An inventory of the names of vascular plants endemic to C Mediterranean and described from Tunisia
2019
The census of the loci classici of the 98 vascular plants described from Tunisia, endemic to Tunisia or to Tunisia and the surrounding countries, is here presented and described. The effective place of publication of accepted names, basionyms, and homotypic synonyms were identified and critically verified. The geographic information on the loci classici was excerpted from the protologues, as well as information on typification for the taxa described before 1 January 1958. The names without holotype are 48. For 7 of them a lectotypification is already available in literature, 5 are lecotypified here, while 32 currently accepted taxa still need type designation. The new names Festuca scholzia…
Reëvaluation of Orthotrichum Rhytiore (Orthotrichaceae)
2008
Examination of the holotype of Orthotrichum rhytiore B. H. Allen reveals gametophytic characters which support the placement of the species in Ulota. The species is peculiar within the genus due to its unusual sporophyte morphology, and the occurrence of these sporophytic characters in Ulota is discussed. Ulota rhytiore (B. H. Allen) F. Lara, Garilleti, Albertos & Mazimpaka comb. nov. is the first known species of the genus in tropical America.
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…
A new species of Crepidostomum (Allocreadiidae: Digenea) from northeastern Finland, with comments on its possible origin
1988
Crepidostomum wikgreni n. sp. is described from the gall-bladder and intestine of the whitefish Coregonus acronius in Lake Yli-Kitka in NE Finland. It is morphologically similar to Crepidostomum farionis, with which it occurs sympatrically and sometimes concurrently; but it differs in that the eggs are much larger, i.e. 96±6.5 μm mean-length, as opposed to 71±4.7 μm mean-length for C. farionis in the same host and locality. It is suggested that the new species has arisen from C. farionis after deglaciation and since c. 8,400 BP, at which time the waters of the Lake Kitka System were isolated from those in the rest of Finland and flowed eastwards into the White Sea Basin. The isolation of th…
Description deHymenolepis cerberensisn. sp. (Cestoda : Hymenolepididae) et premières considérations générales sur la faune de Cestodes parasites de l…
1986
Description et differenciation de l’adulte de Hymenolepis cerberensis n. sp. (Cestoda : Hymenolepididae), parasite intestinal de la Musaraigne etrusque, Suncus etruscus (Savi, 1822) (Insectivora : Soricidae : Crocidurinae) capturee sur les communes de Banyuls-sur-Mer et Cerbere (Pyrenees-Orientales, France). La nouvelle espece est caracterisee par la taille des individus gravides et la presence de 18-21 crochets rostraux de 18,5-20 µm de longueur et de filaments autour de l’embryophore. La composition generale de la faune de Cyclophyllidea parasites de S. etruscus est analysee. Il s’agit de trois Hymenolepis peu specialises a scolex du meme type et d’un Pseudhymenolepis , avec absence d’esp…
The identity of the tropical African Polichne mukonja Griffini, 1908 (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae, Phaneropterinae)
2016
Polichne mukonja Griffini, 1908 from Cameroon was hitherto known only from the holotype preserved at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels. This was probably due to the fact that the genus Polichne Stål, 1874 distributed only in Australia and Papua New Guinea. In view of this distribution, the tropical African species was therefore overlooked in the African literature. The recent discovery of two specimens at the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, now provides us with a better understanding of the identity of this taxon, which is related to the African genus Catoptropteryx Karsch, 1890. Polichne mukonja is here transferred to a new genus Griffinipteryx and both taxa are p…
