巴鲵属犁骨齿列形态的研究及其与北鲵属属征的订正

巴鲵幼体的犁骨齿为位于内鼻孔间略呈“八”形的两列,其前端超出内鼻孔甚多;变态过程中,随着犁骨的生长,其上的犁骨齿前部向内侧弯成直角或锐角。因此,巴鲵属具有小鲵科中与众皆不相同的犁骨齿列型式。研究比较了巴鲵属模式种施氏巴鲵与北鲵属模式种中亚北鲵的国内外各数十号标本,包括二者的模式标本,将该二属的属征加以订正。费梁等认为巴鲵属为北鲵属的异名,可能与他们观察北鲵的标本较少（３号）以及误以为北鲵非繁殖期成体“以水栖为主,均有唇褶”所致。     

青海省发现两栖纲小鲵科无斑山溪鲵

2012年8月,在青海省果洛藏族自治州班玛县采集到小鲵科山溪鲵属标本2尾,经形态鉴定并和山溪鲵属近缘种进行线粒体Cyt b及COⅠ基因序列比较分析,鉴定为无斑山溪鲵(Batrachuperus karlschmidti),为该物种在青海省内首次发现。     

中国小鲵科属、种分类变更的回顾

小鲵科为亚洲特有的有尾两栖动物,是现生有尾目10科中第三大科.中国是小鲵科动物属、种分布的主要区域,且研究其分类历史较久,学者较多,故导致学术观点差异较大.本文对中国小鲵科分类地位发生变更的部分属(巴鲵属Liua、拟小鲵属Pseudohynobius、肥鲵属Pachyhynobius)、种(秦巴巴鲵L. tsinpaensis、满洲小鲵Hynobius mantchuricus、豫南小鲵H. yunanicus、弱唇褶山溪鲵Batrachuperus cochranae和太白山溪鲵B. taibaiensis)的变更历史进行回顾,旨在为小鲵科动物的分类提供一个清晰的背景知识.     

龙洞山溪鲵精子的超微结构

应用透射电镜和扫描电镜对龙洞山溪鲵(Batrachuperuslongdongensis)精子的超微结构进行观察和研究,探讨山溪鲵属以及小鲵科物种精子的结构特征,并探讨有尾两栖类精子结构特征的演化及其与生殖进化的关系。结果表明:1)龙洞山溪鲵的精子具小鲵科物种精子的共同特征,即精子无顶体钩,顶体呈三叶草状,尾部无线粒体,轴纤维粗大呈圆柱状等特征;2)龙洞山溪鲵精子核脊的形态结构与小鲵科其它属物种以及有尾类其它科物种精子的核脊存在明显的差别,由此可见核脊形态结构具有属或种的特异性。此外,与已有报道的有尾两栖类物种精子的结构特征进行分析比较表明:1)有尾类精子特征的分化与其受精方式的变化是一致的;2)精子结构特征支持隐鳃鲵超科为单系的推测     

三种小鲵和极北鲵的核型

本文报道了安吉小鲵（Ｈｙｎｏｂｉｕｓａｍｊｉｅｎｓｉｓ）、中国小鲵（Ｈ．ｃｈｉｎｅｎｓｉｓ）、东北小鲵（Ｈ．ｌｅｅｃｈｉ）（辽宁桓仁）和极北鲵（Ｓａｌａｍａｎｄｒｅｌａｋｅｙｓｅｒｌｉｎｇｉ）（吉林白河）的核型。３种小鲵２ｎ＝５６,染色体按大小和形状分为大、中、小型双臂和小型单臂４组。极北鲵２ｎ＝６２,染色体按大小和形状可分为大、中、小型３组。对东北小鲵辽宁桓仁与辽宁千山标本核型的显著差异结合分类学问题进行了讨论。对３种小鲵核型进行了比较分析,并讨论了中国的小鲵属核型特点。比较了不同地区极北鲵核型的异同,并将其与小鲵属核型进行了比较。     

山溪鲵的骨骼系统

用硬骨-软骨双色染色技术对山溪鲵Batrachuperus pinchonii骨骼系统做了较全面观察,对各骨块的形状、位置及与邻近骨块的关系作了较详细描述,并与小鲵科中其它5个种骨骼特征作了比较.     

