These species are herein formally described: Cambeva diffusa n. sp., Cambeva duplimaculata n. sp., Cambeva grisea n. sp., Cambeva imaruhy n. sp., Cambeva longipalata n. sp., Cambeva notabilis n. sp., Cambeva orbitofrontalis n. sp., Cambeva panthera n. sp., Cambeva pericoh n. sp., and Cambeva urubici n. sp. They are diagnosed based on external morphology and osteological characters, which indicate that they belong to five intrageneric lineages. Most species occur in small areas, and some are rare. Five of these species here described are endemic to the upper Rio Uruguai basin, in a western open plateau belonging to the Araucaria Forest biogeographical province, and other five to the Rio Araranguá and Rio Tubarão basins, in the eastern forested plateau belonging to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biogeographical province. The reported data suggest that some lineages are adapted to live in specific altitudinal zones, including the occurrence of three new species closely related to C. tropeira (Ferrer & Malabarba, 2011) found between 905 and 1325 m asl, contrasting with C. brachykechenos (Ferrer & Malabarba, 2013) and Cambeva grisea n. sp. found between 155 and 300 m asl. Finally, we compare the studied area to another mountain area, the Maciço de Itatiaia nucleus of the Serra da Mantiqueira in south-eastern Brazil, where a high number of endemic species have been recorded.","PeriodicalId":51223,"journal":{"name":"Zoosystema","volume":"43 1","pages":"659 - 690"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45006529","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}

Mormyrus subundulatus Roberts, 1989 was described in 1989, and, although morphologically and genetically close to Mormyrus rume Valenciennes, 1847, is still considered by the most recent studies as a distinct species. It is endemic to the Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana River systems. It was historically recorded from only three locations but is today very likely extirpated from one of them and threatened in the remaining two. It is categorized as “Vulnerable B1ab(iii)” by the IUCN Red List (Dankwa 2020). Although a few papers describe precisely the morphology and electric signal of the species, they are based on a very limited number of samples. In this paper, we present new data on the morphological characteristics of the species (extending the dorsal fin rays count range, which is the main morphometric criterium to distinguish M. subundulatus and M. rume) based on Museum samples and samples collected recently a few kilometers away from the type locality. Determination of the newly collected material was confirmed by the analysis of a fragment of the Cytochrome b gene, and we produced the first sequence fragment of the cytochrome oxydase subunit 1 (COI) for this species.","PeriodicalId":51223,"journal":{"name":"Zoosystema","volume":"43 1","pages":"649 - 658"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49352671","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}

Ghatiana rouxi n. sp. is differentiated from congeners by its proportionately narrower adult carapace with the gently convex lateral margins. Sahyadriana inopinata n. sp. is characterized by a suite of characters that includes the visible epibranchial tooth, the relatively slenderer and longer terminal segment of the male first gonopod, and the subovate and relatively smaller adult vulva that is positioned a clear distance from the suture between thoracic sternites 5 and 6. Sahyadriana keshari n. sp. differs from the allied S. waghi (Pati in Pati, Thackeray & Khaire, 2016) by the relatively stouter terminal segment of the male first gonopod, and the relatively larger adult vulva, which is positioned close to the suture between thoracic sternites 5 and 6.

Based on the genetic identification of 270 individuals it was hypothesized that T. aquitania and T. europaea Linnaeus, 1758 are allopatric, being distributed on opposite sides of the Loire River, with the exception of a small area of sympatry in eastern Pyrénées mountains. The aim of the present study is to get a better understanding of the distribution of these two species in France based on the re-identification of museum specimens and extensive field sampling through a citizen science study. 1099 specimens were identified at the specific level (574 T. europaea and 525 T. aquitania) based on external characteristics, molar tooth morphology and/or genetic data. Our results confirm that T. aquitania is mainly distributed south and west of the Loire River, while the reverse is true for T. europaea. However, the Loire River is not a strict biogeographic barrier between these two species: several specimens of T. aquitania were recorded north and east of the Loire River in the Loire-Atlantique, Loiret and Nièvre departments. Moreover, two specimens were captured in the Var department. Several specimens of T. europaea were captured south and west of the Loire River in the Indre-et-Loire, Loir-et-Cher, Loiret and Loire departments. Furthermore, both species were found in sympatry or in close proximity in the Pyrénées Mountains. The role of climate, soil type, food resources abundance (earthworms) and historical factors in explaining the actual distribution of these species is discussed.","PeriodicalId":51223,"journal":{"name":"Zoosystema","volume":"43 1","pages":"585 - 617"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41937840","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}

