- ArticleTorres S, Cao L, Gutiérrez Gregoric DE, de Lucía M, Brea F, Darrigran G.PLoS One. 2018;13(9):e0203616.Bivalves are one of the most representative groups in the Phylum Mollusca, with over 1,100 freshwater species around the world except Antarctica. About 900 of these species belong to the Order Unionida Gray, 1854. In South America, the distributional range of the Unionida includes all countries in the region and extends as far south as the lakes and rivers of Argentinean-Chilean Patagonia. With the aim of generating distribution maps for the different genera of Unionida in Argentina, we consulted the databases of the nation's main official malacological collections. The data were analyzed and georeferenced using the point-radius method. Spatial analyses were performed with the software Q-GIS 2.16.3 Nødebo using vector layers under the 2007 Argentinean Geodesic Positions reference system. A total 1,833 lots were analyzed, of which it was possible to georeference 1,503. The distribution of Unionida in Argentinean territory was analyzed according to political provinces, Surface Drainage Basins and the Argentinean Protected Areas. Species richness was analyzed using the surface drainage basins of Argentina. We generate distribution maps for each genus and discuss the species threat status and conservation degree in the region. Only six (18%) of the Unionida present in Argentina have been classified by the IUCN, four are Least Concern and two are Data Deficient. This pattern is also valid for all of South America. More than 95% of the distributional range of the Unionida has no protected area. Conservation management is necessary for the preservation of Unionida diversity in southern South America.

- ArticleHeiss E, Baňař P.Zootaxa. 2013 Feb 20;3616:291-7.In addition to the ten genera of apterous Mezirinae recorded to date from Madagascar, a new genus Ambohitanlelya gen. nov. with uniquely formed metathoracic evaporatoria is erected for the A. yuripopovi sp. nov., which is described and illustrated.
- ArticleAvila LJ, Martinez LE, Morando M.Zootaxa. 2013 Feb 20;3616:201-38.We update the list of lizards of Argentina, reporting a total of 261 species from the country, arranged in 27 genera and 10 families. Introduced species and dubious or erroneous records are discussed. Taxonomic, nomenclatural and distributional comments are provided when required. Considering species of probable occurrence in the country (known to occur in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay at localities very close to the Argentinean border) and still undescribed taxa, we estimate that the total number of species in Argentina could exceed 300 in the next few years.
- ArticleMorales-C IT, Castro-Vargas MI.Zootaxa. 2013 Feb 20;3616:277-83.A new species of the genus Tachygerris Drake, 1957 (Gerrinae: Tachygerrini) is described from the Amazon region of Colombia. Tachygerris tucanensis sp. nov. is differentiated from other species of the genus by features of the male genitalia and of last abdominal sternite of female. New records of T. adamsoni, T. celocis, and T. opacus are also presented.
- ArticleCoscarón S, Coscarón Mdel C, Gil-Azevedo LH.Zootaxa. 2013 Feb 20;3616:268-76.The previously unknown pupa of Heterostomus curvipalpis Bigot is described. The morphology of the pupa of Heterostomus is compared with the pupae of Xylophagomorpha, Tabanomorpha and Stratiomyomorpha families, based on five characters, and its phylogenetic position is discussed. Currently placed in Xylophagidae, we conclude that the pupa of Heterostomus shares most characters with the pupae of Pelecorhynchidae.
- ArticleGrismer LL, Anuar S, Muin MA, Quah ES, Wood PL.Zootaxa. 2013 Feb 20;3616:239-52.Molecular and morphological analyses indicate that a new upland species of the Cyrtodactylus sworderi complex, C. tebuensis sp. nov. from Gunung Tebu, Terengganu, Malaysia is most closely related to C. sworderi and together they form the sister lineage to C. quadrivirgatus. Cyrtodactylus tebuensis sp. nov. is differentiated from all other species of Sundaland Cyrtodactylus on the basis of having the unique combination of large, conical, keeled body tubercles; tubercles present on top of head, occiput, nape, and limbs, and extending posteriorly beyond base of tail; 43-51 ventral scales; no transversely enlarged, median subcaudal scales; proximal, subdigital lamellae transversely expanded; 17-21 subdigital lamellae on fourth toe; an abrupt transition between posterior and ventral femoral scales; enlarged femoral scales; no femoral or precloacal pores; no precloacal groove; body bearing four wide, bold, dark brown stripes (lateral stripe on each flank and a pair of paravertebral stripes); and a pairwise sequence divergence of 13.0% from its closest relative C. sworderi based on the mitochondrial gene ND2. Cyrtodactylus tebuensis sp. nov. is the first endemic upland species of gekkonid from northeastern Peninsular Malaysia and underscores the necessity for additional field work in all upland systems.
- ArticleHisamatsu S.Zootaxa. 2013 Feb 20;3616:253-67.The Cybocephalidae of Japan is taxonomically treated. The following four species are recognized: Cybocephalus (Cybocephalus) nipponicus Endrödy-Younga, 1971, C. (C.) politissimus Reitter, 1898, C. (C.) chlorocapitis sp. nov., and Pastillus eminentithorax sp. nov. Also, species of the genus Pastillus are first recorded from the Palaearctic Region, and C. (C.) politissimus is first recorded from Japan. Cybocephalus (C.) flavocapitis Smith 2007 is newly designated as a junior synonym of C. (C.) politissimus Reitter, syn. nov. All species are described or redescribed. Dorsal habitus images, illustrations of male and female genitalia, and other important diagnostic characters are provided for all species. A key for identification of all Japanese taxa is also given.
- ArticleParey SH, Saina MS, Pandher MS.Zootaxa. 2013 Feb 20;3616:287-90.Two new species of the genus Pseudostenophylax Martynov 1909 from the Indian Himalaya are described and illustrated. These include P. himachalica sp. n. from Sathrundi (Himachal Pradesh) and P. gulmargensis sp. n. from Gulmarg (Jammu & Kashmir), both belonging to the P. aniketos Group. With these two additions, Pseudostenophylax is now represented in India by 25 species.
