A new combination involving Lithyphantes lepidus Cambridge 1897 and a new name for Teutana lepida Cambridge 1903 (Araneae,Theridiidae)

Abstract

O.P. Cambridge described a New Zealand theridiid as Lithyphantes lepidus (1897, Proceedings of the Zoological Society London: 681–703) and a South African theridiid from CapeTown as Teutana lepida (1903, Annals of the South African Museum 3 (5): 143–166). Since then Levi (1957, Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard 117: 367–424) has recognised both Lithyphantes Simon 1881 and Teutana Thorell 1869 as junior synonyms of Steatoda Sundevall 1883. Following this the earlier described L. lepidus becomes Steatoda lepida new combination. As the name S. lepida is thus unavailable T. lepida requires a new name. I hereby provide the name Steatoda capensis nomen novum to replace Teutana lepida Cambridge. This name recognises the origin of the spider, that is Cape Town, South Africa.     

Author and type of the name Iris cengialti (Iridaceae)

Abstract

A. Kerner is correctly the author of the name Iris cengialti previously ascribed to Ambrosi, and consequently the type of the species is here selected, as lectotype, among Kerner's original material kept in WU.     

On the validization of the name Chironomus (Camptochironomus) pallidivittatus sensu edwards, 1929 and elimination of the name Chironomus pallidivittatus Malloch, 1915

The name Chironomus pallidivittatus sensu Edwards is widely used by specialists for the European species described by Edwards, whereas the use of the name Ch. tentans var. pallidivittatus Malloch is limited. In the light of the wide use of the name Chironomus pallidivittatus sensu Edwards, particularly in fields outside taxonomy, combined with virtually no publications on the Ch. tentans variety pallidivittatus Malloch, we recommend that the original Malloch’s application of the name should be suppressed in favor of that of Edwards, 1929. At the same time, synonymy of Ch. pallidivittatus s. Malloch with Ch. tentans Fabricius supposed by Townes (1945) is erroneous. Detailed cytogenetic (Kiknadze et al., 1996) and morphological (Shobanov et al., 1999) studies of North American, European, and Asian populations demonstrated the common occurrence of Ch. dilutus Shobanov, Kiknadze et Butler, 1999 in the Nearctic. This species is different from Ch. tentans but identical with Ch. tentans var. pallidivittatus Malloch, 1915 and the “Nearctic Ch. tentans” sensu Townes (1945).     

Gurania lobata (Cucurbitaceae), a new combination for an overlooked Linnaean name

The new combinationGurania lobata (Cucurbitaceae) is made forAnguria lobata, an overlooked Linnaean name published in the original edition ofPlantae Surinamenses, andG. spinulosa is treated as synonymous with this species.     

Carolibrandtia nom. nov. as a replacement name for Brandtia Hoshina (Chlorellaceae,Trebouxiophyceae)

Recently, the genus name Brandtia Hoshina was given for a chlorellacean symbiotic alga residing in some ciliate species. However, it was found that Brandtia Hoshina 2017 is an illegitimate later homonym of Brandtia Kunth 1831. Therefore, a replacement name, Carolibrandtia nom. nov., for Brandtia Hoshina is here proposed.     

Maksymilianites, a new name forSyringella Nowiński, 1970 (Anthozoa, Tabulata) preoccupied bySyringella Schmidt, 1868 (Porifera)

A new name,Maksymilianites nom. nov. is proposed as a replacing name forSyringella Nowiński, 1970 (Anthozoa, Tabulata), monospecific genus from the Middle/Upper Devonian of Poland preoccupied bySyringella Schmidt, 1868 (Porifera).     

A new name for Limnophyes montanus Chaudhuri,Sinharay & Das Gupta (Diptera: Chironomidae) from India

Limnophyes nigripes is proposed as a replacement name for Limnophyes montanus Chaudhuri, Sinharay & Das Gupta, nee Limnophyes montanus Goetghebuer.     

Barbula sardoa (Schimp.) J.-P.Frahm,a new name for Barbula convoluta Hedw. var. commutata (Jur.) Husn.

Abstract

Barbula convoluta Hedw. var. commutata (Jur.) Husn. differs from var. convoluta not only by characters such as larger size, darker colour and undulate leaf margins, as mentioned in the literature, but, in addition, by a different transverse section of the stem, different basal laminal cells, different papillae on the leaf surface, a different spore ornamentation and different isozyme systems. It should therefore be regarded as a separate species. In this case, the legitimate name would be Barbula sardoa (Schimp.) J.-P. Frahm, since Barbula convoluta var. sardoa Schimp. is revealed to be an earlier synonym of var. commutata.     

Typification of the Linnaean name Ononis crispa and the related O. zschackei (Fabaceae)

The typification of the Linnaean name Ononis crispa and the related O. zschackei (Fabaceae) is discussed. Original material for O. crispa was traced at LINN, but found to be heterogeneous. In addition, the illustration by Magnol cited in the protologue represents O. aragonensis. The name is lectotypified using a specimen at LINN to preserve the current usage of the name and to avoid any ambiguity in the interpretation of the lectotype, an epitype is selected. Since no original material is extant for the name O. zschackei, a neotype is designated from a specimen preserved at P and collected in Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain).

