Stigma morphology inAylosterasubg.Mediolobivia(Cactaceae) and its importance for systematic investigation
2013
The stigma of 31 taxa of Aylostera (Cactaceae) was studied using environmental scanning electron microscopy. Seven stigma types could be defined, based on the degree of fusion of the stigmatic lobes and, when these are completely separated (types I and II), their orientation. Four types (types IV, V, VI and VII) are present only in Aylostera subg. Mediolobivia, two of which (types IV and VII) are species-specific. Stigma morphology was found to be a good diagnostic character in Aylostera subg. Mediolobivia, allowing in some cases to distinguish species that had been confused previously. The stigmatic types here defined seem apt to characterize natural groups within the subgenus and are usef…
The Taxon Rasivalva (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in the Palaearctic Region and Description of Rasivalva pyrenaica New Species from Andorra
2005
Rasivalva appears to be an uncommon genus, although it is nearly cosmopolitan with the exception of the Australian continent. Five species have been recorded from Europe and Crimea. In this paper, Rasivalva pyrenaica n. sp. is described as the most southern Palaearctic record of this genus, as well as the first record of the genus from Iberian Peninsula. An identification key is proposed for the Palaearctic species.
On the status of Mabokopithecus clarki
1985
The discovery of a second specimen of Mabokopithecus clarki at Maboko, Western Kenya, has allowed the reassessment of this enigmatic genus and species. The new specimen, unlike the holotype is complete and undamaged, which dispels the uncertainty about the morphology of the distal part of the tooth, a fact that has always hindered proper assessment of the holotype. It is suggested that the two teeth now assigned to the taxon are teratogenic lower molars of Kenyapithecus africanus . The record of the family Oreopithecidae at Maboko based on Mabokopithecus can now be deleted; only to be replaced by abundant records of a new genus of Oreopithecidae quite different in morphology from Mabokopith…
Ent-clerodane diterpenoids from six further species of Teucrium
1985
Abstract Fifteen further species of the genus Teucrium have been investigated. Six of them contain known ent -clerodane diterpenoids; the others did not yield any diterpenoid. The chemotaxonomic significance of these results is discussed.
Un nuevo híbrido para el género <i>Teucrium</i> L. (sect. <i>Polium, Lamiaceae</i>) en la Comunidad Valenciana
2012
A new hybrid is described for the genus Teucrium L. [sect. Polium (Mill). Schreb., Lamiaceae], Teucrium × guarae-requenae [ T. gnaphalodes L’Her. × T. homotrichum (Font Quer) Rivas Mart.] from Fontanars dels Alforins (Valencia Province, Spain). Morphological description and illustrations of the new hybrid are provided.

Eomyops noeliae sp. nov., a new Eomyidae (Mammalia, Rodentia) from the Aragonian of Spain
2009
Abstract A new species of Eomyops, Eomyops noeliae, is described. from the locality MT-20A (Morteral section, Magro basin, eastern Spain). It is intermediate in size between the large eomiid, E. hebeiseni, and the small species of the group E. catalaunicus, E. bodvanus and E. oppligeri. The age range is Lower Aragonian. MT-20A is located between deposits that contain Megacricetodon primitivus and M. collongensis. Morphologically, E. noeliae sp. nov. is clearly different from the rest of species of the genus, due to an important reduction of the lingual anteroloph of M1,2,3 and the labial anterolophid of M3. The lower incisor shows two parallel ridges along the enamel like the type species o…
Detection and identification Fabavirus species by one-step RT-PCR and multiplex RT-PCR
2014
The genus Fabavirus of the family Secoviridae comprises a group of poorly characterized viruses. To date, only five species have been described: Broad bean wilt virus 1 (BBWV-1), Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV-2), Lamium mild mosaic virus (LMMV), Gentian mosaic virus (GeMV) and Cucurbit mild mosaic virus (CuMMV). The development is described of two RT-PCR procedures for the detection and identification of Fabavirus species: a one-step RT-PCR using a single pair of conserved primers for the detection of all fabaviruses, and a one-step multiplex RT-PCR using species-specific primers for the simultaneous detection and identification of the above-mentioned species of the genus Fabavirus. These m…
Description Of A New Species Of Aspinipogon Razowski And Becker, 2010, With The First Reported Female Of The Genus (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
2020
AspinipogonRazowski and Becker, 2010 was described as a monotypic genus from Brazil. Aspinipogon samaypatensis Perez Santa-Rita, Valdivia and Baixeras, new species, is described and illustrated from Bolivia. The female of Aspinipogon is reported for the first time, completing the description of the genus. The unusual combination of characters (e.g., wing pattern and venation, male and female genitalia) are discussed in the context of the enigmatic systematic position of Aspinipogon.
Description and Life History of an Unusual Fern-Feeding Tortricid Moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) from Brazil
2004
Tortrimosaica polypodivora Brown & Baixeras, new genus and new species, is described and illustrated from Sao Paulo, Brazil. We also describe and illustrate the last instar and pupa and provide notes on the life history. Larvae of the new species are gall inducers on the stems of Microgramma squamulosa (Kauf.) Sota (Polypodiaceae), an unusual behavior and host for a tortricid. Although placed provisionally in Hilarographini, tribal and subfamilial assignment of the new genus is extremely problematic owing to a mosaic of morphological characters, suggesting placement in a variety of different higher taxa. The larvae have a bisetose L-group on the prothorax, and the pupa has multiple rows of …
