We conducted a sampling campaign in the context of the program “Our Planet Reviewed”, with the aim to increase sampling coverage and to analyze already known regional diversity with a combination of classical morpho-anatomic characters and DNA barcoding. We sampled a total of 31 locations, and identified 22 previously recorded species and eight new citations belonging to the families Acanthodrilidae Claus, 1880, Hormogastridae Michaelsen, 1900 and Lumbricidae Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1815. We obtained 525 COI barcodes which clustered into 48 genetic lineages, highlighting the importance of molecular techniques for earthworm diversity surveys. Of these lineages, ten are supported by multiple lines of evidence and will be described in a forthcoming taxonomy paper as species new to science. Biogeographical affinities of the identified species showed a lower rate of cosmopolitan species compared to other Mediterranean islands, a certain degree of affinity with Italy and Sardinia, and a high rate of endemism (which could be mirrored by the Balearic Islands and Sardinia). Comparative phylogeographic analyses are needed to understand the history of colonization and diversification of earthworms on Mediterranean islands, and to investigate the drivers that shaped differences in their diversity. RÉSUMÉ Liste actualisée et bibliothèque de codes-barres ADN pour les vers de terre (Crassiclitellata, Oligochaeta) de Corse, France. Les études disponibles sur la faune lombricienne de la Corse font état d'un total de 36 espèces, mais cette diversité régionale est probablement sous-estimée si l'on considère les efforts d'échantillonnage relativement modestes réalisés jusqu'à présent. Nous avons mené une campagne d'échantillonnage dans le cadre du programme « La Planète Revisitée», avec comme objectif d'augmenter la couverture d'échantillonnage et d'analyser la diversité régionale en combinant l'utilisation des caractères morpho-anatomiques classiques à celle des codes-barres ADN. Nous avons échantillonné un total de 31 sites, ce qui a permis d'identifier 22 espèces précédemment citées et huit nouvelles signalisations appartenant aux familles Acanthodrilidae Claus, 1880, Hormogastridae Michaelsen, 1900 et Lumbricidae Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1815. Nous avons obtenu 525 codes-barres ADN qui nous ont permis de délimiter 48 lignées génétiques, soulignant l'importance des techniques moléculaires pour inventorier la diversité des vers de terre. Parmi ces lignées, dix sont soutenues par la morphologie et seront décrites comme espèces nouvelles pour la science dans un article de taxonomie à venir.

It is traditionally attributed to morphological Group IV of Helicometra spp., characterized by a cup-shaped oral sucker with a terminal mouth opening. Helicometra antarcticae, similar to other Antarctic representatives of the genus, is quite rare and poorly studied. We redescribe this species based on newly collected material from the Antarctic toothfish, Dissostichus mawsoni Norman, 1937 (Nototheniidae Günther, 1861) caught in the Ross Sea (Antarctica) and evaluate its phylogenetic position using a fragment of the nuclear 28S rRNA gene. We provide new morphological details on H. antarcticae concerning the arrangement of the ventral part of the fields of vitelline follicles and the morphology of the proximal portion of the oviduct. Additionally, we describe the morphology of Helicometra sp. (morphological Group IV) from the Pacific zoarcid fish, Lycodes cf. brunneofasciatus Suvorov, 1935, caught off Simushir Island (Pacific Ocean) and Helicometra fasciata sensu lato (morphological Group I), from the black scorpion fish Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758 from the Black Sea. In our phylogenetic analysis, H. antarcticae clustered with a Pacific Helicometra sp. This clade has a sister relationship to the well-supported clade containing Helicometrina nimia Linton, 1910 and Helicometra spp. of Groups I and III respectively, including H. fasciata sensu lato from the Black Sea. Thus, our phylogenetic data indicate that Helicometra is not a monophyletic genus.

