The genus Herminella Spaeth from southern Africa is revised. It comprises four species: Herminella liliputana Spaeth and H. marshalli Spaeth are redescribed and two species are described as new-H. quadrimaculata from South Africa and H. flavocostata from Nambia and South Africa. A new related genus and species Hermosacantha madagascarica from Madagascar is described. Members of both genera belo...

Sensiphorura oligoseta sp. nov. is described from the sand beach of Pacific coast of China. It is the second member of the genus and differs from S. marshalli Rusek, 1976 by the smaller apical vesicle on antennae, and fewer setae on abdominal tergites. Psanunophorura neocaledonica Thibaud & Weiner, 1997 and Mesaphorura yosii (Rusek, 1967) are also found to be widely distributed on the coast. Ch...

Understanding the impact of climate-induced distributional shifts on species divergence, like those accompanying the Pleistocene glacial cycles [1, 2], requires tools that explicitly incorporate the geographic configuration of past distributions into analyses of genetic differentiation. Depending on the historical distribution of species, genetic differences may accumulate among ancestral sourc...

Basing on the collection of Åke Holm, we provide new data on African Myrmarachninae from Kenya: Belippo elgonensis sp. n. (♂) and B. terribilis sp. n. (♂) are described, as well as the previously unknown female of Myrmarachne giltayi. Belippo calcarata, B. milloti and M. dundoensis are recorded from Kenya for the first time and new records for Myrmarachne kiboschensis, M. lawrencei and M. marsh...

Cat Ba National Park is the core zone of Archipelago Biosphere Reserve. It contains quite diverse and unique ecosystems including 776 ha mangrove forest. Although bats park were included in many publications, none recorded from ecosystem. We recently conducted field surveys through wetland areas three horseshoe bat species: Marshall's (Rhinolophus marshalli), Pearson’s pearsonii), least (R. pus...

En material examinado se reporta la ocurrencia cinco ellas: longula Weise, marshalli Crotch, P. abancayana Almeida, constantini González, Perla ...

Among genera of the ostertagiine nematodes, structural attributes of Spiculopteragia caballeroi are consistent with criteria that diagnose the genus Sarwaria. Specifically, the following characters are compatible with referral to this genus: (1) species characterized by monomorphic males; (2) tapering lateral synlophe in the cervical zone; (3) minuscule, thornlike cervical papillae; (4) length ...
