Generic Character

The brown coloration of ascospores is rejected as a generic character in the Hypocreales. The asci of the type species of Macbridella, M. chaetostroma (= Herpotrichia rhodosticta), are bitunicate. Macbridella olivacea (= M. cinnabarina), M. amazonensis, M. sansevierae, and M. striispora have unitunicate asci and are treated as species of Nectria. The asci of the type species of Letendraea, L. eurotioides, are bitunicate. Letendraea eurotioides is lectotypified. Phaeonectria is found to be synonymous with Calostilbe; Calostilbe is regarded as a synonym of Nectria.

Previous Proposal

The taxonomic status of saltwater Bdellovibrio -like prokaryotic predators has been revised to assign species to Halobacteriovorax gen. nov. A reclassification of Bacteriovorax marinus as Halobacteriovorax marinus comb. nov. (type strain ATCC BAA-682T = DSM 15412T) and Bacteriovorax litoralis as Halobacteriovorax litoralis comb. nov. (type strain ATCC BAA-684T = DSM 15409T) is proposed. This revision is necessary because a previous proposal to retain saltwater isolates as species of Bacteriovorax and reclassify Bacteriovorax stolpii as Bacteriolyticum stolpii was not approved. The type species of a genus cannot be reassigned to another genus. Bacteriovorax stolpii is thus retained as the type species of Bacteriovorax and Halobacteriovorax marinus is the type species of Halobacteriovorax and of Halobacteriovoraceae fam. nov.

A recent communication by Marin (2008) discussed the generic position of Typton australis Bruce, 1973, with the conclusion that it should be transferred to the genus Onycocaridella Bruce, 1981, with further changes to the generic attributions of Onycocaridella antokha Marin, 2007 and Onycocaridella monodoa (Fujino & Miyake, 1969) and Onycocaridella stenolepis (Holthuis, 1952), both returned to the genus Onycocaris Nobili, 1904. The assessment of the generic situation of T. australis is not helped by the lack of a detailed illustrated description of T. spongicola Costa, 1844, the type species of the genus, which is in the process of rectification. The range of morphological variation found between the 16 species (including T. australis) referred to Typton strongly suggests that that assemblage is artificial and that the genus is in need of revision. Based on the key of Holthuis (1993), the synoptic diagnosis of the genus Typton is: rostrum present, scaphocerite rudimentary, mandibular palp absent, exopods present on all maxillipeds, ambulatory dactyls biunguiculate. The rudimentary scaphocerite distinguishes Typton from Onycocaris and Onycocaridella in which it is well developed. This character is shared with Typtonychus Bruce, 1996, but both genera can be readily distinguished by the presence of filtratory mouthparts in the latter genus. However, an autapomorphic generic character not utilized in the key by Bruce (1995), but included in the diagnosis given for the genus Typton (see Bruce 1995: 144), is the presence of shearing cutting edges on the fingers of the minor second pereiopod. This configuration of the minor cheliped fingers is present in all species currently referred to Typton, including T. australis, and is a character of major significance in the diagnosis of this genus, being absent from species of Onycocaris and Onycocaridella.

Genomic Regions

We obtained whole genome shotgun sequences and phylogenetically analyzed protein-coding regions of representative skipper butterflies from the genus Carcharodus Hübner, [1819] and its close relatives. Type species of all available genus-group names were sequenced. We find that species attributed to four exclusively Old World genera (Spialia Swinhoe, 1912, Gomalia Moore, 1879, Carcharodus Hübner, [1819] and Muschampia Tutt, 1906) form a monophyletic group that we call a subtribe Carcharodina Verity, 1940. In the phylogenetic trees built from various genomic regions, these species form 7 (not 4) groups that we treat as genera. We find that Muschampia Tutt, 1906 is not monophyletic, and the 5th group is formed by currently monotypic genus Favria Tutt, 1906 new status (type species Hesperia cribrellum Eversmann, 1841), which is sister to Gomalia. The 6th and 7th groups are composed of mostly African species presently placed in Spialia. These groups do not have names and are described here as Ernsta Grishin, gen. n. (type species Pyrgus colotes Druce, 1875) and Agyllia Grishin, gen. n. (type species Pyrgus agylla Trimen, 1889). Two subgroups are recognized in Ernsta: the nominal subgenus and a new one: Delaga Grishin, subgen. n. (type species Pyrgus delagoae Trimen, 1898). Next, we observe that Carcharodus is not monophyletic, and species formerly placed in subgenera Reverdinus Ragusa, 1919 and Lavatheria Verity, 1940 are here transferred to Muschampia. Furthermore, due to differences in male genitalia or DNA sequences, we reinstate Gomalia albofasciata Moore, 1879 and Gomalia jeanneli (Picard, 1949) as species, not subspecies or synonyms of Gomalia elma (Trimen, 1862), and Spialia bifida (Higgins, 1924) as a species, not subspecies of Spialia zebra (Butler, 1888). Sequencing of the type specimens reveals 2.2-3.2% difference in COI barcodes, the evidence that combined with wing pattern differences suggests a new status of a species for Spialia lugens (Staudinger, 1886) and Spialia carnea (Reverdin, 1927), formerly subspecies of Spialia orbifer (Hübner, [1823]).

