South of Honduras, the family is represented only by species of the genus Cryptotis Pomel, 1848. In South America, soricids are restricted to moist, high-elevation environments above 1000 m, and their distribution appears to be discontinuous. Study of specimens from a previous gap in the known geographical range of shrews in the Central Cordillera of southwestern Colombia reveals the presence of two unique populations that are distinguishable from each other and their congeners by a combination of morphological and morphometrical characters. They are described herein as, Cryptotis huttereri, n. sp. and Cryptotis andinus, n. sp. Both species are members of the Cryptotis thomasi group, one of five species groups of small-eared shrews defined partly on the basis of postcranial morphology and potential locomotor behavior. Although species in the C. thomasi group share similar postcranial architecture, as exemplified by the morphology of the forelimb, the group appears to be polyphyletic, implying convergence in locomotor behavior, possibly one uniquely adapted for Andean-type montane habitats. Recognition of C. huttereri and C. andinus brings the total number of known South American soricids to 19 species, with 11 species occurring in Colombia. Of those, seven species are endemic to that country.","PeriodicalId":50771,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Carnegie Museum","volume":"67 11","pages":"203 - 234"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139272609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Known mostly from their relatively unspecialized tribosphenic dentitions, various taxa currently placed in the family Nyctitheriidae have previously been considered to belong to such disparate extinct eutherian families as Leptictidae and Adapisoriculidae, and some have even been considered to be early bats. Here we describe a large collection of nyctitheres from the late Paleocene (early Clarkforkian) of Big Multi Quarry in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, USA, representing the most diverse faunal assemblage of nyctitheres currently known. Big Multi Quarry is unique among currently known Clarkforkian sites because of its excellent preservation of microvertebrates, including hundreds of specimens belonging to Eulipotyphla, Primatomorpha, Metatheria, and Multituberculata. The Big Multi fauna includes at least eight species of nyctitheres and preserves the earliest known occurrences of the genera Ceutholestes Rose and Gingerich, 1987, and Plagioctenoides Bown, 1979, as well as additional specimens belonging to the species Limaconyssus habrus Gingerich, 1987, and Wyonycteris chalix Gingerich, 1987. New species of nyctitheres from this fauna include: Ceutholestes acerbus, new species; Plagioctenoides cryptos, new species; Plagioctenodon dawsonae, new species; and Plagioctenodon goliath, new species. This large sample of nyctitheres enhances our knowledge of the anatomy of several poorly known taxa including those comprising the subfamily Placentidentinae, for which we provide an emended diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":50771,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Carnegie Museum","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135084412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kohls (1940) suggested that there are intergrades of these subspecies in sympatric areas of southeastern Washington and Oregon, south central Idaho, and Utah. Kohl's conclusions were based on traditional morphological features of the “clasper” (basimere and telomere) and chaetotaxy of the outer surface of the hind tibia. These morphological features, and that of the aedeagus, have never been critically studied until now. The aedeagi of both taxa were examined and several consistent structures separate these closely allied species. The median dorsal lobe and apex of the sclerotized inner tube show little variation, although they are distinctly different among the sympatric populations and are consistent in peripheral populations. These characters are stable with little variation and their structure appears to be sufficiently different to potentially inhibit interbreeding that typically occurs where subspecies meet. These characters are valid distinguishing characters even when males of both species occur simultaneously on the same host. These newly reognized static characters of the aedeagus are illustrated. The lateral surface of the hind tibia is the most valid criterion for separation of females of the two species, although this cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. Spilopsyllus inaequalis interrupta is herein elevated to full specific status (Spilopsyllus interruptus) (Amended Status).

Although previously suggested as a synonym of Leptictis montanus (Douglas, 1905), L. intermedius is recognized as a distinct species based on its smaller size, cranial features (narrower zygomatic arch, single squamosal sinus canal, large suprameatal foramen), and dental features (paraconule transversely elongated and more lingual than metaconule on P5–M3; and metacone moderately to well developed on M3). Leptictis thomsoni (Matthew, 1903) is referred to a new genus, Stenoleptictis based on previously undescribed lower dentitions and crania from both Pipestone Springs (type locality) and McCarty's Mountain. The most diagnostic characters of Stenolepticis thomsoni (Matthew, 1903), new combination, are the lingually narrower upper cheek teeth with reduced anterior cingula and the presence of more lateral, lyrate parasagittal crests on the cranium, features unreported in any other leptictids.","PeriodicalId":50771,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Carnegie Museum","volume":"15 1","pages":"309 - 326"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84597972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
