The mitochondrial genomes ranged in size from 14,422 bp to 15,458 bp, with A+T content varying between 67.00% and 74.53%. All PCGs and rRNA were successfully identified, though tRNAs exhibited widespread loss. Additionally, supplementary control region sequences were identified in three species. Beyond sequence data, the arrangement of mitochondrial genes can provide additional phylogenetically relevant information. The mitogenome arrangements in S.alcyona, S.cataracta, S.lufengia, and S.mazbii are consistent with the inferred ancestral arrangement in Myriapoda, but Scolopendramultidens had a duplication of tRNA and S.calcarata underwent a significant gene rearrangement. The Tandem Duplication/Random Loss model and tRNA mispriming mode were determined as most likely explanations for the observed gene rearrangements. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed using the six newly sequenced mitogenomes and published mitochondrial data from other Chilopoda species. The results revealed two major monophyletic clades within Scolopendra: one comprising S.alcyona, S.dehaani, S.cataracta, S.lufengia, S.morsitans, S.multidens, and S.mutilans, and the other uniting S.mazbii and S.calcarata. Notably, S.subspinipes unexpectedly clustered with Scolopocryptops sp., challenging the monophyly of Scolopendra and highlighting the need for revised taxonomic evaluations. These results enhance our understanding of gene rearrangements and evolutionary dynamics in Scolopendromorpha, offering critical insights into their phylogenetic relationships.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1248 ","pages":"341-358"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12361922/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144972028","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}

Specimens of L.obscura are poorly represented in historic collections and were infrequently collected; additionally, the species was originally overlooked as a unique taxon due in part to its small size and superficial morphologic similarities to Lasmigonasubviridis (Conrad, 1835) and Alasmidonta spp. Phylogenetic results place the new species sister to, but consistently distinct from, Alasmidonta s.s. We offer a suite of field-ready diagnostics to differentiate L.obscura from similar and co-occurring species and briefly discuss the species' unique phylogenetic placement, which warrants the recognition of a new genus. Importantly, L.obscura appears to be a \"microendemic\" species with a remarkably limited documented range of approximately 13 km within two small, adjacent watersheds of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River drainage. Despite intensive surveys, the extant population is currently known from an approximately 7 km contiguous reach of one stream, making this newly-discovered species a high conservation priority.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1248 ","pages":"245-265"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12355189/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875507","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}

(2023) were found to be incorrect. In this paper a revised species list is provided, with a small batch of previously unidentified material collected from a second biotope, Garaat Djamel, located 60 km west of Lake Tonga. A total of 42 species were identified, belonging to the families Gyrinidae, Haliplidae, Noteridae, Hygrobiidae, Dytiscidae, Dryopidae, Helophoridae, Hydrochidae, Hydrophilidae, and Hydraenidae, hosting approximately 13% of the Algerian aquatic beetle fauna, with the vast majority of this diversity concentrated in Lake Tonga, underscoring its status as a key hotspot of aquatic beetle biodiversity in the region. Five of the identified species are new records for Algeria: Helophoruscf.paraminutus Angus, 1986, Amphiopssenegalensis (Laporte, 1840), Enochrusnatalensis (Gemminger & Harold, 1868), Crephelochares ?livornicus (Kuwert, 1890) and Ochthebiusfallaciosus Ganglbauer, 1901. Hydrochusgrandicollis Kiesenwetter, 1870, and Coelostomahispanicum (Küster, 1848), recently recorded from Algeria, but omitted from major catalogues, are here confirmed for the country. Furthermore, the discovery of a male of the poorly known Haliplusruficeps Chevrolat, 1806 represents the first documented record of this species in more than a century. Photographs of the habitus and male genitalia of H.ruficeps and of the newly recorded species are provided. At present, Algeria supports 301 species of aquatic Coleoptera across 84 genera and 17 families. A comprehensive and updated checklist is also given, with a discussion on several doubtful or unconfirmed records.","PeriodicalId":24051,"journal":{"name":"ZooKeys","volume":"1248 ","pages":"225-243"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12355190/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144875513","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}
