Taxonomic Evaluation

The flat wasp family Bethylidae Haliday lacks global scale literature on their alpha taxonomy. The only world revision for the family was by Kieffer in 1914 and is fully out of date and somewhat useless; the only catalog for the family was made by Gordh & Móczár in 1990 and does not include hundreds of changes made since then; and the most recent world genera keys were proposed by Terayama in 2003, but do not reflect the current knowledge we have for the family. Given this scenario, we present a global guide of Bethylidae with diagnoses, taxonomic evaluation, keys, and a checklist of all their extant genera and subfamilies. We visited the main collections around the world, analyzed about 2,000 holotypes, and examined at least 400,000 specimens. To eliminate homonymies, we add the prefix “neo” to the original specific epithet when possible. The family is now composed by 2,920 species allocated in 96 genera distributed in eight subfamilies: Bethylinae, Pristocerinae, Epyrinae, Mesitiinae, Scleroderminae, Lancepyrinae, Holopsenellinae and Protopristocerinae. The latter three are extinct. One new family-group synonym is proposed: Fushunochrysidae Hong syn. nov. of Bethylidae. Two incertae sedis genera are allocated into Bethylinae: Cretobethylellus Rasnytsyn and Omaloderus Walker. One new genus-group synonym is revalidated: Pristepyris Kieffer stat. rev. from Acrepyris Kieffer. Sixteen new genus-group synonyms are proposed: Fushunochrysites Hong syn. nov. and Sinibethylus Hong syn. nov. of Eupsenella Westwood; Messoria Meunier syn. nov. of Goniozus Förster; Acrepyris Kieffer syn. nov. of Pristepyris Kieffer; Apristocera Kieffer syn. nov. and Parapristocera Brues syn. nov. of Pristocera Klug; Usakosia Kieffer syn. nov. of Prosapenesia Kieffer; Isobrachium Förster syn. nov., Leptepyris Kieffer syn. nov., Neodisepyris Kurian syn. nov., Rhabdepyris Kieffer syn. nov. of Epyris Westwood; Codorcas Nagy syn. nov., Hamusmus Argaman syn. nov. and Ukayakos Argaman syn. nov. of Heterocoelia Dahlbom; Domonkos Argaman syn. nov. of Incertosulcus Móczár; Ateleopterus Förster syn. nov. of Sclerodermus Latreille. One new genus-group synonym is revalidated: Topcobius Nagy syn. rev. of Sulcomesitius Móczár. One new genus-group revalidation is proposed: Incertosulcus Móczár stat. rev. from Anaylax Móczár. The following species-group nomenclatural acts are established: 153 new or revalidated combinations, 16 new names to avoid secondary homonyms, 11 species with revalidated status, and one synonym. Keys to the subfamilies and genera are provided. The text is supported by 599 illustrations organized onto 92 plates.

The World

Catfishes are generally one of the economically important groups of fresh and brackish water fishes in the world. In many countries, they form a significant part of inland fisheries, and several species have been  introduced in fish culture. Judging from literature, the main constraint to cultivate wild species and to optimise the production of pangasiid catfishes is due to the poorly documented systematics of this family. In the present contribution, the phylogenetic relationships within Pangasiidae are studied to contribute to a better insight in their taxonomy and evolution. The genetic relatedness is inferred using mitochondrial 12S rDNA gene sequences. To resolve the phylogenetic position of Laides in this group of catfish, five genera of Asian and African Schilbeidae are also considered. The results showed that a species group (complex) could be clearly seen in the genetic tree. Pangasius is more derive than the other genera. By using approximate molecular clock/evolutionary calibration from  mitochondrial gene, a new episode of  speciation for the family marked explosive radiation about 5- 8 million years ago (mya). This adaptive radiation extended until the Late Pleistocene. Regarding the relationships between the Pangasiidae and Schilbeidae, two families show an allopatric distribution with slight overlap. The Pangasiidae occur mainly in Southeast Asia, while the Schilbeidae are seen mainly on the Indian subcontinent (including Myanmar) and Africa. It confirms the separation between  Schilbeidae and Pangasiidae occurred in the Early Miocene.

