A new marine benthic toxic Prorocentrum species is described from the tropical/subtropical regions of the Atlantic (Colombian Caribbean Sea and Northeast Brazil) and Pacific (Southern Japan) oceans. Morphological cell structures were examined using light (LM) and scanning electron (SEM) microscopy. Prorocentrum porosum sp. nov. was characterized by...

The genera Ignatzschineria and Wohlfahrtiimonas were originally classified as members of the family Xanthomonadaceae, order Xanthomonadales of the class Gammaproteobacteria. With the recent taxonomic revisions in the order Xanthomonadales, the two genera were left unclassified in both family and order level. As members of these genera were consider...
peer reviewed / Two new species of genus Leinendera Carrera 1945 from Brazil, L. lusitania sp. nov. and L. francisii sp. nov., are described. The habitus, wing and male terminalia are described and illustrated. An identification key for the seven Leinendera species is provided.
Three new species of the genus Notochodaeus are described from Java, illustrated and compared with the most morphologically closely related species. Distribution maps of the new species herein described as well as an updated catalogue of the Nothochodaeini Nikolajev inhabiting the island of Java are provided.

The purpose of this paper was to study specimens of the genus Rodentolepis isolated from eight species of Sigmodontinae rodents (Rodentia: Cricetidae) from six provinces in the Cuenca del Plata, Argentina, based on morphological, morphometric and molecular characteristics (ITS1 rDNA and cox1 mtDNA). The genetic distances among studied specimens and...

Despite the recent advances raised in the molecular era to the taxonomic knowledge of species of the family Clinostomidae, especially those belonging to the specious genus Clinostomum, some groups of these vertebrate parasites remain poorly studied. This is the case of species of the enigmatic genus Ithyoclinostomum Witenberg, 1926, until recently ...
A list of diadromous and marine fishes occurring in the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon archipelago and its eez has been compiled from various available data sources: collections, local and international databases, and literature. this belated work was needed as the only existing checklist dates back to the 19th century and Fishbase, as of early 2022, pr...

About 20 valid species of the genus Rhabdias are known in the Neotropical region. The present study aimed to describe two new species of Rhabdias parasitizing the lungs of Leptodactylus macrosternum and Leptodactylus podicipinus from Brazil. Distinctive characteristics between these species are numerous and based on body size, size of the buccal ca...

The extreme sparsity of collection efforts in many parts of the word, including southern Africa, leaves a vast hidden diversity of marine cestode species, such as species of Phoreiobothrium. The examination of a common South African coastal-pelagic shark species, Carcharhinus brevipinna (Valenciennes), resulted in the discovery of a new species of ...

We provide the first assessment of fungal diversity associated with historic wooden structures at Whalers Bay (Heritage Monument 71), Deception Island, maritime Antarctic, using DNA metabarcoding. We detected a total of 177 fungal amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) dominated by the phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Mortierellomycota, Chytridiomycota,...
