Molecular phylogenetic analysis using 13 protein-coding genes of the mitochondrial genome indicated that this new species is most closely related to M. intrudens. Within their overlapping distributions, analyses based on partial sequences of the mitochondrial COI gene showed that the two species are phylogenetically distinct. The queens of M. brachypterum are distinguished from those of M. intrudens by degenerated wings, suggesting contrasting dispersal strategies between the two sister species. In addition, a phylogenetic analysis performed for the Japanese Monomorium species provides support for the repeated evolution of diverse reproductive systems within this genus. The present study highlights a wide variety of evolutionary trends in the nest-level reproductive system, even among closely related species.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1250 ","pages":"49-78"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12406028/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While several Central Asian countries have been the subject of malacological reviews, Kazakhstan, the largest country of the region, lacks a comprehensive and taxonomically updated species list. The aim of this study is to consolidate all available data on Kazakhstan's freshwater molluscs, critically analyse their species composition, and assess the level of endemism in this group across the country. Based on the analysis of museum collections and literature sources, we estimate the species richness of freshwater molluscs in Kazakhstan at 87 species (55 Gastropoda and 32 Bivalvia), with an expected total of 93 species. Overall, species richness declines from the forest-steppe zone in the north and northeast toward the arid and mountainous regions in the south and southwest. Six potentially endemic species were identified; however, the taxonomic status of some requires further verification. The freshwater malacofauna of Kazakhstan has been affected by recent invasions, with at least seven species classified as neo-biotic, and for some, we hypothesise a recolonisation of habitats lost during the Pleistocene.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1250 ","pages":"79-103"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12406024/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145001564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, T. lannaensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from other congeners, including T. ruttneri, by the following characters of the male P5: (1) the inner margin of the right basis has one small semicircular knob and one triangular knob; (2) the right second exopodal segment has a long, slender accessory spine inserted at the proximal third of the outer margin; and (3) the inner margin of the left exopod has a bilobed saw with a series of large denticles and smaller denticles near the distal end. Tropodiaptomus kampucheaensis sp. nov. is different from all other species because it has (1) only one longitudinal hyaline lamella on the inner margin of the basis of the male right P5; (2) the one-lobed distal inner margin on the male left P5 exopod with uniform teeth; (3) the asymmetrical female genital-double somite (right margin expanded sub-proximally); and (4) the extraordinarily long inner seta on the P4 coxa of both sexes.
