Amphinemura palmeni is a valid Holarctic stonefly species (Plecoptera: Nemouridae)

The taxonomic status of Amphinemura palmeni, a rare stonefly from northern Fennoscandia, was re-evaluated in a morphological study combined with analyses of mitochondrial COI and nuclear 28S sequences. Taxon sampling included A. standfussi, with which A. palmeni has been confused, the Nearctic A. linda and seven other Amphinemura species. Amphinemura palmeni is confirmed as a valid species, and...

Is Chinemys megalocephala FANG, 1934 a valid species? New insights based on mitochondrial DNA sequence data

An 871 bp long fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene was used for reconstructing the phylogeny of turtles of the genus Chinemys. C. nigricans is clearly differentiated from the other two species of that genus, separated by a sequence divergence of approximately 4.3 to 5.7 %. No differences were detected between two C. megalocephala and two C. reevesii. However, considerable sequence d...

Taxonomic notes on hummingbirds (Aves: Trochilidae) 2. Popelairia letitiae (Bourcier & Mulsant, 1852) is a valid species

—Popelairia letitiae (Bourcier & Mulsant. 1852), known from two specimens supposedly from Bolivia, appears to be a valid species. Analysis of plumage color and morphometries indicates that P. letitiae does not represent an immature plumage or geographic variant of Discosura longicauda. although this species and P. letitiae may be sister taxa. No credible evidence for a hybrid origin of P. letit...
