Description of two Stenohya species from China (Pseudoscorpiones, Neobisiidae), with comments on the exaggerated sexual dimorphic pedipalp in this genus.

ABSTRACT: Two Stenohya species belonging to the family Neobisiidae are diagnosed, described, and illustrated from China: Stenohyaspinatasp. nov. from Chongqing Municipality, and Stenohyahuangi Hu & Zhang, 2012 from Fujian Province. The male of S.huangi is reported for the first time. Diagnostic characters of this species are restricted based on the holotype and the new specimens. In addition, a key and a distribution map of the Stenohya species from China are provided, and the potential function of the exaggerated sexual dimorphic pedipalp in the genus Stenohya is discussed.

First report of the family Ideoroncidae (Arachnida, Pseudoscorpiones) from China, with description of a new species.

Project description:BackgroundThe pseudoscorpion genus Shravana Chamberlin, 1930, belonging to the family Ideoroncidae Chamberlin, 1930, currently contains 13 species. To date, no ideoroncid species has been recorded from China.New informationThe family Ideoroncidae Chamberlin, 1930 is reported from China for the first time. A new species of the genus Shravana Chamberlin, 1930, collected from Xizang Autonomous Region, China, is described under the name of Shravanazhui Gao & Zhang, sp. nov. on the basis of both sexes. The finding of this new species expands the distribution range of this family in Asia.

A report of the complete mitochondrial genome of Bisetocreagris titanium (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones: Neobisiidae) from Yunnan Province, China.

Project description:A complete mitogenome of a cave dwelling pseudoscorpion Bisetocreagris titanium is reported here. The mitogenome is a circular DNA molecule with a length of 14,756 base pairs (bp), and it contains 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and 1 putative control region. Phylogenetic analysis of 30 Arachnida species was performed based on the amino acid datasets of 13 PCGs, and the result indicated Pseudoscorpiones is the sister lineage of Acariformes. This result is congruent with the former phylogenetic results of mitogenomes, but incongruent with the results of morphological characters and/or ribosomal DNA data that indicated Pseudoscorpiones are positioned in a clade with the Solifugae.

First report of the genus Cratera (Platyhelminthes, Geoplanidae) in Argentina, with description of a new species and comments on the species of the genus.

Project description:A new species of land planarians of the genus Cratera is described. Cratera viridimaculata sp. n. was recorded in the Atlantic Forest Ecoregion, in north-eastern Argentina, and represents the first report of the genus Cratera outside Brazil. The new species is about 50 mm in length and externally characterized by a color pattern consisting of a light green olive pigmentation on the dorsum, stippled with dark gray fine spots, and dorsal eyes. Other features regarding the internal anatomy are the presence of a glandular margin, Cutaneous Muscular Index (CMI) of 10-13%, pharynx cylindrical, prostatic vesicle extrabulbar, tubular and C-shaped, with a proximal bifurcated portion, penis papilla protrusible with ejaculatory duct widened in its distal portion, and female atrium funnel-shaped. The new species is compared and discussed with its congeners.

Morphological and cytogenetic characteristics of Neobisium (Blothrus) slovacum Gulicka, 1977 (Pseudoscorpiones, Neobisiidae), the northernmost troglobitic species of the subgenus Blothrus in Europe.

Project description:A redescription is provided of the adult, tritonymph and deutonymph life stages of the troglobitic Neobisium (Blothrus) slovacum Gulička, 1977, which is known from Slovakia and Hungary. Material examined included 35 previously deposited museum specimens and 15 newly collected specimens. In addition, the karyotype and distribution of 18S rDNA clusters are described, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The male karyotype of N.slovacum comprises 69 chromosomes, with a predominance of biarmed chromosomes, and an X0 sex chromosome system. Two pairs of signals for 18S rDNA on biarmed chromosomes (submetacentric and metacentric) of different sizes were identified. The present study provides the first information about the distribution of these clusters in the arachnid order Pseudoscorpiones. The geographic distribution of the species is summarized and mapped. Neobisiumslovacum is endemic to the Slovak and Aggtelek Karst area in southern Slovakia and north-western Hungary, where it has been recorded from 16 caves. One of these, Hačavská cave (in Slovakia), is the northernmost locality known for any species of the subgenus Blothrus.

Comments on the genus Diplura C. L. Koch, 1850, with description of two new species (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Dipluridae).

Project description:Two new species of Diplura C. L. Koch 1850 are described from Brazil: Diplura mapinguarisp. n., from the state of Rondônia in southeastern Amazonia, northern Brazil, and Diplura rodrigoisp. n., known from southeastern and central west regions of Brazil. Diplura rodrigoisp. n. is morphologically similar to D. lineata (Lucas, 1857), D. sanguinea (F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1896), and D. mapinguarisp. n. Comments on diagnostic characters of Diplura are included. The synonymy of D. maculata (Mello-Leitão, 1927) with D. catharinensis (Mello-Leitão, 1923) is corroborated. A classification of color pattern of the dorsum of the abdomen is given.

Four new species of Lesticus (Carabidae, Pterostichinae) from China and supplementary comments on the genus.

Project description:The genus Lesticus in China was studied, with descriptions of four new species: L.auripennis sp. n. (Guangdong: Nanling, 24.93°N, 112.09°E); L.bii sp. n. (Xizang: Mêdog, 29.32°N, 95.34°E); L.xiaodongi sp. n. (Yunnan: Yingjiang, 24.71°N, 97.58°E); and L.violaceous sp. n. (Yunnan: Yingjiang, 24.71°N, 97.58°E). One new synonym is proposed: L.dubius Dubault, Lassalle & Roux, is a junior synonym of L.solidus Roux & Shi. An improved key and a catalogue accommodating all known Chinese Lesticus species are provided. Species relationships and the evolution of endophallic and other characters are preliminarily discussed.
