关于东方蜡蝉属PYROPS SPINOLA的名称问题：（半翅目：蜡蝉总科：蜡蝉科：蜡蝉？

Ｌｉｎｎａｅｕｓ（１７５８,１７６４,１７６７）将产于南美的蜡蝉ｌａｔｅｒｎａｒｉａ和产于中国的蜡蝉ｃａｎｄｅｌａｒｉａ分别描记于Ｃｉｃａｄａ、Ｌａｔｅｒｎａｒｉａ和Ｆｕｌｇｏｒａ三个不同的属下,由此产生了命名学上的一个问题。一些学者将ｃａｎｄｅｌａｒｉａ及东洋区的相关种类归为Ｆｕｌｇｏｒａ下（如Ｄｉｓａｎｔ,１９０６,１９６１;Ｂａｋｅｒ,１９２５）;而另一些学者则将ｌａｔｅｒｎａｒｉａ及新热带

Phylogenetic systematic evaluation of a classification of the Zoogonidae Odhner, 1902 (Cercomeria: Trematoda: Digenea: Plagiorchiiformes)

A recent systematic study of the digenean family Zoogonidae presented a series of cladograms, which are the product of phylogenetic systematic, or cladistic, analysis. However, one of the two subfamilies and nine of the 21 genera recognised in that study lacked putative synapomorphies, a requirement for phylogenetic systematic studies. This study presents a re-analysis of the database for the zoogonids, based on rigorous application of phylogenetic systematic methods. A new phylogenetic tree is presented, which better fits the original data than the published tree (with a consistency index of 52.3% vs. 46.3%). Four subfamilies, three monophyletic and one of uncertain status, and 10 genera could be recognised phylogenetically. This would affect the nomenclatorial status of one-third (26) of the species in the family. However, it is recommended that another analysis, based on more characters, be carried out before nomenclatorial changes are proposed.

The ultrastructure of the sensory plaque organs of the antennae the chinese lantern fly, Pyrops Candelaria L., (Homoptera, Fulgoridae)

The plaque organs of Pyrops consist of elaborately folded, finely perforated cuticular areas, each associated with numerous bipolar sensory cells organised in groups. The proximal, mitochondrial region of each dendrite narrows to reveal a ciliary ultrastructure. The ciliary fibrils pass into a highly vesiculated region and beyond this are succeeded by a dense array of neurotubules. Peripherally the dendrites proliferate numerous fine branches from which finer filaments extend into the cuticular pores. The plaques are considered to be complex olfactory organs evolved from groups of sensilla basiconica.     

Brachiopods in the Linnaean Collection

This report is the first attempt to record and figure all the brachiopod specimens preserved in the Linnaean Collection, and to assign the species to genera.
Because of the importance of a knowledge of the background to the collection as it exists today, a resume of the work done by one of us (Dance, 1967) follows. A complete list of Linnaeus's species of Anomia is also given, and the present nomenclatorial status of that genus noted.     

Catalogue of Types Deposited in the Canadian National Collection of Nematodes

Primary and secondary types housed in the Canadian National Collection of Nematodes are given for 396 species of plant-parasitic, marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and entomophagous nematodes. Species are listed in alphabetical order and include author(s), date, publication source, type category, numbers and sex, and collection accession number. Current nomenclatorial changes in status of a binomial are not given, but authority data are added for type designations made to the original type series.     

A cladistic analysis of Erythracarinae (Acarina: Prostigmata: Anystidae), with the description of a new genus

A cladistic analysis of sixty erythracarine species is presented and used to justify recent nomenclatorial changes to the classification of erythracarine genera. Erythracarinae is redescribed, and a new diagnosis for the subfamily and a key to the included genera are presented. Neotarsolarcus is recognized as a junior synonym of Tarsolarkus, which is recorded for the first time from North America. A new genus, Pedidromus, with six new species (P. agitatus sp.n. P. curiosus sp.n., P. durongensis sp.n., P. peliculus sp.n., P. pilotrix sp.n., P. velox sp.n.) is described.     

Approaches to the study of the systematics of anaerobic,Gram-negative,non-sporeforming rods: Current status and perspectives

The present article gives an overview of recent taxonomic changes among the Gram-negative, anaerobic rods, briefly highlighting areas where the biology and ecology have a bearing on recent nomenclatorial changes. The focus is among the genera Bacteroides, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Leptotrichia, Dysgonomonas, Fusobacterium and the Synergistes group and additionally demonstrates the value of conserved indels and group-specific proteins for identifying and circumscribing many of these taxa and the Bacteroidetes–Chlorobi species in general.     

A new species of Uronychia (Spirotrichea: Euplotida) from Argentina

Uronychia clapsae sp. n. was discovered in an artificial channel that drains an endorheic area from the “sandy Pampa” into the upper basin of Salado River, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This euplotid measures 56–112 μm × 42–70 μm in vivo, is oval in shape and the buccal field is enormous, occupying ca. 80% of body length. It is characterized by having two macronuclear nodules and one micronucleus; usually 10 anterior and invariably three posterior membranelles; right end of paroral hook-like; buccal cirrus base about 3.5–6.0 μm long; invariably four frontal, two ventral, three left marginal, four transverse, and three caudal cirri; six dorsal kineties, kinety 1 with 15–22 dikinetids. Most Uronychia species were recorded in marine habitats, while this new isolate was found in a slightly saline, inland water body. Taxonomic and nomenclatorial concerns on some species assigned to Uronychia are also discussed.     

Overview of the taxonomy of zooxanthellate Scleractinia

Coral taxonomy has entered a historical phase where nomenclatorial uncertainty is rapidly increasing. The fundamental cause is mandatory adherence to historical monographs that lack essential information of all sorts, and also to type specimens, if they exist at all, that are commonly unrecognizable fragments or are uncharacteristic of the species they are believed to represent. Historical problems, including incorrect subsequent type species designations, also create uncertainty for many well‐established genera. The advent of in situ studies in the 1970s revealed these issues; now molecular technology is again changing the taxonomic landscape. The competing methodologies involved must be seen in context if they are to avoid becoming an additional basis for continuing nomenclatorial instability. To prevent this happening, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) will need to focus on rules that consolidate well‐established nomenclature and allow for the designation of new type specimens that are unambiguous, and which include both skeletal material and soft tissue for molecular study. Taxonomic and biogeographic findings have now become linked, with molecular methodologies providing the capacity to re‐visit past taxonomic decisions, and to extend both taxonomy and biogeography into the realm of evolutionary theory. It is proposed that most species will ultimately be seen as operational taxonomic units that are human rather than natural constructs, which in consequence will always have fuzzy morphological, genetic, and distribution boundaries. The pathway ahead calls for the integration of morphological and molecular taxonomies, and for website delivery of information that crosses current discipline boundaries. © 2013 The Author.