The morphology of Putoniessa Kirkaldy is reviewed and the genus revised. In total, 28 species are recognised: the type species, P. dignissima Kirkaldy, which is removed from synonymy; one new combination, P. dorsalis (Walker); eight previously described species, P. nigra (Walker), P. minima Evans, P. mackei Evans, P. draba Evans, P. taradalensis Evans, P. sordida Evans, P. nigrella Evans and P. turneri Evans; and 18 new species, P. rieki, P, brisbanensis, P. hickmani, P, neboissi, P. stanthorpensis, P. woodwardi, P. striata, P. evansi, P. variegata, P. tasmaniensis, P. grossi, P. serrata, P. northamensis, P. bifurcata, P. kiataensis, P. watsoni, P. fusca and P. aroka. P. nota Evans is excluded from the genus, and P. maculata Evans is synonymised under P. dorsalis (Walker). P. rivularis (Walker), originally described under Bythoscopus Germar, and P. galliensis Evans are considered as species of uncertain identity. The genus is shown to have a disjunct Bassian distribution with some eastern species extending northwards into the south-east of the Tomesian province. A consensus cladogram for Putoniessa, based on morphological characters, is presented. Large areas of the cladogram remain unresolved because of high levels of homoplasy among the limited number of reliable ingroup characters available. The cladogram does not support a purely vicariant biogeographic hypothesis. Theories that receive qualified support involve an eastern origin for the group followed by either an east-to-west dispersal or a vicariance event affecting a single taxon subsequent to initial speciation. A western origin for the group is strongly refuted.

Syncuaria Gilbert, 1927 is revised and Skrjabinocara Kurashvili, 1940 placed in synonymy with it. Nine species are recognized: S. ciconiae Gilbert, 1927 (type species); S. buckleyi (Ali, 1957) n. comb.; S. decorata (Cram, 1927); S. longialula Wang, 1976; S. leptoptili (Gedoelst, 1916) (=S. parvepapillata Macko, 1962a, 1962b); S. bressoui Gretillat, 1970; S. hargilae (Baylis and Daubney, 1923); S. diacantha Petter, 1961; and S. squamata (Linstow, 1883) n. comb. Redescriptions of the latter five species are provided. Six other species are regarded as species inquirendae: S. calcarata (Molin, 1860), S. contorta (Molin, 1858), S. longeornata (Molin, 1860), S. rostombekovi (Kurashvili, 1940) n. comb., S. ardeae (Smith, Fox and White, 1908), and S. sturni (Ozerskaya, 1927). Syncuaria longevaginata (Molin, 1860) is transferred to Desportesius, resulting in D. longevaginatus (Molin, 1860) n. comb. Syncuaria squamata was found in 11 of 18 young of the year double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax a. auritus (Lesson)) from Lake Erie, Ontario, Canada, indicating that transmission of this species occurs on the breeding ground of its final host.

Desportesius Chabaud and Campana, 1949 is revised. Eight species are recognized: D. brevicaudatus (Dujardin, 1845), D. bubulcusi (Kumar and Gupta, 1979), D. equispiculatus (Wu and Liu, 1943), D. invaginatus (Linstow, 1901), D. longevaginatus (Molin, 1860), D. orientalis (Wu, 1933), D. sagittatus (Rudolphi, 1809), and D. triaenucha (Wright, 1879). Desportesius spinulatus Chabaud and Campana, 1949, D. morneti Gretillat and Morel, 1961, D. cramae Sharma, 1973, D. nigeri Gupta and Kazim, 1978, and D. ibisi Naidu, 1981 are considered synonyms of the type species, D. invaginatus. Desportesius canadensis is regarded as a synonym of D. triaenucha. Three species are regarded as species inquirendae: Synhimantus ardeai Agrawal, 1965, D. groffi (Li, 1934), and D. raillieti (Skrjabin, 1924). Desportesius invaginatus, D. brevicaudatus, D. triaenucha, and D. longevaginatus are redescribed and a key to species is provided. Although Desportesius and Syncuaria Gilbert, 1927 have dissimilar cordon arrangements they may be closely related on the basis of the following shared characters: (i) monodelphy, (ii) vulva located immediately anterior to anus, (iii) highly inflated male caudal alae, (iv) preanal caudal papillae located immediately anterior to anus, and (v) short male and female tails.

