Species of the genus have adapted to various habitats, inhabiting from shallow to deep water (>3000 m), low latitudinal to polar regions, and with free-living to symbiotic lifestyles. In spite of recent studies, the phylogenetic position of Lebbeus within Thoridae and its internal phylogenetic relationships remain to be explored. In this study, three new species of Lebbeus recently collected from deep water in the Philippine Sea are described using an integrative taxonomic approach. The new species are formally named Lebbeus chunshengisp. nov., Lebbeus lizheisp. nov., and Lebbeus xinzhengisp. nov. herein. The molecular phylogenetic analyses led the authors to revise the internal grouping of Lebbeus, which has long been relied on the development of the pereopodal epipods. It has been clarified that characters derived from the rostrum and carapace better reflect the phylogeny, and this finding prompted us to propose four informal species groups within Lebbeus. Additionally, we tentatively uncovered the phylogenetic position of Lebbeus by reconstructing a backbone phylogeny of Thoridae based on genome-skimming sequencing data. Our phylogeny supports the recent divergence of Lebbeus and its sister-group relationship with Spirontocaris Spence Bate, 1888. However, more extensive taxon sampling is needed to elucidate the monophyly of each thorid genus. This work provides critical baseline data for the conservation and restoration of habitats in the region, and advances our understanding of the diversity of sponge-associated shrimps in deep-sea ecosystems of the Western Pacific.

Clade A was collected closest to the type locality in the near eastern Drakensberg Mountains and is here designated P. depressus s.s., whereas specimens from Ngome Forest and Paardeplaats Nature Reserve are designated as P. ngomiensis sp. nov. and P. paardeplaatsie sp. nov. respectively, whereas the clade from the southern Drakensberg Mountains (clade D) is here designated as P. drakensbergie sp. nov. and sister to P. baziya.

Our morphology-based phylogenetic analysis, in which 56 morphological characters were scored across 11 ingroup and 9 outgroup terminals, recovered 6 synapomorphies supporting the monophyly of the tribe and providing the basis for a revised classification of the group. In addition, we provide the first molecular analysis of Chelodesmidae, based on the nuclear EF1α gene, including six ingroup and four outgroup species, and discuss implications for future phylogenetic studies of the family. Based on our results, we include within Cornalatini the genera Cornalatus Attems, 1931, Leodesmus Mauriès & Geoffroy, 2000, Obiricodesmus Schubart, 1955, Pseudoleptodesmus Brölemann, 1902, and the newly proposed genera Monidracodesmusgen. nov. and Pseudodracodesmusgen. nov. We also describe three new species for the tribe, Leodesmus acutussp. nov. and Leodesmus alambarisp. nov. from limestone caves in São Paulo state, Brazil, and Monidracodesmus maysp. nov. from forested habitats in Bahia state, Brazil. We recognize Cornalatus tabulus Hoffman, 1990 as a junior synonym of Cornalatus permutatus (Attems, 1938), and Obiricodesmus terrigena (Attems, 1943) and Obiricodesmus brasiliae (Brölemann, 1902) as junior synonyms of Obiricodesmus rosascens (Brandt, 1839). Our study clarifies the taxonomy of Cornalatini and provides a solid framework for future studies of Chelodesmidae.

We combine morphological and phylogenomic data for newly collected and historical specimens. A neotype is designated for R. fulvum and a lectotype for R. fuscum to stabilise the application of these names. Six new species are described from the Indo-Pacific: R. acoronatum sp. nov., R. calyaceum sp. nov., R. oblongum sp. nov., R. inaequale sp. nov., R. karibu sp. nov. and R. sperkolae sp. nov. Species delimitation is supported by discrete combinations of morphological characters - particularly those of the tentacle and polyp sclerites - as well as multi-locus DNA barcoding and phylogenomic analyses of conserved elements (UCE and exon loci). Our findings highlight the diagnostic value of tentacle sclerites and reveal extensive species-level diversity that was previously obscured by insufficient morphological examination. The revised genus currently comprises 10 valid species, many of which display restricted geographic distributions, reflecting patterns of regional endemism in Indo-Pacific octocoral assemblages. These results underscore the importance of integrative taxonomy in uncovering hidden biodiversity.

With the vast majority of Australia now covered by dry, fire-tolerant vegetation communities that have evolved since the Eocene, Australia can be considered an arid continent, with xeric habitats of varying degrees of aridity dominating the Arid Zone, Mesic Zone and Monsoon Tropics biomes. Molecular phylogenetic studies exploring the evolutionary and biogeographic histories of Australian arid-adapted lineages cover a wide spectrum of animal and plant taxa, and have together highlighted the important role evolutionary adaptive radiations have played since the Miocene in shaping the composition and distributions of lineages. In this study, we apply a taxon-rich, multi-locus molecular dataset (of 252 specimens), to infer a continent-scale phylogeny of the Australian endemic trapdoor spider genus Idiosoma Ausserer, 1871 (Idiopidae). This mega-diverse lineage of mygalomorph spiders is notable for being found across most of continental mainland Australia in both the Arid Zone and Mesic Zone biomes, in predominantly transitional and arid habitats to the exclusion of ever-wet mesic refugia. Idiosoma is further notable in the sheer variety of different burrow entrance morphologies constructed by species in different parts of Australia, with a suite of taxa known to construct burrows with an unusual and conspicuous addition of leaves or twigs (i.e. 'twig-lines') fanning out from the burrow entrance. This twig-lining behaviour has been postulated to be an adaptive shift associated with higher aridity environments. With the aim of characterising the Idiosoma adaptive radiation, including potential phenotypic adaptive shifts, we revealed a genus with at least 120 putative species in our molecular dataset, and a total Australian fauna that likely exceeds 200 species. Phylogenetic structure within the genus showed remarkably strong geographic fidelity at all levels, indicating an evolutionary history that has been heavily influenced by biogeographic factors. Ancestral range reconstruction recovered a temperate south-western or arid origin for crown-group Idiosoma, with divergence dating showing that the major diversification of lineages occurred from c.10-4 Ma. Combined, these results support a Mio-Pliocene model of Idiosoma speciation across continental Australia, at a time when the country was undergoing extensive aridification. Finally, results of a maximum likelihood analysis using continuous-time Markov models were consistent with a model of parallel evolution of twig-lining burrowing behaviours in Idiosoma, driven by discrete adaptive shifts in biomes with contrasting levels of aridity.