Español Coll (Museo de Zoología, Barcelona), explored the ex-Spanish Sahara (from Cap Juby to Cap Blanc) according to a standardised protocol. Collected specimens and types of newly described taxa were deposited in the museums of Madrid and Barcelona and the results of the surveys published in the journal EOS. In total, 356 species and subspecies of Polyneoptera, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera have been collected. This large-scale entomological survey is presently little considered, mainly because the published locality names are no more in use and difficult to georeference. We have reconstructed the routes of the eight missions carried out by Morales Agacino, Giner Marí and Mateu Sanpere using old maps of the Spanish Sahara (1949) and recent maps of southern Morocco. 134 collection sites have been identified, listed with old and actual toponyms, geographical coordinates and elements of topographical descriptions. Lists of the species collected during these expeditions for the Insecta Orthoptera, Blattodea, Mantodea, Dermaptera, Phasmatodea, Coleoptera (Carabidae Latreille, 1802 and Tenebrionidae Latreille, 1802), and Hymenoptera (Sphecidae Latreille, 1802, Crabronidae Latreille, 1802, Pompilidae Latreille, 1805, Bradynobaenidae Saussure, 1892 and Mutillidae Latreille, 1802) are given.

Examples of acridomorph Saharan and Mediterranean indicator species are given, using their separate distributions in the local west-east climate continuum.

Herein, a maximum parsimony phylogenetic analysis with morphological characters (2519 scorings; 28 taxa; 105 characters) was performed under equal and implied weights to test the monophyly of Paradiscocyrtus for the first time. According to the relatively stable results obtained, herein: 1) the transfer of Paradiscocyrtus cerayanus Roewer, 1929 to Discocyrtus Holmberg, 1878 (forming Discocyrtus cerayanus n. comb.) is proposed, and Paradiscocyrtus becomes monotypic (represented only by its type species); 2) the assignment of Paradiscocyrtus trochanteralis Roewer, 1929 (already detected as junior synonym of Bunopachylus orientalis (Roewer, 1913)) to Roeweriinae Carvalho & Kury, 2018 is corroborated; 3) the presence of Paradiscocyrtus in DRMN-group is detected and its relationship with Discocyrtus sensu stricto is discussed. Paradiscocyrtus can be separated from Discocyrtus s. str. by some external characters (as dorsal scutum gamma-type, a pair of finger-phalanx-shaped spines on the scutal area III and coxa IV retrolateral apophysis with the same length as the prolateral) and genital characters (as the stylus of glans slightly dorsally convex).

These are taxonomically complicated species that were recently, either resurrected (D. proarchos Wall, 1909, D. biloreatus Wall, 1908) or redefined (D. cyanochloris (Wall, 1921)). In the light of morphological and molecular data, we confirm the validity of D. proarchos from Mizoram, Northeast India, and subsequently confer the specimen of D. pictus (Gmelin, 1789) (CHS791) from Hainan (China) to D. proarchos. We also provide the first molecular phylogenetic data for the lesser-known species D. biloreatus as well as the first molecular samples of D. cyanochloris from Mizoram, Northeast India which seems to be the closest sample from Darjeeling, India (type locality). Apart from this, we also affirm the southwestern population in the distribution range of the latter species as D. cyanochloris sensu stricto, while conferring the southern population from Pinag Island, Malaysia to D. vogeli Jiang, Ren, Guo, Wang, Ding & Li, 2020, and the northeastern populations comprising Kachin (Myanmar), Tibet, Yunnan and Hainan (China) to D. ngansonensis (Bourret, 1935). Our present mitochondrial gene trees using the genes 16S rRNA, COI, and Cytb suggest the presence of cryptic diversity within several Dendrelaphis species, which will require rigorous genetic sampling and integrative taxonomic analysis to examine whether these lineages represent distinct species. This study also presents natural history and additional data on the distributional localities of Dendrelaphis species from Mizoram State, Northeast India.","PeriodicalId":51223,"journal":{"name":"Zoosystema","volume":"44 1","pages":"177 - 196"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42320242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
