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Based on recent and on-going research, a review of many of the original documents is presented here, revealing hitherto unpublished details about who collected and donated mammals to the expedition.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":null,"pages":null},"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. Nous recommandons donc d'examiner systématiquement les caractères ici fournis pour les déterminations non seulement d'Oxyloma sarsii, mais aussi d'O. elegans et de Succinea putris (Linnaeus, 1758), deux espèces souvent présentes au sein des mêmes habitats.","PeriodicalId":51223,"journal":{"name":"Zoosystema","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44314664","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}

Distichlicoccus takumasae n. sp. (Pseudococcidae Cockerell, 1905) is distinguished by having a few oral rim tubular ducts on both dorsum and venter and absence of circulus. Paraputo nasai n. sp. (Pseudococcidae) is characterized by having 16 pairs of cerarii, uniformity of length of its dorsal setae on all segments, and the sizes of oral collar tubular ducts. Pseudococcus luciae n. sp.

This is what wrote Lamarck in a report made in June 1804. This number was clearly reduced by Lamarck himself who, in his 1816 publication, listed only 15 species from the South Seas in the Paris Museum collection. However, the different asteroids collected during the expedition were drawn by Lesueur (water colours and pencil drawings) who thus realised a real pictorial register. Lesueur's drawings are housed in the Le Havre Museum. Due to their realism and precision, the drawings make it easy to identify the species. Confrontation of Lamarck's report (1804) and publication (1816) with Lesueur's drawings (done between 1802 and 1804) gives a new, more precise idea of the importance of the collection of South Seas asteroids brought back to France and allows to reliably count the number of new species that it contained. Also, this makes it possible to complete the often too brief descriptions of some Lamarckian species and to clarify their status. Eleven taxonomic changes are thus proposed here: Asterias calcar var. quinqueangula is synonymized with Parvulastra exigua (Lamarck, 1816), Asterias calcitrapa var. 1 with Bollonaster pectinatus (Sladen, 1883), Asterias calcitrapa var. 2 with Astropecten vappa Müller & Troschel, 1843, Asterias nodosa var. 3 with Protoreaster lincki (Blainville, 1830), Asterias pentagonula with Tosia australis Gray, 1840, Asterias pleyadella with Protoreaster sp., Asterias punctata with Asteropsis carinifera (Lamarck, 1816), Asterias rosacea var. lobis senis with Anseropoda sp., Asteriscus setaceus with Paranepanthia grandis (H.
