Title: New genus and subgenus of South American long-horned bees (Apidae, Eucerini)
As part of a broader treatment of Eucerini systematics, a new genus and a new subgenus are described to accommodate previously described species. Savannychapis gen. n. is described to accommodate Gaesischia interrupta Urban 1989, originally described as a species of Gaesischia (Gaesischiana) Michener et al. 1955, and Gaesischia (Gaesischioides) subgen. n. to accommodate Gaesischia hyptidis (Ducke 1910), previously included in Gaesischia s. str. Michener et al. 1955 and G. (Agaesischia) Moure & Michener 1955. These new taxa are only known in the South American dry diagonal, a set of open vegetation biomes of central-eastern South America.  more » « less

    A new genus, Pericallea gen. n., is described to accommodate the new species Pericallea katherina sp. n., a species endemic to inland districts of south-western Western Australia. Relationships of the new genus are discussed, and the male calling song of the new species is described and analysed.

    The Niphta Theischinger fauna of South America is revised to include 11 species, nine of which are described as new to science ( N. acus Pivar, sp. nov. , N. bifurcata Pivar & Moulton, sp. nov. , N. bispinosa Pivar & Sinclair, sp. nov. , N. brunnea Pivar, sp. nov. , N. courtneyi Pivar, sp. nov. , N. daniellae Pivar, sp. nov. , N. downesi Pivar, sp. nov. , N. eurydactyla Pivar, sp. nov. , N. mapuche Pivar, sp. nov. ). The genus Niphta is redefined, both previously described Chilean species are redescribed, N. halteralis (Edwards) and N. nudipennis (Edwards), and females are described or redescribed where possible. The first descriptions of the immature stages of South American Niphta are provided, which represent a new larval morphotype in Thaumaleidae, as larvae and pupae possess ventral adhesive structures. Furthermore, these larvae were collected from vegetation rather than rocky substrates. Illustrations and micrographs are provided for all species, and scanning electron microscopy images are included for select immatures. A key to species, distribution maps, and discussions regarding phylogenetic affinities and habitat are also included.

    A new avian chewing louse genus Apomyrsidea gen. nov. is described based on species parasitizing birds in the family Formicariidae. Diagnostic characteristics and phylogenetic analyses were used to evaluate and confirm the generic status and merit its recognition as unique and different from Myrsidea Waterston, 1915. Three species previously belonging to the genus Myrsidea are placed in the new genus Apomyrsidea gen. nov. and are discussed: Apomyrsidea circumsternata (Valim & Weckstein, 2013) gen. et comb. nov., Apomyrsidea isacantha (Valim & Weckstein, 2013) gen. et comb. nov. and Apomyrsidea klimesi (Sychra in Sychra et al., 2006) gen. et comb. nov.

    The nomenclature and status of the fossil-genus Sparganiaceaepollenites Thiergart 1937 and several of its species are problematic. We confirm the status of the genus and provide an emended description for it to accommodate new characters that were recently described in some species. We note that (i) the name Sparganiaceaepollenites microreticulatus Grabowska and Wa?y?ska 2009 from the Miocene of Poland is illegitimate according to the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, as a later homonym of Sparganiaceaepollenites microreticulatus Kar and Jain 1981 from the Miocene of India; (ii) the name Sparganiaceaepollenites reticulatus Samant et al. 2022 from the Maastrichtian of India is illegitimate as a later homonym of Sparganiaceaepollenites reticulatus Doktorowicz-Hrebnicka 1960 ex Krutzsch and Vanhoorne 1977 from the Miocene of Poland; and (iii) the name Sparganiaceaepollenites annulatus Thakre et al. 2024 from the Danian of India is illegitimate as a later homonym of Sparganiaceaepollenites annulatus De Benedetti 2023 from the Maastrichtian?Danian of Argentina. We propose the new names (i) Sparganiaceaepollenites oczkowicensis nom. nov. subst. pro Sparganiaceaepollenites microreticulatus Grabowska and Wa?y?ska; and (ii) Sparganiaceaepollenites intertrappeansis nom. nov. subst. pro S. reticulatus Samant et al. (an emended description is provided). Additionally, Sparganiaceaepollenites annulatus Thakre et al. is considered a heterotypic synonym of Sparganiaceaepollenites intertrappeansis nom. nov.

    This dataset of detrital cosmogenic 10Be erosion rates from stream sands includes new and previously published measurements, compiled as part of DiBiase et al. (2023). Sample location information has been updated from original publications using field notes, pictures, and new lidar topography to align with correct stream network position. All erosion rates have been recalculated using updated in situ 10Be production rate estimates in quartz, as described in DiBiase et al. (2023). In addition to 10Be data, this dataset also includes catchment-scale topographic, climate, and landslide impact metrics, as described in DiBiase et al. (2023).
