  Maelamaodiscus somsakpanhai Sutcharit & Pholyotha, 2023     li01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/TNH Abstract The Tenasserim Range runs from north to south and forms not only a natural border between Thailand and Myanmar, but also the backbone of the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, which is rich in endemic species, especially of the malacofauna. Knowledge of land snail diversity in Thailand is continuously expanding and being refined, and various groups have been revised recently. From field surveys throughout the country, unique snails with delicate shell shape ..read more

Hyphessobrycon citrus Marinho & Dagosta, 2024   DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-2023-0127    Abstract The Serra do Cachimbo is a highland area at the southeastern portion of the Amazon Forest drained by the headwaters of tributaries of rios Xingu and Tapajós. It is known as an area of high level of endemism of fish, low species diversity, and very few taxa with broad distribution in the other parts of the Amazon. Despite its biogeographical importance, there are still many poorly sampled areas. Four expeditions to the region yielded in the rediscovery of a poorly ..read more

  Centaurea lovricii Bogdanović, Boršić, Ljubičić, Brullo & Giusso,  in Bogdanović, Boršić, Ljubičić, Brullo et Giusso del Galdo, 2022. DOI: 10.3897/phytokeys.214.89404 Abstract A new species, Centaurea lovricii, is described and illustrated from the island of Vis (Dalmatia, Croatia). It occurs on northwest-facing calcareous cliffs near the sea, where it grows with several other rare endemic species. Centaurea lovricii is morphologically similar to C. glaberrima and C. divergens of C. sect. Centa ..read more

 Ocenebra vazzanai  Crocetta, Houart & Bonomolo, 2020 DOI: 10.3390/jmse8060443    Abstract Three hundred years of study on the Mediterranean molluscan fauna led the scientific community to consider it as the best ever known. However, the rate at which new taxa are discovered and described every year is still remarkably high, even in key predators such as Muricidae Rafinesque, 1815. Within this family, the genus Ocenebra Gray, 1847 comprises species widely distributed in the northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea that were already th ..read more

Valenciolenda fadaforesta Hoch & Sendra,  in Hoch, Sendra, Montagud, Teruel et Ferreira, 2021.   DOI: 10.3897/subtbiol.37.60483 Abstract A new obligately cavernicolous species in the planthopper family Kinnaridae is described from Spain. This is the first record of a cavernicolous kinnarid from the Old World, and the first record of a troglobitic fulgoromorphan hemipteran from mainland Spain, and also the 7th cavernicolous kinnarid species worldwide. Epigean Kinnaridae are not known from the present-day fauna of the Iberian Peninsula no ..read more

Whytockia arunachalensis Taram, D.Borah & Tag, in Taram, Borah, Tag, Möller et Weber, 2022.  rheedea.in/journal/Y9LJnDuK   facebook.com/DipuBorah2   Researchgate.net/publication/360397410 Abstract Based on recent collections from Arunachal Pradesh (Northeast India), a new species of Gesneriaceae, Whytockia arunachalensis, is described. It differs from the other species of Whytockia by its extensive, dense and uniform indumentum over the entire plant and is closely related to the white, but smaller-flowered congeners W. tsiangiana and ..read more

Rhacophorus qiongica Tang, Xiao, Liu, Wang, Yu & Du, 2024  Hainan Flying Frog | 琼树蛙  ||  DOI: 10.3897/zse.100.118879 Abstract Taxonomy and species boundaries within the Rhacophorus rhodopus and Rhacophorus bipunctatus complexes are very confusing. In this study, we attempt to delimit the species boundaries and test the currently accepted taxonomic assignments within these two complexes based on newly collected samples and previously published data across their distributions. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the R. rhodopus and R. bipunctatu ..read more

  Koleken inakayali   Pol,  Baiano, Černý, Novas, Cerda & Pittman, 2024   DOI: 10.1111/cla.12583 Abstract Gondwanan dinosaur faunae during the 20 Myr preceding the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K/Pg) extinction included several lineages that were absent or poorly represented in Laurasian landmasses. Among these, the South American fossil record contains diverse abelisaurids, arguably the most successful groups of carnivorous dinosaurs from Gondwana in the Cretaceous, reaching their highest diversity towards the end of this period. Here we describe Koleke ..read more
