The species is immediately distinguished from all congeners by the absence of any dark melanophore-based markings in live specimens, with both the midlateral stripe and caudal peduncle spot inconspicuously evidenced in alcohol preserved specimens by the presence of scarce and scattered melanophores. It further differs by having 7-9 cusps on premaxillary teeth (vs. 4-5 in S. microdon, and S. potiguar), 36-39 scales in the longitudinal series (vs. ≤35 in S. aster, S. calliurus, S. malabarbai, S. kriegi, S. micropterus, S. notomelas, and S. piaba), incomplete lateral line (vs. complete in S. heterodon), and 16-18 ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays (vs. 11-13 in S. zanatae). The discovery of this species in a small, clear-water headwater highlights the still underestimated diversity and endemism in the upper Paraguai basin and reinforces the conservation priority of these highland aquatic systems.","PeriodicalId":24072,"journal":{"name":"Zootaxa","volume":"5839 2","pages":"372-380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148399678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the three known species of Mesacturoides, M. dewyseasp. nov. is morphologically most similar to M. fimbriatus (Lenz, 1905), sharing the aforementioned combination of characters and exhibiting an overlapping range in telson spiniform denticle number associated with growth. However, careful examination of specimens of comparable size demonstrates that the new species is consistently distinguished by the complete absence of accessory median carinae on the telson. As a result, the genus Mesacturoides currently comprises four species, including the new species described herein.

In this paper, we present a fully illustrated key to the Silphinae of eastern North America (U.S. states entirely east of the Mississippi River and Canadian provinces east of the Ontario-Manitoba border) that reflects these faunal changes. We focus on the silphine fauna of Kentucky and include the single species of Agyrtidae (primitive carrion beetles), as common sampling methods will often pick up members of both groups. We include 22 species of Silphinae and one species of Agyrtidae in our key, and we report one species of Agyrtidae and 11 species of Silphinae from Kentucky, including one new state record (Nicrophorus defodiens). We present the following information for each eastern North American species in an annotated list: diagnostic characters, recent taxonomic changes (if applicable), life history information and more detailed information for Kentucky species including counties, collecting years and months, collections housing the specimens, and collecting methods. Distribution maps for Kentucky specimens are presented. Using this dataset, the bias-corrected iChao2 species richness estimator predicted that 12 species should be found in Kentucky, indicating that our sampling is likely complete.","PeriodicalId":24072,"journal":{"name":"Zootaxa","volume":"5839 1","pages":"71-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148399634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the first description of a member of the Loxosomatidae from Vietnamese waters and from the mangrove ecosystems. The specimens of Loxosomatidae were found on the polychaete of the family Acoetidae. Loxosomella incurva sp. nov. is a medium-sized species with a characteristically curved body-the calyx is inclined toward the short stalk. The calyx bears seven or eight tentacles. Four (or five) sensory papillae are located along the edge of the calyx. Specimens attach to the host's body with an elongated narrow platform at the end of the stalk. Buds lack a pedal disc or a creeping foot and instead possess a unique annular bulge. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of partial sequences of two genetic markers, 28S rRNA and 18S rRNA, revealed a close relationship between L. incurva sp. nov. and two species of the subgenus Loxomitra, L. (L.) tetraorganon and L. (L.) mizugamaensis. Loxosomella incurva sp. nov. does not possess the diagnostic morphological features of Loxomitra: its buds lack the wings at the end of the stalk and attach to the maternal specimen by the base of the stalk, rather than by the back of the stalk or calyx as in Loxomitra. A common feature of all three species within this clade is the absence of a foot at the end of the stalk in the bud. The existing system of Loxosomatidae requires revision, since according to molecular genetic data, neither the genus Loxosoma nor the genus Loxosomella are monophyletic. The creeping foot was likely present in the common ancestor of all Loxosomatidae and has been retained in some lineages while modified in others; therefore, its presence cannot serve as a diagnostic generic character.","PeriodicalId":24072,"journal":{"name":"Zootaxa","volume":"5839 1","pages":"139-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148399687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