A taxonomic review of the cosmopolitan genus Filellum was performed considering morphology, morphometry and cnidome. Species for which we had access to materials were redescribed and morphologically characterized based on optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The materials examined belong to museum collections, including type specimens. All records found in the literature were checked. Our analyses confirmed the validity of 10 out of the 18 nominal species referred to the genus, and established four others (F. adnatum, F. bouvieri, F. contortum and F. plicatum) as species inquirenda. A new species, Filellum bouvetensis sp. nov., is described. The species Reticularia annulata Watson, 1973, type species of the genus Corystolona Watson, 2002, has its type specimen referred to the genus Filellum, composing Filellum annulatum (Watson, 1973). We provide a key for the identification of the valid species of the genus Filellum.

Single Cluster

Three halophilic archaeal strains, YJ-53T, ZS-5 and DYF38, were isolated from marine solar salterns located in different provinces of China. The three strains formed a single cluster (99.7–99.8 and 97.9–99.2 % similarities, respectively) that was separate from the current two members of Salinigranum (96.7–98.0 and 89.8–92.9 % similarities, respectively) on the basis of 16S rRNA and rpoB′ gene sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis. Diverse phenotypic characteristics differentiated strains YJ-53T, ZS-5 and DYF38 from Salinigranum rubrum GX10T and Salinigranum salinum YJ-50-S2T. The major polar lipids of isolated strains were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester and two major glycolipids chromatographically identical to mannosyl glucosyl diether and sulfated mannosyl glucosyl diether, detected in the current members of Salinigranum . The OrthoANI and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) values between the three strains were in the range of 97.7–98.4 % and 80.3–86.1 %, respectively, much higher than the threshold values proposed as species boundaries (average nucleotide identity 95–96 % and in silico DDH 70 %), revealing that the three strains represent one species. Results of comparative OrthoANI and in silico DDH analyses of the strains described in this study with validly described members of the genus Salinigranum supported that strains YJ-53T (=CGMCC 1.12860T=JCM 30238T), ZS-5 (=CGMCC 1.12867=JCM 30240) and DYF38 (=CGMCC 1.13779=JCM 33557) represent a novel species of the genus Salinigranum , for which the name Salinigranum halophilum sp. nov. is proposed.

We propose and describe a new genus of interstitial Paramesochridae, Maliithipon gen. nov., to accommodate three species. Maliithipon wellsi sp. nov., type species of the genus, is described based on specimens collected in two sandy beaches in Isla Verde, the Philippines. Apodopsyllus aberrans Mielke, 1984a described from Panama, is allocated to the herein erected genus as Maliithipon aberrans (Mielke, 1984a) comb. nov. Maliithipon cf. aberrans is described, based on specimens collected in the Azores and previously identified as Apodopsyllus aberrans. The new genus is characterized by several distinct morphological features: mandible with uniramous, 2-segmented palp and gnathobase with thin and pointed teeth; maxillule with reduced armature, lacking endopod and exopod; maxilla large, with three syncoxal endites and endopod with reduced setal number; P5 very reduced in both sexes; caudal rami with six setae, two of which (setae III and VI) transformed; pseudoperculum well-developed, with four-lobed distal margin. The new genus is included in the subfamily Paramesochrinae Lang, 1944 and in the genus-group Scottopsyllus (sensu Huys, 1987). It has strong affinities with Leptopsyllus (Leptopsyllus) platyspinosus Mielke, 1984b and Wellsopsyllus (Intermediopsyllus) smirnovi (Kunz, 1992), which are considered as species inquirendae in this paper. Some remarks on the ecology and geonemy of the three studied species are provided. We also list the accompanying Paramesochridae obtained from the two new collecting sites of the genus, and all the genera of Paramesochridae recorded from other sites in the Philippines during the same survey.

Species Inquirendae

The ciliate genus Zosterodasys was established with Z. agamalievi as the type species by Deroux (1978). Zosterodasys ischaracterized by (i) an obovoidal to ellipsoidal body which is not differentiated into a rostrum anteriorly; (ii) a conspicuouscyrtos, i.e., an obconical cytopharyngeal apparatus; and (iii) a special thickly ciliated structure, the so-called synhymenium,extending obliquely from the left to the right dorsal cell surface across the ventral side and thus interrupting all ventral ciliaryrows and some dorsal ones. Altogether 31 nominal species were originally described or subsequently combined withZosterodasys. However, we recognize only nine of them as reliable Zosterodasys species, eleven represent nomenclaturalsynonyms, one is a junior primary homonym, five are classified as species inquirendae, and five belong to other genera. Weprovide the following data for each reliable Zosterodasys species: author, date, and journal page of the original description; listof synonyms; diagnosis; type locality; type material; etymology; and remarks. Based on the morphologic and morphometriccharacters, we prepared an illustrated taxonomic key, containing all Zosterodasys species considered identifiable in this revision. Further, we discuss characters that have been used in the morphological taxonomy of the genus Zosterodasys.
