Abstract
Pelecotoides kadazandusunsp. nov., a new ripiphorid species from Malaysian Borneo, is described and illustrated. This represents the second species of Pelecotoides Laporte, 1833 documented from Borneo. We briefly discuss the Ripiphoridae Laporte, 1840 fauna of Borneo and present new records of Micropelecotoides Pic, 1910 from the island. A new combination is made for Pelecotomoides nigrolateralis var. fulvonotata Pic, 1924-Pelecotoides nigrolateralis ssp. fulvonotatuscomb. nov.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
