Generic concept of the phytoseiids (Acari: Phytoseiidae) according to Athias-Henriot
2010
The economic importance of the Phytoseiidae motivated many scientists to work on the systematics of this family. One of them was the French acarologist Claire Athias-Henriot. In her first work, she tackled the question of supraspecific groupings within this family from an evolutionistic point of view, and suggested a system for numbering dorsal shield setae, that could be applied to both hypotrichous and holotrichous forms. She also looked for other characters, such as the ratios of the distance between the insertions of some setae on dorsal and sternal shields, the presence of macrosetae on legs, and the length/width ratio of the ventrianal shield. Following Dosse (1957; 1958) who used the…
An inventory of the names of vascular plants endemic to Italy, their loci classici and types
2015
The census of the loci classici of 1,400 Italian endemic vascular plants (i.e. not thriving elsewhere with the exception of Corsica and Malta) is here presented and described. The effective place of publication of accepted names, basionyms and homotypic synonyms were identified and critically verified. This often resulted in some change in authorship attribution and, in seven cases, in validation problems (Asperula cynanchica var. lactea var. nov., A. lactea comb. nov., Biscutella laevigata subsp. raffaelliana subsp. nov., Ferulago nodosa subsp. geniculata comb. & stat. nov., Limonium tineoi comb. nov., L. usticanum sp. nov., Noccaea torreana comb. nov.). The geographic information on t…
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…
A reassessment of the sections of the genus Cytisus Desf. (Cytiseae, Leguminosae)
2006
Recent morphological and molecular research on Cytisus and allied genera has produced a great deal of new data relevant to systematics, which have not yet been incorporated into a consistent classification system of the genus. We have compared and evaluated recently published cladograms and phenograms based on morphological and molecular (nuclear and plastid DNA) characters. The genus Cytisus sensu lato, including Calicotome, Chamaecytisus, Chronanthus, and Lembotropis, appears to be monophyletic. A subdivision of the genus Cytisus in 13 sections is presented; one species, C. tribracteolatus, remains incertae sedis. A new section (C. sect. Dendrocytisus) and two new combinations for taxa in…
<p><strong>Typification of the name <em>Eryngium siculum </em>(Apiaceae)</strong></p>
2020
As part of an ongoing study on the names of vascular plants described from Sicily (e.g., Di Gristina et al. 2012, Domina et al. 2014, 2016, Di Gristina et al. 2017, Domina et al. 2017a, 2017b, Scafidi & Domina 2019, Di Gristina et al. 2020), a nomenclature study of the name Eryngium siculum Lojacono-Pojero (1906: 294) (Apiaceae Lindl.), which appears to be yet untypified (see Domina et al. 2014, Peruzzi et al. 2015), is here presented. The present study, which deals with the untypified name Eryngium siculum Lojacono-Pojero (1906: 294), falls within the researches promoted by the Italian Botanical Society aimed to recognize and typify all the taxa described from Italy, in order to increa…
Three new Spanish species of Biscutella L. (Brassicaceae) and remarks on B. valentina (L.) Heywood
2000
Abstract Three new species are described in Biscutella sect. Biscutella from the central-eastern mountains of the Iberian Peninsula B. bilbilitana Mateo & M.B. Crespo, B. segurae Mateo & M.B. Crespo, and B. conquensis Mateo & M.B. Crespo. They are characterized morphologically, ecologically and chorologically. Data separating them from B. valentina (L.) Heywood, a taxon to which they sometimes have been referred, are also reported.
The genus Pterocephalus (Dipsacaceae) in Morocco
1999
In Morocco the genus Pterocephalus ADANS. (Dipsacaceae) is represented by two species: Pterocephalus depressus COSSON & BALANSA, endemic in the Grand Atlas and Pterocephalus kunkelianus PERIS, ROMO & STUBING sp. nova, endemic in the central part of the Rif mountains. Information on the nomenclature, morphology, ecology and distribution of both taxa in Morocco is given here and original illustrations are also included. In Marokko wird die Gattung Pterocephalus ADANS. (Dipsacaceae) durch zwei Arten vertreten: Pterocephalus depressus COSSON & BALANSA, endemisch im Grosen Atlas, und Pterocephalus kunkelianus PERIS, ROMO & STUBING sp. nova, endemisch im zentralen Rif-Gebirge.

Nomenclatural and taxonomic remarks on Prunus cupaniana (Rosaceae) from Sicily
2010
“Prunus cupaniana” is a nomen nudum doubtfully given by Gussone (1842) to some Sicilian populations close to Prunus mahaleb L. from which they are distinct by both biological and ecological characters. This name was later cited by Nyman (1878) which did not provide its validation, contrary to the erroneous IPNI report “Prunus cupaniana Guss. ex Nyman -- Consp. Fl. Eur. 1: 213. 1878 [Sep 1878]“. Fiori (1926) applied the Gussone’s epithet to the infraspecific combination “Prunus mahaleb cupaniana(Guss.)”, which is invalid being based on a nomen nudum. Before Fiori, Lojacono (1891) treated the same populations under P. mahaleb var. prostrata. Recently Raimondo & Spadaro [in Fl. Medit. 19: 309 …