我国小鲵科一新属新种的描述

1959年至1981年,在大别山、桐柏山、伏牛山及太行山等地区调查,发现小鲵科一种,外部形态和头骨特征与已知小鲵科各属均有明显区别。现将商城标本与相近的小鲵属和北鲵属的主要特征对比如表1（图1—3）。 从表1可以看出,商城标本与相近的小鲵属和北鲵属都有显著区别,应为一个新属新种。模式标本保存在新乡师范学院。现描述如下:     

山溪鲵的脊柱特征,兼议有尾目脊柱的划分

为探讨有尾目脊椎的划分,本文以小鲵科的山溪鲵(Batrachuperus pinchonii)为例,运用透明骨骼双色法对其脊柱的形态特征进行了观察,并对各部分椎骨特征进行详细描述和绘图.结果显示,山溪鲵的脊椎根据椎骨是否具前关节突、横突、肋骨、肋软骨和脉弓等形态特征可分5部分;同时结合小鲵科其他20种94号标本和蝾螈科6种27号标本的脊柱特征及文献资料,讨论了有尾目脊椎的划分,认为将有尾目脊柱划分为5部分(颈椎、躯椎、荐椎、尾荐椎和尾椎)的观点较将其划分为4部分(颈椎、躯椎、荐椎和尾椎)的观点更合理.

小鲵科线粒体16S rRNA基因序列分析及其系统发育

To study the phylogeny of Hynobiidae, we amplified DNA fragments of 470 bp 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene on mitochondrial DNA from Ranodon sibiricus and Ranodon tsinpaensis. PCR products were cloned into PMD18 T vector after purification. These sequences were determined and deposited in the GenBank (accession numbers: AY373459 for Ranodon sibiricus, AY372534 for Ranodon tsinpaensis). By comparing the nucleotide differences of 16S ribosomal RNA sequences among Liua shihi, Pseudohynobius flavomaculatus and Batrachuperus genus from GenBank database, we analyzed the divergences and base substitution among these sequences with the MEGA software. The molecular results support that B. tibetanus, B. pinchonii and B. karlschmidti are classified into three valid species. Liua shihi has closer phylogenetic relationships to Ranodon tsinpaensis than to other species. More our results reveal that Pseudohynobius flavomaculatus is not a synonym of Ranodon tsinpaensis.

Revisions of the Genera Lathraea and Christisonia (Orobanchaceae) in China

The present paper deals with taxonomic studies on the genera Lathraea Linn. and Christisonia Gard. (Orobanchaceae) in China. In the genus Lathraea, only a single species in China, L. japonica Miq., is recongnized in the paper. It occurs in southern Shaanxi, southern Gansu, southeastern Sichuan, northern Guizhou and northern Guangdong, also in Japan. L. miqueliana Franch. et Sav., L. chinfushanica Hu et Tang and L. japonica Miq. var. miqueliana (Franch. et Sav.) Ohwi are treated as new synonyms of L. japonica Miq. in this paper. In the genus Christisonia, the most of collections from China, which were identified as C. sinensis G. Beck before, are treated as a new synonym of C. hookeri C. B. Clarke. A few collections of this genus from China, which were mistakenly described as Gleadovia lepoense Hu snd G. kwangtungense Hu, should be transferred to Christisonia hookeri C. B. Clarke. It is distributed in southeastern and south China, westwards to the Himalayas.     

中国竹飞虱属分类研究(半翅目,蜡蝉总科,飞虱科)

整理记述中国飞虱科竹飞虱属Bambusiphaga Huang et Ding 14种.研究发现丁锦华、黄其林(1979)对该属模式种黑斑竹飞虱B.nigripunctata雄性外生殖器阳茎结构的图示与王金川、丁锦华(1996)在<甘肃飞虱>中对该种阳茎结构的记述及图示不同,通过解剖西北农林科技大学昆虫?骀 博物馆馆藏的该种标本,发现其阳茎结构与王金川、丁锦华(1996)记述及图示的阳茎结构相同,在检查了该种的模式标本后,确认丁锦华、黄其林(1979)图示的雄性外生殖器阳茎结构并非本种.本文对该种雄性外生殖器结构作了重新描记,并绘制了该种成虫及雄性外生殖器鉴别特征图.文中还建立1个新组合:B.bakeri(Muir)nov.comb.及2个新异名:B.membranacea Yang et Yang,1986为B.furca Huang et Ding,1979的异名;B.latispina Qin et Yuan,1999为B.bakeri(Muir,1919)的异名.文中还提供了该属所有中国种类的检索表.

