘CreoleâĂŹ and is present in the ancestry of many sugarcane hybrids, even today. Whether there was only a single variety of Creole cane or multiple varieties has been a matter of debate for decades. Creole cane remains relevant today, as a Creole cane from Jamaica is the currently chosen lecotype for Saccharum officinarum. In this study we identify 18 historical images of Creole cane, many not previously published. We employ image analyses to characterize the internodes and demonstrate evidence for only a single type of Creole in the new world. Chloroplasts and 45s ribosomal RNA sequences from the cultivar BH10/12 (known to have a Creole female parent) were determined that Java ribbon cane is the historical New World sugarcane known as Creole. We demonstrate that Creole cane is an hybrid and not a single species. Thus S. officinarum has no type specimen. We also sequence a ribbon cane (also known as Guinguam) that appeared in the Caribbean between 1790 and 1810 and demonstrate that this cane was a Sinense type from Java that links back to the work of Rumphinus (1660s).

Stable Scheme

AbstractThe concepts want, hope, and exploration cannot be organized in relation to a single type of motive (e.g., motive for food). They require, in addition, the motive for acquiring and maintaining a stable scheme that enables reward-directed activity. Facing unpredictability, the animal has to seek not only reward, but also a new equilibrated state within which reward seeking is possible.