1993年, 于菁珊和董国义为辽宁上三叠统的非海相双壳类化石建立了一个新属辽宁蚌Liaoningia Yu and Dong, 1993, 以Liaoningia opima Yu and Dong, 1993作为模式种。然而, 早在1979年, 邢裕盛和刘桂芝就已为辽宁晚前寒武纪南关岭组所产的化石标本创建了新属名辽宁水母属Liaoningia Xing and Liu, 1979, 模式种是Liaoningia fuxianensis Xing and Liu, 1979。然而, 多数学者反对将它视为水母类化石, 有人怀疑辽宁水母属是假化石, 迄今学术界并无统一意见, 故本文暂将它归为疑问化石(Problematica)。根据“国际动物命名法规”, 我们提出一个新的属名Liaoningoconcha nom. nov., 用以替代Liaoningia Xing and Liu, 1979的次同义名Liaoningia Yu and Dong, 1993, 仍使用于菁珊和董国义在1993年指定的模式种, 中文译名不变。     

New lanostane-type triterpenoids, inonotsutriols D, and E, from Inonotus obliquus

Two new lanostane-type triterpenoids, inonotsutriols D (1) and E (2), were isolated from the sclerotia of Inonotus obliquus (Pers.: Fr.) Pil. (Japanese name: kabanoanatake; Russian name: chaga). Their structures were determined to be lanost-8-ene-3β,22R,24R-triol (1) and lanost-8-ene-3β,22R,24S-triol (2) on the basis of spectral data, including 2D NMR analysis. In addition, major compounds, inotodiol (3), trametenolic acid (4), 3β-hydroxylanosta-8,24-dien-21-al (5), 21-hydroxylanosterol (6), inonotsuoxide A (7) and inonotsuoxide B (8) were identified, and all compounds, except 2, were evaluated for their cancer cell growth inhibitory activity against P388, HL-60, L1210 and KB cell lines.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhynchospora galeana</Emphasis>, a new name for <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhynchospora breviseta</Emphasis> (Gale) Channell (Cyperaceae)

We propose the new name Rhynchospora galeana to replace the illegitimate later homonym R. breviseta (Gale) Channell. Rhynchospora galeana is a member of section Plumosae. It grows in savannas and pinelands in the southeastern U.S.A. and the Greater Antilles.     

Controversies over the scientific name of the principal mosquito vector of yellow fever virus – expediency versus validity

The history of the scientific name of the yellow fever mosquito, the vector of yellow fever virus, ranges from 1757 to the early twenty‐first century. In his 1757 work Iter Palæstinum, Frederic Hasselquist gave the name Culex aegypti to a mosquito species responsible for fierce attacks on humans in Egypt. That name was never later ascribed to Hasselquist as author, but to Linnaeus, although the name never appeared in any of Linnaeus’ publications. In Cuba, at the end of the nineteenth century, the vector of the unknown infectious agent of yellow fever was first identified as Culex mosquito and later more validly named Stegomyia fasciata. Mosquito taxonomists differed strongly about the name of the mosquito through much of the twentieth century. Interventions by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature imposed a biologically invalid specific name, and in the early twenty‐first century a phylogenetic analysis of the culicid tribe Aedini restored the genus Stegomyia from a century earlier. That action was short‐lived. A phylogenetic reassessment resulted in the return of Stegomyia to subgeneric rank in Aedes; thus, the name of the yellow fever mosquito survives in the traditional classification of convenience as the trinomial Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus).     

Genetic analysis of the Linnaean Ulva lactuca (Ulvales,Chlorophyta) holotype and related type specimens reveals name misapplications,unexpected origins,and new synonymies

Current usage of the name Ulva lactuca, the generitype of Ulva, remains uncertain. Genetic analyses were performed on the U. lactuca Linnaean holotype, the U. fasciata epitype, the U. fenestrata holotype, the U. lobata lectotype, and the U. stipitata lectotype. The U. lactuca holotype is nearly identical in rbcL sequence to the epitype of U. fasciata, a warm temperate to tropical species, rather than the cold temperate species to which the name U. lactuca has generally been applied. We hypothesize that the holotype specimen of U. lactuca came from the Indo‐Pacific rather than northern Europe. Our analyses indicate that U. fasciata and U. lobata are heterotypic synonyms of U. lactuca. Ulva fenestrata is the earliest name for northern hemisphere, cold temperate Atlantic and Pacific species, with U. stipitata a junior synonym. DNA sequencing of type specimens provides an unequivocal method for applying names to Ulva species.

Valid publication of the name Callicarpa peichieniana (Lamiaceae)

‘Callicarpa peichieniana W. Y. Chun & S. L. Chen ex W. Z. Fang’ is a replacement name for Premna peii W. Y. Chun ex H. T. Chang. However, this replacement name was not validly published in 1982 by W. Z. Fang because the reference citation of the replaced synonym P. peii that was published in 1960 was contrary to Article 33.4 of ICBN. The first publication of Premna peii in 1960 was invalid due to lack of type indication, in conflict with Article 37.1, and it was subsequently validated in 1963. In this study, we correct the place of valid publication of P. peii, thereby validating C. peichieniana W. Y. Chun & S. L. Chen ex H. Ma & W. B. Yu.     

Lignicolous dematiaceous hyphomycetes in Japan: five new records for Japanese mycoflora, and proposals of a new name, Helminthosporium magnisporum, and a new combination, Solicorynespora foveolata

Through investigations on dematiaceous hyphomycetes on dead ligneous plant substrata, mainly in northern Japan, five species were newly added to the Japanese mycoflora: Corynespora trichiliae, Diplococcium stoveri, Ellisembia folliculata, Monodictys melanopa, and Paratomenticola lanceolata. Morphological characters with line drawings and cultural characteristics of these anamorphic fungi are reported. A new name, Helminthosporium magnisporum for H. gigasporum, and a new combination, Solicorynespora foveolata for H. foveolatum, are proposed.