A comparative study of the hyobranchial apparatus in Hynobiidae (Amphibia: Urodela)

The morphology of the adult hyobranchial apparatus has played an important role in understanding the systematics and evolution of urodeles, but the hyobranchial apparatus of hynobiid salamanders has received little attention so far. In this study, the hyobranchial apparatus of eight hynobiid salamanders (Hynobius leechii, Onychodactylus zhangyapingi, Ranodon sibiricus, Batrachuperus pinchonii, Salamandrella keyserlingii, Liua shihi, Pachyhynobius shangchengensis and Pseudohynobius flavomaculatus) is described and compared based on the clearing and double-staining method. The basic elements of the hyobranchial apparatus of the eight species are similar, including one basibranchial, cornua, one pair of radial loops, one pair of ceratohyals, one pair of hypobranchials II, one pair of ceratobranchials II, one urohyal (absent in O. zhangyapingi), one pair of the complex of hypobranchial I and ceratobranchial I (separated in certain species). Although the hyobranchial apparatus is similar among hynobiid salamanders and shows a unique morphological pattern, there are also certain species-specific distinctions that may be used for specific or generic diagnosis. The results of an ancestral state reconstruction of five traits showed that the ossified basibranchial, the presence of a separated hypobranchial I and ceratobranchial I, the absence of a urohyal, the ossified hypobranchial I and the partially ossified ceratohyal are derived traits. The state shown by the traits of each species is consistent with the phylogenetic position of each species. Compared with other Urodela, the hyobranchial apparatus of this group shows certain distinctive features that may represent the diagnostic characters of the family Hynobiidae. The partially ossified ceratohyal is correlated with the habitat and represents an ecological adaptation.     

Morphological Characteristics of the Dorsal Skin of Two Hynobiids and Their Adaptive Role in Aquatic and Terrestrial Habitats

The morphological characteristics of the dorsal skin of trunk in two species of hynobiid salamanders, Batrachuperus pinchonii and Hynobius chinensis were examined by light microscopy. The basic structures of the skin in the two species are similar and consist of two layers: epidermis and dermis. The epidermis consists of stratum corneum, stratum intermedium and stratum germinativum, while the dermis is composed of a stratum spongiosum and stratum compactum. However, some species-specific variation has been identified(e.g., the distribution of capillary vessels and gland cells, and the thickness of skin). H. chinensis is a terrestrial species and only lives in water during breeding period, but B. pinchonii is aquatic and remains aquatic throughout its lifetime. The differences in the distribution of capillary vessels and gland cells are related to their different habitats, and show a morphological adaptation.     

A discussion on the Heteracanthocephalidae Petrochenko, 1956 (Acanthocephala: Palaeacanthocephala)

Several heteracanthocephalid specimens were recovered from the flatfish Rhombosolea leporina (Günther), a host of Heteracanthocephalus peltorhamphi (Baylis, 1944) Petrochenko, 1956 from New Zealand. Unlike H. peltorhamphi, these new specimens have trunk spines. Measurements and proboscis armament of the new specimens are consistent with the worms being Aspersentis minor Edmonds & Smales, 1992 originally described from the Australian flounder Rhombosolea tapirina Günther. A review of the family Heteracanthocephalidae Petrochenko, 1956 was undertaken to assess the validity of its four genera and eight species. The validity of Aspersentis megarhynchus (Linstow, 1892) Golvan, 1960 (syn. Echinorhynchus megarhynchus Linstow, 1892) is questioned. E. megarhynchus is not considered to be an heteracanthocephalid and is relegated to a species inquirenda. A. megarhynchus (Linstow, 1892) of Golvan (1960) nec E. megarhynchus Linstow, 1892 is considered a synonym of A. austrinus Van Cleave, 1929. The monotypic genus Heteracanthocephalus Petrochenko, 1956 is proposed as a synonym of Aspersentis Van Cleave, 1929 because there appear to be insufficient morphological differences between them. Aspersentis peltorhamphi n. comb. is proposed for Heteracanthocephalus peltorhamphi. The monotypic genus Sachalinorhynchus Krotov & Petrochenko in Petrochenko, 1956 is considered valid, but the other heteracanthocephalid genus, Bullockrhynchus Chandra, Rao & Shyamasundari, 1985, also monotypic, is not. B. indicus Chandra, Rao & Shyamasundari, 1985 possesses more features resembling rhadinorhynchids than heteracanthocephalids but only females are known, and therefore the genus and species cannot be placed. There are currently four valid species of Aspersentis and one of Sachalinorhynchus.     

Cryptic species and systematics of the hynobiid salamanders of the Liua–Pseudohynobius complex: Molecular and phylogenetic perspectives

Using mitochondrial DNA sequencing and allozyme electrophoresis, we examined 18 populations of the Liua–Pseudohynobius complex, endemic to China. Based on their phylogenetic affiliation and exhibited fixed allelic differences, the complex comprises at least six species, two of which are previously unknown cryptic species. The complex is clearly divided into two groups, genus Liua including Liua shihi and Liua tsinpaensis, and genus Pseudohynobius including Pseudohynobius flavomaculatus, Pseudohynobius shuichengensis and the two new species. The previously often used genus name Ranodon is inappropriate, because the type species of the genus, Ranodon sibricus, is distantly related to this complex. The species diversity among Chinese hynobiid salamanders are far from being recognized and further effort should be directed at extensive field collection in central and western China.