Original Classification

This nomenclator provides bibliographic details on all names in the family-, genus-, and species-group of the the family Paludomidae. All nomenclaturally available names are discussed including junior homonyms and objective junior synonyms as well as unavailable names such as nomina nuda, infrasubspecific names and, to some extent, also incorrect subsequent spellings. In the family-group a total of 28 names are included in the nomenclator, of which 21 are available and seven unavailable names. Of the available names in the family-group, six are invalid for nomenclatural reasons. In the genus-group a total of 57 names are included in the catalogue. Of the available names in the genus-group, 11 are invalid for nomenclatural reasons. In the species-group a total of 499 names are included, of which 463 are available, but 21 are invalid for nomenclatural reasons. All names are given in their original combination and spelling (mandatory changes are discussed and corrected spellings are provided), along with the reference to the original publication. For each family- and genus-group name, the original classification and the type genus or type species, respectively, are given. For species-group taxa the type locality and type horizon (for fossil taxa) are provided, usually as given in the original publication. A new name,Cleopatraadaminom. nov., is proposed for the fossilCleopatracylindrica(Adam, 1957), which is a homonym ofCleopatracridlandicylindricaMandahl-Barth, 1954, and a lectotype forCleopatradubiaAdam, 1959 is designated. A new replacement nameLeloupiellanom. nov. is proposed forStormsiaLeloup, 1953 which is a homonym ofStormsiaBourguignat, 1891.

World Distribution

All genera and species of the family Canacidae as well as all synonyms and the world distribution for each species are listed to form an updated world catalog. Since McAlpine’s (2007) placement of the families Canacidae sensu stricto and Tethinidae into a single, inclusive family (Canacidae sensu lato, i.e. the older family-group name), a comprehensive world catalog has been needed to include the new taxonomic arrangement and the corpus of new entries published over the last fifteen years, that is since the preceding catalogs (Mathis, 1992; Mathis and Munari, 1996). Identification keys to all supraspecific taxa are also given for each taxonomic section.

Group 10

The marine gastropod family Architectonicidae (= Solariidae), commonly known as sundials, comprises about 140 worldwide extant species classified in 11 genera. More than ten times as many names are used in the literature for both Recent and fossil taxa, the latter dating from the Mesozoic (Paleozoic taxa were misinterpreted). Herein we catalog more than 1550 names that have appeared in print at the family-group (10), genus-group (137), and species-group levels (1408). Of the last, nearly 1100 are found to be nomenclatorially available or potentially available. An Appendix is included in which nomenclatural changes are made and/or commented upon. It is demonstrated that Solarium maculatum Link, 1807 was validly introduced and, as Architectonica maculata (Link, 1807), becomes the valid name for the species usually cited as A. picta (Philippi, 1849). The invalid introduction of Heliacus messanensis Bertolaso & Palazzi, 2000 is discussed. The emended spelling of the specific name in the binomen Solatisonax alleryi (G. Seguenza, 1876) is shown to be correctly accepted. Philippia lepida Bayer, 1942, Torinia gyrus depressiusculaBayer, 1848, Solarium subconcolor von Martens, 1880, Solarium conulus Weinkauff, 1868 and Solarium submoniliferum d’Orbigny, 1852 were proposed as replacement names for multiple preoccupied names and/or misidentifications. These are here restricted to avoid possible confusion. The history and current status of the similarly spelled and inconsistently used nomina Fluxiella and Fluxinella (as placed in Architectonicidae and/or Seguenziidae) are discussed.

In the International Year of Biodiversity (2010), Zootaxa published 1,582 papers (including 92 monographs) in 405 issues, with a total of 32,330 pages. These papers included descriptions of 3,951 new taxa, of which 3,664 are of the species-group, 268 of the genus-group and 19 of the family-group. It is estimated that the total new animal species described in 2010 is most likely to be between 15,000 and 20,000, and Zootaxa has thus contributed 18 to 24% of the total.
