China is the country with the second highest diversity of freshwater mussels in the world. Rhombuniopsis is a genus of freshwater mussels endemic to the ancient lakes and surrounding area in Yunnan Province, China. Species in this genus are threatened with extinction and have not been recorded alive for many years. We present a revision of Rhombuniopsis based on the morphological study of the museum materials and newly collected specimens, and propose two species new to science: Rhombuniopsis linan sp. nov. and Rhombuniopsis songmeng sp. nov. The two new species are considered extinct because the lakes they inhabited were completely dried up due to human activity. We compare our recent data with the historical studies to trace the population change of the Rhombuniopsis species in different lakes. We revise the distribution and assess the conservation status for each species. The present work confirms the importance of conservation of molluscs in the ancient lakes of Yunnan and suggest that several species are already extinct.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":507495,"journal":{"name":"Zootaxa","volume":"61 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141643806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These three species share a combination of morphological and chaetotaxic characters that can be used for positive identification of larvae of this genus: head capsule with pores FC1 present, second antennomeres with two well-developed distal sensory appendages, maxillary seta Cdo1 very reduced, thoracic subprimary setae Dd’ absent, subprimary setae Dc’ minute and inserted on the boundary between pretergal and tergal areas, urogomphi moderately separated at the base, anal lobe with well-developed dorsal, lateral and ventral plates, and a lack of anal hooks. Some insights on the gut-contents of the larva of P. wolfbergensis are offered and an unusual urogomphal malformation observed in a larva of P. nitens is also described and illustrated.

Four of these genera were registered in the Americas, and two parasitizing rodents in Argentina. In this paper, specimens of the genus Hippocrepis parasitizing Holochilus brasiliensis from Argentina are studied on the basis of morphological and molecular characteristics. Eleven Ho. brasiliensis specimens were collected in seven localities from the Cuenca del Plata region. A total of 192 specimens of digeneans were found in a single Ho. brasiliensis. Conventional morphological and molecular analyses were used. The digenean specimens were identified as Hippocrepis fuelleborni. Furthermore, the molecular characterization of three genetic markers for Hi. fuelleborni is provided. This study contributes to the first record of the genus Hippocrepis in cricetid rodents. The continuity of the studies on this genus and the incorporation of more haplotypes from different genera of Notocotylidae will allow us to recognize the relationship among genera and provide a new systematic proposal.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":507495,"journal":{"name":"Zootaxa","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141641436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a lion’s share of the species belonging to this genus are poorly known except the original descriptions. In this article, we provide a brief overview of all known species currently assigning to this genus. We divide the species into albida, bicolora, bipuncta, flavia, fulvia, hyalina, and subtilis species groups on the basis of wing pattern elements along with geographic distributions, and four highly obscure species are discussed as a miscellaneous group. Among the species, Schistophleps bipuncta Hampson, 1891 is the most frequently occurring taxon having a distribution stretching all over the South East Asia. However, the variable wing maculations and other features, reflected through the observations on various citizen science platforms from different regions of the Indian subcontinent indicate to a sibling species yet to discover. Herein, we describe the species as Schistophleps kendricki Rayhan, Bucsek, & Jahan sp. nov., from Chittagong, Bangladesh that is similar to the Schistophleps bipuncta species group in wing maculation, but markedly differs from all of its closely allied congeners in the genitalia configurations in having characteristic modification of uncus. Besides, a comparison of observations on different citizen science platforms from the Indian subcontinent is provided that suggests the possible distribution of this new species throughout the Bengal including West Bengal, India and Bangladesh. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":507495,"journal":{"name":"Zootaxa","volume":"17 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141645870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