Ninety-four species were recorded in total on both islands. Forty-one are strictly endemic to one of the two islands, 16 are endemic to the South Indian Ocean Province, and only three were recorded on other sub-Antarctic islands. Beetles and more particularly weevils are the most characteristic group of the fauna of these islands: they include 35 species of which 89% are native and 66% are endemic. One third of the species (30 of 94) are non-indigenous species now naturalized.

Additionally, specimens were donated or purchased from locations not visited including the Comoros, Madagascar and Sumatra. Unfortunately, Baudin died at Île de France on the return trip so the responsibility of the account of the voyage was given to other members of the expedition. Responsibility for writing up the primary account of the voyage was granted to François Péron, who published the first volume of the narrative of the Voyage de Découvertes aux Terres Australes in 1807. Following his death in 1810, the second volume of the narrative was completed by Louis de Freycinet and published in 1816. The other four volumes of the Voyage included three atlases (the first by expedition artists Charles-Alexandre Lesueur and Nicolas-Martin Petit in 1807 and the second and third by Freycinet in 1811 and 1812), and a volume entitled Navigation et Géographie by Freycinet in 1815. Based on recent and on-going research, a review of many of the original documents is presented here, revealing hitherto unpublished details about who collected and donated mammals to the expedition. Research was conducted mainly in the collections of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN) in Paris and their associated acquisition books. The Baudin expedition was responsible for an unprecedented collection of over 100 000 specimens of natural history, which remains the single largest collection of natural history specimens from Australia. A total of 101 mammal taxa relating to the Baudin expedition were identified during this study, which included 51 species described as a result of the expedition and 50 species that were described either before or subsequently, but not associated with the expedition. Of the taxa described, 20 species and three subspecies are currently recognised valid. During this study 43 museum specimens that were referable to 29 taxa were identified and at least five specimens seem to have been misplaced based on the information available. These specimens were derived from 24 holotypes, four paratypes, three syntypes, five lectotypes, and six paralectotypes and one topotype that are currently held at the MNHN. Some of these specimens are part of the estimated 51 mammals that were brought back alive to France on the boats. Charles-Alexandre Lesueur's illustrations complemented this study; of the 177 that are held at the Muséum d'Histoire naturelle du Havre, 149 could be attributed to one or more species and 28 were of unidentified species.","PeriodicalId":51223,"journal":{"name":"Zoosystema","volume":"43 1","pages":"387 - 548"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43361652","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}

C'est particulièrement le cas entre Oxyloma elegans (Risso, 1826) et Oxyloma sarsii (Esmark, 1886) dont la taxonomie est à peine stabilisée. En effet, différents noms ont été utilisés alternativement pour ces deux espèces créant ainsi une confusion sur la délimitation et la connaissance des taxons réellement impliqués. Les critères diagnostiques permettant de les distinguer reposent sur des caractères morpho-anatomiques uniquement accessibles par dissection. À l'occasion de la découverte d'Oxyloma sarsii dans l'extrême nord-est de la France, en Alsace et en Franche-Comté, nous illustrons les caractères qui apparaissent les plus pertinents pour son identification, caractères rarement illustrés dans la littérature spécialisée. Oxyloma sarsii se distingue aisément des autres espèces par l'insertion du canal de la bourse copulatrice au niveau de la partie distale du vagin, lequel est très allongé et présente une forme caractéristique en « S». Par ailleurs, les tailles de la coquille et les habitats de l'espèce classiquement donnés dans les guides de détermination ne recouvrent que partiellement la réelle variabilité intra- et inter-populationnelle de l'espèce. Nous montrons ici que la hauteur des coquilles peut s'étendre au moins de 7,1 à 17,4 mm alors que la littérature considère l'intervalle de 10 à 15 mm, exceptionnellement 20 mm.
