Dubois & Raffaëlli (2012) recently published a new comprehensive taxonomy and nomenclature of the recent salamanders and newts of the world. Almost coincidentally, Wake (2012) published a revised classification of the salamander family PLETHODONTIDAE. Three family-series (or family-group) nomina (scientific names) were proposed as new in both papers. According to the date appearing in Zootaxa, ...

In 1879 Norman described Spencebatea abyssicola, new genus, new species, on the basis of a single specimen from a deep-sea site off Ireland. The species was transferred to the genus Cumella by Stebbing in 1913, where it has remained. A reexamination of the specimen indicated that it belongs to the genus Procampylaspis, since it possesses the recurved, tooth-bearing dactyl on maxilliped 2 which ...

The European Rhogogaster s. str. species are revised, and several nominal taxa from Asia discussed. The taxonomic identity of the type species Tenthredo viridis Linnaeus, 1758 is different from that assumed in the past. Tenthredo dryas Benson, 1943 is syn. nov. of R. viridis. The name Rhogogaster scalaris (Klug, 1817), species revocata, is to be applied to Rhogogaster viridis auct. New subjecti...

The prior genus-level classification of Cardiophorinae had never been assessed phylogenetically, and not revised since 1906. A phylogeny for Cardiophorinae and Negastriinae is inferred by Bayesian analyses of 163 adult morphological characters to revise the generic classification. Parsimony analysis is also performed to assess the sensitivity of the Bayesian results to the choice of optimality ...

Proterometra epholkos sp. n. asexually reproduces in the stream dwelling prosobranch, Elimia cf. modesta (Cerithioidea: Pleuroceridae) and infects the buccal cavity epithelium of spotted bass, Micropterus punctulatus (Perciformes: Centrarchidae) in the Coosa River (Terrapin Creek; N33°51'36.56″, W85°31'28.15″; Cleburne County, Alabama, USA). We characterize cercariae and adults of the new speci...

Toxic PJesteria-like dinoflagellates have been implicated as causative agent; of major fish kills (affecting IO’10” fish) in estuaries and coastal waters of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern U.S. Transformations among an array of flagellated, amoeboid, and encysted stages in the complex life cycle of the representative species, Pjiesteria piscicida, are controlled by the availability of fresh s...

It is well known that a description required to publish the name of new taxon under Art. 38.1 Shenzhen Code (Turland & al. in Regnum Veg. 159. 2018). These proposals offer revised definition “description” address nomina subnuda, i.e. names whose protologues include descriptive statements are not adequate validly name, and propose changes 38 Ex. 3 7 involving subnuda.

This catalogue includes all valid family-group (8 subfamilies, 52 tribes, 14 subtribes), genus-group (349 genera, 86 subgenera), and species-group names (2825 species, 215 subspecies) of darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) known to occur in North America and their available synonyms. Data on extant, subfossil and fossil taxa are given. For each name the author and year and page number ...
